10 QUE OTROS DICEN
Y 70 COMENTO
(Por Jose r. Samfeliz)

Estoy I'm poquito hastiado de
las miserias locales, y voy a bus
car temas para estas cuartillas,
desde un punto mas elevado, mo
raj y entertainments.
Veamos 10 que dicen de y des-
de Russia:
Ell II de Julio, segundo ami
versario de la lucha por la de-
mocracia y las libertades de la
naci6n espanola, en- toda la Re-
p1blica Soviet Sc celebraron ma
nifestaciones y veladas alusivas
a la fecha. La prensa Soviet no
Sc quedo a la r~etaguardia y de-
dic6 muchas Columns en- honor
de la heroica lucha que sostie-
nen los e~spanoles leales a su pa
tria y Gobierno, contra los fero-
ces fasciStas invasores. En- ell
diario. "Pravda", de Moscou, a.
parecio 10 que sigue: "Durante
estos dos amos, Espana Sc ha a.
cercado y adentrado en- los CO.
razones de todas las personals
sensibles del globo, y no es pre-
ciso decir que sobre TODD, en- los
de todos los ciudadanos de las
Repdblicas del Soviet.
Defendiendo la democracia de
su patria, ell pueblo espanol en-
la primera Inca de trincheras
de la lucha anti-fascista, estan
defendiendo con las armas en-
sus manos, la causa comun de la
Paz y ell interes vital de toda la
humanidad, contra la brutal a.
cometida de los enloquecidos
vandalos fascistas.
En- muchos de los articulos pu
blicados en- ese memorable dfa,
Sc hace gran honor al nombre
del General Jose Miaja.

LUTHERAN WOMEN
 HEAR MRS. LARSON
Purposes of Missionary Society Stressed in Sec-
 ond Quarterly Meeting

Assembled in the church vestry for the second quarterly meeting of the year, Wednesday evening, the Women's Missionary Society of Zion Evangelical Lutheran church had an opportunity to hear messages from Mrs. Hilmer Larson of Lynn, Mass, and Mrs. Leila T. Alexander of Waterbury.
 The latter, in charge of the Pearl Street Community House, gave a message on the need of a more common application of the princl- pie involved in the second great commandment, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as myself" between individuals and nations alike. She expressed the belief that inter-racial warfare and inter-racial misunder- standing would largely be eliminated If love would replace mistrust and hate. We love those whom we learn to know, said the speaker. Mrs. Alexander was introduced by Mrs. Herman Johnson.
 Mrs. Hilmer Larson, for seven years president of the New England Conference Women's Missionary Society, which just convened in Naugatuck last week, brought a greeting in which she stressed the purpose of the society and some of the aims it is seeking to accomplish. She mentioned the great work &C., complished in securing the Luth- eran Girls Home in New York City, and then went on to tell of the pres ent great project of the New Eng land regional division, namely, to improve the facilities at the Chill dren's Home in Avon, Mass, by enlarging the dining hall, providing a sun porch, putting in new heat ing system, and minor improve mentS.
 Mrs. Axel Forsell, president of the local society, presided and also gave a report on the Naugatuck conven- tion. Rev. E. Einar Kron, accom- panied by Miss Astrid Swanson, sang T Shall Not Pass This Way Again" by Effinger, as baritone solo. Mrs. Carl G. Carlson was elected to serve as financial secretary of the society. Plans were made to hold the next meeting in September.

ALLEGED RECKLESS AUTO DRIVER HELD
Pedestrian Seriously ln= jured in Accident-Medi=
 cal Testimony Today

A days continuance was given in city court today after additional testimony had been heard in the case of George Boinay, '45, of 12O Chamber street, charged with reckless driving. Judge Mascolo or dered the continuance in order that additional evidence might be pre- sented to him.
 Boinay was arrested December 23. 1887, after his car had struck a pedestrian, Michael DiFlorio, on Bank street. DiFlorio was severely injured.
 This morning Dr. A. A. Johnson testified that when DiFlorio was brought to his office after the &C., cident, he failed to cooperate" with him and appeared to have been drinking. The odor of liquor could be smelled from his breath, he said.
 Motor Patrolmen Joseph McCar- thy and James Wagner then took the stand for the state. Both said they smelled DiFlorio's breath at the Waterbury hospital and there was no odor of liquor.
 Hospital records were introduced by the state. and they made no mention of DiFlorio having been drunk or drinking.
 Judge Mascolo then ordered the continuance, asking that members of the hospital staff who examined DiFlorio be subpoenaed for tomor- row.

of the State Hotel, who was with Gwiazdowski in truck driven by the latter April 10. Miller IS charged with breaking and entering, the state charging that several hours after the accident on the Cheshire road he went to the office of Greco's Express, Gwiazodwski's employers, and stole $80.
 In finding issued few days ago. Deputy Coroner Walter w. Smyth held Gwiazdowski criminally re- sponsible for the death of Dimichuk. The latter was not found until sev- eral hours after he was struck. He was in a critical condition when found and died the next day of his injuries.
 According to authorities, Gwiaz- dowski failed to halt his truck after striking Dimichuk, but the impact caused motor trouble and the truck stopped some distance down the road. While it was parked, pas senger car driven by Hillman White, of Meadow street, ran into the rear end. Patrick Behan, 24, passenger in Whites car was fatally injured. Deputy Coroner Smyth held that White was not responsible, since the truck was parked on the high way, without lights.
