 Sails for Boston
 Cardinal O'Connell will stay aboard the Vulcania until he sails for Boston late this afternoon. He mentioned that he had been touched by the many letters praying for his health and safe journey on his trip to Rome. During the journey from Italy he sat for a portrait in full robes by Miss Margaret Fitz- hugh Browne who was commis- stoned by fellow traveller, Henry A. w. Wood, inventor. Wood said he planned to present the portrait to the city of Boston as a memorial to his mother who was converted to Catholicism.

 Carinal Mundelein of Chicago and Cardinal Villaneuve of Quebec ar- rive from Rome later today on the Nornandie.
 The prelate will sail for Boston on the Eastern Steamship liner St. John which leaves here at 5:30 D. m. He was accompanied by his nephew, Joseph E. C'Connell, Judge Paul c. Kirk, of the Massachusetts, superior court, and two secretaries, Mgrs. Jeremiah Minihaf1 and Mi chael Splaine, rector. of St. Mary's church at Brookline.
 One of the notable features of his 1000 mile trip, Cardinal O'Connell said. was the fact that his health

out the echo of Fascist militarists from across the Alps.
 Neither side, however, has yet taken a position that would make peaceful settlement, impossible and whether one or the other does so will depend on developments else- where.
 In Great Britain, the government of Prime Minister Neville Cham berlain was rapidly drawing more clearly a line on which the demo- cratic bloc will be ready to fight. There are still many vague spots on that chalk line but the British cabinets action in providing for an armed force of almost a million trained men to be ready for action in event of war will ring through Europe's capitals more ominously than dozen radio speeches on the shores of the Mediterranean.
 Europe on War Footing
 Almost all of Europe is now on a wartime footing. Germany has kept her standing army at around a million. France has been pouring daily thousand more of Europe's finest troops into the German from tier defenses. Italy's mobilization of reserves has been quiet but steady since the first of the year. Poland and Rumania have mobilized from tier reserves or strengthened garri- sons in danger spots. Hungary is unofficially at war. Even little Swift zerland has looked to her border Notifications.
 When the democracies make def1- mite the line on which they will fight, every power on the continent will be fully prepared to march at the first provocative or accidental shot.
 One of Britain's chief worries at present is Poland and the vist of Col. Josef Beck, Polish foreign minister, to London and Paris next week may be a vitally important diplomatic journey. Poland so far has refused to come into the British-led front aimed at Adolf Hitler, but has hint ed that she might do so if assured of military support.
 Poland May Get Promise
 There are persistent reports now

felt declaration ought to be backed up by military agreements.
 It was noted that Chamberlain's announcement of the territorial army reinforcement coincided with reports of German pressure on Po- land.
 Hence diplomatic quarters inter- preted the announcement as an in- direct admonition to Germany as well as an implied assurance to Po- land that Great Britain was ready to do its share in any "stop Hitler" bloc.
 38 Divisions to France
 It was estimated that Great Brit ain, because of increases proposed in army strength, would be able to send 38 divisions of men to France as an expeditionary force in event of war. It was made known recently that Britain was preparing to send 19 divisions to France If necessary"
 There was general approval here of the firm speech of Premier Eduard Daladier of France on Italy's aspirations" and Germany's ex- pansionism.
 British leaders were consulted be- fore Daladier made his speech, it was understood, and it was said to- day that he showed good judgment in refusing to be lured into submit- ting proposals to Italy and making 1t plain that Premier Benito Musso- lini fust make his own bid for any concessions.
 Britons watched closely for Mus- solini's reaction, which they expected to be unfavorable at first.
 Heads Of Revolt Political quarters suggested that Chamberlain, in announcing the re- inforcement of the territorial army, had moved for one thing to head of a revolt against his policies by an important group of conseyatives led by Winston Churchill, Anthony Eden and Alfred Duff Cooper. They had come out almost openly for an over- throw of Chamberlain, for a national union government including labor and liberal leaders and for national conscription.
 1 Eden, in a speech last night con- tinuing the demand for firm govern ment action against the dictators, said:
 "The peril which confronts us all is based on the tyrannical abuse of power in this smash-and-grab new world.
 "A formidable task confronts the freedom loving demoeracies if they are to survive.
 ITO face the racketeers of power politics, confidence in national lead- ership and self discipline within the state are essential"

 White Statement
 The complete statement of MT White follows:
 The statement in the Water bury Republican that the Citizens Good Government association is insisting that the referendum on the city manager charter be held on the date of the city election in October is not true. We are in- sisting that this matter be decided at special election. The people of Waterbury are ready to go to the polls this spring or this fall and win their fight for a modern and efficient form of city govern ment.
 The c. G. G. A. would like to have this referendum in May End still hopes that the cities and bor- oughs committee of the legislature will so report out the bill. How ever, if they decide that the ref erendum shall be held in October and the regular election postponed until November, the c. G. G. A. will have to be satisfied.
 We want our members and all interested citizens of Waterbury to know that we have not changed our position on this matter, but we must consider the views of many members of the general as- sembly who seem to feel that the referendum should be held at a special election in the fall.
 We hope that those of our sena- tors and representatives who have gone on record as being in favor of a referendum on a city man. ager charter at special election will continue to support our bill, as the date of the referendum will not make 1t any less desirable.

ONE YEAR GIVEN
 HER TO DECIDE

Elgin, H., March 30-(UP)-Miss Adele Gay, 32, today had one year to make up her mind whether she will marry and get from $35,000 to $70,00O under her fathers will, or whether she will remain single and get $5.
 Seven years ago Miss Gay, born Goldman, renounced the Jewish faith and joined the Congregation al church. Shortly after, she changed her name.
 The will of her father, Harris Goldman, 90, who died Sunday, was offered for probate at Geneva yes- terday. Terms of the will stipulated that Miss Gay would receive one seventh-valued at from $300,O0 to $500 O00-if, within year, she mar ries man of the Jewish faith. Otherwise $5.
 q don't know what I'm going to do," Miss Gay said. T have no in- tention at present of marrying any, one."

 2-"I have said and I maintain that we shall not cede an inch of our territories nor a single one of our rights"
 5"France signed the 1895 accord. Faithful to Ter commitments France is ready to continue their complete and loyal enforcement. France does not refuse to examine propositions that might be made to her in the spirit of equity of these accords, on the bases I have defined"
 Challenges Veracity
 As his speech was interpreted here, Daladier practically challeng- ed Mussolini's veracity over the meaning of Italy's note of last December.
 "The essential argument invoked by the Italian note is: The Ethiop- ian conquest and the creation of an Italian empire created new rights in favor of Italy. I have no need to say that we can not accept this argument. What does it signify? It means that each new conquest r each new concession opens new rights. Thus the demands which could be presented to us would be practically limitless, since each one satisfied would bear within 1t the germ of future demands"
 The Italian note of Dec. 1T, re- vealed, in the opinion of French ob- servers, that Premier Mussolini .in- tended to revive the secret clauses of the 1915 treaty of London.
 Denounced Agreement
 The Italian note denounced the Franco-Italian agreement of 1885 and implied that settlement would have to be based on the treaty of Lof1- don.
 The French note contested the Italian argument that the 191g agreement was void.
 The 1915 treaty was signed by Great Britain, France, Russia and Italy and resulted in Italy's joining the allies against Germany in the World War. Its Article XIII, to which Italy referred in its Decem- Der note, provided that in the event Britain France or Russia obtained colonial expansion at Germany's ex- pense, Italy would have her just share.

 May Meet Goering
 It was reported that before he returned to Rome he might meet Field Marshal Hermann Goering Adolf Hitler's right hand man, at Naples.
 In some Fascist quarters 1t was even rumored that Generalissimo Francisco Spranco of Nationalist Spain might attend this meeting or meet them later at some con- venient point for conference on Italian -German-Spanish policy.
 The 250,000 men whom Mussolini called to the colors-180,00 of the 1918 class and 10000 of the 1919 class-were moving to their barracks even before he left Rome. They car- ried banners inscribed "Sunisia -Dji- bouti- Canal,"' "The Mediter- ranean is Ours" and More Can- mons. More Battleships, More Air. planes" They were given uniforms and sent by train to their destina- tionS.
 The men are those born in 1918 and the first four months of 1919 It was understood that their call was a normal one for this time of year and that they had received notifications of their liability for training service several weeks ago.
 Italy Disappointed
 Italian disappointment at the tone of Daladiers speech was plain. Morning newspapers concentrated on the Nationalist victory in Spain. They published only excerpts from the French Premier's speech and without comment. A typical head- line was that of the Messagero:
 'Daladier adds another never to the long series already existing"
 High Fascist party circles, said Daladier,s insistance on using the 1895 Italian French agreement as a basis for negotiations made it difficult for the Italian government to find any means of inaugurating friendly talks, because Italy de- nounced this agreement in note of last December.
 Stronger Than Expected
 The reaction in authoritative quarters was that the speech was stronger than might have been ex- pected after the reserved speech which Mussolini made Sunday.
 Fascists held that the speech was almost a rejection of his overtures for settlement of outstanding ques- tions.
 In some quarters it was suggested that France hoped to maneuver Italy into making more concrete statement of aspirations" before any move was made. to negotiate.
 Mussolini's visit to Calabria takes him into farming and sheep grazing areas. It is similar to the tours he made during the Ethiopian war.

More than 50 truck lines suspend ed operations as compromise nego- tiations were being pressed in Rhode Island. They joined the three major companies involved in the strike when it first was called last week.
 Perishable goods were permitted to move and no serious consequences have thus far been reflected in in- dustrial lines as result of the dispute.
 All Night Session Providence, R. l., March 30-(UP) Negotiations in the 11-day south ern New England truck strike re- cessed at a. m. today to await com pletion of a compromise peace pro- posal.
 They reconvened at 10 a. m. Representatives of the strikers and the employers had been in session 12 hours with Federal and State Labor officials when the recess was taken. They met in Governor Will liam H. Vanderbilt's suite at Hotel Biltmore.
 The compromise proposal was being drafted by a subcommittee consisting of Carl Gill, ace Federal Labor Department conciliator, Ches- ter G. Fitzpatrick of Worcester, Mass, chairman of the strikers negotiating committee, and Joseph Adelizzi, New Haven, Conn, truck firm owner.
 The all-night conference was the first since negotiations broke off Sunday with rejection of another compromise proposal by the employ CTS. The strikers had accepted the plan. Meantime, congestion at railroad and steamship yards was eased as trucks manned by union drivers from Boston, where employers signed wage-increase agreements re- gently after similar strike, began moving .piled-up freight with the

 Hartford, Conn, March 30.-(UP) The truck strike in Connecticut was virtually 100 per cent effec- tive today" according to Myles H. lingworth, secretary, of the Motor Truck association O, Connecticut.
 Illingworth said between 1,500 and 2,000 drivers, helpers and platform men were out Of work and more than 60 operators had suspended transportation schedules.
 "All of the major companies are out" he said, land eventually he effects of the suspension will be felt by industries. Thus far there have been no complaints from nanufac- turers."

Such move-crea. tion of a military alliance against the Reich-would almost force tht other secondary powers of Europe te choose their side in the struggle be- tween the democracies and the die. tators.
 It might also have an important reaction in Spain, where National. ist troops of Gen. Francisco Franco were completing the occupation oi all parts of the country without any serious opposition.

Study Employment Status


 NHartford, Conn, March 30 -(UP) -The senate today approved bill authorizing the governor to appoint a commission to study the employ ment situation as it effects persons mere than 45 years old and to rec ommend remedial legislation" by May IS.
 The bill was passed in the house and now goes to the expressing clerk. The governor was expected to sign it late in the day and announce the personnel of the commission. It was one of the recommenda- tions in the governors inaugural ad- dress that some means be found to place men over 45 in employment so that industry might have the bene- it of their long experience.
 The commission will serve without pay but will draw expenses. By re- porting May IS at the latest the governor hoped for formulation of a program for approval by the Gen. eral Assembly this session.
 Estimates have been made that nearly 30,000 persons fall into the more than 45 years old classified tions and have been unable to find jobs.
 Other Bills
 The Senate tabled a bill which would create state trade schools in every county and rejected another forbidding trade schools to enter competitive bids with private indus try.
 In the House, a bill authorizing the governor to appoint commis- sion of five to report on the ad- visibility of a health insurance pro- gram was disapproved. Another similar measure is pending.
 The same action was taken on a bill to create a state licensing board for real estate dealers.
 The House rejected proposal judges of probate be put on salary basis of from $2000 to $6000 year and the present fee system be aban- doned, and also rejected recom- mendation that higher fees be paid probate judges.
 Both Senate and House adjourn ed at noon because of luncheon of Republican members.
