New Haven accountant stated EnaL the receipts from the state and neighboring towns and cities from 193O-33 was $20,513.12.
 Tn 1933, he said, under orders from Mayor Frank Hayes, he completely reorganized the department, and as a result the revenues from 1g34-37 scared to $200.048.27. In addition to that increased revenue, he stated, as the eighth month of the trial opened this morning, that the city is now saving $26,O00 annually. as re- suit of his work in investigation of child welfare.
 Children Supported
 Through his efforts, assisted by Attorney Herman J. Weisman and other welfare workers, the account ant stated, more than 100 children who were being supported in private homes at the expense of the city, wee transferred to the care of the state. The children remained in private homes but expenses were paid by the state. !.
 The morning session, made. dull by the delay or 40 minutes curing which the jury examined working papers pretaining to the assign nlents of Alderman in the City Hall duying December, 1887, became more tiresome as lengthy testimony in reference to the technical. exhibits was given by Alderman.
 Refutes Claims of State
 This mornings evidence was de- signed to refute claims of the state that Alderman, the first of the de- fendants to take the stand for ac- quittal, had received money from the city for services not performed, and had extracted city records for des- trEction.
 Alderman testified that in Decem- Der, 1887, he was requested by Dan- iei J. Leary, former controller, to prepare list of checks issued by the City of Waterbury, to Leary per- sonally, during the year He was al- so requested, he said, to prepare similar list for 1936, if he had time.

STATE SEN. SHEA
 HAS SECURED JOB
Republican Is Appointed Prosecutor of Court in
 Manchester

Manchester, Conn, June 29-(UP) State Sen. William J. Shea, Re- publican first termer and regarded as potential state ticket timber by party leaders, today became the first senator from the 1899 General As- sembly session to accept job on the public payroll.
 Sen. Shea will become prosecutor Of Manchester town court July 1. He was appointed by Judge Raymond Bowers, Republican.
 Shea, a member of the legislative judiciary committee and one of the few Republican orators in the sen- ate, was prosecutor in the court from 1883 to 1887. The new appoint ment marked third term.
 In the final days of the legislative session early this month. the senate repealed a resolution 1t had adopted barring its members from accepting a job of any sort on the public pay roll during their legislative terms.
 Why He Did It
 The Republican position on dual- job holding, however. was that only judgeships, county commissioners and appointivc jobs should be in- ciuded in the ban. Democrats fayor- cd tho all-inclusive ban and pre- vailed in the senate.
 Sen, Shea was understood to feel his acceptance of the psoseculorshlp was in line with the original Repub- liean stand on the dual Job issue lcQnlinnad on Rasa ~

TONY CALENTO
 MUCH IDOLIzED Mighty Italian, Swathed in Bandages, Greeted
 By His Home Town
BY LESLIE AVERY

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Orange, N. J., June 29.- (uP)-- At 2:12 a. m. today pudgy Tony Galento pushed through the milling mob in his saloon and ordered drinks on the house. He didn't act like a man who had just taken the beating of his life, but his face was swathed in enough band age to wrap a mummy.
 "Yea Tony" the crewd yelled. we want Tony. Win, lose, or draw you're our Tony. You fought him too clean"
 Tony didn't finger long to listen to their adulation. He retired to the kitchen to talk with his man. ager, Joe Jacobs.
 The crowd kept screaming about the unfairness of Referee Artie Donovan in stopping the fight while Tony was still on his feet. They didn't kIaow that Tony had just come from the doctor. They didn't know that under those bandages g surgical clamps were holding Tony's battered features together. Z Police Cleared Them
 Then the police came and cleared all but about 200 out of the saloon. Galento came out of the kitchen with his manager, and little "Sir Echo, Jacobs began challenging Louis for another chance to win the. heavyweight title next Septem- Der. He said if necessary Tony would fight Lou Nova to prove he rated another chance.
 When Jacobs had finished, Tony crooked through the cotton, thanks gang, but gotta get home and get some sleep now" He and Jacobs climbed into waiting automobile and pulled away accompanied by the sirens of a police escort.
 The last of the crowd that at one time had numbered more than 5000, then began to drift home, but the fight was still being discussed as hot and heavy as it was the minute after the radio in the saloon had blared forth the bad news.

Doctors Goodrich, Nelson, Nurse Mrs. McTernan in

Good rich, pr. Roger B. Nelson and Mrs. Clara McTernan, who last week were arrested on bench warrants charging them with violation of the statute. Brief statements on the demurrer were made before Judge Kenneth Wynne by Attorney J. Warren Upson, defense counsel and States Attorney William B. Fitz- gerald, who instituted the criminal proceedings after an investigation by his staff of the operation of 8 birth control clinic at the Chase Dispensary, on Field Street.
 The lawyers agreed to the brief on the demurrer, the defense to file by July 25, and MT. Fitzgerald filing an answer by August I5. Trial of the three accused has been set down for September criminal term Of superior court.
 Amended Complaint
 In order to make the case real test, States Attorney Fitzgerald today filed an amended complaint against the defendants, in which DTS. Goodrich and Nelson are listed .as duly licensed physicians, and Mrs. McTernan as duly qualified nurse".
 MT. Upson this morning admitted freely that 8 birth control clinic has been operating at the Chase Dispensary, telling the court: Both doctors are engaged in private prac- tice, and voluntarily gave their services to the birth control clinic at the Chase Dispensary, which is the out-patient department of the Wa terbury Hospital" He said he had conferred with MT. Fitzgerald and that the latter had agreed to the filing of briefs on the demurrer.
 Allegations Made
 Tn the demurrer, it is alleged tf,ct Section 6246 of the General StatuS . is unconstitutional in that 1t in-I terferes with the individual liberty of citizens of the state, in that it violates the U. s. Constitution, in that constitutes a deprivation of life, liberty and property without due process of law, in that it sets no reasonably precise standards of guilt and in that it sets forth no maximum fine.
 The demurrer states further that the statute fails to make any ex-s ception for physicians who give birth control information to save the lives or protect the health of their patients.
 It is claimed that the informa- tion in the bench warrant is 'fatal- ly defective" on several grounds, one of them being that it allegedly fails to negative the possibility that the accused might have given birth con- trol information for reasons of health. Details of the alleged of lenses are not given, 1t is con- tended.

 Germany's striking power is great CT than ever today and Adolf Hitler is merely waiting for pieces of Eu- ropes political puzzle to fall into the most favorable position for a new NaZi thrust.
 | That does not mean that the Nazi intend to start a European war by crudely committing an act of aggres- sion in defiance of the new British led security front.
 On the contrary, conversations with Germans and foreigners in both official and unofficial positions of au- thority in Berlin leave no doubt that the Nazis are now confident they can achieve their next step-presumably against Danzig and the Polish Cor ridor- without a major conflict.
 But it is certain that the decision to his next step will be far more diff ficult and that the risk of mistake which Hitler must make in regard in judgment leading to war will be far greater than in any similar situ- ation arising since the Nazis came to power six years ago.

BILL
 FIGHT STARTED
Congress Given Warning By Morgenthau That
 Business Will Suffer
BY LYLE c. WILSON

United Press Staff Corresp0ndent)
 Washington, June 29-(UP). The administration put on the heat to- day in an effort to salvage Presi- dent Roosevelt's dollar devaluation powers and also pass 1940 relief bill before midnight tomorrow.
 Shock troops in the fight to win back the devaluation powers strip ped from the chief executive by the senate were the senate-house con- fereeS on the monetary bill, backed by 50-vote administration major ity in the house.
 President Roosevelt surveyed the situation with house leader Sam Rayburn and senate leader Alben w. Barkley at White House con- ference.
 Lower House May Insist
 After the discussion it was learn- ed that house leaders, told senate colleagues the lower chamber would insist that the presidents powers over the dollar be restored. If the senate declines to yield, it was in- dicated the whole monetary bill- continuing the $2,O0c 100000 stabil- ization fund and a 77.57 cent an ounce domestic silver buying pro- gram-may be allowed to lapse tenn porarily at the deadline hour of 12:01 a. m. Saturday.
 The emphasis placed on the fight to win back dollar devaluation pow CTS was backed up by a press con- ference statement from Secretary of Treasury Henry Morgenthau, Jr., that farmers and business men "had better start worrying seriously about the dollar" if congress refuses to extend the authority.
 Morgenthau said the senate &C., ton would take the country back to 1933."
 It was revealed authoritatively that a threat of further devaluation of the dollar had been employed as recently as last December when British authorities were considering allowing the value of the pound to

1lnal passage Dy tomorrow nlgnC, only after rejecting house proposal to earmark $125 ,000 000 of the Works Progress Administration funds for public works and adding more than 40 amendments.
 Working against time in an effort to rush the bill to President Roose- welt for signature before midnight Friday, the senate disregarded ap- peals of administration leaders and loaded the bill with revisions that will require a conference with the house.
 Majority Leader Alben W. Barkley, Democrat, Kentucky, appointed senate conferees immediately and expected them to meet with house members soon after the house con- venes at II a. m. Present relief funds will be exhausted tomorrow, threatening the jobs of 2,500,000 WPA workers.

 Administration leaders made good their threat to keep the senate in session until the bill was approved, and at all times during the evening save when Joe Louis knocked out Tony Galento-there was a quorum in the chamber. The senate ad- journed at 1:15 a. m., EST.
 Many of the Senate amendments, hastily considered and accepted by the managers of the bill in an effort to iron out differences in confer ence, probably will be reelgated to the waste basket by the time the measure is ready for the presidents signature. However, there was spir-

Desperate Ray Olsen
 Killed By Posseman
Hunted for Nearly Two Weeks He Was Cornered Early This Morning in Wisconsin Woods-Fell
 Under Barrage of Bullets

Cable, Wis., June 29--t tIJEl Atl- gust Buelo, alias Ray Olson, 30, fugitive killer of two deputy sheriffs who had eluded posse in the Northern Wisconsin woods for 13 days, was shot and killed early to- day.
 He was killed by possemen.
 The search for Olson, one of the biggest in Northern Wisconsin, be- gan June 17 when he shot and killed Carl (Cully) Johnson and Fred Scott, Hayward, Wis, tavernkeepers who had been deputized to arrest him.
 A posse saw the two-gun desper- ado sneaking through the woods early today near the Victor Ander- son Esort, 25 miles southwest of Ashland.
 "Halt or we'll shoot," they com Imanded.
 The killer quickened his pace, and the possemen, expert marksmen, fired volley, Olson fell dead.
 The fugitive killer was unshaven, gaunt from hunger peppered with mosquito and insect bites. His clothes were bedraggled and torn by his long flight through the north woods thickets and sodden from travelling through rain and tangled swamplands in which he had hidden. @
 Hunger Sent Him to Death
 Hunger drove Olson from his fav- orite swamplands of the Chippewa river bottoms to his death.
 Eluding a posse which had him surrounded in a swamp near Hay- ward, he had stolen an automobile and fled to the Mamakagon Lake region of Bayfield, county, to the northeast, to forage for food.

not necessarily depend upon
plot. In place of plot. the most
successful plays are now limited
to Characterization, to clever
dialogue and themes that make
the audience think and continue
to think long after the final
curtain.
Another lifesaver of the stage
is its limited audience. TheaterS
are smaller. The audiences are
people who, with entertainment,
choose to face problems pre-
sented to them on the stage.
By returning to motion pic
lures, 1 have no intention Of
deserting the stage. Reentering
the films was upon the advice
of my legal adviser. He con.
vinced me that it would be a
wise move because 1 had re-
mained away from pictures too
long as it is. Contrary to injur-
ing what prestige I may have on
the stage. he insisted a SOjOurn
in pictures would be beneficial
to my stage work, enabling me
to return to New York invigOr-
ated and with fresh insight into
stage technique.
This will be possible because
of my unusual contract with
Metro Goldwyn-Mayer. By the
terms of this contract 1 will
remain at M-G-M until Septem-
ber, 1889. Then I receive a
years leave of absence, which
will permit me to return to the
stage until the following Septem-
ber in 1910. These alternating
years consist of seven.
I would like to have it un-
derstoOd that 1 have no desires
to regain the stardOm that I
once enjoyed in pictures. 1t
may be great for others, but as
for me, 1 am not the type any
longer. From now on 1 want
only to play straight, which is
exactly what I am doing in my
first picture, 81 Take This
Woman" Spencer Tracy and
Hedy Lamar are the favorites
in the race and Pm satisfied
with being just one of the nags
in the field.
After a few straight roles, I
would like to step into charac-
ter parts for, after all, that is
what I have always done on
the stage. If I do more than
this in my screen roles 1 will
be extremely happy. See you on
the screen, then on some future
Monday night. Sincerely,
