YOUNG ROOSEVELT
 WILL BE MAJOR
Son of Late President The= OdOre Roosevelt Joins
 British Reg't

London, Oct. 24-(UP)-Kermit Roosevelt, son of the late U. S. Pres ident Theodore Roosevelt, will re- port for duty with a Middlesex in- fantry regiment as acting major on Saturday if he was recovered by that time from an attacl o finfiu- enza, it was reported today.
 Roosevelt is in Devonshire at present recuperating from his ill., ness, it was said. Previously, shortly after he obtained commission with the British army, Roosevelt had been gazetted a second lieutenant, although ill the World war he had risen to the rank of British captain.
 The war office said Roosevelt would draw the pay of an acting major and would remain with the Middlesex regiment two months. Then he will take a special course in machinegun training after which military authorities will decide what his active duties will be.
 Roosevelt is over age for the rank of acting major but the age limit will be waived, it was said. in view of his World war rank of captain and his record of previous service with the British army.
 It was explained that several 0ffi- cers of senior rank in the last wal had been gazetted second lieuten- ants only to be given higher ranks when they joined their regiments.
 Roosevelt has been reported de- sirous Of becoming a British citizeI and it was conceded that servic, with the British army doubtless would facilitate the acquisition oI British nationality.

MAYOR PERRIELLO
 STILL RESTRAINT
Undecided Whether He Will Run Independently
 or Submit to UpsOn

Mayor Patrick M. Perriello today was still undecided as to whether he will run for mayer as the can- didate of the Independent Republi- can party, which nominated him for the office by petition several weeks ago and which has been granted a place on the voting machines. T haven't made up my mind yet; I'm still giving the matter serious thought" the mayor said.
 No comment was made by Mir. Perriello on reports that the Inde- pendent Republicans, even at this late date. might seek to place full slate of candidates in the field. At present their only candidate is the mayor. Observers said, however, that any such attempt would be a clear violation Qf the law, recalling the statute which provides individ- ual nominating petitions for each candidate must be submitted by any new party. The time for filing more nominating petitions has expired
 Legal Action Threat
 Some of MT. Portfolios supporters who favor offering Q full ticket, hold if they attempt to do so the only way they can be halted as by legal action. Their feeling is that nc partyor group would be willing to lake the issue to court.
 However, it is known that some of the mayors closest arvisers not only object strerfuously to any such

DEATHS OF BABIES
 INVESTIGATED

Perth Amboy, N. J., Oct. 24-(UP) Authorities today investigated the steam deaths" of five babies in the nursery of Perth Amboy General hos pital.
 Four of the babies were asphyxi- ated at once by steam that escaped from a blown-out steam valve. A fifth died last night. ..
 The infants, three boys and q girl, were asphyxiated while they slept a few minutes before they were to have been taken to their mothers for their p a. m. feeding.
 Authorities found that the faulty steam valve, it's threads worn. had been taped. The tape had broken, apparently as the result of 8 jar or the normal pressure of the hospt- tal's low pressure heating system.

 By SculIy Accepted
TWO PRESENT OFFICE
 HOLDERS SELECTED
Registrar of Voters John T. Derwin, Town Clerk
 Mary Kilmartin Picked

A ticket of candidates almost entirely new to polit- ical life was offered the voters of Waterbury by the Demo- cratic party today, follow ing last nights city, town and school conventions. The can didates names were all chosen on recommendation of Attorney Vincent A. Scully, who became assured of the nomination for mayor through his victory in the primary last Friday night. The only present hclders of important office retained on the ticket were Registrar of vot- CTS John T. Derwin and Town Clerk Mary c. Kilmartin.
 Virtually all other holders of office were dropped, among them all Democratic members of the board of aldermen and board of education. The ticket bears out MT. Scully's pledge that new faces" would be offered the public by the party.
 All the nominations were voted unanimously, though split was promised for a time in the school convention when the names of two other candidates in addition to the five proposed by MT. Scully were offered. The names, those of Martin J. Tehan and Patrick s. Bergin, who are now. school commissioners, were withdrawn after a lengthy caucus.

Conlon, who was associated with Conlon Brothers store for many years, he attended Rensselaer, Poly technic institute and the Harvard University school of business admin istration.

CORP. COUNSEL
 | ScULLY RESIGNS
Quits City Position So He Can Devote His Time
 to Campaign

Vincent A. Scully, who last night received the Democratic nomination for mayor, this afternoon submitted his resignation as corporation coun- sel to Mayor Patrick M. Perriello, declaring that he planned to devote great deal of time to the political campaign and therefore felt he could not do justice to his city po- sition.
 Plans for vigorous campaign for the election of the entire Demo- cratic ticket were announced by MT. Scully. The slate, adopted. by city, town and school conventions last night, had his full recommendation.
 Foster Stin Holds Job
 MT. Scully's step makes even more ntenable the position of Charles c. Foster, secretary to Mayor Patrick M. Perriello. Though he won the Re- publican nomination from the mayor after the latter had hired him as secretary, MT. Foster has made no effort to resign and is still in the city's employ. Friends of Mayor Perriello have been urging that MT. Foster be dismissed as sec retary.
 The retiring corporation counsel informed the mayor of his resigna- ton in a letter Ill which he said he felt the best interests of the city would be served if he resigned, since he has been nominated for impor- tant political office and will be busy with the election campaign. MT Scully stated he did not feel he could do justice to both the office of corporation counsel and the

 Small Crowd at Session of Independents But They Had Stormy Time AWAITED REGULARS
 TO SELECT TICKET Fireworks Started With Speed When Convention Did Get Underway

There was a declaration of independence at the Inde- pendent Democratic conven- tion last night at the Y. M. c. A. chat lasted from eight o'clock until almost midnight. It finally wound up with the Independents becoming regular" and nam- ing the same ticket as that nominated by the regular democratic convention.
 There was a small crowd present at 8 p. m. when the convention was supposed to convene and as the long hours passed while the dele gates were "caucusing" the crowd dwirdled. s4i, z
 There W asno question in the mind of anyone who ever attended a con- vention before, that the delay in opening the convention was due to a desire on the part of all concerned to wait until the regular Democratic convention was over and find out what the "setup" was.
 Fire Works Started
 When the convention finally did convene about three-quarters of an hour after the regular convention adjourned, here was a general pyro- technical display of verbal sky rockets, roman candles, etc., filling the air.
 As Atty. John F. Tobin, who has been to a few conventions before, and knows what it's all about" read the slate of candidates nominated by the regular Democrats and moved its adoption amidst bar rage of parliamentary thrusts there were boos, laughter, cries of "dic- tation" to say nothing of some pro- found cussing.
 One of the spectacular revelations of the caucus was not "too" defin- ite statement by Eugene Sheehan on the convention floor that the forces of Mayor Patrick M. Perriello had been flirting around" and had presented a proposition.

 Was Shot Twice
 The pretty wilby freshman was shot twice -- once in the small of the back. and once under the chin. Either shot, according to Medical Examiner Harry B. Hanchett of Tor rington, was sufficient to cause death. An autopsy performed by him at the Charlotte Hungerford Hospital last night established that the girl died at least two hours be- fore Swiston killed himself by in-. haling carbor-monoxide gas. Checked All Roads N Having spent two days securing tht woods near Swiston,s home, state police yesterday afternoon began a check of every road branching off the Harwinton Thomaston road, via Two Mile bridge. Lieutenant Frederick Brandt, commander of the Canaan barracks, and Sergeant Charles Hill, drove their patrol car along 6 narrow road and found the body after negotiating a difficult half mile. They fired two shots in the air, the agreed signal which brought their companions to the scene and ended the search. The body was trapped in blanket. placed in the rear of the car, and brought to the hospital, where Med- ical Examiner Hanchett proceeded with his autopsy.
 Reconstruct Crime
 As police and observers today re- constructed the murder-suicide, it was believed that Swiston and his companion, after stopping for gaso- line at 8 Terryville gasoline station. drove to the secluded road and stopped to talk. Swiston, it was be- lieved, got Dorothy out of the auto- mobile by some pretext, and as she stood in the road, reached for his shot gun and shot her twice. Blood on the road establishes that the youth then dragged his victim to the (Continued on Page 9

 Paris. Oct. s24- CUP) = Germany may engage in gigantic artillery and airplane bombardment of the French Haginot line to tesa theory of It's artillery experts that big guns can pound a breach in the French forts for the air force to enlarge, 1t was reported today.
 Adolf Hitler, in conference with Nazi provincial leaders, was reported to have sought to learn whether German public opinion would sup port a offensive, one which might be costly in lives, or whether it would be better merely to hold of the allies in the west, blockade Great Britain by sea and air, and try to strengthen Germany's position in Central Europe and the Balkans.
 An artillery bombardment on the western front, with complementary airplane bombing attacks, would be necessarily interfere with the alter native program to big scale attack.
 Hitler's Moral Campaign
 It was suggested that Hitler also planned a campaign of moral pres sure" on neutrals to cease or dras- tically reduce their commerce with the Allies.
 French people questioned whether such a campaign could succeed. Ger many was dominated Balkan trade, but by barter, and according to re- ports here its deliveries of German goods have diminished to . trickle, if they have not stopped, since the war started.

Ship Captured By Germany Was on Legal, Lawful
 Voyage at Time

Washington, October A-CUP)- The White House declared today that the American freighter City of Flint was on a legal and lawful voyage when t was intercepted by a German warship.
 White House Secretary Stephen T. Early followed up that statement within and assertion that the in- cident could not have occurred if the administration neutrality bill now being considered by Congress were in effect.
 The neutrality bill in present form would bear the transport ot any cargoes by U. s. vessels to bel- ligerent nations. The City of Flint was en route to British ports with a cargo of various materials which have been placed on the German contraband list.
 Early said that the state depart ment has cabled American diplo- matic representatives abroad to be- Kfsns,tff,uIad m pnQA -Ah.
