Most average golfers have to battle
with slice. Slicing is largely due
to swinging the clubhead from the
outside. An inside-out arc is big
help. This calls for more body
turning than the average golfer
ever uses.
A firmer, more active left hand
also is a big help in handling a
slice. The left hand should keep
the clubhead in place at impact
but the left hand has usually
abandoned the Job well before i'm.

ARMISTICE ONLY BEFORESURRENDER
NatiOnalists D e III a Il d Marxists Must Give Up
 Activities

Burgos, Spain, March 21.-(UP).- , An authoritative source at the seat of the Nationalist government here told the United States today that there lis no possibility of an armistice unless it is prelude to the unconditional surrender of the International Marxists carrying on the Spanish civil war"
 The same source pointed out that the idea of an aImiStice implies suspension of operations to initiate negotiations, which procedure Ma tionalist Spain regards as complete ly inadmissible. He said Nationalist Spain lay down it's arms only when there is formal announcement of complete and unconditional sur- render by the government.
 Authoritative saurces also charac- terized as absurd a report that five unidentified emissaries, representing and unspecified section of the re- public, had crossed the Nationalist lines at Teruel.
 There have been cases of prison CTS claiming to have special and important missions and hoping thus to insinuate themselves into the confidence of the Nationalists. When they are assured they will not be executed or miStreated, they confess they are ithout authoriza- tion to negotiate.

 The three sisters spent Sunday quietly, attending services at the Albanian church and St. Johns Chrysotom Albanian Ort h o d K Church. Tkey were greeted by 50 cheering American-Albanians when they arrived from New York to Bos- ton.
 in brief interview they said that America is beautiful; that they haven't met any young men: that they didn't come here to meet men and that President Roosevelt gave them their biggest thrill.

TEXTBOOK PURGE
 URGED BY HURLEY
s e eds of Communism Creeping Into Schools,
 Mass. Gov. Claims

Boston. March 21-(UP)-A purge of school textbooks is needed to era dicate the seeds of communism where they bear the most fruit, ac- cording to Democratic Governor Charles F. Hurley.
 "The place to watch for Com- munism is in the American schools" :" he told the Holy Name society of Mt. Carmel church. East Boston, yesterday. "The children in these schools simply pick up textbook to learn. They do not read the name of the author, and conse- quently. these books must be watched.
 ITO offset Communism and up hold the faith of our country, the church, the schools and the people in the homes must work together"
 Warning that radicals are await ing an opportunity to gain control of the United States government, Hurley said the way to combat ra- dicalism was to crush the seed when it is planted"
 The governor praised the Boston school committee for denying the U. s. Agriculture Department the right to measure school children even to set standard garment sizes.
 "The Federal Bureau" Hurley said, apparently was trying to take over education. That also is a good thing to keep an eye on."
 The nation, he said, should hang it's head in shame if it bows to any requests from Moscow if we want everlasting peace we must keep our backs on Moscow"
 He added that another thing to watch out for is the signing of any treaties with Great Britain. We may come out on the short end the foreign powers want money and the international banker feels that this is a good time to loan money out at high rates '. the ammunition busi- ness will be the best customer ."

State Welfare Dept. Ex= poets to Exceed ApprO=
 priations By Million

Hartford, Conn.,, March 21-(UP) The states chances of completing the fiscal year with balanced bud get received serious setback to- day with the announcement the welfare department would require approximately $1,225,O0o over and above it's appropriations to care fo1 mounting relief cases.
 Clayton s. Squires, head of the state-aid division, said relief cases 'are going up fast and released latest completed totals, showing 12,- I'll cases, or 21,144 persons on re- lief as of Jan. 31.
 A tentative list for February dis closed 1076 new or reopened cases and an additional 1286 new or reop- ened cases were estimated for March.
 Recently Squires estimated to Bud get Director Benjamin Whitaker that an additional $1,000,000 would be necessary to meet relief require ments. The steadily increasing to- tas, however, he said today. would probably add another $225, ,000 "this fiscal year."
 Squires said he would inform Whitaker of the situation as soon as possible so as to allow time to make provisions for the emergency financial situat tion.

Grand Jury Commences Third Week of Its Probe
 Tomorrow
(NEA Radiophoto)

Waterbury's extraordinary grand jury will commence its third week of investigation into the city's off, ficial affairs tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock, in secret session at the county courthouse. Keen observers anticipate the subpoena of numer- ous local officials for appearance before the jury starting tomorrow.
 Officials taking part in the in- vestigation had not been seen at the grand jury room since Friday night when the jury completed it's second week of probing. Meanwhile armed guards have been on duty at the grand jury room, keeping 24-hour vigil over the records and books which have been impounded from the city and from private concerns.
 To date, 29 witnesses have been subpoenaed, 19 of these during the past week. Secrecy of operation, which has prevailed since the out set of the investigation, makes pre- dictions as to future activities al- most an impossibility.
 It has been indicated, however, that the coming week of sessions by the jury will bring more sensations than either of the past two weeks.

Injunction Sought to Re- gain Properties Seized

By WILLIAM H. LANDER United Press Staff COrreSpOndent)

Mexico City, March 21-(UP)-- Foreign oil companies announced today that they would start injunc- ton proceedings as the first move of their fight to regain $400,000,000 in oil properties seized by the gov- ernment. Diplomatic proceedings would be the second step.
 It was estimated that American business interests already had lost millions through the decree Sus- pending dealings in gold and foreign exchange issued coincident with the seizure order.
 Food boarding had started and prices Skyrocketed.
 American Ambassador JoSephus Daniels said that the oil companies were expected to exhaust every legal means of defending their property.
 What should be done after re- course to Mexican law is matter for the state department" he said, as regards American companies.
 Executives of the foreign oil com panies, announcing their injunction plan, said that their lawyers would decide the grounds to be cited and then file briefs as soon as possible It was believed they would plead that the appropriation law under which the seizure was affected-on

designations of Officials Mark Protest Against
 UItimatum Acceptance

KaunaS, Lithuania, March 2l - (UP) - Foreign Minister Stasys Lorzoraitis and Minister of Justice Stasys Silingas rendered their resignations today because of their dissatisfaction with the gov ernment's acceptance of Poland's ultimatum or restoration of diplo- matic relations.
 President Antanas Smetona re- jected the resignations and it was assumed that he was attempting to persuade the ministers to withdraw them.
 Far-reaching "kanges in the coun- try's political front, possibly involv- ing the resignation of Smetona himself, were forecast.
 It was understood that the gov ernment was considering whether to send a note to the great powers and the League of Nations citing Lithuanias legal claims to the Wilma area, which lay at the bottom of the 20 year dispute with Poland, and asserting that these claims had not been altered by the forced agree ment with Poland.
 All May Resign
 Various reports were that nearly every minister in the cabinet had offered his resignation or was about to do so, but there was no con- firmation of the reports.
 Undoubtedly the feeling through out the country was one of hu- initiation, particularly because the Polish ultimatum whether inten- ] tionally or unintentionally-expired on St. Josepl's day, the name day of the late Marshal Josef PilSudsk1 whom Lithuanians regard as the in- tigator of the long Polish-Lithuanjan arrangement, in that they hold him responsible for Poland's occu- patton of the Wilma territory.
 A statement of Col. Josef Heck, Polish foreign minister, that the ac- ceptance of Poland's ultimatum left neither victor nor vanquished, was

The first request that the corn- mittee will submit is one that fire men be allowed three days off a month. This is the system followed in the police department, and the representatives at the meeting were highly in favor of its adoption in the fire department. At present, the only time off that a fireman gets during the year is two weeks vaca- tion. The men have been taking every second Sunday off. but most of them do 24-hour duty the fol- lowing Sunday.
 The committee will also ask that firemen be relieved of traffic duty. At present, members of several en- zine companies must do traffic duty near schools several times day. This work, firemen feel, is in the province of the police department.
 Another recommendation to be made is that the all-night watch be eliminated. At present in several houses, the men alternate as watch men, with the watch being kept all night. The firemen will ask the board to change this rule and have the watch end at midnight.
 Requests will also be made for ad- ditional apparel and equipment for engine houses. Several other re- quests will be submitted by the com- mittee.
 The committee is headed by Thomas Dougherty, who has been elected chairman. It will submit its recommendations first to Chief Thomas Cavanaugh, and, after re- ceiving his approval, to the board of fire commissioners.
 Chairman Mccarthy has told fire men during visits to the engine houses that the new rules and reg ulations are meant only to bring about more efficiency. The board, he said, wants the men in the de- partment to be content, and will be glad to receive recommendations for changes. While he is chairman, he stated, every man in the depart ment will be treated fairly.

Republicans Seek For Can= didate--McLevy Among
 Those Mentioned
BY GEORGE K. MORRIS, ,JR. United Press Staff Correspondentl

 Hartford, March 21-As botk major political parties faced the fall campaign, the feeling prevailed today that Gov. Wilbur L. Cross prediction that the time when can didates and principles will be con- sidered before party allegiance was not far off, was about to be borne out.
 The truth of the prediction loom- ed particularly potent in Republican ranks. Democrats had Gov. Cross himself, with his vast personal fol- lowing in all groups. But this year found the Republicans at the spring of a gubernatorial campaign year with no idea as to who may bear their standard.
 Such a situation was unusual for the party. which generally had sev- eral outstanding prospects at least year ahead.
 There was talk this year of leav- ing the top place on the ticket va cant. Proponents of this course felt that the party would have much better chance of electing the rest of the ticket by not setting up a candidate against Gov. Cross. They argued that results of previous cleo
