FAKE STORIES ON
 ITALY, FRANCE

Paris, Feb. 23.-(UP)-The French press today vigorously denounced q report published abroad yesterday of fighting on the Tunisian frontier between French and Italian troops, The papers pointed out that official Italian denials have backed up off, cial French insistence that no fight ing occurred.
 Le Jour said on its front page:
 "The ministry of foreign affairs was obliged to deny in the most formal manner a news item circu- lated abroad according to which 84 soldiers were killed in a battle on the Tunis-Libyan frontier: 80 Ital- ians and four French. The American agency added to its reoprt, The Quai D'Orsay refuses to comment on this news
 Separately, the resident general of Tunis did justice to this inven- tion. The Fascist paper at Tunis, Unione, also published categorical denial from the Italian consulate general in Tunis."
 Le Journal said:
 "The series of fake news stories continues. An American news agen- cy yesterday spread over the world a sensational news story. Its cor respondent in Tunis informed 1t that according to persistent rumors,

BUDGET WELL sLAsHED

Hartford, Conn.,, Feb. 23.-(UP)-- The extensive economy campaign initiated by Gov. Raymond E. Bald win when he took office Jan. 4 was disclosed today to be of such a far reaching nature that even expendi- lures for paper water cups. ice and postage stamps have been slashed drastically.
 The extent of the economy wave became known to the appropriations committee of the general assembly when copies of budget figures for each state department, agency and institution were delivered to mem- bers. Hearings were expected to be- gin soon.
 All Felt Slashes
 Virtually every state division felt the slashes. Nearly every request for additional funds for personnel services was turned down, and, in some cases, the appropriation for this item was cut. When prelimin- ary details of Gov. Baldwin's budg- etary program became known a month ago, 1t was estimated at least 800 state employees may be let go.
 The state police department re- quest for $90,000 to establish a state wide radio system escaped the econ- omy axe.
 The state public works depart

ment, under fire from certain Re- publican sources, did not gain ap- proval of a total of $4,034,217 re- quested for structural reparis to state buildings.
 New Armories Lost
 Other items turned down: $l,0O0,- 900 for the state park and forest commission; $300,000 for a state health department laboratory; and $1,000,000 for a new Bridgeport arm- ory, $450, ,000 for a New London arm ory, and $200, 1000 for Norwalk arm- ory.
 The public works department ex- penditures for personal services was cut $200,000; the education depart ment, $700,000; and the motor vehi- cles department, $200,000.
 The state capitol budget for paper water cups and ice was sliced 500 a year, and the controllers postage stamp account was cut $2,600 a year. The state publicity commissions re- quest for an information booth on the Merritt Parkway, to cost $4,500, was turned down.
 Public Works Hit Hardest
 The public works department seemed to take the greatest cuts. The personal service requests for this division were cut virtually in half. For instance, the department requested $416,113 for the 1939-40 fiscal year for employees salaries; the recommendation was $201 ,569.
 The governors travelling expenses were cut in half. from s1 ,280 a year to $500. Provision was made for a new car at $4,000 this year and an- other one next year at the same cost.

Cannes, France, Feb. 23---(UP) --- Marion Daniels, 19 year old Ameri- can tap dancer who flew to Munich Tuesday in a special German air- plane to dance before Adolf Hitler, said today that Hitler told her:
 You are the best dancer l have ever seen."
 She said that after her first ap- pearance before Hitler, at Munich two weeks ago, the Fuehrer sent a bouquet of lilacs and carnations to her dressing room.
 It was because of Hnler's en- thusiasm at the first performance that he wired an invitation to Miss Daniels here, where she Is dancing

SENATE DEMOCRATS SPLIT

Hartford Conn.,, Feb. 23.--(UP)- Senate Democrats were reported to- day to be split into three camps on the merits of the dual-job hold ing bill, which will reach the upper chamber for vote Tuesday.
 One camp, 1t was said following a party caucus, favored passage of the bill as 1t came from the house c measure simply barring legislators from being appointed by the gen. eral assembly to state or judicial jobs during their terms.
 Another group favored recommit- ting the bill to the constitutional amendments committee.
 The third and strongest group fa- vored making the bill "all-inclusive' placing under the ban every state, county, judicial, executive, admins trative or other public job.
 Republicans, too, were split on the measure. Two or three favored res- toration of the eliminated Section 2, which would have exempted pres- ent legislative job-holders. The two Socialists were expected to go along with the Republican administrat ton on the bill as passed by the house.
 Passage of the bill was regarded as likely in view of the fact certain Democrats favored 1t in its original form.

thorizes New Haven county to issue bonds up to $300,000 for acquiring land and making alterations and ad- ditions to the Brass City county building. No action has as yet been taken on this measure.
 The bar association has offered three possible ways of making changes. One would be to extend the present building to the building line along Kendrick avenue. A second calls for extension of the present structure to the west along Ken drick avenue. The last plan involves acquisition of land along Leaven- worth street and expension on the present parking station now oc- cupying the spot.
 Waterbury legislators are as a unit in resolving to fight to keep the courthouse expansion bill from being defeated both in caucus and before committee. They claim that present quarters are entirely inade- quate and that events of the past year in court circles have combined to prove this.
 It is understood that Commis- sioner Jacob Walter of Cheshire, one of the two present commission CTS, is opposed to the expansion plan.

 Also on March 2 there will be g hearing on Rep. Hugo L. Guasta- ferris bill eliminating the position of town clerk and virtually eliminate ing all the town government. Strong opposition, 1t was learned, is form ing against this proposal.
 A number of charter amendments, proposed in bills by Senators George T. Culhane, Edward P. Egan and Rep. Daniel J. Mahaney are also included in the list.
 Another bill on the list by Rep. Guastaferri, would compel the Northeastern Transportation com- pany and Cooke Street Line to is- sue transfers to passengers.
 Two new bills added to the list since Tuesday include the one giv- ing the registrars of voters right and power to name old age assist ance tax enumerators and another ordering the tax collector to fur nish the list of names of all tax delinquents. Both were sponsored by the Waterbury COP organization.

 scheduled execution for the staying of kndnaped Jimmy Cash only A hours away, appeared confident to- day that he would escape the elec- trio chair. For more than eight months Mccall has occupied a cell, only few steps from the death room, at the State Prison Farm here. His execution week has been set twice, but delays were obtained by his attorneys. Mccall was granted a four-day delay Monday, only 90 minutes before his scheduled walk into the death chamber. He quickly recovered confidence that he would escape the death penalty.
 "He still seems to feel that he will not be electrocuted," said L. F. Chap man, State Prison Farm superin- tendent. Chapman permitted post ponement of the electrocution until Friday SO that McCalls attorneys could make new court appeals.
 Relatives to See Him
 Relatives of the 21-year-old farm worker were expected to visit him at the prison today. They may not know until late in the day the out come of attorneys efforts in New Orleans and Washington in his behalf.
 Should the two federal court ef- forts - before the circuit court of appeals at New Orleans and the United States Supreme Court at Washington - fail, it was, generally felt that McCalls attorneys had only two other possible moves.
 One was to start sanity proceed ings, for which the State Supreme Court last Saturday refused to stay the execution. Attorney O. A.. Averiett has indicated previously such action would only be taken as Hast resort. The other course would be a request for reprieve to Governor Fred P. Cone.

 the Pecten had been in normal radio communication with the Portis Head station this morning. The Anglo- Saxon Petroleum Co, her owners, reported that she apparently was 1000 miles east of the position and tha ther call letters did not include the letter "P."
 The position was too far vest. 300 miles due west of the Canary Islands--to be within the normal range of operation of Spanish Na- tionalist submarines-and the Tulsa was too far east of the locale of the present maneuvers of the United States fleet to have intercepted and garbled a mock message pertaining to the maneuvers. Besides, the navy announced in Washington that the ships of the fleet were using a fre- quency far removed from the GOO band to which the Tulsa was listen. ing.
 Story Is Discredited
 That a submarine of any power had torpedoed a merchant ship at sea was inconceivable to diplomatic and marine experts. The British ad- miralty knew nothing of the message and said 1t was Q matter for Lloyds, the marine insurance firm. Lloyds knew nothing.
 Officers of the navy radio at Wash. ington said they believed the mes- sage hoax. They based the opinion on the circumstances.
 Other marine radio experts agreed. They thought the Tulsa's operator had heard the message correctly, since 1t was too lucid and too long to have been Q garbled version Of another and less urgent message, but they suspected that 1t might have been sent by an amateur sta- ton fin southern Europe or the Azore Islands since of all the ships in the vicinity, only the Tulsa heard 1t. The Tulsa and other ships of her class do not carry direction finding apparatus and without 1t. 1t would be impossible to even guess the di- rection from which the message had come or the distance 1t had travelled.
 These experts said also that 1t would be most unusual for ships operator to identify his ship in code. He would spell out the name in ir- ternational code.
 Amateur operators have been known to send fantastic and sensa- tional messages, they said, and, to 0 much lesser extent, 50 have ops orators on small ships, bored by the tedium of long voyages. Ships op- orators, as 6 class, however, have too much respect for the nature of the sos call to hoax with 1t, they said.
