Business Reasons Prevent Local Men From Acting as Auditors
STURGESS ON BANK JOB
Frederick w. Macombcr and William Judd Request Paul K. Rogers to Ap- thorize Them to Hire Public Ac-
 comtant for Going Over Books.

Nouhtssht hoh NohhS o"Sh A>ooH~ Frederick w Macomber. of the audit committee, with William H. Judd. who were to go over the books of the Red Cross winch were only re- gently turned over by Raymond R. Healy, under arrest for emhezzlement from the United States Bank, has written the following letter to Paul K. Rogers, head of the local branch of the American Red Cross:
 New Britain, Conn, Dec. Is, 1920. Paul K. Rogers, City.
 Dear Sir:-
 MT. w. H. Judd and myself, who were appointed auditors of the Red Cross some time in May, intended shortly after our acceptance to make an audit of the books of the local chapter, but due to the fact that we were unable to secure the books end records we were prevented in so doing. We believe an exhaustive examina- tioh should be at once instituted. As it. is now approaching the end of the year and oIr busiest season, such an audit we feel sure would encroach too heavily on our time. In, view of the fact that the present time is so un- favorable to us personally I would suggest that we be authorized to hire a competent and reputable firm of certified public accountants to con- duct an audit which we be,seve should be no longer delayed.
 Very truly yours, .-...-...-
 (signed) F. w. MAcoMBER.
 No Further Disclosures.
 As the time hears for Mir. Healy's hearing which is scheduled for Satur- day morning in the Hartford police court, there do not appear to be any new developments in the case. Trends of MT. Healy seem reticent in discussing his predicament, and about the only comment that can be heard are expressions of sympathy for him. Mir. Healy it is said has been in com munication with influential trends in this city since last Sunday, and the favorable reports received of the rais- ing of the amount to cover the bank shortage has cheered him considerably. Just what course will be pursued at the coming hearing is of course not known. but there is a prevailing belief that the accused will waive examina- ton.
 Bank Examiners at Work.
 State Bank Examiner Everett J. Sturgess ia engaged in the examina- ton of the books at the United States Bank, where MT. Heaiy was formerly vice-president. So far there IS nothing that has been discovered that will show the shortage in excess of $s,075.3S, the amount which was turned over to Leon "A. Sprague suc- cessor as treasurer to MT. Healy for the local branch of the Red Cross. The examination of the books will Do thorough, and will probably consume several days more. ...
 Restitution May Be Delayed.
 Commissioner Sturgess has voiced the opinion that sooner or later t1bs shortage was bound to be discovere1 The bank directors held a session late yesterday afternoon. and it is under stood that the restitution from MT. Healy's friends was not consider ed at the meeting, and in all prob ability would not be until after the examination of the books was com- pleted by the state bank commits sioner.

F0RD'S ACTION MAY
I AFFECT BIG REDUCTION
Lewis Names Machinery, Hard
ware and Building Material
on List Affected
(By United Press.)

Washington, Sept. 20. 49, General
price reductions in many necessities
will be forced by the action of Henry
Ford in cutting prices on automo-
biles, William M Lewis, treasury
department economist, said today.
Lewis also said slashing Of all auto
mobile prices would result from
Ford's action.
Az examples Of some commodities
that may be forced down in price by
Ford's cut, Lewis names agricultural
machinery, household hardware, wat
erproof clothing, and building ma
terials. "These are made from steel,
rubber, lumber or leather, which all
enter into the manufacture Of auto
mobiles, " said Lewis.
'Tf automobile makers using high
priced steel can cut prices, it is clear
that manufacturers of other products
based on steel can do the same" All
automobile manufacturers lately have
noticed a slack up of orders. The
Ford company reports untitled orders
totalling $4,000.
Other manufacturers have untitled
orders, but these were received
weeks ago. The public has stopped
buying automobiles at present prices
just as it has stopped buying high
priced shoes, diamonds and jewelry.
