ENEWY OF FASCISH WOULD TALK ERE Scbool Board Comitie to Cor- : sider Use of Hall Meeting tomorrow to consider a request for use of central junior high school auditorium for a lecture on fascism, the finance committee of the school board will study into the nature of the lecture and determine | ‘whether, in its opinion, it is & propeg subject for discussion in a public achool. Prof. Gaetano S8alvemini, an op- ponent of fascism since its inception, | has boen engaged as the speaker. Application for'use of the audi- torium was made by Frederick Ghm‘ of ¢0 Commonwealth avenue, who is; in charge of local arrangements. H The lecturer held the chair of history at Florence university, and was a member of the Italian parlia- ment for several sessions. His op- position to the fascisti regime prompted his withdrawal from Italy in 1926, and he has been lecturing in England and the United States for nearly three years. It has been the custom of the school committee to refer questions &3 to the use of auditoriums to ity aub-committee on finance, whose members are Louis W, Young, Jo- seph M. Halloran and William H. Day, This is the first instance of en application for use of a school building for the purpose of ex- pounding the principles of fascism and the objections thereto. A letter urging favorable action on the request has been forwarded to Chairman Young of the finance committee by J. B. Allee of 101 Har- rizon street, who wrote: “Mr. Louis W. Young. “The Stanley Works, C “Dear 8ir: “At my suggestion. Mr. Frederi Ghio has applied at the office of the board for the use of the auditorium at the Central Junior High school ! about two weeks hence for the pur-| pose of having given a free public lecture by Prof. G. Balvemini on the nature and meaning of the fascist theory of government and its signifi- cance in republican institutions in America. “Mr. Ghio was informed that by reason of the subject of the lecture, the matter must be passed upon by your committce on finance at its meeting next Tuesday. Prof, S8alvemini was formerly pro- fessor of history at the University of Florence, and more recently, I un- derstand, a lecturer at the University of Oxford, kngland. His work ‘The Fascist Dictatorship in Italy’ was culled to my attention a couple of years ago by a favqrable review' in the New York Herald Tribune. You will please examine a copy of this Look herewith. “The cstablishment of dictator- ships in many countries in Furope and the advocacy of the fascist iheories by some prominent Amer cans, renders this question, in my estimation, a maiter of vital concern 16 every thoughtful American citi- zen. “Recently Mr. Richard Washburn Child, former Amcrican ambassador to Italy, has published a book: ‘The ‘Writing on the Wall,’ described in & book review section of a New York newspaper, as ‘an argument that democracy is played out!'

DOCTORS BALK AT FREE EXAMINATIONS (Continuzd from First Page) ices without cost, whenever parents could not pay. Relations Reported Strained It has been stated on good au- thority that association between the New Britain Medical society and the school committee has not been the most friendly on several occasions. The work of the medical bureau is actively supervised and directed by persons not of the medical profes- sion, since there is no physician on the school board, and it is .also pointed out that when Dr. J. E. Martin was the only medical man on the board, he was not elected by his associates to the sub committee on health and sanitation. In connection with the doctors’ re- fusal to enter into the plan of the parents and teachers’ the request of the Y. W. C. A. was discussed and frankly criticized. All young women enrolled in athletic classes and for swimming lessons are required to present a certificatc showing them to be free from heart and skin diseases and otherwise ac- ceptable. The examination required is more extensive than that given for life insurance applicants, for which a fee of $5 is paid the doctor. The officials of the Y. W. C. A., it is said, proposed, in writing, a fee of 50 cents a case. “xamined Many Babies Another instance of free profes- sional service mentioned was that of the Knights of Columbus. A re- cent exposition included a popularity contest and a baby show. In this case, the medical socicty was not approached, but the individual doc- tors were circulized and asked to devgte an hour or two on one morn- ing to the examination of babies. The socicty not having taken a stand, the doctors were in somewhat of a quandary and several responded to the request, giving of their tin without compensatlon. Similar re- quests will henceforth be consider- ed to be in the me category as that of the parent-teacher group. Another practice frowned upon, but on which no definite action was taken was that of soliciting medical men for advertisements in souvenir programs or for donations for charitable works not included in the activities of the Community Chest. It is claimed that the professional men receive more requests of this nature than any other group in the city. Since advertising is barred by the ethics of their profession, they are often prevailed upon to place a complimentary advertisement as coming from * ‘riend,” and they resent being taxed for something from which no possible benefit can come to them.

Alcorn, who returns from Washington tonight. The coronet will not hold a formal inquest. Hickey not only said he was pleased with the results of the hos- pital pathologist's analysis, but also that because he had discovered handkerchiefs in the Huntington manrsion here that were identical to ihose in the student's pockets, his suicide case i1s “clinched.” Members of the family owned all the handkerchiefs in the youth's pockets, he declared, including the woman's, the one initialed “H" and that initialed *( - Homicide, Dr. Costello Insists Dr. Costello reiterated today tha statemeft he made in his report that Huntington's death was homicide, uot icide. *To accept the suicide » declared, “two facts must be accounted for. They are the absence of powder marks or burns about the wound and the absence of the gun. “Humington could not have thrown that gun away.

But he has consistently maintained in his public assertions that, des- pite these medical aspects, he be- lieved Huntington's death to have been a guicide. He reiterated thuse statements again today. Hickey Keeps Mind Open “I have not discarded the theory of suicide,” he said again, “but I am keeping an open mind in the mat. ter and am working on all angies of the case.” Whatever these angles are, Hickey is keeping them to himself. He has been decidedly active in the last 24| hours—and decidedly uncommuaica- tive. Hickey was in Windsor until after midnight last night. He admitted this morning. to one of the out-of- town reporters who asked him this morning where he was last night, Hickey replied with a grin. “Herc in the drug store in Windsor, listen- ing to vou while my wife was hawl- ing you out for ringing the phone and getting her ont of hed. it on what he was doing In Windsor he declined to comment be- vond saying he was “just working on various angles.” Hickey came to Windsor this morning to check up on some more angles.” Residents Heard Auto Tt was revealed this noon that twa persons living near Murphy farm and across Tariffville road from th: Try it today.

They were question- ed by Hickey, who said their infor mation was without value. Neither person could discern the occupant of occupants of the automobile. He made an unsuccessful check up of garages in and about Windsur in quest of this and other cars which in his opinion might have been used, if a homicide theory was entertain. ed, by the slayer or slayers. Mi-. Howard R. Pratt, whose right front window overlooks Murphy farm, said that ‘‘sometime before daylight around 3 o'clock she heard a high powered car “roar” by.

She said traffic on the road ceases usually about 11 o’clock and does nét resume until late in the morning and therefore the noise of the ma- chine attragted her attention. Her husband, one of the first in- terviewed by Hickey, said he had not known of the car at the time. Later, he gave this information to the detective. James Pratt, his brother, who tives about 100 yards nearer town, also heard the car, be- cause of its noise and because his own bedroom window was open, and looked after it. He said the time was a ‘little after 3 a. m.” Agree on Hour of Death Both ‘Hickey and Dr. Costello agree on 3 o'clock as the time of the shooting, for when the body was removed at 8 o'clock Wednesday morning, it was still warm and limp. | bloed still flowed from the wound. In the autopsy, held shortly after the body was removed, Dr. Costello found rigor mortis “was not well marked.” Hickey expressed ‘“amazement” when told that Miss Gertrude M.
