 The Abetz incident and the arrest of two Parisian journalists at once started a vigorous attack in the Paris press. Most of those on the right back up the government when it demanded that. press discussion cease. There resulted one of the most remarkable combinations in French history-Lucien Sampaix of the Communist paper "Humanite" and Henri de Kerillis, a French deputy and editor of the right wing paper L'Epoque," joined hands in de- manding more light on the scandal
 Kerillis, in an editorialy, said all his life he had combatted Commun- ism, but it would be fatal mistake in this grave hour if Frenchmen left to the Communists alone the battle to secure the punishment of traitors to France. He said he had list of the pai iliamentarians, jour- nalists and socialites who had diner with Abetz.

Republicans Seeking
 New Job For Foster
Attempt Made to Gain Control of Purchasing Agents
 Duties-MOve Held Illegal, Expensive

Republican aldermen last night began move to create new city job for Charles c. Foster, who was dismissed as city purchasing agent last Saturday by Controller Martin J. Sweeney.
 Alderman George Kingston, ma jority leader, presented resolution calling for the establishment of a city department of purchases, with MT. Foster as its head. The power of selecting any necessary assistants and clerks would be given MT. Fos- ter. .--, .-
 By an 8-5 vote, on straight party lines, the resolution was referred to a committee, consisting of Alder men Kingston, Burton Walker and Edward Fitzgerald. They will report back Wednesday night, J2 .-
 Move Illegal
 Observers believe that the c. O.. P. move is illegal. Changes in the city charter by the Legislature pro- vide for a purchasing department after Jan. 1, 1940. But until that time Section 88 of the, charter is still effective, and that section pro- vides that no contracts shall be let or purchases made without the ex- press approval of the controller. The board of finance has already voted that the controller shall be purchasing agent.
 John c. Herbst. realtor. asked that a vote authorizing the sale of the American Ring Co. property be more specifically worded in regard to the boundaries of the land. The request was referred to committee.

UP-VALLEY TOWNS
 FLOODED BY RAIN
Cloudburst Results in Damage in Torrington;
 Waterbury Escapes :,

Rain of cloudburst proportions caused serious damage yesterday afternoon in the upper part of the Naugatuck Valley, Torrington and Thomaston were the communities most severely affected. -t :.
 Though Waterbury escaped with out a drop of raln,- the Naugatuck river swelled up quickly. Waters of the river swept against the banks as the heavy flow came down.
 In Torrington, .electriv power was shut off for almost two hours. In Thomaston, cellars of homes and factories were flooded. Throughout the whole area roads were washed out, railroad traffic tied up, bridges weakened, and streets and gutters were filled with roaring streams of water.
 The rainfall lasted for several hours, ending about o'clock. The Seth Thomas factory cellar in Thomaston was invaded by water. In the same. town. one bridge was washed out and another weakened 50 much that it was closed to traf- fic.

Ernie Dusek Invited
By Turner 10 Stop
Singh's S Streak
Hindu's Success on Mat
Makes Joe Forget Old
Wrestling Feud

Diplomatic relations have been
resumed between Hon. Joe Turner,
overload of the Arena bearing his
name, and Rudy Dusek, a delegate
at large from the environs of New
York, and all indications point to a
coup detat Thursday night at Grif-
fifth Stadium at the expense of
Nanjo Singh, the Hindu hurricane.
The hurricane was nothing more
than gentle breeze when his dun
colored coutenance first appeared
on the local mat scene, but it soon
succeeded in raising large blister
on the industry's smooth surface.
Cobra Hold Stopped 'em.
Singh lost some of 10 feature
matches, but not many, and what Mr..
Turner innocently thought would be
a good, old-fashioned build-up,
rapidly expanded into a one-sided
contest when Singh introduced his
infamous cobra hold.
In succession Hon. Turner threw
Bibber Mccoy, Jack Hader, Chief
Chewaki, Red Ryan, the Golden
Terror and regiment of other we'll
trained artisans at Singh, and he
tossed 'em right back into Hon. Tur-
ner's lap. The proprietor never
counted on such efficiency in an
employe. Nanjo bacame so popu-
lar the fans took to uprooting the
stands to show their appreciation
of his efforts and this damage to
his personal property finally moved
Turner to steps to check him.
Job Is up to Dusek.
Thus, Turner was obliged to call
on Ernie Dusek for an alliance in
the matter.
It's been a long time since they
had any traffic with one another,
but this was an emergency and Joe
needed help-plenty of help.
Rudy being a we'll armed man
they're the biggest in the business
looked the most suitable opponent,
so he got together with Joe, and
Thursday night they'll try to slip
the axis to Nanjo.

International LEAGUE
Race 3-Team Affair
Nearing Wire

By the Associated Press.
With only two weeks to 20 In
the most exciting pennant race the
International League has had since
1886, you can figure it a Steam
struggle for the championship and
a steam race for the four playoff
positions.
There's very little use trying to
argue that Buffalo, six games of
the pace, has a chance to COD the
title, or that any of the last three
clubs can break into the playoff
list.
There's no getting around the
fact, however, Rochester and Syra-
cuse have excellent chances to knock
of the Jersey City Giants, or that
Newark is likely to be the club that
settles the whole affair.
