WASHINGTON, FL TO 0
q. OF d. Grid Team. Closed Season
Saturday In A Blaze OF Glory

The University of Delaware foot
ball team, after losing seven straight
games. ended the season last Satur-
day with 81 to 0 victory over their
old rivals, Washington College of
Chestertown. Md. AS 1t happened to
be the annual home coming day for
alumni. tho victory was especially
gratifying.
Despite the loss of seven games
this season it is generally felt that
Coach Steve Grenda has started the
ground work for a winning combi-
nation Tor at least the next three
years. One great trouble this sea-
son was the fact that most of the
squad lacked experience. and next
season the players should be greatly
improved.

 News of the House repeal vote reached here at Ii o'clock last night.
 Hitler was expected to examine the implications of the vote, and to dictate the policy of Nazi spokes- men and the newspapers, today.
 He was expected also to receive 8 full report on Russian policy and the progress of German Russian trade negotiations from Count Friedrich Won Der Schulenburg, Naz ambas- sador at Moscow who arrived here yesterday. Turkey and the Balkans would enter naturally into the Hit Schulenburg conference.
 Russia Not Hampered
 Allied, and neutral, contentious that Russia is not in position to send large amounts of needed materials to Germany were denied by Maj. Fritz Tschunke, chairman of the "Russia committee" of German com merce, trade and industry, In a statement today.
 If Russia formerly was able to export to Germany goods worth 300,- 100000 to 100000 marks ($l20,- 100000 to $160,000, ,o00) a year, can not see why this would not be fea- sible today" he said. If we furnish the Russians what they need, I am convinced the Russians can deliver to us everything in which we are ia- terested."
 Julius Dorpmueller, minister of transportation, is even now exam ming Polish territory with 8 view to arranging for transport of goods via Poland. He asserted today that railroad connection had been estab- lished over two main lines and that despite a difference between the Russian and German railroad track widths, passage of trains would be possible. Further, Dorpmueller said that every effort was being made to improve canal facilities in Poland.

'StOOges Trying To Disrupt Irish COP .'--McHugh

A very unethical and under handed attempt is being made to use the Irish Republican club as a football by some of the Repub- ncan party wreckers. Tn last nights issue of the local newspa- pers notice appeared that their would be a meeting of the Irish Republican club at Republican club headquarters in the Steele Building and that John McHugh president of the club urged a full attendance. I personally did not call 8 meeting and after con- tacting all the officers of the club find that no officer called meet ing or gave authority to anyone to use either their name or mine in connection with a meeting for tonight. The bylaws of the club read that no meeting can be called unless called by the president other than the priviledge bestowed on the first vice president or the second vice president allowing them to call a meeting when the president is not available but said meeting must be approved by the president If he can be contacted.
 The officers of the club who claim no knowledge of the meet ing tonight and who stated they would not attend 8 meeting un- less legally called are namely John McHugh, president; Morti- mer J. Calvin, first vice president: Mrs. Mary Harmon, second vice president; Eugene Connell, Jr. financial secretary: Peggy Doyle, secretary and Raymond Gibbons, recording secretary. It is the honest opinion of all the officers of the club that some of the stooges of the leadership of the Republican party are attempting to disrupt the Irish Republican club. The able assistance given these stooges by the Pape con- trolled Waterbury Republicans by misrepresenting articles in the paper are being scored by the hundreds of members of the Irish Republican club believing in prin- ciple and good government. For example the Republican printed this morning that John McHugh president of the Irish Republican club stated in the Waterbury Democrat that the club endorsed the candidacy of Vincent A. Scul- ly Democratic candidate for May or. That is a contemptible lie on the part of the reporter pre- senting 1t. I defy anyone to show me any price wrote which states that the club endorsed anyone. I personally endorsed Vincent A.. Scully and stated that I felt 1t an honor and a priviledge and still do. may further state here that have contacted over two hum dred members of the club that feel just as disgusted with the abuse of the principles of the Re- publican party by the present leadership and emphatically stat- ed that they would not support the handpicked ticket presented by MT. Upson and will show their resentment by voting for Vincent A. Scully and will do all in their power to have him elected as mayor of Waterbury to adminis- ter their affairs in an honest and efficient manner.

This again goes to prove that too many men have super visory jobs in the department. I'll go along with the superintendent in any savings he can make as long as the department can still function efficiently"
 Reorganization Policy
 Indicating further that he has been notified of impending changes, the mayor said: If there are any lay offs 1t will be only in line with the policy of reorganization in the street department that has been followed since I took office. The crews which have been working on oiling and tarring streets will soon have to go to other work because of the cold weather. The men can be given other johs, but probably the supervisors can be let go, with a resultant saving to the city"

road and Prospect street, coming to a stop facing in an approximate southeasterly direction at the en. trance to said Maple Hill road and on the southerly shoulder of ProS- pect street. The Nadel car came to a stop at about the middle of the road on Prospect street, within the intersection and facing in vest erly direction.
 Miss Buckley was removed to Wa terbury hospital where she was ad- mitted at 4:45 p. rn., August 29, 1859, and died at said hospital on Sep- tember Il, 1889, at 3:10 a. m. She did not appear to be very badly in- jured but complained of her left hip, left side of her chest and her right shoulder. Three days before her death, she showed evidences of be- ginning pneumonia in the left base and later in the right base. She sus- tained in said automobile collision fractures of the left first, second and sixth ribs and of the right clavicle. The autopsy disclosed the above findings and in addition to that a soft, fiabby heart and mild degree of arterio sclerosis.
 It appears from all the evidence that this fatality might easily have been avoided had both operators eX- ercised the extra caution which the nature of the locality, as above de- scribed, called for. AS to whether Miss Buckley obeyed the stop signs before emerging from East Water bury road there is some conflict in the evidence. Nadel did not alter his speed in passing the above mentioned intersection sign located 259 feet east of said intersection and while he was proceeding at relatively slow speed, all other things considered, he does not appear to have exercised any special caution in view of the warn ing held out by the said intersec- tion sign.
 his conduct as above described
 I am unable to find, however, that amounted to negligence of a gross and criminal nature.
 I find that the death of said Es- ther Buckley was due to fracture of the right clavicle, extravasation of blood anterior and posterior to the sternum, consusion of left leaf of the diaphragm, hemothorax-left, embolus of left lung, beginning pneumonia of left lung base, bron- cho-pneumonia of right lung base, but that said death was not due to the gross and criminal negligence of the operator of the car, the said Mortimer Nadel.

Anna Weritelnik to Make Restitution to St. OIga's
 Society

Anna Weritelnik, 2s, arrested Wednesday on charge of theft of funds from the St. Olga society of which she was secretary, was given a suspended sentence by Judge John L. Gaffney in City Court to- day.
 Attorney Steven Homick, repre- senting the St. Olga society, said that members wished to withdraw charges in view of the fact that res- titution has been made.
 Plea of nolo-contendere was made by George Lynch, counsel for Mrs. Weritelnik, who set forth the back ground of the case, adding that the woman made full restitution with out questioning the sum demanded by the society.
 Prosecuting Attorney Michael j.. Galullo declared that under the

Mortimer Nadel, of 20 Pearl street Waterbury, was absolved of crim- inal responsibility today in a finding by Coroner William B. Hennessy re- garding the automobile death of Es- ther Buckley, 2T, of Prospect, whc was fatally injured Aug. 29 on Pros- pect street, Union City.
 The woman died at the Waterbury hospital on Sept. Il.
 Six witnesses were examined by Coroner Hennessy during the course of his inquest. They were, besides Nadel, Isaac Brown, of Al Cooke street; James Haywood, of East Wa terbury road, Naugatuck; George Kogut, of the Naugatuck police force; Morris Nadel, of 29 Pearl street; and Byron Noble, of East Liberty road, Naugatuck.
 The coroner's finding follows:
 On August 2e, 1939, at about 800 p. m, Daylight Saving Time, Mor- timer Nadel, of 29 Pearl street, Waterbury, was operating his 1883 Chevrolet automobile in 8 westerly direction on the northerly side of Prospect street, in Union City, ap- preaching the intersection there with of the East Waterbury Road, so-called, which latter runs ap- proximately north and south and intersects Prospect street at the northerly side. Prospect street runs approximately east and west.
 Directly opposite the entrance to said East Waterbury road and also running approximately north and south, intersecting Prospect street on the southerly side, is Ma pie Hill road, so-called.
 There are two regulation stop signs on said East Waterbury road at said intersection, one on each corner and facing north.
 Prospect street, at the place men, toned, Is of mixed tar and crushed stone pavement, 90 feet in width and having tar shoulders at each side.
 Riding in the rear seat of the Nadel car at the time were Morris Nadel, father of the operator, and Iscac Brown, an elderly man of 75. Ttye Nadel car was proceeding at a rate of about 25 miles per hour. As the Nadel car approached the said intersection of East Water bury road car operated by Es- ther Buckley, aged 77, of Pros- pect, Connecticut, emerged from said East Waterbury road and ap- peared directly in its path, pro- ceoding across Prospect street. Nadel applied his brakes, which were in good condition, but was ale most upon the Buckley car when the latter appeared in his path as aforesaid, and struck directly against the side of the Buckley car, the front of the Nadel car striking against the door at the left side of the Buckley car. The headlights of Nadel car were shat tered by the impact, and the ra- di&tor grille crushed. The left side of the Buckley car was badly dam aged. The collision occurred at about the middle of Prospect street and within the said intersection. The Buckley car was driven by the force of the collision and its own momentum towards the south- westerly corner of said Maple Hill

APPEAL LOOMS IN
 DECISION ON WILL

An appeal to the superior court may be taken from Judge Patrick Healey's ruling yesterday afternoon admitting the will of William Cleve- land. The document, drawn this year, names Miss Agnes Honora sheehy as sole beneficiary.
 Admission of the will was opposed by Mrs. Margaret Hennessy Finn. a sister, Jaw of the teStator, who was one of the legatees named in a will drawn in 1888. It was claimed that MT. Cleveland was not in good health when the 1889 will was drawn.
 Evidence in the contest was heard by Judge Healey Monday, and his decision came after arguments by counsel for both sides.

states, completely distorts the es- sence of the Soviet proposals and circulates in this connection tales and provocations of every descrip- ton. The Finland government has taken 8 number of emergency meas- ures comprehensible only when a country is preparing for war by evacuating its urban populations, mobilizing its reservists and re- organizing its industry to serve war needs.
 "On the very next day after Mo- lotov's speech, which fully clari- fled the position of Soviet-Finnish negotiations, Finland's Minister of Foreign Affairs Errko made 8 speech which cannot be appraised otherwise than as an appeal for war with the U. s. s. R."
 Parallel Is Drawn
 Pravda quoted from Errkos speech in which he said that the Soviet proposals were unacceptable and then drew the parallel between Errko and Beck.
 "Errko with his warlike harangue did not remain alone" the news paper said. "A similar campaign was launched in the Swedish press"
 Pravda then quoted at length from editorials in Swedish newspa- pers saying that Finland's only ans wer to Russia could be mo" and as- serting that Russian demands on Finland also endangered Scandina- vian independence.
 "When Molotov says that the So- viet Union does not intend to exert pressure on Sweden and Norway we have no grounds to dispute this statement but we also know that sooner or later the course of events will prepare for such pressure" Pra- vada said.
 It asserted that under the Czarist government in Russia Finland was in full submission to Russia and Russia had all Finnish ports and islands at her disposal.
 Sweden Is Querried
 "Why then" Pravada asks, did not the Swedish politicians at that time speak and shout about the danger of this arrangement for Scandinavia? What is the matterP
 The matter is that in this case these Swedish politicians act on the orders of their bosses in the west. Certain quarters in the west are against insuring the security of the U. s. s. R. in the Gulf of Finland and their subordinates in Sweden are obliged to play with loaded dice to please their bosses. That is the whole matter.
 Well, and what about us? What about the Soviet people? How should we react to this false hulla- baloo?
 "our reply is simple and clear. We will throw to the devils all the games of the political gamblers and tread our own way despite every thing. We will insure the security of the U. s. s. R. without regard to anything, breaking all and every obstacle on the way to our goal"

 The sen-Zeitung, commenting os the House voted. noted the con- trast between the United States att titude in 1886 and now.
 It said:--
 , "Anglo-French satisfaction over the development of the uncompro- missing peace president of l936 into the president of the 1889 Pittman bill, makes it clear why the Ameri- can people are anxious about Roose- velt's movement toward the path on which his predecessor Woodrow Will son began with a similar protesta- ton of peace, only later to place America at the disposal fo English imperialism"
 May Impede War Munitions
 Nazis seemed to have hope that they could impede materially. if not stop, the flow of war materials to Europe from the United States. Their submarine successes have been ex- tensively publicized in Germany. They claim officially the Sinking of 115 merchant vessels, totaling 475,- 900 tons, since the war started, and say that including shl s believed to have been sunk but not ofilcially au- thenticated the total is probably much larger.
 Further, despite loss of fife fl numerous attacks, it is the Nazi ar gument that they have not yet, il this war, started unrestricted U-boa warfare.
