Visiting Nurses Appeal
 Needs More Generous Help
Contributions Presently Exceed $6,OOO Mark;
 Poor Bearing Brunt

Crisis impends in the campaign of the Visiting Nurse association during the present week. Unless major portion of the essential fund of sl6,000 is raised, then the As- sociation must curtail its service to the public health of Waterbury.
 Today the total amount subscribed amounts to $6,247.50, much less than half of the sum which represents the minimum money required to keep the Visiting Nurse Associations program on its present level of ser- vice to the entire community.
 Appeal has been made during the last week to the thousands of famil- ies which have best knowledge of the work done by the Association. Their response has been splendid, those in charge of the drive remarked to- day.
 Hesitentcy Surprises
 Hundreds of contributions within the means of many of these families have been received. But those per- sons who know best the intrinsic value of healthy community and who stand to gain most by the ser vice of the Visiting Nurse association to the public health, in good part have yet to be heard from in manner proportionate to their ability to give. If the campaign is to succeed, and succeed 1t must, Waterbury's prom inent medical men and civic lead- CTS are agreed, then something more than 1000 daily must be contrib uted during this week. The alterna- tive is curtailment of service to the public health which cannot be approximated by any other existing agency.
 It makes no difference whether you have received one of the "coin cards" by which donations may be made either at the Visiting Nurse Home, 37 Central avenue, or at The Waterbury Democrat, authorized to receive all contributions. Contribu- tions by check, money order, or cash, will be acknowledged on re- ceipt at either of the fund head quarters, the Visiting Nurse Home, | or The Democrat.
 Endorsements
 Appeal for support of the cam- paign was made today by Rev. pr. John Curry Walker, pastor of Sec ond Congregational church; by Frank J. Green, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce; by Dr. Ed ward H. Kirschbaum, veteran med ical examiner of Waterbury, who said, in part: T cannot bring myself to realize that this association would be allowed to close or curtail Its services indispensable to the welfare of this city .. its loss would be a distinct tragedy -
 The statements of Dr. Walker, MT Green and pr. Kirschbaum follow, in full:
 Dr. Walker stated: T want to
 commend with all possible empha-
 sis the appeal on behalf of the
 Visiting Nurse Association. l
 know that Waterbury needs and
 needs desperately the kind of ser
 vice the nurses render. l know
 that am speaking for hundreds
 and thousands of people when l
 say we shall be distressed and
 alarmed if the Visiting Nurses are
 hampered and restricted through
 failure to find adequate financial
 support. do sincerely hope that
 the people of Waterbury will give
 a most generous response to your
 next appeal"

DANGERS DEATH
 STILL UNSOLvED
Anya SOsoyeva, Student of Dramatics, Is Brutally
 Murdered
BY ALAN MACELWAIN Limited Press Staff Correspondent

tUnlbcu FEeSS Sbbkk COrEespUnucnbD
 Los Angeles, Feb. 27-(UP)-- Strange incidents in the life oi Exotic Anya Sosoyeva, dramatics student, dancer and movie extra were explored today by detectives frankly mystified by her brutaI murder on city college campus Fri day night.
 Of the scores of theories suggest ed they were concentrating on but three--that she was the victim of e jealous suitor, degenerate or 6 Negro who had been frequentine the campus after dark frightening other girl students with his ad- vances
 Attacker Was Alone
 They had Miss Sosoyeva's last CO., herent words as evidence that her attacker was alone. Kenneth Kre- mith, City college student who help- ed carry her into an office of the administration building after she had staggered bleeding and crying to It's entrance, quoted her as hav- ing said:
 T was walking on the campus when a man came up behind me and asked where the administration building was. AS I turned around he struck me on the head"
 From Beulah Stanley, her dram- atics coach and roommate, police obtained Miss Sosoyevas correspon- dence and other papers. They also obtained the names of several o1 her male friends and had ques. tioned one, Kermit Anderson, 34, ar accountant, who lived in the apart rnent building where she resided His alibi, that he was playing poker at the time of the attack, was &C., cepted by police and he was re- leased.
 Hectic Courtship
 Anderson told of a hectic court. ship with the dancer, who came here from San Francisco a year ago ambitious to become movie actress and of mysterious income she re. ceived from a man known only as Red"
 He said he met her in August 1886, was struck by her beauty ano began paying court. The following June, he said, they quarreled ant were separated, but effected a re. conciliation year ago. They guar. reled and separated for the last time four months ago, he said.
 Anderson gave a probable reason for the turbulence of their romance He told police that he had knowr Mss Sosoyeva but short time when he learned that she was re. ceiving a $40 weekly allowance from San Francisco and signed with ar enigmatic Red" Their amounts dwindled, he said, and finally were for pittance.
 "Red" Made Appearance
 En San Francisco, Stuart Johnson appeared voluntarily at the hall 0! justice today and said he presumed he was the Red" mentioned in ths case. He said he met the dancer { year ago and had talked to her by telephone from time to time since.
 He said he had attempted to To- cate her by telephone the night o the crime, but he denied any knowl. edge of her murder.
 After conferring with Los Angele. police, San Francisco authorities re. leased Johnson.
 Miss Stanley, who teaches ( drsmatics class at City college, alst knew of the income. She said il finally had stopped altogether. Sht could not furnish any clue to thu identy of the dancers mysteriou! benefactor, but police believed ht was suitor or, possibly, the hus. band of the dead woman,

Calling Pot Black
Who Are Aeersssors7
Look at O+her Days


Well. another "agsressor' has
taken Barcelona.
At least one finds the word
"aggressor" again coloring the
cables as FRANCOIS troops march
into the Spanish government
seat.
1t is odd how various words are
used with the grandest freedom
from day to day. when all too
often popular epithets apply also
to those who use them most in
denouncing others.
Take this word "aggressor." We
apply it glibly nowadays TO the
various nations in the world who
happen to be ION the march" ut
the moment. Its general use il in
derogatory sense.
Who are the "aggressor" ma
tons? Instantly, the popular An
swer will snap back: Germany,
Japan and Italy.
Pick up the average history
book you find in the average high
school in the United States. get
out a pencil and paper and figure
UP the number Of times the six
major nations Of the world have
been engaged in warfare since the
Declaration of Independence in
177s.
This u what you will find:
Great Britain, IS years Of war;
France, Al years; the United
States. ~ years; Germany. is
years; Italy, IA years, and Japan,
IL years.
In the last 1Oz years, the three
nations which use the word "ag-
yressor" the Ioudest, are the three
nations which have been involved
in the most warfare. In fact the
total number Of years Of war for
the three democratic" nations
are nearly THREE TINES A.
much as the total Of war years
for the so-called "aggressor' ma
tons.
Consider now the number Of
