FORD IS REDUCING ALL WAGES 1929 “Prosperity Dollar” Increase to Disappear —$7 Minimum Pay Be comes S6—Entire Plant to Be Reorganized (Copyright 1931 By United Press) Detroit, Oct 29 (UP)—The Ford Motor company quietly is readjusting its wage scale, reduc ing the 1929 "prosperity dollar” increase. The present minimum pay of |7, set by Henry Ford more than a year ago after a conference with President Hoover at Washington, probably will be reduced to the old base of $8. Higher paid em ployes will suffer reductions in proportion. Ford had hoped to give a needed stimulation to return of prosper ity when he announced his $7 scale in the face of a rapidly decreasing business. The present wage reduc tions however, are in line with a recent interview by the motor magnate in which he said he did not see any immediate spectacular business revival in sight Departmental heads are han dling Ford’s wage cuts. These exe cutives practically are reorganis ing their entire staffs, adjusting a "seniority scale" of increase which has been in effect in most plants. Under this system employes re ceived periodical increases and higher executives were said to feel that many workers are being paid more than their proportionate ability warrants. The changes are going on slow ly. As each department "lays oft" its help for mechanical changes coincident with the changed model the laborers are rehired at the em ployment office. After a physical inspection and acceptance, they generally are re-assigned to differ ent jobs, and lower pay.

The international credit bank would cooperate with the bank for International settlement at Basle and would, through processes of discount, transform short term credits in Germany estimated va riously at between $1,000,000,00(1 and $2,000,000,000. The bank would centralize control of large international credit operations. Francqul was expected to have difficulty in persuading France to agree to the plan, although Laval was said to have promised to sub mit the project to the cuginet aft er discussing it with the Belgian financier. French participation would centralize control of large international credit operations. A section of the cabinet was sqld to be opposed to the plan, main taining that it would be better to lose the 3,000,000,000 francs in vested in short term (lerman cred its than to risk another 6,000,000. 000 francs. The United States has the heav iest short term commitments in Germany, about $6000.000,000 and Great Britain the next heaviest.

Welch of Middle Reflectors an Aid to Safety Stoeckel Points to Their Effectiveness on Highways With fall driving conditions at hand, when a large part of traf fic Is often under conditions when lights are needed, it seems well, says Commissioner of Motor Vehicles Bobbins B. Stoeckel to call attention to one or two par ticular problems of this period. "Drivers of vehicles other than motor vehicles," he adds "should realize, especially, that they are In serious danger unless lights are curried according to law. It Is a simple matter for a farmer, or for anyone who still uses horses, to carry a light on his wagon. "It is now possible at slight expense to supplement a light by Installation of one or more units of the button type reflector. These are now so good in manufacture and In response to direct light thut there can be no doubt of actual accomplishment and that each on coming automobile receives notice of the presence of the other ve hicle. Every vehicle on the high way ought to be marked both front and rear, and It might possibly save some of the collisions in which horses are victims if the headstall of each horse could have such a reflector upon it. "It Is Interesting to note how extensively reflectors are coming Into use. Merchants and certain notion stores are offering a re flector for sale which can be used by a pedestrian. This Is an Innovation and may produce a most Interesting result. Many In telligent people who walk on high ways after dark recognize and make preparation for situa tions where they may not be read ily seen by an oncoming car oper ator. A recent Instance Is known where a lady dressed in black, knowing that she might be Invis ible to an oncoming car on that account carried her handkerchief In her hand and fluttered It each time a car came along. This was entirely effective. Whether pedes trians will ever arrive at the point where they can be induced to wear reflector buttons or whether It Is even advisable and proper is open for discussion, but everything which can be done by a pedestrian to show the motor vehicle oper ator that he Is there, ought to be done. The principle of effectiveness is essential to bring obedience to law. It will be remembered that two or three years ago a driver of a horse and wagon who was ar rested for not having his light proved that he did have a light and that it was lighted, but on cross examination it developed he had it wound up in a blanket to keep his feet warm. That is not obedi ence of the law. "The persons who are on the highway In a slow vehicle such as a horse and wagon, or as pedes trians. at night, should know that they owe protection to them •elves by obedience to the law. Even though the use of a reflector does not excuse a person from also carrying a light, yet it is an addi tional safeguard, and it is well for some of these people who are in dangerous sltuatolns after dark to remember that there ia a rumor to the effect that when you are dead you are dead for a long time.” The above bulletin, prepared by Mr Stoeckel. was read to-day by station announcer from WTIC. the Travelers.

The Official System of Contract Bridge Featured Exclusively in The Waterbury Democrat By “THE COLONEL” OFFICIAL SPOKESMAN FOR BRIDGE HEADQUARTERS ARTICLE TEN Lesson Number Two THE OPENING BID OF ONE It will be found that a large ma jority of all opening bids at con tract are bids of one, either in suit or no trupip, due to the law of averages whljh distribute the cards in the four hands with a fair de gree of equ -lity, hence in a pre ponderance of deals the cards held by any player permit only a bid of one. The opening bid of one is bed rock—the foundation on which the contract is erected. Hence, for the contract to itand up, the founda tion must be strong and depend able. Too much stress cannot be placed on the Importance and a thorough understanding of an opening bid of one. However, the average hand presents no prob lem. A considerable percentage of all hands is fairly obvious, the opening bid following definite and easily understandable specifications. There are two distinct types of bids which will be discussed sep arately in this lesson: suit bids of one and no-trump bids of one. REQUIREMENTS FOR OPEN ING SUIT BIDS OF ONE The requirements for an opening suit bid of one are governed by two factors: (a) the position of the bidder: (b) the number of cards contained in the bid suit. When in position of dealer or second hand certain high-card tricks are required. When in the position of third and fourth hand additional high-card tricks are necessary. Perhaps you would like to know the reason for this difference. A player’s partner by passing, has denied holding specific high-card requirements. Therefore, third or fourth hand must have additional values to make up for his partner's dafleiency. When bidding a four-card suit, minimum high-card trick valuation in the bid suit must be consider ably higher than for a five-card suit. The reason for this is that four r ARNOIL STEAM TREATMENT tAr this remarkable price every woman can afford these marvelous hair and scalp treatments that prolong the life of your permanent and give your hair new lus tre and new life.

Some authorities will not open the bidding on mini mum high-card trick holdings un less at least one-half high card tricks is held in a side suit. EXAMPLE: SPADES—K-x-x; HEARTS—x-x; DIAMONDS—A-K-Q-x; CLUBS —x-x-x-x While the diamond holding justi fies an opening bid with three (3) high cards, the half trick (the spade king in this example) Is re quired as additional protection, it is a matter for the individual pre ference of teachers or players. REQUIREMENTS FOR BIDDING A FIVE-CARD SUIT First or Second Hand The requirements for an open ing five-card suit bid of one, first or second hand, are a minimum of: 2. 3. 2 !i high-card tricks In the hand. 4 probable tricks In the hand. A minimum of lilgh-oard trick In the bid suit. This means you may bid any five card suit, headed by a king, or queen-jack, when in position of dealer or second hand, proved there are outside honor cards in the hand sufficient to meet the total mini mum requirements of two and one half (2V4) high-card tricks in the hand; and further provided there are four (4) probable tricks in the hand.

PROFESSIONALS AID FUND Doctors, Dentists And Others Donate For Unemployed Chairman Harris Reveals Support in Pledges—Ex pects Fund to Increase Materially Within Next Two Weeks—$5,000 Additional Weekly Needed to Handle Situation Doctors, dentists end others In Waterbury’s professional life who heretofore h-ve not participated in the mutual and relief plan con ducted. for the benefit of the local unemployed, have come to the side of Chairman William M. Harris will a fairly large representation on the list of new pledges, it was disclosed today. This showing by the members of the city’s profes sional life is considered a good In dication that when the personal canvas now being conducted by the unemployment committee has been completed, there will be but few “on the outside.” Reeling that the coming win ter will tax the relief committee heavier than .«-r, Chairman Har ris hopes that the unemployment fund will be greater by $6,000, Tax Collections Continue Good $50,000 Paid In at Noon To-day Despite to-day’s rainy weather, receipts in the tax collector’s of fice up until early this afternoon continued to show a creditable showing on the part of local pro perty owners In the payment of the October installment of the 1931 levy. Tax Collector William A. En nis stated early this afternoon when talked with that approxi mately $60,000 had been paid into his office so far to-day. He added that this showing, while not suffi cient to allay the fear that many property owners will leave them selves liable for a nine per cent penalty after October 31st, was a good one in view of the weather. At noon to-day a line of tax payers was in evidence at the tax collector’s office. Yesterday up to noon hour a total of )70,000 had been taken in. But when the col lector's office closed for the day this figure had been advanced to the $106,000 mark. Therefore, it is figured that the receipts for to-day despite the rainy weather, in view of the $50, 060 figure for this morning, will be equal to the record made yester day and possibly better. So far, on the October install ment, there has been received al most $640,000. This, of course, is far short of the figure desired as the taxes due this month total ap proximately $2,600,000. This means that between now and closing time Saturday a little leas than $2,000 must be taken in. Otherwise. Collector Ennis will be forced to impose the statutory penalty of 9 per cent, after Octo ber 31st. He stated again to-day that he is reluctant to Impose this penalty in view of the depression but he has no choice in the mat ter. being governed entirely by the statutes which require the charg ing of 9 per cent on delinquent ac counts. Saturday promises to be a very busy day at the office. There is fear being expressed that if too big a rush occurs Saturday, though the office may not be able to ac commodate all property owners calling to settle their accounts. Therefore. Collector Ennis said to day, he hopes that to-morrow as many as can do so will visit his of fice with their tax money and avoid the last-minute rush. weekly, in the future than it hu ever been before. Today the Connecticut Light ft Power Company sent in pledge cards from its employes. The con cern and its employes has joined once more in the relief plan 100 per cent. Yesterday, through an error in the list issued from un e m p 1 oyment headquarters, the nam of Upson Singleton ft Com pany was omitted from among the merchants who are cooperating. This concern has always been registered 100 per cent with the relief committee. Letters have been sent to every body and every firm in the city who it is believed will be able to help out this winter. Results are beginning to be experienced. In a few days, Chairman Harris said today, a list of the new pledges that have been received since the campaign for additional contributors as started will be pub Ulshed. SCHOOL FUND FAR FROM THE QUOTA The school milk fund was giv en a alight push to-day, only $40 being donated and the $2,000 mark has not been reached as yet. The total desired Is $10,000. Contribu tions of $5 each were received from H. J. Carroll and the Coronas club and $30 from Miss Alice E. Kingsbury.

True, there are exigencies in the outcome that, if not delicately handled, such as the proposed high tariff policy, might mitigate towards the general good aimed at by Mr MacDonald and his sup porters. However, in the placing of Ramsay Mac Donald at the helm in the present crisis in Great Britain the island electorate apparently, have done much in clarifying many of the outside world difficulties that on top of in ternal complications were an added weight to the yoke under which England has been struggling the past decade or more. To be gin with Ramsay MacDonald is in complete accord with the present German set-up and his influence in that direction should have a heartening effect upon conditions there. Then again the complete overthrow of Lord Henderson offers hope in the matter of India. And finally, but not least, the long-standing admiration and friendly feeling of Mr Mac Donald towards the United States cannot but be looked upon as the most favorable outcome of the elections. So with all these international threads and many more too numerous here to men tion emanating from the adoption of such a course as Great Britain chose to elect on Tuesday there cannot help but arise a new determination upon the part of world pow ers to iron out the difficulties which have been pyramiding themselves since the World war. Undoubtedly Ramsay MacDonald will still have his troubles internally, but w* think with the sweeping vote of confi dence given him in Tuesday’s elections that he can rise to yet greater heights than here tofore. And at any event clarification of the situation should go a long way at the pres ent time towards restoring business confi dence throughout the world. The process may be slow, but the way is clear. Parley Results The formal statement given out by Presi dent Hoover and Premier Laval was so vague aid general as to mean little to the average reader. But authoritative information furnished informally to the newspaper cor respondents was definite on three points of gitat interest and importance. First among these may be placed the atti tude of the two government heads on repar ations and war debts. They have agreed that this huge system of inter-governmental obligations must be overhauled again and the obligations reduced. Such action can be taken in harmony with provisions set up by the Young plan. German reparations can be. scaled down to whatever figure the experts judge Germany able to pay. That figure will be determined largely by the cut which the United tSates is willing to take in its war loans to the Allies. In the great re nunciation Uncle Sam is expected to be the great renounces The Allies will ease up on Germany as much as America eases up on them, and probably a little more. This is to be done not simply as justice or charity, but as a practical stroke for the restoration of international industry and trade. At last, it is felt, American public sentiment is ready for such a step. Next comes the world business situation as affected by American and French finance. There two nations, financially soundest of all, and holding most of the world’s mone tary gold, are to work together. There are to be no more "gold raids," no financial hijacking such as France has been accused of lately. Both are to keep themselves, as Rockefeller used to express it. "strong in cash." This plan is less selfish than it sounds. The two countries are expected to use their financial power helpfully. They cannot help others unless they keep them selves solvent. Third, the disarmament conference will be held in February under the auspices of the League of Nations, but it is well not to expect much from it unless France changes her present attitude. Laval still opposes mil itary reductions for his country without security guarantees which the United States is not ready to give. But something may be accomplished by starting with plans for closer cooperation to preserve peace. Here is. perhaps, as much progress as can be expected at present. Whether this pro gram is accomplished depends largely on the ■ood of the United States Senate. Modern Road Tolls Not *o many years ago the country was honeycombed with toll roads. The motor iat, in the course of a day's travel, could pay amt t food many dollars for the privilege of tmmg them. Now toll roads are few and far tttmmm. But the motorist still pays a toll, mi a far gi -ater one than he raid in the old days. The modern toll is the gasoline tax. According to Webster's dictionary, a toll for some liberty or priv for the privilege of pass In state?; three-, the average driver must i pay a cent every time he goes four miles, a six-cent tax be pays a cent every In the latter instance, if he drives i a day, be mtut pay two dollars is than tax ii more arc stantly increasing. Rumbles of seven, eight and ten-cent taxes are heard, and even at pres ent the gas tax almost equals the price of the fuel in many places. The drivers of the old days did a lot of complaining about toll roads, but, compared to the drivers of the present, they didn’t know what a toll really would be! The Hoover*’ Book That translation of a mining treatise of the Middle Ages, made by two young engi neers, Mr and Mrs Herbert Clark Hoover, has always been regarded as a good job, though it never was a best seller. Two years ago a copy of it could be purchased for $7. That was before it dawped on col lectors that such a book, by a president of the United States, had a value quite apart from its scientific purpose and literary merit. Today, it is reported, the book commands a price of from $100 to $200. Available copies have already been bought up by gen eral collectors. The value of the book— as a collectors’ item is so well known now that there is slight chance of finding any stray copies at a lower price. The Engineering Societies library in New York reports that the book is in demand not only by collectors but by readers. Engineers in all parts of the world are asking for it. That’s dangerous. If engineers want it for reference, some one will be coming out with a new edition and the collectors' prices will slump a little. Bathrooms The most important room in a house nowadays, it seems, is the bathroom. Or rather the bathrooms. If there is only one, the house is regarded as hopelessly inade quate and old-fashioned. So great is the demand for multiple bathrooms that, ac cording to an article in a banking magazine, every extra bathroom adds $600 to $1,000 to the loan value of a house. It is hard to get people to look at a house where there is only one bathroom,’’ says a real estate man. "And when they do look at it, the first thing they do is to find some place where they can put in another bath room.” Many an old house can be modern ized by a good bathroom or two. So here’s a good tip to builders. Don't be stingy about bathrooms. If you have to economize, do it on the attic and cellars, or the recreation room or sun room or din ing room. And don't be afraid of delicate and artistic decorative effects. If you want to sell a house, give ’em art, especially bath room art. That's even more important than art in the kitchen. Four O’Clock Chewing Gum Dr Donald A. Laird, director of the Col gate University psychology laboratory, has some to the defense of chewing gum for peo ple working in noisy offices. Noise is bad because it causes fatigue. Fatigue can be counteracted in various ways. “Chewing gum can be defended for two reasons," he explains. "First, it stimulates the secretion of the gastric juices, slowed up by fatigue in a noisy office. Second, it contains a certain amount of sugar, which is dissolved and absorbed during the.process of chewing. Sugar, we have found, ii important as an in gredient in what might be called a dietary anti-noise serum. I am in favor of gum chewing at 4 o’clock in the afternoon as an aid to efficiency.” Perhaps the same result wiuld be obtained by eating a little candy, but office girls are mostly off candy because they consider it fattening. There is another substitute the afternoon tea of the English. Tea, however, would require stopping work of a few minutes, at least. Perhaps it is up to the boss to decide between afternoon tea or after noon chewing gum. Peaceful Navy Day “Navy Day” is not to be a field day for the big navy men. Circulars sent out a month ago from the Navy Department are said to have urged speakers to advocate the building up of the navy to London treaty limits, increase of the naval academy output and other forms of expansion. This pro gram has been canceled by the secretary of the navy, with recommendations to all naval speakers to confine their remarks to safe and conventional expressions. There can be no question of the wisdom of such procedure. Naval officers, in theory at least, are never shapers of policy. They are supposed to carry out policies shaped by civilian authorities. This would be a par ticularly bad time to indulge in any big navy propaganda, when our government and all other sane governments are engaged in a supreme effort to reduce armament. There has been a good object lesson, too, in the Manchurian situation. May the United States Navy never get out of hand as the Japanese army seems to have done! If Connecticut had any say in the matter and if her officials were to- take the same attitude as those in Massachusetts the con tract for the new postoffice in Waterbury would be awarded to the lowest bidder in this state, perhaps the lowest one in this city, since there were two from Waterbury bidding on the job. Massachusetts has adopted a stand on highway contracts that eliminates bidders from out of the state. Some time ago Connecticut contractors out bid theis Bay State rivals for a stretch of road. However, the contract was given to the lowest Bay State bidder, until the fed eral government intervened. It was a fed eral aid project and the national govern ment insisted that it go to the lowest bid der regardless of his address. The govern ment threatened to withhold its share of the expense if this demand was not heeded. It was. However, recently a Connecticut con tractor underbid Massachusetts ones, but lost the contract when the governor's executive council awarded it to the lowest bidder from that state. There are too many consequences from such actions for many states to follow example, although it may seem like a rough deal for the home industries. Public work should go to the lowest bidder and there should be no qualifications of residence de manded. A unique sentence was imposed upon a former New York letter carrier recently in federal court. He pleaded that he was in toxicated when he stole four bills from a letter h« was delivering. Federal Judge i Frank J. Coleman gave fiim a suspended six moil tbs sentence with this admonition, "You will be put on probation for four years. During that time you will have to behave yourself and don’t get into any argu ments about the prohibition law. A man who gets into such a pickle as you’re in through drinking has no right to criticize the law. Offhand that sentence might not appear severe, but in this day and age the man, and even the woman, who can avoid a prohibition argument is a rare species. It just can’t be done and won’t, we rather imagine, until something is done about changing present conditions. Reading of the mayoralty campaign in New Haven recently we noticed that Aider man Murphy, the democratic candidate, has made parking and ash removal two points in the program. If elected Mr Murphy has promised the electorate to do his utmost to secure centrally located parking places where the public may leave their cars at a mini mum cost or actually for nothing. Removal of ashes by the city is also promised by the democratic candidate. Both of the above are pertinent topics that appeal to the mass of voters more than financial arguments, such as featured Waterbury’s campaign.. If Mr Murphy can keep bis promises, though, he will be a wizard. Well, he’s gone and done it after all. We suppose "Bossy Gillis just couldn’t stand seeing his reputation hurled around the columns of the country's newspapers any more. The Newburyport, Mass, Asbestos just made its first appearance in four pages on pink paper. Its owner, editor, and pub lisher is listed as Mayor Andrew J.

ELEMENTARY LESSON FOR SLAVES OF THE PHYSIC HABIT Breaking folks of the physic habit is the toughest job I have ever tackled, that is on a broad mass basis. Teaching 'em not to be afraid of draffs or wet feet was child's play. Teaching ’em that brushing the teeth doesn't matter was a little harder, for there we bgrged right up against American snobbery. Teaching ’em not to shed their bipod when they have to give up their tonsils was harder still, because there we encountered obstinate and mulish re sistance on the part of all the old fossils of the medical profession, particularly the pee-wees in the nose and throat field. But these little skirmishes are minor affairs, after all. Break ing the physic habit is a formidable undertak ing. I’ve been sniping away at it for ten years or so, though in a desultory, way and without great expectations. Once a year or so I’ve brought down something, I am assured. But what does a lone bird like that among millions matter if the rest are never aware that I'm shooting at them? The nostrum manufacturers and ghosts of venerabie quack institutions may as well take notice right now that I have put aside my rifle and henceforth I'm using a machine gun. Dur ing the past two years I have been quietly trying out this new and more deadly method, and I find it will do execution enough to make a noticeable impression. No doubt my technic in the working the automatic improves with experience. There is one little obstacle which the physic or enema addict must surmount before he or she even begins to get ready to commence to quit, and that is the precious old morbid no tion, so dear to the heart of the nostrum and quackery merchant, that if the bowels don’t act as the nostrum and quackery merchant says they should, you are in danger of suffer ing dire poisoning or what the foppish fakers in the healing racket call “autointoxication." Not only the frank dealers in proprietary dope and mail-order quackery promote this “auto intoxication’’ or “toxin” bunk for all it is worth to them, but a considerable number of the near-scientists and the brass specialists in our regular medical ranks are quite fond of rolling the idea over the tongue, when dealing with well-to-do or credulous customers. Scientifically there is not even a little bit of evidence, experimental or clinical, to sustain the fancy that any such poisoning ever hap pens to a patient who is not sick undo death. I have no compunction about committing my self unequivocally about this, for you may be sure I have studied the question carefully be fore taking any such position upon it. I am reasonably confident, you see, that no one can shake my position, for it is grounded in physi ology, and even the most imposing quack or brass specialist can’t repeal or annul the facts or laws of physiology. Once the victim of the constipation habit gets this quaint superstition of ’’autointoxlca tlon” out of his or head there is hope—as a famous predecessor of mine used to say. How about your notion, numbskull? Do you know a lot about "intestinal poisoning” that isn’t so? QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Safe Places to Lie Wliat laws or restrictions, If an;, have to be observed as to the composition of such reme dies as-and These remedies are sold as cures for colds. (T. K.) Answer—Practically none, except that cer tain narcotic drugs must be mentioned on the label. As for the claims made for the rem edies, anything goes so long as It Is printed on the label. Lying* on the label Involves the risk of prosecution by federal authorities. Lying al most anywhere else Is safe. I think you will find that neither nostrum Is called a “cure” on the label. The manufacturers are too foxy to be caught like that. Antlvenin Cost Money Following your advice that one traveling in snake country should carry antivenom in his emergency kit I sought to provide myself with some I enclose the letter from the store where I buy my medicines. The price seems prohibitive. Our sons killed 85 rattlesnakes hero on the ranch in the past six weeks. (Mrs J. K.) Answer—The letter from the store mentions a price of »10 for the package of antlvenin. Well, when need arises that price is a small consideration for the great benefit the antidote confers. Chronic Arsenic Poisoning My trouble Is chronic arsenic poisoning. 1 can't afford a doctor. Can you give me a good home treatment? (M. C. B.) Answer—No. If you can't afford a doctor you should go to one of the free dispensaries or clinics for treatment. You do not explain how you know you have chronic arsenic poisoning. If you are sure about It, a course of sodium hyposulphite (photographer's fixing chemical) will do no harm—take from 10 to 10 grains in half a glassful of water after food three times a day for two or three weeks.

PRAMCC I great SRirAJW I JAP/ WCttHJP COURT MCMXXt GERMM/Y At The National Capitol DAILY WASHINGTON LETTER A Digest of Who’s Who and What’s What 87 RODNEY DUTCHER NKA Service Writer Washington—Congressman Will Wood of Indiana is reconciled to being the most unpopular man in Washington. He wouldn’t expect to be any thing else when he decided on a crusade for a reduction of all gov ernment salaries. The chances are that Wood will not be able to put over his pro gram unless the administration be comes much more desperate for economies than it Is now, but Wood presumably will hold his old powerful post as chairman of the a -ropriations committee—if the republicans control the house— and he will attract enough sup port to stir -up a mean light. And when the fight is over, one fears, his name will be a hissing and byword for hundreds of thou sands of the boys and girls who wcrl: for Uncle Ram. Wood says he has already had promises of support from 15 or 16 members of congress, but the fact that he proposes to reduce congressional salaries along with the rest may give you an Idea why he seems jo surely doomed to dis appointment. -Even If the old gentleman were proposing to ex empt his colleagues they wouldn't have the nerve to slash the incomes of stenographers, clerks and other workers while leaving their own $10,000 salaries Intact. The other big stumbling block which Wood faces Is the opposi tion of the Hoover administration Itself, of which the Indiana con gressman Is ordinarily one of the staunchest supporters. Although the administration has come to realize that it has been powerless to avert wage cuts in private in dustry, Hoover is In no position to sign a bill to reduce the gov ernment's own salaries. He has been so thoroughly committed to the policy of malntanlng wages and his party propagandists have made so much capital of his wide ly commended stand that even f congress were to hand him such a bill—and even if a considerable amount of public opinion had come to favor It—a presidential veto would be certain. An elec tion is coming along and that fact is borne In mind constantly both at the White House and on Capi tol Hill.

A while ago Wood urged a general salary reduction begenning with the $2,500 salaries. But now he has changed his mind and will attempt to hit all salaries from $1,200 u ye. r up. He realized af ter his first blast that 80 per cent of government salaries were below $2,500 and feels that In order to benefit the country the reduction must be of wider scope. He would make reductions of 5 per cent In the $1,200 to $2,00 class, 8 per cent from $2,500 to $10,000 and 10 per cent on everything above $10, 000. That would bring the president's salary down to $67,500, those of senators and representatives down toward $9,000 and those of vlce Presldent Curtis and the cabinet members to $13,500. At recent conventions both the National Federation of Federal Employes and the Postal Employes association representing about 600, 000 per:-ns between them, adopted resolutions calling for aggreslve salary increase campaigns.

The federal employes generally argue that many of them are still mlserablly underpaid and that the Quotations The greatest loss from the World War was the loes of faith. —Newton D. Baker, war-time sec retary of war. In the new era, thought itself will be transmitted by radio. —Quglielmo Marconi. Unemployment wouldn't be so bad If there wap good fishing every where. —Governor Alfalfa BUI Murray. Women brag more than men. —Eleanor Patterson. i No one In the prohibition bureau has any reason to be discouraged. —A. W. Woodcock, prohibition commissioner. It's all right to tend money If you gst It back. —Chairman Stone of the Perm low level of the whole govemroert scale vitiates Wood’s assertion thu their pay was raised because of high living costs which have since been lowei -d. They also feel that Wood dislikes federal employes on general principles, as he accuses them of “living on the fat of the land." Congress d its own salaries from $7,500 to $10,000 In 1926 an.l two years later passed the Welch bill which raised the salary of the average federal worker about $125 a year and made the maximum for the few highest paid professional and scientific groups $9,000 instead of $7,500. At that time many government workers hadn't had u. raise for 20 years and about 75 per cent of them were employed at an average of $1,300 a year. TODAY IS THE-4 AfWERSM ITALIAN FRONT FALLS On October 29, 1917, the Italian Iaonzo front.collapaed and the Aue tro-German army reached the out posts before Udine, where the Ital ian headquarters were located. Cormons, on the plains about seven miles west of Gorizla, was captured and the armies of the central powers approached the frontier of the Italian coastal re gion. But the Germane were repulsed by the French near Chaume and Courrlers Wood on the western front. The first war prisoner taken by the United States expeditionary forces (a German) died in an American field hospital in France from wounds Inflicted by a United States patrol.

The spirit, the morale, of the individual Is In even greater need of nourishment In such times. The president in a recent message to the recreation workers In America and Canada em phasized this, saying: All agencies which help to build health and character are especial ly necessary in these days and merit whole-hearted and generous support. Mr Clifford, chairman of the president's organization on unem ployment relief, while stressing the unemployment relief programs, added: It is Important, however, that localities give careful considera tion to a well-rounded commu nity program and undertake to carry forward health work where needs will be increased, child care, which will present even greater demands if the welfare of children is to be looked after, and that consider able group of activities of so called character-building agen cies for whose services there has probably never been a greater need, if the morale cf young people and adults is to be main tained. The Family Association of America, composed of 240 welfare REVIEWING WATKRBDHY’S ELECTION (Meriden Journal) Mayor Frank Hayes' re-election in Waterbury by a vote that shat tered all local records places him “well out In front as the state’s outstanding democrat," according to the Waterbury Democrat, and that paper thinks that "the way to Hartford or Washington Is opened up to him any time he cares to take It.” Due allowance should be made for the quite natural jubilation of the democratic editor but there ls‘ no denying that Mayor Frank re ceived a most remarkable endorse ment from his fellow citizens. The landslide that carried In Controller Daniel J. Leary, City Clerk John Fltsmaurlce, Tax Collector William Ennis, Treasurer Edward L. Tuttle, Town Clerk Dora Egan, Sheriff William J. Roach and Registrar of Voters Henry O'Connor In addi tion to aldermen and others showed conclusively that republi cans preferred the Hayes adminis tration. Waterbury Is normally democrat ic but the Hayes regime had been such an Improvement over the pre vious democratic administration that the overwhelming vote was in fact a personal tribute to the present executive. Some people note a somewhat similar situation in Meriden although this city Is rated as normally republican and the democrats have heretofore had to fight hard for viotory. In connection with ths Water bury election It will interest Iferi denites to know that the olty has discarded the unsatisfactory scheme of keeping some members of the board of education In office and will choose a whole board ev ery two years. Moreover the may or becomes a member of the board will have a leading voice In Its Thinks are different In the mayor is not

agencies in the principal cities ot the United States and Canada, which gave direct relief to more than four million persons last year, saying that there should be gen eral agreement with Mr Gifford's "understanding attitude," urges that only the most urgent calls for the necessities of life should make us neglect the elements of play and character-strengthening as a necessary part of a commu nity's good life. A lowering of pub lic health and morale would of necessity result in greater demands rpon family welfare agencies. It is paramount that the con structive program of a city, its family case work, its child care, its public health work, its re creation service, must not be al lowed to deteriorate because of the winter's extraordinary de mands for unemployment relief. As these services were supported when all the resources of the na tion were required to win the war. so they should now be continued in the same spirit. Our relief needs must be met, not at the expense of essential community services, but through the provision of addi tional resources to meet the total demand. It-cannot be that Amer ica is not able to face such an emergency. It is a time for every one who has and to spare to make sacrifice. This is the price that the individual must pay if he is to keep his freedom. Taking from the sup port of these services would be a weakening of the whole social structure. What is needed must come from a more rigorous per sonal economy and more generous sharing. The country should find seat in meeting such a situation and in showing what a free repub lic can do. THE NEW BRIDGE (New Britain Herald) The George Washington bridge across the Hudson river, between the district known as Fort Wash ington in New York city to Fort Lee in New Jersey, has been opened to traffic. The first result will be to make the Palisades and the territory contiguous more ac cessible to motorists and truckers on the eastern side of the Hudson. Real estate interests, or those who own land on that side of the Hud son. are anticipating good times. The engineer of thles $80,000, 000 structure was O. T. Atnmann whose name was never considered as appropriate for the bridge in view of the opinion from the be ginning that it should bear the name of the father of his country. Consequently the name of the man responsible for constructing this enormous span, and getting it done eight months ahead of schedule, In a short time will be no better known than the designer or chief engineer of the Empire Htate build ing or any of the other famous sky scrapers. It was different with the Holland tube. There the engineer grot his name attached to It by dying before the Job was com pleted. Crossing the Hudson on the bridge is a vastly better soul-sat isfying experience than 'reaching the other aldo through a tunnel. Autoists from New England, en route to points beyond the matroi oils, now are able to evade tbs

Letters numbering 2,812 have been written for War service work, and in addition we sent 880 letters for the Drought Relief campaign, and about 1,200 in connection with our Fourteenth Annual Roll Call, mak ing a total of 4,800 letters. Two thousand, six hundred cases have been acted on during the year as against 1,766 the preceding year. Of this number, 492 were new and reopened. Fifty-seven veterans have been admitted to hospitals and soldiers' homes during the past year. In arranging for these admittances, a great deal of work is involved on account of the family work with the Connecticut State Fund aid which is extended in all cases where veterans who enlisted from this state are hospitalised. Twenty-five veterans have died during the year, and three depend ent fathers of veterans, making a total of 28 death claims we have assisted in having adjudicated. Benefits secured for veterans and their families from the Veter ans Bureau have totaled 286,240. 67 claims tor compensation and pension Were filed for veterans, al lowances secured for them rang ing from 212 to 2105 per month. 921 applications were filed for the 50 per cent loan on Adjusted Service Certificates, which bill was passed in February, 1931, checks ranging from 250 to 2760, so that a large amount of money was secured through this office. A number of home visits and reference calls have been made, many contacts being made with the probate court for commitments to insane hosiptals, aoplntment of conservators and administrators of estates. The Veterans Bureau continues to ask our services in obtaining the social service reports yearly on all minors who receive benefits from the Veterans Bu reau. In this connection, we have 24 cases.

No Quarterly Police Shifts McLean Permits Department to Function “As Is’’— Personnel Greets News With Mingled Emotions Members of the three platoons of the local police department may now proceed with their plans for observing Thanksgiving, Christ mas and New Tear s eve. If they had any worries as to what hours they would be working on such Im portant festive occasions their minds may now be set at “ease” and how! Contrary to all expectations there will be no changes in the po lice department nefct Sunday morn ing, November 1st. Everybody Is to remain "as Is,” although It is possible that Superintendent Jo seph H. McLean may approve of a number of exchanges between men who have been negotiating for shifts from the afternoon to the morning platoons. The fact that the superintendent has announced that the quarterly changes affecting street men, switchboard operators and desk officers, which was scheduled to take effect October 1st and then postponed until November, would not be made this year. About fifty per cent of the boys will hear these tidings with no little pleasure and the other fifty per cent will prob ably provide substantial reasons for adopting a few resolutions when the first of the new year comes around. The fact that no changes will be made means also that the members of the motor patrol will continue on their pres ent arrangement of hours. No explanation has been given as to why the usual and expected shifts are not to be made. If eight or ten supernumerary policemen are retired to the Inactive list as generally expected November 1st the night motor patrol will be obliged to take over several uncov ered beats. Just at present some of the fin est are on the verge of collapsing, SIX KILLED WHEN TRAILER RUNS WILD Marion, Ark., Oct. 29.— (UP).— Six persona were killed and 23 others Injured near here to-day when a trailer broke loose from a motor truck and plunged down a six-foot embankment spilling its cargo of cotton pickers.

Prepare Annual .Personal Tax 60,000 Believed Liable for Yearly Assessment, Al though Index Has Not Been Officially Checked Preparation of the 1932 personal tax list is now being completed, it was stated to-day at the city hall. Enumeration of the persons in the city liable for the personal tax was conducted during the past eight weeks and now the Anal steps in indexing the new names obtained is taking place. This work is nec essary, it was pointed out, so that when the board of finance sits within a few days to begin budget work a tentative and nearly defi nite idea of the income to be ex pected from thies source will be available so that the figure may be set up in the 1932 estimated re sources. It is estimated roughly at this time that the enumerators have turned in about 60.000 names of persons who are liable for personal taxes. Of course there are many duplications and, also, there are many who are exempt under the various provisions of the law gov erning the payment of poll taxes. Therefore, the employes of the registrars’ office are now going over the new names, comparing the new list with the old one and setting up an index that is expected to be practically perfect. When the index hag been com pleted, the total number of names on the list will be taken and then the board of finance will be in 4 position to form an estimate on Income from personal taxes for the 1932 budget. Of course. It Is not expected that the list will contain 60,000 names when the final “wood ing out” has been completed. The board of finance will begin examining the proposed 1932 de* part mental figures next week. Considerable cutting will be neces sary, of course, but at the same time an effort will be made to cut the present 35 mill tax rate If such a thing is possible.
