 brun Will Run Again

Paris, April 4. (UP)-French fem inists called out shock troops today and announced that their leader, Mile, Louise Weiss, would be 8 symbolic" candidate, for the presi- dential election tomorrow.
 The feminists ordered shock units to telephone all members of the senate and chamber of deputies at frequent intervals, reminding them that French women want the vote, and to hold 8 demonstration before the Versailles Palace ill which the senate and chamber, sitting as a rla- tional assembly, will elect the 18th president of the third republic.
 Senate and chamber porters sur- ried in and out of the palace today, bearing cases of beer, wines and mineral waters for the parliament tary bar. Cooks ordered materials for 8 big election dinner. which, like the drinks, will be free.
 President Albert LeBrun, respond ing to appeals that he stand for 8 second term in the interest of na- tional unity, agreed yesterday to be 8 candidate. He will not be unop- posed, however. Left wing parties put forward Senator Justin Godart, of the Democratic Radical Radical Socialist group. In consequence, url- less LeBrun is reelected or someone other than Goddard is named in his place, the cabinet must resign, be- cause Premier Edouard Daladier is committed to LeBrun's candidacy.
 If Goddard were elected, popular front premier would be expected.

WORLDS FAIR IS CALLED CON GAME
New York Councilman
 Claims City Being Robbed to Boost Private Gain

New York, April 4. = (UP) - Councilman James A. Burke's charge that the Worlds Fair was "the greatest con game in history" brought vehement denials today from Mayor F. H. Laguardia and Grover Whalen, president of the fair corporation.
 Much of the city's participation, which Burke estimated at $239, 9,000,- 900, represents necessary public im- provements," the mayor said. Whalen said the fair corporation was non-profit making and char itable institution which would turn over surpluses to the state and city for educational and charitable pur- poses"
 Burke told the council yesterday that while the city was furnishing free water and garbage removal services to the fair, the fair was assessing concessionaires for them; that the city was contributing among other things $2,000 ,OOO sub way spur and $2,0O0,O00 worth of police protection to private enter prise; that it had set up Ia prin- cipality within the city limits where a number of state laws, including the liquor law, were suspended. History Will Record It Tn years to come" Burke said, historians will record with awe that remarkable three-year period from 1886 to 1889 when, in order to in sure the success of a purely private business venture, the supposedly in- telligent citizens and taxpayers of the worlds greatest city permitted combination of P. T. Barnum and David Harum not only to empty the city's treasury and put the city in rock, but literally to stand its pub lie officials, it employees and prop erty owners on their heads to shake millions of dollars out of their poe kets in the form of pay cuts, lay-offs, reduction in essential education and other services and increased taxes and assessments = all for the pur- pose of insuring fat dividends for the bondholders of a private busi- ness venture known as Worlds Fair

Y, April 4-CUP) District Attorney John Donahue said today that an autopsy would be held on the body of 20-year- old Irving Feigin, New York City, who broke his neck while descending "Breakneck Cliff" along the Hudson River. He said the autopsy was necessary in view of note found in Feign's pocket. Donahue and state police declined to reveal the contents of the note but the dis trict attorney said it was of no great significance.
 Girard Block, 21-year-old Brook lyn youth who saw his companion dangle from rope over ledge 800 feet above the ground, testified at an inquest last night. Coroner George Logan reserved decision pending the autopsy.
 Block returned to his home down. state last night after testifying that he had seen his companion dangling from the rope but was unable to aid him Single-handedly.

til June 23, two days afetr the U. s. circuit court of appeals ordered the building evacuated.
 Company witnesses, including the president, William Meyer, testified at the 13-day trial that the strik- CTS wrecked most of the equipment in the plant.
 In his charge to the jury of eight women and four men, Judge Kirk patrick said they must decide whether the union sanctioned the violence.
 If you find the union authorized the sit down strike, there is nc reason to believe that they had authorized the damage which had been done," he said. However, if the union authorized unlawful acts it is necessary for you to find what followed as a consequence. If you find the union put 250 young fel- lows in the plant, you must de- termine whether the heads of the union expected some disorders as a probable and natural incident. Was the idea os putting men in there g threat of destroying property il the company did not sign up?"

; BY THE OUT EASTER

Another good soul from Out East passed to the beyond re- gently when Miss Julia Slavin of old Silver street died. She was one of the old school, faithful, religious, kind, neighborly and friendly to all in that section of the city where years ago each family knew every other family of the district, and where the best of feeling prevailed.
 Miss Slavin was one of those young women of the ninetics who was always seen about the church of the Sacred Heart, along with others just like her, arranging ',he various altars and doing a work that means SO much to the good priests who then were in charge of affairs at the old East End church. A true Catholic in every sense of the word, she never miss ed service or mission that was arranged for the old parishioners of the parish. Her spare time was given up entirely to church actiyi- ties, in spite of the long walk from her home to the church it. self. ,f r"
 Paper Box Co.
 For years Miss Slavin was em- ployed by the old Waterbury Pa per Box. Mfg. O., first at the old Bank street plant and later when 1t moved to South Leonard street. She retired about five years ago.
 Various families of the Slavins owned and lived in and about the junction of old Dublin and Silver streets. They were all active mem bers of the church, and were prominent in every affair held un- der the late pastor, the Rev. Hugh Treanor years ago. Great con- tributors, these families were held in high esteem by all of the other members of the parish. So were the others of the church. The good they did for the success of the church was often referred to by Father Treanor in his regular Sunday remarks from the pulpit.

Out East Mour11s Death
 or Miss Julia SLauir, Old Silver Street Resident Characterised by Ob- server as Faithful, Religious, Kind and Neigh borly = Rejoiced in Success of Associates

so much about the people Of old and what they did for all of us, regardless of whether you were of their religious bslief or not, dislike to think of the ravages of time, and what 1t means to this fine old type of parsonage. Somehow or other, the folks of old seem dif- ferent than many we meet in the present day. In olden days, there was a feeling of contentment and glory in the achievements and ad- vancement of friends. Today, when we read of an Out Easter getting up k the world, we quite fre- quently hear the term on the part of some people that they knew the party in question when he ran around the streets of the east end, with the tail of his shirt sticking out from his little trous- CTS. But that was 8 frequent trait of the boy of our day out here, yet reference to 1t was never made by the boy or girl or parents of years ago. <.
 Showed Happiness
 Miss Slavin was one of the kind that loved to see people out here advance in whatever line of busi- ness they followed through life. And she frequently SO expressed herself. For her own part, she was satisfied with her lot in life, never complained, went along her own way from day to day, prayed for your success, and the success of all others, and led such an excep- tional life of respect toward others, that there must be something in after life surely for one of her kind.
 We cannot speak too highly of one like Miss Slavin, with whom we were not personally acquainted, but of whom we often saw and observed in her labors for her re- ngion in the days when we too went with other boys of the neigh borhood to the outlying woods in search of evergreen and the like to add to the handsome floral dec- orations during the Christmas sea- son of the year.
 Old Out East!
 We may not have been as nu- merous in families then as now, but the old spirit was there, and the brotherhood of man prevail ed among all.
