exception, to permit the importation of contraceptivcs, and their distri- button through the mails on advice of physicians, the Massachusett high court refused. Upson said. The de- fense counsel contended that the Connecticut statute was violation of the 14th article of the U. S. Con- stitution and the first article of the Connecticut Constitution.
 He reserved the right to introduce factual evidence in the event his motion for dismissal is denied.
 Not Proper Claims
 States Attorney Fitzgerald con- tended that Upson's claims of vio- lations of constitutional rights are mot proper claims" that they have been previously made and over- rulcd'. He pointed out that the section "forbids, with no exceptions, the use of contraceptives".
 The local situation Is very analo- gous, he said to the case of Carolyn Gardner and others, operating the North Shore Mothers Health Office at Salem. Mass, who were convicted of similar violations May 26, 1888. The supreme court of Massachusetts,, to which the Connecticut supreme court "pays respectful attention" refused to allow any exceptions in that case, he said.
 The case of Margaret Sanger of New York was also referred to by the state. "The statute has been on the books since l879,' said Mr. Fitzger- ald,' and 1t must be enforced, un- less 1t is repealed"
 None of the defendants were pre- sent during the hearing.

 Danzig spent a quiet week end Citizens flocked to beaches.
 The United Press Correspondent made a five hour motor tour through Danzig territory and found nothing of significance beyond the admitted fact that Danzig had put number of men in uniform during the last two weeks.
 Two things seemed apparent from the tour, and talks with people along the way: D Danzigers are in- creasingly confident that their ter- ritory will go to Germany before many weeks and 9 German army moving into the territory from the east might encounter 8 number of natural difficulties in the form of unbridged rivers and narrow wind ing roads.
 No Military Act1Vlty
 There was no sign of military ac- tivity along the 40 mile stretch to the East Prussian military base of Elbing The road was narrow and torouous. About 10 miles of it was under repair and detour was ne- cessary. One bridge was under re- pair, another was being replaced. Of four streams crossed, two were crossed by ferry.
 In Danzig City few uniforms were to be seen. The correspondent fol- lowed one of three trucks, filled with Nazi storm troops, up. the Bis choffs Hill, where a number of these troops are quartered in old army barracks. Two of the troops wearing the "SS" emblem and insig- mia marking them as members Of the Home Guard' stopped the cor respondents taxicab on top of the hill and told him that the rest of the road was closed

 lief rolls to an average of 100000 persons so that the, recently-voted $l,755, ,600, 900 appropriation may be stretched through the new fiscal year.
 Works Projects Commissioner, J. c. Harrington has telegraphed some state administrators advising them of their July relief quotas. Others were expected to follow today. It was indicated that June rolls, which av- eraged 2,600,000 persons, will be cut to 2,400,000 before Aug. l.
 Under tentative plans, gradual re- ductions will be made during August so that relief rolls will drop below the 2,000,0 900 mark in September and october, which are expected to av- craze 100000 persons. This will permit some slack" during the win- ter months, when rolls can be brought above 100000 to meet "cold weather" needs, after which they will again be chopped below the average" level Under the long range plan, rolls would be cut to 1,- 100000 next May, and drop to H. 500,000 by June 30, 1940, end of the current fiscal period.
 Meanwhile, work on all projects was suspended until Wednesday be- cause of the holiday confusion aris- ing from the new WPA bill passed by congress late Friday.
 Harrington ordered formal liquid- ation of the federal theater projects last Saturday. These employed about 1000 persons. Harrington said, how ever, they could remain on the pay roll pending final determination of their future status.
 On other federal projects, such as writing, arts and research, congress directed that they find some means of local sponsorship before Sept 1. Size of the sponsorship was not specified, but these projects must have at least 25 per cent local con- tributions by Jan. 1, putting them Tn the same status as building and other WPA undertakings.
 Farmers Get Big Help
 Washington, July 3.--(UP) The new deal today planned for record $2,500,000,000 lending spending pro- gram for agriculture as 1t entered the seventh year of its battle to re- store farm prosperity.
 More than a billion dollars will go directly into the pockets of farmers for soil conservation, for surplus commodities, as parity payments and for compliance with other provisions of the farm program. Another half billion will be spent for research and regular activities of the depart ment.
 With the transfer under President Roosevelt's governmental reorganiz- ation of the commodity credit cor poration, the farm credit admins tration, the farm security adminis- tration and the rural identification administration to the agriculture de- partment, another $1000, 100000 ill credit resources was made available for lending purposes.
 Estimated expenditures this fiscal year, added to $6,500,000,000 spent during the past six years, will bring the administrations farm aid cost to approximately $8,000 000,0O0-- more than WIS appropriated in the previous 20 years.

 to you concerning the recurrence of judgeship deals in the General As- sembly of this State. The recent deals are particularly disgraceful and, in my opinion, illegal. You may perhaps have read In the press that I have requested the States Attor- ney for Hartford County and the Governor of the State to take proper action in this matter.
 In addition, however, I think that 1t is the duty of the Bar Association of the State of Connecticut to take prompt and decisive action at the present time to do what it can to render the disgraceful action of the Assembly as nugatory and innocu- ous as possible. I, therefore, re- quest that you appoint a special committee of the Bar Association of the State of Connecticut to investi- gate the matter, the method, and the legality of the appointments made by the General Assembly of Connecticut of 1889 to our minor c1urts and to make reCommenda- tions US to the action which should be taken. should be glad to serve on such a committee with any oth- CTS whom you may wish to appoint.
 Very respectfully yours.

 Hardened Blockade
 True to It's threats, the Japanese army hardened its blockade of the concessions as preparations were made by the government in Tokio to negotiate with the British on the Tientsin dispute.
 John Anderson, a British subject born in China, was stripped nude and slapped in the face with his passport by a Japanese officer yes- terday at the Woodrow Wilson street entrance to the British concession.
 The Japanese, in promising today to investigate this incident, an- nounced that they had arrested Ed- ward T. Grifiths, British steam- ship engineer, on the charge that he had "insulted the Japanese army. and army spokesman said Edwards had been drinking.

 A Chinese mob was alleged to have attacked and damaged the British mission at Hungtung June 26. There was another demonstration Thursday, the dispatch said, when the missions Chinese employees were urged to resign.
 Nine hundred Chinese engaged in an anti-British demonstration at Fencheng June 28 and 800 held a similar demonstration at Lishui Thursday, 1t was alleged.
 As part of their intensified cam- paign against the British concession, the Japanese today spent SO much time Inspecting milk bound for the concession that a large part of 1t spoiled.

 Hickey May Attend
 Although Edward J. Hickey re- signed Saturday as county detective for Hartford county, to become su- perintendent of the state police de- partment, he is expected to be in regular attendance at the trial as usual.
 How much longer the trial will last Is surely matter of conjecture, in view of the uncertainty of indi- vidual defense counsel as to the time he will require.
 To Follow Alderman
 The defense of George H. Kings ley and John w. Meaney, botr of New York, and both members of the Kingsley auditing firm, will fol- low the Alderman defense. Attor- neys Benjamin Shade and Joseph J. Seaman will conduct that procedure.
 Mayor Hayes Defense
 When the defense of Mayor Frank Hayes will start is not definitely known, but according to Attorney James D. 0. Murray, MT. Hayes will take the stand. The fact that the Hayes defense did not come first is aside from the order which had been followed from the start of the trial.
 In all arguments and cross-exa ination of state witnesses, Attorney Murray, as counsel for Mir. Hayes had first preference, because his name appeared first on the bench warrant.
 Judge Ernest A., 1ngiis, who is con- ducting the trial, suggested that procedure followed early in the trial, Defense counsel argued in the or- der of the names of their clients on the bench warrant until the defense started. It Is reported that several times there were clashes among de- fense counsel as to who would make the initial arguments on important matters.
 Defense counsel, who have been together on the trial for the past eight months, are reported to be split wide open on several fronts.

Nancy Miller's Marriage To Hindu Is 1O-Year Success

 Eagerly waiting for discord trouble, and scandal, the curious found only a devoted married pair, obviously still honeymooning. The cx-rajah's English, his European clothes. his manners, were perfect.
 The caste-mark, imprinted on his Maharanee's forehead at the time of their marriage, was as incon- spicuous as the devotion of the two was obvious.

promises of support from Britain and France regarding Danzig.
 The Danzig government issued Q decree providing that all Dan1g citizens could be called up for work important to the state.
 Danzig itself was quiet and there were few visible signs'of the widely reported military activities when a United Press correspondent toured the free state territory after Albert Foerster, Nazi leader, told a dem- onstration by 5000 persons that that Danzigers were ready to make any sacrifice to return to the Reich and intended to do so.
 Italy planned army maneuvers on a large scale in the Pc Valley early in August, with King Victor En- manuel scheduled to review troops at Turin, within 30 miles of the French frontier.
 Danzig Nazi's Show Hand
 Danzig, July 3-CUP)-The Dan- zig NaZi government decreed today that all Danzig citizens be called for work regarded as important for the state.
 The decree was issued as Danzig awaited the arrival of the Polish diplomatic representative, Marian Chodacki, with a note protesting military preparations.
 Albert Foerster, Nazi leader in a speech to 5000 people at Tiegenhof yesterday, said that Danzig wanted to return to Germany and would do SO.
 "This is the aim of all Germans in Danzig" Foerster said. We are ready to make any sacrifices no matter how great to attain this end. We are even ready to sacrifice our lives to attain our freedom. Every Danzig German will work 10 bring Danzig back to the Reich"

 What State Claims

WnAL StAS tIHImS
 Opening his arguments today, MT. Fitzgerald said that the state claims that articles were kept and main- tained for the purpose of assisting, aiding and abetting violations of section 6246 of the general statutes. He said that the penalty was $50 fine, six months to year la jail or both.
 A stipulation signed by himself and MT. Upson, setting out that the Connecticut Birth Control League and the Waterbury Maternal Health Center were the owners of the con- traceptives and booklets seized by the state, was read by MT. Fitz- gerald.
 Kept. To Violate Law
 MT. Fitzgerald, contended on the basis of the stipulation that the ar- ticles were kept for the purpose of violating the law. Several bagsful of contraceptives were on the table during the hearing The entire group was considered single exhibit.
 In his arguments, Attorney Upsor held that the procedure was of crim- inal nature, and therefore the bur den was upon the state to establish beyond reasonable doubt, that the law had been violated. He said that the state was proceeding, in seeking condemnation order, under sec- tion 644l, and that the court would have to find that the articles were kept to violate the criminal laws 10 order them condemned. The at- torney continued that he felt the state had failed to sustain its bur- den.
 Tracing Statute History
 Tracing the history of the statute in question, Upson said that the statute (6246) was passed in 1876 as result of the work of Anthony Comstock, WI was instrumental also in passage of legislation against obscene literature. In 1888, he said the obscene literature provision was separated from section 6246, ano made singular.
 There has been no prosecutions under the section since 1888, he said and he referred to the present issue as "a case of first impression ir Connecticut"
 MT. Upson also stated that he hat agreed with the state that the ma. terial should not be destroyed, if al order were passed, before the tria of the criminal cases.
 Unconstitutional
 He continued that the section wa! unconstitutional, unless Judge Mo Evoy allowed an exception. The ex ception would grant that the con traceptives were being used only oi the advice of physicians to womer whom child birth might injure.
 There is distinct split amonl authorities n the cases in tn country. he said. He pointed ou that the state relies on a Massa chusetts case while the respondent rely on cases in the U. s. circui court of appeals, which had opposit results. He added. however, that m case in the country is based on statute of the precise phraseolog Of Connecticuts. The Connection statute. he said. does not prohibi the sale or distribution of the con traceptives. but merely the use o them.
