Hitler's reaction was believed

.D.A.R. CONCLUDES
 SESSION TODAY
Tea, Banquet to Be Held at White House; Connects
 cut Woman Elected

Washington, April 21-OP) - The daughters of the American Revolution conclude their 48th con- tinental congress today with tea at the White House and a banquet this evening.
 In the absence of Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, cabinet officers wives will receive the daughters. at their annual tea. Mrs. Roosevelt recent ly resigned from the D. A. R. be- cause of its refusal to allow Marian Anderson, Negro contralto, the use of its Constitution hall here for a concert.
 An indirect reference to the is- sues of that controversy was made last night by Rep. Edith Nourse Rogers, R., Mass, who joined Sen Hattie w. Caraway, D., Ark, in extending congressional greetings to the society.
 Mrs. Rogers, a member of the D. A. R., urged delegates to lead the way toward racial cooperation.
 Race Cooperated
 "In the United States" she said Trace cooperation must replace race hatred class division must be abolished. Since the D. A. R. is primarily and fundamentally an American institution, it is the duty of the society to lead the way.
 "The time has come when all Americans should be merged into just plain Americans"
 Meanwhile, Mrs. Henry M. Robert Jr., president general, informed the Marian Anderson citizens commit tee that a D. A. R. committee would meet its representatives as soon as the Congress is over and discuss the D. A. R,s ban of Negro artists from Constitution hall.
 New officers, elected yesterday will be installed today. The pres ident generals term does not ex- .pire until next year. But the fol- lowing vice president generals were elected:
 Mrs. John L. Marshall, South Ca- rolina; Mrs. Carl Hoskins, New Hampshire; Mrs. Henry c. Chiles Missouri; Mrs. Arthur J. Kahn Montana; Mrs. Frederick P. Lati- mer, Connecticut; Mrs. Robert J Johnston, Iowa, and Mrs. Homer F. Sloan, Arkansas.

CHIEF MAY NEED TRANSFUSION
Vincent Skelly of Nauga- tuck Taken to Hospital
 This Morning

Naugatuck, April 21-Chief of Police Vincent Skelly was taken to St. Mary's hospital at 3 o'clock this morning for observation, it was learned today. Chief Skelly may be suffering from appendicitis, it is be- lieved.
 He became ill early Thursday and did not work yesterday. Last night about midnight he became worse and was ordered removed to the hospi- tai. Dr. Charles E. Kennedy of Naugatuck and Dr. M. J. Lawlor of Waterbury are the attending physi- clans.
 It was stated today that 1t is not known as yet whether or not Chief Skelly will have to undergo an op- eration. A blood transfusion may be necessary.
 l Chief Skelly was scheduled to lead the grand march at the policemen's s ball to be held tonight at Pythian hall. It seems probable that in view of the chiefs illness, Captain arlc Mrs. John Gormley will lead the march. The many friends of Chief Skelly were grieved to hear of his illness He was appointed chief last Febru- ary, having been captain before that. He was acting chief from the death last summer of Chief John A Adamson until the time of his ap- pointment.

What And Why Is Arbor Day?
By LOUIS M. DORSCH, Staff Writer Waterbury Democrats Washington Service Bureau

The plan for Arbor day was con- ceived by J. Sterling Morton, then a member of the Nebraska state board of agriculture, and later U. s. secretary of agriculture. At a meet ing held at Lincoln, January 4, 1872, he proposed that the 10th day of April 1872, be especially set apart and consecrated to tree planting in Nebraska and named "Arbor Day. The resolution was adopted and on that occasion more than a million young trees were set. Before that time, tree planting in almost treeless Nebraska had been haphaZard, but the adoption of the Arbor Day plan meant the organization of the work
 The observance of Arbor day has since spread rapidly until nearly all the states have set aside certain days for the purpose either as school or legal holidays. AS school festi- val the observance has spread not only throughout the whole United States but far beyond its borders. It is now observed in all dependencies of the United States and in Great Britain, Canada, Australia, the English West Indies, South Africa, New Zealand. France, Norway, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, Spain. Japan, and China.
 Time of Observance Varies
 The time of observance varies greatly in different states and coun-
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-04-21

tries, determined somewhat by cli- matic conditions. In general the date is early in the year in the south and is set further along toward sumer in the more northern states In some states 1t is in the fall, and in others two dates are set, one in the spring and the other in the fall
 In 1885, April 9, the birthday of J. Sterling Morton, the pioneer pro- moter of the observance, was desig- mated as Arbor day and made lega holiday in Nebraska.
 More than two-thirds of the states have enacted laws for the observ- ance of Arbor day. In the other states and also in the territories the day is observed by proclamation of the governor, authorization of the superintendent of education, or by other action.
 Arbor day has become associated all over the United States with eco homie as well as patriotic and es- thetic ideas. The planting of trees by schools or organizations is usu- ally accompanied by ceremonies in- tended not only to impress upon those present the beauty of trees and their effect in improving the appearance of school grounds. streets, parks, highways, etc, but also to lead them tN a realization of the value of community and na- tional foresight.

TWO SENTENCED
 ONLY ONE GUILTY

Augusta, Me, April 21-(Up)-An unparalleled situation in which two men are serving life sentences for a murder only one of them could have committed may be remedied under a new Maine law. The law, enacted by the legislature yesterday, would permit the granting of new trials in criminal cases on the grounds of newly disclosed evidence.
 The legislation was supported by former Attorney-G General Clyde R.. Chapman, counsel for former Depu- ty Sheriff Francis M. Carroll of South Paris, convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment last year for the murder of Dr. James G. Little field. Chief witness against Carroll was Paul N. Dwyer, 19, who retract- ed a confession that led to his im- prisonment for life in 1887 for the same murder. The new law would permit superior court judge to re- view new evidence, and if he deemed 1t worthy of consideration, to send it to the supreme court for action on new trial.

FUEL STRIKE IS
 NEAR SOLUTION

Boston, April 21-CUP)-Negotia- tors in the nine-day coal and fuel oil dispute were reported closer to an agreement today than at any time since negotiations for a new contract began eight weeks ago.
 Conferences between Local 68 of AFL.'s International Brotherhood Of Teamsters, Chauffeurs, Stablemen and Helpers and the Retail Fuel h. stitute were resumed behind locked doors at an unannounced meeting place this morning
 We are very hopeful of settle ment," Acting Chairman Raymond V. McNamara of the state arbitra- tion board said as conferees report ed on progress made at meeting yesterday.
 The dispute. centering on the unions demand for new contract expiring Dec. 31 instead of April 1 as have previous contracts, has left 28OO drivers idle in metropolitan Boston.
