TIRE EXPLODED.
 WORKER INJURED.
Chase Brass & Copper Co. Named in $5O,OOO Dam.
 age Suit

Critically injured by the explosion of huge truck tire, Joseph Crough- well, formerly employed as a me- chanic by the Charles A. Templeton Co, today sued the Chase Brass and Copper Co. for $50,000 in the superior court.
 The tire, which exploded due to an alleged defect in the rim, was the property of the defendant company. The accident happened in the Tenn pleton garage July 25, 1888. Attorney Edward Mascolo filed the complaint on behalf of Croughwell. who has been unable to work since the acci- dent.
 It is alleged that before July 25, 1o38, skilled mechanics of the Chase Co. discovered, while servicing 1929 truck, that the locking device on Split rim" wheel was broken. The complaint states that 1t was the duty of the employees to immediately deflate the tire, but that they main- tained 1t at high pressure, constitute ing dangerous and unsafe con- dition."
 On July 25, 1888, about Il a. m., the plaintiff employed by the Tenn pleton Co.,, called at the Chase Go. garage for the tire, and rim, and the defendants employees did not warn him of the danger.
 He was ordered to deliver the de- fective rim to welder for repairs. The complaint states that Crough- well took the tire and rim to the Templeton shop, and while he stood several feet away from 1t, the tire exploded.
 The force of the explosion lifted Croughwell high into the air and he fell violently to the floor. He was unconscious for several days, suf- fered intracranial hemorrhages, con- cussion and laceration of the brain, deep laceration of the face and scalp, which resulted in permanent deaf ness, headaches, impaired use of the left arm and skin disease, accord ing to the complaint.
 In addition, Croughwell says through his attorney, he has lost employment and is unable to work. A second count sets up that the de- fendants created nuisance by their actions.

and Frederick Warehouse of Hart ford. Judge Inglis may or may not, at his discretion, heed the re- quests.
 Distinction
 The court is asked, in the Leary request, to make distinction between violations of general statutes with intent to cheat and defraud and other violations. Judge Inglis is asked to tell the jury that unless the state has proven the violations were made with intent to defraud they need not consider them.
 Ten provisions are contained in the request. One paragraph per- taining to the testimony of Edward C.. Levy confessed conspirator, is comparable to other paragraphs concerning Charles E. Williamson, who testified for the state and Harry Mackenzie confessed conspirator. both of whom admitted perjury, ac- cording to the writ.
 Tn considering the evidence of the witness Levy, the jury must keep in mind that fact that Levy by his own confession has been guilty of perjury in connection with his dealings with the city of Wa terbury. The jury must also keep in mind that Levy has or may have such an interest in giving his testimony as to render the temptation to perjury particularly powerful. It is the duty of the court to cali the attention of the jury to the element of danger in giving credit to Levy's testimony and to the necessity of caution in deal- ing with his story"

volve upon her in a subsequent phase
Of the war.
In that respect, the entrance of
the Red Army into Eastern Galicia
would be useful from a strategical
standpoint as the German Reichs-
wehr, engaged with the Polish Army,
couldn't remain Indifferent to the
prospect of being outflanked. But,
it is to be feared that Polish sus-
capabilities and apprehensions will
be an obstacle difficult to overcome.
Assurances for Soviet.
Third, will not Stain and his ad-
vlsers ask for assurances about the
Franco-British program of military
operations in Western Europe?
Won't their natural tendency be to
consider that the Western powers
aren't enterprising enough on their
own front and are guided by the
idea of shifting the main burden on
their Eastern allies?
1t is to be hoped that these un-
avoldable controversies will quickly
be brought to an end and that de-
votion to common cause will pre-
vail on all sides and lead to agree
ment. But, to settle these momen-
tous issues, delays are unavoidable
and they ought not to cause wonder

Regent Of YugosIavia
Gets Premier's Plan
For Croat Settlement
Proposals Of Cvetkovieh
Drafted After Secret
TuIks With Muchek
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BLED, Yugoslavia, Aug. 5.-With
Yugoslavia's unity hanging in the
balance, Regent Prince Paul today
received from Premier Dragisha
Cvetkovich his proposed settlement
of the 20-year Croatian fight for
home rule
The premier's plan, drafted after
days of secret conferences with DR..
Vladimir Machek, Croatian peasant
leader, was understood to envisage
creation of sovereign states under
federal form of government.
The kingdom of the Serbs, Croats
and Slovenes was created after the
World War by the union of Serbia
and Montenegro, pre-war states,
and Slovenia, Croatia. Dalmatia
and Bosnia, which had declared
themselves independent of Austria
Hungary. In 1929 the name was
changed to Yugoslavia.
Threatened Secession.
DR.. Machek earlier this week de-
clared that if "the Belgrade clique"
defeated the settlement, Croatia
would secede from Yugoslavia.
Yugoslavia has population of
more that 15,5O0,00o. Croatia has
100000 inhabitant
Judicial, financial and economic
experts of the nation gathered at
Bled today to work out details of
the plan. Premier Cvetkovich and
DR.. Machek met privately for five
hours last night.
The regent and his wife, Princess
Olga, reached Bled last night after
visit in London with the British
royal family. Today they were hosts
at this Yugoslavia spa to the Duke
and Duchess of Kent.
Regents Decision Awaited.
The entire country tensely await
ed the regents decision on the home
rule plan.
Cvetkovich has staked his premier
ship on his attempts to unite Yugo-
slavia's dissident founding races.
In April he presented a Creation
agreement to Paul, but the latter re-
jected it for reasons never disclosed
officially.
Dr. Machek, as leader of 5,00O,-
600 Croats, has claimed that the
Serb-controlled central government
continually Disseminated against
Croatia. He insisted the Croats had
greater independence under the
Austro- Hungarian empire than in
postwar Yugoslavia.
