FREEZE ASSETS OF
 GERMANY, ITALY
New Economic Measures to Hit Axis Nations Be-
 ing Planned Here

Washington, April 20-(UP)-New economic measures against the Axis nations were being considered by the administration today.
 A plan to freeze the assets in this country if Germany and Italy was reported to be one matter being studied. The question of whether to stop all American oil shipments to Japan, also was being discussed by policy making officials.
 Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau, Jr., said the treasury's attitude had received encourage ment." The treasury long has ad- vocated freezing axis credits, but the state department has disagreed.
 Officials doubted that Japanese credits would be frozen soon because of the fear that it might provoke a crisis in the Pacific. Some oficials have counseled against stopping oil shipments to Japan in the belief that 1t would quicken Japan's search for new sources, possibly In the Dutch East Indies. Under present arrangements, no aviation gasoline is shipped to Japan and the ship ment of other types of gasoline and oil must be licensed.
 Treasury sources contend that It is inconsistent to freeze the assets of nations occupied by Germany and Italy, and not touch German and Italian assets themselves. The latest nation to have It's American assets frozen was Greece whsch had between $4O00O,000 and $50.oo0.ooo in this country.

BASEBALL STAR
 STILL TREMBLES
Robert Moore Clinched With Marlene Dietrich;
 Admits He Was Licked

Hollywood, April 29. - (UP) - Still tingling from 8 four-minute clinch with Marlene Dietrich, Rob- ert Moore conceded today that Miss Dietrich in the flesh and in pictures were two different things.
 More, an "unexcitable" baseball star from San Francisco State Col lege, and Miss Dietrich clinched yesterday in the interest of science and publicity, while a machine re- corded the degree of his emotion. Moore and the machine collapsed under strain.
 Nothing like this has ever hap pened to me-" he gasped. "She is very lovely lady and she certainly excited me. Only I'm glad she broke off that kiss when she did. My hearts still poundin' - gosh!"
 Moore was the only student in his psychology class who failed to react in a sex appeal test on a psycho- meter. The machine registered various degrees of emotion when other men in the class looked at Miss Dietrich's picture. When Moore looked at the photograph the machine registered in reverse,
 Miss Dietrich's press agents seized upon Moore's apparent indifference They said she regarded his lack ot emotion as an insult and invited him to Hollywood for e lip-to-lip encounter.
 Miss Dietrich threw her arms around Moore and gave him a kiss that will Hays would never allow on the public screen. After three minutes he was all but limp. The machine registered 100, the mixi- mum degree of response, and stuck.

MUSICIANS WIFE
 SUES FOR DECREE
Charges Husband With Kidnapping, Imprisoning
 Three Children

Kidnapping and imprisonment of her three boys, Thomas, 2, Robert, 4, and John, 3, is the charge Mrs. Carmella Mongillo Colello of Wat erbury brought against her rnusi- clan husband, Gaetano, this morn ing before Superior Court Judge Kenneth Wynne.
 Three days ago, said Mrs. Colello, Gaetano came to her home and took the children, and he has kept them since at his mothers home at 65 Summit street.
 Gaetano, denying that the chil- dren were being kept prisoners, stated that he took the children because he felt his wife could not make a proper home for them. To back up his contention, he testified that one George Zucca of North Main street was responsible for all his domestic troubles.
 Zucca was described as friend who became entirely too friendl.: beginning in 1888 and continuing to the present time. Early in April e,' 1888, said the husband, he warned Zucca to stay away from his home. zucca promised, but always return ed, particularly when he (Colello) was out looking for work.
 Often, when he returned home, Zucca could be found washing the dishes, sweeping the floor, and do. ing other small chores around the house. In fact, he was thoroughly at home around the Colello house.
 This continued until the time Gaetano decided, early this year, to leave his wife.
 The case is being tried before Judge Kenneth Wynne, and the three neat and presentable boys were brought to court on a habeas corpus writ at the instigation of plaintiffs counsel, Judge Edward Mascolo. Evidence continues to be taken at press time.

License Restored

sition of his case. The board had revoked his certificate following his conviction in August of 1889 with other conspiracy trial defendants, { When the supreme court decision was handed down in February this year MT. Alderman was among the number whose innocence was up- held and whose release from the charges preferred was urged upon the superior court. Such action was later taken here in Waterbury in MT. Aldermans case, as well as those of Charles OConnor, George Kingsley and John Meaney.
 The reason for the Attorney Gen. erals ruling was indecision on the part of the Accountancy Board over whether 1t could act on an appli- cation for reinstatement of certi- flcate If 1t is notified merely Of removal of the causes for revocation or if there should be a direct ap- plication. :.
 The Attorney General held that "since the revocation was based solely upon. the ground of convic- ton, which ground does not exist. there is nothing to support the &C., ton of the board and 1t may there- fore be rescinded."

DRAFT EXPERIMENT CLOSELY WATCHED
Pennsylvania Examining
 Boys Before They Leave .,.. Homes and Jobs

Waterbury Selective Service otn- cials and registrants will follow with close interest an experiment to be started by the War Department m Pennsylvania whereby men called for service would be given their h. nal physical examinations by army doctors before they are inducted and before they have left their homes and jobs.
 At present, young men called up are first examined by local doctors. If passed they are made ready for cali and sent on to Hartford, first giving up their jobs and saying farewell to their families. At Hart ford they undergo examinations by army doctors before being finally accepted.
 There have been c number of cases in which local men have been rejected at Hartford and sent home the same day. Then comes the necessity for getting back their jobs and for explaining why they are back home after having left for a years army training.
 The plan to be tried out in Penn- sylvania calls for the men to be given their tests by army doctors several weeks before induction, at points near their homes. Advocates of the experiment claim it will do much to improve the Seiectiye Serv- lee system by ending the present uncertainty oyer final acceptance 1ntIi after induction.

FIRE STICKS TO
 HER NEUTRALITY

 Any Supplies

Dublin, April %. - CUP) - Fires neutrality will not be bartered to ease its shortage of supplies, Min ister of Supplies Sean Lemass said last night.

 Our sovereign right to control our own territory every inch of 1t - and determinine our national policy will not be bartered for tea, flour, petrol, coal or anything else.
