 that the firm was settled in the Whitehall street building.
 Dr. Schwarz, who was consul here until 1883 when he was busted by the Hitler regime because of his devotion to the German Republic, told the U. s. Attorney that in 1888 Dr. Borcher opened a sealed en- velope left by von WimmerSperg and discovered in it an elaborate report concerning himself and the consul ate. He immediately asked permis- sion to move the agency from his floor and this was granted

planes raided over England and Wales throughout the night and it was indicated that their activities would far surpass those of yesterday in which it was estimated officially that as many as 500 German planes were in action at one time and as the result of which, 1t was asserted, 61 German planes had been downed, for 8 two day total of 126.
 Over a northeast England coastal town, German planes dropped their bombs and then raked with their machine guns the streets through which men, women and children fled to shelter, dispatches reported.
 A Welsh town was raided for hours. Official reports said tersely that homes were damaged and that there were a number of casualties.
 Bombs struck in two streets of a thickly populated southwest England town. Homes were obliterated and fires were started. A church and farm house were damaged in southeastern England. The Germans resumed the use of whistling bombs, one of the means by which they had terrorized civil ians in conquering Holland and Bel gium.
 Reports came from all corners of the country of the visitation raiding planes.
 Too Early To Guess Authoritative quarters emphasized that 1t still was too early to say whether a German invasion of Brit ain, coinciding, perhaps, with an Italian offensive against Egypt would follow the current wave ot air attacks.
 It was stressed, however, that Germany undoubtedly was prepared to lose 5000 or more planes in an effort to crush Great Britain. These quarters expected the Ger man air offensive to develop as fol- lows:
 l. Dive-bombers will attack ad- vance RAF bases near the coast to prevent their being used as refuel- ing and rearming centers.
 2. Raiders will attack airdromes and RAF operations centers farther inland.
 3. Other formations will press the most determined and concentrated attacks against the heart of Brit aims fighter command.

Cheshire Fatal Crash
 Decided By Coroner

o- otherwise. There is consid- erable straightaway, about one half mile in each direction. north and south, from the point of the collision. Tyler was proceeding at a speed estimated at about 45 miles per hour.
 The deceased, Foran, started from the center of Cheshire a short time previously, operating the said Ford automobile. The battery had gone dead in Cheshire and it was necessary to have the car pushed in order to get 1t started.
 Reporting to Police
 There were two other occupants, Edward B. Furey. who sat in the front seat at the right of the operator. Foran, and Rita Quinn, deceased,' who was seated alone in the rear seat. They were pro- ceeding to Hamden police head quarters for the purpose of fur nishing a bond of $50 for one Philip Glen Mccartney, who was being detained there on a motor vehicle charge arising out of oper- ation of the said Ford automobile of which said Mccartney, as here inbefore mentioned, was the owner.
 All three had been among the group of eleven who were riding homeward from New Haven about a. m. in the said Ford conver- tible sedan, and which was then being operated by the said Mo- Carthey. They were stopped at Hamden by police officer for over-crowding, and the operator placed under arrest for the mo- tor vehicle law violation.
 Foran was then allowed to drive said Ford to Cheshire for the purpose of raising the bond which was made necessary because the car, its owner and operator, were from without the state.
 Returning to Hamden police headquarters and approaching the point of collision the deceased Foran was operating the said Ford at a speed of about sixty miles per hour. and several feet over on the left hand side of the highway. Furey, the passenger seated on the front seat of the Ford car at the right of the op- orator Foran, saw the Tyler car and states that it was quite visi- ble at about one hundred feet, and he assumed that Foran would turn towards the right to pass. IEoran did not turn from his course perceptibly, however, and the passenger Furey shouted Look out" to Foran, but too late to syoid the collision.
 There was no other traffic in tn vicinity at the time of the col- lision, and the deceased Foran had a space available to him at his right of some twenty eight feet, measuring from the point of impact on the highway to the outer edge of the right or westerly shoulder.
 No Eye Glasses
 The point of impact was some 1T feet from the westerly edge of the highway, and, in addition thereto. there was q westerly shoulder of eleven feet suitable for travel. The evidence indicates strongly that Foran's attention was given greatly to getting back to the police headquarters and

Democrat, Oklahoma, to raise. the basic pay of enlisted men from $2l to $50 a month.
 Democratic leader Alben W. Bark ley said he approved Sheppard's action.
 The amendment, if approved, would partially meet the demands of a group which contends that low army pay has held down enlistments At the same time, it would eliminate discrepancies between army and navy base pay which have been a subject of criticism.
 The amendment was offered as the Senate entered its third day ot debate on the draft bill. Senator Edward R. Burke, Democrat, Ne braska, its co-sponsor, Senator Bur ton K. Wheeler, Democrat, Montana unofficial leader of the opposition, and Senator Tom Connally, Demo- crat, Texas, plan to speak.
 Chairman Andrew J. May of the House Military Affairs Committee, said the House will take up tomor- TOW the National Guard mobilization bill which would authorize President Roosevelt to call up 260,00O guards men and reservists for training or for hemisphere defense. The meas ure already has Senate approval.
 Mays committee late yesterday reported the bill favorably, but struck out a provision which would have made employers refusing to rehire draftees subject to prosecution under the Wagner act.
 Vote Is Secret
 May refused to disclose the vote by which the Wagner Act protection amendment" was stricken and indi- cated that he believes that adequate protection could be given through another bill he is sponsoring. That measure, endorsed by the army would protect trainees by deferring whatever payments they owe on rent insurance, taxes and other fixed ex- penses.
 The committee rewrote, but did not delete, Senate amendment, Spon- sored by Sen. Key Pittman, D., New. to allow national guardsmen with de- pendents to resign within 20 days of enactment of the bill.
 The House version of the Pittman proposal would require guardsmen to prove that they and their dependents have no means of support other than service pay.
 Burke who began his explanation of the bill yesterday, spent most of the time answering criticism by Sen George w. Norris, Ind, Neb., New Deal friend who charged that con- Scription was step toward dictator ship.
 The world situation shows that the United States must abandon ineffec- tive preparedness methods and se- cure sufficient manpower to operate the $14,O00 100000 mechanized war machine which Congress has author ized, Burke contended. The bill, he said, was democratic because it dis tributes the burden of service evenly over one age group. instead of rely ing upon mythical recruits who might never join the army.

proceeding in an opposite or southerly direction along said highway. The latter automobile was 1888 Ford convertible sedan, registration number 6C-76-11. New York, registered in the name of Philip Glen Mccartney, of 320 East 72d street, New York City. Both operators were duly lic- ensed operators of motor vehicles.
 The two cars collided partly head-on and with great force at about the left headlights of each and each then veered to its right. The Tyler car came to a stop with the front facing approxi- mately in a southeasterly direc- ton, against stone wall, twelve feet from and running parallel with the edge of the easterly shoulder. The Ford came to stop facing in an approximate north westerly direction. in small ditch adjoining the westerly shoulder of the highway. The deceased, Foran, was thrown through the left front door and lay near the left side of the car, and the deceased, Rita Quinn, was thrown from said car and lay few feet forward of the said automobile on the lawn of the premises located at. that place.
 The highway thereat is of as- phalt and tWenty-SiX feet wide from shoulder to shoulder, in ad- dition to which there is six-foot shoulder at the easterly side and at the westerly side a shoulder of eleven feet, both of which shoul- ders are suitable for automobile travel. >~
 No Brake Marks
 There were no brake marks on the pavement from either car. There were a series of tire and other marks proceeding from the aforementioned point of impact to each vehicle.
 Tyler left for home from his place of employment, a Howard Johnson restaurant in Branford, at about 3:30 a. m. and drove to Cheshire through Hamden. He had just completed his days work. Two companions, who rode with him from Branford, anghted at Hamden and Tyler proceeded some six miles to Cheshire when his headlights suddenly went out. He was then about one mile from the place where the collision sub- sequently occurred and about two miles from his home in Cheshire. There were no garages open and no traffic in the vicinity when his headlights went out and Tyler proceeded toward home. It was still dark and headlights were necessary but the darkness had begun to fade slightly. By extend- ing his left arm he signaled his approach to one or two cars which passed him in an opposite or southerly direction. He did not see the Foran car as 1t approached also in an opposite or scutherly direction, as aforesaid, until 1t was about ten feet from him and di recetly, in front of him on the highway, the left headlights of each car being about opposite or directly in line. The headlights oi the Foran car were turned on, but were very dim, due to a de- fective battery. Neither operator turned to pass the other and neither applied brakes or gave any signal of his annroach hv horn
