received Joseph P. Kennedy an Ivan Maisky, the United States and Soviet ambassadors, just before lunch and read them the text of Chamber lain's impending statement.
 It was understood Lord Halifax made 1t clear to Maisky that the mentioned consultations woulds Of course, include Russia.
 It was learned that when labor party leaders saw Chamberlain late last night they insisted that the Soviet government be kept informed of the progress of negotiations as fully as possible.
 DOminlOns Informed
 The momentous session was brief and the members refrained from asking a flood of questions. Cham berlain assured Richard Denman, national labor, that the dominions had been kept fully informed of the cabinets decisions.
 He assured another labor ques- tioner that there are no theological impediments" between Russia and Britain. The house laughed when William Gallacher, communist, sug- gested Chamberlain resign and per- init someone who steadfastly be- lieved in collective security organize a government to preserve peace.
 The house was tense but calm. The members cheered Chamberlain when he entered and cheered en- Enthusiastically after the statement.

 German Press Breaks Out
 Berlin, March 31-(UP)-The Nazi press-as if at pre-arranged signal-united today in a bitter att tack on Great Britain.
 Immediately after announcement of British and French military pledges to Poland, the state-con- trolled Nazi newspapers marked a sharp increase in tension between the two nations by campaign which apparently had been arranged by the propaganda ministry.
 English lying agitation regard ing Poland" screamed the headline in the Lokalanzeiger, denouncing as "lies" the London rumors of German troop movements toward the Polish Corridor.
 Fake English report from the Polish frontier" said another typi- cal headline, charging Britain with falsely building up crisis on the basis of rumor in order to further her program of encirclement of the Reich.
 Italy Is Advised
 Rome, March 31.-(UP)-Great Britain today advised the Italian government of her new commit ments in eastern Europe, which Fas- cist circles viewed as an attempt to pull Poland away from the Rome Berlin partnership.
 Sir Noel Charles, the British charge d'affaires, delivered a copy of Prime Minister Neville Chamber lain's statement to Foreign Minister Count 0aleazzo Ciano. It was un- derstood he explained that Cham berlain desired the statement com municated to Premier Benito Mus- solini at once.
 Fascists said that Poland has not yet changed her neutrality policy and that there is no reason to sup- pose that the Warsaw government would compromise herself" for such aid as the British offered.

ONE TRUCK RUNS OUT OF WATERBURY
Continued from Page l,

(Continued from Page D ever decision is negotiated at Provi- dence, R. l., to settle the tri-state truck strike which involves nearly 2,000 drivers in this state.
 Only few owners have signed contracts with the union, according to Myles w. Illingworth, secretary of the Motor Truck Association s0f Connecticut, the majority preferring to suspend all transportation sched- ules until the walkout is settled.
 Illingworth refuted union charges that trucks were taken of highways in a lockout move. He said the move was made necessary by lack of shipments.
 AS the strike apparently neared set- clement, police at New Haven re- arersted John Ricciardelli, a striker, on charges of intimidation and breach of peace in connection with an attack on two drivers. He was first arrested for assaulting driver and a passerby who stopped to help pick up merchandise which had fal- len from a truck. Within a few hours another truck was stopped and the operator and helper pummeled. Another Compromise Providence, R. l., March 3l - (U.
