Court Action Prepared
Continued from Page 1)

Continued from Page 1) by the defense following filing of further court papers by the plain tiffs' counsel this summer.
 Attorney Frederick H. Water house is listed as counsel for Leary and is expected to continue in a legal capacity for the ex-controller throughout the proceedings.
 Delayed Closings
 Closing of the pleadings was de- layed last year by the illness of At torney George H. Cohen of Hart ford, who was originally retained by the city for the civil action. At torneys Gager and Johnson entered the case late last year.
 The litigation was started in Feb ruary, 1888 by the Good Govern ment Association, but the city, which entered it as 8 co-plaintiff, is now the principal plaintiff.
 When the city last January filed a more specific statement, in which it listed the excess expenditures made during Leary's terms as con- troller, it pointed out certain city records which would show the over- drafts and excesses were in Hart ford and still impounded by the state. Shortly thereafter the super for court gave permission for trans fer of the records here for use in connection with the case.

Goose Fish, Frog Fish; Ugly

Los Angeles, July 2l.-(UP)-Dr. Howard R. Hill said today that Edward Rowe Snow, Boston ilis- torian, didn't know a lophius pis- catorius when he saw one.
 Hill said the CYeatue Snow pulled up while fishing of Boston was an L. F. or goose fish" and not a rare sea monster or hangover from 20,00O,0O0 years ago.
 T don't like to ruin anyone's fish story" Hill said after reading news dispatches from Boston telling of the historians hook.
 Snow, Boston harbor historian, described his catch as a mottled monstrosity of apout 90 pounds. He said he had two slirny antenna, hand-like fins, sharp teeth and a pair of handlike scoops in its gull let.
 Dr. Hill, shown pictures of Shows monster, said it was frequently found in the North Atlantic and travelled under the common names of goose fish or frog fish.
 The antenna are elongations of the dorsal fin, Hill said. The hand like apendages in the gullet are a type of protuberance common to many fish gullets, Hill explained.
 He said lophious piscatorious roamed the North Atlantic at any, where from 30 to 240 fathoms
 He agred that is was a messy looking thing.

Bulgaria, Greece, Yugoslavia, Ru- mania, Poland, Bohemia and even into the western Catholic states, including Vichy-France. By the end of 1944, 1t was variously esti- mated that there were between 1 1-2 and two million stateless persons of all origins throughout the world.
 The Evian conference of 1888, convoked at the request of Presi- dent Roosevelt, brought together 32 nations but brought no relief. The White Russians" have gotten along sufficiently well for 25 years on NanSen passports. France has re- gently decided to give that same status to 100000 Spanish Republi- cans, the fiotsam on French soil of the collapsed Spanish Republican army in 1888.
 New Countries for All
 No country Is willing to open its doors to the million or more state- less humans of Europe. The solu- tion of the problem must be found in settling them in new homes not far from their former homes. There has been a steady shift of thousands of stateleSs Jews to Palestine where the Jewish population has increased from S4.000 in 1922 to 500,000 in l944-a jump in the Jewish popuIa- tion of Palestine from II to 30 per cent.

Another 200 heavy and medium bombers and fighters from Mac Arthur's command ripped up five airdromes and dock facilities at Shanghai in their second straight raid on the Chinese port. Large fires were set all over the target area and nine grounded Japanese planes were destroyed or damaged.
 F0rmosa Attacked
 ~Formosa also came under attack by a smaller force of heavy bombers and fighters of the FifthsAir Force that set fire to two grounded planes on the Natsuyama airfield and rip- ped up runways and hangars.
 An unusually brief communique from fleet Admiral Chester W. Nim- itz's headquarters said planes of Fleet Air Wing IS set small coast al vessel aflre of the southern coast of Honshu and damaged medium sized .freighter.
 Okinawa dispatches said the Jap anese had resumed their aerial nui- sance raids on that area, although on a relatively small scale. Two enemy planes were shot down by anti-aircraft fire Wednesday night and three more crashed in the area Thursday night, causing minor damage"
 There was no indication that the Japanese had brought into action their boasted new weapon, appar- ently a variation of the Baka pilot ed bzomb. Tokyo said it was being produced in large quantities and saved for the opportune moment, the invasion.

Much Accomplished
 At Potsdam Session
(Continued from Page 1.),

although the latter has made a great point of recognition of MT. Truman as 8 senior state head.
 Churchill went out of his way at MT. Truman's state dinner Thurs day night to show his appreciation of American customs by asking the American soldier pianist there to play the Missouri waltz, which is becoming to the President what Home On The Range" was to the late Franklin D. Roosevelt.
 On the record to date, official announcements have stressed the social rather than the business side of the conference and no de- tails of the actual discussions have been made public. It is known, how ever, that official negotiations have been carried on during the social meetings and possibly some of the most material progress of the con- ference has been made at those affairs.
 Reports continued to circulate among British observers that Churchill would leave for London next week for the announcement of the British election returns on July 26. That, of course, would be contingent upon the progress of the conference.
 If the meeting has not been con- cluded by that time, it was con- sidered possible that Churchill would make quick trip to Lon- don for the returns and then fly back to Potsdam for the confer ence windup.
