Detroit, June 12 = (U.P) - The visit of King George and Queen Elizabeth to the United States has political angle, Father Charles E. Coughlin said in his Sunday radio sermon.
 "The strategy or the psychol- ogy of their imperial majesties' visit" Father Coughlin said, "is in- tended to use their lovely personal ities to nullify our basic foreign policy of no entanglements and to off f-set the ill-feeling which was generated in the minds of Amer ican taxpayers as the result of Great Brltain's--inability, shall l say?- to pay her debts"
 The radio priest said the royal visit also might be discerned as an attempt on the part of "so-called democratic nations to amalgamate their weakened forces under the guise of democracy"
 He predicted that soon after the King and Queen leave the United states efforts will be made in cone ercfs to pass a neutrality bill grant, ing President Roosevelt power lc determine an aesressoE nation and

 Aboard Royal Pilot Train, en- route to Sherbrooke, Que, June 12. -UP)-King George and Queen Elizabeth rode along the great "un- fortified frontier" today, returning for more plaudits from their Can adian subjects after triumphant four-day visit in the United States that was conceded everywhere to be a master stroke of British states manship.
 They were back on their. stream lined train which left Hyde Park, N. Y, at 11:09 (EDT) last night, and following again an arduous schedule that took them out of the United States beyond Rouses Point, N. r., shortly before ' a. m., and which called for stops for three brief re- captions in Quebec towns today, the first at Sherbrooke at 12:50 p. m.
 The royal train arrived in Delson, Que, at 7:45 a. m. and pulled up a mile from the gaily decorated railroad station where it will remain until 10 a. m., (EDT) when the trip to Sherbrooke will start.
 Mill About Train
 Hundreds of men, women and children from Delson and nearby towns milled around the station, hop ing to catch a glimpse of the king and queen. Royal Canadian Mounted, Provincial and railway po- lice and Scotland Yard agents kept the crowd at a distance and the royal couple remained in their pri- vate car.
 The United States visit, that end- ed with a leisurely Sunday, featured by hot dog picnic, at President Roosevelt's Hyde Park estate, had aroused worldwide speculation over its success, its significance and possible consequences. But in the records of British diplomacy, it was put down already as one of the greatest triumphs in years.
 There had been those who feared that the visit of reigning Brit ish monarch to the United States might be misinterpreted. They had dreaded a mis-step, mishap, per-

 Closes His Case ROWLAND IS VERY.
 ILL AT HOSPITAL There Is Much Secrecy About Present Condition
 of City Controller
BY JOSEPH F. DONAHUE Democrat Staff Reporter)

Permission to call Con- trolled Sherwood L. Rowland as a states witness in the Waterbury conspiracy case at an indefinite time in the future will be sought by Spe- cial Prosecutor Hugh A. AL corn before he announces the close of his case.
 Rowland, who defeated Controller Daniel J. Leary in 1887 by B votes and subsequently, took office to bring charges that numer- ous city records had disappeared, thus precipitating the extraordinary grand jury probe, is seriously ill and may not be available for several weeks. No change in his condition was reported at Waterbury hospital today.
 Silent On Condition
 Attendants at the hospital refused to discuss his condition, and his attending physician, Dr. Charles 4ikA6CAhC Wao C400AAy AcNO4AkNs
 Special Prosecutor Alcorn has ob- ta;ned a certificate concerning Row. lands condition from Dr. Engelke and this will be used in his motion for permission to call the controller at a later date.
 Meanwhile, with speculation cen- tering around the expectation that the state will close it's case following the testimony of County Detective Edward J. Hickey, who will take the stand tomorrow, defense counsel was planning to make motions to dis miss the conspiracy charges.
 The motions will be made in be- half of all defendants when Hickey steps from the stand, unless the state calls surprise witnesses and de- lays the conclusion of its case.

Strikers Resume Work On Southbury Project.
Week=End- Strike Was Started May 3l Over Hiring NOn-UniOn Drivers
Special to The Democrat)

Southbury, June 12.-Work on the construction of the $3,000,000 state home for the feeble-minded here was resumed today after delay of almost two weeks caused by strike of A. F of L. union workmen. Set clement of the strike was reached at weekend conferences between officials of the Waterbury Truck Drivers union and the E. & F. Con- struction Go. of Bridgeport.
 A union spokesman said today that the company had agreed not to hire any non-union drivers for work at the hospital site, or to use non- union men in deliveries to the scene. The agreement allows the company to employ Bridgeport driv- CTS, but they must be union mem- berS.
 Called On May 31
 The strike was called May 31 by the drivers in the protest against alleged hiring of non-union drivers and the hiring of drivers from out of the Waterbury locals jurisdiction. Members of several other A. F. of L unions joined the strike in Sym- pathy, and work at the hospital had been halted.
 More than 400 men took part in the strike. The early stages of the walk-out found each side waiting for the other to make the first move, and the first conference was not held until late last week.
 Confer In New Haven
 The settlement was reached at a conference in New Haven, attended by Rudolph Tata and Timothy Col lins, business agent and secretary of the Waterbury Truck Drivers local, and Philip Eipfano, president of the E. & F. International rep- resentatives of the union also took part in the conferences.
 End of the strike will allow con- struction work on the buildings to proceed. The contract given the company by the state public works department calls for the buildings to be completed in the spring of l940.

 States Atty. CATHOLIC CLERGY
 ISSUES RESOLUTION Contraceptiye Devices Be- lieved to Be Articles
 Taken From Clinic

Agents of States Attorney William B. Fitzgerald today seized a quantity of uniden. tified articles at the alleged birth control" clinic at the Chase Dispensary on Field street, and indications were that the states attorney planned a searching probe into the situation. MT. Fitz- gerald admitted he was inves- tigating and it was believed that he plannee' to question officers of the Waterbury hospital, which the dispensary serves as the out- patient department, and Miss Jeannie Heppel, superintendent of the dispensary.
 It was understood that the articles confiscated at the dispenSary were contraceptive devices.
 Todays sensational developments followed the reading yesterday. at masses in virtually all Catholic churches of the city, of a resolution condemning the clinic and demand- ing that authorities investigate. App parently, however, the states att torney had begun his probe Satur- day morning, following the disclos- ure, in Friday nights Democrat, that the birth control" clinic was in operation. Miss Heppel told The Democrat that the dispensary housed birth control clinic and said it had been operating since last October, but subsequently, pr. B. Henry Mason, Waterbury hospital superintendents and other doctors claimed that it would be better des- cribed as a genealogical clinic"
 filings Visit to Dispensary
 County Detective Roland C.. All- ing and Deputy Sheriff Albert Fran cis paid the surprise visit to the dispensary shortly before 10 o'clock this morning. They conf1scated sew eral bags and boxes of articles and returned with them to the court- house. They were seen leaving the dispensary and entering the court house.
 States Attorney Fitzgerald late this morning began lengthy con- ference with Assistant States Attor- ney Walter w. Smyth and County Detective filling. No statement as to the purpose of the conference was made. He refused to discuss the seizure.
 Resolution of Clergy
 The resolution condemning the clinic was adopted by the Catholic Clergy Association of Waterbury at a special meeting Saturday morning at the rectory of the Church of the Immaculate Conception. The priests declared that birth control is com trary to moral law and that diSsem- ination of birth control information is illegal, and called on Catholics of Waterbury to avoid the clinic. In vestigation by authorities, and prosecution, if necessary, were call- ed for.
