Relatives Acting in Deaths of Murder Victims at Che-
 shire ReformatOry

(By Democrat Legislative RepOrterl
 State Capitol, Hartford, May l. The General Assembly's committee on claims this afternoon was to take up bills providing for the reim- bursement of the estate of Mir. and Mrs. John Beall of Cheshire, who were beaten to death by an escap- ing inmate of the Cheshire reforma- tory last fall. The fleeing prisoner, John Saitkowski, is now serving a life sentence at the state peniten- tiary.
 John Beall was employed as an overseer at the reformatory and lived with his wife, Susan in a small cottage. Saitkowski, a trusty, was captured in Massachusetts af- ter the couple had been found lying brutally beaten. MT. Beall died within a short time of injuries which examination showed had been inflicted by a hammer; Mrs. Beall fingered for several months but she also succumbed.
 The bill for John Bea1l would re. ilnburse his estate for the loss o1 his life, while the bill for Mrs. Beall calls only for the reimbursement of her estate for medical and hospital bills.
 A hunt for Saitkowski, begun or discovery of the fatally beaten couple, ended with his arrest after @ visit to Massachusetts girl friend.

 Patrolma:n Dunn offered no wit nesSes or defense for his conduct. Sergeants Walter Ahern, James J, Kiernan mad Patrick Hillborg, and Captain Fred Hickey testified.
 Tip to All Cops!
 Chairman Verriker, after an- nouncing the penalty, told the acc cused that the police board will not tolerate any member of the force drinking while on duty. He added that the board took into considera- tion the patrolman's % years of service before passing sentence and thought the board was lenient In It's decision. However, he added, the board will not treat you SO lenient- ly the second time. Policemen, he concluded, who report under the Influence of liquor while in uni- form, possess a small sense of re- sponsibility, a possession which positively must be adjusted,

SEN. BURTON K.
 WHEELER SPEAKS
Appears in Boston Before Overflow Audience to
 Rap Roosevelt

Boston, May 1-(UP)-U. s Sen. Burton K. Wheeler of Mon. tana, Democratic 1solationlst lead. CT, says the American people have been softened for @ declaration oi war.
 "only one final step remains he told an America First committee meeting that damned Symphony hall last night and over.flowed tt the street. And that step will come If the American people accept pa. trols and conveys"
 "After that you will not be asked to accept war. You will be ordered into battle"
 The capacity crowd of about 2s0C cheered and applauted for Col Charles A. Lindbergh. who recent ly resigned his U. s. Army Ar Corps Reserve Commission, and booed President Roosevelt, Prime Minister Winston Churchill and Wendell Willkie.
 When misses broke out after Wheeler mentioned the president the senator said, We must show re- spect for the office he occupies"
 Wheeler insisted 1t was President Roosevelt's intention to send battle- ships and men to European shores, and an unidentified woman in the audience shouted:
 "Oh, no he isn't"
 Wheeler Says He Knows
 "Oh, yes he Is my fine lady," Wheeler replied. 1T know exactly what I'm talking about"
 Yesterday the president stated that American patrols would enter war zones," Wheeler said. "This will, in all probability, mean war. If you accept patrols and conveys without protest to your congress men, to your senator and to your presidentv-they will send this nation to its democratic doom-to war"
 Wheeler charged that the pres- ident would violate the constitution and repudiate his oath of office If he ordered conveys or patrols through war zones.
 ITO convoy is to war, and only congress can declare war;" Wheeler said. ITO wage an undeclared war violates the constitution and con- voys or patrols mean shooting, and shooting is certainly war, declared or tlndeclared."
 Wheeler Born I'm Mass.
 The 59-year-old senator who was born at Hudson (Mass.) said Pres ident Roosevelt now owes the Amer jean people the same assurance that the nation will remain at peace that he gave them before election last November.
 He declared the president could not dodge the issue of conveys by calling them patrols.
 Because our president has not seen fit to lead the nations of the world to sanity and peace," Inc said, "Let us today appeal for divine guidance to the leadership of The Pope of all the great Protes- tant churches and of ell

MIDSUMMER
 HEAT COSTLY Lack of Rain Responsible for Many Brush Fires
 in April

Five rainy days in April with a total precipitation of less than one inch of rain is the sad, sad, story Of the driest shower month record ed in Waterbury for the past 55 years, study of the official wealth CT bureau data reveals today.
 As If the .92 precipitation were not enough to break the hearts of local firemen, who answered an amazing mark of 566 fire alarms last month, the weather took a page from Mark Twain and gave New Englanders midsummer heat waves. Six times the thermometer leaped over the 30 mark, three times above 85, and once, on April 20. Mark Twain smiled as the re- cording fluid hit 89.
 The weather was just fine and dandy for the average man, but for foresters and firemen throughout the East 1t provided the finest head ache in the past 55 years, for not since 1892 has April wandered from its traditional task.
 May flowers? The state reservoirs are low; the soil Is dry, and mere warm breath Is enough reason for thirsty grass and brush to burn up.
