Hence, the court refused to dis

the grounds for divorce under the

UNDATED, April 10 (P)-Pre- mier Chamberlain reported and told Italy that the attempt to seize the strategic Greek Island of Corfu was regarded as Brit aims invitation to war.

51 Years Ago Big Blizzard Buried
 City; Fond Memories Of It Still Exist
Experience to Be Recalled Tomorrow for Benefit of
 New Generations

There's nothing left but mem'ries Of that storied, fateful date When the blizzard came a-calling- March eleventh, eighty-eight. The world has gone from bad to
 worse,
 With all its modern ways;
 It doesn't even snow the way 1t
 used to
 In the good old, good old days.
 (L0g of the Blizzard of '8S Club)
 Another anniversary of the Great Blizzard of '88 comes tomorrow, and once again there will be recol- lections and "reminiscences of the storm that virtually isolated the city, cutting off communication with the outside world and for a time threatening serious food shortage. Snow will be on the ground for the 51st anniversary, but old timers scoff at such storms as Waterbury had yesterday and say they're not even worth men, tioning. "Now, in '8s," they say
 It was Sunday, March Il, 1888, and the 32,000 residents of Water bury were enjoying quiet Sabbath holiday. The snow began in the morning, occasional flurries spat- tering the apparel of churchgoers.
 But it was March and the city was not worried, as 1t sat down to a big noon-day dinner. Even the us- ual Sunday afternoon social calls were made, and visitors sat stiffly on the edges of hard chairs under heath gilt mirrors, ate their cakes and drank their tea Cor perhaps a hot punch at the home of a more daring host) and chatted about what Mayor Henry J. Boughton was doing.
 In the evening the snow changed to rain and sleet, and it appeared that the storm might be nearing its end. Instead the snow began fall- ing more heavily than ever, and by daylight Monday morning the city was blanketed.
 The snow fell all day Monday. and then all day Tuesday, finally halting on Wednesday morning. Snow had climbed as high as second story windows in many places. Drifts were so high that horses were un- able to plough through them.
 Storekeepers and milkmen could not make any deliveries, and fortu- nate were the families that had their own meat and vegetables stored away in cellars. For days the city knew nothing of what was going on in the outside world, and concentrated instead on it's prob lem of clearing the streets.
 It was days before even the main streets were clear enough for travel The snow remained on the ground well into April, and Waterburians were glad to see the arrival of mild weather.
 Through the years the story oi the blizzard has been told again and again and tomorrow, the anniversary of its start - will find it recited once more, perhaps with a few additional embellishments.

Deficit of 8OOFaces Visiting Nurse Assn Current Drive
$1O,OOO SUIT IS RESUMED TODAY City of Waterbury and
 Stepney Man Are
 Defendants

Trial of the $10,000 damage suit of Robert James, administrator of the estate of the late Robert James, Jr, a minor, against the City of Water bury and Bartley Hall of Stepney, Conn, was resumed in superior court this morning before Judge Frank P. McEvoy and a jury. The trial was started late yesterday afternoon.
 The plaintiff complains that on October 4, 1886, Robert James Jr. was walking across East Main street toward the St. Regis Apartment where he lives when car operated by the Stepney man struck the sev- en-year-old lad and carried him a long distance. It is claimed that the wheels of the car ran over the boys body. The boy died in hospital the same day of the mishap.
 It is further alleged that the City of Waterbury was negligent in allow ing the crossmarks at East Main street to remain extinct and that the traffic light at the corner of East Main, Cherry and Mill streets was out of repair at the time of the ac- cident. It was further charged that MT. Halls car passed over the cross walk territory when it struck the boy.

FEDERATION HAS
 OWN PROPOSAL
(Continued from Page 1)

the CIO unions which formerly be- longed to the federation, would be readmitted with the same jurisdic- tion they had when they left, and that each new CIO union would ap- point committees to settle jurisdic- tional quarrels with each affected AFL craft union.
 The 1897 CIO committee inter- preted this proposal to mean that the original CIO unions were to go back into the AFL and leave the new unions outside to settle their many quarrels with the craft unions alone, or fight alone if the disputes were not settled. This interpretation was disputed vigorously by the AFL com- mittee, but the talks failed over this point.
 Brotherhood Plan Ignored
 Neither AFL nor CIO negotiations would comment on the proposal President A. F. Whitney of the Brotherhood of Railroad Tralnmen, that the CIO unions enter the AFL as body and settle quarrels later by government-supervised referendums of the affected workers. The seven peace negotiators- four for the AFL and three for the CIO-transferred their work from Washington to New York, because Lewis and CIO Vice-President Philip Murray had to meet here with 116 district United Mine Workers to draft strategy for renewing basic bituminous and anthracite collective bargaining contracts.
 AFL Vice-President Daniel J. Tobin, leader of the federation peace bloc," conferred privately with MT. Roosevelt in Washington yesterday before coming here. Tobin originally declined his appointment to the peace committee but recon sidered at the personal insistence of the president.
 Other AFL negotiations are Chair man Harry c. Bates, Matthew Woll and Thomas A. Rickert, all vice. presidents and executive council members. CIO Vice-President id ney Hillman serves with Lewis and Murray.

Community Campaign Closes With Possibility
 Of Curtailed Services
Curtaled Through Lack of Sufficient Funds Drive Is Far Short of Anticipated $l6,OOO Total

Facing possible deficit of $500 in the drive for $16,000 the Visiting Nurse association closed its first community campaign for funds to carry on the work of the organiza- tion. The board of directors of the organization will be confronted with the problem of curtailing public health nursing service to the peo- pie of our city. There is no other way of economizing except to re- duce the staff of nurses which means less service to the patients. Whether it will mean serving Q smaller section of the city, or limit ing the activities of the association, no one at this time is able to pre- dict.
 Shall the Visiting Nurse associa-
