 Mrs. Steadman gave Emery IS sleeping tablets, part of a recently purchased supply of 200, in glass of milk, according to authorities, and as he became unconscious, tied rope about his neck and strangled him.
 Then Mrs. Steadman told police she sat down and penned two notes one to her father, Francis J. Stan wood. a New England Power associa- ton auditor, and the other to Scot tie Benyie, Medfield filling station proprietor and friend of Emery.
 Only Saturday, police said, Stan wood had tried to convince his daughter and Emery they should return to their homes.

Harvard Business school secretary and wife of a Pitts burgh, Pa., insurance executive, had confessed to police today that She killed her married lover, Robert G.. Emery, 26, Natick real estate dealer, and then attempted suicide because of despondency over their inability to wed.
 The attractive blonde, recovering at hospital from an overdose of sleeping tablets, was reported in good" condition by attaches. Po- lice said a murder warrant would be sought against her in municipal court today.
 The tragedy was discovered late yesterday when a chimney-Sweep, peering through a window of Mrs. Steadman,s west. end apartment, saw Q man on the floor. He entered

We had hurt them and we couldn't forget that. It wouldn't have worked. I know that now. Please go to see if Ruthie (Mrs. Emery) is being taken care of ."
 Mrs. Steadman who graduated with her husband from Needham high school in 1881, was described in her claSsbook as noted for her 'viyacity, blondness and athletic ability"

SABOTAGE BILLS
 ARE INTRODUCED
Will Provide Stiff Penal ties for Those Who Try
 to Hurt Nation

Hartford, Conn.,, Jan. 22-CUP)- Bills providing stiff penalties for sabotage and authorizing the crea- tion of an emergency military force ito defend the state," were intro duced today in the legislature by House Majority Leader William L. Hadden, R., Orange.
 The anti-sabotage m asure, drafted by Attorney General Fran ciS A. Pallotti, set a maximum pen alty of a $10.O00 fine or 10 years in prison, or both, for any deliberate attempt to damage national defense property.
 It also provided fine of $50 or 10 days in jail for treSpaSsing on posted property and a penalty of not less than one year in jail for any attempt to hinder, delay or in- terfere' with defense property or production.
 Selectmen or any community, or the highway commissioner, would be empowered to close any road in the state in the interests of defense.
 The bill, if enacted into law, would continue in effect until May 15, 1945.
 State Guard Bill
 The bill for creation of a Con- necticut state guard carries out the plan adopted last year to replace the National Guard units called into federal service.
 The personnel of the state guard would be composed of volunteers, preferably World War veterans, se- lected by the governor to form such. military force as the governor may deem necessary to defend the state"

insurance companies or set up by business concerns privately under their own system. The Blansfield- Egan bill provides for "Establish- ment of a Compulsory and Exclusive Workmen's Compensation Fund.-.
 Under its provisions disabled workmen would get full pay during the period of disability. At the present time they get only one half pay. Further it provides that employees contribute one per cent of their earnings to the fund until a sufficient reserve is accumulated. Employers would pay the premiums on the compensation insurance at a ratO based on the amount needed to operate the fund each year.
 Some Good Jobs Created.
 A number of new and extremely lucrative positions are created by the establishment of such fund. notably, that of administrator whicl, would be an eight-year ap- pointment at an annual salary of $lO,OOO. There would also be ere dOSQ GliC pOo1IlOIl O1 dNPdOJ etAAAAA istrator, an eight-year job at $7,5o0 a year.
 Creation of an advisory council of six members for three-year terms, but at no salary, is also provided.
 The legal aspects of the fund would be handled by a complete staff headed by general attorney, named for eight years at $l0,00O a year, and assisted by deputy gen. erl attorney, named for eight years at $7,500 a year, and as many more aides as would be required, each to receive $5,200 year.
 An initial appropriation of s100,- 900 is sought to set the fund in operation and there is further provision that an additional $100,- 900 be set up in the event of ca taStrophes.

Militia " authorities emphasized the strategic importance of the base. It has a good harbor on coast which has few of them. It is astride the coastal road which MuSSoltn1 built with the Seuz Canal in view. It dominates another main road 15 miles inland.
 Without the use of these two roads large scale Italian counter- attack would be impossible" an in- formant commented.
 Further, the British occupation of Tobruk renders many of Italy's main airdromes in Libya useless, because royal air force planes based in the Tobruk area can bomb them.
 The break through at Tobruk had come yesterday when Australians and men of a famous British regi- ment attacked with the bayonet.
 A seven day sand storm, one of the worst in the memory of bedouinS with the British forces, had delayed the final assaults on one of Italy'S chief bases and ports on the long Libyan coaStlipe. The storm began to clear Sunday. During the storm, royal air force planes and British warships had hurled death into the Italian stronghold. Early yesterday the planes and the guns of the navy started another terrible bar rage.
 With Tanks, ArmOred Cars
 British empire infantry attacked behind tanks and armored cars. Shortly after noon, a Cairo com munique disclosed, British and Aus tralian troops under a barrage by warships and planes broke through outer and inner defenses of Tobruk to a depth of more than five miles on broad front, and kept on going.
 One Italian general, the commun- ique said, was among the many prisoners already taken. The ground ed Italian cruiser San G:nrgio and numerous gasoline and supply dumps, fired by bombs and shells, were aflame.
 In their bayonet attack, the em- pire forces had broken through the 30-mile line of outer forts before

Washington, Jan. 22-(UP)-As- sociate Justice James c. McReynolds of the Supreme Court, one of the few remaining members of the so- called conservative group on the high bench, advised President Roose- welt today that he intends to retire on February l.
 This will give Mir Roosevelt op- portunity to appoint his sixth justice to the nine-man court.
 McReynolds advised the presi- dent, in a letter dated today, that he intended to avail himself of the rights granted under the law passed in 1887 permitting supreme court justices to retire at full pay of $20,- 900 when they reached the age of 70. McReynolds will be 79 on Feb ruary 3.
 The justice, who voted against many New Deal laws, pointed out to the president that he had served on the high bench continuously since 1914.
