POLICE ARREST
 NORRIS KELLAM
Comedy Swimmer Who Weighs 34z lbs. Works
 Film FIam in Ridge6eId

Norris ''Corky" Kellam, 342-pound stunt swimmer from Washington, D. c. who was featured in Billy Roses Aquacade at the Worlds Fair and who recently put on an exhibition for the Orion Club at the Central r here, will be arraigned in Ridgefield town court tonight ct 2 o'clock to answer charges why he did not keep a date on January 22 in Ridgefield to dive off the 15O-foot span of the New Milford bridge into the ice- bound Housatonic river.
 He was arrested yesterday in Worcester, Mass, and brought tc Ridgefield by state police. Kellam had promised New Milford people a real treat that would make their eyes pop. He said he would cut two holes in the l4-inch ice and dive into one, swim in the water for several feet, and emerge from the second hole.
 Kellam had little difficulty in con- vincing merchants of the town that his stunt would make a swell ad- vertising opportunity especially after the whole town turned out at the bridge. At subscriptions costing $2.5O and s the merchants snapped at the idea.
 So tonight Kellam's thoughts will be far from bridges and dives for he will be charged with four. counts of obtaining money under false pre- lenses. According to "Corky" he has been transforming around New York and New England since the Fair closed and things haven't been so rosy.

 Hundreds of thousands danced last night, 50 that others might walk" at thousands of birthday balls in honor of the presidents 58th birthday The festivities were climaxed shortly before midnight when MT. Roosevelt, in a five min ute thank you, and God bless you' radio message to the dancers and to the nation, expressed apprecia- ton for the contributions at the balls and to the mile of dimes campaign.
 MT. Roosevelt said he hoped the goal of the annual celebrations eventually would be "the care of all crippled children, no matter what the cause of their crippling."
 fNo nation in the world has ever put a larger volunteer army into the field than the army of Ameri- cans which tonight is taking part in the defense of American childhood, he said.
 While the president spent a quiet evening at the White House with a group of old friends, his wife and l8 motion picture, radio and stage stars were the center of attraction at the six major balls held in Wash- ington hotels. A few moments after the presidents speech, Mrs. Roose- welt cut the first slice of her hus- bands four-decker 312-pound, red, white, and blue birthday cake at the Mayflower hotel.
 Approximately 15,000 Washing tonians attended the balls and many of them followed the cele- brities from one hotel to another.
 Union difficulties almost spoiled the celebration at Alexandria, Va, when some of the Hollywood stars learned that the orchestra was non- union and refused to enter the hall. Ball officials finally settled the issue by hiring 8 union orchestra and paying off the non-union men.
 Outstading of the other balls held in every city in the country as well as in hundreds of smaller commit mites were those held at New York's Waldorf Astoria and Concourse Plaza hotels where Mrs. James Roosevelt cut birthday cakes.

 visory Committee

Plans for the general survey of public health conditions in Water- bury which is to begin soon were outlined before a meeting of the citizens advisory committee at the city hall last night by pr. Ira V. Hiscock, professor at the public health department of the Yale medical school. The session was attended by large group repre- sentirlg the city government, hos- pitals, service clubs, charitable and welfare organizations and various civic groups.
 The broad project, whose only cost to the city will be less than $350 for office supplies and inci- dentals. will employ the services of Dr. Hiscock and staff of eight from Yale. With him will be doc- tors, engineers and graduate stu- dents.
 To be studied will be general health and sanitary conditions, dental hygiene, water supply, milk and food supplies, public nursing, and housing. The survey will be generally similar to projects com pleted in other cities in recent years.
 Health reports of recent years will be carefully studied, and com- pared with those of other cities. They will be analysed in the light of survey developments.
 Special studies will be made in regard to health in the schools and the effects of housing on commun- ity health.
 The result of the survey will be set of recommendation for a broad health program for Water bury during the years ahead.

GERMAN PRESS
 PRAISES HITLER
Call Yesterdays Speech Historic-BOth Britain
 France Attacked
BY JOSEPH w. GRICC. JR.

(Unlted Press Staff COrreSpOndent)
 Berlin. Jan. 3l-(UP)-Inspired NaA newspapers took today as tho keynote of Adolf Hitler's anniver- sary speech last night his declara- ton that Germany would "live" and would fight until its rights" were won.
 Answer to Chamberlain and Dal- adler" and settling of accounts with the plutocracies" were two headlines, Voelkischer Becbachter official newspaper organ of the Nazi party, headlined in Red Ink across it's first "they will get their fightp' and said in subsidiary headlines: Adolf Hitler's reply to Chamber lain and Daladier: there can be no agreement without achievement of our rights"
 Lokalanzeiger called the speech historic, and in It's banner line pro- claimed: Germany Shall Liye.' The Deutsche Allgemeine Switung headlined: "Fuehrer,s peace aims: achievement of our rights" Hitler had broken silence of more than two months to make a speech to hurried assembly of German civilians in the Sports Pal ace on the occasion of the seventh anniversary of his accession to pow CT. His last public speech had been at the Nazi beer cellar at Munich and he had left a few minutes be- fore a bomb exploded over the speakers platform.
 Political quarters, discussing last nights speech, called 1t particularly noteworthy because of the bitter ness with which he spoke of Prime Ministers Neville Chamberlain and Edouard Daladier of Great Britain and France, and because he attack. ed France as bitterly as he did Brit ain, thus departing for the first time from his policy of centering his attacks on Britain and almost igor- ing Frances part in the war.
 Foreign quarters inclined to re- gard the speech as designed primar- fly to hold the German people at war time pitch.
 After Hitler had spoken he left the arena abruptly. "SS" troops kept the doors closed tight for five minutes after he had gone. It was only then that the audience relaxed, lit cigarettes, pipes or the long thin German cigars and began smoking and leaving. Nobody smoked during the nearly two hours the audience spent awaiting Hitler and listening to him. '-.
