judged in contempt of court and
paroled in the custody of their
counsel early today for refusing to
answer in full questions put to them
at the court martial of Capt. John
T. Prout, jr.
1t was the second time within a
week that the sergeants, who came
here from Fort Mcclellan, Aniston,
Ala, had refused to testify on the
ground that they might incriminate
themselves.
They were paroled pending pos
sible action by the trial judge advo-
cate and the Adjutant General.
Five Hour Session.
They were among several witnesses
who appeared at five-hour session

the two specifications charging
Capt. Prout with giving away 1900
rounds of Government-owned am
munition, valued at about S63, after
the trial judge advocate announced,
the people rest"
Mr.. Callahan asked that argu-
ments on the dismissal motion be
deferred until the record was COM
pleted. This was granted and the
court martial adjourned until 7:30
pm. Monday.
Silent On Bishop.
The sergeants refused to testify
despite Capt. Prout's assurance in
court that anything any witness
said would not incur my disfavor"
and despite the statement of the
president of the court, Col. H. Rus
sell browne, jr., that the Adjutant
General had granted immunity to
both of them.
They declined to say whether
they knew William Gerald Bishop,
leader OF a group once tried on
charges OF conspiring to steal Gov
eminent arms and overthrow the
Government
Capt. Prout, one of IL men tried
with Bishop, was acquitted in Fed

ANKARA, Turkey, Nov. 23.-Sec-
tons of Turkey surrounding the

die the land route from Europe to
the Near East and Africa, were un-
der martial law today because of
"the general political situation"
The Turkish government ordered
commander of gendarmerie. to take
charge of these districts last night
only a short time after German AM
bassador Franz Won Papen returned
from Germany, presumably with a
virtual ultimatum that Turkey af-
filiate with the axis new European

Asked by Istanbul newspapermen
If normal relations between Ger
many and Turkey would continue,
the Ambassador replied: Il have no
declaration of any kind to make"
The Istanbul press reiterated
statements that Turkey, while not
looking for a fight, would fight if it
seemed necessary.
The newspaper Ikdam mentioned
that mo one is able to say that
Russia would accept easily Ger
man attack on Greece, which would
carry German troops toward the
Dardanelles. However, the consent
of Russia would not signify that
Turkey did not mean to defend her
self with all her might"

To make it you beat the yolks of

bring to the table in the end. When
the mixture is hot, gradually add six
ounces of grated Parmesan cheese and
cook, stirring constantly. until the
whole is thick and creamy. Hot rounds
of toast are passed and then the savory
arrives in the double boiler in which it
was cooked, and each person pours
spoonful or two over his toast.

BALDWIN CLAIMS
 FUNDS SOLICITED
Gov. Charges Democrats With Violating Merit
 System Act

Hartford, Conn, oct. 2 - (UPO Governor Baldwin charged today that the Democratic State Central Committee was soliciting campaign funds from state employees In "di- rect defiance of the merit system"
 At least four employees from as many departments, the governor said, showed him letters from the committee in which they were asked to assist the campaign by returning contributions in a self addressed efl- velope to William J. Farley, New Britain, treasurer of the Democratic Committee.
 T consider this 8 direct defiance to the rules announced some time ago which made it a violation of the merit system for a state employe to be solicited or to contribute to a poe litical campaign fund.-" the governor declared.
 He said the rules were adopted fin the interests of the merit system and for the protection of the em- ployes" and T shall expect to see to it that 1t is rigidly enforced"
 In statement, the governor said, T again call attention publicly to the fact that there is rule which has been published throughout all the state departments, and concern ing which the Democratic State Central Committee must certainly be aware, prohibiting campaign contributions to any political cam paign by state employees subject to the merit system.
 "In the campaign two years ago q very definite program was carried on to assess all employees. It was to pre- vent a repetition of that this year by any political party and to fur ther strengthen the merit system that the rule was issued this year."
 The governor said he had been informed that the letter of solicita- tion had been distributed through all of the state departments. Demo- cratic Chairman John T. Mccarthy was charged with authorizing the letter.
 The Democratic Committees Sec- retary J. Walter Darley, said the let ters were not knowingly" sent to the state employees, as it was "difh- cult to sift from the list of poten- I tial contributors those who are dis qualified under the law from mak- ing campaign contributions"
 T wish to announce" said Darley that it is the policy of the Demo- cratic State Central Committee not only to solicit funds from any state or federal employe, or person on re- lief or work relief, but also to re- turn to such persons contributions which might be inadvertently made. The state committee made this quite definite in the printed enclos- ure which went out with every let ter"
