 cident is open to the public, under what rule can the police investiga- ton of any other crime be kept sec- ret?"
 He goes on to say that in the in- vestigation of such crimes as arson, murder, conspiracy, sexual crimes, blackmail or almost any crime one can think of, there may be many points developed during the course of an investigation, which may be helpful to the police and pr9secut- ing officials, which would be against public policy to disclose. He sets forth that many persons give in- formation in automobile cases and other cases on a promise that their names will not be mentioned in the particular case.
 Attorney Lynch then sets forth that the showing of police rec ord is a matter of discretion on the part of police department heads and that if they decide that the principle of confidential reports should be maintained they are not abusing that discretion.
 Fails to Allege
 It is further set forth that Atty Wertheimer has not alleged that Supt. Roach has arbitrarily said ons party couldn't view the records anc that another one could. "The rule k the same for all," Atty. Lynct l claims.
 Going on further the corporation counsel says ITO open the private records of the police department ts public inspection would be to create a very dangerous precedent. Inves' tigators for the various states attor' neys would be hampered since theil investigation would be at least a. public as the investigation of tht municipal police.
 The brief claims that if police man makes notes in case for thl purpose of refreshing his memory i is no different that private citizer similarly making notes or newspa' per reporter doing the same thing.
 In conclusion Atty. Lynch argue that the problem involved in thu petition is a most serious one ant that since there is no statute laV requiring investigation to be re duced to writing the records ar therefore purely for the private us of the police department and ar not subject to public inspection. ] Atty. Lynch then says that sine the purpose of the writ of man damus is not to establish 8 lega right but to enforce one which ha already been established, the lega
 right of Atty. Wertheimer and hi client to the performance of the par ticular act of which performance sought to be compelled must h clear and complete. In the preser ,, case he says such right not only fai. to be clear and complete but appear to be totally non-existant.

in Egypt, including balloon tire transports and water supply trucks, was constructed for desert use, glv- ing the impression that the prospec- tive terrain was unlikely to be Tur- key or Russia. Newspapers in Palestine, Syria, and Egypt, censored for military secrets, are permitted to talk freely of possible attacks from Russia, but no speculation is permitted regarding Italy.
 The Italian airline on which l flew from Cairo was not permitted by Egyptian authorities to cut cut across the desert between Libya and Cairo as 1t formerly did. 1n- stead Italian planes must fly Q roundabout way along the coast from Benghasi to Alexandria, where they must descend to 1900 feet so they can be checked from the ground until they reach Cairo, mak- ing the Benghasi-Cairo flight two hours longer than before the war. |.
 Italian correspondents complained of the restrictions placed on them in most of these countries.
 In Regard to India
 India, which some military ex- perts consider a possible Russian ob- jective and to which the Khyber Pass would be a gateway, is prac- tically devoid, I found, Of any special defensive preparations. On the contrary, crack Indian troops have been transferred to Egypt where I saw them encamped 1n the shadows of the pyramids.
 It seems logical that if the AL lies had any anxiety over Russia. India would be turned into one of the bulWarks of the Allied de- fense in this part of the world; yet my travels which took me to north ern India gave no hint of any such preparations.
 The majority of military experts and impartial observers in the east agreed that if Italy should enter the war on the side of Germany she would have to seize immediately the Suez canal, Egypt and the Su- dan or abandon Ethiopia, which would otherwise be cut off from Italy. It was also pointed out in this connection that the Suez has always been among Italian aspira- tionS.
 The British and French armies of the east are organized to fight as a single machine, but separate com raands are maintained.
 While was in Beirut, Weyand's aide-de-camp emphasized that Wey- gand was merely commanding the French forces and was not over the British troops of the east.

 Lieutenant Pollard said Stickles was employed on a project at South bury and went there this morning to find there would be no work to- day because of the rainy weather.

TWO ARE KILLED
 IN PLANE CRASH

 q don't know what happened, he said at the hospital. We had trouble all the way down and in passing over Putnam my radio went bad. could hear Boston all right but I couldn't talk back. Near where we crashed we ran into a low ceiling and I think the motor conked.
 "The next thing I knew l was telling Smith to go for help. l wandered around in the woods and then went to sleep. When l woke up I kept looking for a way out of the woods"
 It was reported the plane fell from a height of about 1900 feet.
 Both Bodies Recovered
 Both bodies were recovered and taken to Middletown undertaking parlor where arrangements were to be made for their removal to Bos- ton.
 HartWell said he owed his life to Smith, who pulled him from the burning plane. His heavy overcoat, nearly burned away, saved him from critical injury. He is pilot for Inter-City.
 Moves, father of four children was president of the Moves Buick Sales Co. of Boston and had char tered the plane to take the party to Palm Beach to close his winter residence there. They left Boston at 11:05 p. m. yesterday.
 Moves, a widely-known yachts man, had returned from Palm Beach last week and planned tc close the residence and then return to Marblehead on his yacht Tioga
 Rideout, father of 15-year-olc son, was employed as a receiver by the Moves company.
 Moves was president of the Noyes Buick Sales Co.,, Boston, and char tered the plane for a vacation jaunt.
 For several hours police were un- certain how many passengers were in the plane and the woods were searched by members of a nearby eco camp until after dawn.
 At first, only one body was seer in the flames, that of Moves. Late, state police said another was dis cernible.
 Belief that only three persons wer' in the cabin plane was gained from Hartwell who, at the hospital, kept repeating:
 He knew that Smith had savee | himself and, police said, apparently thought that Rideout also had beer thrown clear.

 To Hear Reports
 After Reynaud's speech the Sen- ate decided to sit secretly for the second time since the outbreak of war to hear confidential reports from the army, navy and air com- mittees and to debate national de- fense subjects.
 Reynaud said that the Allies have captured and hold Narvik,' and he asserted that in addition to losing 30 per cent of her line ships during the past week, German losses by ships sunk or damaged included:
 Twenty per cent of her (German's> cruiser strength, 25 per cent of destroyers sunk, IS per cent of destroyers damaged and Germany lost 78,000 tons of mer- chant ships, sunk, scuttled or cap- tured."
 Proving the importance of Nar- vik the Germans sent seven de- stroyers, which have been sunk, hc said. "The Allies hold Narvik and control of the iron route.
 We hare mined the Baltic. As result of the Allied landing at Mar vik a third front has been estab- lished. Other forces are en route The Germans will be forced to scatter their forces by the Allies who, on the contrary, will concen- trate their forces with the Norwe- gians.
 Another result of the landing at Narvik is the moral and personal defeat of Hitler, who is sinking deeper in crime"

Men Members Hesitate
 The men members of the town committee decided against filling the iff1ce of vice chairman in pre-meet- ing conferences. They did not relish the idea of woman vice-chairman serving as chairman in the event that the chairman could not be present at any meeting.
 Two women have yet 10 be named to the town committee, to bring it to its full membership of GA. No women representative have yet been named for District Is and District 2-1.
 There is possibility of a spirited dispute over the choice of vice. chairman, if it is decided to fill the position, since women on ths com mittee represent two rival organi- zations, the Democratic Women's Booster Club and the Women's Democratic Club. This was another reason for not filling the office.
