OId-Age Pensions
Raised 81 Monthly

Monthly assistance checks to Mon
tana's 10000 aged needy for July,
August and September will aver
age SIS. as compared with SIT for
the three previous months and
S2055 before April, according to |.
M. Brandiord. administrator for the
state public welfare board
The reduction during April May
and June was necessary because the
legislature did not appropriate the
amount the welfare board needed
for that period. A steady increase
in the number of aged needy re-
ceiving assistance, coupled with an
appropriation the same as. for the
last two years, made it necessary
for the welfare board to keep July,
August and September payments be-
low the previous S2055 average.

he Associated Press.

NEW YORK, April 1.-nder the
beguiling influence Of early spring,
police were told yesterday, an i'm
pulse toward larceny melted to love
in the heart Of Joseph Perez, 80.
The story, as told by Miss Marion
Cribbs, a nurse at Mount Sinai
Hospital:
She awoke In her darkened bed
room to find Perez holding one Of
her feet by the big toe. and tickling
the sole.
Nov this is a holdup," he said.
IF you open your mouth 1t means
your life.'
Miss Cribs sat up. and Perez sat
down on the bed beside her. He
looked at her intently.
why rob me?" asked Miss Cribbs.
II haven't any money"
II like you," said the intruder.
"As a matter Of fact I have a
thousand dollars and I want to
marry you.'
The way you entered my room
was not very gentlemanly." Miss
Cribbs remarked II wish you would
go away a little while"
She gave him a slip Of paper with
her telephone number on it, and
Perez departed.
When he called her last night she
made a "date"-and kept it with
a detective. Perez, arrested on a
charge of burglary, said in the line
up this morning that he did not
remember the incident very clearly.

6. U. Foreign Service
School Regent
Discusses Russia

DR.. Edmund A. Walsh, s. J., vice
president Of Georgetown University
and regent of the Foreign Service
School, who last night discussed
Soviet Russia's enigmatic position in
the present European turmoil, an
nounced forthcoming changes in
the schedule Of his Friday evening
public lecture course.
: To avoid lecturing on Good Fri
day, he will speak next Tuesday
evening at the usual hour In Me-
mortal Continental Hall. His topic
for that evening will be Education
In the American Democracy" Due
to the forthcoming National D. A.
r. congress, which will require other
uses of the hall. there will be no
lectures on April IA and April 81.
The final lecture in the series will
be given Friday. April %, in which
he will discuss the spiritual destiny
Of the two Americas.
Sees Desperation.
DR.. Walsh asserted last night that
tho Communist claim to influence
world politics has been transformed
into desperate attempt to assure
domestic stability and suppress do
mestic revolt. A war in Western
Europe, he warned, is all that Is
needed to renew Russia's hopes for
the world revolution.
I'm the international field" he
said. Communism has suffered
what may prove to be its final death
blow. The victory of Gen. Franco
has put final end to Lenin's dream
and Stains hope of seeing Europe
aflame at two ends-in Russia and
on the 1berian Peninsula. Defeated
In Spain, the Communist 1nterna-
tional has been obliged to turn its
attention to the domestic front in
order to salvage its leadership at
least within Russia. AS result, the
personal dictatorship of Stain has
been frightened"
Holds Disintegration Progresses.
DR.. Walsh expressed the hope that
European statesmen would do MOTH
ing to prolong the existence of the
Communist menace" or to retard
the "disintegration now clearly in
progress" He added:
If Herr Hitler and Signor Musso-
lini will practice self restraint and
the foresight of true craftsmanship
they will defer any further claims
or provocations, and thus give West
ern Europe breathing space for
peaceful development and recupera-
ton from the shocks of the last year.
Every month of peace and re-
covery In Europe will mean a pro-
portionate decrease in world Com
munism already notably on the
wane. But the first sound of frat
ricidal strife in Europe will bring
respite for Soviet Russia and mark
the beginning of new hopes for the
world revolution"

REPUBLICANS SPLIT
 ON APPOINTMENTS
Battle for $lO,OOO Job Is Most Bitter; Blackall
 Has Chance

Hartford, Conn.,, April (UP)- Two factions in the Republican party struggled today to put over their candidates for the $10,000 post of state finance commissioner.
 Gov. Baldwin was expected to make a nomination for the position tomorrow or Friday. He was not expected to reappoint the incum- bent Edward F. Hall, New Britain, holdover from the J. Henry Rora- back dictatorship.
 The Republican faction headed by National Committeeman Samuel F. Pryor, Jr., and former State Sen. J. Kenneth Bradley sought to gain the governors approval for their candidate former Sen. Kenneth Cramer Wethersfield, member of the governors military staff and assistant adjutant general.
 HarwoOd Heads Faction
 Another faction presumably head ed by State Chairman Benjamin E.. Harwood was reported as unalter- ably opposed to Cramer's appoint ment. The candidate of this group was Col. Raymond F. Gates, com- mandant of the soldiers home at Noroton.
 Both Pryor and Harwood factions are friendly with the governor al- though bitter towards each other The Harwood group charged the Pryor faction with repeated efforts to oust the state chairman. Brad ley himself was rumored a candi- date for state chairman.
 No major nominations were ex- pected today.
 As far as could be determined, this is the best available lineup of the governors appointments, which must be made this week:
 First Selectman Eugene Loughlin, Greenwich, for state welfare com- missioner to succeed Commissioner Frederic c. Walcott, Republican.

Safety Of Democracy Depends { On Educ ation
President Roosevelt Gives Address Before Child COn= ference Held at White House; Refers to Previous
 Speeches to Europe

Washington, April 26 - (UP) = President Roosevelt said today that the safety of democracy depends upon how well a"nation provides for the health and education of its youth. ~
 In an address to a White House conference on children, MT. Roose- welt said that only by these measures could democracy attain its chief goals.
 "The success of democratic insti- tutions is measured. not by extent of territory, financial power, ma chimes or ornaments, but by the desires, the hopes, and the deep lying satisfaction of the individual men, women and children who make up it's citizenship" he said.
 In this connection MT. Roosevelt referred to two recent important announcements he had made on foreign affairs.
 Refers To Europe
 "In an address on Pan American Day, two weeks ago, said men are not prisoners of fate, but only pri- soners of their own minds,'" MT. Roosevelt said. "'They have within themselves the power to become free at any moment
 "On April Is, in addressing the heads of the two great states (Hitler and MutssolinD, stated that I re- fused to believe that the world is, of necessity, a prisoner of destiny. On the contrary, said, It is clear that the leaders of great nations have it in their power to liberate their peo- pie from the disaster that impends It Is equally clear that in their own minds and in their own hearts the people themselves desire that their fears be ended

As the jury was excused while counsel argued over the admissibil- ity of records of the Waterburi Trust company, which Alcorn con1 tends can be connected with g City of Waterbury checks for $18,l18,25, Attorney Cassidy stepped to the fore.
 Before MT Alcorn makes any statement .. ." he started. T notice, that any claims he makes are print-' ed in the newspapers. Sometimes the evidence is excluded but the jurors find out the claims from the newspapers. They ought not to be printed"
 Jurors Must Not Read
 Judge Inglis commented, ir reply. that the jurors have been instructed not to read the newspapers.
 Continuing, Cassidy said, But the claims are printed verbatim" He added that when the jurors are ex- cused in the evening, two news- paperboys stand outside the court house with papers, containing head lines of the events.
 No Star Chamber-Alcorli
 This is not star chamber trial, snapped out Special Prosecutor AL corn. Ut is public. as it should be-, He added that the statements are proper for publication and that everyone will be substantiated."
 "I would object going into cham bers to discuss the admissibility of evidence" continued Alcorn. Tt should be done in court" Cassidy answered that the comments made by Alcorn and the manner in which the newspapers followed "are im- proper"
 Judge Inglis pointed out that in order to determine the admissibility of evidence, objected to by the de- fense, he must hear the claims of the states attorney, in the absence of the jury.
 Will Proceed, Unless Improper
 we will proceed unless it develops that something in the newspapers is improper" he said, terminating the discussion, and refusing to grant the defense request.
