 Be Busy By June

Hartford, Conn.,, Jan. 6-fUP)-- Mrs. Ralph c. Lasbury, Jr., chair man of the State Defense Councils women's division, said today that more than 87,OOO women would ce working in Connecticut def Il 5 e plants by June and an immediate program was needed to provide Tor children whose mothers have re- sponded to the war effort.
 We know that ttere are great many children on the loose" said Mrs. Lasbury. Various attempts have been made by schools, author ities, local welfare officials and the councils of social agencies but, thus far, we haven't even begun to solve the proble:.l. There are a n umber of excellent recognized agencies which car help working mothers by caring for their chil- dren, but until it is brought home to the parents themselves that their offspring should h ve adequate care, we will be unable to provide for it."
 The women's division of the coun- ell, she said, should ascertain what facilities are available and "offer their cooperation to any agency which can increase these facilities where they are needed"

Chicago, Jan. 6 -(UP)- Enrico Caruso, 3S, son of the late operatic tenor, struggled through drama in Chicago police court.
 He boarded a bus en route to his job in an art store yesterday and clung to a strap when he could find no seat. A few minutes later, Miss Madeline Nelson, 38, a beauty par Tor worker, entered the bus. Soon there was fight in the back and the driver summoned Policeman Os- car Bahnf1eth, who found Caruso trying to fend off eight screaming women. He was taken to court on disorderly conduct charge.
 Miss Nelson told her story to Judge Leon Edelman: ''This man was blocking my path to the rear of the bus. I tried to squeeze past hin. gently. He wouldn't budge. I tried again, using little more pressure.

 Caruso was equally indignant. T did not know the lady wanted 10 pass me-" he said. T did not step on her foot, but I did slap her when she showed me and called me a beetle. She is no lady, Edelman suggested that Caruso apologize. CaruSo said he was sorry he had slapped Miss Nelson. Then she in- sisted that he also apologize for asserting she was no lady, but Ca- ruso was reluctant. Finally. after a whispered conference with Miss Nelson. he acquiesced Edelman dismissed the case.

London, Jan. 6 ---(UP)- Long, strained relations between the Vichy government and the German con- queror seemed to be reaching a crisis today but France was merely the center of smouldering unrest spreading through the countries under the heel of Germany or with in the German orbit
 Bitter cold which had swept all Europe and Asia Minor, increasing the human suffering from hunger and deficiency diseases, intensified a general situation which bright ened the hope in London that the day would come when an anti German explosion among oppressed people would provide the spark for a continental invasion.
 The latest report was that King Christian of Denmark. had threat ened to abdicate if the Germans continued to insist that his country enact anti-JeWish laws similar to those of Germany.
 This report came from Stockholm. The Danish legation there told the United Press that it was without knowledge of the report. The spokesman refused to say whether he knew that the Germans had made such demands as those re- ported.

constantly made innuendos about

loans" and "scandalous transac-
tions"
Whens some of Lees friends
pressed Triesler for details he re-
piled there was no secret about it,
that all the CORY details were con-
tanned in the public records of the
Circuit Court of Allegany County
at Cumberland. A look at these
records has convinced the politi-
cos that had Triesler really gone
to town with the dynamite he had.
instead of muffling it, he might
readily have polished off Glenn in
the primaries. Or, as someone
said, he would have rung the Beall!
So potent is the material about
Beall and some of his associates
that Beall's advisers have caution
ed him to lie low for awhile aDd
avoid getting on the same stand
with Lee. Result is that the Frost
burg race-horse player lodged two
big meetings, one at Silver Spring
and one in his own back yard at
Cumberland Now that the lime
light is focused on Beall, many of
his hackers including McKeldin
are blushing to their hair roots and
are a bit sore at Beall for not dis
cussing this phase of his past more
frankly with them at the outset.

BEALL'S FINANCIAL POST 90
The now-open records show that
Beall got out from under in 1898
with the total payment of 15c on
the dollar. He was able to settle
a total Indebtedness, including in
terest, of some $4,000 for a cash
payment of approximately $4,000.
Brooke Lee, on the other hand,
when his affairs got hit by the de-
preston, kept his banks open,
took the judgments in his stride.
refused TO go through bankruptcy
and to date has paid off SO per cent
of his debt. He still stands liable
one hundred per cent for the bal

All of this is coming out into the
open and the pot which tried to
call the kettle black is burning up.
Furthermore, political capital is
being made Of Bealls former asso-
citation with Robert Amman, one
time banker and political leader of
Garrett and Allegany counties,
who served a sentence for his part
