Diverging Testimony
 Wins Man Discharge
No Evidence of Negligence on Part of Hartford Driver
 ShOwn-Five Others Receive Noes

Widely diverging testimony of state witnesses won 6 discharge in traffic court today for Elmer L. Johnson, "A, of 779 Capitol avenue, Hartford, who was arrested Nov. g on a charge of violating the rules of the road. The case was the only one tried during the weekly session, with IT cases, a comparatively small number, on the docket.
 Five drivers received nolles on payment of total of $35, while two received nolles without payment. Nine cases were continued.
 Judge T. E. Conway discharged Johnson, saying he saw no evidence on negligence on the part of the accused, Johnson was arrested after an accident at East Main and Hay den streets, in which Mrs. Mary Bowling, of Orange street, was sev- erely injured when struck by pas senger car, operated by Jacob Albert, of East Main street.
 Patrolman Walter Hayes claimed that Albert's car hit the woman only because it was struck from the rear by the truck driven by Johnson Mrs. Bowling and her husband, John, both testified that the truck struck the rear of Albert's car after Mrs. Bowling had been knocked down by the Albert automobile.
 Wilfred Lynch, 21, of GA South Leonard street, charged with reck- les driving, received nolle on pay ment of $15. Such disposition of the case was recommended by Prosecutor Frank Healey, who said that though the youth had been ar- rested three times before on motor vehicle law charges, he was unable to pay fine, and any payment made would have to be made by his family. Allowing the reckless driving charge to stand, he said, would re- suit. in the suspension of LynchS license, and kep him from the high ways in the future.
 The following drivers received nolles on payment of the sums noted:. John B. McHugh, 46, of Radcliff avenue, charged with vio- lating the rules of the road, $5; Michael Turzo, 20, of 137 Bradley avenue, same charge, $5; John K. Foran, IT., of Hamden, rules of the road, $5; Phillipe Guertin, q, of 236 Bank street, same charge, $5.
 Nolles without payment were en- tered in the cases of Clarence H. Olsted, 39, of l075 Highland avenue and Charles Foley, 21, of Watertown both charged with violating the rules of the road.

National reaction was reported to- day to the plea that the churches of America, of all denominations, join in offering prayers that America might find the logical way of rid- ding the nation of the diseases of un-Americanism. as voiced Friday night by Dr. Edward James McCor- mick, noted Toledo surgeon, and grand exalted ruler of the BP.O.E.
 In radio address over WIZ he urged that all efforts directed against subversive activities be cor related and unified under one great group. Under one leadership, this group would constitute bulwalk of defense for democracy, he said.
 Complacency Feared
 "The greatest danger of Ameri- canism," continued MT. Mccormick, lies in the complacency of the Amer ican people, many of whom cannot, or will not, believe or admit that evil is afoot and directed at the very foundation of the American gov ernment." He pointed out that both President Roosevelt's congressional message, and the report of the Dies committee were more than sufficient indication of the fact that subver- sive activities were no "boogy man" but were threatening democracy on many fronts.
 "AmericaniSm is defined in the Declaration of Independence" said Dr. Mccormick, 'in which our founders recognized that all men were created equal, were endowed with certain inalienable rights, and that they derived these rights from the Creator, and not from a form of government. We are ever striving for equality of dignity and oppor- tunity, and we should aim at econo- mic equality. The future of our democratic form of government de- bends, in no small degree, upon the interest manifested in the less for tunate by the more fortunate"
 Pointing out that those who still come to American seek fredom de- nied elsewhere, Dr. Mccormick warned that the misuse of freedom in America is likely to result in the loss of liberty.
 Liberty
 Liberty is not license" he as- serted. "The rights of others and our duties toward God must be con- sidered. It behooves every American citizen to see that all respect the Creator, the moral law and the laws of the land. It behooves the en- ployer to recognize the rights of

ton to prevent the sale of all maga-
zines which are forbidden to pass
