TWO BALDWIN MEN
 IN WASHINGTON
Joseph M. Tone, James Clerkin Act as Agents
 in Textile Wage

Washington, June 20. (UP)-Two representative of Gov. Raymond E. Baldwin of Connecticut today urged wage-hour Administrator Elmer F. Andrews to approve the 32 l-2 cents an hour textile wage minimum to halt movement of northern textile mills to the South.
 Connecticut Labor Commissioner Joseph H. Tone and President James Clerkin of the Connecticut State Federation of Labor (AFL) said that there are very few tex tile mills left in Connecticut" be- cause of migration to the South.
 Tone said that Northern labor standards are liar better" than in the South and that even the B 1-2 cent minimum won't completely wipe out advantages in favor of the South.
 'Since the statutory minimum automatically increases to 30 cents next October 24, I'm wondering why you're setting the textile wage at only 32 1-2 cents," Tone declared.
 Clerkin, who said that he repre- sented Baldwin as well as the state federation of labor, said that the most tedious task" confronting or ganized labor in. Connecticut was maintaining present wage levels in the textile mills.
 Miss Florence Peterson, chief of the bureau of labor statistics in- dustrial relations division quoted figures to support an assertion that the textile industry had more strikes regardless of economic conditions than any other large industry.

The number of workers on the eastern Qualifications were practical ly doubled recently by the drafting of new large numbers of builders, military engineers and labor front workers.
 Well-informed Nazi sources ex- pressed the view that two speeches made by Propaganda Minister Paul Joseph Gcebbels at Danzig during the week marked the beginning of a new offensive for a settlement with Poland.
 Climax At Any Moment
 These sources believed the climax will come sooner than expected.
 Although 1t was officially denied trat there are any new troops con- centrations on the Polish frontier, 1t was understood Fuehrer Adolf Hit Ter at Obersalzberg and government officials in Berlin are ldevoting most of their attention to German-Polish relations.
 Particular emphasis was being laid on the German minority in Poland and recent German-Polish retaliatory measures against one another's nationals. ls-
 Germans denied that the maneu- vers were adjusted to any political time table. Observers recalled. how ever, that last years maneuvers. whether by chance or otherwise, had brought the army to peak strength just at the most critical point of of the Czechoslovak problem.

Attorney Peck For Leary
 Attorney Josiah H. Peck argued on behalf of MT. Leary for 55 ni1- utes, charging that everything had been done that can be done to pre- vent the man from having a fair trial" He argued that Judge Inglis ought to stop the matter where 1t is and not make the defendants go to the expense-trouble- time: and undergo the nervous strain of seeing the case go to the jury"
 He said that the publicity, includ- ing newspapers and radio had been a factor in preventing fair trial. Whether it leaked into the jury box I don't know" he cried, but jury boxes are very leaky."
 Attorney Cassidy Argues
 Attorney John H. Cassidy, argu- ing on behalf of the other five de- fendants stated that whatever happens in this case. it will go down in history as the outstanding case resting on inference = inference upon inference"
 Other defense counsel will argue on behalf of their clients through- out the afternoon. It is not expect- ed, however, that the arguments will be concluded this afternoon. When defense counsel complete their motions for dismissal, Special Prosecutor Hugh M. Alcorn will be afforded an opportunity to make a statement before Judge Inglis issues his ruling.
 State Failed To Prove All defense counsel concentrated on the argument that the state had failed to prove its case, in that 1t had attempted to prove multiple conspiracies insead of a single con- spiracy as alleged in the informa- tion.

FIVE BRITISH YOUTHSG|vEN ROUGH HAVING Stripped By Japs, Prodded With Sticks for Chinese
 Amusement TROUBLE IS FEARED
 AT COMING FESTIVAL Admiral Yarnell of U. s. Navy Inspects Marines of
 Tientsin Garrison
BY JOHN R. MORRIS United Press Staff Correspondent

Tientsin, China, June 20. (UP) - Five British youths were stripped by Japanese sentries and prod ded with sticks by Japanese officers for the amusement of a Chinese crowd before the blockaded British conces- sion, British sources said to- day.
 The youths were trying to leave the British concession by the Wood row Wilson Street entrance, on their way to the Country Club, it was asserted, when the Japanese halted them.
 Fear of a dangerous outbreak increased as the Japanese temper mounted.
 Japanese authorities asserted that all negotiations to settle the incl dent had been suspended and that they had received. no instructions which would permit them to resume talks with British authorities.
 Anti-British posters were displayed at Japanese barriers before the British concessons, urging Chinese to leave the concession area. Prev iously, Japanese had permitted Chinese to enter but made it diffi- cult for them to leave, in order to intensity the food shortage.
 Fear of Trouble
 There was fear of trouble tomor- row when big Chinese crowds were due to assemble for the dragon boat festival.
 An even more serious situation was foreseen for Sunday when, Jap- anese sources announced, 5000 arm- ed white (Czarist) Russians have cooperated closely with the Japan csc since the start of the war in China.
 Japanese sources asserted that Chinese policemen in the British concession were showing "unrest" and attempting to leave the area. Japanese had threatened them with death unless they deserted their posts.

 JAP BLOCKADE
Firm Notes Are Delivered to Foreign Office Over
 Properties in China
BY H. o. THOMPSON

United Press Staff COrreSpOndent)
 Tokio, June 20 = CU.P) = Eu- gene H. Dooman, United States em- bassy charge d'Affaires, delivered firm notes to the foreign office to- day protesting against Japanese bombings of American properties in China and against the stoppage of supplies in Japanese blockade of Kulangsu, the foreign area of Annoy.
 Thus the United States threw its weight into the Far Eastern situa- ton despite Japanese efforts to iso- late Great Britain in the initial stage of its campaign to exert dom- ination over foretgn areas.
 The American action was not con- nected directly with the Japanese blockade of the British and French concessions at Tientsin. This is, at least on the surface, directed solely against Britain.
 However, the firm attitude which the United States was understood to have taken in it's communicati tions was expected to have important bearing on the entire Far East Situ- ation.
 First Move to Control
 The Japanese blockade of Tientsin was regarded as only the first move in a considered campaign to obtain control of all foreign areas in China.
 The blockade of Julangsu started immediately after that at Tientsin, and its affects all foreign residents equally.
 At Kulangsu, where Japanese warships have been intercepting food shipments, there are also AZ men of United States naval land- ing party. They and a correspond ing number of British and French marines, were landed to remain there until A men of a Japanese landing party left.

CITY MANAGER
 BILL IS SIGNED
Gov. Baldwin Affixes His Signature to Important
 Bill for Waterbury
Special to The Democrat

State Capitol, Hartford, June 20.- Gov. Raymond E. Baldwin today af- fixed his signature to the Waterbury city manager charter referendum bill thereby paving the way for special election in the Brass City Oct. 3 on the adoption or rejection of the pro- posed new charter. The bill had been passed in the House without de- bate and was approved by the Sen- ate shortly before adjournment af- ter 8 fight against 1t by Senator George T. Culhane had failed.
 Also approved by the governor was the administrative code, which be- comes effective only if the new char ter is adopted. The city manager charter would supersede the present strong mayor charter, adopted by the Legislature in 1881. The city manager plan is backed by the Cit- izens Good Government association, of Waterbury.
 Lengthy Bit of Legislation
 The city manager bill is one of the lengthiest pieces of legislation ever passed in the Assembly. Its text in cludes the entire proposed charter, under which Waterbury will be gov erned after next January if the vot- CTS so decide Oct. 3.
 The city election, under the bill. is set back to Nov. IA. If the new char ter is adopted, the voters on that date will elect seven city councilmen and seven members of the board of education. If the charter is defeated Oct. 8, then on Nov. IA the voters will choose a mayor and other city officials as usual.
 Select City Manager
 The city council. under the char ter, would select q city manager, who would have the broadest powers. considerably greater than those en- joyed now by the mayor under the strong mayor" charter. There would be mayor under the city manager plan, but he would have no power other than to preside at council meetings and sign ofiicial documents. He would be chosen by the council men from their own ranks.

 The court did not press at this point for any explanation of what messages might have been received from the after compartments, which even at that time probably were flooding.
 It was shortly afterward that the submarine flummeted to the bot tom = 40 fathoms down = of the Isle of Shoals,
