ALDERMAN DENIES
 SPLITTING FEES
Points to Bank Records to Prove Assertion about
 "Kick-BaCks"

Bank records designed to show that every chick paid him by the city of Waterbury was deposited in New Haven bank, were identi- fled in the Waterbury conspiracy trial by Simon J. Alderman, New Haven accountant and defendant.
 With ring of finality in his voice, the slightly built witness dis claimed that he had ever kicked back single cent of his receipts from the city. For hours he testi- fled from working papers which showed the scope and extent of his work for the city.
 His testimony was for the purpose of refuting the states charges that he received funds without perform ing services Throughout the day his counsel, George w. Freeman, stood before him bringing out salient points of defense.
 Toward the late afternoon, the heavy-set attorney asked and receiv- ed permission of the court to con- duct his questioning from a seated posture.
 Alderman said that he cooperated with Warren M. Brown, states &C., countant, in every way during the investigation of the municipal af- fairs. He told the court and jury that he willingly turned over his books and papers, and that he as- sisted Brown in compiling the sched- ule which Brown offered in court to show how much the city paid Alderman.
 The witness explained, that while working on a city audit in Decem- Der, he worked one evening, the Thursday before New Years day. he worked Christmas day, and on Sum- day December l9. 1887. He said that his worksheets bore out his testi- mony. and added that the work sheets also would show that he was assisted on each occasion by two or three men.

logical spur to united efforts to- ward recovery and preparedness.
 Daladier still has Georges Bonnet as foreign minister, but for all prac- tical purposes the premier has taken over the job, especially since Bon- net was reluctant to press negotia- lions for adherence of Soviet Russia to the security front.
 Since the day Daladier visited Tunisia and saw the strong position of France against the Italian forces in Libya he has taken a more de- termine dstand against the Fascist demands for greater power in the Mediterranean.
 How much of this attitude is inc spired by propaganda for its psy- chological value and how much is the result of obvious improvement in the economic and preparedness fields can never be definitely determined. But there is no question that off, cial sources have sometimes been over-optimistic or permitted exag- gerated impressions to mate. ialize as in the case of inspired statements that Britain and the Soviets would get together without difficulty.

viction with observers in Paris tl1an her declarations that she will ruSn to the aid of Poland in event 0f' an eastern European war. The Paris government seeks to keep the initiative in dealing with the Fas~ cists because of confidence that Italy can be sliced off from the Reich in event of war, regardless of the present intensive efforts of Germans to aid Italians in strength- ening Fascist frontier defenses.
 Eastern Europe Different
 But eastern Europe is a different proposition. The French managed to force Britain to give guarantees to Rumania, but they have failed in repeated efforts to work the same formula in order to rush the Lon- don government into an alliance with Moscow.
 Even more important, they can't keep from wondering and worrying about the revival of appeasement hints across the English Channel as the Nazi pressure increases on Poland = and they know that in the end they must depend largely on British policy.
 Tomorrow British government clings to appeasement theory.

fcoll, and suggested that he try it for Use to enter the controllers of flee. The key fitted the door, he said, and later in the day he entered the office with it.
 Dunn at that time also gave AL dermsa what he thought was the combination to the office vault, the witness said. When he tried to open the vault, Alderman said, he found that the combination did not work. He called upon Meyerson, his assist ant to try 1t, and he, too, was un- successful.
 Wrong Numbers! Throwing the paper bearing the combination away, the witness said he called Dunn, told him of his dif- ficulty, and Dunn came back to the office and opened the vault. One digit was missing from the combina- tion given him. by Dunn, Alderman said he was told, when Dunn arrived. After working in the controllers office for the balance of the day, AL derrnan said, all the records were placed back into the vault, and the vault was closed by Dunn. Before questioning Alderman about the evening he worked, Crawford asked him if the details of his other two days work appeared on his working papers. Alderman said that they did.
 On December 30,. Alderman said that. he and Cronin and Goldstein worked the regular hours on Decem- Der checks, which later were given to Mrs. Helen Tehan Smith, former controllers bookkeeper. All checks were there, as listed on the reconcil- iation sheet, Alderman testified. Witnesses Present He worked until 8:30 that night, while Mrs. Julia Laguna McFadden, Martin J. Dunn, Goldstein and Cronin were present, Alderman said. The vault was closed before they left, he continued.
 It was at that time that Alderman made his categorical denials of any knowledge or participation in the destruction of city records, or of any conspiracy to defraud the city of any amount, by any person. It required several moments fol- lowing for Crawford to question AL derman in comparing amounts of duplicate checks from the city of Waterbury, with deposit slips in the name of Alderman at a New Haven bank.

Given Key

The witness said that Miss Helen R. Driscoll had given him key to the welfare department office, so that he could have access to the books. Alderman said that he en- tered the ofIlce Christmas day with that key.
 At 10 o'clock that morning, he said. he met Dunn again at the con- troller's ofiice by appointment. But he was not ready to work on the controllers books, being busy in the welfare department.
 Alderman said that he asked Dunn to return later in the day to open the controllers oflice, but Dunn de- clincd on the claim that he was III, and also that it was Christmas day. Alderman said that he desired to check tho totals on the warrants payable sheets. iie said no had iin- Nncd the checks at that time. z

LONDON PASTOR
 SEES WAR AHEAD

Wellesley, Mass, June 30-CUP) A World War is more imminent today than it was in 1914, accord ing to the Rev. Albert D. Belden of London, special envoy of the British Peace society to the United States on behalf of a new world conference.
 Even the churches, in spite of all they have said against war and all they have done in behalf of peace, are preparing once again to endorse, however respectfully, the arbitrament of war;" he told the New England Institute of International Relations at Wellesley College.
 The only thing that can stop war, he said, is the Union of churches of the world quite officially in a universal Christian ban on war and war preparation"

 Attempting to coordinate and un- derstand what has happened since the Nazi dismemberment of Czecho- slovakia, 1t is essential to emphasize that in the long run Paris looks to London for almost ali final de- c;sions just as Italy looks to Ber- lin.
 Thus, there may be much beating of breasts and many stronL state- ments from official sources that there will be mo more Munichs. II but ultimately France must gear her foreign program to that formulated in London.
 Two Points Important
 Two points stand out, however, in Frances effort to regain a power- full position in Europe. They are personified by two men: Premier Daladier and Finance Minister Paul Reynaud.
 Reynaud is the sparkplug in the nations economic rehabilitation. He is responsible for the "buy now' posters because one per cent arms tax is now paid on every transac- ton in France. Even the trenches in the parks are credited with be- | ing of greatest value as psycho-

 France is trudging along the road back from Munich, outwardly con- fident that from now on the odds will be against an aggressor in Eu- rope and increasingly impatient to "get done with it..
 But there are many conflicting factors in the French comeback that make it difficult if not impossible to judge its underlying strength until the showdown comes. That the nations attitude is a contradictory mixture of confidence Powerfully encouraged by govern mental sources), rnconcern and res- ignation to whatever comes is ob- vious even to the casual sightseer in Paris.
 Never Dare Risk War There is, for instance, the determ- nation of the government to foster the idea that France and the newly formed security front are now so strong that the totalitarian states will never dare risk war. Yet only this week Premier Edouard Dalla- dier went out of his way to make public a declaration that the dan ger is greater than at any time since the World War and Paris be- came a center for hints of an early Nazi thrust at Danzig.
 There are air raid trenches in the public parks. But many Paris ians insist they would not think of risking their lives under such thin layers of concrete and dirt if enemy planes appeared in the sky.
 There are flamboyant patriotic posters in the shop windows urging people to 'buy now" Yet the wife of an American business man was told at fashionable Rue De La Paix shop last week that the only rush Of buying recently came when a sud- den heat wave forced the population

to invest in summer clothes which normally would have been pur- chased weeks earlier.
 Return of Capital
 There is reutrn of capital that fled abroad due to war fears, and there is an increasing attitude of defiance toward Italy. Armaments are being built at a master and faster pace, the recent $500, ,000, ,000 arms loan was oversubscribed in four days and French experts are beginning to speculate optimistically on whether their army could break the supposely impregnable German

On Battle Front

NORFOLK, VA.-Rev. J. Suther-

guns in front-lina trenches Of the
greatest war on earth for Christ

It was Christmas eve. 1914, be-
tween Armentiers and Arras, while
Gordon Highlanders huddled in
trenches, when somebody remem-
bered the day.
Jim, let's sing" one said to Pri-
vate Sutherland-Watt.
Jim pleaded off, but someone else
started "Silent Night, Holy Night, Z"
and soon Jim and the whole Scot
regiment had joined in.
When the last refrain subsided,
from the opposite trenches arose
other voices-attuned in "Stille
Nacht." Then all night long Christ
mas carols rang from trench to
trench in strange tongues while can
non and flares from other sectors
lit the sky.
At the customary Zero" hour,
the British soldiers saw gray-clad
figures making their way out Of the
opposite trenches. A few shots were
fired. Then it was seen that the
Germans carried no arms. Scots
leaped from their trenches, likewise
unarmed, only to be ordered back.
