 The union struck for what 1t called "union security" and what the com- pany caleld "closed shop" after virtual agreement on wage increases had been reached.

FLOWERS SHOWER DOWN

Athens, Greece, March 28.-(UP) Roads leading from Athens were lined today by admiring crowds which showered flowers and ever- green branches on all passing uni- forms.
 CThe only roads from Athens more than 20 miles long lead north, toward the Jugoslav and Bulgarian borders and Albania. Most Greek men of fighting age in the Athens area joined the colors months ago. Any substantial troop movement from Athens, therefore, might indd- cate that a British expeditionary force had landed at the Port of Athers)
 A government spokesman said that the Greeks are overjoyed by news of the Jugoslav coup d'etat. They are deeply moved by the man. ifestations outside the Greek lega- tion at Belgrade and the consulate at Skoplje Gin Jugoslavia, near the Greek border) The Greeks always believed that Jugoslavs. despite out ward appearances. eventually would follow the we" ny cause"

 Several Waterbury bills were listed on today's legislative bulletin for action next week.

 George w. Crawford of New Ha- ven, representing Simon J. Alder man of that city, then added his protest to that of Slade. For mo- ment it appeared likely that very hot argument might result, but nothing further occurred, and Judge McEvoy proceeded to grant the nolles.
 John H. Cassidy was the third lawyer, appearing for MT. O'Connor It was when he rose to ask that his client be discharged that the legal matter of what type of dismissal be granted would result in a definite attitude by the state. MT. Alcorn here interrupted to say that if the judge granted such a motion, the state would have no further re- course against the men. He pointed out the possibility of future action in the event any of the men so dis charged either admitted guilt in the future, or new evidence was found to institute action against them.
 For the present, the state is satis- fled to comply, with the rulings of the states highest court.
 Bonds Not Released
 Having granted the nolles, the next most important matter, that of releasing the bonds, was taken up. Crawford and Shade argued that since the state has completed its case against these men, the bonds should automatically be freed.
 But Judge McE,voy. stating there was no reason for haste in the matter, said he would give the mo- tions in this respect further consid- eration. Court was recessed, and shortly thereafter George H. Free man, clerk of the superior court, was ordered to release the bonds, in some instances consisting of large amounts of cash.
 Atty. Crawford, in commenting on the courts action this morning, stated that since the four men have been exonerated of guilt, any fur ther actions would only add to the injury which these men have already suffered.

MT. Hollister as well as being execu- tive vice-president had also been secretary-treasurer of the American Brass.
 The new controller, MT. Daly, will not be located in Waterbury, but will have offlces in New York City. He had previously been affiliated with the Anaconda Copper Mining Com pany. MT. Steele will likewise be stationed in New York City.
 John A. Coe, Jr., added to the Board of Directors, will continue in his present status as vice-president in charge of sales. His headQuarters will remain in Waterbury.
 Even when the American Brass became the main subsidiary of the Anaconda Copper Mining Company such changes as these were not made in the local plant. Rumored at that time such stories as replacement of local officials by others afflnated with Anaconda and possible transfer of local factories to other cities. From time to time there have been changes in personnel necessitated by transfers, resignations or death, but local management of the American Brass has remained consistent.
 In the selection of MT. Judd and Mir. Quigley to assume the active management of the well-known brass firm, with MT. Coe remaining close at hand through his Board chairmanship, the company policy of ome-bred and home-trained executives is closely followed since, all three have grown up with Amer icarl Brass and are intimately acc quainted with its many ramifications here and elsewhere.
 As MT. Ooe himself said of the changes "the best coordination pos- sible was sought. American Brass is playing an important part in na- tional defense production and doubt- less the current executive changes are calculated to it in with the de- mands of the government in this respect.

that of the British minister, Sir Ronald Campbell, followed by the automobile of the American min- ister, Robert Bliss Lane, accompan- led by his military attache, Colonel Louis Fortier.
 The crowds had seen a dramatic and historic overthrow of the reg ency and government which had committed them to support the Axis. They knew that their little nation might scon be re-committed to tacit if not open defiance of Nazi Ger many.
 But they knew that their army, which for weeks had been quietly mobilizing, was rapidly approaching its peak strength. Tens of thou sands of them had been called to the colors yesterday. They had the strongest cabinet in memory and they seemed ready for anything which might come.
 Leniency For Guilty
 Swiftly consolidating its control, the new government permitted Prince Paul, head of the busted re- gency, to leave for Greece by spe- cial train at his own request at Il o'clock last night.
 Former Premier Dragisha Cvet- kovich and former foreign Minister Alexander Cincar -Markovich had been released from arrest at 11:20 ?. m. and permitted to go to their homes.
 Germans who for weeks had crowded the capitals leading hotels 1 were packing up, ready to leave en Enasse.
 The governments confidence in the spirit of the people, and of their undivided support, was shown by the fact that as soon as 1t had effected the overthrow of the old regime 1t removed the restrictions which had been clamped down so suddenly Wednesday night.
 Soldiers were recalled from all key points of the capital except govern 1nent buildings. Those soldiers who remained on duty had garlands of flowers on their rifles. The city was in carnival moods. Songs and cheers ecn0ed through the StreetS ana HagS hung from homes and buildings. Re- ports from the provinces said that in Croatia and Slovene as well as Serb areas the spirit was the same, and that enthusiastic manifestations had been held in support of the king and the army.
 The crowds, tired and hoarse, went home early last night and the streets were left to casual pedestrians and the soldiers, who grinned happily.
 T Am An American
 A squad of soldiers stopped me as I entered a telephone booth but as soon as I said I was an American they smiled, saluted me and told me to go about my business.

had maintained strict silence on the Jugoslav situation.
 Informants said the German min- ister at Belgrade was in. constant communication with Foreign Min- ister Joachim von Ribbentrop.
 Asked whether the new Jugoslav government would endorse the tri- partite pact, an authorized spokes- man said:
 Tt is unusual for one govern ment to cast overheard treaties signed by its predecessor. The ofdcial radio this morning broadcast full reports of the Jugo- slav situation, including alleged anti German demonstrations and pro-AmericaI1 and pro-British man ifestations.
 It made no comment. Second Page Only
 Early afternoon newspapers put reports of yesterdays Jugoslav coup d'etat on their second page. Re- ports of Anti-German demonstra- tions were not included. NaZis continued to assert, though perhaps with lesseni1g emphasis, that they were confident that Jugo- slavia would announce it's adher- ence to the Axis.
 An authorized informant, saying that thus far no clear definition of Jugoslavia's future foreign policy had been received, commented:
 Tt is very natural that the situa- tion is being followed in the Ger man capital and the foreign ofiice with extreme interest" The informant said 1t was irn- possible to state whether c quick answer from Jugoslavia on its po- sition was likely.
 "This depends on the consolida ton of various conflicting interests with in the country itself," he explained.
 "How far Winston Churchills re- marks yesterday (praising the action of the new regime in Jugoslavia) were based on political facts and how far on propaganda Is not yet clear. m Until the situation has been clari- fled we must maintain complete reserve"
 What Adolf Hitler would do if the demands for Q statement were ignored, or if the action of the de- funct government were repudiated, Nazis would not suggest. Told To Keep Quiet | Newspapers, as well as spokesmen, were understood to have received orders to conf1ne any remarks on the Jugoslav situation to generalities until the attitude of the new regime had been made plain.
 Voelkischer Beobachter, the offic- ial newspaper organ of the Nazi party, based its main headline today on the visit yesterday of Japanese Foreign Minister Yosuke Matsuoka to Hitler.
 Reliable informants said that as soon as 1t had received complete reports of the coup d'etat by which the Jugoslav army overthrow the government that signed Jugoslav in- to the Axis Germany addressed an urgent" inquiry to the new goverl- ment asking a statement of its pol- icy.
 J Unofficial infornants admitted , that the situation was still not clear but added that Germany's only in- terest was whether the new govern ment would continue to support the axis or meant to repudiate the agreement.

Planes Range Everywhere

A6IkCS ANsSAABO AbVVhy WAVkO With major drives in progress against Asmara and Dire Dawa British planes were ranging far and wide over East Africa.
 A South African air force com- munique issued in Nairobi, Kenya, said that planes had bombed a tent camp, registering four direct hits, north of Lake Rudolf in Southern Ethiopia. In the same area admin istration buildings and entrench- ments were bombed.
 "A troop train was machine gum ned 50 miles east of Addis Ababa," the Narobi communique said. "The engineer and fireman jumped of the train. Then, when the train was at a Standstill, 50 or 60 soldiers jumped out"
 British military quarters express ed belief thatt he Iltsnaaishrdl-- eda belief that the Italians fleeing to Asmara from Keren were fin poor shape"
 Fighting continued in the area around Debra Markos, capital of Gojjam Province, only 116 miles from Addis Ababa. Most of the warfare there was being waged by Ethiopian patriots loyal to Emperor Halle Selassie under the direction of British officers.
 A Cairo headquarters co1nmunique said there was no activity in Libya, where German and Italian troops were in Fl Agheila, near the border of Tripolitania and Cyrenaica in Libya.
 Was Tough Fight
 Military quarters admitted that the British had been through tough fight at Keren and g. warning was given mot to expect that Brit lsh casualties would be on the same light scale as they were in North Africa" The Italians also suffered heavily before they gave up the fight at Keren. The British cap- tured quantities of war material at both Keren and Harar.
 (In London 1t was disclosed that some British Indian regiments and regiment of Highlanders, which participated in British recapture oi Sidi Barani, Egypt, also fought al Keren. It was believed there Wal no precedent for troops, within three months, to participate in sue. cessflll battles 1900 miles apart.)

knowledge that the air force, under Gen. Richard Dusan-Simovitch, the new premier, had led the coup d'etat.
 The lobby of one principal hotel which had been filled with Germans looked like the Grand Central sta- ton in New York. I saw several Germans with their luggage, includ- ing hunting" rifles and fishing tackle, starting home.
 They had heard ringing in their ears for hours the cries of the street crowds: We are not Bulgarians" and Down with Hitler; long live the king"
 During the day the crowds stoned the German and Italian tourist bu- reauS.
 One of the reasons for the confl- dence of the people, and for their cheers, was their knowledge that mobilization had been accelerated. For days past the army had been making its dispositions. Mobilization measures had been scheduled to reach their peak April IS; they will do SO much earlier.
 The cabinet held two meetings on its first day in office, one at p. r1., one last night.
 Confidence of People
 There is every indication that 1t has the complete confidence of the people. It concentrates all the real political forces of the country, Serb, Croat, Slovene. It includes Serb radical, Serb Democratic, Serb Ag- rarian, Serb Independent, Jugoslav National, Croat Peasant, Slovene Popular anad Yugoslav Moslem rep resentatives.
 The movement by which the old regime was overthrown could not be called revolution. It was blow ing off of a safety valve after week of rising pressure. ..
