 POLITICAL GAME
Persistent Attention Being Paid to Business Men
 of Nation
By LYLE C.|WILSON

Washington, June g. (UP)-The administration is seeking better relations with business today, espec- ially the shopkeepers, with a per- sistence which recalls the statement of Postmaster General James A. Farley that Roosevelt has his eye on 1940 as wei las the next man."
 The play for little business sup port is both direct and effective. It inevitably figures here in third term speculation.
 Other factors reportedly influenc- ing the administrations attitude to- ward business are the reports from the presidents fiscal and monetray advisory committee - the so called peaks and valleys" group, compos- ed of persons in and out of office. It is headed by Secretary of The Treasury Henry Morgenthau, Jr., and is meeting with increasing fre- quency. Informed persons say its recommendations are given serious consideration at the White House.
 What Report Covered
 Reports made by the committee covered such subjects as taxes, soc- ial security, labor-business relation ship and credit. It met again yes- terday and various means of tempt ing private capital into investment channels were discussed.
 Meanwhile, the House Ways and Means committee, considering a

BALD HEAD CLUB. TO HOLD SESSION.
Jolliest Club in America Is What Shiny Pates
 Say of Themselves

Canaan, Conn.,, June 3.-(UP).- Members of "the jolliest club in Am- erica" gathered here today to eat roast sheep and brag about their badness. All belonged to the Bald- Head Club of America, Inc, which was founded 27 years ago "as an exclusive society for mutual conso- lation, of which every member might make of his misfortune badge of distinction and a bond of fellow ship" Each year the society, which selected the bald-headed eagle for mascot, meets for day of fun, and to elect the "baldest of the bald" Defending baldster today was William M. Carpenter, retired Plain vile brass manufacturer, whose glittering pate won him top honors last year.
 Born 27 Years Ago
 Our club was born here 27 years ago." explained Assistant Secretary Irville A. May, one of the charter members, land as we have since wandered about the face of the earth and reach our maturity, we are returning to Canaan where we can at least enjoy some good milk and honey and we hope to stay here."
 May revealed the New York Worlds Fair had been considered for the convention site but wiser ones said that the brightness of the polished domes might overshadow other attractions, and maybe that would not do. Therefore we choose Canaan.

but had had no reply. Authorities here believed it would be impossible for the refugees to raise any such sums but they said some wealthy American Jews might raise at least part of the money.
 There was one other possible ave- nue of escape for the refugees. It was announced that President Juan Demosthenes Arosemena of Pana- ma had granted permission for two of them-Dr. Julius Lewith, vien- ma physician, and his wife-to en- ter Panama.
 Others aboard the ship quickly appealed to Panama for similar per- mission on the promise they later would go to the United States.
 It was reported that arrange ments had been completed to trans fer Lewith and his wife to Panama from any port into which the St. Louis enters before returning 10 Germany, as it hm been ordered to do by the Nazi government. Au- thosities did not explain why spe-

 All refugees said that if permit ted to enter Panama they had suf- ficient funds to keep them from be- coming public charges.

British Royalty Runs Into Feud In Edmonton
Two Leaders in That City Tried to Assume All Honors; Clash Was in Evidence While King and
 Queen Paid Visit
By WEBB MILLER
United Press Staff Correspondent,


 Aboard Royal Pilot Train, June 3. George and Queen Elizabeth headed into 522-mile trip through the loneliest part of western Canada today, after a tur- bulent stop at Edmonton marked by the open outbreak of a local poli- tical feud and a mauling at the hands of enthusiastic throngs.
 Ahead of them lay virtually un- inhabited prairies and only two brief stops, at Saskatoon and Melville, Saskatchewan province.
 Behind them lay, mountains and the scene of the first outbreak of political friction since their historic Canadian tour began two weeks ago.
 Feud Flares Up
 The feud between William Aber- hart, social credit premier of AL berta, and Lieut.. Gov. J. c. Bowen, person representative of the king for Alberta province, flared twice during the seven-hour stop of the royal entourage at Edmonton.
 The first, when Aberhart was booed upon his arrival at the rail- way station to meet the royal train, occurred beyond the sight of their majesties.
 The second, when Bowen enter tained the royal couple at tea with out inviting Aberhart, may have been noticed by their majesties but passed without a sign of recogni- tion on their part.
 Royalty Is Mauled
 The mauling occurred during an unscheduled visit to disabled World War veterans at University hospital The beds had been rolled to the front of the hospital. For the first time during the tour the crowds got out of hand. AS the king and queen started along the row of beds, thou sands stormed the grounds. The king and queen were jostled until

PUBLIC CLAMOR
 ON SEA DISASTER
Salvage Methods Under Criticism-Thetis in
 Other Accidents
Acme

London, June 3 (U.P0 - A public clamor started today for an investigation on salvage methods used on the sunken submarine The tis. The remark was heard fre- quently: Why don't we have a div ing bell like the United States in- stead of the Davis lung apparatus?
 People on the streets were asking one another why tugs had not been sent to try to tow the Thetis from the mud when she was first sighted, 18 feet of her stern protruding from the water.
 Another criticism was based on the fact that the British submarines are not equipped with telephone buoys, as are the United States sub marines. Formerly, British craft had telephone buoys but they were abandoned during the World War because they served as markers for the enemy, and they have never been reintroduced.
 The complaints about diving bells referred to the rescue chamber de- veloped by the United States navy, which was used last week to rescue B men from the submarine Squalus, sunk off Portsmouth, N. H. Although the United States submitted dia- grams of the rescue chamber 10 other countries, in the interest of humanity, no other government has ever built one.
 Take Form of Demands
 Discussions of the Thetis accident were taking the form of demands that any findings of the admiralty's court of inquiry be made public. Questions are expected to be asked about the accident as soon as par lament reasembles Monday and morning newspapers indicated the probable trend of the complaints.
 The Daily Express said: There must now be a reconsideration of the whole question of submarine sal- wage. Have we anything to learn from the rescue from the Squalus? Is the design of our vessels capable of improvement This time the public expects to be told what hap pened." .,

Only y36AutoA Accidents Here In Month Of May This Is Reduction of 45 Per Cent From May, 1938; Police Supt Roach Praises Work of Police
 Accident Bureau

Waterbury had only 36 automo- bile accidents last month a reduc- ton of 45 per cent from the figure for May, 1888, and a drop of 66 per cent from the figure for May, 1887, & monthly survey by the accident prevention bureau of the police de- partment showed today. The city had no fatal accidents, and only II accidents which caused personal in- juries.
 In a statement today. Police Superintendent William J. Roach praises the work of the accident bureau and the cooperation of the public in the campaign for greater safety in the city. The bureau is headed by Capt. William Duggan, Lieut.. Joseph McEvoy and Sergt. Charles McWeeney.
 Record Good So Far
 Thus far this year the city has achieved perhaps the greatest sus- tained safety record in its history. There have been three fatalities, but general accident totals have cut down sharply. Particularly notice able drops have been made in acci- dents involving pedestrians. This is hailed with satisfaction by police, since most of the city's auto fatal ities in recent years have had pe- destrians as their victims.
 Of last months 36 accidents, there were only four involving pe- destrians. There were 25 involving two or more automobiles, six in- collisions with fixed objects and one non-collision accident.
 Of the Il personal injury acci- dents, pedestrians were involved in four, collisions between cars ac- counted for six, and the non- collision mishap accounted for the remaining one.
 Statistics of Month
 Statistics compiled by Patrolman James Little of the Accident Pre- vention Bureau show that last total of 36 accidents com pares with 66 in May, 1888, and 98 in May, 1887.
 Supt. Roach issued the following statement today:
 "The Accident Prevention Bureau and Investigating Squad, through their scientific approach to the com- plex accident situation in Water bury, have succeeded in bringing the accident total down to a minimum figure, but for these units to con- tinue their fine work of protecting the lives, limbs and property of

NAVY DIVERS ARE BUSY WITH SUB
Expect to End Attaching Air Lines to Sunken
 Sub Today

Portsmouth, N. H., June 3.-(UP) Navy divers expected to finish the task of attaching air lines to the submarine Squalus, resting in mud 240 feet below the surface of the Atlantic off the Isles of Shoals, over the weekend.
 The most dangerous work in the salvage operations, that of tunnel ing beneath the 299-foot craft to at tach pontoon chains, probably will begin Monday or Tuesday. By pump ing out flooded compartments and attaching pontoons, the navy hopes to raise the Squalus to the surface in a series of dragging and lifting operations.
 The Squalus sank May g with a loss of s2k lives. Thirty-three crew members in the dry foreward com- partments were rescued.
 Three Divers Escape
 Three navy divers had narrow es- capes yesterday. Joe Sibitzky, the first diver to reach the SQualus af-. ter 1t sank, was pitched from the deck of the submarine by a tidal current and .fellsto the bottom. By expert maneuvering he was able to- keep his head above the level of his body Otherwise he would have been unable to control his air and might have perished.
 Two other divers, Roland Fielder and H. w. Ross, were blown" to the surface from depth of 90 feet when too much air accumulated ill their helmets. When the men bobbed to the surface, the air pressure was reduced and they were sent back to the 90-foot level for a slower ascent to avoid the dreaded bends"

 When It Sank FOUR ESCAPED, ONE THOUGHT DROWNED Undersea Ship Is Now Be. lieved to Have Turned Over on Its Back
BY JAN YINDRICH

United Press Staff Correspondent)
 Liverpool, England, June 3, = (UP) = Divers started a last desperate attempt today to save some at least of 96 dying men who remained in the ink-black hull of the Sub- marine Thetis, lying inert on the muddy bottom of Liver pool Bay. Hope had been abandoned for all aboard, 130 feet beneath the surface IA miles off Great OrmeS Head, on the North Wales coast, when at $40 p. m. (EDT) Friday, the 36 hours estimated as the limit of the Thetis's air supply had expired. Divers remained probing about the outside of the hull, few inches from the gasping men inside.
 Twenty minutes after the $50 deadline they had heard faint, faint tapping:
 Dot dot dot dash .. dot dot" :. and so on: we are still alive we are still alive"
 It was 1000 to chance, a mere refusal to concede defeat, but the admiralty doggedly re- fused to give up hope, and rescue efforts, which had been all but given up for mere salvage work, was intensified.
 101 Men Had Gone Down
 According to the latest correct ed admiralty report, 101 men had gone down in the Thetis: IA off cers, 48 men, 20 technicians, 2 civilians admiralty officials, two caterers, one pilot. One had drowned trying to escape through the escape hatch. Four had been saved. The fact that seven civil- ian officials were aboard was an- nounced only today. N
 There were few at the scene Of the tragedy who conceded any man aboard the barest chance. of life.
 But they refused to give up. As soon as divers reported the tappings. Rear Admiral B. c. Watson. direct ing rescue work, sent new crew of picked divers down to see if it was humanly possible to raise. the ships stern again so that hole could be burned through its plates and fresh air pumped in.
 In Tomb of Steel
 Since the $40 deadline those aboard the Thetis-double the nor- nal complement and thus using double the amount of air intended for the crew-had been immured in a tomb of steel. l30 feet down from the bay. The scene was made more tragic because today was a perfect English June day with bright sun glinting on tiny waves and cool izing breeze blowing over the water.

 Squabbles
Special to The Democrat)

State Capitol, Hartford, June 3. = The bill directed against the German-AmeriS can Bund, but so phrased that it would force the disso- lution of Catholic Boys Bri- gades and similar organiza- tions, is being re-drafted, and it's sponsors have hopes that the new text will be complet- ed in time to allow passage by the senate and house before ad- journment Wednesday. AS a result of disclosure that the wording of the bill would hurt many youth organizations which serve legiti- mate purposes, the bill has been re- committed to the military affairs committee.
 Caught In Time
 The measure had passed the sen- ate, and was awaiting action in the house yesterday when the provisions virtually ending Boys Brigades and such organizations were discovered. Deputy Attorney General Nicholas Rago, after studying the measure, ruled that its phraseology would compel the dissolution of youth or ganizAtions and probably specifically arii-Nazi groups.
 New Bill Alters Things
 Under the terms of the new bill to be introduced, all organizations which wish to have military train ing or drill with firearms or re- plicas of, firearms must secure per- mits from the state adjutant-general. Such permits would not be issued to groups such as the Bund, but would be granted to Boys Brigades and like organizations.
