ADDRESS Theme
Mrs. Roth Predicts Re-
newal of Fight for Delin-
quency Court Bill

Juvenile delinquency in many
phases was described in an interest.
ing talk given yesterday by Mrs
Frances L. Roth of New Haven al
the monthly luncheon meeting Of
the Waterbury Junior League held
at the Waterbury Country Club.
Mrs. Roth had been working In
tensely for the cause of the Juvenile
Court Bill which was not passed last
session but which appears again on
the 1941 slate. The card index of
each case which Mrs. Roth claims
is so vitality important will be COM
pleted by December of 1910 and this
system would enable judges to know
each case at glance as entire his
tories Of the case would be printed
on one page.
The speaker stated that England
and Wales are far ahead of this
country in their progress to check
child delinquency with both COM
bined having only at total of IS
cases last year while in this coun-
try that amount of delinquents are
sentenced daily.
The lack of cooperation between
cities in handling criminal records
has been a main factor in allowing
q juvenile to remain a first offender
for long period and in may cases
suitable punishment is overlooked.
Assistance in securing work for
young people and keeping them
from being idle was one of the
points brought out by Mrs. Roth as
an aid to the cause. She stated that
more social agencies cooperating
with the official organs of the gov
eminent would also be held in solv-
ing the problem.

There were immediate repercus-
sions to the Scully announcement.
At least two members of the town
committee declared they would OPP
pose any settlement which provided
Tor the nomination of Mr.. Scully
casing thei4. objection on the fact
that he W leader In the original
move for party reorganization and
the resignation Of numerous mem
oers of the town committee.
But other members of the town
committee were leaning toward the
Scully candidacy, and there was nc
doubt that he would be given favor
BILE consideration If q settlement
of the reorganization issue Is reach
ed.
Conferences of key men in both
the town committee and reorganiza-
ton forces were scheduled this at
ternoon. There have been several
such conferences sine the town
committee Friday night rejected a
reorganization plan proposed at that
time. Leaders of both sides seemed
confident that an amicable agree
ment would be reached.
About 400 persons gathered at
the Culhane-for-Mayor headquar-
tiers on Center street for a meeting
last night, at which plans for a
primary contest were made. Anoth-
er meeting of the Culhane supper
tiers vii be held tomorrow night at
The Elton.
The original reorganization group
Of year ago accepted Senator Gull
hane's resignation as a chairman and
named George McDuff in his stead.
Also elected were william Ferrari,
secretary, and James G. Bulger,
treasurer. The Culhane hackers have
set up organizations in each of the
80 voting districts and are confident
Of victory in a primary.
If the town committee fails to
adopt any reorganization program
tonight, there will be a primary
fight with three or more factions
taking part. The town committee
would then enter a candidate, as
would the Smith group, both oppos-
ing Senator Culhane. The Young
Democratic Club is still marking
time, awaiting the outcome of the
dispute, and may enter the primary
unless receiving sufficient recogni-
ton.

Italy 10 Be With Reich
When War Comes,
Gayda Warns
Fascist Grand Council
Reoffirms Support of
Rome-BerIin Axis
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ROME, March 22-The Fascist
Grand Councils renewed assurance
OF adherence to the Rome Berlin
axis was said by the authoritative
editor, Virginia Gayda, today to
mean that Italy would be with Ger
many in war as we'll as in diplomacy.
The Grand Council this morning
issued strong statement by which
Italy, in effect. warned the demo-
cratic powers that joint action to
check the Rome Berlin alliance
might incur the risk of war.
Italy's position is fixed in Europe's
new political conflict" Gayda said.
This solidarity of Rome and Berlin
was understood to be effective not
only for diplomatic developments,
but also for eventual military de-
velopments of conflict" he con-
ttnued.
While Europe awaited Premier
MusSollnl'S expected demands on
France, Gayda again charged that
London, Paris and Washington were
attempting to form a democratic
holy alliance" to launch a pre-
ventive war" against Germany and
Italy as soon as their forces ap-
peared superior to those of the die
tatorships.
Soviet Objections Predicted.
Gayda predicted. however, that
Soviet Russia would raise obstacles to
being incorporated in an alliance py
demanding guarantees against Ell
rope and Japan"
The editor disclosed that Musso-
lini did most of the speaking in the
Grand Council meeting, talking foe
more than an hour and a half On
various sensitive points" in the
European situation. The councils
statement was issued after lengthy
discussion of the consequences of
Adolf Hitler's push eastward.
Fascists interpreted the declara-
ton as meaning the axis was pre-
pared to fight if necessary, to realize
cessions from France.
IL is the general cOnVlctlOn among
Fascists here that the furtherance of
these claims is the next task to be
taken up by the Rome-Berlin COL
laborators.
Axis Support Reaffirmed.

D. C.. Schools Heat and Liqht
Fund Reduced to $4,000
Appropriation Is No Guarantee Glasses
Won't Be Stopped Dr.. BoIIou Says

The plea of District public school
officials for an appropriation of S13,-
900 in the second deficiency bill to
cover fuel, light and power was re-
duced to $4,000 in the bill as re-
ported to the House today.
The original request for s25
made by the schools was cut by the
Bureau of the Budget to $4,000
Unless this latter amount was ap-
propriated. the school officers
warned, the schools might have to
close
Supt. Frank w. Ballou said today
the whole question depends on
weather conditions. Under very IA
vorable conditions of warm days re-
quiring little use of coal and light
days demanding little electricity. he
said, it may be possible to live within
the original appropriation without
any deficiency.
On the other hand. DR.. Ballou re-
