ALIEN PROPERTY
BILL LL|SDEFENDED
Representative Mills Replies
to Charge That Measure
Constitutes a "SteaI."

While the Mills alien property bill
encountered renewed opposition IN
the House ways and means commit
tee Yesterday. Representative Mills
Republican, New York. defended the
measure and his original sponsorship
of it on the House floor.
Both the committee hearing and
Mills speech were the outgrowth OF
recent charges by Representative Gar
ner of Texas. ranking Democrat on
the committee. that the bill constl-
tuteS a steal.
Mr.. Mills defended the proposal as
legitimate legislation. although he
has withdrawn personal support be-
cause of his financial interest in a
company that would benefit under a
$3.50 900 900 bond issue proposed by
the bill to carry out the awards OF
the German-A Mixed Claims
Commission.
Mr.. Mills told the House he held
seven-tenths of l per cent of the
stock of the Mergenthaler Linotype
Co. and theoretically" would receive
81 .969.94 if the corporation was paid
it's entire award of approximately
So49, 900. He contended. however,
this amount was so small In COM
parison to the company's business
that he would not profit ''one cent in
dividends.
The committee examined Robert
w. Bonynge, a member of the Mixed
Claims Commission. who declined to
commit himself on legislative pro
posals for carrying out the awards.
He will reappear Wednesday.
Representative Oldfield of Arkansas.
a committee Democrat, charged Re
publican members with blocking at
tempts to obtain from the Treasury
Department information on certain

bR|T|SHLUKEWARM
ON BUDGET PLANS
Betting Tax PROPOSAL Draws
Fire of MoraIists and
Sportsmen Alike.

LONDON, April 21.--The most IA
vorable press comment on the Brit
ish budget, which was introduced in
the House of Commons yesterday by
Chancellor of the EXchequer Churchlll,
can hardly be called better than luke
warm.
The serious character Of the eco
nomic and financial situation is every
where recognized. and the country :
increase in expenditure is regarded
with anxiety. The opposition papers
attribute this tc the government
which they charge with reckless eN-
travagance.
Already it is clear that there is so
ing to- be Il big controversy over the
proposed betting taN. with the pros
pect of strong opposition both inside
and outside Parliament. Even those
who favor the tax in principle seem
nervous regarding its reception by the
country and doubtful whether it can
be satisfactorily collected.
The opponents, including both rae
ing men and moralists, give voice to
their hostility in no uncertain tones.
Betting firms and many racegoers de
clare the only effect will be to drive
the betting business into the hands of
disreputable street boollmakers, com
pei the closing of many race meet
ings, damage a clean sport ana pro
duce a generally chaotic situation
Anything the government may derive
as revenue, they say, will be over
balanced by the evil done.

LIONS START ROARING
 FOR FR0LIC IN THEATER
Posters Announcing Show For Rene. fit of Children's Institutions
 Are Being Issued

The new posters advertising the Lions Frolic of 1927 are beginning to appear round town. This years poster is worthy of the unusual at tention it is attracting. Dewey Van Cott, art director of the high school has caught the spirit of the Laugh ing Lion and his conception of the King of Beasts in carnival attire is just another demonstration of MT. Van Cott's ability.
 This four color poster as the first step in the extensive publicity cam paign to put 'The Big Show over with bang lends substance to the enthusiastic predictions the Lions are making, that the Frolic Of 1927 will prove to be by far the most elaborate, most ambitious, and most enjoyable production in the crowded annals of New Britain's theatrical history, not excluding the efforts of the professionl producers.
 This means a correspondingly large Increase in the amount of money for the Newington Home for Crippled Children, the Children's Home in New Britain, and the Pol ish Orphanage, the beneficiaries of every dollar of the net proceeds of the Lions Frolic at the Capitol the ater January 10, II and 12.

CHRISTMAS PACKAGES
 ALREADY BREAK RECORD
Post Ofice Reports 20 to 40 Per Cent Increase in Parcel Post 
 Over Last Year

A substantial incr sase over the amount of Christmas mail handled by the parcel post department, is noticed this year according to Post master H. E. Erwin.
 MT. Erwin stated today that dur in, the first 12 days of December tho incoming parcel post was 20 per cent larger than that of last year. which in itself was record year. The outgoing mail is 40 per cent greater than last year, he said.
 This Is taken by the postmaster to indicate that the campaign to mail Christmas packages early is beginning to have it's effect. He says there Is always an increase in the amount of business every year.
 Wednesday probably will be the first oay for extra help at the post office. While only the volume of business will decide how much ex- tra help will be needed, there are men and trucks avg liable to take care of a 20 to 25 per cent increase.
