doubtless would be nomination of a

SEAN RUSSELL AT
 N. Y. MASS MEETING
Says IRA Prevents Loss of Life in Their Bombings
 in England

New York, June 16-tUP)-Sean Russell, Irish Republican army chief of-staff, told a mass meeting last night that the IRA had been careful to prevent loss of life in the bomb- ings in England but If any man is executed in England for an act of the IRA, we can't give any assur- ance that we will continue to take such care"
 The bombings will continue, he said, "as long as there are any Irish men in any English jail"
 Russell was arrested in Detroit on the eve of the arrival of King George and Queen Elizabeth in nearby Windsor, Ont. He said he wished to thank President Roosevelt and members of congress for making possible his release.
 The IRA demands that British troops get out of Northern Ireland. Russell said the IRA no longer pre- sented a military front but sent its workers out in civilian clothes "car- rying a litle parcel that anybody would be proud to carry" The "lit- tie package" is left where the man is instructed to leave it, Russell said, and he retires, and the next morning his English landlady brings him a newspaper that tells "how it worked" :"
 He said the IRA is determined there shall be no more civil war ip Ireland.

last September.
 When zastaury, who earlier this week was sentenced to states prison for 10 to 30 years at Fairfield coun- ty superior court, failed to appear in superior court here on charge of breaking and entering last Sep- tember, he caused Herbst to forfeit the $2,500 posted in his behalf.
 Recently, when Herbst requested Judge Kenneth Wynne to reopen the judgment in the forfeiture case, he cited the fact that Zastaury was, at that time. in custody of Fairfield county officials. Judge Wynne at that time said he would sanction a settlement of $500. But States At torney Fitzgerald's agreement would be necessary before the settlement would be reached.
 Today, Judge Wynne reopened the judgment and sanctioned the $500 settlement, upon notification by At torney Edward Mascolo that States Attorney Fitzgerald had agreed to accept the amount. A Waterbury bench warrant will be served on Zastaury when he concludes his cur- rent long term.
