Dies Investigators
Make New Effort
To Question PeIIey
Committee Also Decides
To Recall Fritz Kuhn,
Leader of Bund

In recess until tomorrow, the House
Committee on Un-American Activi-
ties planned new effort today to
get William Dudley Pelley, head of
the Silver Shirts, before 1t for ques-
tioning. Committee agents thus far
have been unable to land Mr.. Pelley
In person although testimony about
him and his organization has been
placed in the records of the hearings,
and the North Carolina crusader has
countered with damage suits against
the investigators.
The committee also has decided to
recall Fritz Kuhn, leader of the Ger
man-American Bund, whose last ap-
pearance was marked by near fisti-
cuffs with Representative Starnes,
Democrat, of Alabama, committee
member.
Communist Publisher Testifies.
Yesterday the committee heard
from a volatile little Russian-born
Communist publisher how he spread
the gospel of Stalinism through In
ternational Publishers, Interconti-
mental News Service and World
Tourist Service.
Frequently recommending to COM
mittee members that they become
more familiar with the Communist
Classics" the publisher, Alexander
Trachtenberg, said he printed ali
the writings of Joseph Stain and
that ne co-operated in an exchange
arrangement with one Soviet pub
fishing organization and 13 English
firms. His own company has been
financed for the last Is years, he
said, by retired millionaire manu-
facturer, A. A. Heller, to the sum of
$ll5,000.
Demand Has Dropped.
He admitted somewhat ruefully
that there has been little demand
recently for his early output of the
writings Of Trotzky, Bukharin and
otner Russians who have been
purged or expelled by the Soviet
government.
The news service, he explained,
provides material for about 40
papers in this country and Latin
America, while World Tourist serves
as a travel agency to encourage
trips to Russia.
Under questioning, the witness
gave ready approval to the German
Russian pact ION behalf of peace" "
insisting that it would be an
eventual comfort to Poland and
that Russian mobilization at present
is directed at Germany rather than
Poland.

Many legislators on both sides of
the controversy say this would
benefit Germany's enemies, mas
much as Great Britain's naval
strength would enable her and her
allies to obtain supplies which Ger
many would be unable to get.
The special session at which the
issue is to be fought out was called
by Mr.. Roosevelt yesterday, to begin
at noon next Thursday. At the
same time, the President sent tele-
grams to group of Democratic and
Republican leaders of both the
House and Senate, asking them to
come to the White House for an
informal conference Wednesday

The proclamation calling the ses-

 The governor and U. s. Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr., Republican, Massachusetts, are honorary chair men of the organizations promoting the ball. designed to raise funds for summer vacations for underprivilig- ed children.
 Stressing the worthy purpose of the ball, Saltonstall said he had been assured that prizes would be distributed legally.

 ISSUE FAVORED
Finance Committee Votes Favorably; Old School
 Issue Would Be Retired
(special to The Democrat


 State Capitol, Hartford, April 15- The finance committee of the Gen. eral Assembly has voted to make a favorable report on a bill allowing the City of Waterbury to issue $70,- COG. in funding bonds. The commit- tee report is expected to go to the senate for action early next week.
 The bond bill was introduced in the legislature by Senator J. How ard Roberts, of Thomaston, chair man of the finance committee, at the request of Republican Town Chairman J. Warren Upson of Wa terbury.
 Under tke terms of the measure, the city may issue $70,000 in bonds, with the money to be used to retire an old school district bond issue of $70,000. The school bonds may be called in at any time.
 The new bonds would sell at a lower rate of interest than the old ones, on which the city still pays interest. The new issue would be retired at the rate of $10,000 a year for seven years.
 At Waterbury day hearings, sev- eral persons spoke in favor of the bill, including MT. Upson, Claims Att torney Vincent Scully and Senator Edward P. Egan. Acceptance of the committees report and passage of the bill is expected.

PROGRESS SEEN
 INBOSTON STRIKE
Area Faces Fuelless Week. end {; Conference Resumes
 This Afternoon

Boston, April 15.-UP) Peace makers reported progress" early today after a 17-hour conference during which they sought to settle Boston's three-day fuel truck driv- ers' dispute.
 The session adjourned at 3:30 a. m. until 2 p. m.
 Some progress has been made toward a settlement" Raymond ". McNamara of the state arbitration board reported, land we have hopes of further progress when the con- ference resumes this afternoon"
 Meantime, 100000 Metropolitan Boston residents faced weekend of dwindling gasoline, coal and fuel oil supplies as 2,800 drivers re- mained idle in dispute called a lockout by their union and a strike by their employers.
 A further shortage was feared as result of the announcement that CIO seamen on 1894 coastwise tank CTS will strike Monday unless grant, ed wage increases of $5 to $20 a month and preferential hiring. How ever, dealers pointed out that fuel still could be brought into New England by rail.
 The Metropolitan Boston embargo resulted from the employers refusal to grant the demand of local 68 of AFLS International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Chauffeurs, Stable men and Helpers for, new contract expiring Dec. 31 instead of April l as have previous contracts.
 The peace conference was con- vened at the state house at 10:30 a. m. yesterday by the state arbi- tration board with negotiations for both the teamsters' union and he retail fuel institute, representing the employers. present.
 Apparently pessimistic about set clement, Governor Leverett Salton- stall and Police Commissioner Jo- seph F. Trinity cancelled trips to New York and Washington to be on hand for any emergency.
 q have asked both sides to keep their feet under the table until the situation has been ironed out" Sal- tonstall said. This means I have asked both to arbitrate and I hope they do so."
 Once before the union agreed to an arbitration proposal, but the em- ployers refused to concur.
 Several hundred gasoline stations in the affected area have closed be- cause of dry tanks. Some deliveries were made to the stations yester- day, but most major companies chose to keep their trucks garaged rather than run the risk of passing through picket lines.
 Coal and fuel oil was being de- livered only to hospitals, public in- stitutions, public utilities and private families who can produce doctors certificates showing that a real need exists. sss <

DEMOCRAT BOY FINDS BANKB00k
Taken Yesterday in Linden St. Hold-Up-FOund in
 Bank St. Hallway

z A bank book believed taken in the armed holdup yesterday on Lin- den street was recovered last night by a Waterbury Democrat newsboy, Joseph Chimelnicki, 16, Wilby High school student, in 8 hallway, at PA Bank street.
 The holdup yesterday of John Harmon, IT, of 912 West Main street, occurred at about 1 o'clock on Lin- den street while the youth was talk ing deposits of a local chain store to the bank.
 The Waterbury Democrat newsboy reported that the book he found late yesterday afternoon contained an envelope in which there were two deposit slips for a total of $71.90, the amount Harmon told police he was carrying when he was robbed. There was $6690 in cash Harmon told po- lice that the man, whose description he was unable to give, kept his hand in his pocket, leading to belief that he had a weapon. Then, after talk ing the bank book, the hold-up man ordered Harmon to walk down Lin- den street, without looking back"
 Joseph told his parents, MT. and Mrs. Joseph Chimelnicki, of 13 Penn berton street. about finding the bank book and checks when he completed his delivery of Waterbury Demo- crats last evening.
 The parents advised him to tell Peter Lynch, circulation manager of The Waterbury Democrat, about the matter when Joseph reported this morning to take over his early edi- tions of The Waterbury Democrat and make his accounting for the week.
 But Joseph forgot to bring the bank book with him and MT. Lynch sent him to his home to obtain the presumed hold-up clue which, at press time, was on its way to De- tective-Ljeutenant Matthew Balan- da, assigned to the hold-up case by Chief Inspector Joseph F. Stevens.

GERMAN PAPERS
 HIT ROOSEVELT

London, April 15--(UP)-~Ge German government inspired publications led a blast of totalitarian denuncia- tion of President Roosevelt's Pan- American speech today and those of Great Britain and France were en- thusiastic in their praise.
 Such phrases as war monger," i" dripping with pharisaical hypocri- sy," "balderdash," foolish" "lust for power" shameless coarseness" and sfiendish arts of agitation were used by Nazi publications to criticize the president, his speech and his poli- cies.
 Italian comment was somewhat milder. Newspapers called the pres ident "War Mongerp and "Belli- cose."
 In London and Paris the speech was praised. because it was taken as evidence that in 6 European war the United States, however 1t might perserve Its isolation physi- cally, would give It's moral support to the anti-aRressinn nsticns.

LYDIA PINKHAM
 co. IN DISPUTE
Men Heirs Win Fight for Control of Lucrative
 Medicine Firm

Boston, April 15 - (U.P) - The men heirs claimed partial victory today in their state supreme court battle with the women heirs for control of the lucrative Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Company of Lynn. !
 Acting in the suit brought by three grandsons of Lydia Pinkham against 81-year-old Mrs. Caroline P. Cove, only daughter of Lydia, and her spinster daughter, Miss Lydia P. Cove. the court yesterday:
 1. Restrained the Goves from trying to control the policy of the company except by their votes as di- rectors.
 2. Restrained the Goves from in- terferring with the management of the company by President Arthur Pinkham, one of three grandsons.
 3. Ordered the Goves to pay back to the company $15,770 interest on loans made by themselves. GA mas ter contended that the Goves as treasurer and assistant treasurer of the company refused to pay off the loans, instead collecting per cent interest on their own money).
 4. Forbade the GoveS from mak- ing further loans except by vote of the directors.
 5. Ordered the Goves to pay back to the company $20,000 ex- pended for advertising over the au- thorized amount.
 At the same time, the court dis missed the plea of the Pinkham grandsons to force the Goves to pay back their salaries plus $248, 900 ex- pended under their direction for ad- vertising. The court also held that the Goves do not have to attend stockholders meetings.
 It was the refusal of Mrs. Cove and her daughter to attend stock holders meetings that brought a crisis in the feud, since each fac- ton holds 50 per cent of the stock and neither could proceed with pro- jected expenditures without the con- sent of the other.
 This failure to agree on company policies has cut drastically the com pany's former $2,000, ,000-a- year gross sales. Chief point of dispute was over advertising, the Goves wanting to spend 80 per cent of gross sales for old-fashioned testimonial adver- tising in periodicals, on car cards and in newspapers, while the Pink hams wanted to spend less money and concentrate on newspapers. {

those attending the hearing was strongly against the project, and there was a loud cheer when. after calling for a standing vote of those for and against, Alderman Burton Walker, chairman of the hearing announced that "an overwhelming majority" was against the proposal
 50 For Plan
 Though no official tally was taken it appeared to observers that about 50 of the audience expressed them- selves in favor of the plan and about $50 or 400 declared against it. The remainder of the audience did not express any opinion.
 Long after the hearing was over, little knots of debaters clustered about the high school corridors, arg uify the pros and cons of the need for a housing project in Waterbury, The opposition was led by a real estate dealer, George B. Horan, of 115 Randolph avenue, while the principal spokesmen for the. plan were two members of the Waterbury Housing Authority William M. Har- ris, chairman, and John J. Driscoll MT. Driscoll is also executive secre- tary of the Waterbury Brass Work CTS Union.
 Claim Far-Fetched
 a6r. Horan declared that the housing authority,s claim of 10000 sub-standard dwellings in Waterbury was far-fetched. He is not op- posed to low-cost housing, he said, but believes that the present plan would benefit only a few residents at the expense of large majority of others.
 ''The solution to the problem '' said MT. Horan, "is to use Federal Housing money to bring property up ference in Waterbury at which the city's legislative program for 1887 was discussed, and at which check

MINERS PLAN TO
 REJECT OFFER
Coal Shortage Grows Acute; Vote Scheduled
 to Be Taken Today

New York, April 15.-(UP)-The United Mine Workers of America was expected to reject today what Appalachian soft coal producers said was their final offer for settling a dispute that has closed 4,000 mines, idled 340,0OO miners and caused an acutely growing coal shortage.
 John L. Lewis, president of the union, already had rejected the of- fer and had lfet no doubt that the union would do the same when it votes at 10 a. m. He said the op- orators plan to grant the union exclusive bargaining rights but deny it a closed shop, and to retain the penalty clauses in local working agreements, was totally made quate."
 Charles O'Neill, spokesman for the operators negotiating sub-commit- tee, said rejection would hope lessly deadlock" the joint confer ence and that it might "break up at any minute" The operators group went back to today'S con- ference, however, and O'Neill said they would discuss our plan for settlement"
 A breakdown of the conference would immediately raise the threat of paralysis and conflict in every coal field of the country. The ne- gotiators were receiving protests and warnings from municipalities and industries where coal shortages al- ready had become serious.
 The 340000 miners involved have been idle since April l, when their two-year agreement providing a 35- hour week and a basic daily wage of $6 in the north and $5.60 in the south, expired. The operators call- ed the stoppage strike, the union called 1t a lockout.
 There are another 30,000 soft coal miners in outlying districts, except Alabama, who have continued work

FOREIGN POLICY
 BATTLE IS SEEN
Line Sharply Drawn on Extent of U. s. Partici-
 patton in War
BY LYLE c. WILSON United Press Staff Correspondent

(Unltc0 freSS StaH COrrcSpOHuent)
 Washington, April IS -(UP)- President Roosevent hoisted storm signals today for an epic conflict over foreign policy.
 Battle lines formed in and out of congress over the extent to which Americas moral and econ- omic forces should be employed to avoid a war in Europe, and, that failing, in the war which ensues.
 Already an increasing crossfire cut sharply across party political align ments.
 The outline of the administrations foreign policy was firmly estab- lished with the parallel declarations yesterday of the president and Sec retary of State Cordell Hull before the governing board of the Pan- American Union. MT. Roosevelt and his cabinet minister for foreign af- fairs made plain that: l. Force will be used to repel any forceful threats to the western hem- isphere. U s. economic aid is avail able to Latin-American nations ii needed to meet dictatorial chal- lenges on that front.
 9. The United States takes the lead in mobilizing the official sym pathies of western hemisphere na- tions against any European nation which resorts to war fdf purposes of settlement of controversy or pure conquest.
 3 In event war comes the United States will not stand quietly on the sidelines but can be expected to en- ploy methods short of war" to make its influence felt.
 Defenders of the Roosevelt pro-
