Hartford, Conn, October 12. (UP) - Governor Baldwin today ordered a sweeping investigation of the entire state system of high way fund aid to the 169 cities and towns "to determ- inc whether or not there has been any misuse of public funds" AS a special meet ing held today as result of disclosures that towns re- portedly profited by nearly quarter of million dollars through dual collections from the state, the governor ordered an emergency meeting for tomorrow to which he summoned:
 Finance Commissioner Olin Glenn Saxon, Attorney-G General Francis A. Pallotti; Comptroller Fred R. Teller; State-Aid Agent William F. Hulze; State Auditors Frank Lynch and Lewis Phelps, and State Highway Commissioner William J. Cox, who was hurriedly recalled from a Rich- mond, Va, convention.

CHRYSLER MOTOR
 COMPANY IS HIT

Detroit, October 12. (UP) - The United Automobile Workers Union of the Congress of Industrial Organizations prepared today to take strike vote among its locals in all 13 Chrysler Corporation plants in Michigan, Indiana and California where 55y000 men are employed.
 The vote was ordered by Richard T. Frankennsteen, regional CIO- JAW director, as the result of dis pute with the company over work schedules. He said he already had filed notice of intention to strike with the State Labor Board which requires g five-day cooling off" period before a walk-out.
 The dispute already has made 47,000 workers idle in Detroit plants of Chrysler and Briggs Manufactur- ing Company which supplies Chrys- Ter bodies. A general strike against Chrysler would virtually curtail work at Briggs plants employing 10000.

Soviet Secret Agents Honeycomb Army, Navy Asserts Former Russian General

"Yes," the witness replied. "Inas- much as Stalin'S pact with Hitler is real alliance between two armies operating in specified zones, I have no doubt that exchange of informa- tion is indispensable to both Hitler and Stalin."
 He added that it was "a matter of common knowledge" that after 1922, armies of Germany and Russia CO., operated and that German soldiers were trained on Russian soil to avoid terms of the Versailles treaty.
 At the time of the purge, Krivit- sky said, the Ogpu replaced the mill itary intelligence service and was given these functions abroad:
 1. To spy on all Soviet officials from the ambassador down to the lowest clerk"
 2. To spy on all Russian immi- grants including the "so-called Trotzkyite oppositionists"
 3. To take an interest in the en- tire political and economic life of the United States and of every other country in which it operates. For this reason, he said, it has agents planted in all important organiza- tionS, governmental or otherwise which concern the Soviet govern ment or its interests"
 1. To list all the known friends or enemies" of the Soviet Union in each country" Asked if the Dies committees work would warrant Ogpu attention, Krivitsky replied that the committees exposure of the crimes of the Stalin machine would make it target of the Ogpu and the subject of its very active interest"
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-10-12

Washington, Oct. 12-(UP)-Wal- ter G. Krivitsky, former Soveit Gen. eral, told the Dies committee yes- terday that there undoubtedly" are Soviet secret agents in the United States army and navy. Krivitsky explained that he did not know of his own personal knowl- edge anything concerning Ogpu ac- tivities here, but that T have no doubt that the machinery is as good" as the Ogpu units in other countries. The lean, sharp-featured Russian, who described himself as former chief of Soviet military intelligence in western Europe, previously had testified that Josef Stalin had caused the execution of 35,000 Red army officers in the 1887 purge. He said that millions" of Russians had been sent to concentration camps. When the questioning turned to Soviet espionage in this country, KrivitSky said he had seen how ef- ficiently the Ogpu worked in many foreign countries and believed that held true here. He explained that the Ogpu has taken over Soviet mill | itary intelligence work.
 "Is the United States considered difficult place to carry on espion- age work and gather information?" asked committee counsel Rhea Whitley.
 "No," Krivitsky replied, through the interpreter who sat beside him.
 You've heard that matter dis cused by persons who know this country?"

Iroquois Passengers
 Complain of Treatment
Shrieking With Joy, They Landed Safely in New York Last night - They Were Treated Like Cattle
 Claimed Some on Board
BY EARL B. STEELE

United Press Stair COrreSpOnaentl
 New York, Oct. 12-CUP)- The SIT refugee passengers of the Amer ican liner Iroquois, who Shrieked and danced last night at sight of the Statue of Liberty, complained angrily today against the per- formance and management of the ship that had brought them safely through the perils of storm, bomb and submarine.
 They had known since Sunday, when two American deStroyers and a coast guard patrol boat arrived alongside, of the German warning that the Iroquois would be sunk as it neared American shores, but by that time everybody was in such a state of excitement over storms and rumors that it didn't disturb them.
 Now that they thought back over it, they were angry.
 "They treated us like cattle, made some of us sleep on the floor, wa tered us three times a day only, charged us first class fares on the cabin-class boat and kept the big suites that could have accommodate ed six persons locked up," said Mrs. Thomas Murphy, New York.
 "The ship acted like a flat-bot- toned dory," said M. J. Clifford. Denver, Colo. "In the rough wealth. CT we had on the early part of the trip she behaved like cork on the water"

Tw o Waterbury, Four People From Naugatuck
 Are Back Very Happy

Unharmed from a storm tossed crossing on the submarine-thre ened liner Iroquois, two Waterbury and four Naugatucll residents ar- rived last night at small pier in New York City harbor.
 The Waterbury and Naugatuck residents who made the nerve wracked eight-day passage from Cobh, Ireland, included Rev. T. Charles Dooley and Michael Flynn, of Waterbury, and Mrs. Michael Feeley, and son, Thomas, Miss Mary Jane Duffy, and Miss Anna E. Ford, all of Naugatuck.
 One Of Hardships
 Menace of submarine attack which stretched nerves to the break ing point was only one of the hard- ships suffered by the passengers. Repeated searches for explosives or other sabotage weapons were con- ducted by the ships officers, while heavy seas battered the boat for three days. Although none of the Waterburians or Naugatuck resi- dents was injured durine the storm, many of their fellow passengers clambered down the gang-plank bandaged and bruised. <
 Word of the threatened torpedo attack was not relayed to passengers until last Sunday, shortly before the convoy of two destroyers reached the Iroquois in mid-Atlantic. Yes terday an escort of six airplanes droned over the ship as it neared port.

 MAY BE DROPPED Major Burrall, Harry C. Post Are Also Put Out
 of Running

Possibility of Mayor Pat rick M. Perriello retiring from the race for the Repub- lican mayoralty nomination before the city convention Monday night is utterly in- conveivable", it was declared today by Attorney Michael Galullo, one of the mayors campaign managers. With the mayor refusing to follow hints that he should with draw, the Republican leadership faced other difficult problems to- day.
 A demand for the busting of Reg sistfar of voters AlBaf 0.s Fal1er and the nomination of another can didate in his stead was reported growing in G. O. P. circles today. Perriello supporters asserted it was not confined to their group, but was widespread in party ranks.
 Meantime friends of John w. Mc- Gurk, who is seeking the nomina- tion for city clerk, were working hard in his behalf and expressed a belief that he could not be ignored if the party is to succeed in the elec- ton.

ROOSEVELT, JIM
 FARLEY COMBINE
Just as Strong Today as It Ever Was-Prepared
 For Next Year
BY LYLE c. WILSON

United Press Staff COrreSpOndent)
 Washington, Oct. 12--tUP)-The political partnership of Roosevelt, Farley & Co., which was believed to be ,dissolving few short months ago, is doing business as usual to- day and expects a boom year in 1940.
 Such differences as existed be- tween the president and the post master general were substantially disposed of last month after Farley returned from a European vacation.
 Public demonstration that the two friends of 1892 and 1886 are likely to be in, partnership next year, too, came yesterday when MT. Roosevelt addressed 5000 or so postmasters in the south grounds of the White House. The post office employees are here for their annual conven- tion. The president made his brief speech an occasion for a warm and pointed tribute to Farley and he reminded the assembly that when Jim" runs a convention 1t usually is a success.
 Your friend and mine," was MT. Roosevelt's description of Farley,
 To-day" he said, i've may all share in the pride which by every right and token should thrill Jim Farley's kindly heart. He is doing grand job."
 Speech Will Travel
 First hand reports of that speech will be carried to every local poli- tical headquarters in the land as the post office employees return to their homes. It appears to be a clear and definite hint to the anti-third term and other Democratic elements un- friendly to MT. Roosevelt that Far ley is more likely to be against them than with them in next years pees- idential wars.
