The Red Reason

MOSCOW, Sept. 9.-R-The
Communist party organ, Prav-
da, asserted today "The real
reason for the exile Of King
Carol" from Rumania was his
provocative policy" toward the
Soviet Union.
Pravda said Carol provoked in
cidents on the Rumanian-Rus-
sian border and spread rumors
that Russia was preparing to
attack in an effort to justify
the transfer of Transatlantic to
Hungary and obtain German
Italian guarantees for the re-
hinder of his territory.

In Washington

Observation-Disclosures Is say
ing anything about it out loud, but
the innermost inner circle New
Dealers are breathing much easier
these days because of Harry Hop
kins' resignation from the cabinet.
That may sound odd, since Hop
kins himself is and always has
been one Of the elect, simon-pure,
aged-in-the-vat New Dealers. But
during the last couple of months
there has been a sharp division
between Hopkins and the Corcoran-
Cohen group.
For one thing, the extremely
close personal relationship existing
between President Roosevelt and
Hopkins has Of late tended to
freeze up the Corcoran-C ohen
contacts with the White House.
More important, however, is the
fact the Corcoran-C Cohen crowd
has felt that the third term cam
paign was being badly misman-
aged under Hopkins guidance.
Hopkins, like FDR, felt much
more confident of a sweeping VIC
tory at the polls than did the Cor
coran-Cohen group. This was per.
fectly manifest at the Chicago con-
vention. Most of the New Dealers
there we're willing to compromise
with the more conservative wing
of the party in the interests Of har-
mony.
Hopkins, who was running the
draft movement, was not-the big
idea being that FDR was sure to
be reelected, so why bother?
OUT OF CABINET;
IN CAMPAIGN?
After the convention something
not unlike panic developed in New
Deal circles because Of this over
confidence at the top. ALI this be-
gan to come to a head when it be-
came known that Paul v. McNutt
would refuse to take part in the
campaign unless Hopkins attempt
to eliminate him as a 1914 posi-
bility was given up.
Finally, the feeling percolated
through to the President and, it is
said, somewhat abated his easy op-
timism.
Hopkins may be getting out of
the cabinet, but it remains to be
seen whether he is getting out OF
the campaign as well.
BRITAIN GETS
DESTROYERS
Look for the British flag to 60 up
on those 50-odd destroyers in the
very near future-probably without
Congress having had a chance to
pass on the proposition.
Latest understanding is that the
administration finally has become
satisfied it possesses ample legal
authority to make a sale-or-trade
deal without advance congressional
sanction, and that actual transfer
has been delayed only by the ne
vessity for rounding up British
crews to take the boats over.
Also, action had to await a
check-up to make sure that there
wouldn't be enough opposition in
the Senate to cause an embarrass'
ing bareback.
MIFFED
AT WILLKIE
Isolationist senators are plenty
peeved at Wendell Willkie, not so
much because he came out for a
more or less ''interventionist' for
eign policy as because he didn't do
the coming out until the middle OF
August
For some odd reason the isola-
tionists had been hoping that
Willkie was going to espouse a
foreign policy they could support.
Hoping so, they delayed making
their arrangements for an isola-
third party ticket.
Now that Willkie has . unde'
,eived them, it's too late. Their
ticket maneuvers are still going
IN. but the consensus is that the
,ime now is too short to do the

Aerial War
BY PAUL

NEA Service Staff Correspondent
LONDON. There's a 20-acre
graveyard just outside London.
It's the funeral pyre of 697 Ger.
man Heinkels, Dorniers, Messer-
schmitts and Junkers shot down
by the Royal Air Force during II
days Of air battle over England.
1t takes an hour and . half to
make a tour Of this burial ground
because, like the cattle pens in the
Chicago and Kansas City stock
yards, this strip of meadowland is
divided into separate lots.
But instead of wooden planks
for the dividing barriers each pen
of an acre each filled with metal
wreckage IL feet high is separated
by wings from the fuselage of Ger
man airplanes.
The 1877 men smashing this
wreckage rather enjoy their work
because almost as fast as they pile
it into mounds the material is
hauled away and melted into clean
metal for new Spitfires and Hurri-
canes.
The metal used by the Germans
in the construction of airplanes is
first grade, said one government
technician who was examining the
charred remains of a Junkers.
It's the extra equipment which
the Germans pay little attention
to; the refinements of construction
which can mean victory or defeat
in the air.
Over in the engine pen one
workman, swearing loudly while
trying to figure the salvage posi-
bilities of a fire-scarred engine
had his own opinion about Ger
man planes and engines.
Its the reek of them that
makes one swear" he said. THE
sulphurous smell which comes
from the vegetable oil they burn
makes one sick to his stomach
l walked with him around the
debris, stopping to examine diff
ferent sections.
He showed me the broken tails
of Messerschmitts, the half-de-
molished cockpit of a Junkers rid
died with bullet holes, for in aerial
warfare today it's the cockpit
which draws the fire, the top hall
of a Heinkel, the wheel-huh of a
Dornier.
In one heap, rapidly nearing the
12-foot mark, there was nothing
but piping and tubing.
There's enough good material
in this lot to make plenty of new
airplanes for England" the work
man told me. They're piling ur
fast now. If the boys 60 on shoot
ing them down We'll have to put
on more help to take car of the
overflow"

DEFENDANTS IN
 LIBEL FAVORED

Putnam, Conn, Feb. 21.-(UP)-A decision of Superior Court Judge Arthur F. ELS today favored the de- fendants in libel suit brought by former Thompson Schools Superin- tendent Melden E. Smith against five members of the school board who voted for his dismissal.
 Smith claimed his professional reputation was harmed in a letter which the board sent to the state commissioner of education in which the scho 1 head was accused ot making unauthorized purchases misrepresenting his capabilities and complaining untruthfully about teachers.
 Judge Els found that "the com- plete investigation made for the purpose of the trial stamps the statements as unfortunately and mistakenly made.
 "The tenure of office of super intendent of schools is often pre- carious. If he introduces modern methods, a faction of the board is apt to oppose him. If he does not, another faction of the board is often against him. He most always Is open to charges of extravagance."
 While asserting Smith "unneceS- sariiy antagonized a majority of the board" Judge Els said there was an unfortunate difference of opinion" and "the manner of the plaintiffs going tis regrettable be- cause 1t is unfortunate than so able a superintendent should be hamper ed in securing a new position"

THREE WITNESSES
 TO BE ARRESTED
Ordered Today By City
 Court Prosecutor; ; Failed to Appear

Three witnesses were ordered .ar- rested yes. erday by Prosecuting At torney Michael J. Galullo when they failed to appear under subpoena to testify in theft case in city court today.
 The accused, Verna Chernoff, A, 37 Vine sreet, arrested February Il on charges of stealing a $350 fur coat at a Russian wedding, was given the benefit os the doubt and discharged by Judge John L. Gaffney. Her counsel, Attorney Stephen Honlick, based his defense on the premise that Mrs. Chernoff ate and drank too much during the Russian fes- tivities, and walked out with the wrong coat.
 Claiming that all witnesses must under all circumstances observe the orders of the court, Galullo issued capias for the following absentees: Lydia Lukowski. 474 North Main street: Stella Titor, 162 Bishop street; and Pauline Baborick, 116 Locus. street. They will be arraigned in court tomorrow.
 Miss Lukowski is the complaining witness in the case. Last week she stated she wished to drop charges against Mrs. Chernoff, but Judge Theobald E. Conway said the charge was too serious to be dropped.
 When she failed to appear today. Galullo immediately asked for a capias, and engaged in lively arr gument with Attorney A. Henry Weisman, while the capias was be- ing made out by Clerk Albert Bron- sky.

LONG MACHINE
 IS DRIVEN OUT
incomplete Returns Show Sam Jones Is Safely
 Ahead in Primary

New Orleans, La., Feb. 21. (UP)- Primary returns showed today that Louisiana had chosen Sam Houston Jones, political newcomer, for gov- ernor and had driven from power the scandal-riddled machine found- ed 12 years ago by the assassinated Huey P. Long.
 With deluge of votes from the rural parishes that elected Huey Long governor in 1928 and let him convert the state into tightly-con- trolled dictatorship on his promise to "share-our-w wealth" Jones defeated Gov. Earl K. Long, the "Kingf1sh's" younger brother and political heir, in a runoff primary.
 They competed for the Democra- tic gubernatorial nomination, equiv- alent to election in Louisiana.
 Unofficial returns from 1,501 ot 1,703 precincts gave Jones 255, ,73s votes; Long 236,42s
 The victory for Jones, who had promised to drive the rascals out of off1ce," was credited to resent ment, especially among country peo- pie, against the scandalouS condi- tionS exposed by federal inveStiga- tors in the state.
 Of the four ranking political lead- CTS who seized power after Longs death, saying they would perpetuate his wealth sharing" program, three have been indicted and two con- victed of violating federal laws in cidental to frauds in state funds and properties.
 Jones lead slowly increased after midnight as the country returns came in. Even the strongholds of the Long machine, including St. Bernard parish below New Orleans, a district of gambling colonies and muskrat trapping settlements, failed to supply the Long faction with their customary overwhelming elec- tion day tribute.
 A Louisiana governor yields ex- traordinary powers under some of the dictatorial laws invoked by Huey Long and still in force. With Jones in that office, the machine would be smashed. His announced ambi-

Blizzards Sweep Over
 Finland Halting Troops
Films Get Answer to Prayers for Late Winter Storm
 All Fronts Showed InLater Thaws Hope of Films Y to Hold Back Fresh Red Attacks
BY HUBERT UEXKUELL United Press Staff Correspondent

A
 Helsinki, Finland, Feb. 21-(UP)- A blinding blizzard, "Finland's win ter ally" swept all Finland during the night and threatened today to immobilize transport on all fronts including the embattled Manner helm line.
 Such storm had been expected at the end of the recent wave of ex- treme cold. Films had hoped and prayed for it and last night it came. Reports from all over the coun- try said heavy snows, swept by ter rife winds, were prevalent and weeks.
 All air activity had been halted already, reports said.
 If this proved to be the normal late winter blizzard, Films said, ii should tie up operations not only on the north and central fronts but in the Isthmus, begging all trans port under heavy snow.
 Then, the Films said, there should be the thaw. which also would help them to hold off the Russian at- tackS.
 GA United Press dispatch from Bergen, Norway, reported that hea- wy snow storms prevented military movements on the Petsamo front, in the far north of Finland. Copen- hagen reported Russian mechanized units immobilized by the blizzard on the central front.)
 Reports of the blizzard came as a Finnish army spokesman denied Russian claims to the capture of Koivisto, anchor of the Finnish right wing in the Mannerheim de- fense line.
 A headquarters spokesman said that the Koivisto anchor, on the right, and the Taipale anchor to Lake Ladoga on the left had proved to be among the foremost obstacles to the big Russian offensive. They worked as breakwaters, he said, when there was tendency for the interior part of the Finnish line to give. Big gun batteries at the right and left ends of the line have blast ed the Russian attacking ranks, it was said.
 There were two brief air raid alarms here this morning before the storm stopped all flying.
 Yesterday there were seven air alarms, though no planes were seen

Connecticut Court History Made Here Today in
 Cavanaugh Case

Court history was made in the
 Waterbury superior court today.
 Following procedure unprecedent-
 ed in the history of Connecticut
 courts the trial of Miss Mary Cayanaugh will be resumed in the local court before an. eleven-man
 jury on Friday morning at 10
 o'clock.
 The request for the continuance of the trial with eleven jurors came from Miss Cavanaugh herself
 When court convened this morn. ing Judge McEvoy stated that he would hear Atty. Miles F. McNifi and Atty. Maurice P. Wrenn, Miss Cavanaugh's attorneys, on a special matter.
 There was to be no session of the Cavanaugh case today, the jurors in the case having been notified by court officials yesterday not to report until further notice." The reason for this was that Omar Nickerson of Seymour had reported yesterday that he was ill and una ble to attend court yesterday. Judge McEvoy told the jurors present yeS- terday that he would notify them as to today's session and notice was sent the jurors late yesterday after noon that there would be no ses- sion today.
 This was on the receipt of news that Juror Nickerson is seriously ill His physicians reported that he would be unable to attend court for a long while.
 This meant that there would have to be long postponement of the trial or the declaration of a mistrial

Naugatuck's popular fire chief, J. Milton Calvin of IS Bradley street, 32 years of age, believed to have been the youngest fire chief in New England, died shortly after noon to- day at St. Mary's hospital where he had been patient the past two weeks.
 Chief Calvin, a resident of Nau- gatuck all his life, underwent an emergency operation last Friday and had been holding his own until ear- ly this morning when his condition took turn for the worse. It is believed that pneumonia developed.
 Funeral arrangements are incom- plete.
 Worked In Waterbury
 Chief Calvin was taken to the hospital less than two weeks ago, for an operation. His condition was not thought serious at that time and after the operation he contin- ued to improve, but later became decidedly verse and although an emergency operation was perform ed his condition improved some what temporarily.
