New Bombers Rush Over English Channel for
 Flight Into France
POLES, FRENCH IN
 HAPPY MOOD TODAY
Germany, Italy Working on Spain Again; Far
 East Is BOthers0me

 Great Britain sent more than 100 powerful new bombers flying over conti- mental Europe today in another move to convince Adolf Hitler and the world that she means business in her preparations to resist future aggression.
 While the fast British war planes crossed the English Channel on an unprecedented training flight 10 France, still another British craft purchased in America-was att tempting spectacular flight from San Diego to England to demon- strate the vast range of modern bombers.
 The suddenly expanded spread of Britains new wings was an outward Illustration of the governments firmer stand against any Nazi move to solve the Danzig dispute with Poland by force. The stand was made clearer by Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain's statement in the House of Commons indicating but not saying so specifically that a Nazi putsch at the Free City as a preliminary to returning Danzig to the Reich would menace Poland,s Independence and would start c general war.
 Denounced Tn Berlin
 Chamberlain's statement was de. nounced in Berlin as proof that Britain was seeking to encircle the Reich to crush it and was giving Poland . blank check to draw the new European security front into war against Germany. But both the Poles and the French were high- ly pleased that the statement made 1t reasonably clear that Britain would aid Poland in resisting c putsch in Danzig.
 Obviously, the prime minister hoped that some move could soon be made toward a peaceful solu. ton of the dispute and 1t was un- derstood that the Polish government would be willing to talk about a joint German-Polish guarantee of the independence of Danzig, which would replace the present League of Nations administration. Thus the Free City might become an inde- pendent state under the protection of both It's big neighbors but pre-. sumably still within the Polish cus- toms union which is vital to both Poland and Danzig.
 No More Hitler Offers
 Such move, however, depends upon the willingness of both sides to negotiate and high Nazi sources have said privately that Hitler will make no more offers to Warsaw. Whether the Poles eventually will change their attitude that the next

several or the reports which deal with the expenses of Borgnaes in Waterbury, according to Miss Bar bo,ir, are missing. She said she had searched the office for them, but couldn't locate them. She ex- plained that during the past year the office had undergone altera- tons, and the records he'd been moved from place to place.
 Miss Harbour, who took the stand last Thursday at the start Of the deaense of George II. Kingsiey of Hhokensack, N. J., and John ". Meany of Teaneck, N. J., is expected to be on the stand all day, identify- ing records from the ofiice of the Kingsley firm.
 Another Employe Next
 iYhe will be followed to the stand by Raymond Clark, Q former Kings ley employe, now in the tax col- lector's ofilce. Kingsley and Meany will follow Clark, then will come William B. Murray who at the start of the trial was defendant, but who has been discharged by Judge Ernest A. 1nglis.
 Expert accountants will follow those three, and 1t Is understood that the Kingsley defense will cul- siinuate with the presentation of nu- rncrous character witnesses, whose identity b not known.
 Borgnaes Gone Since 1888
 Borgnaes has been missing since April, 1888, when the grand jury sought him as Q witness. It Is re- ported that he fled to Europe, and later his wife and family joined him. They cannot be located at their Hollis, L. l., home. The state claims that Porgnaes prepared false and misleading audit reports in pursuance of the alleged conspi- racy.
 As Miss Barbour read off the text of the various papers introduced into evidence, she mentioned the work of various accountants. , Suddenly Alcorn interrupted with the exclamation, And special serv- ices of Borgn; es."
 '"That's right" retorted Attorney Benjamin slade, appearing for the Kingsleys, "and the sheets are at- tAched to it."
 Searched For Tt
 Continuing with that particular group of papers, the defense courl- sel said to the witness, "I've got Q memo here for Enoch Borgnaes' report" He read off the content of the memo, the effect that Borgnaes had expended S7i8.25 and received reimbursement.

Alleged Mad Butcher Guilty Of One Murder
Lie Detector Convicts Frank Dolezal of Cleveland; But l2 Other Crimes Are Not Laid at His Door
 Up to Present Time
BY HENRY B. HENSON United Press Staff Correspondent

Cleveland, July 11-(UP)-The lit detector affirmed that Frank Dole. gal was guilty of one murder ant today the sheriff applied 1t to hin again, wanting 1t to accuse him oi l2 more.
 Dolezal is c short, barrel-chestec laborer suspected of being the mur. derer of Kingsbury Run who from 1884 to 1888 distributed the parts of l3 corpses around the city.
 Arrested last Wednesday and questioned almost continuously since, he was Induced to confess murdering Florence Sadwey Polillo but no amount of questioning would cause him to say what he did with her head. The rest of her body had been found in a rubbish pile. So last night the mechanical tentacles of the lie detector were strapped to him.
 "What did you do with that head2" asked Sheriff Martin l. O'Donnell.
 Where He Buried Head
 Dolezal demanded what head and was told what head. He then denied knowing anything about 1t and in the next breath denied his written confession of having killed Mrs Polillo Paul Beck, operating the machine, infc ned Dolezal that 1t indicated he was lying and he then reaffirmed the confession and he said he had buried the head in a swamp-like area near the Lake Erie waterfront.
 O'Donnell and his deputies took Dolezal out there so he could poinl out the exact spot and he pointed out Q paved highway. At the time he buried tre head, he said. WPA workers wee building the highwa? and he saw the place he buried II covered with e 25 foot i'll.
 He Was Telling Truth
 There seemed no possibility of re- covering the head and he was res turned to the East Cleveland police station where he repeated his ex. planation for the lie detector which affirmed that he was telling tho truth. oDonneil said he was satis- fled.
 Dolezai was questioned as to tn. details Of the Poliiio murder and CContinued on Page q

Moves in Congress to Restore Hourly Wage to For mer Levels, Are Now Meeting With Most
 Bitter Opposition
By MACK JOHNSON lIInifed Press Staff Correan0nder


 Washington, July ll--(UP)-Moves in Congress to restore WPA hourly wages to their former levels faced serious opposition today as the ad- ministration investigated the first disorder in nation wide relief strikes.
 Deputy WPA Commissioner How ard o. Hunter said Minnesota WPA officials are making e thorough in- quiry of the Minneapolis riot late yesterday in which @ policeman was beaten by relief strikers and later died of heart disease.
 The Minneapolis riot was the first outbreak of disorder. in the series of WPA strikes, in which 100000 work CTS are protesting substitution of se- curity wages for the prevailing wages paid prior to July 1. Under the new system, skilled men must work a minimum of l30 hours, in many in. stances twice as long as before, for the same pay formerly received.
 Two Bills Entered ,..
 Rep. Adolph Sabath, D., H., intro- duced a House bill to restore the higher hourly wage rates, and Sem ator James E. Murray, D., Mont. with eight co-sponsors, offered a similar Senate measure.
 But the congressional move to re- store the gold wage levels faced seri-

Attorney Murray
 Angry Al Story

A rimor that he had quit the Waterbury conspiracy trial was declared today by Attorney James D. c. Murray as "moti- vatcd by malice." He said he is firmly convinced of the inno- cence of his client, Mayor Frank Hayes, and has no iii- tention of leaving the case.
 Attorney Murray was not fin court Friday, having received permission from Judge Ernest A. Inglis to attend to some im- portant legal business In New York.
 The following statement was made by MT. Murray today:
 From what I have heard about the published front page report that I had quit the case, it seems to me that the rumor was started by someone moti- vated by malice. I've been with Frank Hayes from the start, and I'll be with him at the finish, because I'm firmly convinced that he's an innocent man."

 Last night the aldermen accepted an offer of $l2,500 by John c. Herbst for one part { the property. and an offer of $7,500 by the Waterbury Farrel Foundry and Machine Com uany for the remaining portion.
 Last August 20. Sylvia L. Baurer, broker, submitted on behalf of an unidentified client, an offer of s22,- 500 in cash for the factory property. The price would have been less five percent commission, of Sl,i2S, for Miss Baurer.

United Press Stan Correspondent) Washington, July ii.-(UP)-Pr |ident. RoaseYelt, and Philippine .Higt Cosspis issiofier Paul V. McNutt seem. cd to De moving toward an informa. alliance in the i940 contest for Dem- ocratic presidential nomination to- day. MT. Roosevelt is planning to name McNutt director of the new federal security administration and may announce 1t today. Revelation of that intention inystifled some of- flclals here who make politics their business. One explanation advanced by 6 shrewd politician was that MT. Roosevelt was reaching out for all the support possible in the forth. coming contest with the conservative Garner faction of the party over the i940 nomination
 McNutt, by continuing within the administration, would achieve what appears to be one of his major ob- jectives-maintenance of good rela. tons with the New Deal. He prob- ably is aware that any Democrat who has to fight the administrat ton for the nomination and then Is un- able to obtain MT. Roosevelt's sup- port in the campaign would have small chance of election.
 Commits Neither
 Informal alliance between MT. Roosevelt and McNutt would com- init neither to anything very definite and would not demonstrate that the president was determined upon a third term. But his minimum de- mand upon the 1940 convention doubtless would be nomination of a candidate acceptable to him. It is beginning to appear that McNutt Is determined to be in the category of those acceptable to MT. Roosevelt and that the president is content
