(Continued from Page D that they will go through with the appeals. All of the convicted men are non- -committal on the matter.
 Much time has been spent by law yers for the men in preparing the appeals. Most of them have been working for weeks perfecting them The evidence in the cast IS so bulky that the lawyers agree generally that the task of preparing them is one ot the biggest ever tackled by lawyers in Connecticut.
 The appeals will not be heard at the fall ter moi the Supreme court and most of the lawyers believe that they will not be reached until the spring term. Considerable time is ex- pected to be used in presenting the arguments to the Supreme Court justices.
 Attorney Dunn Preparing
 Atty. Martin J. Dunn, one of the men convicted, was observed carry ing l9 large books of transcribed evidence into the Superior Court building this morning. He took them to the court stenographer's office on the third floor of the building.
 This is taken as certain evidence that Atty. Dunn and his attorney have been engaged in preparing his appeal. It is also certain that former Mayor Hayes, ex-controller Daniel J. Leary, Thomas P. Kelly, former executive secretary, former Corpora ton Counsel Charles s. O'Connor, Atty. Henry Minor, John s. Johnson of New York, former Supt. of Streets Thomas J. Fleming and James T. Healey will appeal.
 Indications from New York are that George w. Kingsley and John w. Meany of that city are also cer- tain to appeal.
 The men named in the rumors concerning the non taking of ap- peals are Frank J. Santalucia ana Ralph Copetto. but their friends say that there is nothing in the rumors and that they are certain to appeal.

 various candidates presented by the party machines. It is well recogniz- ed that 1t is an almost hopeless task for the voter to make intelli- gent choices for such a large num- Der of offices. But in spite of this, even under our present wasteful and obsolete method of government, we should get something better than we have had in the past if each individual citizen will more highly prize his vote and do a little more choosing among the candi- dates for the principal offices in our City Government. A voter who blind ly pulls party lever is not doing his or her duty.
 We know that the thousands of supporters of the c. c. c. A. realize that there is better system of city government than the party system, which, from he very nature of things, means the spells system, as spells are needed to keep the party machines working for any length of time. That new system is coming for Waterbury and every other city. Every year more cities are joining the City Manager ranks as more and more groups of voters decide they want a modern. streamlined city administration. run for the benefit of all the people instead of in the interest of any political party. The nanuvers of the old parties during the last few weeks in their efforts to get candidates for their vote get ting ability of their appeal to dif- ferent factions in e party. instead of their fitness for office. has been one of the best arguments that could be made for a City Manager P T.. Charter, with its free nomina- tions by petition and the short bal. lot. so that the voter has to make careful choice of only few officials. Even some of our opponents in the late referendum acknowledge that a City Manager Charter would give us better government than we will ever ret under the party system and that P. R. is the fairest method of vot- ing yet devised.
 And so we say to the many men and women that voted "Yes" in the referendum. don't be discouraged with the job ahead of you tomorrow. Do the best you can. And don't be discouraged with the long rance out look. The City Manager-P. R. sys- tenn of city government is the peoples government and they will accept 1t just as soon as you make them acquainted with its advant- ages. If you can't win a referendum two years from now you can do the job in four years.

 Sharp Primary Battles
 Both Republicans and Democrats enter the election after sharp pri- mary battles. MT. Foster was non- mated after the Republican lead- ership refused to recognize Mayor Patrick M. Perriello. MT. Scully won the nomination by defeating Senator George T. Culhane in a brisk contest.
 Each party claims that the wounds of the primaries have been healed The Republicans, however. face the loss of many Italian votes, as well as those of many disliking the party leadership. The Democrats believe that most of Senator Culhane's sup- porters in the primary will he the regular ticket in the election. In- uepSHuenI DeHlOCTdtlC pHTty leuUeTS predict that they will deliver size- able bloc of votes to MT. Scully ana his running mates.
 Democrats Organized
 The Democratic campaign, aside from the usual prediction meet ings and rallies, has seen a tremen- dous amount of organization work. It is belieced thatt he scoep of this work and It's apparent success led to Town Chairman Mulvilles predic- ton of victory by huge margin.
 The Republicans have also done much organization work, but have been hampered by the absence of many former leaders and workers.
 The Socialists have attempted little broad-scalc organization, rec lying on their success last year when they swept the city without the aid of the canvassers, checkers or cars of which the major parties boasted.

 The British consulate sent sim liar letter to its nationals in Hol- land but the French consulate had not made any such suggestion to its.
 German Press Relents
 It appeared for the moment that the German press had relented in its complaint sthat Holland was abusing its neutrality by failing to resist the British blockade. The British Press also seemed less excit- ed over the possibility of German invasion of the low countries, al- though Churchill said last night that German troops were being crowded in vast numbers upon the frontiers of Holland and Belgium no one believes one word Hit- Ter and the Nazi party say and therefore we must regard the situa- tion as grave"
 He added: T shall not attempt to prophecy whether the frenzy of a cornered maniac will drive Hitler into the worst of all his crimes but I will say without doubt that the fate of Holland and, Belgium like that of Poland, Czechoslovakia and Austria will be decided by the vic- tory of the British Empire and the French republic"
 There was no let down In the Dutch vigilance in spite of the ap- parent improvement.
 People Leaving Homes
 At Arnheym, near the eastern frontier, many people temporarily left their homes yesterday after the Burgomaster announced that the railway bridge over the Rhine had been mined and was dangerous to approach because 1t might be blown up in case of emergency.
 The solidarity of all Dutch min- critics except the Communists was source of encouragement. The 25,000 Dutch Nazis have backed up the defense policy whole e-heartedly and have expelled a member who 10 days ago was arrested for smug- gling Dutch uniforms into Ger many for espionage agents.

CAPONE OUT, BUT

(Continued from Page D prison, in Los Angeles Harbor, where he served the last 10 months of his term. He may be en route to his white-walled castle in Miami Beach, Fla, or he may be in a hotel room in any of a dozen cit- les.
 Couldn't Be Recognized
 If he has left the prison, there wouldn't seem to be much chance of anyone recognizing him on the street. Partially paralyzed from paresis, crinkley skinned from loss of weight, totally bald and some times talking gibberish, Capone is bonded Scotch whiskey from rub- enemy number one, the man who took care of competition with ma chine guns.
 In 1881 the federal government government finally caught up with the perfumed Capone-he liked to abuse himself with Cologne-and put him on trial for income tax evasion. Nothing was said in court about the gang wars in which he participat- ed, nor was there any mention of his string of brothels, breweries, and loft buildings, where he made bonded Scoach whiskey from rub ping alcohol and hore liniment.
 Gov. Is Interested
 The government was interested only in his profits and what went with them. The writer happened tc cover that trial and never shall forget the morning when the prosecution started delving into Capone's personal expenditures George E. e. Johnson, then the federal district attorney, produced a haberdasher's bill and asked Ca. pone to identify 1t. He blushed anc said 1t was his. His ears turned c still deeper red when Johnson re. vealed that his silken union suits cost $20 each.
 And what color was this under. wear?" asked Johnson.
 Green" the mighty gangster re. piled. For the first time in hi checkered career @ courtroom au. dience laughed at Al Capone. The judge sentenced him to 10 year. in prison, fined him $50,000 ane assessed against him $7,692 in cour costs.
 Scareface Al went to Alcatrai where he got time off for good be. havior, prohibition was repealed, ant his lawyers spent their time digging up his fine. They paid 1t in insCall' ments, last of which they handed over only a few days ago. Capon, still is reputed to be a miliionair, several times over.

 Several of the nine have pleaded guilty since the indictments were returned, including brothers of the late r. Donald Coster-Philip Musica, president of the company, whose suicide last December led to the fed- eral Investigation.
 Scheduled for Last April
 The trial was originally scheduled to begin last April but has been post poned several times. MT. Phillips is represented by Attorney Lawrence L.. Lewis.

 Carry Great Burden
 "On the shoulders of the Catholic part of our nation, is therefore, laid the burden of tremendous and all- important task" Monsignor Corri- gan said. "They are the chosen keep CTS of the great and indispensable idea of order. This then is the pe- culiar achievement demanded by a Catholic University, of this Catholic University of America. It has to be not of America only, but for Amer ica too. It has to take care that the idea of order. as opposed to Chaos, be kept alive in every field of human life and human activity.
 We are not fettered in the slight est by the stupid idea that between sciences and faith might eventually arise as unsolvable contradiction. We know that such a contradiction can never exist. No attack of faith can ever be based on facts discover ed by science.
 Overrating Of Science
 "Materialism and the overrating of science is definitely on the decline, . Monsignor Corrigan added. But there are still some who believe science to be the only reliable Ap- proach to reality and who still hope, undaunted and tndisturbed by the manifest failure of this idea. to make science the basis of human life, social relations. education. even politics. To combat this unsound view, it is very desirable that Catho- lie students turn more and more to science"

 Godspeed c. U.
 "Gcdspeed c. U. in the attainment of It's noblest aims" MT. Roosevelt wrote.
 Perhaps I may be pardoned for mentioning personal and family interest in the Archdiocese of Bal timore, which latterly became the Archdiocese of Baltimore and Wash- ington, within whose bounds the university is situated. An earlier Archbishop of Baltimore, James Roosevelt Bayley, a nephew, by the way of Mother Seton, was the im- mediate predecessor of the Vener- able Cardinal Gibbons, whose friend- ship was very dear to me and whose memory is in benediction.
 Institutes and academies of learning are timeless and for all time. Their aims and purpose are as boundless as the mind of man can conceive. As generation follows generation new opportunities for usefulness. new obligations of duty, present themselves in amending continuity in the service of youth.

 Voting places in the 32 districts will be open from 6 a. m. to D.. m. Representatives of all the par ties will be on hand at each voting place. Extra police will be on duty but no trouble is expected.
 Issues Were Not Many
 The campaign issues have. been few. The Republican attack has been concentrated on the fact that Democratic city officials were in- volved ill the recent conspiracy trials, and MT. Scully has been cri- ticized for the fact that he held appointive office in the Hayes s ad- niinistration. The Democrats have countered by citing MT. Scully's high personal reputation and declaring that he Is by far the most capable of the candidates nominated by any party. The Socialists have sent barrage against both the major parties.
 The chairmen of the three parties, in prediction statements, predicted success for their tickets. Democratic Town Chairman Joseph F. Mulville declaring that sentiment for MT Scully is overwhelming, predicted a Democratic sweep by plurality of e,200.

 their convention support if ballot- ing proves the state favorites to be unable to win.
 McNutt As Compromise
 McNutt, who apparently has MT. Roosevelt's blessing for his own presidential campaign, fits the com- promise candidate picture frame fairly well. He is not enough Of 8 new dealer to antagonize party con- servatives. He appears to have MT. Roosevelts confidence. He is a good campaigner and he comes from good state.
 But to his candidacy Farley says mo-" and means 1t. The postmaster general who also is chairman Of the national and New York State Dem- ocratic committees, counts McNutt as @ political double crosser and has said as much publicly and pri- vately. Next to MT. Roosevelt, Far. ley Is the most influential figure in the Democratic organization. To nominate and elect candidate over his opposition would not be im- possible but 1t would be extremely hazardous. So long as MT. Roose- welt looks kindly on McNutt, the handsome man from Indiana can- not be scratched from the lo40 con- vention sweepstakes. But so long as Farley opposes him, McNutt must remain a long, long shot.
 Garner, Farley, Hull
 Garner, Farley and Hull are the men upon whom conservative Democrats could agree with mini- mum of reluctance. They are men of flawless party record. If MT. Roosevelt would get behind the nomination of any one of those three, the matter probably could be settled at the convention next year in a single ballot.
 There is substantial belief but no conclusive proof that MT. Roosevelt would refuse, at least to accept Garner on the theory that he is too conservative to perpetuate the New Deal. But the vice president today unquestionably is the symbol of conservative Democratic opposition to the New Deal wing of the party.
 Farley is a member of the Cath olic church. Ills supporters con- tend that Farley, who has traveled the country to the forks of the creeks pumping hands and making friends, would not be another Al Smith. Smith went campaigning for the presidency in 1928 against an uncommonly strong opponent, Herbert o. Hoover. once west of the Hudson River, Smith was al- most among strangers of whose en- vironment and problems he knew little. And prohibition cost him some votes With Farley, as with Garner, there is st.ne question whether Mir. Roosevelt would ap. prove the fiom.nat!cr
 New Dealers Named The friends O. IlS...... how- ever, will permit New Dealers to forget between now and June that Garner and Farley, more than any other men, contributed to Mir Roosevelt's nomination in 1882 There would be some snappy talk of ingratitude if he refused to ac. cept either of them.
 Hull is in somewhat different position and MT. Roosevelt scarcely could fail to support his secretary of state if the nomination went that way. But no organization is being done for Hull and 1t takes organ ization to win convention delegates Hull's best chance would be as a compromise candidate after the others had knocked themee 'p's out.

 Peace Hope Dying

belligerent nations for creating fears of an invasion.
 Peace Hope Dying
 De Geer held out little hope, however, that the Belgian peace appeal would succeed at pres- ent, although he said that If it fails the nations might later make an- other effort.
 Other countries, he indicated, might join in a future peace effort. Tn that connection, 1t was pointed out that the United States Minister, George A. Gordon, called on Queen Wilhelmina last night, but specula- ton on whether President Roosevelt was interesting himself in peace moves lacked confirmation.
 But as officials of Holland and Belgium sought to calm fears of their peoples, the clash between Soviet Russia and Finland became steadily more acute and the Fin- nish mission to Moscow was ordered home, breaking of negotiatins without the agreement which the Russians had sworn to achieve re- gardless of obstacles.
 Finnish Foreign Minister Elias Erkko announced the breaking off of negotiations at Helsingfors after the Finnish mission had waited vainly over the weekend for a renewal of contact with Josef Stalin and Pre- mier Viacheslav Molotov, who sought red bases on Finnish territory irl the Gulf of Finland and on the north Arctic coast west of Mur- mansk as well as a change in the frontier north of Leningrad.
 Angry Blasts For Films
 Instead of new proposals from the Kremlin, the Films got a series oi angry blasts from Soviet publica- tions which could speak only with government permission. The burden of these attacks was that the Soviet proposals were essential to the de- fense of Russia and of Finland as well. that the Soviets intended te achieve them and that Finland was threatening war against Russia the last charge an obvious totali- tartan maneuver to intensity pres. sure on Helsingfors in an effort tc force equalization.
 The result is likely to be a perioc of intensified strain, with Russian troop concentrations forcing tht Films to maintain mobilization ane with increased economic pressure by the Soviets who seek a quick solution while the rest of Europe is at war or threatened by war With that outlook in view, Erkko de. clared that Finland was prepared tt stand her own ground rather thar make concessions which might en. danger her independence.
 Soviets Try To Avoid War
 That the Soviets desired to avoiC war If possible appeared certain al a result of the break up of negotia. tjons, although the red press em. phasized that military action nigh be necessary If the Russian defen' sive goal could not otherwise hl lachieved. In Moscow, however, 1
