Police Search For Leary Fails;
 No Trace Of Him
tcontinued from Page D

(Continued from Page D prison without on opportunity to see their counsel or say farewell to families. Defense lawyers said the usual procedure would be to let the men remain at liberty for Q few days before asking for execution of the sentences imposed fin superior court.
 Lawyers for the imprisoned de- fendants plan & conference to de- eide on @ possible appeal to the U. s. Supreme Court. The conference will be held in this city within Q few days.
 Counsel Plan Action.
 Counsel for the four defendants whose motions to have the verdicts against them set aside were granted by the Supreme Court of Errors plan to go into superior court next week to ask final clearing of their clients names. The four are ex- Corporation Counsel Charles s. O'Connor, and accounants George H. Kingsley and John w. Meany Of New York and Simon J. Adler man of New Haven.
 Leary has been listed as e "fugi- tive from justice" since yesterday afternoon. Radio and teletype alarms for his. capture have been gent by state police into . dozen states.
 Car Is Followed
 A car owned by 6 member of the Leary family was followed all the way to New Haven and back yes- terday by state police, but 1t de- veloped that the auto had been used to give a ride to Waterbury to 6 relative who had arrived in New Haven by train.
 Not ony Leary's home, but of- fees of his business enterprises were being watched by state police. Friends still held to the theory that the former controller had gone in- to another state to set the stage for legal battle on whether or not the defendants in the conspiracy case shall be allowed freedom on bonds while an appeal to the U. s. Supreme court was decided.
 Story Unverihed
 Verification was still lacking for an apparently well-substantiated fe- port that Leary had escaped state police In an automobile chase Thurs day night and had entered another state.

pendence and security.
 It was understood that to combat such opposition as this, Germany had agreed to special formula i'll Jugoslavia's case so that instead of openly adhering to the Axis in a subordinate role the government could sign an agreement of "collab- oration" with Germany.
 Further, the calling up at the present time of new batch of army conscripts for six weeks of training was regarded rather as Q gesture to the public opinion than defense measure.
 Newspapers in inspired editorials said Jugoslavia had always attached great importance to its foreign rela- tions, that 1t remained faithful to its policy of peace and non-interven- ton and that "Jugoslavia's rulers will look after this country's policy and lead 1t through difiicult hours, taking care of the inviolability and independence of the country"

TRAFFIC IN CITY
 TIED UP BY SNOW
CCont'nued from Page D

The snow began falling shortly before 1 a.. m. and continued throughout the night. Sweeping up along the Atlantic Seaboard 1t brought the heaviest snow of the season to eastern states. New York, Washington and other cities were buried In drifts.
 No Extras Hired
 The street department here hired no extra men to combat the storm but extra trucks were added. Nine- teen blows were in operation this morning, and more than 200 regular employees were on duty. The street department said It's first aim was to open up all streets, letting cleaning up" operations go until later. The department stated that blows went Into service shortly after the snow began.
 Transportation officials said that travelling conditions would have been worse but for the fact that the bliz- gard began during the night, when there was little traffic. This afford- ed an opportunity to keep DuS routes open and ready for operation after daylight.
 On Anniversary
 The blizzard came almost on the anniversary of the famous blizzard of 88, which began on March l2. In New York this morning fear was expressed that today's fall would exceed the l6 inches that fell in the metropolis in the historic storm. New York had foot of snow at Q @. m.
 Coal companies were being swamp ed with orders today as household CTS feared that the storm might continue long enough to leave them with empty coal bins. Range oil and other fuels were also in great de- mand,

hand at the hearing to oppose the whole bill. Eddie holds that Wa terbury needs no bonds at all and that the money will be used to cover up big deficits which he claims are in existence. Attorney Michael J. Galullo, city court pros- ecutor will also probably oppose the entire bill.
 The city would use the $2,000000 to build @ second pipe line from Morris, also to erect 8 third dam in that town. At present the city has only a single line from the main reservoir system and its breakage might result in an emergency sit- uation. The new dam, 1t is claimed would mean a great improvement in water pressure.
 The $100,000 raised from the sale of trade school bonds would be Jumped with $150,000 which the city hopes to get from the David Porter estate and used to erect a trade school building on the Por- ter poperty on Meriden road.

 The jockeying for position be- tween the Republicans and Demo- crats In the General Assembly still goes on as the session hears the half.way mark. A definite show down between the major parties seems destined to come soon, though many of the expected bat ties will be avoided through the de- cision of some Republican leaders to give at least their individual sup- port to liberal and progressive mea- sures.

Cynical Disregard
OF Ituthr Justice

Another important aspect Of
National Socialist mentality which
profoundly affects dealings with
l-ati,i is-aff- open and
cynical disregard Of truth and
Justice in carrying on negotiations
either in war or in peace.
Hitler has stated that truth Is
anything which will help the Ger
man cause" He also has stated
that he IS willing 10 make treaties
and agreements from time 10 time,
but. OF course. anybody who be-
lieves in them is nothing more
than a fool

treaty with Germany, containing
promise Of equal treatment, had
expired ] visited the Foreign
Office to protest against the un-
fair discrimination practiced upon
our exporters OF United States
lard. The Foreign Office eX-
planned at great length that no
discrimination existed, and imports
Of American lard were treated
precisely as those from any other
country. that our country had re-
ceived a quota OF 40 per cent of
ITS average sales 10 Germany for

these simply lead TO tire making

his victims.
The people in conquered France,
the low countries. Scandinavia,
Poland and Czechoslovakia live
under suspense their present
situation is bad enough, and the
future promises to be even worse.
Whatever visible rights they
now possess may be taken away

constructing their shattered aft

that Germany has signed no peace

II does not seem likely that the

There will be no peace confer

the conquered peoples on the

Russians Slowly Ground but Still Hold Key Cities and Retain

the note was delivered in London, and
on Friday the Iranian Minister to the
United States said in Washington there
were only 700 Germans in his country.
He said also that Iran would fight any
invader, no matter what flag he car
ried. He conferred with Secretary of
State Hull and received assurances that
the United States would not support
British or a Russian military move
against Iran. This was a curious an
nouncement, and time probably will dis
close its purpose. Since the Roosevelt
Churchill talks, the United States, 1t is
understood, has become an ally of Eng
land in all but name and guns.
IN Monday President Roosevelt showed
keen interest In the Middle East. He
announced that arrangements had been
made for the Pan American Airways
system to ferry fighting aircraft from
the United States to West Africa and
thence direct to British armed forces
in the Middle East. If any British armed
forces took step toward Iran, they
would be British armed forces in the
Middle East
Those forces saw some activity during
the week. Their planes bombed Syracuse
