WATERBURY TO BE KEY CITY IN WAR BOOM Manufacture of War Ma. terials to Be Centered
 Largely Here HARTFORD ALSO TO BE
 SCENE OF ACTIVITY French Mission May Visit This City; Report Heard
 in Washington

Business observers in Washington and New York today predicted that Water bury would be one of the key cities of the nation in the manufacture of war mater ials for the French and British. It was stated that Waterbury's brass manufac- turing plants and Hartford's aircraft factories would be the centers of the New Eng land business boom expected as the result of Congress- repeal of the arms embargo.
 Washington reports stated that a French mission would visit Water bury soon to place orders for large amounts of materials and supplies, especially shell castings and fuses. It was recalled that huge quantities of fuses for the French 75s were made in Waterbury during the World War. 'f'''e'-'
 Need Shipments
 The British and French are both reported to be in need of large ship me,ats of brass goods and products. Machinery and foundry products are also understood to be in great de- mand by the Allies.
 British representatives in this country have delayed making prep aratio.is for placing any order un- til after repeal of the arms embargo. but the French have been negoti- ating with c number of factories.
 Large Orders Here
 For the past two months, Water bury factories have been receiving exceptionally large orders from the U. s. government, as this govern ment rushed ahead with its national defense program. The Scovill Mfg. O., American Brass Go. and Chase Brass & Copper O., which have re- ceived most of the local orders from the government, are expected to re- ceive the bulk of British and French orders placed here.
 A business pickup which began here in mid-August was accelerated sharply when the European war broke out in September. Employ ment here has been climbing sharply, and several factories have been working at almost full capacity. The September employment gain was the largest Waterbury has had in single month in several years The upturn in employment continued through October, but official figures for that month are not yet available.

STATE APPEALS
 JUDGES DECISION
Judge Wynne Found Doc. tors, Nurse Not Guilty in
 Birth Control Cases

An appeal to the Supreme Court of Errors has been taken by State, Attorney William B. Fitzgerald ir the cases of Dr. Roger B. Nelson Dr. William A. Goodrich and Mrs Clara McTernan found not guilty in the Superior Court yesterday afternoon on charges of violating the state birth control law.
 The trio was arraigned before Judge Kenneth Wynne, who was specially assigned to hear the cases The court ruled that the state birth control act is unconstitutional in that 1t fails to make proper ex- captions for physicians.
 The accused were arraigned yes- terday on substituted informations which were filed yesterday afternoon by the state. Each entered a plea of not guilty and selected jury trials but through their counsel J Warren Upson reserved the right to attack the informations by means of demurrer.
 When the original informations were filed by the state last spring Upson attacked them by demurrer and Judge Wynne sustained the de- murrers holding the law unconsti- tutional.
 The substituted informations dif- fered little from the original and Judge Wynne announced after read ing them that he saw no reason for him to change his stand of last spring.
 In his memorandum of decision he asks at one point, "Is a doctor to be prosecuted as a criminal for doing something that is sound and right in the best tenets and tra- ditions of high calling dedicated to and devoted to health?"
 The accused in the case were ar- rested early this year following e raid on the Chase dispensary in which alleged contraceptive de- vices were confiscated.
 The Connecticut Birth Control league has an appeal pending in the supreme court from a ruling by Judge Frank P. McEvoy order ing the destruction of the alleged contraceptives.
 It is probable that the two ap- peals will be heard at the same time.

EMBARGO REPEAL
 RELEASES FORCES
Britain, France Can Put 5OO,OOO Workers Now
 in Armies

Paris, Nov. %(UP)-France fig ured out the implications of the United States arms embargo repeal act today and estimated that, aside from the war materials involved 1t had released 500,000 French and British men for the armies.
 It takes 1000 man-hours to build the fuselage of a fighting air. plane and 30,000 hours to build a big bombing plane, 1t was said.
 French enthusiasm was increased by the fact that, the American planes already in France have prov en their worth. French experts say that though the German Meesser- schmidts are faster, the American planes are more easily unanswered and have not lost Q single air com bat, though at times French pilots in them have been outnumbered two to one.
 The embargo vote in Congress was called the biggest International development since Russia, while negotiating with the Allies, con- cluded an agreement with Germany
 It was understood that the French and British governments would study together joint plan for pur- chases of war materials, and that 1t might be several weeks before this plan had been fully worked out.
 Meantime the Allies await eager- ly shipment of airplanes ordered be- fore the war.
 French industrial experts forecast that aside from actual war mater ials the Allies would buy much rough steel and other raw materials in the United States, and perhaps up to 26.000 motors for installation In Allied-build airplanes. Steel, the experts said, remains the prin- cipal sinew of war and the United States output equals that Of France, Britain. Germany, Russia and Italy combined.

CREW MUTINIED !
 AGAINST NAZIS

Copenhagen, Denmark, Nov. 1 = (UP)-A report was circulated today that the American crew of the steamship City of Flint mutinied against their German captors before 1t put into Haugesund, Norway, to be freed by the Norwegian govern ment.
 According to the report, a member of the freighter's crew was injured when the prize crew violently" put down a mutiny which he had tried to lead.
 The assumption was, if this re- port was correct, that 1t was because of an injured American that the captors vainly pleaded for permis- sion to visit Haugesund and then continue to German port.

 Berlin, November 4.-(UPl Germany ordered a protest to Norway today against what official quarters called Norway's exceptionally ur1- friendly act" in freeing the captured American freighter, City of Flint. A foreign office spokesman said that the Ger man charge d'affaires at Oslo had been instructed to make the protest verbally, and that 1t was believed he had already done so.
 The spokesman said that Nor. ways action to use the mildest ex. pression was unfair" in view of President Roosevelt's "apppeal" to Germany regarding treatment of the City of F1int's crew. The Mad prize crew aboard the ship, the spokesman said, acted in conformity with the Presidents appeal" ta trying to put sick American sailor ashore"
 Naxis Are fingered
 Though official spokesmen weru restrained in their comment, Nazis left no doubt of their anger over the ships release and the intern. ment of the prize crew.
 An authoritative informant said that pending the result of investi- gation 1t was impossible to say what Germany would demand of Norway but that 1t was taken for granted Germany would demand the release of the interned Maxi prize crew.
 The City of Flint incident waa now in the stage of diplomatic in. vestigation and examination, the in- dormant said, as to application oE international law. But he empha- sized that Germany would take the position that ..orway's action was at least most unfair, if not actually il- legal.
 This informant commented that President Roosevelt should perhaps have addressed request for cares full treatment of the City of Flint crew to Norway as well as Germany. since the Norwegians "saw it to rec ply as they did to Germany's hu- manitarian intentions" in enchor~ ing at Haugestnd.
 Ship 'Unseaworthy"
 The informant intimated that from the legal viewpoint Germany, might hold that ''illness" of meme Der of the ships crew rendered tt unseaworthy. I
 The spokesman said he did noA know that the City of F1int--which arrived at Bergen today--had left Haugesund.
 Nazi official quarters said that the internment of the prize crew. which sought to put . sick United States sailor ashore" was c viola@ tion of maritime rules, of tact, and of customary uSeage.
 First Explanation
 (This was the first ofiicial ex~ planation from Germany of the reas son why the Nazi prize crew sought to touch Haugesund and continue on to Germany. When the City ot Flint first went to Tromsoe. Ncrs way, the Germans said that it had no suitable charts so that it waa being taken to Russia. At Murs mansk. Russia, German and Russ sian authorities said that the shin, needed repairs.

Intense Research
Filled His Years.

His years as prefect of the insti-
tuition were full Of intense activity in
research and literature. Most Of his
written works were short pamphlets
on church history, but there was one
long work, three volumes, which re-
ceived high praise from Leo XIII.
An original research also permitted
him to write an exhaustive study on
st. Charles Borromeo which was
published on the third centenary OF
the latter's canonization. Father
Ratti also discovered the existence of
43 original letters Of Plus II, as well
as many touching on the wars OF
the King of Naples and the Popes.
It was while he was prefect of the
Ambrosiana Library that the future
Pope developed passion for mountain
climbing. The arrival of vacation time
was the signal for donning mountain
breeches and hob-nailed boots, taking
knapsack and alpenstock and going
far up among the peaks. He knew the
heights of Switzerland equally as we'll
as those Of Italy.
He was an active member of the
Italian Alpine Club and contributed
many pamphlets describing his wan
derings. Many of those pamphlets
have remained the authoritative word
on routes, paths and general informa-
ton for the Alpine climbers.
The height of his Alpine prowess
was reached when he discovered a new
path for the ascension Of Monte Rosa
one Of the most difficult climbs in the
Italian Alps. He alone knew this path

| soldiers struggling to get supplies tc

late said:
"The Vatican doesn't censor Fa-
ther Coughlin. Furthermore, it can
not interfere to prevent Father
Coughlins bishop from ordering him
to show his radio speeches before
they are delivered. Such an order to
a priest is within any bishops
rights
Vatican prelates and physicians
marveled as they watched the aged
pontiff rally from successive physical
ills through this year and a half of
precarious health. The medical men
especially were surprised at his stam-
ina as, despite their advice to rest
he kept in touch with world and
church affairs, especially the Spanish
and German situations and the cru
SADIE against Communism.
Spain, in fact, continued to be
one OF his chief worries. The install
lation of a Leftist government there
in February, 1896, just before his
health began to fail, accentuated the
problem and he was believed to have
had this in mind in May of that
year when he told the World Con-
gress of the Catholic Press that gov
ernments were encroaching on the
church's domain. He attacked Com
munlsm then in terms which moved
French and Russian party organiza-
tions to rejoinders.
Warned Against
LeftiSt Doctrines.
After Spain famed into civil war
in July recurrent tales of desecrated
churches, slain guardians of sancti-
fled property and restrictions upon
worship were brought to the Pope

ton, with Rome as the capital and
the House Of Savoy as the ruling
family.
Italy, moreover, paid 1,750,OO0 900
lire (about $87 7,500,000) to the Holy
See as compensation for spoliation
of papal territory in the 1860-70
period, when the Kingdoms unity
was being forged in the fires of war.
The "law of guarantees" had provid-
ed a larger sum for that purpose by
annual payments and interest, but
the Pope waived that point and his
generosity enhanced his popularity
in Italy.
The most important of the treaties
is the concordat, regulating the rela-
tions between church and state.
This document, of As articles, stipu-
lates that the religion of the Italian
state and nation shall be Catholi-
cism and that every question affect
ing it must be adjudged according to
the church canons.
The concordat also provides that
ecclesiastical and monastic institu-
tions have juridical personality, and
that their possessions are guaran-
teed by church law. Nomination of
Italian bishops is reserved to the
Pope, with, however, the stipulation
that he submit the names to civil
authorities lest there be political OBJ
jections to the nominees. Every
Italian bishop is obligated to take an
oath of fealty to the King, and
prayers for the monarch are said in
parish churches on every Sunday
and holy day of obligation.
Holy Days Made

The state, on its side, accepts holy
days as public holidays and permits

elementary and secondary schools.

it on Feb Is which was that "the
British government does not con-
slider it advisable to sponsor any
particular terms of settlement"
Butler, discussing the Libyan sit
uation, said the government did not
regard the dispatch of Italian troop
reinforcement5 as a breach of the
British-Italian agreement. although
1t brings the garrison TO the same
strength it was when the agreement
was signed. A reduction in the gar
rison which Italy agreed to at that

Butler told questioners that Lord
Perth had been informed that the
Italian government was sending
10000 more troops to Libya and
that the British government would
be notified of these movements in
accordance with the terms of the
agreement for an exchange of mill
tary information.
"The ambassador was informed
that the increase was to provide
for the security of Libya," Butler
said.
Arthur Henderson, laborite leader,
asked whether the government pro-
posed TO accept "as an excuse the
fact that these troops are neces-
sary in Libya when it was the
Italians who were threatening to
attack France and the French did
not make any statement that they
proposed TO attack Italy"
