A scar on his head where a beer mug crashed as Rudolf Hess badge of honor.
 He acquired it while acting as bouncer at one of the beer hall meetings where NaziSm was born. Even then he was Adolf Hitler's pri- vate secretary and most intimate friend. For % years more-until last week--he was slavish in his de- votion to Hitler and the party; Q man conceded even by his enemies to be incorruptable, so devoted to a cause that his personal life was ascetic.
 Like Hitler he was a vegetarian. He neither drank nor smoked. Un- like Hermann Goering and other NaM leaders he passed up all op- portunities to get rich at the ex- pense of Nazi party victims or Ger man-conquefed nations.
 These facts, and the cold, precise manner of the man. his blind faith in Nazism, the esteem and author ity that he enjoyed under Nazi rule, all made his flight to Britain (Continued ca Page N

 Democrat Legislative Reporter)

State Capitol, Hartford, May l3- The State Senate calendar today re- sembled dictionary in size. Its bulk has been produced in the last week through action of the Democratic side in holding up all action on all measures coming from the House Cities and Boroughs Committee.
 Apparently the calendar will be- come even bulkier this week., for legislators could see no way out of the tangle which has ensued since the Waterbury charter revision and trade school appropriation bills were shelved in the House. There seems to be hn agreement among leaders to let all the bills 90 through, in- cluding Waterbury's and other charter measures, but no one knows just what steps are to be taken first.
 Senators Edward P. Egan and Michael V. Blansfield of Waterbury today backed up very strongly the statement of Mayor Vincent A. Scully, issued yesterday, in which he said there would be no "horse- trad ing" to get the Waterbury bills ap- proved at Hartford.
 A delegation of Waterbury fire- men were at the Capitol this morn ing and early afternoon urging

 London, May 13-(UP)-Reports spread through London today that Rudolf Hess, Na2i No. 3 and one of Adolf Hitler's closest aides, was ready to disclose to the government the secrets of Germany's war plans and internal situation. These reports were unconfirmed; officials were close-lipped.
 It was known only to high off, cials whether Hess, held incommun- icado at a secret place after having been moved from 8 Glasgow Hos pital, was revealing some Of the secrets of Germany's war plans and It's internal condition.
 But in a usually reliable quarter 1t was asserted that his statements indicated that he had undergone a change of heart, that he believed Germany was headed for disaster and that he was eager to dissociate himself from present Na1 policy in order to escape responsibility for It.

 The concern holds $33,6l4,830 in government contracts for machine guns, revolvers, artillery parts and other war materials.
 State labor Department Concilia- tor Morgan R. Mooney immediately moved into the negotiations to af- feet an early settlement of the dispute. Police threw heavy guards around the plant, but there were no disorders.
