London, Juge 21 (M—Buckets of water, foul smelling chemicals and live mice were the answer of 200 London students last night te-anti- vivisectionist arguments being pro- pounded at a meeting at Caxton Hall, Westminster. r The meeting was well under way when the students appeared, dump- ing the water and odorous chemi- cals on the audience from above, ‘and releasing the live mice from boxes. There were several lively scuffles and women of the audi- ence beat some of the studenws with their umbrellas. Dr. Hadwen, the chairman;, was prevented from speaking by the disturbers who finally were quelled by police, many of them suffering minor injuries. Dr. Hadwen after- ward complained of organized op- position from which he said the Union for Abolition of Vivisection had suffered for three years.

TRINDER DEFENDS FISCAL POLICIE Former Trade School Director Resents Hall Statement Hartford, June 21—Frederick J. Trinder, former director of voca- tional training activities for the state board of education, today an nounced that he would engage counsel to protect himself against criticism which culminated yester- day with . a statement by State Finance Commissioner Edward F. Hall that federal funds were mis- applied under Trinder's administra- tion. As director of vocational train- ing, Mr. Trinder had charge of the disbursing of federal funds allocated to the state of Connecticut under the fmith-Hughes act. Accountants engaged by Mr. Hall's office report- ed to the finance commissioner that {irregularities existed 'in the | Trinder books and that the agree- ment under which the state ac- cepted funds was not carried out. The accountants’ re-check shows |that Connecticut is entitled this |vear to between $17,000 and $20,- 1000 less than estimated, with the {result that expenditures for new |equipment must be curtailed and money diverted from that account into maintenance funds. * Mr. Trinder pointed out that his accounts and records were examined |by federal auditors and pronounced |to be entirely satisfactory; also |that a check-up had been made with the office of the state treas- urer and conditions approved. The question involved is one of apportioning charges against the several funds for which the federal grant was given. Mr. Trinder cited one instance in which he was ad- vised by the federal bureau to use his own judgment with reference to a charge in which a question arose, and_of others where work overlapped and funds were drawn from two funds to meet the salaries of teachers engaged for one class of work, federal approval also be- inx given in this instance. The Washington bureau of voca- tional training has shown an in- clination to regard the recent devel- opments in the Trinder matter as unimportant, admitting of the pos- sibility that state funds might have been misappropriated, but inglining to the viewpoint that the thorough andit made by the government guards against any misappropria- these print and flat crepe Summer Frocks again prove that style can be inexpensive on under the Smith-Hughes act. Annual reports are sworn to as audited and no evidence has yet been found to base suspicion of irregularity, directors say. Commissioner Hall is awaiting a written report, supplementing the oral statement he hasgreceived, and he plans to inquire into the atate- ments made by Mr. Trinder with reference to his relations with the federal bureau. In cases where misapplications have been found, it has been the custom of the federal bureau to| cut off future grants until a satis. | factory adjustment has been made, | it was explained in Washington.
