Patriotic Waterburians bought out the complete initial supply yes- terday of the $25 and 1000 Defense savnes bonds, after they were for- mally put on sale to the public yes- terday morning.
 Charles A. Babin postmaster said that these two denominations were sold out by 4 p. m. yesterday after noon, and buying in the other brack- cts which include the issues of $50, $75, $100 and $500 defense bonds were heavy. MT. Babin indicated that these also will be sold quickly passing his view on the way the other two issues were 50 hurriedly grabbed up by the public.
 Stamps were also moving fast, and yesterday the postal savings plan stamps grossed $200. These stamps range from 10 cents to $500.
 The postmaster said that he ex- pected 8 new supply to reach Wa terbury shortly but would not state just when as "the government has 6 colossal job in Washington to get them out.'
 President Roosevelt, who opened the campaign a few days ago char acterized these defense bonds as an "all out effort to perpetuate De- mocracy". The spirit in the city was well exemplifieo by the public re- sponse, MT. Babin pointed out.

PAINTINGS TO

That Is Sum State Must Pay for Rex Brasher's
 Collection
(By .DennOcrat LegisIatlye r.eporterl

(By Democrat Legislative Reporter)
 State Capitol, Hartford, May D. It will cost the state of Connecti- cut $74,200 to buy Rex Brasher's paintings of birds for which spe- cial commission is now negotiating.
 The commission, named some time ago by Governor Robert A. Hurley, made It's report today and was sub- if1itted, without comment, to the legislature. William J. Pape, Wa terbury publisher, is chairman of the special commission.
 The price is set at $s5 a painting There are 874 of them, all marvellous creations and by various authori- ties declared to rival any that Au- dubon ever did. Most of them were done ct Mir. Brasher's studio in the Chickadee Valley of Kent, where he has Q permanent residence.
 The original price asked for the paintings by the Rcd Brasher asso- ciates was $200, 0,000, but the commis- sion finally secured the lower offer, which in its report today, 1t rec- commended be accepted.
 Senator Michael V. Blansfeld of Waterbury introduced the bill in the legislature which authorized the creation of the special commission to negotiate the sale.

State Trade School In Waterbury Dwindles
Republican Sources Seem to Be Very Successful in Preventing Passage of BII-Chances to
 Pass Are About Eliminated
By RAYMOND J. FITZPATRICK
 Democrat Legislative RepOrter)

State Capitol, Hartford, May D. Waterbury's chances of securing a State Trade School seem to be dwirdling as each passing day in- dicates that Republican sources arc meeting with success in preventing favorable report being brought in by the Appropriations Committee.
 The Democrat learned today that Republican manufacturers in both Waterbury and New Haven were now interesting themselves in the hold-up and that some had even gone SO far as to notify Republican state headquarters that they were opposed to such tactics and wanted to see the bills passed 50 that ade- quate trade school facilities might be provided in the localities where defense manufacturing demands this training.
 It Is very definite that direct orders have gone out from Re- publican headquarters to hold-up the Trade School bills, but the un- fortunate part of such action is that the bills will probably not be reported out now until the closing days of the session. When this is done there will be no funds available in the state budget to care for these projects and they will be valueless and both Waterbury and New Haven will lose out on the schools com- pletely.
 Back It Went Again
 It is reported that members Of the committee after 6 conference with the governor and Waterbury legislators earlier this week, during which time complete assurance was given that the bill would be re- ported out favorably almost im- mediately, went back into an execu- five session and voted to let the pills wait until the budget had been ,aken care of first.
 It is also reported that Senator

he told Superior Judge Harry F. Sewell yesterday, that he accom- panied Mrs. Brummel to Tiajuana, Mexico. for a quick divorce. He married Mrs. Peppin and his for- mer wife collected $10,0O0.
 Mrs. Peppin had the marriage an- nulled last year, charging the Mexi- can divorce was not legal.
 He told the judge he wanted a divorce from Mrs. Brummel, and his share of the rent.
 Mrs. Brummel, angular and long, llosed said the $l0,0O0 wasn't rent: it was a gift. She sad Mrs. Peppin had come to her in the autumn of 1887.

Pittsneld, Mass, May 2-(UP)- The mercy killing" of Mrs. Helen Silliman, 34. and the dynamite cap suicide of her husband was re- vealed today when their bodies were found in their home near two notes that gave step-by -step account of the tragedy.

Through His Newspaper United States Is Called

Rome. May 2 - (U.P.) Tn, Axis now regards the United States as 8 100 per cent enemy" Benitc Mussolini's newspaper, Popol DItalia of Milan, asserted today.
 Its article, written by Mario Ap. pelius, leading military and political commentator, was taken as an au- thoritative statement of the Axis view of Americas position in the international situation.
 The attitude Of the Washington government toward Italy, Japan, Germany, Hungary, Bulgaria, Ru- mania, Slovakia and Croatia, Is the attitude of an enemy and merits be- ing treated as such," Appelius wrote. "On the other hand, the Axis attitude toward the United States can be summed up in eight points:
 First, the Axis never nourished hatred against the United States or the United States people.
 Second, the Axis now feels the government is 100 per cent enemy motivated by the black est intentions.
 "Third, the Axis notes with amazement that Roosevelt's despo- tic will is stronger than the so- called sovereign will of the North people and eminent men such as Hoover and Lindbergh are

GENERAL MOTORS
 IS FOUND GUILTY
Violation of Antitrust Laws Is Upheld By Court
 of Appeals ~

Chicago, May 2-(UP)-The United States circuit court of appeals to- day upheld the conviction of the General Motors corporation and three afiiliated firms charged with violation of anti-trust laws.
 Companies convicted were: Gen. eral Motors Corp, General Motors Sales O., General Motors Accept ance Corp, and General Motors Acceptance Corp. of Indiana.
 Each firm had been fined 5000 by District Judge Walter 0. Lindley of Illinois in district court at South Bend, Ind, November IS, 1889.
 The indictment returned May 27. 1888, charged the corporations had attempted to "tnonopolize and con- trol" financing the sale of General Motors cars.
 The jury acquitted Alfred P. Sloan, chairman of the board, and William s. Knudsen, then president, now director general of the office of production management, and 17 other individual executives.
 Tt is clear" said the unanimous decision of the appeals court, "that the evidence in this case tends to show a conspiracy having as its purpose the control by the appel lants of dealers financing. Testi- mony by certain defendants relat- ing to the executives conference in 1925 would indicate that the url- derstanding reached was to compel General Motors dealers to use CMAC terms x K 1t is even plain CT that the jury finding of coercion is supported by the evidence. The coercive practices were many and varied and they directly aimed to OMAC in financing the wholesale compel dealer-purchasers to use
