The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-04-28

therefore, if any of these sheets didn't contain items which includ- ed checks of the city of Waterbury which you claim are relevant to the case, those sheets would not have been of any value.
 Alcorn: No value-no, your honor.
 Crawford: Your honor can see from counsel's statements that he is building presumably MT. Browns testimony. Now, if he is, we are going to be confronted on cross- examination-following and check ing against MT. Browns testimony the items to which he referred on the records. Now, why should we be deluged with this avalanche of records which have no relevancy to that point. Why not have the sheets containing items that are pertinent, segregated from the oth- CTS? There is just as much sense as bringing all the records of the bank. We ought not have that kind of situation confronting us on ex- animation of MT. Brown.
 Alcorn: I think they can be marked as exhibits and MT. Brown will refer only-in his testimony only to the certain sheets in the exhibit as to which the accused may be connected.
 Judge: If you would offer those with only one page of items revelant to this case, of course, the only thing which could be marked as. exhibits could be that on page; and it seems

MRS. ROOSEVELT
 ON CONSCRIPTION

Worcester, Mass, April 28-CUP) Though she sees no need "as yet for conscription in the United States Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt feels very strongly that we should begin to think of owing some part of our lives to democracy"
 Possibly some young people may think of volunteering to give some part of their lives to work that will help democracy" she said in a radlo broadcast over a Worcester station last night,
 Later Mrs. Roosevelt, addressing 2,8O0 persons in Worcester Memorial auditorium, said policy of isolation was impossible.
 We might just as well face the re- ahty-that even if we are not at war but there is a war going on be- tween nations anywhere in the wrold, we are going to feel it mate- Aally in our standards of living" she said.
 Mrs. Roosevelt was to motor to Hyde Park today.

RUSSIAN FLYERS
 START ON TRIP

Mascow. April 28-(UP) = Two Russian fliers sped across the North Atlantic today attempting a non- stop, 4,600-mile flight from Moscow to New York. They encountered headwinds which cut their speed to slightly more than 140 miles an hour but reported that all was we'll aboard. At 5:45 a. m. (EST) they reported by radio that they were crossing the zero meridian, point almost halfway between the coast of Norway and Iceland, and about 150 miles south of the Arctic circle. They had travelled 1,182 miles from Moscow.
 The fliers, Brig. Gen. Vladimir Kokkinaki, pilot, and Maj. Mikhail Gordienko, navigator, carried mes sage of good will to the New York Worlds Fair, and a letter to Pres ident Roosevelt from the Russian government, the author of which was assumed to be President Mix hail I. Kalinin. Should they main- tain the 150-mile speed, they would arrive, in New York about 4 a. m. Saturday.

SCHOOL BUS HIT,
 DRIVER IS HURT


 Concord, Mass, April 8E(UP)- Injured perhaps fatally when fast freight train struck his loaded school bus, James H. Finnigan, 68, still was unconscious at a hospital today, but 16 grammar school pupils were nursing only minor injuries.
 The bus was struck by the train at Commonwealth avenue crossing yesterday and the vehicle toppled over on its side.
 The children broke windows and squirmed out of the bus. John Lor- ing, 10, crawled through Q broken partition into the drivers compart- ment and shut off the ignition, pos- sibly preventing fire.
 Witnesses said the bus had stopped for passenger train and then started up when the driver appar- ently failed to see freight train approaching from the opposite di- rection.

Albert Johnson questioned by AL

Albert Johnson questioned by AL corn:-
 o. I now show you this first bundle and ask you first what they are.
 A. These are called general proofs.
 o. What do you mean by gen. eral proofs?
 A. For the purpose of showing checks to be entered upon a pri- vate account in the general ledger; at least checks drawn on banks; :; and the other sides shows some checks coming into the bank from out-of-town banks.
 o. Are those sheets all a part of the records of the Waterbury Trust company?
 A. Yes, sir.
 (The bundle Is examined by de- fense counsel who are apparently amused)
 Alcorn: It's all right to laugh about it, but if the records hadn't been destroyed we wouldn't have had to resort to this.
 Healey: Very seriously I object to the introduction of such an enor- nous amount. It's comparable to moving the Congressional library up here and ask defense counsel to guess how many times the letter E appears. It is just mere buckshot and we have no way of knowing what they mean. Judge: Is there at least one item on each one of these sheets that you think is relevant to the case? Alcorn: Yes, sir.
 Judge: That is, there are no sheets except those which contain items which you think are relevant to this case.
 Alcorn: That is true.
 Healey: Each and every sheet.
 Tracing Checks Crawford: On the same principle, we ought to bring all the records for all the years of the banks ex- istence.
 Judge: As I understand it, the purpose of this is to permit the claimed tracing of cheeks which may have been shown on some of these deposit slips to the bank upon which those checks are drawn; and

 Gives Brown a Chance
 Court was adjourned at the early hour today to allow Brown oppor' tunity to segregate from 1,586 ex- change proofs from the Waterbury Trust Company, those which he will require to connect" the bank &C., counts of some of the accused, &C., cording to Alcorn.
 Johnson, on the stand for the fourth day today, identified at first Q single bundle of the general proof" sheets, which he said, con- tained notations of cheeks drawn and checks coming into the bank from out-of- town banks.
 The proposed exhibit, bulky and voluminous, contained 277 of the sheets.
 May I ask what they are for?" asked Attorney Murray.
 "The states accountant will con- meet them with the accounts of the accused" said Alcorn.
 General Laugh Took Place
 As the defense attorneys examin- ed the bulky object, general laughter pervaded the courtroom.
 "It's all right to laugh about 1t but If the records hadn't been de- stroyed we wouldn't have to resort to this" cried Alcorn.
 Defense attorneys were on their feet, objecting. Judge IngliS needed their request that the remark be stricken from the record.
 As the defense attorneys waded through the PIT sheets, Attorney Healey rose to his feet to state that there was no relevancy between the case and the mountain of evidence

 menacing tone, but that was suffi- cient to send shudder through all of Europe in view of past events.
 Poland, the Nazi Fuehrer likened to Czechoslovakia at time when that postwar republic was the ob- ject of German wrath and the crumbling pivot of the British French security system in Europe. Today Poland has a pledge of Brit ish and French aid in event she fights for her independence, and it was at the heart of that pldege that Hitler sent his warning shot against "ecirclement" of Germany.
 France Sees Grave Danger
 In France, official circles feared that Hitler's words raised grave dangers for the future in view of the admitted Nazi desire for return not only of Danzig-which Poland is willing to discuss-but of the Polish Corridor where the Nazi press recently has been building up the usual totalitarian charges of mis- treatment of Germans.
 In London, too, the denunciation of the German friendship treaty with Germany was viewed as "de- liant" and in contrast to other peaceful passages in the Hitler speech, especially his friendly ges- lures toward Britain. The Polish non-aggression treaty, scheduled to last until 1914, was negotiated by the late Marshal Joseph Pilsudski who was sa ditto ha vetold Hitler immediately after the Nazi rise to power that he was ready either to fight or sign an anti-war pact. Hit Ter signed.
 Alsace Another Puzzle
 Still another point that aroused concern in the western democratic capitals was Hitler's mention of Alsace, the province that Germany took from France in the Franco Prussian war but which was return ed to France after the World war. Tn effect, Hitler said that Germany,s renunciation of Alsace was "a volun- tary sacrifice for peace" This caused the French to wonder whether that sacrifice might be re- nounced if the general situation h

 Edward L. Dennis, Scotland, was nominated as judge of the juvenile court of Windham County and Frederick w. Huxford, Fairfield, as judge of the juvenile court of Fair field county.
 The governor made no decision concerning the insurance commis- sionership, now held by John C. Blackall, Hartford Democrat but was expected to decide on his nom- nation late in the day.
 Likewise, he withheld his direct appointment as state police com- missioner, position held by An thony J. Sunderland, Danbury.
 Saxon Term Four Years
 The term of Prof. Saxon would be for four years, beginning July l, at $10,000 and requires confirmation by the Senate. The term of Con- missioner Cox would be the same and involve the same salary and ratification.
 Those of Smith and Taylor must be approved by both House and Senate.
 Prof. Saxon, Yale fellow and member of the governing board of Yale Sheffield scientific school, was a compromise candidate, chosen after a disagreement over former State Senator Kenneth F. Kramer, Wethersfield, Assistant Adjutant General, and Col. Raymond F. Gates, in charges of the soldiers home at Noroton. Both are old-line Republicans.
 Saxon, if approved, will succeed Edward F. Hall, New Britain, who was appointed May 5, 1927 by For mer Gov. John H. Trumbull as the states first finance commissioner.
 The nominations were submitted today because of the deadline re- quiring gubernatorial selections to be submitted for approval on the legislative day nearest to, or on May 1.
 Smith, Republican, has served as chief lieutenant to Walcott, ir charge of widows aid, state aic and collection divisions of the busi. ness administration section of the welfare department.
 L0ughlin as Deputy
 It was reported he would appoin as his deputy, Eugene s. Loughlin Greenwich first selectman, as hi deputy. Loughlin was the choice O. the Samuel Pryor-J. Kenneth Brad. ley Republican faction for the com. missionership.
 Significance was attached to Sax on's nomination. He was director of research for the natoinal party during the Gov. Ali Landon presi- dential campaign. Inasmuch as a native-son undercover vice presi- dential boom has started for Gov. Baldwin Prof. Saxon was regarded as an invaluable aid toh is sup porters.

to make such 8 statement to the head of any foreign state but rather such statements should be made to the world in accord with the demand by President Wilson for abolition of secret diplomacy.
 If MT. Roosevelt thinks he is qualified to address such request to Germany or Italy of all nations we have the same right to ask what are the aims of American foreign policy and what are his intentions based on the case of Central and South America, for instance? MT Roosevelt would rightly refer to the Monroe Doctrine and decline to comply. We Germans support sirn- liar doctrine for Europe, above all for the interests of the greater Ger man Reich.
 MT. Roosevelt-Headso of great gov- ernments in this hour are literally responsible for the fate of humanity .. History will hold them account able. I hope your answer will make it possible for humanity to lose fear and regain security for many years to come.
 Herr Hitler-Mr. Roosevelt, I fully understand the vastness of your na- tion. The immense wealth of your country allows you to feel responsi- ble for the history of the whole world; for the history of all nations. I, sir, am placed in 8 much more modest and smaller sphere. You and I, MT. Roosevelt, came to power at the same time. And you had re- sources at your disposal which ex- celled ours a hundred times. I am sure that you have found it SO easy to solve all of your problems that you now turn to the world at large.
