 Coster Scandal Recalled
 The World Telegram recalled tes- timony before Assistant State At- torney General Ambrose V. Mccall in the state investigation of the McKesson and Robbins scandal. The testimony was that Thomas J. Spell lacy, mayor of Hartford, Conn.,, had been approached on Dec. by a lawyer whom, he later had reason to believe, was acting for F. Don- aid Coster Philip Musical The suicide embezzler and then pres- ident of McKesson and Robpins. The lawyer informed Spellacy, the testimony had 1t, that his client, an officer of McKesson and Robbins, had learned that $l8,0o0,000 Of It's assets were fictitious.
 spellacy testified, the World Tel egram said, that two days later he told Judge Thomas of the situation and learned that Thomas had re- ceived similar information from a lawyer acting for another McKes- son and Robbins officer. Then Mayor Spellacy, the newspaper said, called in Vincent W. Dennis, Hart ford corporation counsel. He was handed a bankruptcy petition and 2000 shares of McKesson and Rob- bins stock. A lawyer assured him, the World Telegram said, that the information in the petition had been verified and Dennis filed 1t with Thomas. That same day, Thomas appointed Mayor spellacy and Abraham Weissrnan receivers for McKesson and Robbins.
 Speliacy Named Receiver
 Tn 1883, the World Telegram said, Thomas appointed Spellacy as mas ter to sell the old Poll circuit the- aters, then owned by the bankrupt

Sunshine Today Clears Streets; Highways Kept

After 6 couple of days of fairly warm weather, when the rain fell and temperatures remained several degrees above freezing, cold re- turned to Waterbury today.
 But sunshine accompanied the lower temperatures and took the sting from the dropping mercury, so far as discomfort of Q general kind was concerned.
 Yesterdays high was 70 degrees and this high temperature carried through until morning, when the mercury started dropping, hitting the 30-degree mark ct about 9:30 o'clock.
 Going was slippery on streets out of the center, with street depart ment crews sanding spots where yesterdays slush had frozen today, Almost an inch of rain fell yester- day and the day before.

(Continued from Page D committee leadership is preparing for what appears to be an inevitable primary fight.
 Seriousness of this threat of e bolt from organization leadership Is evidenced by the fact that one group only of the racial organiza- tions already has placed about 100 workers in the districts preparing for the primary battle, for organ ization of the districts anent the election, should this be found ne- cessary.
 Meanwhile, all is quiet along the Democratic frontier with success of the election of all Waterbury can- didates last election assuring that organization is not lacking. There will be changes in many particulars during the next several months, be- yond doubt. But several of these transitions already have been ar- ranged and no announcement will be forthcoming until such time as the conventions are about to be held.

Continued from Page D in the proposed budget call for ex- pcnditure of $i0, 400, 900. But of this amount disbursed, only $6,e26,000 would be received in taxes.
 The tax rate of 3o.b mills which would be necessary If Bridgeport paid of It's debts is reduced, under Mayor McLevy's system, to SID mills by the issuance of refunding bonds of S2,449,000. Then, by short term notes and current expense notes. the tax rate b lowered to 2s.3 mills, the rate sought by the mayor. .
 IT, the last state election, Mayor McLeyy won the votes or many people who claimed that he had managed the City of Bridgeport Economically and efiiciently. that he had lowered the tax rate. that he was Q believer in sound financ- ing.
 Fiscal Policy Attacked
 Opponents of the Socialist mayor will hammer this fall ct his fiscal policies, and will point to the fact that all communities In the state and even the state itself. could low CT taxes by following the McLevy program of borrowing.
 But fiscal policies do not make attractive issues to the ordinary vot.. tcrs, But the cry of "dictatorship' does, and the mayor will hear that cry very often in the weeks and months to come. ...,
 Under his board of education bill election of members of the board would end. Instead they would pc appointed by the mayor Of Bridge port. .
 A storm of protest hes greeted this proposal. At the public hearing before the cities and b0roughs coiii- mittee this week, the only ones speaking in favor Of the bill were McLeyy and several slibordinateS Scores appeared against the Dill and protested strongly against It's pas sage.
 Never has opposition to any Me- Levy proposal been as bitter or as strong. Members of the cities and boroughs committee were deluged with teiegrafns, letters and petitions of protest. Gov. Baldwin said he had received tholigafids Of messages against the bill but none in favor. Tn the ranks of the McLevy opposi- ton are people of ali races, paftie1 and creeds, as well as representa-. lives of dozens of Bridgeport and state organizations.
 The biiI may pass, because Of the "deap with the Republicafis but f 1t should not. the McLevy pres. tige will be greatly lowered. Even ' jt should pass. the opposition tc t has been 90 violent that itS repcr- cussionS will be felt in the mayors political future,

Continued from Page D Committeeman tho American de- fense line now was on the Rhine or in France. Mir. Roosevelt char acterized "a deliberate lie." He told his press conference he did not doubt the statement had been made to reporters by some person pro- fessing to know what had traf,s- pired ct the committee conference and suggested that newspaperfnen produce the boob" who had inisled them.
 Confusion Prevails
 But confusion about what has been said in the secret conference continues to prevail here because senators themselves disagree on what they heard and on the extent to which Mir. RooSevelt's policy rec statement covered the ground gone over while the committee was at tho White House Tuesday. A cail- vass Of committee members ob- tained conflicting versions some Of which still contained references to France and Great Britain.
 The President and c group of senators were headed toward show down on foreign policy and public- fly of secret discussion of arma- incnts sales to European democra- cies.
 Showdown Due Monday
 The showdown may come Mon- day when the Senate next meets, or 1t may be delayed until Friday after the Senate Military Affairs Committee again considers publish ing testimony relating to special consideration given . French air mission seeking to buy American fighting planes for cash.
 Unable to agree yesterday, the committee postponed c decision until it's next meeting. Senator Bennett Clark, Democrat, Missouri, said nc would appeal to the senate if the committee kept the record secret.
 MT. Rooseveit's restatement Of foreign policy may have been de. signed to side track the senate at- tack on secrecy and criticism Of such cooperation as fissy have been extended France. But the first reaction Of some of the most jii- terested eenatcrs wae to perBist in their challenge and committee mem ters still disagreed oil wbat was discussed et the secret conference.
