 The huge liner, 1t was believed, was unarmed when she left the harbor. British circles said Amer ican laws prohibited placement of guns while she was in port. There was speculation, however, that she might receive anti-aircraft and anti submarine guns somewhere at sea from another vessel.
 The British liner Lancastria was said to be waiting outside the har- Dor, after a dash across the Atlantic, for the Queen Mary to clear in order to take her place at the Hud- son river pier.

pr. Yabovitz and Lawrence Eos

pr. Yabovitz and Lawrence Eos dick indicates that Forino may have been under the influence of alcohol at the time of the accident.
 Forino has testified that the steering apparatus of the car he was driving was not in proper condition and that he was aware of this fact for considerable time before February 5. It is not evi- dent from the testimony taken whether this was in fact so, and the establishment of that fact would not lessen but would tend to increase the degree of negli- gence on the part of Forino.
 T find that Painter brought his mootr vehicle almost to stand still on the westerly side of the center line of the highway before the collision occurred, and that Forino, driving his car at an eX- cessive rate of speed and reck- lessly and without regard to the safety of others on the highway. collided with Painters car and caused the death of Elizabeth Painter.
 I find that said death was caused by the gross and criminal negli- gence of said Dominick Forino.

 Crossing the outer harbor. she was blacked out completely and lost to view in the night, her destination and purpose mystery.
 Neither the Cunard White Star Line nor other British sources would discuss any ship departures but it was believed the Mauretania and the Queen Mary had sailed under sealed orders down under" possibly to Sydney, Australia.
 May Go To Canada
 The Queen Mary, it was said, might go first to Canada to have guns installed. She could not have this work done in the United States under the neutrality law.
 The Queen Mary is too big to go LITOuBIl LIlC EdIldLlla NdAloA oAAA would have to go either around Cape Horn or the Cape of Good Hope to reach Sydney, distance of approximately 13,600 miles either way. She would have to refuel on the way. She carried about 5000 tons of oil on an Atlantic crossing and used all but about 800 tons of that amount on one-Way run.
 It was doubted that either ship would be risked in the European war zone, as they are large targets for German airplanes, although their speed would provide a good measure Of protection against sub marines. It was not believed that either would be risked on an Atlan- tic crossing without Warship escort, although there were no reports of any British warships in this vicinity to take over a convoy. A Coast Guard patrol boat and several police boats escorted the Mauretania out of the New York harbor.

 Speed Up Formation
 Every effort was made to speed up formation of the ministry so that essential war work would not be im- peded and the German NaZi propa- ganda machine would not be given the opportunity to exploit the fall of the ministry of Edouard Daladier which resigned yesterday after a technical vote of mLsconfidence re- garded as largely a rebuke for its failure to prosecute the war with more vigor.
 No such reproach, it. was forecast would be offered to Reynaud if he took the prime ministry. Regarded as the strong man behind the scenes of the Daladier cabinet, in which he was minister for finance and na- tional economy, Reynaud, bitter critic of the Munich conference, bit ter foe of Nazism, was known to have favored an uncompromiSing attitude toward the Nazis in the war
 Carry to Nazis
 Hence it was forecast that any ministry he might form would be pledged to taking the war to Ger many, when and as the opportunity offered.
 Political quarters forecast that Reynaud would make the radica Socialist party the nubleus of his cobinet, with the collaboration oi parties nearer the center. He is o1 the left Republican and radical h. dependent group.

The two cars collided a short distance north of curve in said road and a short distance south of the Southern New England Telephone company pole No. 250.
 The two cars collided violently, each striking the left front portion of the other. Elizabeth Painter suffered fracture of the base of the skull which caused her death within a few minutes.
 MT. Painter was driving south from Waterbury at rate of speed of about thirty-fiVe miles an hour along that portion of route 8 be- fore mentioned, which is straight stretch of paved road tWenty-tWo eet wide, with four foot shoulder on the westerly side and 8 guide rail, seven foo tpaved shoulder on the easterly side and a six foot dirt shoulder east of said hard shoulder, making shoulder of thirteen fet on the easterly side. Painter continued along this straight stretch of road to point about one hundred feet north of a westerly curve in the road con- tinuing to the right of painted line denoting the center line of the road at that point.
 Forino, in whose car Gene Viola was a passenger, sitting in the right front seat, drove northward at an excessive rate of speed around said curve to the south of the point of the collision, failed to negotiate this curve. which was left-hand turn in the direction he was proceeding, swung to his right on to the easterly shoulder of the road. turned again to the left and continued approximately one hundred and ten feet diagon ally across the road 10 the point of collision with Painters car.
 At the point of collision Painter car was to the west of the center line of the road and Forino's car had crossed entirely to the west of the center line of the road.
 The testimony of persons who had seen Forino driving prior to and at the time of the collision is to the effect that he was driving at an excessive rate of speed and that on two occasions within q short while before the collision had endangered other cars by the reckless manner in which he guided his car and by driving at such an excessive rate of speed Tn addition there are indications in the testimony of Gene Viola Anthony Dilorio. as well as ForinC himself, that Forino had taker some alcoholic beverage on the day of the accident.

 "Coster was pretty mad" Dietrich said, "When he learned that Phillips was to get percentage of everything Supernant collected"
 Suit Settled
 He said the suit finally was set tied but that he didn't know the amount involved. Howard Corbin, Phillips attorney, suggested the figure $55 1000, but the witness could not verify it.
 Suprenant, Dietrich said, was the person who suggested the forma- tion of Manning & Company, a dummy bank, to aid in falsifying the Voluminous "sales" of the com pany's bogus crude drug department in which most of the cheating was done.

Sink 3 Warships

Berlin, March 21. - (UP) - Ger man airplanes, in an attack on 8 British convoy protected by cruis- CTS, destroyers, airplanes and ar armed merchantmen, sank nine war ships and merchantmen totaling about 1000 tons, the high com mand asserted today.
 The attack, "A hours after the British raid on Sylt Island, took place toward evening" yesterday off Scapa Flow. British fleet base in the Orkney Islands above Scot land, the night commany asserted
 One of the attacking German planes is missing, it was said, and one British plane was doWned.
 It was now established, the high command said, that three British planes were destroyed in the Sylt raid.
 Swift Retaliation
 News of the swift Nazi retaliation for the British attack on the Sylt Island airplane base which had been in retaliation for the Scapa Flow raid came as political quarters watched the French cabinet situa- tion and said that the selection of Paul Reynaud or any other man to lead 1t would not alter the war pie ture fundamentally.
 Reynaud, however, was regarded as one of Germany's bitterest ene- mics among French leaders. The newspaper National Zeitung Of Essen, organ of Field Marshal Her mann coering. called him Frances counterpart of Winston Churchill, First Lord of the British Admiralty, who is ergarded as the arch-enemy of Nazism.
