SIX VIOLENT DEATHS IN STATE WEEK-EN (Continued From First Page) while walking along the highway in | unidentified | Bloomfield. A second man was fatally injured in Hartford when he jumped out of the police patrol wagon while being taken to the station to be booked on a charge of intoxication. The Gow girl was killed and Ber- nice Brown, 13, of South Windsor, was injured when their automobile, driven by William Lockwood, 22, of South Windsor, left the highway in | that place, and crashed into a pole Sherman was killed on the Southing- ton mountain highwey by a machine operated by Lawrence Carlson of New Britain. Just before the latter accident, Mrs. William J. Carter of Waterbury was also struck by an automobile on this highway and| critically injured. The bruised body of Andrew Var- sanylk, 54, was found in bed at his| Seymour home. Believing that the | man may have been the victim of an | attack, Coroner James J. Corrigan | has ordered an autopsy. Arthur J. Hamel, 8, died in Nor- wich hospital shortly after a base- ball struck him in the chest. The boy was playing catch with a com panion and missed the ball as it sped toward him.

The fascists gained 95 and the communists gained 22. The likeliest solution of such a situation, it is generally conceded as assuring the goverpment a working majority, would be a coalition of the middle parties and socialists, with a possible majority of 32§, against the 224 of the fascists, communists and nationalists. Such a coalition would insure that Germany’s foreign policy would be carried on substantially unchanged, but what compromise might be made between the divergent views of the soclalist and middle parties on predict. | The attitude of ‘the fascists to- ward participation in the govern- ment is indicated by the statement of one fascists leader, Paul Roeb- bels, to the effect that they were willing to cooperate providing fas- cists head the reichswehr, Ministry and Berlin police department and that new diet elections are held in Prussia. Uneasiness Manifested The Boerse today reflected the general uneasiness over the situa- tion. The opening was weak on gell- ing orrers, particularly from abroad, some shares such as potash, siemens, and Reichsbank dropping 10 points and others slipping from three to | five. Banks, however, were inclined to support the market and a drastic slump was not expected. ‘Whether or not the new reichstag proves to be a bigger problem than its prededessor it'is sure to be a big- ger and more expensive parliament.
