JOSEPH SPELL. IN
 DEFENSE CLAIM
COIOred Chauffeur -ButIef Refutes Charges Made
 By His Employer

Bridgeport, Conn, Jan. 2e--Wpy The defense gained access today to a confession" which police claimed Joseph Spell, Negro chatIt. feur-butler, made after his arrest last December 10, admitting he raped his Greenwich society matron employer and then tried to drown her in a reservoir.
 Spell, on trial before a superior court mixed jury, denied he had criminaIly attacked Mrs. Eleanor Strubing, wife of 8 New York ad- vertising executive.
 T had no reason to-" he told the jury, as he related how Mrs. Strub- ing, 'by the way she spoke and acted ;. sort of made me ask her" to have improper relations with him.
 Spell said he had knocked on the door of Mrs. Strubbing's bedroom, while she was taking 8 shower, and asked her to loan him $6.50. He testified she gave herself to him after exacting a promise that he would never say anything about 1"
 The indiscretion, he said, took place in Mrs. Strubing's automobile, and they later drove to the rser- voir, at Kensico, N. Y.
 Tries Suicide.
 Mrs. Strubing, he said, got out of the car and started to climb rail- ing encircling the reservoir. He testified he called to her:
 Whats the matter with you, come back"
 Mrs. Strubing, he asserted, told him she was "all right" and told him to 90 home.
 Spell said he was afraid she would hurt herself. I didn't know what to do.''
 Finally, he said, he drove to a place in White Plains, N. Y., and later to the Strubing home, where he was found by police.
 Spell said he told Greenwich au. thortties "untruths" because of a promise between us," meaning himself and Mrs. Strubing. He also denied that he forced Mrs. Strubing to write a $5000 ransom note to her husband after threaten ing to kill her with knife. Defense Counsel Samuel H. Fried man obtained permission to read the confession" of Spell after Judge Carl Foster excused the jury late yesterday as States Attorney Lorin W. Willis entered an objection.

Connecticut Observer Credits Waterbury Congress- nian With Obtaining Recognition From War Dept.

ment to the Waterbury Congress man."
 Congressman Smith, a member of the House Military Affairs Committee, has advocated for many years the establishment of sufficient defense facilities in Connecticut and New England. Last vera, largely through his efforts, Connecticut'S first anti- aircraft regiment, the 208th Coast Artillery, now in training at Fal- mouth, Massachusetts, was organ ized.
 Recently, the War Department announced tentative plans to in- stall an air base at Hartford but when negotiations for the acquisi- tion of a suitable site reached a standstill, consideration was given areas outside Connecticut. Concer- ming Congressman Smiths work to retain the base in Connecticut, "Connecticut's Observer in Wash ington" has the following com ment.
 
 Representative J. Joseph Smith of Waterbury merits citation for persuading the War Department to provide. defense for Connecti- cut industry by establishing an air base at Windsor Locks. The Army found inadequate cooperation there. With Hartford discarded, army engineers commenced to look at other sites outside the state. Thereupop. MT, Smith went to work. He pulled strings and made telephone calls. He's a member of the Military Affairs Committee, which helped. He sold the War De- partment on Windsor Locks. He enlisted Governor Hurley's aid. He got help from other quarters, too, but the new base should be a monument to the Waterbury Congressman"
 It has been pointed out that the Windsor Locks base will pro. vide excellent protection for Nau- gatuck Valley industry, for the distance can be covered in approx imately ten minutes flying time.

JAIL FARM PLAN
 NEARER REALTY
CBy Democrat Legislative Reporter)

(By Democrat Legislative Reporter)
 State Capitol, Hartford, Jan. 29 -The Cheshire reformatory may Se the location of the New Haven county jail farm if the jail farm plan, favored by sheriffs and many welfare organizations, is adopted according to reports here.
 The plan being talked of would have the reforatory still continue to function, with the jail farm To- cated there but with jail prisoners kept segregated. Renovations to the buildings at Cheshire are called for.
 There is strong support for a jail farm system to replace the present county jails. Several methods have been proposed, one calling for a central jail farm for the whole state, another for separate jail farms for each county.

the Wagner act and striking a crushing blow at labor unions.
 Crux of the scheme is a pro-
 vision requiring all concerns,
 before they can obtain govern
 ment contract, to secure mo-
 strike guarantee from a major
 ity of their employees. If dis
 putes do arise later, they
 would have to be submitted to
 compulsory government arbitra-
 tion.
 Neither the company nor the workers would have any voice in the settlement and both would be bound by the arbitrators' de- cision. U. s. organized labor has long opposed compulsory arbitra- ton, on the ground that it would destroy independent unionism. STICKING AROUND
 The one cabinet officer whose term expires by law at the end of a presidential term is the Postmaster General. However, affable, egg-bald Postmaster Gen. eral Frank Walker, one of Roose- velt's closest friends, made it clear he had no intention of quitting.
 Here's my resignation" Walker told the President, 'but
 I'm warning you I'm sticking around. In this emergency I feel it's my duty to serve the
 country and I'm staying on as
 Postmaster General or in any other job where I can be help full"
 Thanking him, Roosevelt as- sured Walker that he wanted him to remain in the Post Offlce De- partment, where Walker has done an outstanding job.
 'I refuse to let you refuse to quit, Frank" he grinned. "YOu are rehired.'
 NOTE - In order to give his full time to the government, Walker recently placed a general manager in charge of his string of movie theaters in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Connecticut. Unlike Jim Farley who spent only a day or two a week at his 20 desk, Walker is there every work day from g a. m. to well after 5 p. m.
