The woman's eyes were scorfuul.
I don't know yet where she was

She was ill and needed help. She

Waterbury has not heard the last of the Massucci case, which had its origin when Fibre Massucci of this city was arrested by To- cal police and charged with an attempted $5,000 "shakedown" of former Mayor Frank Hayes. To- day, Massucci is serving an IS month stretch" in the federal penitentiary at Lewisburg, Penn., having been convicted of extortion in the Dnited States District Court at New Haven, by a jury and Judge Carol c. Hincks, formerly of Waterbury.
 Attorney Joseph M. Navin, coun- Sel for Massucci, is not through working on the case as yet, though his client was tried and convicted in New Haven, after some sen- sational testimony which followed the Waterbury conspiracy trial, with which the Massucci matter was also connected in that tn, jury was warned by Judge Er- nest A. Inglis not to read any, thing about the Massucci matter in the press or listen to it dis cussed on the radio. This fol- lowed visit of Attorney Navin to the chambers of the trial judge on July 2, 1889.
 At this time, Attorney Navin in sists there is very novel point of law involved in the case which he intends to take up within the im- mediate future" Just how he intends to take up'' the mat

ton yesterday almost simultaneously with publication of 500-page white paper" containing evidence of alleged Nazi propaganda and pos sible espionage in the United States.
 The report contained letters writ ten by and to German officials in the United States including Dr. Her bert Scholz, Nad consul here who was charged with cooperating with Transocean News Service, pur- ported pro-Nazi news service.
 Dr. Scholz said he appreciated the work of the Dies committee in con- futing rumor with fact by publish ing data. He said the report denl- onstrated the German consulate here was engaged in the same ac- tivities as consulateS of any nation ality in foreign countries.
 Commenting on letters from the local Nazi consulate to Dr. Manfred Zapp, director of the news agency, Dr. Scholz said that the "consul of any country has the duty to assist any of his countrtymen who ceI on him. It is customary for business men in foreign countries to inquire of their own conSulateS about mar- kets and to make contacts in busi- ness relationships"

CContinued from Page 6) he appeared before the garment workers board, he said he had been misinformed as to the details, but regretted the fight as a ''deplorable incident"
 His revised statement was prompt ed by Dubinsky's assertion that he never had met his assailant, Fay, and "had no desire to meet him" " Green had been called before the executive board of Dubinsky's union to explain what Dubinsky called a repudiation of pledges and an att tempt to scuttle another of those the federation made to the garment workers to lure them back into the AFL fold last May.
 Reminded of Promise
 At that time, Green was reminded by the board, he promised, on be- half of the executive council, that power to suspend unions would be transferred from the council to the convention, and that the one cent per month per capita assessment on unions, regarded as an anti-CIO "war chest" would be abolished. Dubinsky complained that the execu- tive council had revised the Suspen- sion pledge so as to retain the power to act on dual unionism, and its members were working to retain the per capita tax.
 Green acknowledged his commit ments and said that not only would the garment workers leaders be all lowed to fight their case on the floor of the convention, but he would per- sonally back up the original agree ment if the final report placed be- fore the convention disagreed with it
 Asked what he would do if his agreement with Green was repudiat- ed by the convention, Dubinsky said: T wouldn't withdraw, if that's what you mean"

 called into the army from civilian occupations.
 It is reasonable to believe that the Greeks may well outnumber the Italians along the fighting front at present. Even if Mussolini has avail able the men and material in read- mess at home to redress the ball. ance, rapidity of movement can scarcely be expected. Britinsh and Greek aviators have damaged the Albanian landing ports and they can be expected to continue these attacks, disrupting the smooth working of the Italian lines of con- munication.
 Mussolini's Predicament
 Mussolini,s predicament could be relieved if Hitler were to aid. him by sendnig fully equipped mech anized striking force through Jug oslavia into the Greek plains which rurn from the Jugoslav border to Salonika, But all evidence to the present suggests the Germans are not yet in rescuing mood.
 The Fuehrer wants continental Europe for himself. The less impress sive Italian military power becomes in the Balkans, the more can Hitler visualize his own supremacy. The Fuehrer, apparently, would be con- tent to see Italy confine her future to Africa, if possible.
 What effect the Greek successes will have on Bulgaria is question able, for the time being. By re- maining on the defensive in Alban- ia, the Greeks could detach an im- portant number of divisions, flush ed with victory, to add to their strength against the Bulgarian frontier. The Bulgars must have an increased respect for Greek military capacity, which may produce an at titude of caution.
 In addition, the reaction in Fur key to Bulgarian offensive against Greece is not positively known; nor is the feeling Nof Russia. The Greeks must have taken into consideration possible Bulgarian belligerency when they decided to resist the Italian invasion. Greek generalship has shown surprising capacity in the Albanian area. It may well add to its reputation if the Bulgars strike, especially since British aid has had time to prepare to function.

ing the entirely legitimate connec- tions which have existed between American press services and German news organizations
 Moore, speaking for TransradiC Press Service, in his statement drew attention to the fact that the Dies report issued today was .sprinkled with mention of the names of American press services, although the Dies committee does not, even by inference, accuse any United States news. organization of m- American activity. On the contrary it is well known that Transradic and other American news services have Scrupulously guarded against all kinds of tQtalitarian propaganda although they have by necessity maintained working press agree ments with German and other foreign news agencies
 Haste, Lack of Funds
 Continuing, Moore, in his state- ment, said:
 Whether for reasons of haste, or lack of funds, the Dies committee did not make full investigation of these foreign news relationships nor did it respond to offers of full cooperation in its important and valuable campaign against alien propaganda activities. Instead, it published incomplete facts or frag- ments, among which can be found the unsupported statement that one of the leading staff writers of an American Press association (not Transradio Press Service) had been won lover to the German side". The news writer involved was not called to refue, an obvious falsehood.'
 More Fragrant Error
 "'A similar, but even more fla grant error can be found in that portion of the Dies report referring to the arrangements between Trans radio Press Service and Transocean of Berlin. A MT. Arthur Quisen- berry, identified as an employe of TranSocean, is referred to in the Dies report as a member of the board of directors of TranSTadio Press Service. This is an equally obvious falsehood. The MT. w. C. Quisenberry, who is a member of the board of directors of Transradio Press Service, is not related in any way with MT. Arthur Quisenberry.
 Moore said that no special signi- ficance could be attached to the ar- engagements which have existed be- tween his organization and Trans ocean. He said these arrangements were similar to agreements existing between TranSradio and British and French news agencies. These ar engagements were known to compe- tent federal authorities and conform to the standards laid down by eth- icS and law"

 Lewis then called Murray to the front of the platform, presented to him an ivory gavel given to Lewis in 1886 by the Miners Union, and declared him elected president of the CIO.
 After "Tsms" Were Denounced
 Murray agreed to accept the pres idency after the CIO convention had adopted a resolution denouncing Nazi, Communist and Fascist dicta- torships, asserting that they "have no place in this great modern labor movement" He was said to have been assured that he would have a free hand in policy and personnel matters.
 Murray fought for the anti-ism resolution, primarily aimed at Con- muniSt influences in the CIO, and is said to feel that it will free the movement of eXtraneous issues aris- ing from theological" considera- tions, and make possible an inten- Sive drive to organize millions of unorgan1zed workers.
 Supported Roosevelt
 Although he supported President Roosevelt for a third term and, as a delegate to the Democratic con- vention seconded the nomination of Vice Elect Henry A. Wal lace, Murray is known to believe that political activity by CIO lead CTS should decrease, in order to prevent partisan disputes causing union splits
 Although long time foe of Com munists, it was thought unlikely that Murray would institute any purge" immediately. It was be- 1ieved that he would concentrate for the time being on establishing definite trade union objectiveS in the CIO and punish any deviation from them by present CIO staff members, some of whom have been accused of subservience to Con- munist party policies.
 Murray, 54, Roman Catholic, former coal miner, a vice-preSident of the Mine Workers and head of the Steel Workers organizing com- mittee, will retain his present con- nections in taking over the presi- dency. There was said to be no plan to move the headquarters from Washington, though he will con- tinue to live in Pittsburgh.
 It was believed that the present Secretary Treasurer James B. Carey would be reelected, along with four vice-presidents. all heads of their own unions-R J. Thomas of the United Automobile Workers Union, Reid Robinson of the International Union of Mine, Mill and Shelter Workers. Emil Rieve of the United Textile Workers Union, and Sher- man H. Dalrymple of the United Rubber Workers.

ter was not quite clear, as he did not care to elaborate on his state ment at this time, but he did say, T have always been convinced of Fibre Massucci's innocence, and though he has been tried and con- victed, am not through with the legal aspects of the case. There is a very novel point of law Involved in the case, which would have got ten an acquittal for my client had it been allowed when the mat ter was tried in New Haven. At that time, I asked to subpoena the court stenographer from Wa terbury and a transcription of the warning by the trial judge to the conspiracy trial jury relative to the Massucci case, but was not al- lowed to do so."

SENATE, HOUSE
 FORCED TO MOVE

Washington, Nov. 9 = (UP) = The senate and house agreed today to transfer their session for the re- mainder of the year to the old su- preme court chamber of the capitol and the new house office building caucus room, respectively, to permit repairs to the roofs over the two regular chambers.
 The two actions were taken simul- taneously after Democratic leaders in both chambers had warned their colleagues that the roofs were in danger of collapsing. Temporary re- pairs will be made during absence of the legislators.
 Both moves will be made Monday.
 The historic chamber where the senate will hold its sessions is To- cated on the second floor of the capitol. It was once the regular sen- ate chamber but was assigned to the supreme court when the senate moved to its present quarters.

BY HOWARD w. BLAKESLEE,

Associated Press Science Editor.
NEW YORK.-Among the few
sure facts about infantile paralysis
are these:
I. The disease will strike America
In epidemic outbreaks this year-it
always does.
2. No one can predict where.
s. There is no sure preventive.
The thing that causes infantile
paralysis is one of the two smallest
known enemies of man.
1t is a particle, called virus,
about one two-hundred-f -flfty-thou-
sandth of an inch in diameter.
The infantile particle last year
made 1928 American children i'll.
This number is small, but not in
aftermath, for at least Is per cent
of these youngsters were paralyzed,
with after-care cost of about 81 1000
a year each.
No Way to Reach Virus.
The aftermath used to be reckoned
at so per cent. Years of medical
effort at good care have cut that
to Is per cent in favorable situations
One other basic fact about the
disease has been brought out by the
years of medical effort:
The virus hides in the body where
there is no way of reaching it effec-
lively. 1t travels inside nerves.
Serums and chemicals do not get
inside nerve cells, and that is why
all have failed to date.
Entirely new lines of attack will
have to be devised if this disease is
to be conquered" says E. w. Schultz,
M. D., of Stanford University.
He is one OF the group which de-
veloped the only new weapon now
on hand. This is zinc sulfate,
dropped into the nose, as hope of
temporary immunity during ep-
idemics.
The virus apparently enters the
body only through the exposed ends
of olfactory nerves. The search for
a nose gateway preventive began in
1912. The first promise of success
came in 1886 when Drs. G. Arm
strong and w T. Harrison of the
United States Public Health Service
tried alum in an Alabama outbreak.
Next, the Stanford group dis
covered that zinc sulfate is much
more lasting preventive in monkeys
The zinc was tried in Toronto
in 1887.
Neither was an accepted success,
and for an unexpected reason.
Sprays used in these epidemics failed
to put the chemicals where they
would infallibly cover the olfactory
nerves. But after these epidemics,
1t was discovered that simply drop
ping the chemicals in the nose with
the head virtually upside down, was
completely effective.
Look for Risk-Free Chemical.
This new method was tried, with
zinc sulfate, in Nicaragua in 1898
Used on about 4,500 persons it ap-
parently halted that epidemic. But
the number was too small to pro-
vide basis for drawing conclusions.
Meanwhile, it has been learned
that in zinc sulfate there may be
definite threat of permanent dam
age to the sense of smell. The
Stanford scientists are now looking
for chemical which may be entire
ly free of this risk.
Just as 1899 was ending, at Colum-
bus, Ohio, DR.. Albert B. Sabin re-
ported to scientists evidence that
the human body had zones of i'm
munity against diseases. To inves-
tigate the possibility of this in
infantile paralysis, the National
Foundation for Infantile Paralysis
gave DR.. Sabin grant of money.
In addition, the foundation is
financing AZ other studies.

fishing valid and reliable criteria

ability" He added:
