 ceny in Two Counts

Longfellow of 276 Derby avenue, Derby, and that on August g, 1940, he also stole cash ier'S check on the Naugatuck Ma tional bank worth $40 from MT. Longfellow.

Frances nev- CT bought Bendix washing ma chine from the cmpany, MT. Terry said.
 Frances did not testify in his own behalf as 1t was not a question of finding him guilty or not guilty to- day, but merely question of ascer- taining whether there was probable cause.

Renewing his attack on the war draft of the United States, Rev. Dr. Edward Lodge Curran, noted lec- turing priest, last night declared that the country can be kept out of the world conflict CD by mobilizing public opinion against firtations of any kind with Russia, and (2) re- taining the Johnson act and the neutrality l"ws.
 Speaking at Buckingham hall un- der the auspices of the local chap ter of the Connecticut Mothers of American Sons, Dr. Curran, who was greeted by Mayor Vincent A. Scully and introduced by Rev. Jo- seph F. Donnelly, of St. Thomas church, rebuked the American press for what he termed its failure to identify Soviet Russia as an Axis power just as much as Italy or Ger many are Axis powers.
 But Russia is the most important of the Axis powers, pr. Curran said. Russia made possible the invasion of Poland and was the greatest con- tributor to the fall of France, pr. Curran said, adding that French military secrets transmitted to Mos- COW by French Communists, were in turn forwarded to Berlin by Mos COW.
 William Allen Whites British aid committee was made the target for some of the speakers verbal shafts. He asserted that Whites group makes no objection to those who aSsail their own government, but cry fifth column the moment some one ventures to criticize a certain foreign power (England).
 Dr. Curran, whose eloquence drew rounds of applause, declared that Communism is the worst menace in America today. He said that the public school system is dripping with Communists, while American leaders move weakly to recognize and combat the situation. He cited Brooklyn College, (noW being inves- tigated as being 8 hotbed for rad icals who do not belong to the Communist party for the simple reason that Russia wants them free to continue their American pene- tration unmolested."
 Returning to the war, pr. Cur ran said that the only hope for stopping the war during the birth day of the Prince of Peace lies in the rising up of the hierarchy of England. France, Germany, and Italy with the churchmen of other faiths to appeal to God to stop this bloodshed."
 Dr. Curran had words of praise for Father Coughlin, former radio voice, who is now banned" from the microphone. "The same peo- pie who allocated time to Browder, said Dr. Curran, "are the ones who would deny 1t to g. God-fearing, Got

JEHOvAH's WITNESSES

Why do real Christians formally and publicly declare their devotions to God? For the vindication of Je- hovah's name, which has been de- famed by Satan'S claim that he can turn all men away from God.

The truly alarming state Of affairs
is evidenced by the fact that Tony

was ranked No. 1 challenger for Joe
Louis crown. A glance at the list
is disc0uraging. Bob Pastor is
ranked as No. 2, followed by Lou

Memory Lingers
Instead, a dark brown memory

ested in the sport. The investiga-
ton has been kicked around so long
that it's little more than a joke.
Details of the scandal are largely
forgotten, but the subconscious
memory of another rotten deal lives
on.
Boxing promoters have helped
themselves into their present predic-
ament. They have arranged and
built up matches which were mere
ly second rate exhibitions.
It is true that these fights have
been widely patronized. But a
starving man doesn't demand caviar.

Edward c. Foster, National Box
ing association secretary, is none
too enthusiastic at the beginning of
the new year. However, he is heart
lily endorsed in his statement that
at least one beneficial step has been
taken. The two-title and three-title
champions have been eliminated.
1t will be remembered that Ham,
merin' Henry Armstrong, during
1899, held three titles at one time.
He was featherweight, lightweight,
and welterweight champion of the
world. He relinquished his feather.
weight title, lost his lightweight title
to Lou Ambers, and retains his
welterweight championship.
One Title Rule
That was as it should be. No fight
er should be allowed to hold more
than one crown. If Armstrong
was the logical welterweight cham
pion then it was unfair to the top
ranking contenders in the two other
divisions for him to be their king.
Boxing must put its house in or
der to regain the confidence and con-
tinue the patronage Of fans. It is
inconceivable that the public will
continue to support the kind Of a
program to which it has been SUBJ
jected for the past year. Second

tionable matches have done much

they are in the minority.
The housekeeping must come
soon and it will require the COM

promoters and ring officials to do
thorough job.

job will be insufficient.
