Concord, Mass, Feb. 15.-(UP)- Edward Holton James. 63. leader of an organization of Red Shirts" cp- posing political priestcraft," has offered to tell the Dies committee investigating un- Amreican activities all about his movement.
 Informed last night that George Hurley, a Dies committee investiga- tor had gone to Cambridge and that he might summon some editors of the Harvard undergraduate news paper Crimson" to Washington to tell about the organization which the Crimson had described as the "anti- -Catholic. Red Shirts" James said:y
 "gVe,re a small group of people who are not anti-C Catholic nor op- posed to ai.y. religious group or re- Iigicr. That's right in our platform. We do wear req shirts as pictur- esque tcuch, but We or. wear them at meetings and that is entirely op- ticnal.y
 He calls 1t the, Yankee e-Ameii n act;cn organization. Its platform. he said, calls for "a centralized gov erEment. nsticnai schools and a nasional police force. s

ful or otherwise, to bring this about, but the kind of revolution will depend on what the mass of the people want" he said.
 The Harvard newspapers interest in the group sprang from the fact that 1t was using the divinity scholo's social center for its meet ings. Harvard,s Dean William L.. Perry immediately barred the or ganization from the center.
 Asked whether his group, which he said numbered about 30 per sons including business men, educa- tors and a newspaperman," opposed Father Charles E. Coughlin, James said: I'm not mentioning any names. I simply mean that we op- pose political priestcraft and are not in any way opposed to any religious group"
 The Crimson said the organiza- ton lis secretly engaged in foment- ing anti Catholic feeling through out New England and in laying plans for propaganda attack upon .he party fystem of politics and uni- versSl suffrage"

TAX CLERK CASE
 GOES TO TUESDAY
Juror NckersOn of Sey- mOur Still III Judge
 McEvoy AdjOurns Case

Trial of the case of Miss Mary Cavanaugh, clerk in the office of former Tax Collector William A. Ennis, charged with elnbezzlement will not be resumed until nexI Tuesday. Judge Frank P. McEvoy. the presiding jurist, made this de- cision late yesterday afternoon when word was received that Omar Nick erson of Seymour, one of the jurors, who was unable to attend yester- days session would be confined to his home over the week end.
 Even if Juror Nickerson had been able to attend court session to- day there is no doubt but that the trial would have to be postponed anyway due to the blizzard.
 Clerk George H. Freeman of the superior court a. aoilnced at the opening of court yesterday that he had received word that MT. Nick erson was indisposed and would not be able to take his seat on the jury. Judge McEvoy on receiving the aews concerning the juror adjourned court until 10 o'clock this morning.
 The present setup of the Cav anaugh trial, insofar as the jury Is concerned, is most unusual. It was agreed. upon the suggestion of Judge McEvoy that two alternate jurors should be selected as was the case in the Waterbury conspir- acy trial. The procedure of select Ing alternates is unusual in Con- lec.icut courts but the time involved In the trial of the conspiracy trial and the present embezzlement case were taken into consideration by

NEW ENGLAND IS RAVACED BY STORM
Thousands of Abandoned Autos Still Black High-
 ways In Many Sections

Boston, Feb. 15-(UP)-NeW Eng flanders began digging out today after a ravaging nor'-east blizzard whipped out to sea, leaving at least six dead, thousands of travellers marooned and damage of perhaps $l,00O,00O III southern sections.
 Rails and highway transportation was crippled, scores of boats were smashed and several lost. Air travel was at standstill. Thousands of abandoned automobiles still blocked highways at mid-morning as skies cleared and the sun appeared.
 It was the worst storm since Jan uary 20, 1886, when 10 persons died in blizzard accompanied by a 50- mile gale.
 One ship, the freighter Sunfiower, sank during last nights 75-mile gale at her mooring at Jamestown, R. l. Her crew of four reached shore safely through towering breakers.
 At Cape Elizabeth, Me, Charles Kenniston, 32, and Frank E. Doggett, Al, both of Portland, were rescued by coast guards from the disabled traWler Pinta which was lost later when towline broke.
 Fires as Blizzard Rages
 Five multiple-alarm fires were fought at the height of the blizzard.
 A majority of the 12.500 spectators at Sonia Henie's ice revue were stranded overnight in Boston Gar den. Thousands were marooned for hours in street cars and busses.
 State police reported that the only road open to western Massac chusetts was route 20 from Moncton to Pitts field.
 Boston & Albany railroad trains between Boston and Albany, N. Y. were running two hours behind schedule.
 It was reported that two large busses, filled with passengers, were stalled in drifts between Boston and Providence, R. l., but Massachusetts state police said no trace of the ve- hicles could be found. At 6 a. m. the wind had dropped to 30 miles an hour but it still was showing heavily.
 The weather bureau at Boston pre- dicted fair and colder weather throughout the six states tonight and Friday.

Worst SnOwstOrm T hat Struck State In Years;

Hartford, Conn.,, Feb. 15.-UP) Connecticut fought its way from under one of the worst SnowStormS in years today and transportation facilities were severely hit by huge drifts piled up by a 50-miles-an- hour gale that relentlessly swept the state throughout the night. U. s. weather bureau announced an aver age snowfall depth of l0.2 inches at Hartford.
 The wind, at times. was so strong that people were toppled in the streets and hundreds of automobiles were marooned along the highways after being battered for hours.
 Schools generally were closed, bus service was suspended in most sec- tions, the $25 100000 Merritt Park way through Fairfield county to the New York state line was imperative and northbound trains were run ming as much as an hour and one half behind schedule.
 Air travel had been grounded since the start of the Strom yeS- terday morning.
 6 Inches to a FO0t
 The unexpected driving storm brought snowfall ranging from eight inches to a foot and drifts that piled from three to five feet high.
 The forecast was for clearing weather, colder temperatures and quick relief from the blizzard which compared with the Thanksgiving day storm oi 1888.

Storm Eaters East In
 24-Hour Fierce Drive
Most of Country Buried Under Three to Twenty Inches of SnOw-Heavy Toll of Lives = Property
 Damage Will Reach Into Millions
(By United Press)

A storm which for almost 24 hours battered the eastern Seaboard from North Carolina to Ontario and left most of 1t buried under three to 20 inches of snow moved oceanward today after taking 8 heavy toll of lives and causing property damage estimated in the millions.
 The forecast was for clearing skies and colder weather, diSsipating for the moment fears of devastating floods which would be certain to fol- low a sudden thaw.
 The storm, originating in the southwest, produced the paradox of violent northeaSterly gales which lashed the stricken area at velocltles ranging from 30 to 80 miles an hour.
 Scores of small boats were pound- ed to pieces at their moorings, many larger vessels were in distress at sea, highways in half a dozen states were blocked, thousands of persons-many of them school chill dren -- were marooned all night, rivers were choked with ice and snow, electric service to scores Of communities was disrupted at the height of the storm, and gale-lash- ed fires caused inestimable damage.
 Record of Deaths
 The storm took at least five lives in Pennsylvania, four in Ohio, four in New York City, two in upstate New York, and five in New Eng land.
 Perhaps the worst damage was In New England where coastal ship ping suffered, and five major fires were reported. In snowbound south ern New England alone the damage was estimated at more than $1,000,- 900.
 Snowfall ranged from 6 to- IA inches and was confined mostly to Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island, wind shift causing the storm to miss Vermont and New Hampshire and to touch Maine only lightly.
 Rhode Island was the hardest hit. A gale-churned sea pounded the coast from Watch Hill to Narragan- sett where combers rolled far in land. Scores of smal boats were smashed and at least two of many

 According to present plans, friends said, Mrs. Roosevelt then will file counter action and Roose- welt will drop his suit and allow her to get the decree uncontested. The grounds on which the divorce action would be based were not learned. Neither Roosevelt nor Mrs. Roosevelt, who. was reported to be in New York, could be reached for comment.
 The divorce, if gone through with, would be the third in the presidents family of five children. Anna Roosevelt was divorced from Curtis Dall and then married John Boet- tiger, Washington newspaper man, and Elliott Roosevelt was divorced
