TO FOUR-POWER DECLARATION Soviet Embassy in London Reports Favorable Reply to British Plan LONDON, March 23 (U.R) Soviet Russia agreed to a four-power declaration aimed a-gainst Nazi Ag' gression today as Great Britain and France were reported to have exchanged written assurances of mu tual support against a German at tack in western Europe. The Soviet embassy said that an affirmative reply had been deliv ered by Russia to the British pro posal for a four-power declaration providing for immediate consulta' tlon in event of further German aggression. It was believed that, as a result, the Red Army and air force high command would be enlisted in British-French military consultations.

The embassy's statement coincided with reports "that one of the first fruits of the visit of President Albert Lebrun of France, to London was a written secret agreement under which Britain promises to support French action in event of a German threat to invade Switzerland. Under the agreement, it was reported, France gives similar pledges in respect to British defense of Holland. The exchange was said to have been accompanied by reaffir mation of the British-French plans lor protection of Belgium in event of an emergency. Diplomatic quarters reported that the assurances were exchanged at the result of a 90 minute conference at the house of commons last night at which Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, Viscount Halifax, for eign secretary; Georges Bonnet, French foreign minister, and Andre Charles Corbin, French ambassador to London, were present. It was asserted that memoranda were exchanged recording a verbal agreement that France would support Great Britain if Britain re garded a German attack on the Netherlands or Belgium as a threat to vital interests, and that Britain would support France in event that she regarded a possible attack on Switzerland as menacing her own interests.

As this report of an important and specific move in the British "stop Hitler" drive was circulated, it was understood that Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain hoped to be able to make a statement in the commons this afternoon on plans for an anti-agression declaration bv European powers.

ALTOONA RABBI APPEARS HERE B'Nai B'Rith Hears Lecture on World Problems Confronting Jews Rabbi Henry R.

Goldenberger, Al-toona, addressed a meeting of the B'Nai B'Rith organization of B'Nai Israel Synagogue last evening. The meeting was held in the recreation room of the synagogue, and was well attended. Many out-of-town guests were present. Rabbi Goldenberger spoke on the Jewish problems in world affairs, stressing, as a solution, the importance of rehabilitating Palestine. In describing the work already done by Jews in Palestine, he outlined the daring projects which included the building of colonies, farms, schools and hospitals.

Both Jews and Arabs benefit by this program, Rabbi Goldenberger said. Prior to the lecture, David Koren, Susquehanna University student, played a violin solo. James Pledges to Aid State Schools (Continued From Pae One) Means Committee is "holding up our sleeve." The governor repeated his pledge to oppose any new taxes if it is at all possible to meet the state's obligations without them. Edmonds, sponsor while a memoer nf t-hf House. ff the orieinal pro gram of state subsidization of the school system, described his new proposal as the most practical approach to the school financial crisis.

He said he was apprehensive that the whole school subsidization program was in danger at this. time. More than 200 school districts have appealed to the Department of Public Instruction since the financial pinch was felt anew. Since the Governor's biidget message provided for no deficiency appropriation in the current biennium they must under present plans wait until the $2,000,000 to be allowed them for the next two years is made available. Unoffical sources report that scores of school districts, particularly in the Anthracite area, are at a point of closing their doors.

Schuylkill County is said to have 38 districts in these straits, chiefly because of the inability of coal companies to pay their school taxes, the principal source of revenue to many districts. Coal Township, Northumberland County, is reported $150,000 in arrears in payment of teachers' salaries Clarence E. Ackey, deputy superintendent of public instruction, assigned these two reasons for the plight of the school districts: 1. "The perpetual passing of tax-a'iatement acts which have made the flow of revenue into school diS' trlct. treasuries slower.

2. "Mining companies, which pay a high percentage of revenue of scores of districts, geviing into worse fmancial straits." The Senate now is considering the bill of Senator Frederick L. Homsher, Lancaster, which will relieve the situation, temporarily at least, by permitting school districts to issue tax anticipation notes. The bill was given first reading and recommitted for amendment. It may be sent to the House next week.

Representative Faul L. Wagner, Schuylkill, introduced a resolution in the House calling for a joint legislative investigation of the school financial problems to recommend corrective measures at this session. The Senate already has passed a bill requiring applicants for all licenses in Pennsylvania to produce per capita school tax receipts for the pre- levying Butu a. uia. While the governor's budget recommended an increase of $1,000,000 to $61,000,000 in the school subsidization program, his budget also called for a two-year moratorium on 1937 laws allowing school districts $750,000 a year for pupil transportation and $2,250,000 more annually for high school tuition.

Bills to carry out these recommendations are before the House. Edmonds estimated the total increase in subsidies under his new schedule of state-aid at $2,400,000, which would be considerably in excess of the extra $1,000,000 in the budget. RURAL MAN JAILED AS STILL OPERATOR Adam Albright, of Danville, R. D. 3, was committed to Montour County jail at Danville, charged by Wil-lard Hughes, of the State Liquor Control Board staff of investigators with illegal possession of a still and liquor.

Hughes raided the Albright residence and found a 10-gallon copper still, then out of active service, together with a 20-gallon keg of liquor, quantities of coloring matter and evidence of other illegal traffic in strong beverages. Albright was taken before Justice A. H. Klase, Danville, where he was unable to provide $500 bond and was ordered sent to prison to await trial at the May term of criminal court. PHILADELPHIA, March 23.

(U.R) The State, Education Association today planned a bill for presentation to the State Legislature to raise school aid by 20 per cent and to create an "equalization fund" similar to that in New York to provide 'a "minimum program of education" for all pupils, according to Harvey E. Gayman, association executive secretary. The plan for increased state aid would require about $17,000,000 over the amount set by the Edmonds Act of 1921, he said. The equalization plan would cost the state about more, it was estimated. The plan would raise the state aid grant to first-class districts (Philadelphia, Pittsburgh) to 45 per cent.

Second-class (Erie, Lancaster, Scranton, etc.) and third-class districts would receive 55 per cent, fourth-class districts 70 per cent and some so-called "preferential" districts as high as 95 per cent. Gayman contended that an efT cation program including acadedLr commercial and mechanical courses costs about $1,600 annually for an elementary teacher with a class of 30, and $2,000 for a high school teacher with 25 pupils. Meanwhile, at the joint meeting of the 26th Annual Schoolmen's Week and the southeastern convention district of the State Education Association at the University of Pennsylvania, Dr. Thomas S. Gates, Penn president, urged educators to impress Americanism upon their pupils.

He called on teachers to help maintain civilization's "common faith, common art and common science against an exchange for state-controlled dogmas." "That condition has already been realized in a large part of what was once the civilized world," Dr. Gates said. "It exists in all of the dic tatorships, whether they call themselves Fascist, Nazi or Communist. VALUATION APPEAL REFUSED BY COURT State Supreme Court yesterc handed down an opinion sustaining the findings of Northumberland County commissioners in refusing appeal of the M. A.

Hanna Coal Company, rightful owners of Susquehanna Collieries Company, for reductions in coal land assessments in this county. The Susquehanna Company ap pealed certain coal land valuations for 1935 and 1936 and the county court upheld the figures assessed against the land by the Northum berland County commissioners, sit ting as a board for tax revision. The company appealed to the Su preme Court, which yesterday dismissed the appeal and assessed all costs against the coal corporation.

Scolds COUGHS DUE TO COLDS Phone 756 Cmii used over, jl rtHpH 80 YEARS UkJl On second reading were the eight bills to reenact the emergency relief taxes and six other proposals in cluding the Woodslde bills appro' priating $4,334,000 for departmental deficiencies and authorizing state fiscal officers to borrow $175,000,000 on notes secured by revenues antici pated during the next biennium; the Senate-approved Mallery bill to aid financially distressed school districts by permitting issuance of short-term notes secured not only by anticipated revenues but also state subsidies allocated by the Legislature. Twelve bills were listed for final action. One was the Coleman-Miller Senate bill permitting adjournment of real estate tax sales. Another was the Denman House bill to remove two Democrats from the State Authority board which is completing a $65,000,000 institutional construe' tion program. It was directed at Representative Herbert B.

Cohen York, House minority leader, and Austin E. McOullough, Lancaster editor. The House approved finally yesterday six bills, all requiring Senate concurrence. Two of the group, Kane, McKean, were primarily sponsored by Representative E. Kent to facilitate the Dauphin County grand Jury investigation of graft charges against former Governor George H.

Earle and 13 other DemO' crats. One of the Kane bills, described during debate as "oppressive, unrea sonable and unwarranted" by Rep resentative Homer Brown, Alle gheny, would impose heavy penal ties on foreign corporations regis tered to do business in Pennsylvania for refusal to turn over records sought by law enforcement agencies. It passed, 113 to 74, The other Kane proposal, ap proved 168 to 0, would make public officers and employes liable to indictment within two years after they leave governmental service. An amendment would give immunity six years after commission of the crimes charged, adding four years to the existing statute of limitations as it affects public servants. The House cleared the two Gll- lette-Fiss bills providing $13,000,000 for expenditure by second class township supervisors for road and bridge construction and reconstruction during the calendar years 1940-1941.

A new appropriation of 500,000 gained a 197 to 4 vote. The other bill, turning over a $4,500,000 balance of a previous appropriation to the Highway Department for second class township roads to the supervisor, was approved 200 to 0. The two roll calls were regarded as "home rule" victories. Representative Hiram G. Andrews, Cambria, who voted against the larger appropriation, commented: "The power of the second class township supervisors' lobby in Har-risburg is equalled only by their inefficiency at home." 1 Meter-Miser same one-piece all-steel cabinet construction same finest features of quality and performance as other Frigidaire models District captains and aides appointed by the finance committee of the Shamokin-Coal Township Diamond Jubilee celebration started this week to invite subscriptions to the jubilee fund in all districts of the borofegh and township.

Board Plans to 1 Pay for Home (Continued from Pake onei found necessary because of the presence of between 167 and 175 patients in the home and hospital since the consolidation of county institutional homes. Engineer Robert Weary is at present completing plans for extension of Roaring Creek Water Company's service lines to the institutional home, In order to assure adequate water supply at all times. At present the former almshouse receives its water supply from a reservoir on the mountain south of the institution. Prior to the enlarging of the institution there was ample supply from this source, but in dry periods last summer the supply became limited.

Since then Warden Oswald Kramer has found the supply low on numerous occasions and recommended plans for improved service. CHILD OF FORMER RESIDENTS DEAD Charles W.

McDevitt to a jury that had Just recommended death in the electric chair for a member of an alleged murder-lor-insurance syndi- oate that "scores and scores of other unfortunates were put to death bv this trrourj of assassins. 2 Herman Petrillo, 40-year-old -spaghetti salesman, was hustled 'snarling and cursing irom tne "courtroom when Mrs. Margaret ISkeen, jury foreman, announced In scarcely audible voice: "We find the defendant guilty of murder in the first degree. We recommend death." Coroner Charles H.

Hersch told I' the United Press that all the bodies we know of now" will be dis-t interred from Philadelphia ceme-T teries. "I imagine, however, that New 'York authorities will be interested "in the case as we get further along," said. "Also there are indications that there may be a New Jersey ramification to the case. We leters from insurance com- panies requesting the exhumation of or three bodies immediately. STnere may be a slight delay, as we proceeding carefully, and when t-we have the groundwork complet-Ted, we shall begin the exhumations enmasse." Thanking the jury for their to the community," Judge McDevitt said that he wanted them to know that "the evidence pro-educed here was only the of the surface." "I want you to know," he said, "that scores and scores of other unfortunates were put to death by this group of assassins.

It is only 2y such verdicts as you have reach-led that we ever will hope to break the back of this mad quest for fSnoney. 3 "You see the type of person you tnave tried. You can see how dia-ilwlical he is, what a mean, vicious person he is. You now realize that was the only verdict you could have returned." 2 The strange syndicate that pur-; Portedly mixed "black magic" with administration of arsenic to heavily-insured victims has been operat-ing unmolested for a decade, ac-cording to authorities. Petrillo was convicted specifically ifor the arsenic death of Ferdinand SAlfonsi, one of three men and a youth, all heavily insured, who rwere given arsenic by the syndicate, according to the state.

After the jury retired shortly af-jJter 8:00 p. m. yesterday, Judge Mc-TCDevitt moved swiftly and ordered arrest of two more persons on 'jnurder charges. They were Paul SjPetrillo, 45, cousin of the defendant 2and alleged "wizard evil genius" of Sthe ring who previously had been "charged only with conspiracy, and Mrs. Susie DiMartino, gray-haired widow of one of the arsenic victims Also in the courtroom and facing trial were Mrs.

Corina Favato, 'widow and step-mother of two of tthe victims, and Mrs. Stella Al-'Jonsi, widow of the man for whose ideath Petrillo was convicted. The verdict against Petrillo was brought in at 9:30 p. but it "wm disclosed that the jury of five Jrnen and seven women had spent "an hour and a half at dinner and another hour in preliminary discus- ision of the case before actual voting began. Teacher's Case Is I Returned to Court 2 (Continued Prom Page On?) 1934 and 1935.

She was not employed in 1936 and was returned to service in 1937 as a teacher in the "primary grade. In October of that year she was transferred to the kindergarten. At the close of the term the board decided to abolish the kindergarten and Miss Ehret was notified her services were no longer required. Miss Jones had been a permanent "Supply teacher and she was notified the board had decided to abolish position. Judge Cummings, after hearings iin both cases, issued an order for re-'instatement of both teachers.

school board appealed to the Supreme Court, and several weeks ago an order was handed down in that court upholding the findings of Judge Cummings and directing reemployment of Miss Jones. The Ehret case was not decided at the same time, the higher court announcing further perusal of the teacher tenure laws was necessary. "As we have stated before," Chief 'Justice Kephart stated, "the purpose Of the tenure act was to maintain an adequate and competent teaching Staff, free from political and personal arbitrary interference, whereby capable and competent teachers plight feel secure and more efficiently perform their duties of instruction. "But it was not the intention of the Legislature to confer any specific privilege or immunities upon Brofessional employes to retain permanently their position and pay regardless of a place to work and pupils to be taught; nor to have the tenure act interfere with the control of school policy and the courses of study selected by the administrative bodies; nor to disrupt the school district's financial scheme." i The present trend of body designing is toward simplicity. Rider comfort will be the main factor in building cars in the future.

House to Speed Up Relief Bills (Continued From Page One) an expected $5,250,000 a year for financially distressed school disi tricts. The other eight tax bills would carry out the governor's recommendation that the $163,000,000 worth of emergency relief levies imposed during the Earle administration be kept in force another two years to produce the $129,000,000 set aside for public assistance and $34,000,000 ad ditionally to meet other obligations listed in the normal $372,000,000 budget for governmental operations next biennium, starting June 1. Notwithstanding the governor's thumbs-down on new taxation, Gates reported considerable senti ment among the Hnuse G. O. P.

majority, especially in the rural contingent, for the income tax as a means of removing part of the heavy burden on real estate and eliminating the "most depressing" tax on industries the normal 5-mill capital stock levy. When house ways end means committee approval of the bill 3ates said voting was by a three-to-one ratio was brought to the governor's attention, he said: "I said during the course of the campaign that I was against any new taxes and that goes for the in come tax. As far as humanly possible there will be no new taxes and we will direct our efforts to that end." The income tax bill sponsor re vealed, however, that Dr. Edward B. Logan, whom James appointed budget secretary, was carrying out the ways and means committee request for an estimate of the probable yield from the levy with various exemptions.

The bill carries a $2,000 exemption presently but an amendment, regarded as more likely to gain court approval, is being drafted to allow a $1,000 a year exemption for living expenses. Gates said Dr. Leonard P. Fox, tax expert for the State Chamber of Commerce, expressed opinion at a ways and means committee meeting Tuesday that the flat two per cent income levy would not yield more than $27,000,000 a year. Both Fox and Walter D.

Fuller, head of the emergency council of state associations and the Curtis Publishing Company, reportedly scored the administration during their testimony before the commit tee for ignoring the tax-reduction pledge that carried it into office, and endorsed the income levy and capital stock tax repealer.
