the city. While no serious accidents had been reported, there were a number of minor crashes due to storm conditions, impaired visibility, skidding.
 Two persons were injured last night at 11:30 o'clock when a car driven by Lincoln Broun, 28, of 66 Harrington avenue, hit a highway fence in a skid, on Cheshire road, the impact breaking the windshield. Broun was cut about the face and a passenger, Maurice Relihan, 27, of 31 Grand street, suffered similar ir- jury. They were treated at St. Mary's hospital.
 Reckless Rriver Arrested
 Frank Clapps, 28, of 323 Oak street, was arrested on a charge of reckless driving by Motor Patrol man Joseph Mccarthy following a collision at Washington avenue and South Main street at 1:15 o'clock yesterday.
 Clapp's car was in collision with a car operated by William Erseria, 20, of 29 North Leonard street, when 1t skidded and the cars met head on. The police charged Clapps with ex- cessive speed. None of the occupants of the cars was injured.
 The deaths which had relation to the storm only by reason of strain of clearing the snow were those of Lawrence Magone, 76, of Naugatuck, who collapsed after clearing snow from the sidewalk of his home, 206 South Leonard street; and that of Antonio aMturo, of 133 Fulton street who died after collapsing in the basement of his home where he had gone to get snow shovel.
 Travel Is Resuming
 Bus travel showed marked in- crease yesterday and today, accord ing to the Connecticut Railway and Lighting Company, officials, many motorists either avoiding use of
 their cars because of traffic condi- tions they expected to find in the downtown area, or postponing the rigging out of driveways to gar- ages, of cars left out since Satur- day night.
 All in all, the storms major prob lem in Waterbury, aside for the gen. eral inconvenience of this Spring" blast from King Winter, is the cost of clearing which has yet to be flg- ured. At least, the finance board members are concerned with the

 Defense council authorities charg- ed that Communists for two months past had been distributing hand grenades and automatic arms to their party militants in preparation for an uprising.
 Last night, the council announced that the last Rebel troop positions had been surrendered tlncondition- ally.
 Dominate Situation
 It was apparent yesterday after noon that the defense council had dominated the situation. Street traffic was normal again, street cars were running and most soldiers dis appeared from the streets. People turned out to enjoy the sun, and showed particular interest in build- ings and parks where there had been fighting.
 The Fl Pardo and Alcala Henares districts in the suburbs were heav- fly bombed by unidentified air. planes at noon time yesterday.
 There was no sign of Nationalist army activity. All during the re- volt against the defense council the Nationalists had refrained from &C., tioll. The last sign of life from the Nationalist lines had come last Tuesday when there was a local trench raid.
 France Ready To Attack
 Burgos, Spain, March 13-(UP)- Train loads of artillery and muni- tions moved up to the front lines today as Gen. Francisco Franco pushed preparations for Nation- alist offensive against Madrid.
 The intensive military prepara- tions over the weekend indicated that Franco was planning to strike soon in an effort to smash the rem- nants of Republican resistance in both the Madrid and Valencia areas probably before the enemy has time to recover from bitter fighting that marked last weeks rebellion and counter-rebellion in Republi- can territory.
 A Spanish National war corres- podent returning from the Madrid front lines said that deserters from Republican ranks estimated that the Republican defense council troops suffered 2,000 casualties last week fighting the Communicated army rebellion in the capital alone. The Rebels suffered at least 4,000 casual ties, the deserters estimated.

 Street Supt. Warns

Superintendent of Streest Thomas J. Fleming urged that presons clear ing driveways refrain from throwing snow into streets which have been cleared. Result of this casting oi snow into the highway will be ruts and traffic hazards in event of melt ing during the day, freezing tonight
 Cost of the clearing was concern of city officials, faced with exhaus- ton of the 5000 in the 1889 budget for snow removal. Similarly, the contingency fund set up by the finance board, about $37,000, has undergone considerable slicing for emergency costs since the first of tn eyear.
 Light, Power Co. Escapes
 Charles J. Allen, manager of the Connecticut Light and Power Com pany, said today that no particular trouble had been caused by the storm. The snow, he xeplained, was of light variety and did not stick to the lines. Employees were exper- fencing difficulty in getting through some of the outlying streets, how ever, on their regular tours of duty
 E. L. Beebe, manager of the Southerns New England Telephone Company, declared that there has been no trouble traceable to the tsorm. Asked whether the blizzard of '88" might not have occasioned entire cessation of the service of that period, 1t was MT. Beebe's opin- ion that tht efew telephones in Wa terbury at that time were not work ing for the duration of the three day blizzard, possibly not for some time thereafter.
 "The wires were strung house-to- house at that time," he explained. "Now we have cables and most of our wiring is underground"

He said at least part of the blame
rests on the administration because
"by of1icially recognizing the Soviet
regime in 1888 and resuming diplo-
matte negotiations with Moscow,
the New Deal measurably strength
ened the hand of the dictator Stain
and helped build up the power OF
absolutism under Russia which is
being so ruthlessly used today"
Promises "Never Kept"
Representative Knutson add
that mo one knows better than Mr.

kept her promise, given when recog-

Of this country.
Another statement, from Senator
Capper, Republican, Of Kansas, as
serted that the real challenge to
this country from the Russian
menace" is the challenge to solee
unemployment and other domestic
problems here. He said the United
States must be prepared to meet
the threat of revolution as well as

There has been no comment from

gressional circles that this country

Larger Margin Needed
For Wheat Redemptions
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Dec. 1.-THE recent
upturn in wheat prices to well above
loan rates at practically all markets
caused James E. Bennett A Co. to-
day to inquire among elevator inter-
ests as to. the possibility of some loan
wheat being put into commercial
channels through redemption Of
loans.
On the basis of prices for actual
wheat here q producer who had
stored wheat at 80 cents a bushel
loan rate in Chicago could pay of
the loan and sell the wheat for about
Is cents or more above the value OF
the loan. In other words, wheat Is
worth anywhere from q few cents
to almost 20 cents more at market
than 1t is under loan. However, in
terest, transportation and storage
charges must be figured into this.
Wichita (Kans) grain men told
Bennett 81 Co. that country eleva-
tors were paying "a cents for No. 1
white while the loan price there Is
e4.s cents. Storage on first loan
wheat is 5 cents up to date and fig
uring the interest literally at ~
cents per bushel 50 far, this would
give farmers less than 3 cents net
to redeem wheat.

Offer 10 Purchase
Power Firm Stock
Hit by Wi||kie
Otis & Co. Declared
Making Contribution
To Confusion

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Dec. 2.-Wendell L.
Willkie, president Of Commonwealth
& Southern Corp, tonight termed
the latest offer of Otis e. Co., Cleve-
land investment bankers, to buy $l3,-
500, 900 of the common stock of Con-
sumers Power Co. a new contribu-
ton to confusion" in the parent
company's attempts to integrate its
electric properties.
The Otis firm, according to let
ter sent to Jerome N. Frank, chair
man of the Securities g. Exchange
Commission, offered to underwrite q
sufficient amount of common stock
tsof Consumers Power Co. Ito furnish
all or any part of the $13,500,000 of
new money" which Consumers Pow
er proposes to raise in part through
sale of bonds and stock. Common
wealth e. Southern. which is sched-
uled to purchase the new common
stock, owns all of Consumers pres
ent outstanding common stock.
Called Night Attack
Mr.. Willkie, in a statement to-
night, scored the procedure of the
offer, terming it nighttime at
tack" to confuse Commonwealth g.
Southern's efforts to integrate its
system as required by the S. E. c.
1t was a second Otis offer. Willkie
said the latest one had been released
to newspapers and handed to a
member of the s. E. C. before he,
Willkie, had been given a chance to
see it.
Willkie said tonight:
THE proposal by Otis & Co., re-
leased after Office hours last night
by member of the Securities g.
Exchange Commission, before I had
even seen 1t, offered to purchase
$13,500,000 of the common stock of
Consumers Power Co. at some un-
named amount in excess of the price
proposed to be paid by the Common
wealth g. Southern Corp, namely,
$2825.
The Consumers Power Co. is the
largest operating unit of the Com
monWealth g. Southern System. We
have already submitted plans to
the S. E. C. which make this COM
pany the basis of major integra-
ton and have had long discussions
with the commission on that point.
Offered $50 q Share.
about year ago, the Common
wealth g. Southern Corp, in ad-
vancing $1,2O0,0O0 to Consumers
Power Co., offered to do so at rate
of $50 per share of common stock
The S. E. c., however, requested it
to pay only the book value, or ap-
proximately $28 per share. This
was then submitted to the Public
Utilities Commission of Michigan
which approved the entire trans
action. = -
commonwealth & Southern Corp
was willing to pay at the rate of $50
I per share. however, because that
was the highest price at which the
stock had ever sold in the history
of the company.
I'm considering this (the Otis &
Coz proposal, I would like to know
whether Otis & Co. would be will
ling to pay this price for all the
common stock, which would make
the common stock of Consumers
Power Co. worth 100000, 900. This
sounds very interesting.
Il would also like to know Cd
why Otis & Co. makes these pro-
posals first to Federal official and
90 what its motive is in taking this
sudden interest in the affairs OF
the Consumers Power Co."

Moral Embargo

materially aid or encourage that
practice in any countries in any
part of the world.
Therefore, in view of this policy,
the department would with great
regret issue any licenses authorizing
expectation (of any aircraft or ma
terials) to countries the armed
forces of which are making use of
airplanes for attack upon civilian
populations.
Modification of the policy to ap-
ply only to nations guilty Of "un-
provoked" bombing presumably
would exempt Finland from the
moral embargo" and apparently
clears the way for continuing sales
to Great Britain and France If
Germany should bomb London or
Paris and the allies retaliated
against Berlin.
Shipments to Japan End.
Until news of Russian bombings
of Finnish civilians, the moral en-
barge" had had practical effect
only against Japan as a result of
Jajanese bombings in China. There
is no law to enforce the policy, but
plane shipments to Japan were cut
off effectively by the force Of pub.
lie opinion and cooperation Of the
manufacturers.
The Presidents statement yester-
day apparently was precipitated by
a report from the American Min
lister to Finland, H. F. Arthur Scho-
enfield, that he had witnessed lin
discriminate bombing" of Helsinki
by the Russians despite Moscow de-
mails of such attacks.
The State Department announced
that:
During the raid of Is planes,
which flew in the immediate vicin-
ity of the Legation Offices in Hell
sinki about 3 o'clock on the after
noon of November 80, Minister Scho-
enfield personally witnessed indis-

CATION"
Mr.. Schoenfeld reported that q
persons were known to have been
killed in Helsinki by the air raids
Thursday, with fewer casualties in
three more raids Friday.
Further Developments Waited.
President Roosevelt and Secretary
Hull awaited further developments
abroad before deciding what, if any
further steps might be taken by
this Government. They had no re-
ply from Russia to the President's
appeal against bombing civilians.

A statement in Moscow Friday by
Premier Molotoff that Mr.. Roose.
