SPANISH CIVIL
 WAR NEAR END
(continued from Page D

The Nationalist government issued an official denial of Italian reports that the two named ofilcials of the Madrid government, Wericeslao Car- rillo, interior minister, and General Jose Ortega, had arrived at Burgos and reached peace agreement with the Nationalists.
 Nevertheless, guarded reports from Burgos indicated that certain Re- publican envoys had reached at least a suburb of Burgos Thursday and returned to Madrid the same day with the Nationalist terms.
 It was understood that the Re- publican defense council met Thurs day night to consider the National ist terms.
 These terms provided for an un- conditional surrender, according to the Nationalist version. It was taken as confirmed that the Nationalists required an unconditional surrender in principle but had offered to per- init any Republicans who felt they might be subjected to reprisals to leave Madrid and other areas. The Nationalists required also that all Republican troops be dismissed, that all armaments be handed over to them, and that the Republican re- gimes in Republican territory dis solve themselves. A further import ant requirement. was that mined areas in the Madrid defense zone be made safe.
 From the Republican side 1t was reported persistently that the Re- publicans demanded 8 promise against reprisals to men who re- rnatned to surrender, and that the Nationalists engage to dismiss their Italian and German troops at once.
 The situation today seemed to be that teh Nationalists expected a re- ply from the defense council at any hour and that the end of the war was definitely in sight.

 Then, early last night, Rocco Da- bramo, of 2 Baldwin lane, reported that he had seen 8 boy and a dog, walking along the edge of, the dam. at about 3:30 p. m., Thursday. Police returned to the scene, and Deputy Chief Martin J. Campion of the fire department directed the installation of fire department lighting equip ment. For more than four hours the dam was dragged, but to no avail. Fire Commissioner Frank Healey was on hand, helping the firemen.
 Manning Boats
 Manning the boats were Lieut.. Maurice Noonan, and Privates Will liam Earth, Stephen Kelley, James ODonnell and Joseph Woods. Also aiding were Supt. Roach, Sergt. Mo- Weeney, Lieuts. William Foley, Joe seph Bendler and Connie Shana- han; and Patrolmen Ralph Belloisy. Edmund Class, Edward Sullivan, John Deeley, John McWeeney, Thomas Barley, Edward Sullivan, James Little and Michael Karple- man.
 Meantime the search in the woody swamp near the boys home was continued. Time after time search CTS went through the whole area from The Pines to a point near Hamilton park.
 Bioodhounds Gone
 The two bloodhounds which be- gan taking part in the search late Thursday night were returned yes terday afternoon to Ridgefield. James Nielsen, their trainer, said he was sure, from the way the dogs acted, that the lad was still in the swamp, and not far from his home. But police said this seemed im- probable in view of the fine-comb- ing given the whole section.

 Chase Foremen's Posse Members of the Chase Foremen's association, low-employes of the missing boys father, formed a vol unteer posse and joined in the hunt yesterday afternoon.
 Police and fircmen were hampered in their work yesterday and last night by the large crowds which gathered at key points of the search. Supt. Roach and Deputy Supt. Car son appealed to Waterburians to remain away.
 A marker plate. found on Wolcott road, was identified late yesterday as from a car owned by Louis AL bert, of Plainville. It was found that a broken bolt had caused the plate to fall off, and police gave MT. AL bert only a routine questioning.

no action will be taken, he Said. Tn the event of deadlock there might be civil suit for damages and an il- junction. Attorney Monzani said that the action will be based on ale gations of the discriminatory way in which the strike was called"
 Conspiracy Alleged
 Charges of unlawful combination and conspiracy in restraint of trade and unlawful interference with ifl- ,terstate-conmerce" were mentioned by Attorney Monzani. There were also possibilities of charges by vio- lation of the Sherman Antitrust act and the Clayton act, he said.
 A meeting of the C0nencticut Mo- tor Truck Association was held at Hartford yesterday with 50 members attending. It was agreed that "The owners of trucks in Connecticut will not take their trucks of the road tomorrow (Saturday)" It was added, that if the negotiating committee made request for such action 1t would be followed. Thirty-oi1e oper- ators in Massachusetts have locked out their employees, and taken their trucks off the road as reprisal to the strike against the three com- panies.
 Negotiations On
 Today, Business Agent Rudolph Tata of the Waterbury local was at Boston and Secretary Timothy Col lins was reported at Providence, talk ing part in negotiations.
 There were no disturbances in re- lation to the local strike, but no movements of strike bound trucks were reported. Counsel for the Adley Express Company and the Consoli- dated Motors Company, also affect ed by the strike, conferred yester- day with Attorney Monzani.

 "Then he reached into my pocket, toDk out my pencil without saying a word and walked toward the desk. He sat down and began drawing a bunch of funny marks on note book. For a few minutes I couldn't tell what he was doing. It didn't make sense.
 "Then I saw the marks emerge into a diagram. He hadn't said a word all this time. But now he pointed to a place he had marked, vacant lot,' and said:
 "My wife,s buried there"
 "He talked 8 little more but not much. He cried little but most of the time his nerves were well in hand and he seemed calm"
 He told Morris that after he had strangled his wife, step-daughter oi wealthy J. P. Stokes, a real estate dealer. he drove around in the night until he saw the vacant lot and its freshly thrown-up dirt mound. On investigation he found the mound tt be the fill for new sewer and that the sewer already had been laid.
 It took him only 8 moment to kick and haul the body to the ditch ano to cover it. After he had done that he went home and slept, he said.
 The next day he drove by the lot and found that workmen had com. pleted both their job and his-tht ditch was entirely filled.
 "I felt pretty safe then" he tolt Morris. T felt that 1t would never be discovered"
 Cunningham is 33; his wife wal 30.
 His confession as released by Nor. ris read:
 T strangled my wife, Eudora, and buried her in a partially filled sewer ditch. May God have mercy on my soul. After this I drove to the pos, office building and stayed until Il p. In., and then I went home and packed three travelling bags with hei clothes and took them to the south end of the May avenue bridge and threw them off on the west side by & squatter's shack. Then I drove home.

from Paris and London, especially those from London, leave us conn pletely cold because as you know the proverb says a barking dog never bites
 we are not even surprised at Britain trying to incite the great est possible number of nations to break the solidarity of the axis. We hope these nations are smart enough and know enough history to re- member that Britain has always found fools to fight for her.
 However, it seems that the axis has opened the eyes of many na- tions. Recent events have proved 1t.
 we continue our march straight ahead with one objective-peace and justice for all peoples-and on this celebration of the 2Oth anniversary of Fascism we are happy to cotl- firm that the Italian and German peoples are indivisible. and that any attempt to undermine this friendship in hope of separating us is destined to fail. It merely makes us laugh"
 A further sign of Italian German solidarity came last night when pr. Robert Ely, German Nazl labor front leader, was received ceref1on- iously at the railroad station here on his arrival to represent Germany at tomorrow's celebration of the 20th anniversary of Fascism which Is to be the occasion for Mussolini's speech.

 Up to Finance Board
 This, the finance board has found, might have been the case had 1t not been for the consider. able increase in welfare demand. Now, with February showing re- cord cost and the future uncertain as to how much city participation can be devised to continue VITA payrolls, already threatened with cut April l and May 1, about $50 to 500 persons. there is question what can be done If antIci. pated revenue. such as sewer assess ment payments, may be cut off by legislation now pending in Hartford.

 The investigation board that gath cred the evidence on which Brown based his report made these recom- mendations:
 1. Flying boats of the Cavalier type should be modified so as to give the crew more adequate control of oil temperatures.
 2. For emergency conditions, an additional supply of heat under con- trol of the crew must be made pos sible in order to raise temperature of the incoming air before reaching the carburetor jets.
 3. Passengers should be strapped in their seats at take-of and land- ing. The board called attention to the fact that on American airlines, passengers are required to do this.

 tor George T. Culhane of Water bury. The bill provides that no member of 8 jury in the state shall be over 70 years of age. It has the endorsement of both Democrats and Republicans, is favored by judicial authorities, and passed the senate easily. The bill then went to the house, where automatic passage might be ordinarily expected. But on Wednesday, Republican strate- gists thought they might meet with some stray opposition to the bill in their own party and asked that action be held over for day or two. The bill came up again yesterday, and again the leadership was tirl- certain, 50 now the bill goes over to next week, probably then to be held over again.
 The dual job issue has placed Gov. Baldwin and the Republicans Ion the spot" The Democrats want an all-inclusive bill, one that goes too far for the satisfaction of the c. o. P. brain trust, but the Repub- licans are fearful of letting the Democratic version of the bill get- ting to the floor of the house. They are not at all certain that their own ranks would not desert them and pass the Democratic bill. This would be the final blow to a crumbling leadership. The bill is now in the governors hands, with much de- pending on how he handles the situation.
 l All the legislative committees are dominated by Republicans by 8 13-3 margin, but even the once-power- full judiciary and finance commit tees have seen their reports on bills overturned time after time. In other sessions a report by the judi ciary committee would scarcely be questioned, but this year finds the committee on the defensive most of the time. For this reason, 1t has held up some of its reports, and is afraid to take action on other important bills.
 Gov. Baldwin's ambitions for 1940 will suffer 8 serious setback unless the legislature gets down to business. The governor should he decide to seek the nomination for U. 8. sen- ator or even, as is not too remote, the nomination for vice-president of the United States, will offer big target if critics can point back to A do nothing" General Assembly dominated by Republicans.
