 Investigation Starts
 Aided by Privates Eugene Legge and Jerry Griffin, Fire Marshal Lahey began an investigation while the fire was still in progress. De- spite being injured he returned to duty later in the morning.
 State Trooper Henry Mayo of the Beacon Falls barracks entered the investigation after his department had been notified by the marshal. Electrical Inspector Martin O'Rourke was also at the scene. He said there were no apparent faults in the wiring that might have caused the blaze. Harold Beattie, of 60 Bidwell street, inspector for the Hartford Steam Boiler Co.,, said that the heating system in the building was in good working -order.
 Alarm At 2:25 A. M.

 BITTER AT SPEECH

 Italian Papers Quiet
 In Italy the newspapers played down the message. One big morning newspaper of Rome, Messagero, did not even mention it. A blast from editorial writers was expected as soon as the newspapers received their orders on the line of comment they should take.
 The message was ignored by the radio authorities of Germany and Italy.
 In France, the message was re- garded as of such importance that some newspapers displayed it with greater prominence than they did the visit of Premier Edouard Dala- dier to inspect the defenses of French North Africa.
 British Papers Comment
 British press reaction was whole heartedly favorable to the president.
 The Daily Telegraph (Conserva- tive) said that the message DOT tended "a more positive attitude toward international affairs than manifested by the administration for several years past" It described the speech as frank acknowledge ment of the failure of the (U. So neutrality laws at least in their present form"
 Prom his message of January 1886, it is a far cry to the message of yesterday" the Telegraph said Whereas three years ago America felt she could ignore the aggressors the president now asks her to recog- nize that this no longer is the case This will scarcely be lost upon cer- tain nations who may care to fit this particular shoe to their foot. v
 The Times (Conservative) said: Tn his fRoosevelt's) description of American ideals and American re- action to the worlds troubles his is the authentic voice of the American people and it will be heard with full sympathy and understanding in all communities that share the political faith and practice of the United States and mean to preserve them.
 The News Chronicle Liberal party organ) hailed the message as "striking reaffirmation of the Amer ican way of life"
 The Daily Mail (Conservative) said: Roosevelt has never more bluntly indicated where United States sympathies lie in present day Europe The speech is stimulus to this country to get on with the job of bringing Britain as close to and as swiftly as possible the point of invulnerability."

The spending program, the deficit and the national debt bulge will raise a congressional storm after yester- days demonstration of Republicans and a scattering of Democrats in favor of economy when MT. Roose- velt, in his annual message on the state of the nation, revealed his de- termination to continue to spend He based his spending theory on con- fidence that government money will prime the pump tC a sustained bus mess recovery.
 Federal Revenue Increase
 As business improves federal reve- nue from current tax structure will increase. The national income now is around $60OO0, 100000 The presi- dents objective is $80,000, ,000, 900 or more year.
 Existing tax schedules would raise approximately $5,520, 900, ,000 if levied on a $60,000, 100000 national income MT. Roosevelt estimated that tax rates would raise $6,000, 900, ,000 an- nually on the national income of SIC, 0,000, ,O0O, ,OO0; $8,OOo, ,00O, ,000 on ESQ., GOO O,O0O,O 900 and $10,600, 100000 if the national income zoomed to S90,000,- COG, 1000.
 He will present detailed national defense plans to Congress next week with a warning that times have changed with the airplane and that there will be no opportunity to train men against the next attack. He proposed $1,126,000, ,000 to carry out normal defense commitments and an additional $500, ,000, ,000 program of which $210,000, 900 would be appro- priated and spent before July 1, 1940 Semi-military expenditures of more than $350,000,000 bring the defense spending total over the $2,000, ,000, ,000 mark.
 No Further Public Works
 No further public works program was proposed. The $1,000,000, ,000 pump -priming voted last spring will not reach its peak until April and will continue well through the fol- lowing year.
 But the Works Progress Adminis- tration goes on. MT. Roosevelt al- most immediately will ask somewhat more than $750,000, 900 to continue WPA through part of February to June 30-raising recovery and relief costs for this fiscal year to $751; 100000.
 He expects to cut recovery and re- lief costs to $2,266, ,000, 900 in the 1940 fiscal year, a reduction of $921 ,000,- 900.
 The 1940 sum will be distributed in part as follows:
 l. WPA-$l, 500, ,000, 900.
 3. National Youth Administration -$125, ,000, ,000.
 3. Farm Security Administration --$60, ,000, ,000.
 It was stated that no national de- fense spending was concealed in either WPA or IVA spending plans.
 In addition to the SAP, 900, 900 new revenue requested, MT. Roosevelt pointedly remarked that no revenue provision ever has been made to cover federal grants to states for various social security purposes and

 The book presented a history of the Federal Judicial system in its organization and operation from 1789. The final Chapter dealt with the future of the Supreme Court,
 In 1892 Frankfurter refused a seat on the Massachusetts Supreme Court.
 An adherent of the school of lib- eralism outlined in historic diSsentS of Brandeis and the late Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Frankfur- ter has been frequent "back door" visitor to the White House in this administration and the intellectual leader of a powerful group of young governmental officials influential in mapping the course of the New Deal.
 Many of his students and proteges are now in administration policy making positions. These include Thomas Corcoran and Benjamin Cohen, "trouble-shooters" for the White House who have been credited with originating and draft ing key legislation sponsored by President Roosevelt.
 Others included Jerome Frank, a member of the securities and ex- change commission, director David E. Lilienthal of the Tennessee Val ley authority, Calvert Bagruder, att torney for the wage-hour admins tration; former SEC chairman James M. Landis, now dean of the Harvard law school; Judge Harold Stephens of the circuit court of ap- peals for the District of Columbia and John G. Winant, former chair man of the social security board and now head of the international labor office at Geneva, Switzerland.
 Stephens Considered
 Until Frankfurter nomination was announced today Stephens. himself a Frankfurter follower had been considered an outstanding favorite for appointment to the vacancy. This was based on the fact that Stephens has western back ground-lived in Utah until coming here in 1883 as assistant to the att torney general.
 Today's action leaves only one member of the court with western background - Butler whose home was in Minnesota until he estab- lished residence here after being named 70 the court.

Dr.. Dafoe Reported
To Have Resigned as
Quintup|et Guardian
No Official Action,
However, Declared
To Have Been Taken
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
CALLANDER, Ontario, Dec. 90
DR.. Allan Roy Dafoe was reported
reliably today to have resigned as
one of the Dionne quintuplets'
guardians.
II cannot say anything until it
becomes oficial," commented the
gray-haired physician who has
cared for the famous children since
their birth May %, 1894.
He declared last Saturday that
he had been seeking for two years
to be relieved of his duties as one
Of the three guardians named by
the state.
He said he would prefer to be
"free to watch their health and per-
sonal well-being and not bother with
business arrangements as at pres
ent."
Hepburn without Information
Premier Mitchell Hepburn, vaca-
tioning at his farm near st. Thomas,
said he had no information that an
agreement had been reached be-
tween DR.. Dafoe and the quintup-
lets father, Olivia Dionne.
Some sources here said an under
standing had been reached whereby
DR.. Dafoe would resign as guardian
and Dionne would drop court action
against the doctor in connection
with contracts allegedly involving
the quintupletS' names.
Premier Hepburn said retirement
as guardian was entirely up to DR..
Dafoe, but added, "As long as the
present government is in Office he
will continue to be personal physi-
clan to the quints. That is one thing
certain.
The Dionne babies would have
died in infancy had it not been for
DR.. Dafoe. and this should not be
forgotten"
Other Guardians Silent.
The other guardians, Judge ]. A.
Valin and Percy Wilson, declined
comment. Keith Munro, the quin-
tuplets' business manager, said DR..
Dafoe had spoken several times in
recent months abott resigning, but
hasn't said a word" lately.
Premier Hepburn said the quin-
tuplets would not leave their nursery
to 60 back to live with their parents
unless DR.. Dafoe recommended it,
and, "even then we would have to
consider such a move, because the
final responsibility for the welfare
Of the children rests with the gov
ernment."

shown here, swarm at the surface Of
the water of warm seas.
These creatures are exclusively
marine animals. Billions of them
float or swim feebly about in the
water. They are so abundant that
they furnish food for many Of the
large and small fish neighbors.
Those who have studied these tiny
animals say they are the most beau
tiful Of all the protozoans. And, like
snowflakes, none appears to be an
actual duplicate of any other, so
infinite is the variety OF form. Their
colors are so subtly blended, the
carving so intricate, the forms so
fairylike, that words are inadequate
to describe with justice what these
fragile-appearing denizens of the sea
really look like.
Radiolaria secrete shells Of a
chalky nature which consist of Sue
cessive chambers arranged spiral
fashion. The outer surface is pierced
with minute threadlike spines COM

the larger chamber and from it as
well as from the small punctures Of
the body flows a transparent veil
of protoplasm, a sticky substance
that enables the radiolaria to cap
ture its food. And we have been told
that this diminutive fisherman is
rather "choosy" about what it feasts
upon at that.
When these creatures die, their
dead bodies, mere bubbles, dissolve
and the shell drifts to the bottom
of the ocean to become part OF
the soft mud known as Gobigernia
ooze. This ooze covers millions OF
square miles of the sea floor at
depths of 1000 to 5000 fathoms.
In order to get closer view Of
these beautiful animals you may use

made of fine -mesh silk boiling cloth
and used for the capture of plank
