Dependent Chil dren' s
 Bill Comes Up Again
Measure to Be Introduced in Legislature Next Month
 With Support of State Public Welfare Council

The state juvenile court bill and the dependent children's bill, which failed of passage at the 1887 session of the general assembly, will be in troduced again in the legislature in January. The bills will have the sup port of the state public welfare council, and numerous state organ izations concerned with social well fare, juvenile, and probation prob- lelnS.
 Under the juvenile court bill, juvenile courts like those now op- erating in Windham and Fairfield counties would be set-up in every county of the state. Full-time judges would head the courts and would be assisted by juvenile probation officers.
 The juvenile courts would have full jurisdiction in the cases of chil- dren under the age of 16. Supporters of the plan say that experienced court staffs would enable the state to save money, since many children can be adjusted in their own homes, without being committed to state institutions, where their hpkeep must be paid for by the taxpayers of the state.
 Mrs. Herbert Fisher, a member of the public welfare council, points out that in Fairfield county under, the juvenile court system the rate of juvenile commitments has dropped from seven per 100 cases to two per 100 cases.
 The dependent children's bill would make it possible for the state to secure federal funds for the care of dependent children. It would make possible keeping more children in their own homes or the homes of relatives, thereby reducing the num- Der of dependent children in state institutions.

Nurses Experience
 "Rough Going In Daily Missions

During the recent storm Vis- iting Nurses of this city reached all patients without exception. Some of the handicaps hinder ing them were rutted streets and unplOughed roads leading to homes on the outskirts of the city. Nurses driving cars were often forced to abandon them at central locations and complete their rounds on foot. As late as yesterday 1t required five men to help one nurSe get her car out of snow drifts on West Porter street.
 These nurses have always found q way to get through and bring relief, and it is such per- sistency that has helped main- tain Waterbury's outstanding health record.

tIlries in the country held sa cred by Christians, Jews and Mos lens throughout the world.
 Eight major outbreaks have oc. cured since Great Britain, pledged to provide Jewish Nationa Home, took over the government of Palestine in 1918. These dis ttirbances have taken a toll esti. mated at more than 5000 deac and 5000 wounded. Today a me chanized British army of 20,00t troops and 5000 police is fighting a virtual war against Arab nation. alistS directed from exile in Beirut by the Multi of Jersualem, Ha. Amin Effendi el Husseini.
 In a last effort to bring peace tc the Holy Land, Great Britain has called a round table conference ir London. It is expected to meet some time before Christmas. The conference will be between repre- sentatives of the British govern ment, Palestine Arabs and Jews and the neighboring states of Iraq Transjordan, Saudi Arabia ano Yemen.
 The conference will break all precedents in that this is the first time other Arab countries have been called in officially to aid in a settlement for Palestine. In the past, however, the Arab kings oi Iraq, Transjordan and Saudi Ara bia have intervened several times behind the scenes in attempts to reach an Arab Jew compromise Their sympathies are known to be strongly with the Palestine Arabs They were invited to participate in the hope they will use their influ- ence to moderate the Palestine Arabs demands,
 May Impose Settlement
 If the conference breaks down or fails to reach an early agreement the British government will seek authority from the League of Ma tions and the United States to i'm pose its own settlement.
 The present reign of terrorism and bloodshed in Palestine is a direct legacy from the World War It is the inevitable sequel to two apparently irreconcilable pledges made by the British government tc Arabs and Jews to enlist their as. sistance in that conflict.
 Tn 1916 Britain promised the Arabs an independent state if they helped the Allies by revolting against Turkish rurle. With British arms and military aid the Arabs helped drive the Turks out ot Palestine. The promise of Arab in- dependence was fulfilled-with one vital exception. Palestine was not included among the new indepen- dent Arab states created after the World War. Arabs angrily con- plained that the original British promise had included the Holy Land Britain insisted it included all the Arab countries except Palestine. That dispute never has been settled. For 20 years it has ranked and today is one of the basic causes of the present reign of bloodshed in the Holy Land.
 The second pledge was made to the Jews in 1917 to enlist the sym pathies of world Jewry for tho Allied cause. It was given in the famous "Balfour Declaration" ir

 Police Refute If

l London, Dec. 6 - (UP) = Prince Paul, the Jugoslav Regent, left for home today escorted by a strong guard despite repeated denials at Scotland Yard that a plot to assas- sinate him had been discovered.
 Elaborate police precautions were in evidence at Victoria station, where the prince boarded a train for Dover at II a. m. Numerous special branch detectives were at the station and legation guards rode on the train. The Daily Express this morning had taken cogniZance of the plot reports emanating from the United Stats. It said that Scotland Yard operatives would meet the liner Queen Mary at Plymouth Wednesday morning to interview several passengers en route here from the United States who were suspected of plotting against mem- Der of European royal household"

 Princess Olga was remaining in London with their two sons who are in school. She planned to take them to Belgrade for Christmas. The Prince was bound for Belgrade by way of Paris.
 The Jugoslav legation denied that the princes departure had been hastened by the plot report and the United States Embassy here denied any knowledge of it.
 Scotland Yard officials ridiculed | the report and said Prince Paul had planned some time ago to leave London today.
 New York, Dec. 6-UP)-Police headquarters today denied reports that the alien squad had discovered plot to kill Prince Paul, Jugoslav Regent now visiting in London, and that the assassins were en route to England on the liner Queen Mary.
 Police were said to have trans mitted their information to the state department, which relayed it to Scotland Yard. Police denied having made any such report, and Thomas F.. Fitch, special agent of the state department here, refused to comment. The reports had it that the assassins were hired by Mace donian revolutionaries, the same faction that assassinated King Alex ander of Jugoslayia at Marseilles in 1884.
