Senator Lauds Work In Economy Arranging Of Debt Terms With Allies And Measures For Aerial Defense of This Country.

Hartford, July IA GF) - United States Senator Hiram Bingham, ar irving here this morning to attend the statewide gathering of repub- ! lican women at the Allyn House to- day, declared that he would not be present at the outing of the Repub- l lican club of New Haven being held at Lighthouse Point at the same time.
 'I won't be able to make it." the senator said in explanation of his absence from the program arranged by political leaders of his home city. Women from all parts of the state began to arrive at the Allyn House at Il o'clock although the meeting was not scheduled to begin until noon. Their early arrival was due to a confusion of daylight saving and standard time. Today's meet ing will be the largest of it's kind ever held, Miss Katherine Byrne of Putnam, vice-Chairman of the re- publican state central committee, said. She expected five hundred wo- men to be present but was unable to estimate how many would come from New Haven, since Col. Louis NJ. .Ulman, chairman of the committee lin charge of the outing in that city, expected an attendance of from ?, GOO to 5000 at Lighthouse Point.
 Miss Byrne said the meeting here was to bring republican women to- gether from all parts of the state to hear what party leaders expect ed of them in the coming fall cam paign. She was unable 10 state whether the other scheduled speak CTS, J. Henry Roraback, chairman of the republican state central commit tee, United States Senator George P. Mclean and Governor John II. Trumbull would leave the meeting after speaking to attend the New Haven outing, but she said the gathering would continue through the afternoon.
 The assemblage here was little affected by the rival meeting at Lighthouse Point. As the meeting opened it was reported that Sena- tor Mclean would not be able to attend.

 Senator Bingham in his address before the women said in part:

In all enormous machine like that of the federal government waste often ap- pears to be inevitable and is readily cOndoned. President Coolidge with his strongly inherited New England tendency toward thrift has persist ently urged a most careful scrutiny of public expenditure. This has made possible q greater reduction ill taxes than seemed likely. Secretary Mellon and the finance committees ot the two houses Of congress worked out plans for the reduction of taxes in a busincss-like manner. The adop- ton of these plans fin the face of considerable opposition is a credit to the congress.
 Debt Ratification.
 "A forward step looking toward the eyentful liquidation of OUT tre- mendous liabilities caused by the war. was the securing of reasonable terms for the payment of the debts incurred by the Allies and the rati- tication Of most Of these foreign debt agreements by the congress.
 Another important achievement of the administration and the con- gress was the manner in which far sighted plans for the development of aviation were worked out and adopt ed. Instead of being stampeded into making radical changes Of uncer- tain value or adopting methods which may De correct in Europe, they determined upon a sane pro-
