 FACTS BY JUDGE
New Haven Defendant in Grand Jury Case Ob.
 tains Information

Judge Ernest A. Inglis today filed in the superior court the fact find. ing which was requested by Attor- ney George R. Crawford of New Haven in connection with the ap- peal to the supreme court Simon J Alderman from the refusal of Judge Inglis to open the grand jury minutes for inspection.
 Special Prosecutor Hugh M. AL corn objected strenuously to the ap- plication for the finding. but Judge Inglis said he had another course to follow. The finding rciterates the statements and reasons for re- fuSal to open the minutes which Judge Inglis gave in his original decision. He holds that the &C., cused have no right to inspect the minutes.
 Actual appeals were also filed to- day by George H. Kingsley, Will Ham B. Murray and John Meaney from the refusal of Judge Inglis to open the minutes. Notices of ap- peal were filed earlier in the week.
 Attorney John II. Cassidy yestcr- day inspected the records of the city and those Of his clients which were impounded by the jury. It was learned that Attorney Craw- ford has already inspected the rec ords which were tckcn from his client.

The First 100! Span of Life Gradual ly Extending-Five Years Added to Average Mans
 Xxi stence
 Since 1929.
The industrial policyholders of

The industrial policyholders of the Metropolitan Life Insurance company, who constitute a relia- ble cross-seetion of the wage earning populations of the United States and Canada, are living longer on the average than ever before in the history of the con- pany. They established new longevity record in 1937, and dur ing the flrst five months of 1888 experienced such favorable mor- tality that the current year seems almost certain to be the ninth consecutive year in which an im- provement in their life expectancy has been registered.
 Tn 1897 the average length of life at birth among the industrial pollcyholders reached the high record figure of 80.71 years, which represented gain of nearly five years since 1929 and a gain of 14.08 years since 19ll-1912.
 Pointing out that industrial policyholdcrs do not compose a specially favored economic or so- cial group, and that they are es- scntially urban residents, whose mortality is higher than that of rural dwellers, the statisticians of the insurance company declare that nevertheless the average length of life of these wage-earn- CTS and their families has almost caught Up with that of the gen. eral population" The advantage in the average length of life of the general population, as compared with the industrial policyholders, has diminished from 1-2 years in 1911 to only 1.12 years in 1885, according to the Statisticians. As the policyholders have added an- other half year to their life ex- pectancy since 1895. the belief IS expressed that with this contin- ued improvement we may expect to sec still closer convergencye of the expectation of life of this group Of workers towards the level of the general population"

$1OO,OOO Fortune Hangs
 On Parentage of Papoose
Court Will Decide Oscar Whitewing, Jr.'s Financial Status

By NEA Service
 Oscar Whitewlng, Jr., bright eyed Osage papoose of Hominy, Okla may be worth $l00000 or $50,000 or he may be broke.
 It all depends on whether the Osagc county court rules that Os- car. Jr.. was born to Mrs. Katie Lee Whitewing that stormy night of Dec. g, 1935, or that he was really a founding, placed at her side.
 The case to determine the heirs of Oscar Whitewing-expccted to be one of the most sensational courtroom dramas in the fiction like history of the wealthy Osage tribc-will come up in September. Whitewing. whose money came from a headright in oil land, died last November.
 Brothers and sisters of White wing will try to prove that his wife did not give birth to the child and that they are entitled to the in- heritance.
 Mrs. Whitewing asks that $5O,- 900 be given to the child and $5O,- 900 to her, as widow with h. dian blood. She will have to prove that she has Choctaw blood, else all the money will go to Oscar, Jr., or to Whitewing's family.
 The doctor in the case says that in his opinion Mrs. Whitewing did not give birth to a child. Dr. w. M. Gayman testified at the deposi- ton hearing that he examined her one night and returned days later to find the Indian baby in bed with her.
 So a court will have to decide just how wealthy Is Oscar White wing, Jr. Oscar, meanwhile, remains very unconcerned about 1t all--just as any good papoose should.

 Cooperation
 With Red Cross Vice-Chairman Feiser praising the American Dem tai Association for splendid coop eration,' Doctor Camalier declared:
 we know that whenever the Red Cross has needed help from members of the dental profession it has been given promptly. But under the plan we have worked out now, the Dentists of America will be prepared and equipped to serve disaster sufferers in the best possi. ble way.
 Organized dentistry Is indeed happy to have this new opportunity for service"

BRITISH.CERMAN
 PEACE IS SOUGHT
Chamberlain Sends Hitler Personal Message Seek
 ing to Cement Relations

London, July g - (U.P) Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain has sent Adolf Hitler personal mess age expressing the governments desire for improvement of British- German relations and urging him to be moderate in his policy toward Czechoslovakia, 1t was understood today.
 There seemed reason to believe that Chamberlain intimated that Britain and France were using their full influence with the Czechoslo- yak government to insure the best possible terms for the German min- ority in Czechosloyakia, and added that the British government would regard a peaceful settlement of the Czechosloyak problem as offering real hope for resumption of British German friendship talks.
 The result of developments in the last few days was that British-Ger- man relations, long strained, had taken a decided turn for the better.
 Nevertheless an authoritative source warned against what was called extreme optimism expressed in some quarters, and commented that of the many rumors circulating as to developments, 99 per cent were wrong.
 A responsible informant summed up the situation as follows:
 No harm has been done by recent talks and there is a fair likelihood that they may ultimately result in lasting improvement"
 But the same source said that CD a serious crisis might still boil up in Czcchoslovakia during August; and @ that there was still huge gap between the German minority de- mands and the concessions which the Czcchoslovak government was prepared to offer.
 Gcrmany's recent tone of modera- ton was regarded here as the most favorable factor in still tense situ- ation, the informant said.

 All day yesterday on an l1-mile front facing the Viver-Segorbe- Sag unto oad, Nationalist artillery laid down what correspondents at the front said was the heaviest bonn bardmen they had seen during the war.
 The Nationalists and LoyalistS were on mountain ridges and great pail of smoke lay over the Loyalist ridge as shells blasted 1t hour after hour. Peaks were obscrred.
 For once the Nationalist airplanes took secondary role and contented themselves largely with observing the Nationalist fire and giving range di- rections.
