 They were bound over to Federal Court at New Haven for the Sep temher term. The stamp fraud sec- tion of the Federal criminal code. under which the first actions have been brought, carries with 1t on conviction, fine and jail sentence.
 The government was represented at the arraignment by Thomas L Dodd, Jr., special assistant to the U. s. Attorney General.

The lst Army was expected to capture Siedlce, half way between Brest Litovsk and Warsaw, almost momentarily. Soviet troops already were fighting in the streets of the city and the railway running west to Warsaw was cut yesterday at Ceg- low, 2l miles to the west.
 Momentum
 The Russian push across south- ern Poland toward Krakow and German Silesia Alo was gathering momentum following the capture yesterday of the twin strongholds Of Przenysl and Jaroslaw on the San river by Marshal Ivan s. Konev's lst Ukrainian army.
 The Germans threw the 24th tank division into battle straight from the march in an attempt to prevent the fall of the two passions, but the SoyietS routed it and seized the cities. The Jaroslaw garrison was encircled and "liquidated," the So- viet high command said in its mid- night conlmunique.
 Konev's army also advanced to within l3 miles of the Czechoslovak frontier on a 20-mile front an cap- tured Perehinki, 27 miles from the Vyshkov pass through the CaF- pathian mountains.
 At the northern end of the blaz- ing 75O-mile eastern front, Gen. Ivan c. Bagranaian's lst army famed out from the captured Lithuanian rall- way junction of Slauliai at the rate of more than 8 mile an hour in an effort to trap some 20 enemy divisions in Latvia and Estonia.
 One column pounded 25 miles north of Jonis..is. 30 miles south of Riga and seven miles from the Latvian border. Capture of Riga

News of the week is that Sena- tor John Sullivan of New Britain might be in line for the office of executive secretary to the gOver- nor, if and when a Democratic eg0vern0r in the person of Leo W. Gaffney, also of New Britain, is elected. Senator Sullivan's pOIi- tical career was somewhat dis tuFbed this past spring by his faiI- ure to win the may0ralty nOmi- nation. He has been mentioned as . possible congressional nOmi- nee. either In the first district or at-large, but has not announced himself on this subject. On the subject of the state senate, though, a week age he publicly stated he was not going tO seek renomination.

Other than indicating his desire to seek public office the stand of Judge Max Spelke of Stamford at the Democratic National Contention on the vice-presidential nomination more or less petered out. It was through his insistent leadership that the delegates went counter to the advice and expressed desire of Sem ator Maloney and voted l6 to 2 to stick with Vice-President Wallace on all ballots. Senator Maloney had no objection to a first ballot vote for Wallace, but apparently knew what was n the cards for the Senate pre- siding officer. for he (Maloney) urged the delegation not to bind it. self on further ballots. Had this been done the delegation might have been on the Truman band-wagon in the second ballot rolI-call. As it was Connecticut was just one of many incoherent endorsers in the tunlnft that accompanied the break and swing" to Truman.

Playground Collection
OF Paper Lags; Drive
To Be Strengthened

The results Of the first three days
OF waste paper collection at the
public Fairgrounds have been dis
appointing, but those supporting the
drive are hopeful that next week will
see an improvement.
Need for waste paper is so urgent
that every effort must be made to
bring in every bit which can be
obtained. For this reason, the
Recreation Department is filling In
the gaps left in The Eevening Star
PTA Salvage-for- Victory program
when most schools were closed for
the summer.
Lack of success during the first
part of this week is due to the
limited number Of Fairgrounds
which had paper rather than to
small collections at those which did.
Best results will be obtained when
the children who attend the play
grounds realize how small individ-
ual collections grow into sizable piles
when all participate. Persons living
near the Fairgrounds are urged to
give their accumulations to children
on the way to the centers or drop
them OF when driving by to work or
to the markets.
Seriousness of the shortage of
waste paper is increased because of
the quantity which goes out of the
country in the form of cartons, bomb
81 rings shell cases and the numerous
other articles shipped to the fighting
fronts.
One more collection will be made
this week at the following play
grounds:
Rosedale KenilWorth
River Terrace Langston
Crummeu, Burrville
Deanwood Logan
Smothers Parkside
Lovejoy
Monday the full schedule will be
resumed and advance notice will be
published Of the days and locations
Of the collection centers.
The following schools also will be
visited tomorrow:
Kingsman Madison
Pierce Taylor
Hayes Wheatley
Seaton Merritt

His 80 Is A Family has in 1t the
who is homely, acidulous, the butt
of jokes and altogether one of the
laugh centerS of this comedy about
paternity in wartime. Ethel Owen
had played the role since the play
opened last spring, but she had
been i'll and out of the cast on sew
eral occasions recently. Besides she
had some fllm commitments in
the offing and it was necessary for
her to have time for medical treat
ment before going to Hollywood.
In thinking of possible replace
ments, Golden wondered whether
he could get Una Merkel, whose
career began with him when he
produced pigs" back in the early
'20s She had been in several other
Of his plays, the last being salt
Water" in 1929-30, after which
she went into films and never came
back.
Phoebe and Henry Ephron, au-
thors of the play, were in Holly
wood and Golden deputized them
to breach the subject to Miss Mer-
KEEL. She expressed enthusiasm,
saying she had desired for seven
years to get back to the stage, but
that nothing ever seemed to come
along. Besides. sch was scared to
death" of going back and would
appreciate getting into something
that already was established so she
would not have to go through a
first night.
Putting Miss Merkel in the role,
OF course, necessitated some con-
siderable changes because for all
her 20 years in the business She
does not answer the description
"homely, middle-aged maiden sis
ter" So the part became that of a
younger sister, various pieces of
business were changed and Miss
Merkel added few touches of her
own. She stepped into the cast on
Tuesday evening without benefit
OF advance notice and came off
with honors.
A LFRED DE LIAGORE, JR., has
