BERLIN STARTS
 TREASON TRIAL
(ContiIlued from Page 1)

charged with aiding him In lead- ership of a reasonable Nazi move- ment were put on trial in secret this morning. It was understood that during the first few hours the court heard the personal testimony of the three defendants. An official told the United Press that he ex- pected the trial of all g principals to last only two or three days.
 Trial Starts Early
 Originally the trial of N,ekisch and the other principals was set for next week At a conference at the ministry of justice yesterday. however, officials for some reason decided to start 1t today.
 It was decided also that the trial should be in two parts. Niekisch and two others were selected as the first defendants, charged with lead- ership in the alleged treason plot. Nineteen others are to be tried later. Less serious charges, such as preparing hand bills attacking Adolf Hitler, cabinet ministers and other prominent Nazis, are to be consid- cred first. Then the court is to con- slider charges that Niekisch and his alleged supporters plotted reign of terror as part of which they pre- pared to make attempts on the lives of leading government officials.

against which he has been hurling possibly 300,000 men.
 Powerful squadrons of Nationalist airplanes hammered at the Loyalist lines to clear way for tanks as the offensive was resumed tnis morning with the insurgents only four miles from one of their most important immediate objectives-the main road from Grandsea via Falset to Tarra- gona on the Mediterranean coast.
 Main Action
 The main action appeared to be centered on the right or southern wing of the 70-mile Catalonian front although Loyalist advices said @ gerce battle also had been underway for "A hours on the north or left wing sector where the insurgents were vainly battering at the defenses of Artesa de Segre.
 On the southern front the Franco armies were striking along a sec ondary road today Ulldemolins in an effort to cut the Lerido-Tarra- gona highway and along another road to the south via La Figuera in the direction Of Falset, on the main Grandesa- -Tarragona highway.
 The southern advance was viewed by the insurgents as more impor- tant because, their dispatches said, 1t demonstrated how Franco was methodically cutting through to the main roads from where he would be in position to strike at Tarragona and Barcelona.

war. held life membership today in the Hartford club.
 Members of the club adopted a resolution declaring that the gov- ernor had dignified our club by making it virtually the governors mansion during his eight-year ad- ministration.
 By this action" the resolution said, "the Hartford club cordially invites him to use the club as his own house, and have for monie how great and how little varietie of vit- tels and what other service he shall think expedient to call for, and have clean sheets to lie in wherein no man hath been lodged since they came from the laundresse, and have a ser vante to kindle his fire, and one to pull of his boots and make them clean, and to eat with his hoste or at a private table if he pleases, or to eat in his chamber, commanding what meat and drink he will according to his appetite. Yea, all the faculties of the club are at your command including the bar, and especially the kitchen is open to him in order the meat be dressed as he liketh it best"
 In response to the honor the gov- ernor told members T return to the old life, but 1t is in reality a new life. There is no actual return to the past. Mans life is whole. There can be no question about that. I re- turn to the old life, but it will always be under the subconscious influence of the past eight years"
 Last Official Act
 Hartford, Conn, Jan. 3.-1n what was probably the last official act of his four-term administration, Gov. Wilbur L. Cross today appointed Wilmarth s. Lewis, Pennington, as a member of the state commission of sculpture.
 He succeeds George Dudley Sey- mour, New Haven, who has been president of the commission.
 The governor accepted with great regret" the resignation of Oliver Els worth. Hartford, chairman of the otlVC bSNtAa SA AAoAlCll lCo hllu kdIIle.
 His successor will be named by the incoming governor who takes the oath of office tomorrow.
 No Assistant Supts.
 Hartford, Conn, Jan. 3.-CUP)- As an economy measure, Gov Elect Raymond E. Baldwin announced to- day there would be no assistant su- perintendent named to assist the 1899 General Assembly, which opens tomorrow.
 In the 1899 session, there were 16 assistant superintendents. They as- sisted in opening doors, carrying messages, aiding committees. They also put in for their mileage.
 Attorney Rag0 Named
 Hartford, Conn, Jan. 3.-(UP)- Attorney Nicholas F. Rago, former police court prosecutor, today was appointed deputy state attorney gen. eral by Attorney General-E Elect Francis A. Pallotti.

Along the Fronts

Burgas, Spain, Jan. 3-(UP)-Na- tionalist military headquarters an- nounced today that their armies had advanced to the right bank of the Sgere river, within rifle range of the strategic city of Artesa. The fall of Artesa is imminent" the announce ment said.
 The Nationalist announcement, as- serting that General Francisco Franco's troops continued to push forward on all fronts, reported that the rst division of red-capped Navar- rese had battered their way through Loyalist lines to the Segre.
 Other trops, the dispatch said, captured the villages of Rubio Abajo, Rubio de Medic and Rubio de Ar riba, continuing their advance along the left bank of the river toward Artesa.
 (Other insurgent dispatches to the frontier said that Artesa had been encircled by Franco troops).
 Nationalist h adquarters an- nounced that seven tanks had been captured and 80 Loyalist planes shot down since the offensive started. Probably 20 other planes were de- stroyed but landed behind the gov- ernment lines, the announcement said. Capture of ten more villages brought the total to 50, headquarters said.

General Assembly Not Completely Organized
Continued from Page 1)

Representative T. Emmett Clarie Killingly.
 In the Senate:
 Republican president pro tenn pore: Senator Charles Arrigoni Durham. Senator Cornelius Moy- Ian, Hartford, may be a candidate for this rost or for leader, although Senator Anthony J. Rich, Bristol appeared assured of leadership choice.
 Democratic president pro tenn: Senator Pierre J. Laramee, Willi- mantle.
 Democratic leader: Senator Joseph B. Downes, Norwich.
 Both Republican representatives and senators will meet in their tra- ditional caucuses tonight at the State Capitol. Nominations will be made for clerk, assistant clerk, doorkeepers, superintendents, mes sengers, and other patronage jobs connected with organization of the assembly.
 Judge Stanley Traceski, New Bri- tain, was scheduled for Senate clerk. He was House clerk in 1885.
 The Democratic candidate for Senate clerk was Deputy Secretary of State J. Walter Darley, Haddam, who retires tomorrow
 h the House, Judge Traceskt also may be named for clerk by the Re- publicans, assuring him of job if he fails to get the Senate clerkship. William P. Averill, Hartford, son of former Deputy Attorney General Ernest L. Averill, was a candidate for the the House job.
 AS soon as organization of both chambers is completed, word will be flashed to the Hartford Club, where Governor Elect Baldwin, his mili- tary staff, retiring Governor Cross, the two executive secretaries, new and retiring state officials, and others will be waiting.
 Then the traditional inaugural parade through the streets of Hart ford will begin. The famous Gov ernor's Foot Guard Band will pre- cede the procession, followed by the brilliantly-clothed Governors Foot guard. On a white horse, Major George Sturges, cammandant of the Guard, will head the parade.
 The pomp and pageantry of the parade will extend to the State Cap itol. There Governor Elect Baldwin and Governor Cross will enter the executive chambers to await a no- tification committee from the As sembly's joint session.
 Governor elect Baldwin then will be sworn by Supereme Court Chief Justice William M. Maltbie and will give his inaugural address. Other new state officials will be sworn.
 At night, the Governors ball, one of the most brilliant and exclusive affairs of the social season, will be held in the State Armory.

1 the New Deal. The congressional war will be fought along that line.
 There are 69 Democrats, g Re- publicans, two Farmer-Laborites, and one Progressive and one Inde- pendent in the Senate, and 261 Democrats, 169 Republicans, two Pregressives, one Farmer-Laborite, and one American Laborite in the House. One seat in the House is vacant, for a Democratic distric. The New Deal-Democratic party as ripped by dissension. Vice-Pres- ident Garner had become the mas ter mind rather than spokesman of the Conservatice Democratic bloc which was determined to modify the New Deal in the next two years, re- gain its large voice in party affairs and in 1940 nominate compara- lively conservative candidate for president.
 Major Issues
 Major issues confronting this new Congress includes:
 1. Amendment of the National Labor Relations Act to give em- ployers more secure standing be- fore the labor board. 2. Relief economy and some de- gree of decentralizing relief author ity and responsibility among the states.
 3. Reconsideration of the govern ment reorganization bill rejected by Congress last session.
 1. Extension of unemployment benefits to domestics, seamen and others now exempt and liberaliza- tion of old age pension legislation to checi. political pensioners.
 5. Reconsideration of Agricul- tural legislation in view of major crop surpluses and low prices.
 6. Railroad reorganization and resuscitation.
 2. Big scale national defense to cost upwards of $1 300, ,000, 900 annu- ally.
 8. Changes in neutrality legis- lation to give the president greater discretion in dealing with aggressor states; or other legislation to en- able the United States to make its might more efeftcive in the world struggle between demorracies and Relationships.
 g. The budget, taxes and econ- omy.
 Wagner Act Faces Fight The National Labor Relations (Wagner) Act may be the political barometer of the new Congress. The first skirmish is scheduled early in committee and Senate consideration of the confirmation for another term of labor board member, Donald Wakefield Smith. Anti-New Dealers, or some of them, hope to defeat Smiths confirmation. They will have assistance of Senate votes re- sponsive to American Federation of Labor pressure.
 The AFL contends that Smith favored the Congress for Industrial Organization in labor board decis- ions.
