Their stories, however, could not

The refugees said much of the
trouble was between Falangists
(Fascists) and Carlists (monarch-
ists), two of the strongest elements
supporting Generalissimo Francisco
Franco in his civil war victory.
The refugees mentioned Catalonia
and Andalusia as regions affected
by unrest. One story told of fight
ing in Barcelona. Other rumors
mentioned fighting between Carlists
and Italian and German public
safety officers. In some parts OF
Northern Spain, said one account
the former Republican flag had been

Biddle Gives Decision
UphoIdine Verdict

PHILADELPHIA, July 11.-"Peace-
full" mass picketing and strikes for
a closed shop, even if these activities
violate State law, cannot be re-
strained by Federal courts in the
opinion of the Third United States
Circuit Court of Appeals.
Judge Francis Biddle, newly ap-
pointed, delivered the opinion yester-
day in upholding lower court de-
cision. With the approval of Judges
Albert B. Maris and William Clark,
he held that the Norris-La Guardia
Act restricted Federal courts in
junction powers in labor disputes to
acts of violence or fraud.
Judge William H. Kirkpatrick in
Federal District Court here had re-
fused to grant an injunction to Will
son & Co., meat packers, against
three American Federation of Labor
units.
Demanding a closed shop and dis
missal of five non-union employees,
the unions called a strike at a Will
son plant here last December. Mass
picketing followed.
The company, in its injunction suit
and appeal, contended Pennsylvania
law forbids mass picketing.
In denying the appeal, Judge Bid
die wrote:
1T is not necessary for us to dis
cuss whether or not Pennsylvania
law condemns these activities.
If the picketing is peaceful, unac-
companied by mass violence it
cannot be enjoined by Federal
court.
Strikes and picketing are general
acts, involving concerted efforts; the
narrow limit of the Federal restrain
ing power is confined to forbidding
defined acts of individuals"
The company complained that
picket lines containing as many as
81 men and a secondary boycott
threatening its customers with
picketing if they dealt with the Will
son plant while the strike was in
progress had brought its business
virtually to standstill.
In the opinion upheld by the Cir
cult Court, Judge Kirkpatrick had
declared there was no evidence of
fraud by the unions or evidence that
they authorized four or five alleged
acts of violence.

Nozis Say Premier's Talk
Changes Nothinq'

BERLIN, July II (P.-German DO
htlcal circles, reacting sharply to
Prime Minister Chamberlain's dec
laration of the British position on
Danzig, asserted last night his state
ment changes absolutely nothing. "
They charged Britain with "en-
eouraging Polish chauvinism" and
said that, although a reasonable
solution" still could be found for the
Danzig problem, from Berlin the
right atmosphere for such solution
cannot be perceived"
ut is particularly deplorable." it
was said in these quarters, that
Chamberlain did not mention the
wishes of the Danzig citizens"
To this was added the ironic COM
ment that "of course it is realized
here that Britain never was par
ticularly strong for self -determina-
ton of peoples. Otherwise the
British Empire would not stand as
1t does today" (Ninety-six per cent
of Danzig's population is German
Meanwhile, separate announce
ments were made that Foreign
Minister Joachim Won Ribbentrop
and Col. Gen. Walther Won Brau-
chitsch, chief of staff of the Ger
man Army, had left Berlin for vaca-
tions of several weeks"
Answering Chamberlain's state
ment that in a clearer atmosphere
an Improvement" in the Danzig
situation might be found, Germans
said:
1--WE have done our share to keep
the atmosphere clear by playing
down the brutality practiced against
Germans in Poland. We have been
reluctant to publish these stories.
We have done our share and it is
now up to Poland and Britain to
do theirs"

COSTER SOUGHT
 RADIO PROGRAM
Wanted Crime-Preyenti0n Play; First Offender"
 Was Considered

F. Donald Coster, who changed his name from Phillip Musica, arch-swindler, to become president of the wealthy McKesson- Robbins Drug Co.,, planned to sponsor a crime prevention radio program. Apparently he was stymied only by his unmasking and subsequent sui- eide.
 And the innocent victim of his newest plan was to have been High Sheriff J. Edward Slavin. originator of the famous First Offender" ser- les, now heard regularly over New Haven's WICC and other network stations
 The program is heard over WATR and other Colonial network mem Der stations each Saturday morning at 10:30 o'clock.
 High Sheriff Slavin said today that he had nothing to do with the contacting of prospective sponsors for the program. He added that the Taps agency, 1919 Broadway N. Y.. might have arranged with Coster for the presentation of the program. Aside from that he had no comment to make.
 Until his unmasking, Coster de- ceived thousands os brokers, bank CTS and businessmen--his dual per- sonality was known to few and they were paid handsomely for their si- lence
 Only a strange series of develop ments saved the well-founded and popular First Offenders Club" consisting of thousands of law-abid- ing children in all sections of the east, from coming under the shad- owy sponsorship of Coster.

TEST LOOMS FOR
 GAS PRICE SIGNS
Retailers Assn to Aid in Enforcing Law for Uni-
 form Price Display

Legality of the new city ordinance governing the size of price signs to be displayed in gasoline stations Is due for an imminent test in the courts, according to local retailers, and members of the Waterbury Gasoline Retailers association.
 Passed by the board of aldermen, with the sanction of the associa- tion, the ordinance provides that all retail gasoline pumps shall be clearly marked with the price-but objection is being voiced by several to the provision that
 No person shall mark his pumps or dispensing equipment with price signs of size larger than twelve inches high and ten inches wide and no other price signs or signs relating thereto shall be used or displayed on or about the premises where motor fuel is sold at re- tail, other than the signs provid- ed herein to be posted upon the pumps or dispensing equipment"
 Before the plan became an ordin- ance, many claimed that 1t was H. legal. Many of the stations special izing in low-priced gas, have huge signs which they apparently will not remove without fight.
 In the words of "The Gasoline Bulletin" official organ of the lo- cal independent dealers. "The asso- ciation will work with the Police Department to see that the new ordinance is enforced, We got this law on the books and now 1t is up to us to obey it."

NO WARNING OF CRASH RECEIVED BY PASSENGERS
Life Preservers Not Given Out Until Plane Hit Sea,
 Survivors Claim
By JAMES c. AUSTIN United Press Staff Correspondent

New York, Jan 24-(UP)-The passengers of the lost British fly ing boat Cavalier reported today that they had had no warning of an impending serious accident and had not received life preservers until the plane had hit the sea and water was gushing in through its broken floor.
 The four men of the Cavaliers crew who survived were close-lipped as to the cause of the accident which killed three of the 13 persons aboard and flung the other 10 into the Atlantic 300 miles from the nearest land where they drifted for 10 hours before picked up by the tanker Esso Baytown. But Captain Neil Richardson, first officer of the $200000 Imperial Airways craft, said he had ordered the stewards to distribute life preservers before the crash. The radio log of the Cava- Her while it was fighting to stay in the air, showed that the crew had been aware of impending disaster for almost an hour before it over took the plane.
 Probe Begins Today
 Today began the investigation into the disaster. Captain M. R. Alderson, master of the Cavalier, and his crew were to be questioned by Captain G. c. Pirie, air attache of the British embassy, and Paul E. Bewshea, of the Imperial Air ways. An expert of the civil aero- nautics authority will be present, but only as an observer. The United States has no official part in the in- vestigation. It has agreed, for pe- riod of IS years, to accept British certifications of -worthiness of British ships operating out of American ports in return for a British agreement to accept Ameri- can certifications.
 The survivors said there had been only "six or seven" life preservers for the 13 occupants. They did not know whether there had been more in the plane which were not used.
 Returning to tumultous greeting in the harbor and on the pier, the survivors appeared to be in good condition. Physicians and ambu- lances had been waiting but only two of the 10-women whose hus- bands were among the three whc died-needed medical attention. By contrast. the other eight waved happily to the welcoming crowd.
