said, Gov. Baldwin called Pallotti late one afternoon and told him to start proceedings. The Attorney general, taken by surprise on the matter, urged the governor to withhold announcement until he could find out where the state stood.
 The governor didn't wait, how ever, according to the story, and published his intentions, leaving PallOtti on somewhat of 8 spot. Since that time, the Attorney General and COrkey have been looking into the case, but, it was believed, have not as yet come up with anything on which the state can base case.
 Now, Pallotti is said to be concentrating on one aspect" of the situation which may decide definitely, one way or the other. what action, if any, the state is going to take. From all available information, the odds are against any court action at this time.
 Exclusive: Ran into State Sen. Charles J. Arrigoni R., Durham, president pro tempore of the sem ate and third in line for the governorship. Arrigoni also'i is head of the Middlesex County Republi- can organization, friendly to Gov. Baldwin, but not so close to Ma tional Committeeman Samuel F. Pryor, Jr., and J. Kenneth Brad- ley.
 Arrigoni yielded heavy power in the senate during the 1889 ses- sion, held the rostrum many times, continued a barrage against highway department policies, and blocked full term combinations for Highway Commissioner Will liam J. Cox and Finance Com- missioner o. Glenn Saxon. \ He is 8 close friend of State Chairman Benjamin E. Harwood, who lives at nearby Chester.
 The conversation:
 Reporter: "Say, Charlie, re- member some time ago you told me you would not be candidate for reelection"
 Arrigoni: That's right. will not run again"
 Reporter: What about your county leadership?"
 Arrigoni: T am going to give that up, too.','
 Reporter: "Then what are you going to do?"
 Arrigoni: T am going to take care of my family"
 At that moment Arrigoni was called away and no further ex- changes resulted.

Troop Ships of Last War Will Be Sold For
 Scrap
BY SANDOR S. KLEIN Limited Press Staff Correspondent

(Un1teo Press stair C0rreSpOndent)
 Washington, Jan. 25.-UP)- Cap'n Fred c. Bailey kept a lone some watch today over his last com mand-four ships which carried American troops to the World War and President Wilson to the Yer sailles conference.
 The liners, George Washington Monticello, Mt. Vernon and Amer ica, seized from Germany during the World War, lay in the ice.-chokeo Patuxent river off Solomon's Island Md.
 His command is about over. At noon, group of men in the mari- time commission offices here got down to the unsentimental business of opening bids for them. The com mission has decreed that the pur- chaser must break them up for scrap. Belligerents were barred as bidders.
 Decommissioner after long careers as troop transports and luxury liners in the transatlantic trade, the ves- sels were placed in Cap'n Bailey's care soon after the World war until use could be found for them.
 Year after year for more than a decade he has watched over them waiting-or rather hoping-for the day when they would again sail the deep-water lanes. He lives alone in modestly furnished quarters aboard the Monticello.
 Cap'n Bailey is 70 years old. He has spent nearly a half century at sea. He doesn't like to talk about himself and 1t was with great re-

grace period was given delinquents
to pay the "a. That period expires
Monday, and a determined drive tc

started.
Payments during March have
been few and far between. The city
has had to pay to the state a total
Of $135,700 as Its share Of the old
age assistance program. Taxes
taken in have been several thousand
dollars less than that sum, leaving
the city with q substantial deficit IN

been returned by the post office. II
Is hoped to locate many delinquents
by this method. Later the police will
bring not warning notices but wal :

TWO NAzI PLANES
REPORTED DOWNED

With British Air Force in France,
March 30-(P)-Two German planes
and possibly a third were shot down
yesterday over the German lines on
the western front, an official COM
munique said today.
The comunique said that 1.-THE
Royal Air Force shot down two
Messerschmitts in flames over the
German lines yesterday and in adj
dition 1t is possible that a Germany
Dornier plane was shot down."
The third plane, a Dornier-17.
was attacked by an Raj patrol. It
was last seen diving steeply into a

The air battle, with strong for
nations of German planes, started
near Metz where German planes
crossed the lines into French terri
tory.
Then the Germans were driven

Sawdust Go. Plant Swept
By Flames-Several
Firemen Hurt

Haverhill, Mass, March 30-(UP)
Sweeping rapidly through the long
one-story plant of the Merrimack
Sawdust company, a general-alarm
fire of suspicious origin, which
brought the steel plating covering
thestructure to white heat, early to-
day caused SIS 900 damage.
Four firemen were blown through
a doorway by a hot-air explosion
but only one was injured. Seven
others were felled by smoke inhala-
ton and another suffered a hand
injury while fighting the blaze.
Acting Chief Herbert A. Chase
expressed a theory of incendiarism
as the passerby who discovered the
blaze said 1t started outside the
building.
Hundreds of tons of sawdust
stored in the structure continued to
burn hours after the fire was brought
under control. Firemen poured wa
ter on the steel walls to cool them
enough to permit them to shift the
burning sawdust which was expected
to shoulder for days. t.

The Supreme Court today considers

ing an opportunity to study the full
text of the federal indictment.
Among 1O2 defendants named in q
general indictment returned by a
federal grand jury at Cleveland yes
terday are the Chase Brass & Cop
per Co., and it's assistant sales man
ager, John s. Coe; the Scovill Mfg
co. (Waterville division), and the
Hoffman Specially Co.
The Indictment listed the Scovili
CO. and the Hoffman Co., as CO.
conspirators, not subject to prose-
cution in the courts. Another de-
fendant named in the indictment
is the Connecticut Master Plumbers
association.
The Department of Justice, whose
Investigation resulted in the blanket
indictment, issued statement de-
claring that the Indictment is aimed
at removing trade restraints in the
plumbing industry. The move, SAID
the statement, marks the beginning
of a new phase Of the governments
campaign to reduce building costs
| by ending illegal and costly re-
straints. Reduction of 20 to Is per
cent in the cost of plumbing supplies
will follow the elimination of costly
steps in distribution, said the state
ment.
The indictment charges that the
defendants fostered restricted
system of distribution, with sup
plies going through the hands OF
manufacturer, jobber, master plum
Der and consumer. Charges are ex-
acted by the jobber and the master
plumber, it is claimed.
It is further alleged in the in
dictment that the defendants COM
piled a blacklist" of those refusing
to Join in the alleged system OF re-
stricted distribution. Supplies
bought by the consumer direct from
