REICHSBANK SUED
 ON INCOME TAXES
Lien Placed on Balance in New York; Taxes Are
 Long Overdue

Washington, March 31-(UP)- The treasury revealed today govern ment action has been instituted in the New York Federal District court placing lien against German Reichsbank balances held by the New York Federal Reserve bank.
 The treasury said that the bureau of internal revenue filed a lien March IS in New York Federal court against the German balances. It said the action was taken to enforce collection of income tax claims against the Reichbank.
 Officials insisted the action was a routine tax collection matter and had no diplomatic aspects.
 The treasury claims that the Reichsbank owes the United States government taxes on income from commercial transactions in the United States from 1924-1927 inclu- sive.
 The controversy has been under negotiation for some time, officials explained, but the bureau decided to file the lien now to prevent the case from being outlawed by the statute of limitations.
 The federal government originally claimed $125, 5,OO0 but with accrued interest the amount now Is $144,454.

WIFE DENIES SHE
 KILLED HUSBAND
Only Four Cents Worth of Poison Used in Death
 Say Police

Fitchburg, Mass, March 3l. = (UP) Four cents worth of poison in a Saturday night supper of frankfurters and beans was used by bride of three months to kill her third husband, investigators charged today.
 Mrs. Victoria Lefebvre, 53. graying bespectacled South Ashburnham housewife, paid a druggist 35 cents for bottle containing 60 grains of Strychnine January 16 and signed the store poison book" according to state police. Pharmacist Joseph Ouellette quoted Mrs. Lefebvre as saying her husband wanted to "get rid of a mongrel dog".
 Two days later = January l8 - she returned the bottle and said the dog had been killed by truck, Ouellette said, and he refunded the 35 cents. Though Mrs. Lefebvre was quoted as saying she had not opened the bottle, state police reported four cents worth of the poison was miss ing. However, there was no police record of dog being killed in South Ashburnham January IT or 18. .-. -
 Florient Lefebvre, 58, $13-a-week WPA worker and former blacksmith, died Saturday night, January 21. Though death at first was attributed to natural causes, an autopsy showed strychnine was responsible.
 Mrs. Lefebvre, arrested early yes- terdays and held without bail for hearing April 2 on a murder charge, denied she had given her husband poison and she had no reason to kill him.
 Since Lefebvre had no insurance or other property of value, police were puzzled by lack of a motive.
 State Detective Edward J. McCar- thy said he was satisfied that Mrs. Lefebvre's first two husbands died of natural causes.

Prominent Leaders in Realty Circles Discuss Problem
 at Regional Conference in New Haven

, ness during 1888 remained on par with that of 1857; and in some phases, particularly in mortgage loans, surpassed the previous year. Thus far this year property sales have been higher both in number and in volume than those of last year.
 Comparing real estate conditions in New England with those through out the country we may say that the future in many ways is in our own hands"
 Speaking on the same platform with E. L.. Ostendorf, Cleveland, Ohio, president of the Association, who detailed national plans looking toward widened scientific study of real estate factors, and who out lined the first steps of a major att tack in cities over the country upon the problem of rebuilding rundown urban sections, Vice-President Hewitt in the keynote address of the two-day conference, pointed out that today's economic problem and central opportunity for New England cities, as for cities in every section of the country, is the conquest of urban blight, the transformation of deteriorated areas into sound new use.
 The whole conference is keyed to the most practical kind of discus sion of rehabilitation of existing properties, merchandising of indus trial space, best use of retail busi- ness properties, valuation of large old residential properties, planning Of large-scale housing operations and other questions involved in ad- Justment to social and economic changes of our day.
 This is changing world in more than the map of Europe alone. We are seeing the dawn of a new era in our emerging profession" MT. Hewitt told the real estate specialists, here to meet with national leaders of their various fields.
 Research into the factors affect ing real estate use has grown more important than ever before. And strangely enough, we are beginning to, realize today that the green fields are not far away but have been in our own backyards. Looking afar to new developments, to the building of newer and larger prop critics, we are now discovering that we have let both residential and bus- mess sections of our cities and towns deteriorate in some areas almost to the vanishing point of value.
 For the reclamation of retail b,ls- mess sections, residential areas and industrial areas that need new util- izatlon, 1t evolves upon the Realtors of New England to take such leader ship in the civic and economic af- 1a1rs of their communities as to bring about the rebuilding of those touched with blight into fourishing shopping, work, and residential cen- ters." MT. Hewitt called on Realtors of New England, in this undertaking particularly for leadership fin see- ing that standards of housing for our population are continually bet ter, particularly for those of the low CT brackets who must be provided with decent living quarters and sur- roundings at a minimum cost.'

BISHOP TUCKER
 CALLS FOR ACTION

Bridgeport, Conn, March 31.- (UP)-The Most Rev. Henry St. George Tucker, presiding bishop of the Protestant Episcopal church in America, today called upon Episco- palians to return to their mission ary functions" to alleviate distress ing conditions" in the world.
 'It is obvious" he said in a church talk, "that the church of which we are members has taken its mission ary obligations too lightly. We have neglected them.
 ''The great missionary problem should be of tremendous concern to us. The primary worth of any church is shown in the fidelity to which it gives itself to missionary functions.
 'We perhaps, are now standing at the evening of all civilization. It is up to us whether civilization will decline."
