strength of their airplanes, and tanks as compared with those made by the Russians. The Germans and Italians also learned about the kind of guns needed to stop and destroy a tank.
 In recent months the German army has had some tests which are far more valuable than even large-scale maneuvers where the Red Army" fights the Blue Army in mock warfare. German officers put to practical trial the lessons they had learned about swift mobili- zation and movement. They did it when they invaded Austria and grabbed that country. They did it again last October when they rushed into the Sudetenland. They have just done 1t again in their march in Bohemia and Moravia.
 GERMAN ARMY GOT
 EXPERIENCE PLUS BOOTY But this last maneuver was far more than 8 practice march. It was a seizure of booty unexampled in times of so-called peace. It made the Germans the masters of Czecho- slovakia's great Skoda munitions works with its 50000 skilled work men and their ability to turn out enormous cannon, howitizers and mortars, the equals of any in the world.
 Then there are the Zbrouska fac tories in Brno which make the superior Bren machine guns. In addition there are 25 other factories which make guns and cannon and which make tanks and armored vehicles. As the Czech army is be- ing disarmed, there will fall into the hands of the German military forces both the complete equipment and the reserve material for 40 divisions. plus about 1,5oo military airplaneS.

I tor Patrolman John Walsh. The answer was in the affirmative.
 'There are a number of gray cars in Waterbury," inquired MT. Korff, politely. Again, "Yes," was the off, cer's reply.
 The state had sought to show that the car seized by police after Gold mans arrest at a Watertown ave- nue restaurant, subsequently brought to police headquarters, had tinges of red paint from the hy- drant; that the hydrant had dash of gray, (from the same car.)
 The officers testified to finding a pint bottle half full in Goldman's possession, told the court that Gold man had identified the car in front of the restaurant as his own.
 They testified, too, in specific questioning of each officer by Attor- ney Korff, that Goldman was "very abusive"
 The defense counsel addressed the court.
 Abuses Policeman
 "Your honor, my client is man who can't take more than two or three drinks" he prefaced his re- marks. "When he does, and 1t has happened only two or three times in the years I've known him, he has a peculiar obsession. He is very abu- sive to policemen"
 Lawyers, police and the defend- ant hid shy smiles at this confes- sion.
 "Is he employed?" inquired Judge Conway, interrupting at this junc- ture.
 "He was in business until about a year ago when he sold his con- cern and since has been looking about for an investment" the de- fense counsel explained.
 "Well, he probably will invest something right here," the judge vouchsafed.
 "We admit that he was abusive and had had too much to drink" said MT. Korff. But there is nothing to indicate that he was driving the car, in question"
 The court agreed and dismissed the charges of operating under the influence, evdaing responsibility and reckless driving; fined the Monroe man in search of investment, $l0 costs on the drunkenness count, SIS on the breach of the peace, for a total of $3680, which was paid. ,~
