0rson WeIIes Warns
u. ). Faces Threat Of
Fascist Resurgence

Orson Welles, actor and producer
turned political columnist and lee
turer, warned here yesterday that
America faces the threat of a "re-
surgence of the Fascist conspiracy
after the war.
He told a National Press Club
luncheon gathering that indications
OF such a menace have caused him
to devote most of his time to po-
itical affairs in the hope of "being
some kind of influence for good"
but that he had no aspirations to
run for anything"
Mr.. Welles described himself as
liberal, but not Communist, and
said he did not like professional lib
erals very much because most of
them enjoy being in the minority" !"
He asserted there is no danger
from Communism in this country
"as long as we have a true democ-
racy."
Active in the last election cam
paign as a member of the Executive
Committee of the CIO Political
Action Committee, Mr.. Welles said
he did not believe the future of the
progressive cause can be entrusted
to labor organization alone" but
there should be united front of
progressives in labor, business and
agriculture.
He declared he believed there is
a chance to do away with world
wars in the future, but not to avoid
small wars. THE way to do away
with world wars" he said, is to have
enough border skirmishes and po-
Icing incidents to keep down ag-
preSSorS"

Hotel Owner in Suit
 Plaintiff Claims
 Radiator Fell on Foot

Claiming he was injured when a hallway radiator at the Chatfield Corners Hotel at 68-70 Canal street fell on his foot and toes, James Brown of Waterbury today filed $2,5OO civil action in Com mon Pleas Court against the owners, Eugene c. and Berlyl G. Newton of New York City.
 The plaintiff, who states he lost earnings of $125 weekly at the Scovill Mfg. Co. for several weeks as a result of the injuries, charges the owners with negligence for per- mitting the radiator to remain dis connected. The accident occurred last Dec. 31 while he was a guest at the hotel.
 Litigation based on a disability clause in an insurance policy was instituted in Superior Court today by Nathan Luria of Waterbury, who seeks 5000 damages from the Prudential Insurance Go. of Waterbury.
 The complaint states the plain tiff took out $3,000 policy in 1922, and that provision was made for payment of $50 monthly if he be- came totally and permanently dis abled berore he reached the age of SO. He states he became totally disabled in 1884 but that the company has refused to make dis ability payments, claiming he had reached the age of 60 before dis ability occurred.
 It is also alleged that the company increased the annual premium to conform with the age it claimed the plaintiff had reach ed. A return of the 'over-pay- ments," in addition to $50 monthly, is sought.
 Also entered on the Superior Court docket today was a $3,000 suit by the Brookside Diaries, Inc. of Waterbury against Kate F. Car penter of Br;dgewater. The Htiga- tion, entered in the form of conn mon court writ, is baced on an al leged debt of $2,616.55 contracted before last Nov. 19. Details will be supplied in an amended complaint later.
