Conspiracy Case Here May
 Reach U. s. Supreme Court Interesting Parallel to Famous Scottsboro Trial Linked With Speculation Current in Legal Cir cles-Marked Subpoenas May Become Issue.

Trivial as the situation seemed to be, and with a partial victory for special prosecutor Hugh M. Alcorn offset by the fact that one of the state subpoenas was ordered marked for exhibit, it is now within the realm of speculation that a new trial could be ordered, should the Wa terbury conspiracy cases ever get as far as the United States Supreme Court.
 Similar Cases?
 That rather important and illum- mating fact was brought to light yesterday afternoon in Superior Court in conversation which 8 Democrat reporter had with one of the many lawyers attending the trial. Known to be a close student of federal law, he stated plainly that the cases on trial could reach the same ultimate result as the famous Scottsboro case, defended by the famous criminal attorney, Clarence Darrow, now deceased, insofar as the ordering of a new trial is con- cerned.
 Briefly, the situation locally is this: Attorney Patrick Healey, coun- sel for Mayor Frank Hayes, and five others, objected very strenuously to the manner in which state sub-

 used as a penalty on those in dis tress at this time. The weak must not suffer because of the heartless abandonment of their protection by political masters now in power,
 Cannot Shirk Duty
 "On the other hand, the minority cannot shirk its duty to the coun- try which it senses as a result of the universal demand for an in- vestigation and correction of the acknowledged abuses and corruption in relief administration.
 The Republicans advocated an ap- propriation sufficient only to last until April T to permit time for an investigation. They promised to of fer an amendment to this effect.
 As long range policy they ad- vocated ultimate substitution of "a system of grants-in-aid to the states along well recognized principles with proper contribution by each state."

 Million May Go JobIess
 The Democratic report conceded that under the proposed $150, 100000 cut, 100000 WPA workers must be discharged in February and 100000 by June - in addition to the lesser cuts contemplated by MT. Roosevelt in asking 5.000.000.
 Relief rolls now stand at approxi. mately S,000.000 persons. In recon. mending appropriation of S875, ,000,- 900. Mir. Roosevelt explained that sum would provide WPA work for S,000,000 persons during February and March, with gradual reductions to 2,700,000 by the end of the fiscal year on June 30.
 The committee figured that with the S726, 6,000,000 fund, the rolls would be cut to 100000 by June.

poenaS issued over the signature of MT. Alcorn are marked, contending that such subpoenas directing witt nesses to the third floor" of the Superior Court building were pred judicial to the rights of the defen- dants. To back up his contention, MT. Healey quoted part of an Illi- nois Supreme Court decision in the case of Cairns vs Sampsell which reads as follows:
 Process of Subpoena was
 never intended to compel wit
 nesses to appear and be exam
 ined touching their knowledge
 of matters in litigation, either
 at the office of a party or of
 counsel. If such process was
 used, it was an abuse of priv
 ilege, and the guilty party
 might be proceeded against as
 for a contempt of court"
 Wins Point
 In conclusion, MT Healey asked that MT. Alcorn be warned by the court relative to the issuing of sub poenas in that manner, but the court, after examining one of the state papers denied the request of MT. Healey. The latter might have asked a contempt of court ruling had there been Connecticut law or decisions to back up such procedure such as there is in the state of Illinois. Judge Inglis, did, however, allow the state subpoena to be marked as an exhibit over the ob- lection of MT. Alcorn, the exhibit to relate, of course, only to the motion of MT. Healey relative to state sub- poenas and not to any other part of the conspiracy cases. Also, MT. Healey asked for and was granted, the benefit of an exception.
 In the event of conviction, the current Waterbury conspiracy cas- es could be appealed to the Connec- ticut Supreme Court and then to the United States Supreme court with the possibility that such a seemingly trivial thing as the word- ing of subpoena, causing an en- tirely new trial, on the claim that such state subpoenas are predju- dicial to the constitutional rights of the accused and also read: "any witness failing to obey is subject tc fine and imprisonment" Though MT. Alcorn pointed out the direc- tions of witnesses to the third floor are not, technically listed over his signature, but appear on the back of the paper, Judge Healey also contended with witnesses are given oral instruction to go to the third floor. The process server is assistant Hartford county detective, George l. Greer, who is a member of MT. AL corn's staff and special deputy fol New Haven county, allowing him tc serve state subjoenas in this terri tory.
 Constitutional Rights
 The point to the whole subpoena situation is, as far as the United States Supreme Court is concerned that the Illinois decision might very logically be used as a basis for judg- ment in a Connecticut case, and g new trial ordered, if it was decided that the constitutional rights of the defendants had been violated.

European Diplomats In Conference Are Silent
tContinued from Page D

informants said, that second for nal conference was arranged for 5:30 p. m. today.
 Principals Observed
 Diplomats who attended the bril- liant ball which Mussolini gave at the Palazzo Venezia, for Chamber lain, Viscount Halifax, foreign Sec- retary, and the rest of the British visitors, were deeply interested in the actions of the principals. After a state banquet which MuSSolini gave, the dinner guests filed into the adjacent ballroom where more than HOO guests were assembled. Chamberlain entered and mingled with the guests. Next came Mus solini, Count Galeazzo Ciano, for- eign minister, and the counts wife, who is Mussolini's daughter. As Chamberlain chatted, Musolini, un- duly serious, and his son-in-law went to a corner and remained there for Q long time, deep in con- versation. Mussolini was wearing formal evening dress, incidentally, with the red sash of the order of the Annunziata across his chest. Finally Chamberlain joined Musso- lini and Ciano. Then Mussolini's mood became lighter, and he burst occasionally into laughter in which Chamberlain joined.
 Chamberlain Is Sharp
 Some diplomats thought that Chamberlain spoke rather pointed ly in his brief response to his hosts toast at the state dinner.
 T have come here in pursuit of the policy for which I stand-a po- licy of friendship with all and en- mity with none, policy directed to the just and peaceful solution of International difficulties by the method of negotiation" Chamber lain said. There was some tenden- cy to believe that this was an open invitation to Mussolini to start ne- gotiations direct with France in pursui of any ambitions he might have, and to keep his policy "just and peaceful"
 Mussolini Friendly Mussolini, in his own speech, spoke in the most friendly manner of Chamberlain and Great Britain.
 Italy, Mussolini said, "has always believed in peace based on justice, which has been and is the final goal which the policy of Fascist Italy has aimed at and is aiming to achieve"
 Incidentally Chamberlain sealed the agreement under which Great Britain recognized the conquest of Ethiopia when he pledged a toast to "his majesty the king of Italy and emperor of Ethiopia"
 10000 Jews Appeal Rome, Jan. 12-(UP)--A commit tee representing Italy's 10000 Ior- eign Jews has sent memorandum to Prime Minister Neville Cham berlain asking him to appeal to Be- nito Mussolini to postpone their ex- pulsion, scheduled for March 12 1t was said today in an authoritative quarter
 The Jewish memorandum said that Italy's foreign Jews so far had been unable to find any country which would grant them visas be- fore March 12, by which date they must have left Italy or be subject to forcible expulsion.
 Foreign Jews. the memorandum said. were not interested in any suggestion that they go to Ethiopia because If Italy did not want them in the mother land they would not want them settled in any Italian colony.

assured of a Nationalist victory in the civil war before there is any substantial withdrawal of Italian aid.
 MusSolini has thrown more lives already into the Spanish war than he did into the Ethiopian war. in addition to many hundreds of mil lions of lire in materials.
 It seemed highly unlikely that he would retire from Spain at the behest of Great Britain and France at time when a Nationalist victory with the aid of Italian infantry, airplanes, artillery and tanks and German airplanes and anti-aircraft guns seemed more likely than ever.
 Shift Of Policy
 The principal outcome of the Rome talks seemed likely to be a definite shift in the direction of Chamberlain's "appeasement" po- Hey.
 In event that the Rome meetings prove inconclusive, and Chamber lain finds that he has encountered stalling attitude by Mussolini, his already thinly worn patience at the lack of the dictators' response to his policy will undoubtedly crack. Then both Mussolini and Adolf Hitler would find themselves con- fronted with a harder, stiffer and less amiable British government. I am informed that British govern ment officials even now refrain from overworking the word "ap- peasement" as applied to Chamber lain's policy. They have found that the word has rather unpleasant connotations in the British public mind. Perhaps this may prove the first step in gradually and unosten- tatiously jettisoning the policy to which the word originally was ap- piled. Rome Jan. 12-(UP) - Premier Benito Mussolini has failed to re- ceive the satisfaction for which he hoped in his first talks with Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, it was reported today in diplomatic quarters. It was asserted that at their first talk yesterday afternoon Mussolini raised a number of points regarding the Mediterranean sit- uation generally and the Spanish civil war in particular, and failed to receive the encouragement he had hoped for. It was because of this,
