UNITED STATES HAS INFLUENCE
Uncle Sam Has Most "In- fluential Voice" in World
 Says Forum Lecturer

If the United States told foreign CTS to get out of Spain, soldiers and interests from other countries would get out"
 Such was the contention of Capt. Gordon Heriot, soldier and radio commentator, speaking last night at the second of a series of forums sponsored by the Waterbury Com munity Forum at the Women's club. He was introduced by Herbert S. Smith, general secretary.
 The speaker said that the United States government has more influ- ence on international matters than any other country and pointed out that 1t wasn't until the United States took action that Great Britain, France and the League of Nations acted on the Japanese aggression. He added that manufacturing in- terests and the preservation of profits acted as 8 deterrent to na- tional interference in the Spanish affair.
 He foresees a 'fbloodless revolu- ton" in Great Britain with the aris- tocracy falling in line with politi- cal tenets of liberal and labor groups.
 Showing one of 35,000 printed cards he said he received after a radio criticism of Mussolini, Capt. Heriot remarked that 'Fascism is here"
 Tt was just before election time and was fired" he added.

Clark Gable To Drop Wife And Marry Carole Lombard

Hollywood, Jan. 19 - (UP) - Friends said today that Mrs. Rhea Gable, estranged wife of Clark Gable, would establish residence in Nevada next week to sue for divorce. She was expected to reside at Reno, the divorce capital, or at Las Vegas. Under the Nevada divorce law, Mrs. Gable could have her final decree six weeks after taking up residence. Mrs. Gable was not available for comment, and neither was her hus- band, whose name has been roman tically connected with that of Carole Lombard. A month ago Gable said he intended to ask for divorce. A property settlement had delayed matters but this was settled shortly before the year end. It was taken for granted in the film colony that Mrs. Gable would sue on routine grounds such as incompatibility. Whatever her complaint, 1t will be privately heard by judge, the us- ual Nevada procedure.
 Gable and Miss Lombard have never discussed the possibility Of marriage but friends assumed they would marry immediately after the actor is free. Mrs. Gable is Il years older than Gable. She was 4l. and he was 30, when they married ct Santa Ana, Cal, in 1881. She was well-to-do Texas widow. Their es- arrangement appeared to have been due to no outstanding incidents, but

to a mere difference in interests and temperament. The break was an nounced November, 1885, when Gable left for a foreign cruise, tel ephoning from New York en route, the statement: Mrs. Gable and I have separated and a property set- clement has been reached. Any statement on divorce must come from Mrs. Gable"
 Since then, while they remained married but living apart, it was re- ported that Mrs. Gable was willing to give her husband a divorce, but insisted that he should request it. Under the property settlement, Gable paid her $286,000. Gables friendship with Miss Lombard. de- veloped5 some months after his sep aration from Mrs. Gable, friends said. It was reported to have began at a, film. colony night club party during the winter of 1885. Gable has squired the blonde former Mack Sennett bathing beauty constantly, and she accompanies him on his hunting and fishing parties. ;4
 Gable has been married twice. His first wife was Mrs. Josephine Dillon Gable, a voice teacher who took him off job as . telephone trouble shooter and made an actor of him She too remains on good terms with Gable. Miss Lombard Is %, anc previously was married ito. actor William Powell. ~, &ss

TWISTED PAPER.
 TALKS ABOUT LION

Winsted, Conn.,, Jan. 19-(UP)- The Winsted Citizen, which has authored more nature-faking yarns htan a Frank Buck nightmare, sug- gested today that the lion which has stalked the woods of Glaston- bury for weeks might be a wolverine, and offered few hints on how to capture it.
 ''Dogs aren't necessary" volun- teered the Citizen authority. "In fact, they're practically useless, as the wolverine leaves no scent.
 "The wolverine is a lonely animal, though, and often cries for its mann ma. You Glastonbury hunters are advised to wait for an extremely cold night and then go out and wait until you hear the wolverine crying for its mamma. The wolver- ines tear-drops freeze very quickly and you can track the animal by following these. And this shouldn't be very difficult, for it is a we'll known fact that the wolverines tears are blue in color. Thus, all you have to do is follow this line of blue tear-drops and the hunt will be ended"

SKELETON OF SEA
 MONSTER ASHORE
Mass. People Believe It to Be Sea Serpent Reported
 Back in 1886

Provincetown, Mass, Jan. 19- (UP)-Everyone knows there is no such thing as sea serpent. But
 A skeleton 30 feet long, with Il sections, furnished complete with vertebrae, leg joints and toothless skull, has been washed ashore near the Wood End coast guard station. The tail, coast guards reported, is missing, but midway in the trunk, bones of which might have been frog-like feet portrude. In the cen- ter of the skull is a round hole.
 Old-timers believed the skeleton that of the famed Provincetown "sea serpent" of 1886. Bos'n Addison Ormsby, commander of the Wood End coast guard station, would not subscribe to this theoyr, but said:
 Nothing Like 1t Ever Seen
 we have never seen anything like 1t before. don't think it could have ben a whale or a blackfish. The head must have been something like a crocodile's."
 SoP Al SCSU6 6C oAShCAS, ACbAA Cu COlA- mander of the coast guard station, thought it might have been an over- grown conger eel, but no conger longer than 10 feet ever has been reported here.
 w. c. Shredder, curator of Har- yards Museum of Comparative zo- ology, though he had not seen it, believed it was the skeleton of . blackfish.
 The "sea serpent" of 1886 was re- ported by George Washington Ready, then town crier.
 Describes Serpent
 T was walking along the beach at Herring Cove when saw mon- ster 300 feet long, colored like a rainbow, and with sharp, bony scales like the teeth of a moving machine" Ready said at the time.
 "It scorched path over the dunes cutting down with its huge tail trees a foot in diameter, and then disap- peared in pasture pond. As it slid in, the water gradually receded until the pond was drained completely. Only great hole remained in the center of the pond bed.
 "I ran to town to get a 250- fathom sounding line, but couldn't reach the bottom of the hole. That was the last seen of the serpent"

Fe1uer Officers For
 Police Department
Senator Culhane Presents Bill Advocating Changes-Miss Malone Requests Retirement
 Privileges - Mascolo Renamed

creation of IS new traffic courts in the state, three of them in New Ha- ven county and one of these pre- sumably in Waterbury. Their loca- tion would be decided by the gov- ernor. The salary of a judge would be $5,000 and each court would be allowed one prosecutor, one clerk, one assistant clerk, one stenographer and one policeman.
 The Waterbury city charter would be amended to allow the in- terest rate on unpaid taxes to be re- duced from g to per cent.
 Still another bill provides regu- lation of motor trucks in the state and reduces powers now held by the state public utilities commission.
 Two Culhane bills in skeleton form concern reorganization and consolida tion of state departments; j; regulation of auto finance compa- nanies by the state bank commis- sioner.
 Pension Provided For
 Senator Edward P. Egan of Wa terbury today introduced bill which would allow the retirement on pen- sion, on her own application, of Miss Katherine Malone of the city clerks staff. The bill asks that the age limit, set up in the city charter, not apply in this case. Miss Malone has been an employe of the city for the past 30 years.
 Two bills by Senator Egan con- cern automobile registration fees and refunds for several classes of opera tors.
 Mascol0 Renamed
 In joint resolution in both the Senate and House today Judge Ed ward Mascolo of the Waterbury City court is renominated for an- other term. In the Senate Senator Egan presented the resolution by re- quest. In the House Rep. Daniel J. Mahaney presented the resolution.
 More Amendments
 Rep. Mahaney also presented bill in skeleton form which called for amendment of those sections of the city charter concerning the sur plus resource sinking fund. Nine sections of the charter would be af- fected.
 The Waterbury legislator also seeks to prevent the interviewing of persons, injured in accidents, by in- surance adjustors within 10 days after the accident. This bill further provides that any statement, oral or written, secured before the 10- day limit has expired, shall be H. legal and he held valueless in court.
 At Capitol Today
 Police Lieutenant William Pollard of Waterbury was at the Capitol to- day attending meeting of the legis- lative committee of the Connecticut State Police Association. He has been member of this group for a number of years and has regularly before legislative groups in support of measures in which the has been interested

State Capitol, Hartford, January ls--Future changes and promotions in he Waterbury Police Department would be based on seniority and qualifications under provisions of a bill introduced in the Senate today by Senator George T. Culhane.
 The bill also makes it necessary for the Superintendent of Police to have been a department member for at least 8 years. Further the bill states that the departments officers shall consist of 1 superintendent, l deputy, 3 captains, chief inspector, and as many lieutenants and ser- geants as the Board of Alderman deems necessary.
 No more than 50 Supernumeraries shall be allowed in the department which is just half the number the charter now provides for.
 The bill, if passed, would become effective January 2, 1940, and does not affect any previous appoint ments in the department
 Merger of the State Highway and Public Works Departments is also proposed by Senator Culhane. The new bureau would be known as the Department of State Public Service and would be headed by a commits sioner to be named by the governor.
 The Waterbury senator also seeks
