 Safety Conference
Governor Appeals for Statewide Cooperation in Pro-
 motion for Safety Program Activities

Bridgeport, March l9-An appeal for statewide cooperation in the safety conference being sponsored by the State Highway Commission at Yale University on March 27 was voiced by Governor Raymond E. Baldwin last night in his radio broadcast carried over three Con- necticut stations.
 we want all of you to come, " said Governor Baldwin, ito listen to the talks that will be given, and to talk yourselves in the general dis cussions that will follow, if you feel you have something worthwhile to contribute"
 Equality For All'
 The chief executive stressed equality for all" in the matter of handling motor vehicle violations, and continued his blistering attack against "ticket-f1xing.".
 "The plain people of this State, said the governor. without political pull or friends in nigh places, resent seeing some fellow getting his ticket fixed. You know that if you com

mitted the same ofense, you'd have to pay fine or go to jail.
 Who does he think he is? And what kind of law is it that the individual can flout with impunity? If it's a good law, 1t should be one that we all have to obey"
 Governor Baldwin lauded the mayors, selectnen and police chiefs of the state who have cooperated with State agencies in putting an end to ticket fixing and in enforc- ing traffic laws.
 we've gone along another step of the way" Governor Baldwin de- clared. we've begun zoning our local community highways, estab- fishing lower speed limits for bus mess and residential areas. And let me remnid you of this: remember you can't set up local speed zones in your own home community for your own protection and expect other motorists to respect them if you yourself don't respect the local speed limits in other communities when you drive through them.
 No Politics
 We cannot permit highway safety to become a political issue, political football. We can not, we must not, play politics with human safety. Safety is safety, whether the pedestrian or the motorists be a Republican, Democrat, or any thing else. The campaign for high way safety dates far back over many state and local administra- tions."
 In closing, Governor Baldwin spoke of the safety conference and mentioned the various subjects ano forums which will highlight the session. Among tn espeakers, he pointed out, will be Edward Hickey Commissioner of State Police; Col onel Samuel H. Fisher, chairman o1 the Highway Safety Commission Dr. Charles Seymour. president Of the Yale University; William J. Cox Highway Commissioner, and Will. liam J. Cameron, of the Ford Motor Company.

MRS. SIMPSON IS
 GONE ONCE MORE

New York, March 19.-(UP)-Mrs. Lydia Simpson, former wife of Dr. George Gaylord Simpson, curator of the American Museum of Natural History, was missing again today af- ter dramatic street corner reunion with her daughters whom she had hitch linked here to see after her escape from the Connecticut state hospital
 Mrs. Simpson fled the asylum at Middletown, Conn, Sunday night. She thumbed rides to New York and intercepted her daughters, Betty, Il, and Joan, F, on their way to school. There was a fearful reunion at which she asked the children to convey her love to two older daughters, Helene, and Patricia. Then she hur- ried away.
 Dr. Simpson expressed surprise at his former wife's unscheduled visit and said that in the future she would have to get a court order to see the children. He obtained a divorce in 1884 on the ground Mrs. Simpson had threatened to kill him.

 Chamberlain said that the Hit ler-Mussolini meeting confronted 1 Welles with a new event.

 'The time and place for us to strike must be decided upon with the most expert advice that we can command"
 Chamberlain's detailed story of the allied plans for aiding Sweden revealed a scheme far more com- prehensive than had previously been disclosed.
 Would Assist Sweden
 In connection with German charges that the allies wanted to spread the war to Scandinavia to provide a new front for attack on the Reich, the prime minister said that the allied high command had taken into consideration the need for assisting the Swedes if they were attacked by Germany.
 He said that Finland had been urged to make a public appeal for allied aid by March but they asked for postponement of the de- cision. Then, he said, the Finnish ministers at Paris and London ask ed if 5000 men could be sent with in the month Gin March).
 "We replied with proposals to provide the largest force 1t was physically possible to transport" he said.
 Tn the end," he said, "the date the Films fixed for their decision passed without a decision.
 "The next day, we heard that peace terms were accepted" Cheered By House Chamberlain was cheered by the House when he said that the Fin nish peace terms were o great trag- edy and that closer examination ol the terms only confirmed our view that they could have been accepted by a proud people like the Finn only under dire compuision." "It is no use pretending that thl peace terms did uot compronais the independence and integrity Q P.aiand," he said.

as many more as necessary to aid Finland. And he added this warn ing:
 Neutrals Are Warned
 Nothing will or can save the neutral countries but a determine tion to defend themselves and join with others who are ready to aid them in their defense"
 The 71-year-old prime minister challenged by series of German diplomatic feats and under severe fire on the home political front struck back with all of his strength at both the nations foe and his own critics.
 Of the meeting between Hitler and Mussolini at Brenher pass yes- terday, he said:
 Whatever may be the outcome we are ready to meet 1t
 we are not likely to be diverted from the purpose (the defeat oi Nazism) for which we entered this war.
 For all I know these two gentle men (Hitler and MussolinD) may have spent their time discussing conditions under which an Italian ship was destroyed yesterday by a German mine." Scapa Flow Failed Nor did Chamberlain accept the German charges that Nazi aeria' raid on the British base as Soaps Flow had been highly effective.
 If the raid was meant to be Q raid on the fleet at Scapa Flow then 1t must be regarded as a fail. ure," he declared. T confess I was rather surprised at the importance which has appar. ently been attached to what was z very unimportant affair"

 The Brennero conference fol lowed. It was said that Mussolin returned from it last night witt word that Hitler would delay hi "great offensive" and would mak' some concession for peace.
 This was all strictly according tt the Vatican version. The nature oi the Brennero meeting was still an official secret.
 Eleven Point Plan
 The 11-point plan, as described by the Vatican informant, was as follows:
 II General and simultaneous disarmament on land, sea and air;
 9 Formation of a small, inde- pendent Poland in the center part of the former state, around War saw, with about 10,00O,00O popula- ton; Gdynia to be a Polish port on the Baltic; the Poles to have a free port at Danzig and Polish commerce to the Baltic to be fa- cilitated; boundaries of the small Polish state to be determined by plebiscites under international commissions; minorities problems to be solved in the Danubian Pol- ish zones by mass emigrations;
 3 Czechs, Slovaks and Hum- garians to form tripartite state allied to Germany with Germany to hold certain industrial and communications rights for 25 years;
 4 Austria forever to remain in the reich;
 5 Germany to get back her colonies within 25 years or at least certain colonial concessions or the protection of German emigration to certain zones in Africa;
 6) A Danubian confederation to be formed with the participa- tion of Germany and Italy as the great guardian powers, also in- cluding Jugoslavia, Rumania, Be- hemia, Slovakia and Hungary;
 2 A Balkan status quo there- after, protecting the frontiers such as Rumania's Translvania and Bessarabia districts;
 8 Absolute liberty of relgiion; Germany's remaining Jews to emil grate under the direction of Bri- tain to Palestine, to Italian East Africa and to French Madagascar;
 9 Absolute liberty of trade after the war; no tariff barriers for raw materials and direct con- tacts for economic collabora tion with the United States, also fa- cilitati0n for German and Ital- ian emigration such as Italians to Tunisia and Germans to Africa;
 10) Special treatment of Ital- ian commerce at Djibouti, also free passage at Suez beginning in 1945;
 III A new statute for Italians in Tunisia.
 The last two points would denot axis collaboration in the effort t, obtain satisfaction of Italy's mat ural aspirations"

 There were hints that the next development would be rapproch- ment between Italy and Russia that might lead to g. rlnan-ItaliaI1- Russian bloc dominating the Bal kanS.
 Speculation, current ever since the Russo-G German non-aggression agreement, that Russian Premier Foreign Commissar Viacheslav Mo. lotov would visit Berlin, had been revived by the termination of the Russo Finnish war and by Ger many's campaign to draw Italy and Russia together. There were no indications that such a trip was planned, but a well informed source said 1t was possible.
 Russia Must Come In
 Foreign office spokesmen have said that Russia as a great power was entitled to participate in the new order in Europe. And Won Ribbentrop's magazine "Rome-Ber- lin-Tokyo," expressed that view just a few hours before the Bren- nero conference was announced.
 All sources here stressed that the Brennero meeting was related to German-Italian collaboration in the war, not necessarily military, but political and economical. It was not believed that any peace plan had figured importantly in the talks well informed persons here stressed these points:
 l. Germany is not striving for peace by negotiation.
 2. Peace can be attained only by British equalization.
 3. Germany is strong enough to force the Allies to their knees. A.. The air raid on Scapa Flow last Saturday was a demOnstra- ton of the aerial war Germany is prepared to unleash to force peace on her terms.
 The semi official diplomatic an6 political correspondence said today of the Brennero conference:
 "There is great disappointment ir the capitals of the western powers categorical demands of broad circles in England as well as France | for a new diplomacy which woulc finally secure the western powers the initiative, hace collapsed the meeting of two national lead CTS (Hitler and MussolinO showed clearly what false grounds the hope: and speculations of the western pow.

 The agency said that the con- ference had destroyed any possibil. ity of the Allies 'maneuvefing tht two authoritarian states into op- posite camps"

 Chamberlain said that the col- lapse of Finland was "a profound shock to all the world"
 He charged Germany with com- plicity in the downfall of Finland.
 Finland would never had been invaded if it had not been for the pact between the Soviets and Ger many" he declared. The prime minister said that the Films first asked for fighting planes then for bombing planes and later for guns.

Army Recruit Claims
To Haze Devised Shell
That Runs DOlUn Plane

An anti-aircraft prOjectile with
ears that detect planes and blows
them up in the air is the ambitious
invention which John L. Pagan of
Harlem, Mont, claims to have de-
vised.
Pagan claims plane hasn't a
chance to get away, once his anti
aircraft shell gets within listening
distance.
The projectile, as Pagan ex-
planned it, has movable fins which
guide its flight in the air, after 1t
has been fired from q regulation
anti-aircraft gun.
1t has listening device similar
to those employed on the ground
by the army and navy. The ground
listening device is used to detect
approaching planes.
The projectiIe's listening device,
according to Pagan, "hears" the
motor of the plane, adjusts the fins
to alter the course of the bullet.
Then the projectile takes out after
the plane. 1t explodes upon con-
tact.
Pagan, a university graduate, en-
listed for service with the head
quarters squadron of the Seventh
bombardment group at Hamilton
field, Calf. He expects to develop
the listening" shell still further
there.
