Naugatuck, May 25.-Deputy Judge George A. Kelly presided in borough court today for the first time since his appointment. He took the roster when the case of Joseph Marinaccio of 238 Scott street, Judge Thomas Weary, who had heard two previous cases thls morning, declining to ottlclate ln this case as he has occasionally been counsel for the accused.
 Judge Kelly continued the Mari naccio case for one month ana warned him to stay out of trouble in that period. Marinaccio pleaded guilty to a charge of intoxicatlon and Sergeant James Cuddy salo Marinaccio was drunk for the sec ond time within a week.
 The defendant said he has ulcers and that the welfare department has refused to help him. He recently lost his work on the WPA, he said. Judge Kelly promised to speak with Welfare Supt. Leo Scully about his case.
 Lawrence Mahon, GA, of TOT Rub ber avenue was found not guilty on z. charge of driving while under the influence of liquor, but was found guilty of violation of rules Of the read and fined $5 and costs of $10.26.
 Patrolman Wilfred Evon, who ar rested Mahon, indicated he first be- Eeved Mahon was under the mt1u- ence, but later was of the oplnlon that the actions which he assumed to be caused by liquor, were really caused by nervousness. Judge Weary immediately found Mahon not guilty on that charge.
 Mahon was in an accident on Sat- urday night, May 13, near the salem house on Rubber avenue, his car hitting a parked car.
 Says Lights Blinded
 He said he was travelling west and was blinded by the lights of an east-traveling auto which was far over on its left side of the road. He said he did not see the parked car until he was almost on 1t. :,
 Atty. Clarence I. Tolles, counsel for Mahon, said he did not believe there was any violation as the temporarily blinded driver had ouly two alternatives, to stay where he was and possibly be hit, or to swing right and hit the parked car Testimony by Patrolman Evon m. dicated however that the lights of the east car would not immediate ly strike the eyes of Mahon De- cause of the direction of the slight curve in the road there.

To National Gallery Of Art

Joseph E. Widener, PHILADELPHIA
art collector and sportsman, who
has been reported as promising to
transfer his noted collection of art
treasures to Washington, stopped of
for a short time here yesterday to
visit the National Gallery of Art,
under construction in the Mall.
With David Edward Finley, direc-
tor Of the gallery, Mr.. Widener in
spected the progress that has been
made on the building since he was
here last as member of the Board
Of Trustees. He appeared pleased
with what he saw.
Neither Mr.. Widener nor Mr..
Finley would comment on reports
which had been generally current
in New York and Philadelphia that
Mr.. Widener planned to present his
collection Of paintings, tapestries
and sculpture to the National Gal
lery. The building here is the gift
of the late Andrew w. Mellon,
former Secretary of the Treasury.
From Philadelphia came reports
that art lovers there were shocked
with prospects Of losing the collec-
ton, which is housed in Mr..
Widener's home. It had been hoped
that the treasures would be dis
played publicly there, where Mr..
Widener's father, the late Peter
A. B. Widener, made q fortune In

Producers Doubt
u. ). Milk Pact Here
Would Raise Prices
Formers Benefit Seen.
But at No More Cost
To Consumers

Belief that the re-estabushment
OF a Federal milk marketing agree
ment for the District would not
result in increasing consumer prices
In general, though it would increase
slightly prices paid farmers, was
expressed today by B. B. Derrick,
secretary-manager Of the Maryland
Virginia Producers Association.
The organization, representing
approximately 80 per cent of the
farmers shipping milk into the Dis
trict, asked Secretary of Agriculture
Wallace to hold a hearing on the
proposal to restore such an agree
ment, and Mr.. Derrick's statement
was in response to the announce
ment that such q hearing would be
held.
While the proposed agreement
ano order" Mr.. Derrick said, will
increase slightly the prices paid
farmers, We see no reason why there
should be any increase in prices
charged consumers for milk and
cream in connection with the pro-
posed Federal order, except in the
case of one or two dealers in the
suburbs.
The order, however, will require
all dealers in the Washington area
TO pay farmers the same price for
milk and cream purchased from
them and will put all dealers on an
equal basis as far as competition is
concerned"
A previous marketing agreement
was voided by Justice Oscar H
Luhring in District Court. but his
decision was overruled by the United
States Circuit Court of Appeals.
Since then, Mr.. Derrick pointed out,
the United States Supreme Court
has upheld the constitutionahty of
the Federal marketing programs in
| New York and Boston.
Mr.. Derrick said the association
also was asking Secretary Wallace
to establish pact under which milk
could be sold to the underprivileged
at price below the regular market.
Our objective" he added, lis to
obtain reasonable prices for our
farmers and reasonable costs to con-
sumerS, while at the same time
making available to the underprivi-
legged classes milk at prices which
they or relief officials can meet"
