Young Mems Catholic League Property Confiscated, Cardinal Badly Treated

"Innitzer breaches peace and means war!"
 Down with the political priesti"
 The cardinals personal attendant left the church and was showered with eggs and potatoes.
 The cardinal placed an old over- coat belongir, to the parish priest over the robes and left the church himself. A school teacher from a neighboring village showered him with eggs and potatoes and shout ed:
 Herr cardinal, your hands are sticky with the blood of Holzweber and Planetta" Others took up the shout, which referred to the car- dinal's failure to intercede for two Nazis condemned to death for the murder of Chancellor Engelbert Dollfuss in 1s3i.
 Energetic action by gendarmes probably saved the cardinal from being knocked down and beaten. The cardinals chauffeur was beaten d his clothes were torn when he tried to take the cardinals motor car tc the church door.

Hartford, Conn.,, July 5 - (UP) A bitter conservative-liberal split, similar to that which threw the Democratic party into turmoil and defeat in last falls elections, threat ened today to break up the Connecti cut Young Democratic organization.

Unless Japanese Premier, His Colleagues Join at Once, They Will Revolt ARMY OFFICERS ASK
 MILITARY ALLIANCE Britain, France Are Still After Russia; Defense
 of Danzig Active
(By The United Press)

Japan stirred up new wor- ries for the Eurpean security bloc today. Army leaders at Tokyo made plans for an eff fort to overthrow the cabinet of Baron Kiichiro Hiranuma unless the premier and his colleagues reconsider their refusal to join in an outright military alliance with Ger many and Italy.
 Previously, the cabinet, with ap-> proval of naval leaders, had decide4 that Japan could go on farther than moral and economic aid to the European totalitarian bloc in event of war unless Soviet Russia became involved. The decision was viewed as blow to the Nazi- Fascist desire to strengthn their combination by a clost working agreement with Japan, whose fleet would be a powerful factor against British and French territory in the Orient in cVeliL Ol q EuTOpcdu war.
 Plan Drastic Action
 Now the army leaders, most out- spoken in their desire to crush what they consider the communist" men- ace, are understood to be planning drastic action this month If their demands for a military alliance are not accepted.
 At the same time, Japanese dis pacthes to Hsinking reported fur ther fighting between Japanese and Soviet troops along the Manchukuo- Mongolian frontier, where Japanese said they had shot down 53 Russian airplanes and inflicted heavy losses on Soviet infantry.
 In London, there still was confl- dence that Britain and the Soviets would get together in an alliance bringing Moscow into the security front if only because that develop- ment is so necessary to success of London's plans that the British must go to great lengths to achieve 1t. It was obvious, however. that new difficulties had arisen as result in connection with the small nations whose independence would be guar anteed by Britain, Russia and France.
 Are at Deadlock
 After Britain agreed to include the X. small Baltic states against the ex- pressed desire of those governments. the London negotiators also proposed to include Holland and Switzerland. For the time being, Russia has baked at that proposal unless Turkey and

 On June % at Ziersdorf, demon- strators smashed windows of 8 priests home where the cardinal was spending the night. It was be- lieved that had not gendarme guard been present there would have been even more violence. During the night someone smashed the windows of the cardinals automobile, in the courtyard of the hotel where his chauffeur spent the night.
 The big demonstration took place Sunday at Koenigsbruenn. Ap- parently this town was selected be- cause the parish priest is 8 non- German. Cardinal Innitzer conduct cd mass at the church and preach ST non on peace. The church had been richly decorated with white and gold banners.
 During the service anti-clericals gathered before 1t, shouting:

Three-Family House Badly Gutted By Fire
Use of Fireworks, After Fourth of JuIy Said to Have Caused Blaze on Young Street-l3-Year.Old
 Boy R0uses Inmates of House

Tn the wake of Q relatively safe and sane fourth of July celebration flames swept and consumed the front of 6 three-family wooden apartment building at 58-58 Young Street early this morning, causing damages esti- mated by Fire Marshal Dennis Lahey at $5,000. The cause of the blaze was attributed to boys playing with fire- works, in complete disregard of re- peated warning of police and fire departments.
 Bremen fought the blaze for hours, arriving at the scene to meet a wall of flames. Two were in- jured; 6 youngster who discovered the blaze, and fireman who stepped on 0 nall.
 Boy Discovers Blaze
 The fire was discovered by Nich- olas Zollo, i3, who lives with his parents on the third floor of the dwelling. Awakened by heat and the cracking flames, the lad, a pupil of Woodrow Wilsta school, ran bare- foot to his fathers room and aroused him. The latter, Jerry zollo, quickly rushed about arous- ing the other occupants of the house, all of whom left the burning dwelling by the rear, the front being cut off by flames. The youngster, Nicholas, was burned about the feet.
 Occupants of House
 Occupants of the dwelling in- cluded MT. and Mrs. Joseph Caggi- ano, and one child, Joseph, Jr., on the first floor; MT. and Mrs. Aniello Giuditta, and six children, Nicholas,

BANDITS ESCAPE
 WITH RICH HAUL
Get $3,OOO From Service Bus Line EmplOye at
 Revere, Mass.

Revere, Mass, July 5.-(UP)-Si, bandits, led by man with sawed off shotgun, coWed the presiden and four employees of the Service Bus Line, Inc, in the company's of- fees today and escaped with holi- day receipts estimated at $3,000.
 The holdup occurred soon after President Alphonse Roberto and bookkeeper Robert Alcott had opened the office and begun to count the holiday-weekend receipts preparatory to banking them.
 Anthony Koloska, a mechanic at work in the garage adjoining the two-story office building in the re- sort city business district, said four men entered the building and asked If they could hire bus flor an out ing to Mills"
 T shouted upstairs to MT. Rober- to-" Koloska told police, "and he and Alcott came downstairs together"
 Drew Revolvers
 Then, according to police, the four men yanked revolvers from their pockets, each bandit holding two guns.
 They ordered Roberto, Alcott, Kol- oska, Nicholas Andini and Robert Trew, also mechanics, to the of- fees. AS the party started for the stairs, two more bandits entered, one of them carrying the shotgun.
 Led by the shotgun -toting ban dit, the party proceeded to the office, where their victims were forced to lie on the floor.
 The sixth bandit, who was un- armed, started to tie Roberto, but at nod from the leader desisted and scooped up the change,and bills on the cashiers desk.
 Worked Quietly
 Police said the bandits worked lei surely, and warned the victims not to move for 20 minutes.
 The six men apparently fled in an automobile which the victims heard roar away, but 1t was several min utes before Koloska gained courage enough to run for the telephone, only to find the wires had been cut. To call police, Koloska raced across

Another Grunwald' Is Asked By Polish People Story of That Bloody Battle, Five Centuries Ago, Is on the Lips of Every Polish Resident, as Climax
 Seems to Be Drawing Near
By EDWARD w. BEATTIE. JR. Limited Press Staff Correspondentl

 Warsaw, Poland, July 5.-(UP)-- Scrawled in chalk on a wall at the main entrance of the police foreign office are four words that resound today in the ears of millions of Poles: We want another Grun- waldv"
 No Pole reads the words or hears them spoken without remembering the story of the bloody battle of Grunwald near Tannenberg five centuries ago when the Polish armies, aided by the Lithuanians, crushed the order of German knights.
 Those words, say some enthusias- tic Poles, are the nations answer to the question whether Poland "can take 1t" in this years vital struggle with Nazi Germany over Danzig and the Polls corridor,
 They Hate Germany
 Two weeks of travel through the provinces, conversations with the broad-shouldered barge men etern- ally dredging mud from the River Vistula with long-handled baskets, interviews with the men who direct national policy in the cool halls of the foreign office and with casual cafe acquaintances have convinced me that hating Germany is now popular pursuit in Poland.
 From Marshal Edward Smigly- Rydz, inspector general of the army, down the government, officials fully recognize the German tactics of wearing down moral and economic by incessant pressure and violent attacks which keep millions of men under arms and the population under high ten- sion.
 And, they add, Poland gives the of surge of national ef- fort wiping out party and race dis unity and putting new life into a under-nourished eco- homie machine as a result of the threat from abroad. Admittedly. 1

FIRST PETITION
 FOR BINCO FILED
St. Thomas' Holy Name Society Sends It to City
 Clerk

The first petition to the board of aldermen asking 1t to take the nec- essary steps to authorize the playing of bingo in Waterbury was filed to- day with City Clerk John P. Fitz- maurice. The petition was circulated by St. Thomas Holy Name society, and was submitted by Edward J. Coughlin, secretary of the parish or ganization.
 There are 300 signatures on the petition filed today, which is about 2000 short of the total required by state law before the aldermen can taken any official action. The bingo legislation provides that the govern ing body of any town may authorize bingo games after receiving peti- ton signed by five per cent of those on the voting list.
 Others to Follow
 However, other Holy Name socie- ties, Catholic parish organizations and several fraternal groups have been circulating petitions, which will be submitted this week. The board of aldermen will meet again next Monday night, and Is expected to take the necessary steps for authori- zation at that time.
 The bingo law places supervision of the game under the police protec- ton in each town in the state, with the police having power to revoke permits for cause. Prizes are limited to merchandise not exceeding $250, which cannot be exchanged for cash. Permits can be issued by the police for one day or for the year, and must be renewed by Sept. of each year.

NEWS OF THE MOTORING WORLD
Novel Safety Precautions Taken Others Urged to Protect
School Chldren-D. c. Auto Show Scheduled

this year is at Riverside Stadium
Twenty-sixth and D streets NV
The skating arena will be inclosed
and rooted.
All makes and models of the 1910
cars will be exhibited, it is said
The show this year is two weeks
earlier than last year, and will fol-
low the conclusion of the New York
exhibit
If it equals, and it probably will,
if not surpass, the Gotham showing
1t will be the best ever.
For New York publicity this year
is both streamlined and high pow
cred. Here are some excerpts from
what already has been given out:
Expect great things!" is the
phrase that filters from the automo-
ollie manufacturing plants relative
to the 1910 output. Only a few
OF the new cars to be exhibited at
the 40th anniversary National Auto
mobile Show in Grand Central
Palace, New York, opening on Oc-
tober Is, have been announced as
yet; nevertheless it is possible to
predict in a general way what the
visitor may expect at this outstand-
ing motor event of the year, which
this season, celebrating four decades,
will be even more notable and
glamorous. There is no doubt that
styling again will be a dominant
note, for this is becoming a most
important factor in sales promotion.
Surprising beauty of line, form and
color and the advances in plastic
and metal finish are reported to
have attained new high in a large
proportion of the cars.
Fender grilles, among the newer
styling features to get attention
will be found on more models than
ever. There are indications that
more of them in the solid die cast
form will be employed, as this type
has increased in popularity stead
lily and is promised this year even
in certain of the lowest-priced cars.
Nearly all headlamps seem likely
to be recessed into tenders, leav-
ing nothing exposed save the lens
and the bevel around it. Stream
lining of bodies is to be further
extended, and low overall height
with low centers of gravity are cer-
tain to continue dominant. Better
vision will not be overlooked, how
ever. 1t is to be promoted by a
new type of safety glass which
is not only stronger and less likely
to shatter, especially in cold wealth
er, but is said to be superior in
clarity, color and freedom from dis
tortion of what is viewed through
it.
Forecasts, based in part on pre-
views, are that 1910 cars will in
corporate fewer mechanical changes
than usual, but the sum total Of
such changes is certain to be con-
siderable. Some models are en-
tirely new cars. although they in
clude well-tried features of de-
sign, with suitable differences in
the combinations used, sizes of
parts, types of materials and the

like. At least one new convert
to the 'wishbone" type OF independ-
ent front suspension is certain, and
there are likely to be many refine
ments in suspension and in steer
ing systems.
The popular and economical
overdrive will be more generally
available and will help to promote
comfort and to reduce engine wear
in high-speed driving. There is
promise of extended use of certain
forms OF hydraulic drives on some
makes, probably including the fluid
clutches, which help to gain smooth
acceleration and to reduce gear
shifting. The latter will be done by
underWheel shifters on nearly all
makes, or these improved shifting
devices, which have proved popular.

standard. With these shorter mo-
