THREE CHILDREN
 AGAIN EXPELLED

Deefield, Mass. April 28-(UP)- The three Johnson children, who defied the US. supreme court by refusing to salute the American flag, have been expelled from school again.
 William Johson, 12, and his sisters Dorothy, II, and Gloria, 2, were first expelled last October, but were allowed to return pending supreme court decision on the constitution ality of the state law requiring school pupils to salute the. flagS
 Las week the court upheld the law and yesterday the committee again expelled the children. Mem- Der of Jehovah's witnesses, they con- tend that they will pledge allegi- ance to only God.
 With their farmer-father, Will liam A. Johnson, the children will appear in Greenfield district court Monday to show cause why they should not be adjudged "habitual school offenders" and punished &C., cordingly.

"WiLd UncLes!"
Salvation Army Mobilizes Workers, Money to Curb Teaching of Crime Among Chinese Waifs
 Local Corps Makes Contribution.

Adjutant Hugo Wiberg of the local corps of The Salvation Army will present to Major A. Edgar Arkett of divisional headquarters next Thursday night in New Ha- ven a cheque representing the Waterbury Corps contribution to the Army's missionary work in China and Korea. A great part of this money has been given by the members of the local corps.
 The last number of the War Cry" just received by the Adjutant contains an interesting account of the work being done right now by the Salvation Army in Shanghai for orphaned children of that city.
 Parentless Urchins
 Because of the large increase of parentless urchins running the streets of Shanghai, China, the Salvation Army last June ap- preached the Municipal Council to see if anything could be done to improve the situation. Something was done; the result was the Boys Vocational Training Institute, which now shelters almost 100 boys picked of the streets.
 Backed by a number of public spirited men, negotiations were carried on with the Council during the early part of June. In the end the grounds and part of the build- ings of the Annoy Road Jail were turned over to the Salvation Army, to provide a home for the waifs on the streets.
 Huts were immediately erected on the compound, and part of the main buildings prepared for sleep ing quarters. Now the ninety-six boys of the camp receive not only shelter, but practical vocational training and academic education as well.
 The first batch was brought in by the municipal police. They had been guilty of all sorts of crimes petty, and not so petty. They had been hired by the so-called "yeh- hsu", or wild uncles", who were giving them thorough schooling in crime technique.
 International Relief
 The work of the camp is spon- sored and maintained by the h. ternational Relief Committee. This organization put at the disposal of the Salvation Army a capital fund of $5,000: They are further mak- ing monthly maintenance grant of $760.
 Thus, for about $7.60 per month, each boy in the Annoy Road insti- tuition becomes useful citizen in- stead of a criminal.
 The Army's purpose is to re- ceive boys, train them, reform them, inspire them to good citizen ship, and then send them out to earn a living. When a boy has graduated from any one trade, it is the purpose of the committee to find him employment. Having passed through, boy leaves va cancy for another.
 The Salvation Army is going to provide an "after-care" depart ment where the graduates will be followed up. On six days of the week every boy is given vocational training in one of the five trades

WAR INSURANCE
 ON OUR SHIPS

Washington, April 28-(UP)-The treasury and other federal agencies are drafting legislation for special government war-risk insurance to avert a tie-up of American ships and cargoes in case of war, it was learned today.
 The emergency program is being prepared with the assistance of Basil Harris, vice-president of the U. s. Lines who was called in by Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau, Jr. Morgenthau is un- official chairman of the administra- ton group charged with prepara- tion of plans to meet any shocks arising from European conflict.
 The threat of a tie-up of Amer ican shipping lies in the likelihood that private underwriters would suspend risk coverage in event of war. Because of the continued ten sion abroad, they have tripled and in some instances quadrupled their war risk rates.

More than 100 exhibits, all rec Ords of the Waterbury Trust com pany concerning bank accounts oi the accused in the Waterbury con- spiracy trial, were admitted as evil dence yesterday by Judge Ernest A 1nglis, after they had been identi- fled by states witness Albert A Johnson, head bookkeeper of the bank.
 The 100 new exhibits brought the total number admitted to the trial thus far to 361.
 Arguments Made
 Defense counsel argued at length against the admission of the major ity of the exhibits, but were unsuc- cessful in keeping out any of the exception of one which Johnson could not identify. Special Prose- cutor Hugh M. Alcorn said yes- terday that he would call witness to identify the exhibit.
 Included among the exhibits ad- mitted late yesterday were 15 treasurer's checks, drawn on the Waterbury Trust O., and payable to the bank, for total of $92,- 67087. All were signed by Olsen, and with the exception of one, were in the handwriting of Olsen.
 As the furry of bank records were piled into the evidence, Special Prosecutor Alcorn made no attempt to diyulge the purpose of the ex- nitif tie rnnnpptiOp
 He argued that there was a connection with the conspiracy, how ever, which would be connected" Defense attorneys claimed that the exhibits were being used merely to generate suspicion" and demand ed that Alcorn be called upon to show their relevancy.
 Judge Alcorn ruled that enough had been shown from which an inference could be drawn to admit the evidence.
 Deposit Slips
 Bank deposit slips and other items pertaining tot he accounts of the Connecticut Supply company, Fran cis Fruin, Philip Coppeto, the Abri- gador Digger, and Frank (Burns) Santalucia were admitted to the trial in the afternoon session.
 Most bitter arguments developed when defense counsel objected to the admission of the records of the Connecticut Supply company during 1884, when the late Francis Fruin was president. They contended that the records were inadmissible be- cause they dealt with the accounts
