(Ccntinued from Page D Tobin and Atty. Lawlor and Mrs. Guarino.
 The woman testified that her hus- band slapped her in the face, threat ened her and that she was afraid to walk along the street alone. She also told of his violent temper.
 Doctor Testifies
 Dr. c. H. Brown, put on the stand by Atty. Lawlor, testified that the woman was extremely nervous, when he examined her last August and had marks on her body and a mark on her arm where Mrs. Guarino claimed her husband had bitten her.
 At any rate the conclusion of the case was reached about 11:3O and then the real battle started.
 The contestants evidently figured that once they got "out of the courtroom" it was all right to fight and the battle was on. It didn't take many words to start the activi- ties for the contestants had "come out fighting" In other words 1t was just case of one word leading to the "other" and-pop-Guarino let a roundhouse right" go, which landed on the nose of the uncle of his wife, MT. Latanzio. The blood flew in all directions, according to the description of the fight and so did the uncle.
 Break Up Battle
 Attorneys Tobin and Lawlor and deputy sheriffs rushed in and broke up the battle and Sheriffs O'Leary and Brickel, collared Guarino and rushed him over to the police sta- tion where the breach of peace charge was filed. The trip to the police station was not any too quiet either for the deputy sheriffs, it is said, for Guarino had not quite "quieted down. They did the "best" they could, however to quieten him.
 In the meantime while all this was going on, it was discovered that the husbands mother, Concetta Guarino of 63 Ward street, had tainted. She is subject to high blood pressure, it was said and it was feared she was suffering from cerebral hemmorhage. She was rushed in an ambulance to the Wa terbury hospital.
 Judge Frank P. McEvoy at the completion of the evidence in the divorce case just prior to the fisti- cuffs, etc., reserved decision in the case.
 At 1:45 o'clock this afternoon Waterbury hospital authorities had placed the name of Mrs. Guarino on the danger list.

STAMFORD PROBE
 INTERESTS CITY

\OOIlLlIlueQ lTOIl rage U officials were served by state police Campbell was arrested last montl accused of issuing fraudulen checks to the amount of $9,335.
 Judge Foster in addressing tn grand jury said in part:
 "It has been brought to the att tention of the court by the states attorney that there is some one or more public officers and some one or more of the citizens of the town and city of Stamford have caused pubic monies of the town and city of Stamford to be mis- spent to their own individual en- richment, and to the enrichment of individual firms and corpora tions not resident of such town and city.
 Ordinarily such matters are presented to the court by the states attorney upon informa- tion. The states attorney is limited in his power to secure evidence and in his power to pre- vail upon persons having knowl- edge of wrongdoings to reveal such knowledge. There are situa- tions where communities feel that wrong has been done and that crimes have been committed and that such wrongdoings and crimes should be prosecuted.
 under such circumstances where he has exhausted his own statutory powers, the states att torney may very properly present such situation to the court and ask for the aid of a grand jury whose powers in the matter of subpoena and examination of witt nesSes under oath are broader and more extensive than those given by the law to the one man, the states attorney. The states att torney has represented to the court that such a situation exists.
 "The court lays these matters before you and directs that you make thorough investigation of the same. In such an investiga- tion, no one person is charged with specific crime. Your duty in such an investigation is of broader scope than where a specific person is charged with 8 specific crime. It may well be that the the beginnings of such an investigation, the states attor- ney has no knowledge of a speci- fic crime; has no knowledge that a specific man has committed any crime.
 "Your duty in such investiga- tion is to examine all the evidence presented to you and all the evidence you can obtain in any way, using your personal knowl- edge if any you have, and deter mine whether there is possible cause to believe that a crime has been committed which is cogniz- able by this court and who there is probably cause to believe com- mitted such crime. If after mak- ing such investigation you believe there is probable cause for the indictment of any man for any crime you should promptly come into court and present such in- dictment to the court without waiting to hear evidence as to any other crime or any other man."

 "In the last three years, labor has not been given representation in the cabinet, nor in the administrative or policy agencies of govern ment," Lewis said in prepared statement which he read slowly to the convention.
 "The current administration has not sought nor seriously entertained the advices or veiws of labor upon the question of national unemploy. ment or lesser questions affecting domestic economy, internal taxation, foreign trade, military and naval expansion, relations with foreign na- lions, or issues of war or peace" Lewis said.
 Tabor today has no point of con- tact with the Democratic admins tration in power, except for casual and occasional interviews which are granted its individual leaders. In the Congress, the unrestrained batting and defaming of labor by the Demo- cratic majority have become a pas time, never subject to rebuke by the Gtular or actual leaders in the party"

JURY HOLDS UP
 ON MURDER PROBE

Bridgeport, Conn, Jan. 24-(UP) Grand Jury consideration of a murder charge against Miss Sophie Baehr, Norwalk divorcee accused of staying Ruben Robins, son of for mer Norwalk mayor, after a New Years Eve party, was delayed today as result of it's inquiry into munich pal spending at Stamford.
 The case was put over until the Stamford investigation was conclud- ed, probably in two weeks.
 Miss Baehr said Robins was shot as he tried to prevent her from committing suicide.
 Judge Carl Foster told the jury that in such case, even though the shooting be accidental, "the ele- ment of malice would be present. Where homicide is committed with malice, such homicide is murder

 UPSET EUROPE

yesterday by Gen. J. B. M. Hertzog, former prime minister and now op- position leader, that the time had come to make peace with Germany. In speech on his motion, he strongly defended Adolf Hitler. As regards Rumania the govern ment was understood to have ex- pressed keen dissatisfaction to Ru- mania because of difficulties being met in getting licenses from the Rumanian government for the ex- port of Rumanian oil to Britain. It was suspected here that Germany had put pressure on Rumania to withhold the oil, insisting that if Rumania sent oil to Britain its neutrality would be compromised.
 Rumania had obligated herself to provide Germany about 150,000 tons of oil a month, and to make up ar- rears under a 1889 contract up to a total supply of 190,0O0 tons month. But delivery was almost at stand- still because the Danube River was frozen, Germany was blockaded by sea and the railroad from Rumania to Germany via RuSsian-occupied Poland, was not working efficient ly.
 Sharp protests from the United States, against detention of ships, and from Japan, against the seizure of the German Seamen, arrived here almost simultaneously.
 As regards the United States, the government was expected to take substantially the stand which 1t took last week in rejecting an American protest against mail cen- SorShip.
 British newspaper correspondents in the United States, at first in- clined to discount the importance of American neutrality protests, now gave such warnings as that in a news chronicle New York dispatch that there is real and growing feeling of irritation throughout the United States at Britain's high handed methods of prosecuting ec- onomic war and interfering. with United States mails and shipping"
 As regards Japan, the government was prepared to cite precedentS in the World War and the present war, including the seizure by Germany of BritonS and Poles from neutral ships during the last few weeks.
 Winston Churchilrs speech was praised warmly here at first as a needed, if bitter tasting pill for Eu- ropean neutrals. But European neu- tral reaction had been so strong against it that the newspapers be- gan intimating that it might have been better put.
 The feeling remained, however, that in his essential argument, Churchill was right.
 Newspapers naturally were criti- cal of Gen. Hertzog's speech in the South African parliament. The Daily Mail called the speech "an amaz. ingly dishonorable performance"
 Finally there was the Russiar- Finnish war and Allied relations with Russia. Russia is increasingly regarded here as a potential enemy. Sir William Seeds, Ambassador to Moscow, is now here, and iIi the

cause of their union connections would, in effect, permit blacklist ing of all union members seeking employment and, therefore, would be clear violation of the act.
 The order required the company to cease discouraging membership in the United Textile Workers of America by discriminating in re- gard to the hiring of applicants for employment"
 The boards petition contended that the hearing produced ::over- whelming proof of unlawful discrim- nation" against the two men, whom it described as experienced and capable" of performing the work which they sought.
 Wanted No Union Men
 Chartier testified at the board hearing that mill superintendent, Zophi questioned him and Geoffrion as to their union utilization when they applied for jobs. He said he told zopfi they had previously been, but were no longer members. He quoted zopfi as replying: we don't want no union and we don't want no trouble"
 The board said Zopfi admitted that "part of the consideration" leading to his denial of employment to Chartier and Geoffrion was their labor union record, which caused him to conclude that they were mot very desirable.

 The maneuvers precipitated semi official speculation that the incident might imply:
 1. A warning to Germany and all other European powers that revision of the Netherlands status-quo would not be permitted by the United States to result in change of ownership of the Dutch Indies. 2. Demonstration that the United

 GROW YOUR OWN
 MOTOR FUEL
 Write down "chemurgy" as a word you'll hear during the campaign.
 Among the Republican congress sional committees which are seek ing data on which the party will base its farm policy, is one headed by Congressman Roy Woodruff of Michigan which has been looking into the natter of using in indus try materials produced on the farm-chemurgy, in short. This committee has heard a dozen tech- nicians, and Woodruff is enthusi- aStic.
 He suggests that if the govern ment would put a tariff on divers fats and oils which American farmers could grow but don't, and if the government would contrib ute everything possible in the way of scientific research, and would encourage the use of alcohol as an automotive fuel, a tremendous new market would be opened for the farmer.
 ITO say that we could in this way use the products of 100 mil lion acres is mighty conservative, he says. We couldn't do it all at once, of course; but in the im- mediate future we could at least offset the 40 million acres the ad- ministration is trying to take out of production, if we could put the power of government and induds- try behind the idea"

 At present, no woman who mar ried 8 Civil War vet after 1905 may draw a pension. This bill would make any veterans widow eligible if she married the veteran 10 years prior to his death, and lived with him during those years. It is estimated the annual cost would be around $2,O0O,000.
