 Off Here This Morning
They Will Quit Their Jobs at End of Work Hours To- day-Welfare Dept. Fears That Real Elmer.
 gency Will Be Created Here

Waterbury faced @ relief emer- gency today as 300 wPA employees were given notices of dismissal, af- fective at the end of the working day. Further lay-offs will be made until an uno. -icially estimated total of 300 to HOO WPA workers are without jobs. The notices came with only Q days warning, the belief un- til yesterday having been that nc lay-offs would be made until Aug 3l.
 WPA employees this afternoon claimed that the number dismissed today was nearer 500 than 300, and said that a number of projects in the city were virtually shut down for lack of man-power.
 Welfare department officials fear ed that a grave situation might de- velop, with the department already being hard-pressed for funds to carry on its regular relief work with out assuming the additional bur- dens that will now result.
 Officially 30 Days
 The lay-offs are officially for 30 days, but red tape will mean that In most cases 1t will be months be- fore they will be restored to the work relief rolls. The lay-off order affects all WPA employees who have been on the rolls for 18 mcrths or more, the only ones excepted being war veterans.
 The cut in the wPA employment rolls is the result of law passed

GREAT BRITAIN
 PRACTICES WAR
Thousands of Men on Night Shift Called Out;
 Big Parade in France
By FREDERICK KUH United Press Staff Correspondent)

London, July 14-(UP)--Great Britain's vital war industries in the rich midlands area operated under war conditions for four hours today during a gigantic "black out" test of anti-aircraft defenses. At midnight, air raid sirens shrieked in the IT Midlands counties in which tens of thousands of men were working the night shifts in hundreds of factories now devoted to building an armament unprecedent- ed in peace time. As the signals sounded, air force planes, some sirn- ulating raiders, others defenders took off from fields throughout the area. Air raid precaution units in cities and villages hurried to their posts. Fire department, ambulance, gas decontamination and other unts got into action.
 Cities Protected Fast
 In such cities as Birmingham, Sheffield and Leeds, defense units of the night shifts quickly screened windows, turned out ordinary lights, turned on special yellow lights for closeup work and blue lights for ceilings, and screened the glowing aperatures of chimneys and blast furnaces. .,
 Air raid precaution squads operat- ing from secret headquarters direct- ed air raid wardens, auxiliary fire men, ambulance workers and gas decontamination squads in their work as dummy bombs were ex- ploded.
 The test was continued until 4 @. m.
 An official check up was reported to have shown that the obscuration of factories was 08 per cent effective at distance of one yard and 100 per cent at 10 yards.
 This was the second of three great air raids tests. The first was held in southern England; the third and biggest will be held August 9 when 28 counties including London will be in the blackout.
 U. s. Bombing Plane ArriveS
 A little while after this mornings test ended, 8 bombing plane which had flown from the United States where 1t was built, landed at Felix stowe airport, an hour ahead of schedule, to undergo its final tests.

He Edited Reports of Enoch Borgnaes Relative
 to Audits of City READS PORTIONS OF
 IT ALL MORNING Prosecutor AlcOrn to Cross Examine Him Late
 This Afternoon
BY JOSEPH P. DONAHUE Democrat Staff Reporter)

John w. Meany, AZ, of Bogota, New Jersey, second member of the George H. Kingsley accounting firm to take the witness stand in the Waterbury conspiracy trial, today denied that he had any knowledge of any wrong doing on the part of anyone in the city of Water- bury.
 As chief accountant for the Kings. ley firm, and owner of five per cent interest in the partnership Meany said that he had edited res ports of Enoch Borgnaes, who super4 vised audits of the books of the City of Waterbury.
 For two and three-quarters hours in the morning session today, he read without cessation, the portions of the audit reports for 1892, 1883, 1884, 1885 and 1886, as prepared or changed by him. He also read por- tion of the 1887 audit report. Changes Were Made Changes in the pencilled reports were made to make them more cor1- plete and detailed, Meany said, as he read to the jury the details of the changes and additions be had made. Borgnaes was consulted be- fore every change was made, the testimony related.
 Special Prosecutor Hugh M. Alcorrl is expected to cross examine the wit- ness, the third defendant to take the stand in the interest of acquittal, late this afternoon. No early recess was in view, despite the fact that to- days session marks the end of arl- other week of the trial.
 If time permits, it is expected that Leo Frankel Of Paterson, New Jersey, 0. P. A., lawyer and teacher will take the stand in defense of the Kingsley accounting methods. Jo- seph Thieberg, member of the New Jersey accounting board of exam. iners, was also in the courtroom to. day, and may take the stand.
 Meany Stnl at It
 At the noon recess, Meany was reading off the portions of the 1937 audit report which he had corrected and the additions he had made. The state contends that the audit re- ports were made false and mis- leading" and that the Kingsley firm was paid city money for services not performed.
 Meany contends that the additions he made to the reports were merely to improve it. George H. Kingsley, senior member of the firm, said yes- terday that all money received from the city was justly earned.
 Experts Coming
 Expert accountants who spent much of their time here during the presentation of the states case, re- turned to the courtroom today, pre- pared to take the stand in the de- fense of Kingsley and Meany. De- fense counsel have indicated that about half dozen of the experts, some of national prominence, will take the stand to defend the meth. ods employed by the Kingsley firm.

|Sunken Submarine Has
 Slipped From Pontoons
Diver Will Go Down in 40 Fathoms of Water to See What Damage Is Done-Squalus Almost in
 Sight When Cables Broke

Portsmouth, N. H., July IA - (U, PA navy diver was to be sent 40 fathoms down in the North Atlan- tic today to determine what dam age was wrought when the sunken submarine Squalus, third of the way up from its watery grave, sud- denly slipped its nloorings and plummeted back to the ocean floor yesterday.
 From his report salvage experts will learn how much of the 52 days of painstaking work must be re- traced. Yesterdays mishap came just as officials were congratulating themselves on the successful con- clusion of the first step of the navy's most difficult salvage job.
 The bow itself shot out of the ocean in acauldron of froth, hung there for five awful seconds and then disappeared. Twenty-one sal- wage workers who had left in two whale boats to secure pontoons es- capped death or injury by only few yards.
 After a preliminary Investigation from the surface, Rear-Admiral Cy- rus w. Cole of Portsmouth Navy Yard, directing salvage operations, said he believed the Squalus sank on an even keel with two chains still looped under the stern. Many of the air hose connections still remained fast, alos.
 Fear Matches Ripped Open
 But whether the force of the sinking damaged the hull will not be known until the diver makes his report. Some feared that hatches, valves and water-tight compart- ments had ben ripped open, since water pressure at that depth is 109 pounds a square inch.
 Damaged pontoons and a tangle of severed cables and air hose mark ed the spot where the Squalus made It's second dive to the bottom. It sank originally may g with loss of 26 of its 59 officers and crew-mem- berS.
 Two of the five pontoons attach ed to chains looped under the stern were believed to have remained fast and sunk with the submarine. The other three attached to the stern along with two looped about the

JAPANESE RIOT
 AGAINST BRITISH
l5,OOO Massed in Front of British Embassy in
 TokiO Today
BY H. o. THOMPSON limited Press Staff COrrespOndent

(Umntcu fFcSS 6tdhh OUrHesPUfhucutJ
 Tokyo, July 14-(UP) - Fifteen thousand persons massed before the British embassy today, hurried mis- siles and Japanese flags into the grounds and shouted anti-British epithets. It was called the biggest anti-foreign demonstration in recent Japanese history.
 The demonstration was held as Foreign Minister Hachiro Arita and Sir Robert Craigie, British ambas- sador, consulted over the program for negotiations on the Japanese blockade of the British and French concessions at Tientsin.
 A foreign office spokesman an- nounced that the government was not involved and that the demon- stration was spontaneous. Other, well informed sources said that the anti- British movement was fully

war, and that Berlin had asked Rome to avoid the appearance of acting only against the German minority.
 AS result a sweeping order was issued to rid the popular tourist zone of foreigners while the prob- lem of the German minority was settled.
 Although official sources have said the expulsion was due to dis covery of espionage activities by British and French elements, 1t was pointed out that the German mi- nority question in South Tyrol has been a long-standing problem which Premier Benito Mussolini became particularly eager to solve after cre- ation of the Rome-Berlin Axis.
 Future of German Citizens
 The government was understood to desire to remove all traces of Ire dentist headaches that might be caused by a desire of German resi- dents in the Tyrol for return to the Reich. Therefore, 1t was said in reliable sources, Italy invited the German government to inaugurate conversations toward an agreement regarding the future of German speaking citizens who had lived always around the gateway between the two countries.
 12,000 Foreigners
 There are some 12,000 foreigners in the region, including about 10000 Germans who now are returning to the Reich. There are about 100000 German-speaking Italians. Many of these may be forced to migrate to other parts of Italy.
 Although 1t was said that the Nazis desired to have all foreigners expelled during the period of read justment, 1t was understood that those other than Germans would be allowed more than the original 48- hour period in which to depart, es- pecially if they found 1t difficult to leave so quickly.
 It also was expected that Ameri- CdLi, oWioob DdtSi, soSoAiN"Ao'ioA and French property owners who have been told to settle their affairs within a reasonable time will in most cases be eprmitted to remain in the Tyrol or to return later.
 The Tyrol always has been one of the most valuable tourist centers and about one-fourth of its total in- come comes from that trade.
