ed the practiced grace of nearly every name in the dance for half a century, from ISadora Duncan down to the present lessor: the sup- pie, Eurasian master, Yeichi Nimura.
 Here there is music, for which Carnegie Hall is far best known. Studios on every floor echo with les sons, ranged from drum to organ the latter taught by Pietro Ton, among the worlds best-known or- ganists.
 Here, in Carnegie Hall, every race mixes with every art. Perhaps Paul Swan, sculptor, painter, actor, mime danseur, best speaks for this Bohe- mia, from which he seldom moves by day or night.
 Clad in black silk pajamas, edged in pink, he spoke "on stage"
 in the miniature theater he built
 into his studio home. He also
 sleeps "on stage" in order "t0 es-
 cape the worlds harsh realities"
 Why do live and work here?" MT. Swan asked breathlessly. Why? Because this is perhaps the only place in America that one can be ones self. There is quality, not quantity, to art here. It's it's positively European"

 New York, Dec. 11.-BohemiA- seeking visitors to Manhattan have long since passed up once arty Greenwich Village. Bohemia doesn't live there any more. It has moved uptown to, perhaps the last menage of the muses in America-Ca Carnegia Hall.
 Carnegie Hall isn't ''hall" at all. Under the roofs of its eight separate buildings, in its 155 stu dios, more than 700 practitioners and teachers of the fine arts live and work.
 This season Carnegie Hall be- gins celebrating its golden anni- versary-the fiftieth season since maestro Walter Damrosch per- suaded steelmaster Andrew Car negie to lay out $2,OOO,O00 for a music center,
 - There is almost nothing that can't be bought or taught in this city within a city. Among the sta- pies for sale in Carnegie Halls halls are: drugs and foreign languages; facialS and music lessons; laundry and ballet dancing.
 Come now, step lively, for crOss-sectiOn tour of Bohemia.

JUDGE M'EvOY'S ! RULING UPHELD
Supreme Court Of Errors Decision Returned In
 DeMunda Case

Superior Court Judge Frank P! McEvoy, of Waterbury, yesterday was upheld by the Supreme Court of Errors in his decision awarding damages to Marie and Celestino De- Munda against Clifford Loomis, all of Watertown. Judge McEvoy had awarded Marie DeMunda $1 ,599 and Ceiestino $501 in a judgment Feb- ruary 6, which was subsequently ap- pealed by Atty. Michael ". Blans- field.
 The. action was based on a four car collision in Watertown in which the DeMunda auto, driven by Celes- tino, coIlided with a car operated by Robert Fenn, of WatertoWn. Ac- cording to testimony Fenn's auto was in a line of traffic headed by the Loomis car, which stopped abruptly, thereby forcing Fenn into the collision with. DeMunda's car, which was opposite bound.
 Judge McEvoy held Loonis lia- ble, although his car was not ac- tually involved in the collision.
 The supreme court opinion, writ ten by Justice Jennings, stated that the recital of the facts of the case disclosed no break in the chain of causation as to render unreasonable the conclusion that the negligence of the defendant was a substantial factor in causing the plaintiffs in- juries.
 The DeMundas were represented by Atty. Stephen Homick.
 The supreme court found an er- TOT in case tried before Judge Ernest c. Simpson in Litchheld county superior court which involved supplemental award made to AL bert Morgan by Compensation Com missioner James M. Lynch, of this city. John Adams and others, de- fendants in the action, appealed to the superior court where they were sustained and the award set aside. The plaintiff then appealed to the supreme court. Tn noting the error, the supreme court ordered the case remanded to the lower court with instructions.

 Incidentally, it's a good thing for the Democrat that Wendell Willkie didn't know about the Sonovox. With this device and a recording of a Roosevelt speech, he could have saved his own voice and made his addresses with the identical, compelling romance of his opponent.

 !. It was dediced, for instance, that s"Tin Pan Alley" was guilty of Indecent exposure in some of the harem scenes and the verdict was sustained by the eastern board when the studio appealed. So few of the scenes were cut out, al- though the chorus girls costumes weren't changed.
 Metro has been having bathtub trouble, not only with Lana Tur- ,ner in "ziegfeld Girl" but with Bob Taylor in Flight Command" and Clark Gable in "Comrade X" I don't know what's so offensive about a man taking a bath, but there always has been trouble about this partial-immerSion shots. In as innocuous a picture as Wee Willie Winkie", they chopped out Victor McLaglen's rain-barrel ablu- tions. Stranger yet was the killing of an entire comedy sequence in which Joe E.

Americas Protest
On Nazi Invasion
Issued by Panama
Charges Ruthless Breach
Of Victims Neutrality
And Sovereignty

The text Of the declaration In
which the United States Joined 20
other American republics in pro-
testing Germany's invasion of Bel
GUM, Holland and Luxembourg as
a ruthless violation" of neutrality
and sovereignty, was made public
yesterday by President Augusta S.
Boyd of Panama, whose government
acts as clearing house for Pam
American neutrality matters.
Uruguay proposed the joint decla-
ration of the Americas attitude
toward the NaZi attack on the Low
Countries, invoking a resolution un-
der which the American republics
pledged themselves last fall to pro-
test "any warlike act which does
not conform to international law
and the dictates of justice"
The United States promptly
agreed last Monday to Uruguay's
proposal, and other American ma.
tions fell in line during the week.
Lie tcAI lOllOWS.
THE American countries, in ac-
cordance with the principles of in
ternational law and in application
OF the resolutions adopted by them
In their continental conferences,
consider as unjustifiable and cruel
the violation by Germany of the
neutrality and sovereignty of Bel
gium, Holland and Luxembourg.
In the fourth and fifth articles
of the declaration (on maintenance
OF international activities within the
bounds of Christian morals) of the
consultative reunion held in Panama
in 1899, it was established that the
violation of the neutrality or the
invasion of weak peoples as an ex-
pedient for the prosecution of and
the triumph in wars justified the
protest of the American nations
against the violation of interna-
tional law and the demands Of
justice.
Therefore the American countries
resolve to protest against the mill
tary attacks against Belgium, Hol-
land and Luxembourg, at the same
time issuing an appeal for the re-
establishment of law and justice in
the relations between peoples"
