All Members Waited to Hear What President Had to Say in His An nual Message—Speak er Garner Looks Very Much Like the Boss He May Prove to Be MOSES HAS BIG FIGHT IN SENATE By THOMAS li. STOKES (United Prcwi Sin IT Correspondent I Washington, Dec 8.— (UP)— .Congress met to-day to hear the president's message, with each house Involved in a light over side issues and temporarily unprepared to function. Tho hard legislative drive fore cast awaited receipt of the message embodying the desires and recom mendations of President Hoover. Democrats, controlling the house and nlmost evenly divided with republicans In the senate, could not frame a counter program until they know what tho administra tion proposed. Both houses fussed busily over side issues. The house was engag ed in a debate .over liberalization of the rule. This, important un der any circumstances, attracted especial attention because one re form endorsed by both parties would permit a direct vote on pro hibition. The llberalinzation pro gram was virtually certain of adop tion, but only after Home debate. The senate argued over who should be president pro tempore. The fight by a handful of insur gents to "humiliate" Senator Moses, republican. N. H., who now occupies the post, may tie up things, for several days. The In surgents are against Moses for sev eral reasons, the most spectacular being that he onco termed them "Hons of the wild Jackass.” They didn't like It and didn’t forget it.

PROGRESSIVE RACE SAYS RIPLEY Rotarians ition Quick To Accept Inventions Creations Tending to Save Labor and Add to Living Conveniences Welcomes By Citizens Who Do Not Oppose Progress Rapid public acceptance of de* Vices which tend to give the In dividual .convenience and save labor characterizes the American people today because they are not bound by tradition, are not opposed to change and do not worship their ancestors. This series of facts spiced the talk given at the meet ing of the Rotary club by C. M. Ripley, of the General Electric Company, Schenectady, N. Y. Formerly, he said, it took the publle years to accept anything. He Illustrated this by quoting figures. There are now 21 million tele phones In the world. It took twen ty-three years to get the first mil lion and now they are being added at the rate of one million every 18 months. It took twenty-two years before dne million electric lights were In stalled, now they are cCmlng In at the rate of one million every year. In 1896, there were four cars in the country. They are now added at the rate of one million a year and there are 27,000,000 in the Rorld. This country leads in accepting these devices. There are more telephones In New York state than in any foreign nation and more In Chicago than In France. Air mall has tripled in the Unltid States and air transporatlon is increasing. Contrary to general opinion, traveling by air is not dangerous. There were but eleven passengers on air transports killed the past year. However, during the same period of time there were 614 persons killed by animals (kicked, bitten, etc.); 101 by venomous animals; 391 by lightning; 1,100 scalded to death; 1,700 burned to death; 3, 000 by gunshot wounds; 700 by cuts; 2,600 by gas; 7,200 by drown ing; 369 from cold, 600 from the heat and only 12,000 froiji old age. Mr Ripley stated that he ob tained these figures from the. de partment of commerce to test a statement by an executive of an air transport line that "more people were killed by being kicked by a mule than from airplanes.” Foot ball, he said took 40 lives this fall and In New York state alone this fall 20 were killed hunting.

VICE SQUAD PLAN SAVES FINGER McLean Approves Hartford Method But Prefers Own Superintendent Has Supreme Confidence in Tabula tions Kept By Raiders and Key Used in Determin ing Second and Third Offenders of Prohibition Law Although approving of the new ly adopted plan of the Hartford police in photographing and finger printing convicted violator* of the liquor law, Superintendent Joseph H. McLean of the local police de partment stated today that there was little likelihood of this city's copying the scheme. "We have had experience similar to the Hart ford police, but no difficulty In de termining second or third offenders from "first timers.” The emer gency squad makes It a point to check up very closely on the rec ords of each accused and city court officials are acquainted with their standing as thoroughly as possible. Tho plan Is a good one and I am sure that it will prove very practi cal,” the snuperlntcndent remark ed today In discussing the plan. As evidence of the superintend ent’s confidence In the emergency squad's system of Identifying re peaters In the art of denting the dry laws Is the pending casq of Paul Daumls, 46, of the Bcott road, whose hearing takes place tomor row morning In city court. The case was scheduled for trial this morning, but was postponed ono day at the request of counsel. When Daumls was taken Into custody following a raid last Thurs day afternoon he was booked for the alleged Illegal manufacturing of moonshine. The squad raiding a barn on the Bcott road seised a 40-gallon still all set up for action, 22 gallons of moonshine, several hundred gallons of msah and about 10 gallons of wine. After giving the accused the "once over” the squad went Into a huddle and came out of It with tho Dr Fitzpatrick at Central YMCA Gave Instructive Lecture on How Germ of Ring Worm Acts Dr Edward Fltspatrlck wan the speaker at the T Health Forum last night. Ill* Hubject was “Ath lete's Foot.” This Is a condition that has existed for many years but with the Increased number of swimming pools In our cities has been transmitted to many others and has become quite prevalent. It is germ or ring worm that Im beds Itself under the skin particu larly In moist places such as be tween the toes and under ty® arms. The best way to avoid It is to use a little rubbing alcohol on the feet after bathing and to make a vigorous use of a towel. Most young fellow# do not take time enough after exercise and bathing to properly dry the body, particularly between the toes. This gives the ring worm an opportun ity to take hold. The speaker next week Is Dr Ed ward A. Herr on "Blood Transfu sion." Information that Daumls was also known as Oulka and Damls and Incidentally was not a newcomer In police circles. Including his lat est trip Daumls, Oulka or Damls has been arresteo five times In con nection with violations of the pro hibition act. All the past facts concerning the defendant have been unearthed by the police In event of a possible quiz. Speaking of the experiences of the Hartford police Judge William M. Harney remarked: "A situation has arisen In the court which makes In imperative for the author ities to take action. The use of fictitious names and the unwilling ness of accused to discuss past rela tions with the police have hindered the prosecution of cases. Hartford had a recent case In which an of fender was sentenced to Jail for thirty days. His plea of being a first offender was accepted. While he was working out the sentence It was discovered that he had been convicted on two previous occas ions. He was re-arrested and sen tenced to an additional sixty days’ term for prejury. Judges Harney and Richard T. Steele and Chief Garrett Farrell of the Hartford department after a conference announced the plan of “mugging” and finger printing all convicted violators of the liquor law. There will be many new faces soon In the rogue gallery of the Hartford police and the announce ment of the new scheme Is likely to call for a now line-up of club man agers and restaurants proprietors. The Waterbury police are suffi ciently Interested In the experiment to become Interested spectators of Its success.

Curtiss Boom Puts G O P Pow Wow On Ice Ticket Although a Political Incongruity Will Slide Through in Similar Manner to Snell-Tilson Bout Wellington—Vice President Cur tis havInn announced his decision to run aguin for his present office, the last possibility of anything ex citing or interesting occurring at the next republican Nutlonal con vention vanishes. There will bo some grumbling, of course, by the progressives ut the renominatlon of president Hoover, and It may even be that Jllram Johnson will make one of his tremolt speeches in derogation of his feudal foe. Jtut these* things will not uffeet the convention’s actions or stir any ser ious ripples upon the political sea. The administration supporters will refer to this condition us an example of the perfect harmony prevailing In the republican ranks. The franker republican factions will describe it as Inertia. It Is this prospective quietude which explains why there is so little rivalry among the Cities to get the republican convention, In contrast for compe tition for the democratic session, which, If precedent is followed, will l>» hold two weeks luter. Vice President Curtis's decision to stick to the national ticket ra ther than risk the uncertainties of a Kansas .Senatorial election has been hailed by the rather mourn ful group of Hoover cheer leaders ns evidencing the confidence of the Kansan tnll of the ticket in repub llera success next year. In Kan sas apparently. Judging by the newspaper comments out there. It is regarded as Indicating merely a preference to going down with the big ship rather than being swvupcd in a small boat. It Is compared in its political signifi cance to the curious battle between Bertram Snell, of New York, anil John Q. Tllson, of Connecticut, for the sorry consolation prize of min ority leadership in the house of representatives, where for so long these two, with tho late Speaker Nicholas Longworth, resigned and riilgd as the unquestioned despots of the lower chamber of Congress. That is, it is simply an effort to salvage whatever is possible rfom the wreck of their party. Kvery manifestation nowadays apparently has some hearing on the stutiis of President Hoover In the public esteem. Tilson was Hoov er's most complacent Iltutenant. Whatever the President suggested the republican floor leader tried to tiring ubout regardless of his own views, predilections, or principals. Compared with Tllson, Snell was a rebel. He opposed tho president on the later’s proposal of a Joint com mittee to consider prohibition ques tions, on the bonus loan extension, and Snell, after Congress had ad journed, boldly announced in a speech in New York that this coun try haq "gone tho limit” on the tar iff and conveyed the broad Intima tion that It had to bo lowered, This statement was made at a time when the sacroeunclty or the Hmoot-Harwley enactment wae a primary tenet of the admlnletlon and all the faltful were presenting a united front to the Demoortnc atfuckH on tho Grundy measure. Consequently the nomination of Snell as the republican candidate for tho speakership, a hopeless, fft tllo nomination In view Of the democratic majority In the House. Is regarded as another slap at President Hoover. The Hoover-Curtls ticket, now definitely determined on, la a curi ous political Incongruity. Hoover never wanted the Kansas senator as a running mate. At the Kansas City convention It was generally accepted that Hoover's first choice was Dawes, and his second, Han ford MacNIder, because of the lat ter’s prominence In tho A, E. P. organisation. Dawes would not come In nnd MacNIder had little appenl to the delegates who rather sullenly nrcepted the Hoover can didacy. Nobody was more out spoken against that candidacy thnn Charlie Curtis. In a public speech of expostulation Curtis told his uudienca that If Hoover were nom inated the republican party would be kept apologising for him until the potlR closed on election day. After that election, tho late Sen ator Caraway suggested that Cur tis had been misunderstood; that, whereas It was assumed that he mennt election day of 1928, subse quent events, Caraway stated, indi cated that he meant that his party would keep on apuloglzing for him until the polls closed on election day, 1932. Obviously the republi can candidate for president could not feel very enthusiastic at having to link arms with a politician who entertained so unflattering an opin ion of him. However, the conven-, tlon paid no attention to the presi dent's wishes and now it Is evident that the strange partnership will be continued through the peril of 1932. Tho seasoned old political veter an— Curtis will be 73 years old when next Inauguration day comes around—has enjoyed the highly ornatgental Job of vice president perhaps more than any other Indi vidual who ever occupied that of fice. On the surface at least there has been peace between him and the president. True, the vice president took the Kansas view against that colossal administra tion blunder, the gambling Farm Hoard, and on some other matters, but on the whole, Curtis and Hoover have gotten along with about ns much harmony as usually exists between the ruler and the heir apparent. Whether thnt mnnsure of harmony will continue through the coming period of stress and probable disaster re mains to be seen. THE TALK OF THE TOWN F.&W. GRAND BANK TO SO.

GRACE BAUM PR1MA DONNA Her Rendition of Classical and Operatic Numbers Was Great Success AT BUCKINGHAM HALL Grace Baum, prima donna who appeared at Buckingham hall, Sunday night at the second annual concert of the Braes City Band, hae returned to New York after being the guest of leaders In the lo cal musical circles. Her appear ance Sundny night and her rendi tion of many classical and operu tlc numbers evoked much praise. The concert as a whole, which was offered under the direction of Pro fessor A. Ortone, was declared one of the best so far this season. Professor Ortone was highly com pllmented for the excellent manner In which the program was offered. Iiovers of grand opera music In Wnterbury expressed themselves as well pleased not only with Miss Baum’s singing and the capable di recting of Professor Ortone,’ but also with the singing of Sadie Yel len, well known New York soprano, nnd the playing of the Brass City band. 8. A. White, accompanist for the singers, was also highly complimented. It is understood that later in the month these art ists will appear In Torrlngton and the news of their success with the Wuterbury audience has already served to create much Interest In that city, GOVT CONTROL OF EDUCATION MUCH OPPOSED Bishop Turner of Buffalo Diocese Says Catholic Schools Would Be En dangered By Such a Move Buffalo, N. Y., Dm; 8.—(UP)— Bishop 'William Turner, head of the diocese of the Catholic church, has linked members of hie church, to oppose projects for federal control of education. In u radio address over station WKHW here last night Bishop Turner said that "the Cath olic church Is on the defensive," and that federul control of edu cation would "threaten the millions of dollars now Invested In our own educational systems." "For years there has been a move afoot to concentrate educa tional control In Waslilntgon," Bishop Turner said. "This would, we believe, work a detriment to all private and parochial schools. We feel that our educational system Is being threatened. We have mil lions of dollars Invested In build- I lugs and maintenance. The supreme court has given and hns upheld us In the right to teach our children as we believe they should be taught. "It Is our duty to do all In our power by propaganda and protest to oppose any action Of con gress to establish a federal de partment of education." Justice Holmes Is on Supreme Bench for Thirty Years Washington. Dec 8—(UP)—Jus tire Oliver Wendell Holme*, Idol of American liberals and Dean of American Jurists, today began his JOth year in the supreme court. The Jurist Is not likely to take nor permit others to take official recognition of the fact that It was on Dec 8, 1902, that he ascended the bench as an appointee of Presi dent Roosevelt. Holmes’ attitude Is one of attention to duty. Has achieved that philosophical out look which enables him to find his life’s chief recompense In never ceasing work.

By and large ho Is a great artist as was evidenced last night In his remark able performance, from the almost impossible business of the "Varia tions on a Theme of Paganini” by Brahms to the simplest passage In cluded In any one of his program numbers. The playing of the “Vari ations" was a beautiful thing and a marvelous feat of Anger dexter ity us well; listening and looking one heard and saw a remarkable piece of piano playing. And there was no feeling that Iturbi was at tacking something gigantic in his enfolding of the “Variations” rath er the result was not burdened with an apparent effort, but was a big thing done spontaneously and with a marked smoothness. There was no particular high spot on the program of Iturbi, us each number was a Anlshed pro duct under his great technical skill, his weaving of phrases, and most lovely tone constantly echoing with a pianissimo and fortissimo cleverly blended yet each distinct one from the other. Iturbi played his program with Just one large puuae between parts one and two: the rest of the program was con tinued with little or no wait be tween the numbers, but Instead the artist went from one selection to the other as In one large piece. The strains of Debussy were merg ed Into "Pavane" by Havel, and the melodic lino of “Fete Dieu a Se ville” by Albenls, merged Into "La Campunella" by Paganlnl-Llszt”, with which splendid playing Iturbi closed his program. Two sonatlnns by Scarlatti open ed the program, and the lovely pure tones of this offering were carried out In Mozart’s "Sonata in a major. No 9” that followed with Its threo lovely movements, otto" and ’Allegretto (alia tur ca)”. The ‘Variations' by Brahms concluded the first portion of the program. After this final excellent execution of a rare thing seldom attempted, Mr Iturbi played as an encore a Brahms waits. Part two i of the program had Chopin, Debussy, Ravel, Albenl* and Liszt Included. Three etudes were given in the opening Chopin. The two Debussy contributions, as delicately and finely played ue tho etudes, were "Serenade a la Poupee’ and "L’lsle Joyeuse”, each charming und euch expressing an entirely different mood ulthough similar,In the Intricacy of changing harmonies ehura BACHELOR” With Paul Lukas.

Will Defeat Hoover And Hard limes In 1932 Is Prediction Madame Fraya, the French Seer, Has Been Foretelling All Big Events for Very Many Years and With Amazing Truthfulness By RALPH HEIN7iE (Copyright, illl, by United Press) Paris, Dec 8—(UP)—The end ot "hard times” next summer and defeat pf President Hoover next November were predicted to-day for the United Press by Madame Fraya, French seer. She foretold a year ago the slump of sterling, death ot Joffre, war in Manchuria, overthrow of Alfonso and rise to power of Pierre Laval. _ By midsummer, Madame Fraya predicted, ‘‘America will be smiling again and happy days will be back on Wall street.” "The United States will repialn in an economic slump until sum mer but before the end of the year America will again be leading the world toward riches and prosper ity.” she said. The great catastrophles of 1932 will not be caused by wars but by waters, Madame Fraya said. She predicted catastrophles at sea, Hoods and tidal waves but no wars or revolutions. She saw the disappearance of Briand from the political horizon by death or retirement. "We are still under the disas trous influence of Saturn—that ac counts for our misfortunes—and this will continue through several months of 1932 but constantly di minishing. Water will be respon sible for the world's cataclysms of 19"The American ejections will bring a complete change of politics. Hoover will not be re-elected. In South America there will be much political agitation, a change of gov ernment in Argentine but no more revolutions. _ "In Europe no thronea -will tot ter, no dictators will quit their power, no revolutions will over throw established governments, no rulers will die at an assassin's hands during 1932. It will be the quietest year, politically, for some time. "The May elections In France will see a slight Bwing to thfe right center. Pierre Laval will ride through many political storms and be in power for the elections. I see the disappearance by death or retreat of a great French peace maker. I see new men In politics, particularly an active young man who will rise to great rank. France need fear no revolution; her eco nomic troubles will be over In a few months. Unemployment will end before summer, “Spain will be comparatively quiet. The republican regime will have Its difficulties but there will be no restoration of the monarchy. Alfonso has lost his throne and will never find It again.” Madame Fraya studied the lines In the royal palm of Alfonso and' told him frankly that he must find other work. Alfonso has conildence In the French woman despite the fact that her messages to him are al ways gloomy, for she was the first to warn him of his fate when he visited her while passing through Paris several years ago. She pre dicted a bloodless revolution at that time. Recently, Alfonso returned at the Insistence of friends. His fu ture left no doubt In the mind of Madame Fraya who toiq him In stantly that there was no hope of a restoration.

This is revealed in the budget figures as sent to the aldermen last night by the board of finance. This one mill reduction must not be taken lightly cither. It was secured principally because all city employes will take a 10 per cent wage cut. This amounts to more than $300.00.0 and is equivalent to one mill. That fact is highly significant, we think. It certainly means that if our tax rates in the future are to decrease it will be Only by limiting the city's expenses to up keep and salaries. If the city is to continue such progress as any municipality desires and its citizens demand, something will have to be done about increasing the revenue /of Waterbury. Ia what way that can be done remains per* haps as much of a quandary to local officials as it does to others throughout the state. It must not be imagined that such conditions axe confined solely to Waterbury. The formation of a Municipal League in Con necticut this fall ought to have convinced all that matters of taxation are not bother ing Waterbury alone. Our city Officials throughout the tsatc arc discussing every possible means of new revenue, increasing the old, etc. A revision of water rents in this city will probably result in a saving in that municipal department. Water is cheap, relatively speaking. For the amount of money that this city has invested in its water works it fills to get a* proportionate return. I hat fact has been recognized for years. It re sulted directly in the use of meters. Still there is room for improvement. We ex pect some revised schedule to be put into effect perhaps within the next year or so. But we maintain, as we always have and always will, that any revision should not make the domestic consumer bear the brunt or water rents. We don't believe in selling water at reduced rates where consumption increases. The commercial user should be taxed more than the home owner who uses water simply for domestic purposes. In the course of time Waterbury may profit by discussions of the Municipal League. In the interim all we can do is to pay our taxes and contribute our share to the support of the city. But our participation in municipal matters might become more active. By interesting ourselves in civic matters we are better able to see where our money is going and to what purpose it is being put. There may be objections to a 34 mill tax. but we must remember that it was 35 mills last year and almost 42 the year previous. And to offset those decreases the cost of municipal government has been on the increase, rather than on the decrease. Waterbury could be worse off than she is. We should congratulate Mayor Hayes and his administration in keeping the tax rate down where it is. President Hoover Speaks The message of President Herbert Hoover to the 72nd Congress today is in striking contrast with that of two years ago. Although the stock market crash was even then resounding around the world there was no need for this nation to worry. However, conditions today are such that they can t be passed by with a mere word or two. Mr Hoover and his republican confreres found that to their discomfiture as the days rolled by and still prosperity remained just around the corner. In endeavoring to face the sit uation today Mr Hoover adopts an opti mistic note. That much is in his favor. However, we expect that Congress will, treat hit recommendations with about as much respect as the two Houses have in the last two years. Naturally much of the message is con cerned with domestic problems that reach into every home. Unemployment relief of various natures is discussed and rather thor oughly, too. We learn that the President is opposed to the dole. We are in agree ment with him on that point. The United States must make a thorough study of old age pensions, unemployment insurance, and the like, or it will find itself in the same position as many European nations today where initiative is seldom found in the mid dle-aged worker. The dole has raised havoc in England. It must be approached cau tiously in the United States. It goes under many names in this country. Mr Hoover speaks with pride of the ac complishments of his Federal Farm Board. Evidently he isn't paying much attention to the disclosures that Senator Norris and other members of the Senate are obtaining from officials of the cooperative agencies through which the Federal Farm Board operates. We note that farmers are raising abundant crops through Federal Farm Board aid. Yes, but they are not selling these crops. Cotton, gram, and potatoes are rotting above or be low the ground. Grapes are going well in concentrated form. That also is due to Fed eral Farm Board. The California grape growers are about the only group that we know of who are profiting by government money. Muaele Shoals will be given attention when the President'* special commission re- ports on it. Congress will probably be glad to know that. However, Mr Hoover can rest assured that whatever he decides should be done with Muscle Shoals will receive scant attention from Congress. We think the President is right in exhorting Congress not to authorize more veterans' expenditures. Perhaps with money so tight now Congress will agree for once. Presidential messages are at best cold things. It took an execu tive like Woodrow Wilson to infuse into them the living spirit that is often necessary to secure cooperation. Perhaps Wilson’s personal reading of the message to both Houses accounted for this. We anticipate no hearty response to President Hoover’s message other than legislation to carry us through these perilous times. A Muddled Case The board of finance in cutting from the school department budget the salary item of the proposed dean of girls at Wilby High school ends a situation that must have proved a serious embarrassment to the desig nated appointee. It evidently could have been avoided with a little forethought and action upon the part of the school officials. It certainly looks as if they did not investi gate very thoroughly before creating the position of dean of girls. Had they done so they might have found out at the begin ning that there would be no money avail able for additions to the teaching staff. And had they secured this information they might have spared the appointee con siderable trouble and perhaps expense. If criticism is to be directed at any one indi vidual or group it certainly must be aimed at those repsonsible for the appointment. We should think that it would have been far better to create the position and to fill it only after the extra salary had been ap proved by the proper officials. Then would have been time enough to have named some body to be dean of girls at Wilby. And not until then. As it stands now the appointee is with out a teaching position. The school de partment has been denied its new office. And considerable antagonism to all concerned has been aroused throughout the city by pub lished reports of the matter. We presume the school officials are cognizant of the fact that the name of the appointee has been bandied back and forth by the Waterbury Republican and American in an effort to supplant her in the office of dean of girls. If that is any credit to these officials then we view it in an entirely different light. It would be far wiser in the future to spend the city's money after finding out whether or not we have it to spend. Soot Catchers Another pleasant bit of news from Chi cago'— people’s necks are cleaner. Espe cially business men's necks. This is not be cause uncleanly men have suddenly become cleanly, but because honest efforts at clean liness at last accomplish something. Life in the Loop has long been a losing battle against smoke, dust and soot. Now the head of the smoke prevention bureau proudly reports progress, both hygienic and sartorial. "A million Chicago men,” he says, “owe the comfort of the soft white shirt with col lar attached to the work of the city’s seven smoke inspectors. It is possible now to wear a white collar two days, where a few year ago a collar became gray in less than a day. And the air of Chicago grows steadily cleaner. In the three years we have had sample soot catchers, the annual deposit of soot and dust has decreased from 325 tons for each square mile to 250 tons.” Blessed is the town, in this industrial age, where a white collar can be worn for two days without embarrassment or social ostra cism. Possibly Pittsburgh itself is in this class now; there have been Herculean ef forts to cleanse the air there in recent years. But while the smokiest cities have been get ting cleaner, some of the clean cities, as they grow industrially, have been getting dirtier. Filthy air is no longer necessary. There are ways to prevent it, and they are ways that more than pay for the effort and expense. The nation needs more "sample soot catchers.” Christmas Jobs The Postoffice Department has faith in Santa Claus. Postmaster-General Brown the other day authorized the temporary em ployment, starting on December 13, of 176,205 extra workers to handle Christ mas mail. They will be needed for at least 10 days. It is estimated that 171,070 tem porary clerks, carriers and laborers will be employed, as well as 3.200 extra railway mail deks, 1,000 helpers in the motor vehicle department service, 600 rural carriers and 35 auxiliary carriers on long routes. This extra service is expected to cost the department $5,132,123. Apparently it is to be Christmas as usual, even if expensive gifts are replaced by the home-made ones and expensive greeting cards give way to simple notes and postcards. Representative William L. Tierney of Greenwich was interviewed in Washington last week as he prepared for the opening of Congress yesterday by Ward E. Duffy of the Hartford Times. Mr Tierney is quoted as saying in regard to the senatorial situation in this state that "If Homer S. Cummings de cides to run for the Senate, he can safely count on the united support of my section of Fairfield county.” Naturally if Mr Cum mings is the nominee of the democratic par ty next fall he will secure not merely the support of Fairfield county, but of every other county in the state. The democrats won't refuse to back him with a splendid chance of defeating the republican incum hent, Senator Hiram A. Bingham of New Haven. But Mr Cummings has to be re nominated before he can run. And he has to signify his intention of seeking political honors before democrats will seek to run him for political office. Some years ago he retired definitely from active participation in democratic politics. He has yet to announce hit reentry. On one point we heartily agree with Repretentative Tierney. He tpealu of public improvements as a means of relieving unemployment and national distress. As a means of raising taxes he suggests legalized sale of liquor, "at least beer and wine.” We have been doing that for some time. We can't think of taxes that would be paid more cheerfully than those on liquors. The wets aren’t the only ones to intro duce measures pertaining to prohibition into this session of Congress. Senator Morris D. Sheppard of Texas, co-author of the 18th amendment, is preparing to reintroduce a bill that would make the buyer of intoxi cants as guilty as the seller. If anybody considers the act of denying a peoples the right to buy or decline spirituous liquors presumption this companion bill is just a bit beyond that. Federal legislation is steadily advancing to the point where there is no personal liberty or guraantee of it. Isn’t this nation founded on such tenets as are de feated by sumptuary regulations like the 18th amendment? State control of liquors may not secure the ends desired by abstemious persons, but it is much better than chaotic conditions over which even a government has no control. Reading about Washington's route through Connecticut to take command of the Continental army in Cambridge back in 1775 recalls to us Waterbury’s part in the Revolution. A short time ago there was a rededication of a monument at Southing ton where Rochambeau and his French army were supposed to have encamped while en route to the Hudson. Rochambeau’s army passed through Waterbury on that occasion They also passed through the city some months later whan they were returning. That was in 1781, according to Dr Ander son's history of this city. Some time it might be well for the city and state au thorities to map out Rochambeau's route with an appropriate series of monuments. There are only a few now. Here’s good news for some unemployed. The state forestry department is going to provide jobs for 200 men in state forests and parks. Of course those who apply for these jobs will need plenty of brawn and re sistance to stand the strenuous outdoor work. The work will consist of thinning out stands of timber and clearing fire lines, both of which are extremely necessary. At last it has been discovered what to do with prison convicts. Sing Sing shows the way. Make football players of them. We should think Reno would also find some way to collect a percentage of the ali mony. All vehicles must be lighted not later than 4:54 to-night. Personal Health Service (By William Brady, M. D.)

PNKIMONIA PROPHYLAXIS Candidly I have little respect for authorities as authorities. So often an authority proves to be wrong. This is particularly in reference to medicine and medical authorities. Medical opinion, unsupported by actual test or by sci entific experiment, is apt to be very mislead ing. The old timers had a lot of queer notions, and many of these notions are still current, and one who ventures to question or scout the gets the name of being a radical. Kven Osl£r himself fell into the error of Imagining a person could catch cold from him self. While Sir William was frank and fair enough to admit that exposure to cold did not cause pneumonia, but, as he believed, only lowered resistance and rendered one vulner able to the invasion of the lungs by Pneumo cocci, he nevertheless Imagined that pneumo nia ‘'in the great majority of cases is an auto infection"—that is, the Pneumococci which most persons normally harbor in mouth and throat treacherously attack the lungs as soon as they find tlio resistance down. Of course Os ier had no better ground for this quaint theory to cold "lower resistance." But it was a notion generally accepted by the doctors ot the day, and a few of the old timers still cherish some such notion. However, there is no scientific evi dence that everyday exposure such as every body experiences now and then, renders the lungs or othfer tissues more vulnerable to In fection. All these notions are Just quaint no tions, and it doesn't make them more respect able because great medical authorities of the past held such notions or very eminent doctors of our own time still hold such notions. If there is any advantage In the use of an tiseptics in the hope of preventing pneumonia, which I personally doubt but some good doc tors believe In, then I am sure no antiseptic one can use as mouthwush, gargle, spray or nose irritation or snuff, is superior to boric acid. Merely from experience and observation I have long believed that boric acid, is parti cularly efficacious against Pneumococcus. So If you would like to use uny antiseptic in the at tempt to uvoid contracting pneumonia, I should recommend a solution of a rounded tbaspoon ful of boric acid in a quart of boiled water, as mouthwash, throat spray, or nasal irrigation. I do not recommend the snuffing of a pinch of boric acid powder into the nostrils, but several readers, who have used it so each night and morning for a few weeks, declare that it gives much benefit for chronic rhinitis. Probably better prophylaxis than the use of aniiseptics is the cure of the teeth. Unless the teeth ure kept in sound condition, free of any cavities or pus pockets or ureas qf Infection about roots, one cun scarcely hope to discour age the virulent tendencies of the Pneumococ cus. Likewise it is important to have uny foci of infection in the tonsils eradicated—often this is most satisfactorily done by diathermy treatment. Of course the main preventive measure against pneumonia is to keep out of the spray range of the patient.

SPEED THE MILK FUND Editor Democrat: The milk fund seems to be dragging along with only a few dollars added to the total each day. I think Wa terbury can do a better Job if we only resolve to do so. Of course $10,000 is a lot of money to raise at a time like this, but when we know every penny is going into such a worthy cause it does seem as if the whole amount could be raised in less time than it is. Don't you think it would be a good Idea if the churches set aside one Sun day morning for a "milk fund cel lection? 1 should think that at least $1,000 could be raised in this way. Then if the schools would stage a pageant at the armory and sell tickets for the aflair no doubt another thousand would be de rived. It would also prove to the public that the schools as a whole are behind the movement. And why not a tag day for the milk fund. Surely we could get another WHAT! NO SANTY CLAUS Editor Democrat: The lights along the streets look splendid and the stores are nicely decorated for Christmas. But I miss Santy Claus. I visited Howland-Hughes and was disappointed not to find Santy Claus 'on the job. I wonder what has happened to him this year. None of the stores or windows have the Jolly old fellow. Is it due to the depression? Has Santy Claus lost his Job? If so, why doesn’t Mr Harris loan a few of the un employed to pose as Santy Claus. It doesn’t seem right to enter a store at Christmas time and tind Santy Claus missing. Depression, or no depression, we must have our Santy Claus. Yours truly, T. C. E. $500. Any good idea for raising money will help instead of letting it drag along as at present. Sincerely, Waterburian. At The National Capitol DAILY WASHINGTON LETTER A Digest of Who’s Who and What’s What By HODNEV OL'TCHKK Washington.—Trudging around ,Capitol Hill. A thousand men and women who work (or the house of representatives and its members are talking—and many grieving—about the real tragedy In democratic control of the house. Three or four hundred re publican appointees committee clerks, doorkeepers, sergeants-at arms, pages, messengers, guides, elevator operators and so on— have been worrying ever since No vember, 1930, when it first seem ed that the democrats might or ganize the house. Now the axe seems about to fall. A few will be retained, some will go Job-hunting and others will return to the old home town. The senate side of the Capitol is more cheerful. But you find Sena tor Bob LaFollette of Wisconsin busier, more serious than ever, his staff preparing surveys and sum maries to show the need of fed eral "famine relief.” Bob's fa mous sideburns have been short ened. You find Senator Edward P. Costlgan of Colorado reading let ters from anxious admirers who Inquire whether he Is now getting his proper rest and sleep. They read that the senator, who lives In an apartment next the national zoo, had complained about a crane howling In the night. Fact Is Costl gan didn’t complain. He likes cranes. Manager of his apartment house, with other tenants protest ing, asked Costlgan if he couldn’t use his Influence to silence the crane. In the corridor you see Senator George McGill of Kan sas, with a little round derby perched on a little round head. Up for re-election next year in a republican state, he got married lately despite the uncertainty. Entering an office, you receive pro fuse thanks from an extremely dry senator who telephoned you last Saturday afternoon, banks being closed, and said he was trying to raise *100 cash to get dear friend out of town. You don’t tell him that *50 of the *85 you raised for him came by sending another fel low to cash a check at a speak easy, which seemed to be the only place that had any currency. The senate restaurant, opened a few weeks ago, proves crowded. You cross the Capitol grounds to the Methodist building, cluttered by in-town senators during summer but not now. There's Chesley Jurney, secretary to Senator Cope land of New York and president of the League for Modification of the Volstead Act, who remarknbly oc cupies one of the building’s few apartments under the same roof with Dr Clarence True Wilson, the Methodist Board of Temperance. Prohibition and Public Morals and such famous Methodist drys as Senator Joe Robinson of Arkansas. Congressmen 'Ruth Bryan Owen of Florida ana Homer Hoch of Kan sas and Dr James Shera Montgom ery. chaplain of the house. The Methodist building steps are always littered with cigarette butts and burnt matches, dropped re spectively by customers at the Methodist dining room going In and customers going out. They serve dandy food there, but you can’t smoke, which makes many people mad. The manager says he Is sorry hut that the rule lets him serve three times normal rapaeltv been use as fast as people finish eating they rush out and light up. In the washroom is a penciled card saying "Good corn. Apartment 400." You scratch your head be cause No. 400 is hired by ex-Sena tor and Mrs Rice W. Means of Colorado. Means is dry, so it can’t be corn liquor. But this isn’t any season for nice green corn, either. You phone the apartment and Mrs Means intensities the mystery by saying she doesn’t know what it's all about. Back in the senate office building you find Vice-Presi dent Curtis out, but manage to sur vive that blow because there is Lola Williams of Kansas, his secre tary and this correspondent's fa vorite among blonds. Y'ou stay there as long as you can think of things to say. Under the window they are excavating 40 or 60 feet for a new wing and Miss Williams says it is so fascinating that It's hard for a girl to keep her mind on her work. After find half a dozen more senators out os busy you call It n day and go read the latest statement from tho Navy league. FREIGHT STREET PARKING Editor Democrat: Why are "No Parking” signs posted on Freight street? It is certainly wide enough to permit the parking of cars. No congestion at all except for a few minutes at noon and night. Pretty soon we’ll have to leave our cars in Klondike and then come down town to do our trading. I think the ordinance here Is a silly one. Sincerely, Autoist. JERUSALEM CAPTURED On December 8, 1917, Jerusalem surrendered to General Allenby and the British forces. Jerusalem’s capture was the seventh fall of the Holy City be fore besiegers since its stqrmy his tory began more than 3,000 years ago. Welsh and home country troops advanced from the directicn of Bethlehem, drove back the enemy; and, passing Jerusalem on the east,,, established themselves on the Jeru salem-Jerlcho road. At the same time London In fantry and dismounted yeomanry attacked the strong enemy posi tions west and northwest of Jeru salem and placed themselves astride the Jerusalem Shechem road. Isolated, the Holy City sur rendered to General Allenby. Brit ish, French and Mohammedans safeguarded the holy places. Oeneral Allenby had begun his offensive In Palestine with the capture of Jerusalem as his ob jective with the taking of the city of Beersheba on October 31, 1917. QUOTATIONS I think my English pretty damn good. —Lupe Velez, movie star. The nation which has no control over Its defence forces is not a re sponsible nation. —Mahatma Gandhi. I did not meet Greto Garbo. No body can; she’s too shy. —Vicki Baum, celebrated author. Here, There And Everywhere Mil COLE VS MB BROOKHART —BOTH OF LOW A (New York Herald-Tribune) The Hon Cyrenus Cole, repre enting the 5th Congress District of Iowa, long known foy his Inci sive thrusts at sham and hyproclsy has again taken the measure of Senator Smith Wildman Brook hart. It Is probably too much to hope that this rampageous person can ever be effectively curbed so long as ho has the privilege of broadcasting through a senate mi crophone. However ,!t Is refreshing to learn how he Is regarded by a member of his own party In his own state. Mr Cole, who has always retain ed his poise and sense of humor, has never thought It necessary to resort to bathos or overstatement in describing the condition of the farmer. Six years ago he and Sen ator Brookhart, it Is related, were to divide a two-hour period of oratory at a county fair. The sen ator took one hour and fifty-seven minutes grieving over the plight of the agriculturist. In the three min utes left Mr Cole observed: “If we are all headed for dire poverty here in Iowa, thank God we can at least go to the poorhouse in our own motor cars.” Recently he rebuked the senator for undertaking to form an anti Hoover alliance with former Mayor Thompson of Chicago, whereupon Mr Brookhart courteously accused him of “sucking eggs for Wall street.” “The ‘financial crowd’ and •Wall street1 are merely your own obsessions, a bogey which you have paraded all your political life—an appeal to prejudice," replied Mr Cole. "One cannot play fast and loose with party and principle and always survive.” This exchange of pleasantries arouses more than casual attention because of the report that Mr Cole Is considering opposing Mr Brook hart for the republican senate nomination next year. When Dan iel Steck, democrat, won from Mr Brookhart he carrlod the Cole congress district by 19,000. At the same time Mr Cole was re-elected by more than 30,000. "There are worse things than defeat, one of them being the loss of self-re spect.” Is Mr Cole’s retort to Mena tor Brookhaj't’H suggestion that the representative from Cedar Rapids may be retired from public life. GOV RITCHIE FACES A LYNCHING (Springfield Republican) Governor Ritchie’s devotion to states’ rights would compel him to veto, as president, a bill granting jurisdiction over cases of lynching to the federal authorities and courts. The state of Maryland will attend to its own lynchings. It was to the governor's credit, there fore, that when he heard of the lynching at Salisbury, Md, on Fri day, he cut short a visit In New York and took the next train for home. That the governor should do something is obvious; that he will do something effective is to be hoped. The prisoner, a negro, was in jail when his place of confine ment, provided by the state of Maryland, was lawlessly invaded by a mob, which did thereupon out rage the sovereign power of the commonwealth by putting the pris oner to death without the authority of the courts and with contempt for the prisoner's constitutional rights. This wanton encroachment upod the jurisdiction of Maryland was not committed by the federal gov ernment. The state's sovereignty in this case was undermined by a group of its own citisens arrogat ing to themselves certain legal functions In such a way as tem porarily to establish on Maryland soil a state of insurrection or an archy. Here is an opportunity for Governor Ritchie to fortify states' rights by standing that mob on Its head. Its members for the most part must be known. When a lynching mob challenges and flouts the authority of a state, an exceptional opportunity is pre sented to vindicate the majesty of Its laws and justify Its claim to ex clusive Jurisdiction in the defense of the civil rights of Its population. Rpaln may increase automotive and tobacco taxes. Large sugar plantations la Brasil are beginning to use tractors.

Alleged Wholesale Slayer Powers Will Gamble On His Life Prefers to Take His Chances With a Jury Than to Be Declared Insane By Medical Authorities By SIDNEY B. WHIPPLE (United Pram Staff Correspondent) Clarksburg, West Va, Dee 8.— (UP)—The life of Harry F. Powers, mail order romeo, will be gambled against legal technical ities with the accused slayer pre ferring death to a ruling that he is insane, it was indicated as his trial swung into its second day. J. Ed Law, defense attorney, has permitted the state to admit all evidence concerning discovery of the body of Mrs Dorothy Pressler Lemke in the drainage ditch be hind the Powers garage at Quiet Dell. He has attempted to keep some testimony from the Jurors who were named so speedily yesterday, but those efforts have failed. Judge John C. Southern has overruled every defense motion, including a plea for a change of venue. Therefore, it was felt to-day, tho trial which has been made the oc casion for a Roman holiday In Clarksburg, will furnish the evi dence on which Powers’ counsel will appeal to a higher court. The defense probably will charge the state has shown-no connection be tween Powers and the crime, and that prejudice In the community against Powers defeated Justice. As Jurors were questipned as to their knowledge of the' case, lurid copies of a song /entitled “The Crime at Quiet pell" were being sold by street hawkers. They also offered yellow backed editions of •'The Llfpof Bluebeards.” The song recited the gory details of the five murders discovered on the Quiet Dell farm—Mrs Lemke, and Mrs Asta Buick Etchers and her three children—then concludes with this rousing chorus: “This is a solemn warning then To all the ladies fair— Do not confide in strangers that You meet from everywhere. A moral lesson this should teach For one can never tell. Lest you be lured unto your doom Like those at Quiet Dell.” All these stage effects seem to please Powers who showed not the slightest fear or worry during the first day’s proceedings. He sat with his back to the crowd in Moore’s Opera House, his bushy hair neat ly cut for his day in court, and his short legs Just short of touch ing the floor. When the state introduced the relics of the crimes in which he is accused, such as the green flowered dress in which Mrs Lemke was wrapped in her shal low grave, he craned his neck to see Just as did others in the crowd of 1,200 present. The state has laid the founda tion for its case. It has introduced testimony, to show that Dorothy Lemke's body was found, garrotted, in the grave at the Powers garage. It Das given in evidence the cloth ing she wore when she left her home in Northboro, Mass, to “make her home in. the west,” with Cor nelius O. Pierson—the alibi un der which Powers ran his matri monial campaign. The state has shown that clothing belonging to Mrs Lemke was found in the Powers home after her body Mothers, Mix This At Home for a Bad Cough You’ll be pleasantly surprised when you make up this simple borne mixture and try it for a distressing cough due to a cold.

Thoreau of Concord, Mass, Who Wrote Essay in 1849 BY WEBB MILLER United Press Staff Correspondent. London, Dec 8.— (UP)—The term “civil disobedience” made famous In India by the Mahatma Gandhi was invented by an Ameri can, Henry D. Thoreau of Concord, Mass, Gandhi revealed before he left England for India. Gandhi chose the name to de scribe his unique political weapon of non-violent resistance, called "Swtyagraha” in the Indian langu age. He told the correspondent how he first came upon t'he term civil disobedience in an essay written by Thoreau in 1849, in which Thoreau, a naturalist and philosopher, as sailed the United States govern ment for its attitude on slavery and the Mexican war. Thoreau him self practiced the creed and was arrested at Concord for refusal to pay the poll tax as a demonstration of non-allegiance to the govern ments policies. uanam saia ne nrsi reaa Thoreau, at Johannesburg in 1908. “The name Thoreau had evolved so well fitted my creed that I adopted it,” the Mahatma said us he squatted on a blanket within three feet of a roaring coal fire, like an animated mummy, hulf shrouded in voluminous home spun cloth and twirling his pat ent spinning wheel dexterously. "X was entranced with Thoreau's philosophy and had many Indian leaders read his essays,.” Gandhi continued. “No doubt his writings greatly influenced them.” Describing the birth of the po litical weapon of civil disobedience Oandhi said: At a meeting in a Jewish theater in Johannesburg in 1906 we had come to the end of our resources fighting a humiliating bill pro posed by the Transvaal government against my countrymen. One man arose and said he would rather die than submit to t'he bill. He took the vow of non-submission and I suddenly realised that that was the solution. "1 asked the meeting how many were ready to die rather than sub mit. Everybody stood up. and vowed not to obey. This meeting settled my fate, for 1 saw that if we wanted to oppose a government we should not resist violently.” The creed of non-violence was gradually evolved and perfected. Gandhi said he believed it eventu ally would be necessary to resume his struggle against the British government by civil disobedience to prove the strength of his move ment. Asked if he expected to be put In Jail again, Gandhi replied, smil ing: “Probably, but only for a total of four or five years; that’s not much.” Lockers For Members of National Guard Members of the National Guard companies here will soon have their own individual lockers.

ASKS TWO YEARS TAX INCREASE; URGES CONGRESS TO FINANCE COMPLETE NATIONAL BUSINESS RECONSTRUCTION Government Will Supply Capital If To Corporation President Would Create Huge National Reconstruc tion Finance Organization to Aid Recovery— Mapped Along Lines of Former War Finance Body—Temporary Tax Increase to Bring About Financial Stability at Washington and Inspire Confidence for Private Business—Shuns Dole, Seeks Naval Reduction Confident United States Will Overcome Depression By RAYMOND CLAPPER (United Press Staff Correspondent) Washington, Dec 8.— (UP)— President Hdover to-day asked the people to accept a two-year In crease In taxes and urged congress to form a huge national recon struction finance corporation to aid In rehabilitation of business. Those two proposals were the cornerstones of the president’s pro gram given to congress to-day in the most momentous annual mes sage a chief executive has deliver ed since the war. The time has come for aggres sive, forward action, the president maintained. The nation’s resources are greater than ever before, he said, expressing confidence in the country's ability largely to over come the depression regardless of conditions In other parts of the world. All that is needed, he said, is to revive confidence, summon cour age and determination, loosen credit and put to work the coun try's huge resources and stores of money. Taxes, along lines of the higher Scales of 1924 were recommended to meet growing deficits. He emphasized that aid to the railroads must form a part of the reconstruction program as they af fect the vitals of the country’s eco nomic life. The reconstruction finance cor poration suggestion was only In outline, with details expected later. This corporation, mapped along lines of the former War Finance Corporation, would have ‘‘reason able" capital aid from the govern ment, and would serve to aid in financing exports, agriculture, in dustry, railways and financial in stitutions. The president proposed a tem porary tax increase to end July 1, 1934 which, it is unofficially esti mated, would amount to almost 91,900,000,000 a year. Details were reserved for a later time, but Mr Hoover gave a general warning that the country must prepare to lake on an Increased emergency burden due to the sharp declines In tax revenues. Tne nr81 requirements oi conn donee and of economic recovery is financial stability of the United Sattes government,” he said. "I must at this time call attention to the magnitude of the deflclts which have developed and the resulting necessity for determined and cour ageous policies.” He said there must be insistent and determlred reduction in gov ernment expenses and the delicit must be partially met by borrow ing, for an attempt to cover them by Increased taxes “would retard recovery.” He would fix the tax Increase so as to balance the budget for the year beginning next July 1 except for statutory debt retirement. This would require about $921,000,000. A net Increase in the national debt of $1,711,000,000 exclusive of debt retirement is indicated for the cur rent fiscal year, now almost half over, so the proposed tax Increase is not expected to cover that amount In full. “The additional taxation should lie imposed solely as an emergency ipoasure terminating definitely two years from July 1 next," Mr Hoover ■aid. "Such a basis will give confidence In the determination of the gov ernment to stabilize its finance and ■will assure tax-payers of its tem porary character. Even with In creased taxation, the government will reach the utmost safe limit of Us borrowing capacity by the ex penditures for which we are al ready obligated and the recom mendations here proposed. To go tdrthar than these limits in either expenditures, taxes, or borrowing will destroy confidence, denude commerce and Industry of its re sources, Jeopardize the financial system, and actually extend unem ployment and demoralize agricul ture rather than relieve it.” The emergency "reconstruction corporation” he suggested should be liquidated after two years, lie proposed the federal government subscribe "reasonable capital" to it. The amount of capital con templated was not revealed, though unofficial reports have been that it would be about $1,000,000,000. It would not overlap the recently formed $500,000,000 National Credit Corporation organized to aid banks. “We must put some steel beams in the foundation of our credit structqre,’’ the president said. This recommendation. .Mr Hoover said, was made “in order lhat the public may be absolutely assured and that the government may be in position to meet any public necessity.” Mr Hoover added that it might not be necessary to use this in strumentality very extensively. "The very existence of such a bulwark will strengthen con fidence,” he said. "Its purpose Is that by strengthening the weak spots to thus liberate the full strength of the nation’s resources." Without making predictions. Mr Hoover Indicated confidence in the future. “The time is ripe for forward action to expedite our recovery." ho said. “If we can put our finan cial resources to work and can amelorlate the financial situation in the railways. I am confident we can make a large measure of re eovery Independent of the rest of the world. A strong America U the highest contribution to world stability.” Mr Hoover declared he wus op posed to general tariff revision. "Sush action would disturb In dustry, business and agriculture," he said. “It would prolong the depression.” He also registered unqualified opposition to any "direct or indi rect government dole." There were so specific unemployment relief recommendations though Mr Hoover said that through the gov ernment construction program, the federal payroll and veterans and the federal taxpayer Is contribut ing directly to the livelihood of 10,000,000 citizens. The president's unemployment committee, he said, "gives assurance against suffering duriqg the coming winter.” Prohibition was not mentioned in the message. The Hoover program Included the following additional recommen dations: 1. Railroads, whose stability was described as necessary to eco nomic recovery, should be enabled to reduce costs by proper consoli dation, and competing services should be subjected to rate regula tion. 2. Authorization by Congress for further government advances to federal land banks to make pos sible greater aid to agriculture. 3. Legislation to enable federal reserve banks to make quickly available to depositors some por tion of funds tied up in closed banks. 4. Establishment of a system of home-loan discount banks as out lined in a recent presidential state ment. 5. Extension during the emer gencies of rediscount eligibility provisions of the federal reserve act, without lowering the safe guards of the system, as approved in the White House conference with congressional leaders Octo ber 6. rrompi iinpiovuneiu ui banking laws to further safeguard deposits and credit flow and con gressional Investigation of the need for separation of different kinds of banking, enlargement of branch banking, and ways of extending membership In the federal reserve system. 7. Consideration of practical questions relating to deposits and Investments of postal savings banks, which have more than dou bled deposits in the last year. 8. Anti-trust laws should not be repealed, Mr Hoover said, but he urged Congress to consider whether changes should be made to end demoralization In the coal, oil and lumber industries. Mr Hoover expressed confidence that the country would adjust Itself to changing conditions now as it has in the past without any revolu tionary action. “It Is inevitable," he said, "that in these tirpes much of the legisla tion proposed to the Congress an! many of the recommendations of the executive must be designed to meet emergencies. In reaching so lutions we must not Jeopardize those principles which we have found to be the basis of growth of the nation. "The federal government must not encroach upon nor permit local communities to abandon that pre cious possession of local initiative and responsibility. Again, Just as the largest measure of social re sponsibility In our country rests upon local self-government, so does the largest measure of social responsibility In our country rest upon the individual, tf the indi vidual surrenders his own initiative and responsibilities, he Is surren dering his own freedom and his own liberty. It is the duty of the national government to insist that both the local governments and the individual shall assume and bear these responsibilities as a fund amental of preserving the very basis of our freedom.” Mr Hoover added that though this is a distressful time, the people have shown high courage and re sourcefulness. With that spirit. I have faith that out of It will come a sounder life, a truer standard of values, a greater recognition of the results of honest effort, and a healthier at mosphere in which to rear our children,’• he said. lie found fundamental national gains even in the depression in the absence of public disorders and in dustrial conflict, an enlargement of spiritual and social responsibility among the people, application of better methods in business, large scale public improvements, gains In knowledge and public health. “The country is richer in physi cal property, in newly discovered resources, and in productive capac ity than ever before.” he said. 'Other parts of his -irssage may be summarized as follows: National Defense Economies have been made without reducing existing personnel or impairing morale. If the world is to reguln its standards of life, “It muBt fur ther decrease both naval and other arms.” Foreign Affairs—Difficulties in the last year have largely originat ed In foreign disturbances, and ef forts at recuperation In this coun try have necessitated cooperation with other nations to restore world confidence and economic stability. The moratorium was necessitated by the danger of a general panic und the collapse of central Europe. Foreign uftalra are to be treated in a later message. Domestic Hltuatlon—The com munity has cooperated to take auch emergency measures as would sus tain confidence and cuahlon the violence of liquidation giving time for orderly readjustment of costs, inventories, and credits "without panic and widespread bankruptcy. In a way that will promote recov ery. Veterans' Hervlces—Expenditures now exceed 1,000.000.000 a year and "I am opposed to am' exteu tlon of these expenditures until Up country has recovered from tile present situation," President Hoover Full Text Of Hoover’s Message To Congress I To tlic Senate and House of Itepresen ta t Ives It Is my duty under the Consti tution to transmit to tha Congress information on the state of the Union and to recommend for Its consideration necessary and exped ient measures. The chief influence affecting the state of the Union during the past year has been the continued world wide economic disturbance. Our na tional concern has been to meet the emergencies it has creatad for us and to lay the foundations for recovery. if we lift our vision beyond these immediate emergencies we find fundamental national gains even amid depression. In meeting the problems of this difficult period, we have witnessed a remarkable development of the sense of co-op eration in the community. For the lirst time in the history of our major economic depressions there has been a notable absence of pub lic disorders and industrial conflict. Above all there is an enlargement of social and spiritual responsibility among the people. The strains and stresses upon business have result ed In closer application, in saner policies, and in better methods. Public improvements have been carried out on a larger scale than even in normal times. The country is richer in physical property, in newly discovered resources, and in productive capacity Ilian ever be fore. There has been constant gain In knowledge and education; there has been continuous advance in science and Invention; there has been distinct gain in public health. Business depressions have been re current in the life of our country anti are not transitory. The nation has emerged from each of them with increased strength and virility because of the enlightenment they have' brought, the readjustments and the larger understanding of the realities and obligations oi life and work which come front them. NATIONAL DEFKN8K Both our Army and Navy have been maintained in a high slate of efficiency. The xibihty and delotion of both officers and men sustain the highest traditions of the serv ice. Reductions and postponements in expenditures oi these uepun ments to meet the present emer gency arc being made without re ducing existing personnel or impair ing the morale of either establish ment. The agreement between the lead- ing naval powers for limitation of naval armaments and establish ments of their relatives strength and thus elimination of competi tive building also implies for our selves the gradual expansion of the deficient catagories in our Navy to the parties provided in those treat ies. However, none of the olner na tions, parties to these agreements, is to-day maintaining the lull rate of construction which the treaty size of fleets would imply. Although these agreements se cured the maximum reduction of fleets which it was at that time possible to attain, J am hopeful that the nuval powers, party to these agreements, will realize that establishment of relative strength in itself offers opportunity for further reduction without injury to any of them. Tills would be lie more pos sible If pending negotiations arc successful between France and Italy. If the world is to regain its standards of life, it must further decrease both naval und other arms The subject will come before the General Disarmament t'oniV.ence which meets in Geneva on Febru ary 2 next. I'ORKIUN A1TAU1S We are at peace with the world. We have co-operated wit.i Oihe. nations to preserve peace. The rights of our citizens abroad have been protected. The economic depression hus con tinued and deepened in every part of the world durine the past yeur. In muny countries political insta bility. excessive armaments, debts, governmental expenditures. und taxes have resulted in revolutions, In unbalanced budgets and mone tary collapse and financial panics, in dumping of goods upon world markets, und in diminished con sumption of commodities. Within two years there have been revolutions or ucute social disorders in Ilf countries, embrac ing more than hulf the population of the world. Ten countries have been unable to meet their external obligation**. In 14 countries, em bracing a quarter of the world's population, former monetary stand ards have basil temporarily abon I iloned. In a number of countries there have been acute linanclal panics or compulsory restraints up on banking. These disturbances have many roots in the dislocations from the World War. livery one of them has reacted upon us. They have sharply affected the markets and prices of our agricultural and industrial products. They have in creased unemployment and great ly embarrassed our financial and credit system. As our difficulties during the past year have plainly originated in large degree from theee sources, uny effort to bring about our own recuperation has dictated the nec essity of co-operation by us with other nations in reasonable effort to restore world confidence and economic stability. Cooperation of cur federal re serve system and our banks with the central banks in foreign coun tries has contributed to localize and ameliorate a number of serious financial crises and thus avert dis asters which would have affected us or moderate the pressures upon us. The economic crisis in Germany and Central Europe last June rose to the dimensions of a gcneuul panic from which it was apparent that without assistance these na tions must collapse. Apprehensions of such collapse hud demoralized our agricultural and security mar kets and so threatened other na tions as to impose further dangers upon us. But of highest importance was the necessity of cooperation on our part to relieve the people of Germany from imminent disasters and to maintuin their important re lations to progress and stability in the world. Upon the initiative of this government a year’s postpone ment of reparations and other in ter-governmental debts was brought about. Upon our further initiative an agreement was made by Ger many’s private creditors providing for an extension of such credits until the German people can de velop more permanent and defin ite forms of relief. We have continued our policy of withdrawing our marines from Haiti and Nicaragua. The difficulties between China and Japan have given us great con cern, not alone for the mainten ance of the spirit of the Kellogg Briund Pact, hut for the mainten ance of the treaties to which we are a party assuring the territorial integrity of China. It is our pur pose to assist in finding solutions sustaining the full spirit of those treaties. 1 shall deal at greater length with out foreign relations in a later message. Till; DOMESTIC Si’ll.VTION Many undertakings have been organised and forwarded during the past year to meet the new and changing emergencies which have constantly confronted us. Droadly the community lias co operated to meet the needs of hon est distress, and to take such emer gency measures as would sustain confidence in our financial system and would cushion the violence of liquidation in industry and com merce, thus giving time for order ly readjustments of costs, inventor ies, and credits without panic and widespread bankruptcy. These measures have served those pur poses and will promote recovery, in these measures we have striv en to mobilize and stimulate pri vate initiative and local and com munity responsibility. There lias been the least possible Govern ment entry into the economic field, and that only in temporary and emergency form. Our citizens and our local governments have given a magnificent display of unity and action, initiating and patriotism in solving a multitude of difficulties and in cooperating with the federal government. For u proper understanding of my recommendations to the con gress It is desirable very briefly to review such activities during the past year. The emergencies of unemploy ment have been met by action in many directions. The appropria tions for the continued speeding up of the greut federal construction program have provided direct und indirect aid to employment upon a lurge scale. Uy organized unity of action, the stutes and municipal ities have also maintained lurge programs of public, improvement. Many Industries have been prevail ed upon to anticipate und Intensify construction. Industrial concerns und other employers have been or ganised to spread available work amongst all tholr smpluyes, instead of discharging a portion of them. A large majority have maintained wages at as high levels as the safe conduct of their b usiness would per ralt. This course has saved us from industrial and disorder which have characterised all previous depres sions. Immigration, has been cur tailed by administrative action. Upon the basis of normal immigra tion the decrease amounts to about 300,000 individuals who otherwise would have been added to our un employment. The expansion of fed eral employment agencies under appropriations by the congress has proved most effective. Through the president’s organization for unem ployment relief, public and private agencies were successfully mobil ized last winter to provide employ ment and other measures against distress. Similar organization gives assurance against suffering during the coming winter. Committees of leading citizens are now active at practically every point of unem ployment. In the large majority they have been assured the funds necessary which, together with lo cal government aids, will meet the situation. A few exceptional local ities will be further organized. The evidence of the Public Health Service shows an actual decrease of sickness and Infant and general mortality below normal years. No greater proof could be adduced that our people have been protect ed from hunger and cold and that the sense of social responsibility In the nation has responded to the need of the unfortunate. To meet the emergencies In agri culture the loans authorized by congress for rehabilitation in the drought areas have enabled farm ers to produce abundant crops in those districts. The Red Cross un dertook and magniflcantly adminis tered relief for over 2,500,000 drought sufferers last wlner. It has undertaken this year to administer relief to 100,000 sufferers In the new drought area of certain north west states. The action of the fed eral board in granting credits to farm cooperatives saved many of them from bankruptcy and in creased their purpose and strength. By enabling farm coooperatives to cushion the fall in prices of farm products in 1930 and 1931 the board secured higher prices to the farmer than would have been ob tained otherwise, although the benefits of this action were partial ly defeated by continued world overproduction. Incident to this action the failure of a large num ber of farmers and of country i banks was averted which could quite possibly have spread.into a major disaster. The banks in the south have cooperated with the farm board In creation of a pool for the better marketing of accu mulated cotton. Growers have been materially assisted by this action. Constant effort has been made to reduce overproduction in relief of agriculture and to promote the for eign buying of agricultural pro ducts by sustaining economic sta bility abroad. lo meet our domestic emergen rles in credit and banking arising from the reaction to acute crises ubroad the National Credit Asso ciation was set up by the banks with resources of $500,000,000 to support sound banks against the frightened withdrawals and hoard ing. It is giving aid to re-open sol vent banks which have been closed. Federal officials have brought about many beneficial unions of banks and have employed other means which have prevented many bank closings. As a result of these meas ures the hoarding withdrawals which had risen to over $250,000, 000 per week after the British crisis have substantially ceased. FURTHER MEASURES The major economic forces and weaknesses at home and abroad have now been exposed and cftn be appraised, and the time is ripe lor forward action to expedite our recovery. Although some of the causes of our depression are due to specula tion, inflation of securities and real ectute, unsound foreign invest ments, and mismanagement of fi nancial institutions, yet our self contained national economy, with its matehless strength and re sources, would have enabled us to recover long since but for the con tinued dllocutions, shocks, and set backs from abroad. Whatever the causes may be, the vast liquidation and readjustments which have taken place have left us with u large degree of credit paralysis, which, together with the situation in our railways and the conditions abroud, are now the outstanding obstacles to recupera tion. if we can put our financial resources to work and can amelio rate tlie financial situation in the railways, 1 am confident we can make a large measure of recov ery Independent of the rest of the world. A strong America is the highest contrlbutoin to world sta bility. One phase of the credit situa tion is indicated in the bunks. Dur ing the past year banks, repre senting 3 per cent of our total de posits have been closed. A large part of t'hedk‘ failures have been caused by withdrawals for hoard ing, as distinguished from the fail ures early in the depression where weakness due to mismanagement was the larger cause of failure. Despite their closing, many of them will pay in full. Although such withdrawals have practically ceased, yet $1,100,000,000 of cur rency was previously withdrawn which has still to return to circu lation. This represents a large re duction of the ability of our banks to extend credit which would other wise fertilise Industry and agricul ture. Furthermore, many of our bankers, In order to prepare them selves to meet possible withdrawals have felt compelled to call in loans, to refuse new credits, and to realise upon securities, which in turn has demoralized the markets. The paralysis has been further aug mented by the steady Increase in recent years of the proportion of bunk assets Invested in long term securities, such as mortgages und bonds. These securities tend to lose their liquidity in depres sion or temporarily to fall in value so thut the ability of the bunks to meet the shocks of sudden with drawal is greatly lessened und the restriction of ull kinds of credit is thereby increased. The continuing credit puralysis hus operated to ac centuate the deflation and liquida tion of commodities, real estate, und securities below any reason able basis of values. All of this tends to stifle busi ness, especially the smaller units, und finally expresses itself in fur ther depression of prices and values. In restriction on new enter prise. and in increased unemploy ment. The situation largely arises from an unjustified lack of confidence, We have enormous volumes of idle money in the bunks and In hoard ing. We do not require more muney or working capltul—we need to put what we have to work. The fundamental difficulties which have brought about financial strains In foreign countries do not esist In the United Matos.

The president’s unemployment relief committee “gives assur ance against suffering during the coming winter.” "The time is ripe for forward action to expedite our recovery.” “We do not require more money or working capital—we need to put what we have to work.” “Our first step toward recovery is to reestablish confidence and thus restore the flow of credit which is the very basis of our econ omic life.” “We must put some steel beams in tbe foundations of oar credit structure.” “We must face a temporary increase in taxes.” “The well-maintained and successful operation and tbe stability of railway finances are of primary importance to economic recovery.” “The federal taxpayer is now directly contributing to the liveli hood of 10,000,000 of our citizens.” “I am opposed to any direct or indirect government dole.” “Our people are providing against distress from unemployment in true American fashion by a magnificent response to public appeal and by action of the local governments.” “I am opposed to any extension of these (veteran) expenditures until the country has recovered from the present situation.” “I am opposed to any general congressional revision of the tariff.” “If the individual surrenders his own initiative and responsibil ity, he is surrendering his own freedom and his own liberty.” Tbe message includes these recommendations: A tax increase limited to two years. Creation of an emergency reconstruction corporation to function for two years In extending credit to Industry, agriculture and finance. Legislation to release part of deposits in closed banks promptly. Additional government advances to federal land banks. Creation of a system of home loan discount banks. Broadening of rediscount eligibility provisions for tbe federal reserve system. Encouragement to railways by fostering consolidations and regulation of competing services.

Creation of a public works administration to carry on fill gov ernment eonstructoin except naval and military. Transfer of part of shipping board administrative functions to the department of commerce under a new assistant secretary fur merchant marine. Tightening of immigration and deportation laws. ternal drain on our resources cun threaten our position, because the balance of International payments Is In our favor; we owe less to foreign countries than they owe to us; our Industries are efficiently or ganized; our currency and bank de posits are protected by the great est gold reserve In history. Our first step toward recovery Is to reestablish confidence and thus restore the flow of credit which Is the very basis of our economic life. We must put some steel beams in the foundations of our credit structure. It is our duty to apply the full strength <#f our government not only to the Im mediate phases, but to provide se curity against shocks and the repe tition of the weaknesses which have been proven. The recommendations which I here lay before the congress are designed to meet these needs by strengthening financial industrial, and agricultural life through the medium of our existing institutions, and thus to avoid the entry of the government into competition with private business. FEDERAL. GOVERNMENT FINANCE The first requirement of confl uence anil of economic recovery is financial stability of the United States government. 1 shall (leal with fiscal questions at greutcr length in the budget message. But 1 must at this time call attention to the magnlture of the deficits which have developed and the re sulting necessity tor determined and courageous policies. These deficits uriso in the main from the heavy decrease In tax receipts due to the depression and to the in crease In expenditure on construc tion in aid to unemployment, aids to agriculture, and upon services to veterans. During the fiscal year ending June 30 last we incurred a deficit of about $003,000,000, which in cluded the statutory reduction of the debt and represented an In crease of the national debt by *616,000,000. Of this, however, $153,000,000 is offset by increased cash balances. In comparison with the fiscal year 1928 there is indicated a fall in federal receipts for the present fiscal year amounting to $1,$83, 000,000, of Which $1,034,000,000 is in individual and corporate income taxes alone. During this fiscal year there will be an increased ex penditure, as compared to 1928, on veterans of $225,000,000, and an increased expenditure on con struction work which may reach $520,000,000. Despite largo econ omies in other directions, we have an indicated deficit, including the statutory retirement of the debt, of $2,123,000,000, and an indicated net debt Increase of about $1,711,000, 000. The budget ror the nscai year beginning July 1 next, after al lowing for some Increase of taxes under the present laws and after allowing for drustlc reduction In expenditures, still indicates a deficit of $1,417,000,000. After offset ting the statutory debt retirements this would indicate an Increase in the national debt for the fiscal year 1933 of about $921,000,000. Several conclusions are inevita ble. We must have insistent anti determined reduction in govern ment expenses. We must face a temporary increase In taxes. Such increase should not cover the whole of these deficits or it will retard recovery. We must par tially finance the deficit by bor rowing. It is my view that the amount of taxation should be fixed so as to balance the budget for 1933 except for the statutory debt retirement. Such government re ceipts would assure the balance of the following year's budget in cluding retirement. It is my fur ther view that the additional tax ation should be Imposed solely as an emergency measure terminating definitely two years from July 1 next. such a basis will give con fidence in the determination of the government to stabilise Its fi nance and will assure taxpayers of Its temporary character. Even with Increased taxation, the gov ernment will reach the utmost safe limit of Its borrowing capacity by the expenditures for which we are already obligated and the recommendations here proposed. To go further than these limits In either expenditures, Uses, or borrowing will destroy confidence, denude commerce and industry of Its resources, jeopardize the finan cial system, and actually extend unemployment and demoralize ag riculture rather than relieve it. FEDERAL LAND BANKS I recommend that the congress authorize the subscription by the treasury of further capital to the Federal land banks to be retired as provided In the original act, or when funds are available, and that repayments of such capital be treated as a fund available for fur ther subscriptions in the same manner. It Is urgent that the banks bo supported so as to stab ilize the market values of their bonds and thus secure capital for thft farmers at low rates, that they may continue their services to ag riculture and that they may meet t'he present situation with consid eration to the farmers. DEPOSITS IN CLOSED BANKS A method should be devised to make available quickly to deposit ors tome portion of their deposits in closed banks as the assets of such banks may warrant. Such provision would go far to relieve distress in a multitude of families, would stabilize values in many communities, and would liberate working capitul to thousands ol concerns. 1 recommend that meas ures be enacted promptly to ac complish these results and J sug gest thut the congress should con sider the development of such a plan through the Federal Reserve banks. HOME-LOAN DISCOUNT BANKS I recommend the establishment of a system of home-loan discount banks us thte necessary companion in our financial structure of the Federal Reserve banks and our Federal Land banks. Such ac tion will relieve present distress ing pressures against home and farm property owners. It will re lieve pressures upon and give add ed strength to building and loan associations, savings banks, and deposit banks, engaged in ex tending such credits. Such action would further decentralize our credit structure. It would re vive residential construction and employment. It would enable such loaning institutions more ef fectually to promote home owner ship. 1 discussed this plan at some length in a statement made public November 14, last. This plan has been warmly indorsed by the recent National Conference upon Home Ownership and Hous ing. whose members were desig nated by the governors of the states and the groups interested. RECONSTRUCTION FINANCE CORPORATION In order that the public may be absolutely assured and that the government may be in position to meet any public necessity. I recom mend that ah emergency Recon struction Corporation of the nature of the former War Finance Cor poration should be established. It may not be necessary to use such an Instrumentality very extensive ly. The very existence of such a bulwark will strengthen confidence. The Treasury should be author ized to subscribe u reasonable capital to It, and it should be giv en authority to Issue Its own de bentures. It should be placed in liquidation at the end of two years. Its purpose Is thpt by strengthen ing the weak spots to thus liberate the full strength of the nation’s resources. It should be in posi tion to facilitate exports by Ameri can agencies; make advances to agricultural credit agencies where necessary to protect and aid the agricultural Industry; to make tem porary advances upon proper se curities to established Industries, railways and financial institutions which can not otherwise secure credit, and where such advances will protect the oredlt structure and stimulate employment. Its functions would not overlap those of the National Credit corporation. FEDERAL HKNKRVE ELIGI BILITY on October Ith I issued a statement that I should recom mend to the congress an extension during emergencies of the eligi bility provisions In the federal re serve act. This statement was approved by a repreeentatlve path or ut members or ootn Houses of the Congress, including; members of the appropriate com mittees. It was approved by the officials of the treasury department' and I understand such an extension has been approved by a majority of the governors of the Federal Reserve banks. Nothing should be done which would lower the safe guards of the system. The establishment of the mort gage-discount banks herein re ferred to will also contribute to further reserve strength in the banks without inflation. BANKING LAWS Our people have a right to a banking system in which their de posits shall be safeguarded and the flow of credit less subject to storms. The need of a sounder system is plainly shown by the extent of bank failures. I recommend the prompt improvement of the banking laws. Changed financial conditions and commercial practices must be met. The congress should investigate the need for separation between dif ferent kinds of banking; an en largement of branch banking un der proper restrictions; and the methods by which enlarged mem bership in the federal reserve sys tem may be brought about. POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS The postal savings deposits have Increased from about $200,000,00(1 to about-. $550,000,000 during the past year. This experience has raised Important practical questions In relation to deposits and invest ments which should receive the at tention of the congress. RAILWAYS The railways present one of our immediate and pressing problems. They are and must remain the backbone of our transportation sys tem. Their prosperity is interre lated with the prosperity of all in dustries. Their fundamental serv ice in transportation, the volume of their employment, their buy ing power for supplies from other industries, the enormous Investment In their securities, particularly their bonds, by Insurance com panies, savings banks, benevolent and other trusts, all reflect their partnership in the whole economic fabric. Through these institu tions the railway bonds are in a large sense the Investment of every family. The well-maintained and successful operation and the stabil ity of railway finances are of prim ary importance to economic recov ery. They should have more ef fective opportunity to reduce op erating costs by proper consolida tion. As their rates must be regu lated in public Interest, so also ap proximate regulation should be ap plied to competing services by some authority. The methods of their regulation should be revised. The interstate commerce commis sion has made Important and far reaching recommendations upon the whole subject, which I com mend to the early consideration of the congress. ANTITRUST LAWS In my message of a year ago I commented on the necessity of con gressional inquiry into the eco nomic action of the antitrust laws. There is wide conviction that some change should be made especially in the procedure under these laws. I do not favor their repeal. Such action would open wide the door to price fixing, monopoly, and de struction of healthy coihpetltion. Particular attention should ne giv en to the Industries founded wpon natural resources, especially wheiv destructive competition produces'' great wastes of these resources and brings great hardships upon opera tors, employes, and the public. In recent years there has been con tinued demoralization in the bitum inous coal, oil, and lumber indus tries. I again commend the mai ler to the consideration of the con gress. 1 I N EMPLOYMENT As an aid to unemployment the federal government is engaged in the greatest program of public building, harbor, flood-control, highway, waterway, aviation, mer chant and naval ship construction in all history. Our expenditures on these works during this calen dar year will reach about $780, 000,000 compared with $260,000, 000 in 1928. Through this increas ed construction, through the main tenance of a full complement of federal employes, and through services to veterans it is estimated that the federal taxpayer Is now directly contributing to the liveli hood of 10,000,000 of our citizens. We must.avoid burdens upon the government which will create more unemployment in private Industry than can be gained by further ex pansion of employment by the fed-'' eral government. We can now stimulate employment and agricul ture more effectually and speedily through the voluntary mei^ureg in progress, through the thawing out of credit, through the building up of stability abroad, through the ome loan discount banks, through an emergency finance corporation and the rehabilitation of the rail ways and other such directions. I .am opposed to any direct or indirect government dole. The breakdown and increased unem ployment in Europe is due in part to such practices. Our people are providing against distress from un employment in true American fashion by a magnificent response to public appeal and by action of the local governments. ft KN Ell A11 I.EGISEATION There are many other subjects requiring legislative action at this session of the congress. I may list the following among them: VETERANS’ SERVICES The law enacted last March au thorising loans of 50 per cent upon adjusted-service certificates has, together with the loans made un der previous laws, resulted in pay ments of about $1,260,000,000. Ap propriations have been exhausted. The administrator of veterans’ af fairs advises that a further appro priation of $200,000,000 is required, at once to meet the obligations made necessary by existing legisla tion. There will be demands for fur ther veterans’ legislation; there are Inequalities In our system of vet erans' relief; it is our national duty to meet our obligations to those who have served the nation. But ojr present expenditure upon these servloes now exoeeds $1,000,000, 000 per annum. 1 am opposed to any extension of these expenditures until the country has reoovered from the present situation. electrical-: REGULATION I have recommended in previous messages the effective regulation of Interstate elaotrleal power as tfce essential function of fhe rear raised federal power oommlaolon. renew the recommendation.

Jackson Co and the Giordano Bros Cause of Fire on Oak Street Officials Making Inquiry Into Source of the Trouble Fire Marshal Frank W. Holland was Investigating this afternoon an early morning Are, which did considerable damage to-day to the store of Alessio tilzzi of 144 Oak street. The cause was not appar ent to firemen who were called to the scene by two alarms, a tele phone call at 3:55 o’clock and a bell alarm from Box 141 at 3:57 o’clock. The blaze did not warrant the two alarms, but apparently some of the residents became ex cited over the possibility of the fire spreading. An overheated furnace was the cause of a fire at 8:20 o'clock in tho residence of Mrs M. J. McCar thy of 62-64 Randolph avenue. At 9:16 o’clock apparatus was sent to the warehouse of the C- A. Templeton Company on Meadow street. A can of gasoline was ig nited by a spark from a fire. No serious damage resulted. Another alarm was received at 10:31 o’clock for a fire in a Chev rolet oar owned by Felix Guaralni of 32 Putnam street.

The award is for the death of Salva tore Guerrera, former Btone cutter employed by both respondents. The finding states the deceased was employed for a period of years by the Jackson company and af ter working for himself for a while was engaged by the Giordano con cern. It was the contention of the claimant that his death was due to occupational disease known as silicosis, contracted while working for the Jackson and Giordano companies. The respondents claimed that death was due to pulmonary tuberculosis. The award is to be paid the claimant’s counsel, Greco and Hennessy and covers all medi cal, hospital and surgical expenses. In another agreement, the Wa terbury hospital will pay $9.23 weekly to Daniel Thompson of 129 Frost road for the latter’s thumb injury.

HOOVER MAY BE INVESTIGATED ON NAVAL AFFAIRS DISPUTE Washington, Dec 8—(UP)—An investigation by congress of Pres ident Hoover's ‘‘entire conduct of our naval affairs" was urged to day by William Howard Gardiner, president of the Navy League of the United States. Gardiner made the suggestion in a letter to the league's member ship, at the conclusion of a de tailed reply to President Hoover’s reply to the league’s original charges of ‘‘abysmal ignorance.” The president’s reply was In the form of a detailed refutation by a personally selected ‘‘jury.’’ Gardiner in his latest offensive, took up the refutation point by point, attacking each specific conclusion. In concluding he said: "Such a misconception of the duties of our navy and the conse quent financial policy of Mr Hoover toward our navy are the present naval problems that cry for a con gressional investigation into his en tire conduct of our naval affairs. And it is to such subjects that we hope to be allowed to devote our attention rather than to rebutting Mr Hoover's organized efforts to discredit the Navy league seeming ly because it states truths unpal atable to him.’' Diversified Questions HORIZONTAL 1 State that Is famous as a winter resort. 7 President Hoover sug gested altering the-Re serve Act to help the banks? 14 To venerate., 15 To strip. 16 Farewell! 17 Cognizance. 19 Baking dish. 20 Witticism.

RESPIRATOR HAS SAVED THE LIFE OF YOUNG WOMAN Started Using 'Mechanical Lung’ 15 Months Ago and Was Cured of In* fantile Paralysis Boston, Doc 8—(UP)—A •‘me chanical lung” apparently has saved the life of a 19-year-old New Hampshire girl after a 15 month battle against Infantile par alysis. The patient Is Miss Violet Vedder of Derby, N. H., who was stricken September 11, 1980, and who since has been under treat ment at Massachusetts General hos pital. When admitted she was suffering from that type of the dread disease crippling the intecostal muscles. She was unable to breathe and was in a coma. For 14 months—until a month ago—she had to spend a portion of each day In a Drinker respirator, the automatic breath ing machine invented by Professor Philip Drinker of the Harvard school of public health. Of. late, the girl's condition has imprmted gradually, and today doctors were optimistic over her chances of fully recovering. Precautions Taken To Block Tampering With Capone Jury Chicago, Dec 8.—(UP)—The elaborate precautions taken by Federal Judge James H. Wilkerson and U. S. prosecutors to prevent jury tampering in the income tax trial of Alphonse Capone, gangster, were revealed to-day by Assistant THIS CHRISTMAS TOWN MAY HAVE HARD CHRISTMAS The Town in Arizona Still Exists—It Has a Post office But Not Post* master 6 Letters a Day Is Heavy Mail BY GEORGE D. C'RISSEY (United Press Staff Correspondent) Christmas, Ariz, Dec 8—(UP)— Santa Claus has a real job on his hands if he is going to keep this Christmas from being a tough Christmas for Christmas, accord ing to H. A. Kossell, general man ager of the Christmas Copper com pany mine at Christmas, Ariz. The post oillee still functions. As usual, it will handle holiday cards for seekers of an unusual post mark. There is no postmaster, however. Company employes pass around the mail, handling, on heavy days, as many as six letters. The mine, the town's sole support, still turns out an occasional pound of copper. Gone are the stores, the church, the cafe and other sidelines of a once-prosperous mining camp, Ninety-nine persons now claim Christmas as their home. Only a year ago, the population exceeded 1,000. Scattered throughout the west are the miners who worried in 1030 when copper dropped to around 10 cents a pound, less than production costs. Now copper is below seven cents and residents are wondering how long the camp will remain on the Gila county map. Christmas wants only one tiling of Santa Claus, and that is an op 1,ortunlty to work. It wants a chance to function again as a snorting 24-hour operation mining camp, paying high prices for nec essities of lifo and receiving in re turn high prices for labor and copper. In truth, Christmas never was a real town. It was. und is, ufcjdflk mg cuinp—a cluster of frWne shacks mound a copper mine. There are no sidewalks, no busi ness section and no sewers. II is not even a wide place in the road. 'I ho road, as a matter of fact, is very narrow, lauding almost straight up from a state highway to the head of a canyon where Christmas Is situated.

He said the government learned Capone agents had the names of the 100 veniremen called. At the last minute venires were shifted with another judge. "After the trial started, notes were smuggled to jurors in laun dry packages and signals were at tempted from windows as the. jury went to dinner,” the prosecutor said. Green described the gun carried by Capone’s bodyguard, Phil D' Andrea as "a death threat for a certain witness to forget import ant evidence.” D’Andrea was giv en a six months jail sentence on a contempt of court citation for the episode. SNOWDEN LAND BILL SHELVED BY POWERS THAT BE Bondon, Dec 8—(UP)—The gov ernment has decided to suspend work on valuation of British land in connection with the land tax scheme introduced by Philip Snowden (now Viscount Snowden of Ickornshaw) when he was labor chancellor of the exchequer in the previous government, it was an nounced by Neville Chamberlain, of the exchequer. The suspension would be with out prejudice to the merits of the scheme, Chamberlain said. The capital land tux proposed by Snowden in his 1931-1932 budget introduced last May, caused a tre mendous stir among conservative landowners and was considered a direct challenge to the private ownership of land. The present coalition govern ment is backed by a heavy con servative majority which apparent ly has decided to shelve the land tax. Snowden’s resolution of last May, making the tax effective, read: •'There shall be charged for the financial year ending March 31, 1934, and every subsequent finan cial year, a tax at the rate of one penny in each pound of land value of every unit of land In Great Brl* tain.” The bill Involved valuing be tween 10,000.000 and 12.000.000 separate hereditaments. The task of valuation, which would take a long time, was estimated as likely to cost 17,275,000.

Root, of New York city, former Yale student and now enrolled in Columbia university took the stand to testify to-day In connection with the |20,000 dam age suit against him which is on trial In superior court. The suit Is brought by Miss Dalphine La Chance of this city who alleges she was severely Injured when struck by his roadster on East Main street November 1, 19SO. Mr Root called to the stand by Attorney Luke Stapleton, plaintiff's counsel tg answer several questions relating to the car he was driving at the time of the accident. He said the roadster was his father’s but that he had permission to drive It. He added that the reason he had changed his markers from New York to Connecticut was be cause he did not want to be op erating a car in this state without state markers. Another Important witness was Mrs Olive Lacy of this city who was with Miss LaChance when the latter was struck. Mrs Lacy said although the defendant's roadster did pot strike her, she felt the breeze of the machine as It passed. She said the car after hitting Miss LaChance, drove her 25 feet ahfead. The witness stated that when he got to her companion she saw her face was covered with blood. Mrs Lacy said she went into a faint and did not remember anything until she awoke In the hospital. J Miss LaChance already has testi fied that she was returning to her home after attending the movies and had Just alighted from an east bound trolley near the Meriden road about 10:30 o’clock at night. She said she was crossing to the curb when the car struck her. Attorney Harry Krasow Is as sisting Attorney Stapleton for tho plaintiff. Attorney John F. Mc Donough and Attorney Martin C. Gormley represent the defendant. Prohibition Fight Became Involved In House Business Rep Crisp of Georgia Was the Man Who Brought It to Front People Want to Know How Members Stand Washington, December 8—(UP)| —Prohibition was Injected Into the fight for liberalisation of rules to day In the house. That body con sidered a program of changes that would permit a vote on this contro versial issue for the first time since the law was enacted. Representative Charles R. Crisp, democrat, Georgia, sponsor of the democratic program, sought to as suage alarm of some drys over the proposed modification of the rules by pointing out that under his program only one wet proposal could be considered during the ses sion.* Crisp’s speech and the rules de Merchant Of Venice Barred In Schools Buffalo, N. Y„ Dec 8.—(UP)— The board of education after hear ing a plea by Kabbl Kffros Israel, to-day voted to discontinue use of Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice in public school courses.. The mo tion was made by Regis O’Brien. "Shakespeare never even saw a Jew." Rabbi Israel, who is the only Jewish member of the board said. "there wasn’t a Jew in England until 1675. Furthermore, there was never a Jew named Shylock. "Shakespeare's play was based on the superstitious bigotry of the middle ages. It has no place in the public schools, where it only stirs up hatred and prejudice." WATERVILLE TROLLEY TRACKS TO BEREPAIRED Thomaston Avenue in Bad Shape—Church Ser* vices To=day Upper Thomaston avenue, north of Homer street, which has been in notoriously bad condition for the past few years, will be in better shape within a short time. The paving beside the trolley rails has been permitted to deteriorate bad ly by the Connecticut company and this has served to do much toward creating a hazard for motorists. The trolley company repair crews are about to undertake the task of putting the pavement in shupe and the work when completed will constitute badly-needed and most acceptable improvement. This section of street constitutes the main northerly highway ap proach to the city and its condi tion has caused motorists to ac quire a most unfavorable first im pression. It is hoped that the day is not far distant when the state will consider it advisable to in clude Thomaston avenue, north from West Main street, in its trunk highway system and then construct the badly-needed new highway through Waterville. Not until then can anything of permanent relief be expected since the cost of con struction of a highway of the proper type is absolutely prohibi tive to the city under present cir cumstances. Unsuccessful efforts too have been made to bring about in the last two sessions of the gen eral assembly but the state high way commission has opposed the move. Holy Day To-day the feast of the Immac ulate Conception of the Blessed Virgin is a holy day of obligation in the Roman Catholic church. Masses were celebrated at 5:30 and 8 a. m. Lay Out Completed At last night’s meeting of the board of aldermen it wa» reported that the work of laying out and grading Chase avenue from Cooke street to North Main street has been completed. Upon acceptance of the report by the board the assessment for the work as levied by the bureau of assessment, will be ordered paid.

Crisp, who Is a dry, said he Is "ready to force a vote on prohibi-,, tion or any other question.” The public, he said, is entitled to know how members of congress stand on prohibition. This would be possible through the rule that... he sponsors, he added. An hour’s debate was provided for consideration of the rules pro gram, which is designed to make house procedure more flexible and check the power of leaders and committee chairmen to pigeon- hole legislation. Adoption of the democratic pro- gram was indicated. Itepublicans were not permitted to offer amend ments. Speaker Garner said he expected the house to be ready to get down to work by the end of this week, but that the democratic program probably would not be formulated before the first of next week. Democratic leaders moved to speed up legislative procedure by completing their slates for the important appropriations and rules committees. The committee on committees added seven democrats to the ap propriations committee as follows: Park, Ark, Ludlow, Ind.; Blanton, Tex.; Granfleld. Mass.; Abernethy, N. C.; Douglas, Ariz.; and Hart, Mich. Four were Added to the rules committee, which determines pre- cedenco of legislation in the house. They were Greenwood, Ind., Driver, Ark., Garrett, Tex, and McMillan, S. C. Garner expects the appropria tions committee to begin drafting the first of the annual supply bills within a few days. WIDOW SPED BY CHURCH FOR MOURNERS’ BANQUET Danville, O. (UP)—Henry Dar rah’s dying wish was that every body should eat heartily at his funeral. He asked a women’s society of the Church of Christ to prepare i a meal for mourners, and to take "the money from my estate.” The mourners came and ate, but when the funeral was over Henry's widow, Mrs Fanny Darrah, re- fused to recognize the church’s bill of $35.50 for the meal. The church claims the bill is valid and should be a preferred claim against the estate. The court will decide. i

TAX DELINQUENTS MEET OBLIGATIONS Personal Property Debtors Pay Visit To Ennis* Office Police Round-up Brings Quick Response City Be lieves Autoists Able to Afford Running Opera tions of Car Can Meet Assessment at This Time As a result of the drive Instituted yesterday by Tax Collector William A. Ennis on delinquent owners of personal property, his oflice was visited to-day by numerous persons anxious to settle up and avoid vis its from members of the police motor squad. The police aid was enlisted yesterday in an effort to make store owners and corpora tions pay up on Inventories and other personal property and when this group is finished the drive will be directed against car own ers. "Property owners paid up to the full extent of their ability this year." declared Tax Collector En nis to-day. "Now it is up to own ers of stores, corporations und those who have enough money to run automobiles to step In and co operate, also.” City Sheriff Williuni .1. Koach stated to-day that the tax warrants will be nerved as soon as the per sons notified by the police aqua fall to show any response. It Is believed that the urrlval of the great number of delinquents a. the lax collector's office to-day i prompted by the desire of those who have failed to settle up to avoid visits from the police an subsequent legal action from the city. I’nder the law If persons owe taxes for personal property and the property Is not available, the city sheriff can attach their bodies and place them In Jail until a set tlement Is affected. The drive Is expected to contin ue until everybody able to pay has called and done so. Tax Collector Knnls pointed out to-day. however, that he has no desire to work hardships on anybody and ex plained that If persons unable to pay call and see him a plan for settling may be devised.

Bridge History Made Yesterday (fontlnued from Puge 1.) by a bigger score than tlio 4,085 to 3,370 which two dozen scorers llnally figured was the exact stand ing after three rubbers. Cheering fans stood In the cor ridor outside the cloaed room in which the play was progressing and apologized that the fua and con fusion of opening night was too much of a strain for u rlilnocerous, let alone a bridge player. There had been rudlo broadcasts, Interviews galore, three dozen camera poses, ghost writers, and heaven knows how many butlers to chase out of the room. It was a "go down" night. Open ing night consisted of only three rubbers. The players seemed to feel, oh well, there’re 147 more rubbers to go!

In Hrockton, Horace Ueker, re publican, was opposed by William h. Gleason, democrat. In Woburn Alfred W. Peterson, republican, was a candidate to succeed his broth er, Herman P. Peterson, as mayor. The democratic candidate was Philip J. Gallagher. Non-partisan elections were being held In Pal den, Newton, Salem, Newburyport, Lawrence, Gloucester, Taunton, licomlnsler, Chicopee and West Held. One of the closest contests was looked for In Newburyport, where Mayor Andrew J. "bossy (Hills was seeking a third term, opposed by Gayden W. Morrill. Btlff-shlrted persons standing around here looking lml>ortant. To-morrow we'll get going! Kven Mrs Culbertson, who takes the whole thing very seriously In deed, didn't seem to worry about last night's results. "Ely told me," Mr* Culbertson told the United Press, "that no matter what eomes of this com petition with -Lens, that he s through with this sort of thing. He's through with match play. He realize** now that there Is more In life thun a continual fight ucross the bridge table. He has finally realized that Fill and Jump-Rid Ely, our children, mean more than four no-trump and a successful finesse. "When this thing is over, he hus promised me that he will devote most of his time to his home, hla wife and his children. So you see, I don’t particularly care what hap pens in this match, except that I want to see the approach-forcing Bystem prove superior to the so called official system. And If you don't mind my adopting some of Ely's Immense egotism, we'll win. Never fear. Lenz, with all his tricks, can’t beat me and Ely. Rut while Mrs Culbertson and Ely strutted hither and yon, Sid ney Lenz and hla big old handsomo football playing partner, Jacoby (pronounced Ja—koby), went ijuletly about their business of get ting some sleep, for there’s another session scheduled to-night, Thurs day night and Saturday night. This four-times-a-wock schedule will be continued until 150 rubbers have been played. "I am not at all surprised,' said Lenz, “ubout whnt has happened so far. I think our system is the best and that when 150 rubbers have been played, the official, or 1-2-3 system of bidding, will stand as the one correct and logical method of bidding a contruct hund." The only really distinctive hand of the evening was that In which Lenz made the large mistake of the. evening. All the other hands were routine—Just such as you and Mrs Smith and Jones would ponder over at a Tuesday afternoon meet ing of the Jackson Heights bridge club. In case you would like to look at a hand In which one of the world's greatest bridge players forgot what was trumps, here It Is—: Lenz s—A-a II—A-Q f>_A.Q-10-a-6‘3-2 C—9-4 Culbertson S—K-9-8-5-4-3 H—9-4-3 I>— 5-4 C—10-8 Mrs Culbertson S—10-7-2 11—,!-10-8-7-8-5 I)—J C—A-«I-9 Jacoby S—Q-J II—K-2 |>_ K-8-7 C—K-Q-7-4-S-3 Rid: Lenz opened the bidding with two diamonds, In accordance with the use of the invitation two bid In his system, to show a strong hand and invite partner to con tinue with moderate assistance. Mr Jacoby bid three clubs, Mr Lenz three no-trump, nnd then Jacoby mude the slam Invitation bid of four no-trump, which all passed. They played It half through be fore Mr Lenz broke out with the admission that he didn’t quite catch on.

Town Clerk Fully Explains (Continued from Page 1.) Miss K(an explained her reason for recommending 3.1,000 for Miss Mlnnahun. Him said tlial Miss Mlnuaban does the work of three sub-department heads. Hhn Is as sistant town clerk, deputy registrar of vital stutlsllcs and official In deser for Waterbury. In other cities. Miss Kgun said, thane Jobs are divided up among various persona and the coat us n result la much In sscess of 11,000. In other words, she pointed out, the 13,000 proposed for Miss Mln nahun was to put her on a fair basla with other cities (or the same kind Of service. Town Clerk ligun was before the finance board when her budget was under consideration and as* plained har aland. The official MW tm Urn MMtt *11* W MU* ford, alone, receives $2,000 annu ally, she pointed out and In Hart ford the first assistant town clerk receives $2,600 while the second assistant receives $2,200. In addi tion, in Hartford, the assistant reg istrar receives $2,260 and the of ficial Indexer Is given $2,100. In New Haven the assistant town clerk receives $2,100, she ex plained, the chief registrar Is paid $2,900 and the chief indexer re sclvcs $2,900 with three assistants to aid In this work. Realising that Waterbury Is smaller than Hart ford or New Haven, lflss Egan said, she figured that the combin ing of these three jobs under the 23,000 salary represented a fair figure and, nt the same time, of fered an opportunity for saving In conjunction with the mayor’s economy program. As for the pay to be given the other help, this will be up to the amount allowed the office, the town clerk said. 8he added that the pay she has given her girls has rated from $18 to $28 weekly, ac cording to the experience of the Individuals. Miss Egan took occas ion to deny a report that she was paying one girl $9.36, weekly. She said that this figure should have been quoted as $936, yearly, or $18, weekly, her lowest figure for help In her office. Another Item In her proposed budget was for $600 lor extra help. It has cost the town clerk approximately $400 or more yearly for a man to handle releases In the vault of her office, It was suid today. This Is a man’s Job, due to the necessity of handling the heavy volumes continually In the course of recording the releases as they arc filed. At the present time the town clerk's office has one less clerk than before. There are six work ing there now as compared with seven some time ago. In the new budget a $26,000 an ticipated Income from the town clerk’s office has been set up. The town clerk’s schedule as presented to the board of finance showed an anticipated Income of $20,000. This latter llgure was based on an av erage income for the past eight or ten years. (Jut of this the town clerk previously paid her help and took the rest as her salary. Whether the city's estimate of $26,000 will work out will not be known until the close of 1932. The budget, which was taken apart by the finance board, will be gone over next by the aldermen before Its adoi-ion, finally, about December 20th.

The young woman, an able student, disap peared Sunday at 4 p. m. from the home of the Rev and Mrs H. O. Tatum, the former pastor of the Burlington Baptist church. Neither Miss Pitts' parents, Mr and Mrs E. B. Pitts of Colchester, nor the youth with whom she had kept company, Lester Peck of Essex Junction, had any Information to day regarding her whereabouts. When she left the Tatum home, where she was rooming while at tending the teachers’ training de partment of the university, Miss Pitts said she was going out to mall a letter. Police considered the possibility that the girl had wandered Into the woods and become lost. They pointed out that a night In the woods would mean almost certain death because of the extreme cold and a blizzard which swept this north country early yesterday. earth.

Other Congress Events Washington, Dec 8 (UP)— When the democrats frame their congressional legislative program, they will not falter for lack of ideas. Nearly 4,000 bills to meet unem ployment, solve the treasury's di lemma, relieve the farmer's plight, palliate the railroads’ distress, and for other multifarious purposes, have been filed in the House alone. Senate bill drafters were equally busy, but there are fewer senators. Official publication of the bills were held up until the House for mally adopts its rules of procedure. Washington, Dec 8 (UP)— Speaker John N. Garner already Is breaking gavels. A prize one, made of mesqulte wood and presented by the West Texas Chamber of Com merce, withstood Garner's pound ing at the opening session of the r Houae. But afterward the handle ■napped when he was giving a few whacks to show photographers how he does It. Senator Henrick Bhlpstead of Minnesota is undisputed leader, of the farmer-labor party in the aei^ ate. While republicans and demo crats in congress have had their leadership squabbles, the matter was simple for the farmer-labor party. Shlpstead had only to go into caucus with himself and emerge to announce his election. He Is the party's only member in the senate. It has one in the House, too—Representative Paul Kvale, also of Minnesota. Action on the Budget Halted (Continued from Page 1.) the budget was made by the alder men.
