Three accidents occurred yester- day afternoon involving seven cars, within five minutes of each other in the same location where an 11-car collision happened Saturday afternoon. Miner damage resulted to all the cars
 Ella o. Anderson, 31, of 13 Alma street, stopped the car she was driving in front of 891 East Main street, when another car, operated by William Mackiewicz, 9, of 37 Fairbanks street, proceeding west erly, went into 8 skid, grazing the Anderson automobile. The third car, driven by Mrs. Helen Stevens, 31, of no Sherman avenue, Meri- den, which was tagging behind the Mackiewicz machine, was unable to stop and rammed the rear of Miss Anderson's vehicle.
 Motor Patrolman Raymo on d Grady parked his cruiser car next to the curb where the Anderson car was stationed, when. H. c. Pe- derson, 46, of the Chase Country club, travelling west on East Main street, went into skid which sent his car against the left rear of the patrolman'S. Damage to the police car amounted to a few dents.

Short-Weight Blamed
 On Defective Scales
Judge John L. Gaffney Imposes Fine of $25, Costs; Appeal Taken Following Hearing on Coal Shortage

A shortage in the weight of a truck containing two and a half tons of coal, brought Morris Green blatt, 47, of IA Waterville street, in- to city court this morning before Judge John L. Gaffney on charge of using defective scales. The court fined the accused $25 and costs from which Greenblat appealed to the common pleas court through Att torney John Membrino. Judge Gaff- ney fixed bonds at $100.
 State Trooper Frank Rozentka, of Hartford barracks, testified he found shortage of 140 pounds after he checked a truck carrying three loads and weighing 5000 pounds. He was followed to the witness stand by William Dunlavey, sealer of weights and measures, who checked the weight at Greenblatt'S place of business, the Economy Coal and Oil Company, Inc, at Sperry street. He substantiated testimony of the state trooper.
 Greenblatt testified he was un- aware that the counterpoise on the weighing machine was not function ing, after telling the court that he had checked the weight in the morning, whcih testimony was borne out by one of his employees.
 A part of the mechanism of the weighing machine was shown by Greenblta who explained that the balance part was loose from the set- screw, which could make the weighing machine register either oevr or under. The part was hand ed to Prosecuting Attorney Michael J. Galullo, who made an inspection to see if the set-screw could be frightened on either side of the unit called a balance. The mechan- ism. Greenblatt claimed, could not be frightened when it was attached to teh weighing machine, after the prosecutor had succeeded in tight ening it firmly on both sides.
 Defense Atty. Membrino claims the thread-bare piece which is in serted into the balance, was worn and consequently there was no counterpoise. During the testi- mony of Dunlavey, the defense at- torney brought out the fact that the weighing machine at Greenblatt's place of business was in good work ing condition and that the defect occurred since the time it was in- spected by the sealer of weights and measures.
 Questions during testimony by Greenblatt revealed that the short age over amounted to 60 cents for a difference of 140 lbs., and that the sum was insignificant when split over a supply of three loads to customers. He broke the figures down to 45 lbs. or 20 cents for each delivery. MT. Greenblatt, who is president and treasurer of his con- cern, was not Intentionally prac-

RYAN CHALLENGES
 HERBERT s. SMITH
Radio Commentator Seeks Public Discussion on
 Lease=Lend Bill

Edward J. Ryan of Thomaston, former radio commentator, today issued public challenge to Herbert Smith, general secretary of the Y. M. c. A., to meet him in gen. eral debate which would be open to the public. MT. Ryan'S statement follows:
 Last evening I Iattended the open forum at the Central Y. M. c. A. which was open to the public, ex- pecting to hear questions concern ing the lease -and-lend bill which is now before Congress, and answered and argued. I expected that every one desiring to be heard would be given that courtesy"
 T was mistaken. When MT. Smith who acted as the leader, made statement he was swamped with questions and heated argu- ments. He could not, or at least he did not, answer any of the ques- tions that put to him on the aims of the ease-and-lerd bill.
 Everyone who attended that forum was disappointed. Therefore, I take this opportunity to chal- lenge MT. Smith who I know to be great American and one of Wat erburys outstanding citizens, to meet in public debate anytime, any, where.
 "In this great democracy of ours, forums such as those sponsored by the Y. M. c. A. are good for our country and our people. Only in this country can we have such lib- erty. For one, I am anxious to keep that freedom and want no part of a dictatorship and mark me well, if the lease-and-lend bill is adopted by the United States Con- greSs, we will have a dictatorship in America. Our destiny, the very future of our great country will de- pend upon ONE man. Congress can go home after the bill is adopted, they will no longer be needed, for they will be stripped of their pow CTS. If the bill is adopted it will mean war-not aid short of war. If the bill is adopted we can give Great Britain no more aid than we are now giving her.
 If the bill is adopted, ONE man will have the power, under section nine to Repeal or modify any exist ing law, which means any law or all laws on our federal statute books
 Let me make my position clear I am for all aid to Great Britain but not at the expense of the lives of our American men. I want Great Britain to win this war but I do not want dictatorship adop- ted here while we are told we must perhaps die to fight dictatorship.
 "The proposed lease-and- lend bill will give to ONE man in America, which is still at peace with the world, more power than the Eng fish people have given to Winston Churchill and that country is at war facing desperate crisis.
 Knowing MT. Smith, am sure that he will accept this challenge in the same friendly spirit in which it is made"
