Dudley Bagley, State REA direc-

the story of the rural cooperative

It seems that complaints had been
made frequently to the state REA
by 4 farmer who contended he just
couldn't get the coop to serve him
with electricity.
When the Democratic director
came to Raleigh Mr.. Bagley saw him;
taxed him with the complaint. The
director flatly denied that anybody
had been refused current and stout
ly maintained it had been furnished
everybody wanting it. Finally the
REA head want TO his files got out
some Of the letters and showed them.
The director looked at them, saw
the signature and snorted:

Cold Outside Fails

As Circus Opens
Capitals First Indoor
Show Is Welcomed
JoyousIy by Crowd

It was wet and cold outside, but
gay springtime reigned In Riverside
Stadium last night.
Aerial acrobats cavorted among
the steel girders overhead. Clowns,
trained seals and bareback riders
disported themselves on the floor
where ice hockey players are won't
to glide. Children'S Shrill cries of
amazement and delight mingled
with robust laughter of adults.
Washington had its first circus
performance of the season and the
city's initial indoor circus produc-
ton last night as Frank Wirth's
three-ring company opened weeks

dren's Hospital.
The spirit of spring that the circus
brought to the Capitals ''mid-win-

Senorita Miacahua on the tight

the enemy has yet suffred at the hands of our fighters and ground defenses.'
 Only 1e British fighters were lost, the air ministry said, and eight of the pilots survived.
 The air ministry and ministry of home security issued 6 comfnunique which said later information con- firms in general that little damage was done in raids on this country yesterday evening"
 There were number of high explosive bombs, however, which fell on a town in southeast England, damaged some houses and caused a small number of casualties, some fatal" the communique added:
 But while the Germans were raid- ing Britain, the RAF was intensity ing British raids on Germany. Hav- ing stepped up the pace and scope of their forays against the enemy on Friday night in counter attacks that carried them deep into Germany, RAF bombers raided German naval and aerial concentration points again Saturday night, yesterday last night and early today.
 Britain Raids Go On
 Residents of Dover, on the south east coast, saw brilliant flashes across the channel which indicated that bombs were dropping on Ger man bases in France. The flashes came at frequent intervals and were 50 vivi dthat they were reflected in Dover windows. The raids, it ap- peared, were being carried out 10 to IS miles inland.
 The British had been bombing the French coast at intervals since Saturday night, and yesterday, while German war planes were roaring over England. heavy detonations were audible across the channel where RAF raiders were at work.
 The night before, British raiders had "srEcessfClly attacked" sea- planes and shipping in Boulogne harbor, oil plants, munitions factor ies, aircraft stores and railways in Germany and a total of 26 air. dromes in northwest France, Hol- land. and Belgium without losing a plane, according to the air mir- istry.
 After. the Boulogne raid, during which three tons of high explosive bombs were dropped on piers, sea- planes and ships, shells from Ger man coastal batteries followed the British planes until they were four miles from the British coast" the air ministry said.

Support For .Dr. Anastasio
 Sought Here
Italian Democrats Endorse New Havener = Hurley
 Support Here ScOffed

Local Italian Democratic leaders will ask the Water bury delegation to the state convention at New Haven Friday and Saturday to support pr. Frank Anastasio. of New Haven, for the con- gressman-at-large nonina tion. Dr. Anastasio has been endorsed by the Italian, American Democratic club. It is undersood that party leaders have not yet given any commitment, the opinion having been expressed that it would be better to delay any action until the outcome of the race for the guber- material nomination between ex- Gov. Wilbur L. Gross and Public Works Commissioner Robert A. Hurley becomes known.
 Organization leaders claimed to- day that only few of the fl con- vention delegates from Waterbury favor the nomination of MT. Hur- ley. One went so far as to declare that no more than two of the group were pro-H Hurley.
 Ex-Town Chairman Joseph F. Mulville, a Hurley packer, said to- day he will make no attempt to solicit any Hurley votes in the dele- gation. He still plans to fight the unit rule, being ready to take the issue to the floor of the conven- tion, if necessary.
 It was learned today that the list of towns prepared by the corlyen- ton committee for use in taking down roll call votes does not desig- nate Waterbury as one of the towns where the delegation is bound by the unit rule. This is presumably an error, since the convention which named the delegates adopt ed unanimously a resolution mak- ing the unit rule effective.

Appeal Filed.
 By City In |Barstis Case
Compensation Award By Com. Sachs Brings Ac.
 ton in Winsted Court

An appeal by the City of Waterbury from a decision of Compensation Comnis- sioner Louis Sachs has been filed in the Winsted superior court, in the case of Joseph Barstis of Waterbury. Com missioner Lynch disqualified himself in this case, and Commissioner Sachs award ed Barstis $13.83 weekly from Oct. 3, 1889, throughout the period of incapacity, not to exceed the limit set up by statute, in addi. tion to various medical bills, in com pensation for an advanced state of silicosis, for which employment by the City of Waterbury on the She- paug tunnel was partially the cause.
 Barstis was employed on the She- paug tunnel from May, 1924, to July, 1927, but had previously worked in Pennsylvania coal mine, and then on the ahandaken tunnel in New York. Comsr. Sachs fctfid that Barstis contracted the silicosis in Pennsylvania, but that his work on the tunnel in Bantam aggravated the trouble, and hence warranted compensation.
 The city claimed that the silicosis was aggravated by the work in New York state, and that every possible precaution was taken in the work on the Shepaug tunnel to safeguard the health of the workrien. It also claimed that Barstis' claim for corn- pensation was not filed within the necessary time. The cornmissiotiey denied both of these claims.

 New Order for Britain
 "The new order" Anderson said. "is a precautionary measure. It places no fresh restrictions on pulp lie freedom but does enable any measures which might become urg- ently necessary through enemy landing by air or sea to be intro duced without delay in any part of the country in which they are re- quired.
 "The effect of this Is to give re- gional commissioners in England, Scotland and wales authority, sub- ject to the control and direction of the Minister of Home Security, to issue any directions and orders re- quired for purposes of defense with- in their respective areas.
 "The commissioners will act in close cooperation with the military authorities.
 Directions which have already been issued under previous defense area orders are not affected by this new order. These directions relate to control of movement, cuffew and access to beaches ct cetra in the specified districts"
 The new order makes Anderson and his 12 regional commissioners virtual dictators, in cooperation with thet military authorities, of the en- tire civilian populaton of Great Bri- tain, except that of Northern Ire land.
 The regional commissioners, who are little dlctators" under Ander- son, are empowered to regulate or prohibit the movement of persons, vehicles or animals in their respec- tive areas.
 The regulations do not cover northern Ireland.
