The court said if the General As- sembly intended to make exceptions it would have done SO. Since 1923 however, the decision added, the legislature has refused to make any exceptions in the use of contracep- tive devices.
 Any intention on the part of the legislature to allow such an exemp- tion as would advantage the pres- ent defendants is negatived not only by the absolute language used orig inally and preserved ever since but also, signally, by it's repeated and recent refusals to inject an excep- tion," the court continued.

 Supreme Court Opinion
 Supreme Court Justice Hinman, who wrote the companion decisions which were unanimously concurred with by his associate justices said at the start of his decision in the cases of the local doctors and nurse.
 'The allegations of the amended informations in the cases of the defendants Nelson and Goodrich are substantially identical.

 Guided first by bright moon and then by tie light of fires they had started. the British planes flew more than 800 miles across the North Sea in almost continuous waves, then tlew signly over the island from which German planes take off to harry the British coast, dropped their bombs, and returned to home airports.
 The first air ministry communi- que after the cessation of the raids came ato 3 a. m. @ a. m. EST). It said.
 Attacks made, on Hornum last night were spread over a period of about seven hours. All aircraft re- turned safely except one which is Soverdu9 and must be presumed lost. Information now available shows Sthat the damage reported earlier is most extensive and includes direct Units on slipways and hangarS."
 IrOnic Part of It
 Ironically, the greater part of the sraid was effected while Under Sec- retary Sumner Welles, whose tour of Europe caused so many peace ru- 1nors, en route from Rome to Gen. ot, was to board a liner for New York and report to President Roose- welt on the prospects for peace. s Britain had retaliated for the German rait on the Scapa Flow naval base Saturday night-retal- 7iated with interest so usurious- from the British viewpoint-as to mark departure in war policy. But the question was already being asked, here and the hope expressed Ahy some, that the government would not be content with mere super reprisals but take the war actively to Germany.
 2 First descriptive news of the raid had. reached London late last night from Danish points, reporting gi- gantic explosions on the Island, 9 ~mileS long and so narrow that its < area is only 27 square miles, which lies 15 miles off the Prussian and Danish coasts and is the big air base for Germany's Helgoland naval ebase.
 Air ministry communiques show ed that the town of Hornum on the s1sland, from which 1t was under stood all civilians had been evacuat- e. three months ago, was the chief target of the raid. Hornum is at the sSouth end of the island. Danish re- sports were that the towns of Ran Yum and List also were struck and sthat at Rantum terrific explosion and flames indicated that a muni- ttions dump had been struck.

Hern of Raid

4 nEEO DA AS8AW
 London, March 20-(UP)-Air Chief Marshal Sir Edgar Ludlow Hewitt, commander in chief of the Royal Air force bomber command, planned the British airplane raid on Sylt, it was disclosed today.
 He had previously planned Royal air attacks on the German naval bases at Kiel and Wilhemshaven and successful reconnaissance flights over Germany, Austria, Bo- hemia and Poland.
 A hero in the World War, he won the distinguished service order and military cross and was cited six times in dispatches for gallantry. In one citation he was called "one of the bravest and finest pilots we have." He qualified as a pilot in August 1914 and served four years in France.
 Tall, thin, clean shaven, he is an outdoor" man of athletic type. He is 54.
 Denmark Reports It
 Toender, Denmark, March 20 - (UP)-Two British airplanes streak ed across Germany's seaplane-base on the island of Sylt at a. m. to- day, 2h hours after the official end of . night long raid.
 Three or four explosions were heard in mid-island and were talk en to have been the result of bombs dropped by the planes.
 Gondon reported, however, that it was understood the planes flew over the island to photograph dam age done during the raid, which would indicate that the detonations might have been from anti-aircraft gunS)
 The planes escaped westward, pursued by a swarm of German fighter planes.
 It was estimated that more than 100 bombs were dropped during the night long raid of British planes.
 The first explosions sent people to the coast here and on the Danish Island of Roemoe, north of Sylt, to watch flames from bombs, anti-air- craft gun shells and rockets.
 Soon after 8:30 D. m. flames shot high after several bombs struck, and then series of terrific explo- sions indicated that a munitions dump might have been hit. Inter- mitent bomb explosions were heard through the evening and early morning.
 British Plane Down
 A British plane was seen to crash in flames north of the tip of Sylt Island about 11:40 p. m., after drop ping one bomb on List. The plane had circled Roemoe Island, then gone to List to be caught by anti aircraft guns.
 The planes kept on coming, drop- ping bombs. At 2:O5 a. m. two bombs exploded at Rantum, on the island, and big column of smoke and flame was taken to mean that a rnunition dump had been struck there.
 A plane coming in from the south dropped bombs on Hornum at about 2:30 a. m. It was estimated that at that time 108 bombs had been dropped. .--

 The town convention members were elected at the Democratic primary last October. The conven- ton nominated candidates for town office, then adjourned to meet again on call of Chairman Mascolo.
 A meeting was expected early this year but none was held. Judge Mascolo claimed he was unable to secure copy of the party rules. Before he left for Florida several weeks ago, he said he would issue the convention call on his return. He returned Monday and has been giving the situation a great deal of his attention since that time.

 Esbjers, to the north on the Dan- ish coast, reported that two uniden- tified planes dropped & few incen- diary bombs on Holmsland Kilt, on the Danish coast, at 12:30 a. m. and that five minutes later two bombs, believed explosive, dropped at Soen- der Lyndvig Bay, near Hvide Sande north of Esbjerg.

 bins, Ltd, the Canadian affiliate whichthefgoot etaoi etaoin uullupp was set up to siphon off assets of the parent firm, Dietrich testified. But when balance sheets and statements had to be made up from the false figures on the Canadian companys books, the task was turned over to Coster's assistants, Dietrich said.
 Dietrich admitted that he helped Coster to keep the firms auditors, Price, Warehouse and Company, from becoming suspicious of the crude drug department. He said he gove the auditors whatever in- formation was necessary to make the records appear legitimate.
 Dietrich was asked, in connection with tax investigation in 1897, if he, Coster and William Etter- shank, an auditor, were not "The only ones who ever talked with the investigators"
 q don't recall" the witness said. "It's my impression that McGloon was in the picture"
 He admitted he was certain but denied the suggestion that he was trying to make 1t harder for Mo- G1oon."
 The government awaited comple- tion of Dietrich's croes-examination to present two Connecticut finan- ciers as witnesses. They were Nor- man J. Gaynor, son of the late Will liam Gaynor, one-time mayor of New York, and president of the Bridgeport City Company = which figured in Coster's financial deal- ings, and Daniel J. Morgan, mana ger of T. L. Watson and Company of Bridgeport.

The motion carried, 239 to 1,ywith 3l1 deputies sustaining. The crisis had been brewing foe weeks. with widespread demands that Daladier put some force int, the war, some strong, uncompromis- ing men in his cabinet, and take the initiative away from Germany and Russia. , The ministers renamed with Le- brun 25 minutes. He thanked them for. their cooperation and they left, Da1adier returning to the war of- flee, He had been war minister and foreign minister as well as pre- mier. His government continues to function until a new once is con- stituted.
 Lebrun immediately began con- SultationS on Q new government. Jules Jeanneney, president of the Senate. was first to confer wlsh him.
 Daladier had been planning u reorganiZe his cabinet today in re- sponSe to deputies demands that he include some strong men in it and relinquish one or two of his own jobs. The resignations upset luis plan of reorganization, but it was believed that Lebrun would invite him to form a new cabinet. In that event, Daladier would be obliged to negotiate fresh support from the leaders of the principal parties to obt~,-, majority votes of confidence in chamber.
 In the cal morning chamber session the absLainers had included thehentire Socialist party; most of Louis Marin's right-wing federal Republicans. and half sI Pierre Flandfn,S Alliance Democratic.
 In Secret Session
 The chamber had been in secret session throughout the day and night during which Dalatiier had made an hour and half sceech. It was known that at least IS deputies had asked him whether he intend- ed to take the initiative in the war and prevent a repetition of the Fin- nish affair; what his views were on Rlissia's cooperation with Germany; why he did not get some strong men into his cabinet distinguished for action rather than for political affiliations.
 The chief political difficulties sprang from Marin's Conservatives refusal to sit in the same cabinet with Leon Blum,s Socialists. or to support the government when the Socialists contention that since they had 1b5 votes, they were entitled to participate in the government.
 Although 1t was believed that Da- ladier would get first chance at the premiership. he was expected to en- counter difficulty finding c stable majority. This mornings vote had eliminated the possibility of his forming another radical ENciailst cabinet like the last one. aii but two of whose members belonged to that party.

 The judge makes clear in ihs memorandum that he is not setting aside the verdict on the ground that the jury award is excessive and is based solely on the legal point of contribuatory negligence. He also makes t clear that he feels that the element of sympathy for Nichols entered strongly in the decision of the jurrs in Nichols favor.
 The jury deliberated six hours be- fore bringing in its verdict.
 Nichols World War veteran ran a one man garage in Cheshire. He was called upon late in December of 1888 to do tow job on the Cheshire Milldale highway. He war in process of starting the tow job on the highway and was stand ing in the highway when an auto mobile owned by Lloyd T. Williams ST. and driven by his son Lloyd Jr., a Yale student, crashed into the car Nichols was towing driving the car being lowed into the tow car and pinning Nichols beween the cars. Miss Graves was the driver of another car involved in the crash and this was owned by the other defendant Irving Block.
 The accident happened in the midst of heavy snowstorm and the defense claimed that the binding snow was the result of the accident and that Nichols was guilty of con- tributory negligence in standing in. the middle of the highway.

 6441 of the General Statutes, a rule to show cause why they should not be adjudged a nuisance and or- dered destroyed. The Birth Control League. Inc, and the Waterbury Maternal Health Center. admitting ownership of the articles, applied to be and were made parties defendant and filed 8 plea claiming, upon numerous grounds set up therein, that the proceeding be dismissed and the articles returned to them. This was denied and judgment rem dered finding the facts alleged in the complaint to be true and order ing thai the articles be destroyed. from which the defendants appealed to this court.
 The paragraphs of the finding which are attacked are not ma terial to the considerations found determinative of the case, which pertain to the conclusions to the effect that s 6439 of the General Statutes authorizes and empowers the issance of a warrant for search for and seizure of contraceptive devices.
 After reviewing many cases and citing the law involved Justice Him man says in conclusion:
 This conclusion renders it un- necessary to discuss and decide the further contention of the defen. dants that the complaint and war; rant are violative of the provision in of Article First of the Con- stitution of this state that mo war; rart to search any place, or to seize any person or things, shall issue without describing them as nearly as ma be, nor without probable cause supported by oath or affirma- tion," because the complaint did not contain allegations of fact from which, if proven, probable cause could be found, and because it did not allege that the complainant be- lieved and had reason to believe the facts which were alleged but, instead. that he suspected and had cause to suspect that these facts were SO. The numerous other points raised by the defendants in their plea are determined adversely to their claims in State '. Nelson, State v. Goodrich, aEid State v. McTernar, decided concurrently with this case.
