 Still Held in London

Detroit, June 7-(UP)-Immigra- tion authorities today held Sean Russell, Irish Republican army chief of staff, incommunicado for hearing on a deportation warrant. Russell's lecture tour companion, Joseph Mo- Garrity of Philadelphia, maintained that their arrival here yesterday shortly before King George and Queen Elizabeth arrived at nearby Windsor, Ont, was purely coinci- dental" McGarrity was not arrested. We had no intention of going to Windsor he said. After all, the king hadn't invited us."
 Russell, two weeks ago, had told a San Fracisco audience that "a state of war exists" between Ireland and Britain. He was quoted there as as- serting that he ordered the recent IRA bombings in England. Later he said the bombings, in which no one has been killed, were ordered by the IRA as military measure.
 Under Surveillance
 At the request of Scotland Yard Russell had been under surveillance since he entered the United States April 15. He was jailed here Monday night on a charge of entering the country on an improper passport. John l.. Zubrick, head of the Detroit

Bremen Battle Blaze Near Turpentine anks
Quality Paint Co. Plant z60 South Main Street. Was Threatened -Firemen Avert Explosion By
 Fast, Speedy Work

Firemen narrowly averted a ter rife explosion as they courageously fought and extinguished fire that ragged perilously close to huge tanks of turpentine in the cellar of the Quality Paint Co and the plumbing shop at 269 South Main street shortly before 10:30 o'clock this morning. A large crowd packed the scene happily unaware that the front of the building might have at any moment exploded in their curi- ous faces.
 The fire was discovered by Aaron Marshak, manager of the shop, and he quickly sent his boy to the street. The lad yelled to Patrolman Jo- seph Sullivan who relayed the yell to Patrolman Denny Lynch standing at the corner of South Main and Grand streets. Denny rang in the corner alarm. When Engines 2, 3, 4, Trucks and arrived at the scene together with the booster of Engine 10, pail of choking, dark brown smoke was pouring out of the cellar and raising blinding curtain along the front of the shop.
 Anything Could Happen
 As Deputy Chief Martin J. Cam pion put it later Anything might have happened" The cellar of the store. where the fire originated from an undetermined cause, was con- gested with tanks of alcohol, linseed oil, turpentine and other inflam- mables. and the blaze which had made considerable headway, was eat- ing along the woodwork over the huge turpentine tanks stored at the very front of the cellar. When the f1remen finally checked the blaze matter of inches separated the tanks from the burned woodwork, and the metal containers were already hot.
 Private Griffin Warns All
 Private Jerry Griffin, aware that the building might have blown up at any moment, nevertheless went

 Aboard Royal Pilot Train En Route to United States June '. .- (UP) = Scotland Yard took additional precau. tions today to guard King George and Queen Elizabeth as they began the last leg o1 the trip through Canada to the United States. Inspector Albert Canning, chief of the special branch which Scotland Yard detailed to the King and Queen joined the entourage aboard the royal train for the first time. He will be with them constantly as they greet welcoming crowds along the route through lower Ontario to Niagara Falls.
 Previously, Canning had attached himself to the pilot train with news paper correspondents and lesser members of the royal encourage.
 We do not feel any unusual trepi- dation about the security of the sov- ereigns while in the United States he said. we feel confident of the ability of the police in the United States to take care of everything.
 All precautions already have been taken and we feel there is no more probability of incidents in the United States than elsewhere"
 Remains By Royalty
 Nevertheless, the fact he intends to remain at their Majesties' sides during the trip was taken to indi- cate that Canning would be extra ordinarily watchful, particularly in

The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-06-07

Waterbury is one of IA cities and towns in the state on which Demo- cratic and Republican conferees were unable to agree. No further con- ferences were scheduled today and only near-miracle, or bit of legis- lative maneuvering could result in city court appointments in the Brass City being made before adjourn ment. ..
 Local Legislators Busy
 Senators George T. Culhane and Edward Egan of Waterbury and Senator Claude Badger of Wolcott played prominent roles in the sen- ate's last session today as bills were passed, killed and tabled with aban- don. Representatives Daniel Ma nancy and Hugo Guastaferri of Wa terbury and Martin Whalen of Wolcott engaged in the last-day debates in the house.
 Senator Culhane last night suc- ceeded in having his Waterbury com- mon pleas court bill called back from the expressing clerk. A substi- tute bill, clarifying several obscure sections of the original bill, was then adopted.
 Representative Mahaney In Battle
 In the house today, Representa- tive Mahaney, as a member of the appropriations committee, fought against last minute moves for ex- penditures not approved by the committee.
 A bill providing for biennial elec- tions in the Town of Watertown, reported favorably by cities and bor- oughs committee, was passed in the house.
 Senator Badger won a victory when the house reconsidered its former action and approved an amended bill for inspection of beer pipe systems. In its amended form, the measure provides that such in spections shall be made once week. Senator Badger is chairman of the public health committee, which ap- proved the bill.
 The senate voted to table a bill which would allow any city or town in the state to hold a referendum on the establishment of merit sys- tems.
 The governors office is being be- sieged with recommendations of various aspirants for the Waterbury judgeships, and it probably will be some days after adjournment before the executive announces his choices.

REFUGEES MEET
 WITH HARD LUCK
Sail Back and Forth Near Cuba-NOw Are Prob
 ably Losing Hope
By LAWRENCE S. HAAS

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Havana, Cuba, June 7-(UP)- Rep. Pedro Mendieta, chairman of the house immigration committee, demanded investigation of the status of all political refugees in Cuba to- day as the German steamship St. Louis, carrying 907 despairing Ger man Jews refused haven here, radioed that it was bound for Europe"
 Mendieta announced that he would ask President Federico Laredo Bru today to investigate fully the status of thousands of refugees now in Cuba, and in cases where their residence permits had expired, to send them to Tiscornia immigration sattion for deportation.
 At the same time Mendieta an- nounced that he would oppose vigor- ously the entrance of any further refugees to Cuba.
 His stand was taken from the eco- homie viewpoint, he said, because Cuba could not absorb any more refugees.
 5000 to Be Affected
 It was estimated that about 5000 Jewish refugees alone would be af- fected by any investigation such as that which Mendieta proposed. Refugee societies continued to urge the government to admit the St. Louis refugees.
 But Capt. Wilhelm Schroeder, master of the German ship, advised the Tropical radio station at Miami Fla, late last night that he was go- ing back to Europe. A few hours before he had wirelessed Tropical that he was returning to Havana. Presumably the governments firm stand against admission of the St. Louis refugees caused him to change his mind.
 Offer Was Withdrawn President Laredo Bru had with drawn yesterday his offer of a tem- porary haven for the St. Louis refu- gees and authorized the announce fnent that none would be permitted to land. Government sources said Icontinued on Page q
