 chief accountant for the state in the trial is likewise, not reckoned. Of the $77,81246 expended, $54,- 721.44 was spent in the grand jury investigation, and the balance of $23, 3,091 .02 for the 52 days of trail to date. The state spent $lO,701 so alone in the impanelling of, the jury of 12 and two alternates.
 HighIights of Bills
 Highlights of the bills approved today are the $1,36960 to the IA jurors for 16 days of attendance, including February l, to February A, and January 31. They also in- clude a list of s1,759.65, including payments to guardians of the evil dence, $1915 to the Heublein res- taurant, Hartford, for meals of Special Prosecutor Alcorn and party, and $925.17 to the Pinkerton Na- tional Detective Agency. | Many bills to the Pinkerton agency have been approved, indicating that the state has relied on that depart ment in various phases of the inves- tigation. The latest bills were dated September 30 and December 31, 1888.
 There were also items today of $7 to Rose & Morton for desk and chair, $2O to the Dictaphone Corp, for rental of dictating and tram scribing machines. Many bills were payable to the sheriffs who daily attend the trial
 The Elton's bill, dated March 16, was for $1,596. 16, including rooms and board for the Alcorn staff and $2e6.0O for meals for the jury. There were also records of payment to the Central Parking Station and the Waterbury Troy Steam laundry.
 Waterbury's probate court re- ceived $20.50 for certified copies of papers connected with the estate of the late Francis J. Fruin, head of the Connecticut Supply Co.
 Judge Inglis refused to admit as evidence the inventory of the estate of F'ruin.
 Payments to the stenographerS: Florence Eccles, $970; Raymond w. Smith, $1 1,276.00; and Austin Phelps, $801.10 another item of $98 to Miss Eccles, indicated the cost of record ing the evidence.
 That the trial, still in its early stages, will cost the state well into the hundreds of thousands of dol- lars, is an accepted conclusion.
 To date, the state has called ex- actly 25 witnesses, and it was un- derstood that at the start of the presentation of evidence, more than 50 witnesses had been subpoenaed by the state. Twenty-nine sessions of court have been given over to the hearing of evidence from the 25 witnesses.

Poland Plays Safe Game

FOlan0 flayS Sa1e Game
 Warsaw, Poland, March 24-(UP) Authoritative political sources de- clared today that Poland would de- cline to participate in the British sponsored "stop Hitler" front. Official announcement in regard to Poland's attitude was delayed but well-informed sources left little question as to the decision of the Warsaw government on replying to Britain's proposal for united front declaration against aggression.
 Britain, France and Soviet Russia already had agreed on the declara- tion but it was uncertain whether they would go ahead without Polish participation.
 An authoritative explanation of the Polish position was that this government is Fundamentally op- posed to creation of political blocs." 1"
 "In Poland we do not have very high estimate of words, declara- tions and announcements" 8 for- eign office spokesman said in ref erence to Poland's demand that Britain, France and Russia give strong military guarantees If they want Polish participation.
 Poles have been highly skeptical of whether the western democracieS would provide military aid in time of need as a result of what has hap pened in Central Europe.
 ''If we are attacked, we will fight with all our power," 1t was asserted in responsible quarters. we have an alliance with France requiring that France come to the aid of Po- land if we are attacked. That is enough.
 we will see how that works out. The main thing is that Poland is determined to strike with all her power if attacked. We do not need any written declaration to that ef- feet"
 Bratislava, Slovakia, March 24- (UP)-Military dispatches today re. ported Hungarian troops had abandoned plans for a new attack on Slovakian forces and were be- ginning to retire from Slovak soil A truce existed along the entire Slovak frontier after an invasion by Hungarian troops which clasheo with defense forces at three points and, an official military dispatch said, were repulsed after suffering casualties.
 The appeal of Slovakian officials to Adolf Hitler was believed to have paved the way for peaceful settle. ment of the incident in which the Hungarians were understood to bt seeking to seize 15-mile deep bor. der area. German military officials were said to have urged the Slo- vakians to delay a counter-attacl scheduled for this morning in order to give Hungarians an opportunity to retire.
 The result was believed in off cial sources here to mean the enc of Hungarian plans for taking more Slovak territory but the final out. come presumably will depend or Berlin.

 Secrecy surrounded the peace conference which ended at noon. No one was permitted near the locked door of the conference room on the 10th floor of Hotel Biltmore.
 Local Strike Ends
 Two local truck terminals re- mained idle and under guard of picketing truck strikers today, and there were no new developments in the Waterbury situation. Ap- proximately 60 drivers are out, tying up more than 30 trucks in two local terminals of the J. J. Mccarthy Company and the Consolidated Motor Lines, Inc.
 The other company affected by the general state strike, the Adley Express Company. was not operating and trucks in Waterbury. The com pany has no local terminal.
 No disturbances were reported, and Rudolph M. Tata, business agent for the truckers here, reported that the situation was at status quo." Foods and perishables are not being held up, but 1t is under stod that there are no such articles to be moved.
 Slight effect of the strike was felt by shippers and manufacturers, although shipments entrusted to the strike-bound terminals before the strike started. were returned to the factories yesterday. Other means of shipment will be undertaken.

 Advent of New Forces
 Advent of stronger foreign poli- cy-use of point No. 2 economic force-was seen in the application of countervailing duties against German goods entering this country, cancellation of all trade concessions granted under the Czechoslovak re- ciprocal trade treaty, and increasing signs of greater cooperation with the European democracies.
 Observers saw in these moves a basis for their belief that MT. Roose- welt and his advisers feel that naval strength has been so far rehabili- tated that this government now can risk something other than moral pressure.
 May Hit Japan Also
 Since those economic steps have been taken against Germany, hints have been permitted to leak from several sources that similar eco- homie pressure might be applied against Japan to compel respect for

WITHHOLDS ACTION

Hartford, Conn.,, March 31.-(UP) The legislative motor vehicles com mittee today withheld action on bill placing small truck operators under licensed control of the state public utilities commission.
 The PUG now controls truck op- orators engaged in business between cities, but this bill would regulate operators with business limited to territories containing no more than 10000 populatino.
 Representatives of various motor truck associations approved the bill, while individual operators opposed 1t.
 'The local truckman is out of business now and he doesn't know it, poor fellow" Daniel Mahoney, Bridgeport operator, told the com- mittee at hearing. "Now you want to regulate him. I don't low what will happen to him."

FEMALEs CAUSED TIT

Hartford, Conn.,, March 24.-(UP) The feminine demand for fur coats was blamed today for the pre- valence of matters shakes" among the Danbury hat makers.
 The legislatures judiciary con- mittee was told that the long-hair- ed portions of rabbit pelts were be- ing processed to produce imitation furs, leaving only the short-haired areas for the hat industry to be transformed into felt.
 This is done by brushing the pelt with a mercury mixture, which causes mercurial poisoning, or "hat- ters shakes, with which 25 per cent O. that hat workers were declared affected.
 John J. Egan, secretary of the Connecticut Federation of Labor, asked the committee to repeal a waiver clause in the workmen's compensation act so that persons suffering from this ailment might obtain benefits. At the present time, he said, employees avoid liability in hiring persons with physical defects and the waiver has been abused"
 The committee took the sugges- ton under advisement.
