BUSY DAYS AHEAD
 FOR [. HART FENN
Conn. Congressman on Commit tees With Crowded Calendars
By GEORGE II. MANNING

'''' N'i t 4'' b. dlbj
 Washington, Dec. 14-Busy days throughout the present session of congress are assured for Represent ativc F. Hart Fenn of Wethersneld through his reappointment to the chairmanship of the committee on the census and to memberships on three other important committees. Owing to the pressure of work in these bodies. Mir. ITenn at his own request has been relieved from the committee on labor, in which he was & prominent member.
 Although Mir. Fenn in the last congress put through the legislation for the census 10 be taken next spring and for reapportionment, he still has much work on hand as chairman of the census. As a mem- Der of banking and currency, he will find strenuous times in the pcppcry fight over branch banking for national banks. and as mem Der Of the committee on world war veterans legislation he also will have his hands full. Finally. he has been named again to education. the members Of which never find time hanging heavy on their hands.
 In banking and currency, Mr. Fcnn moves up one place and be- comes fourth in order of seniority, and in education he remains third, and in veterans legislation becomes nine, instead of 10.
 Representative Schuyler Merritt of Stamford retains his position on interstate and foreign commerce. which. in these days of business legislation, has assumed an impor- tance virtually second to none.
 On military affairs, Represent alive James P. Glynn of Winsted advances from eighth place to sixth, and finds himself confrofted with much legislation of serious and most important nature.
 As majority floor leader, Repre- sentative John c. Tilson of New Haven escapes committee work, but in a general way keeps in touch with tho work of all the commit tees. As pilot of the house. he acts with the committee on rules in lay ing cut the legislative program, and also he guides the progress of the house in action on the floor.

COALITION MOTION

Midnight Meeting AdjOurns After Reaching Agreement

Berlin, Dec. 14 UP) - A mid night meeting of Chancellor Her mann Mucllers coalition cabinet and party leaders adjourned at 1:29 a. m., today after deciding to pre- sent to the Reichstag q confidence motion including the whole finan- Cial reform program of Minister of Finance Dr. Rudolph Helterding, which nas precipitated a political crisis, threatening not only the Ous- ter of the finance minister, but the entire cabinet.
 There was firm hope that the compromise reached between social ist leaders and folks party leaders would be acceptable to all parties and would tide the government oitr the present crises. The motion, as framed at the midnight conference. was presented to other caucuses to- cay for final decision.
 Compromise Is Reached
 The compromise between the so- cialists and the folks party was reached when the former agreed to include in the motion the entire financial program at which they had baked throughout previous eau cuses. They had been willing to accept the emergency sections of the program. proving for immedi- ate increase in certain taxes in or der to tide the government over the year and financial stringency. The folks party leaders had been will ing to accep, the emergency meas ures only in return for approval of

certain other sections which were favorable to industry.
 The compromise was represented in reservations made in the motion of confidence in which the cabinet reserved the right to reconsider cer- tain clauses of the general program,
 Prior to the conference the folks party was reported to have demand ed the resignation of Hilferding Whcreupon the socialists rctaliated with concentrated attack on Dr. Julius Curtius, folks party minister or economic affairs.
 Claims Nothing Dcnc
 The controversy has lasted. the entire week and vas rrecipitated by the attacks Of pr. Hjalmar Schacht president of the Reichstag, who charged in mcmo orandum to the Rcnchsbanll that the government had done nothing in the way of financial reform which would en- able Germany to meet her repara- tions payments. He appeared before the Rcichstag in person this week and threw the situation into further dispute.
 Generally, the controversy hinges about Germanys financial deficit, which Hilferdng proposes to re- move with the aid of a loan from an American banking group. Negoti- ations already were underway for the loan before HiIferding announc- ed his proposal which provides q general program of tax reduction over a five-year period and includes an emergency section increasing taxes on many items for a year. Schacht's criticism was made only q few days before the finance min- lSter'S program was revealed and later the banker criticized the pro- posals, charging that the emergency increases were insufficient to raise the money 10 meet the present situ-' ation.

 The practice of saving, in manher of the Scotch adage many a nickel makes a muCille." in the aggregate has reached several million dollars in this state alone. This flood of collars which begun with the trick ing into banks and other institutions o' tiny streams of pennies, dimes, quarters and half dollars, is now be- ing turned into channels of trade 70 make what merchants are forecast ing as very busy season.
 Estimates obtained in various communities show that in most in- stances the totals of savings have gone ahead of last year.
 
 Here are some of the figures:
 New Haven has had about $690.- 000 Ansonia, $l13,00O; Derby, $91,- 0G0; Shelton. S45, ,0OO; Seymour, $42,- 3l7; Torrington, Sl51,G00 Danbury, $2o0,0OO; New Britain, $250,Q0O or lnore: Stamford, $5CO,O0U Water bury, $54l ,000; New Lcndon, $3SS.- 044 to 7,S17 persons, an increase ot $2G.l74 over fast year.

He declared the emergency pro- gram should yield at least 500,000,- 900 marks while in it's present form he contended it would not bring in more than 360,O00,O0O marks. He urged as a means to make up that difference an increase in the beer tax which promptly drew a storf of protest from the Bavarian. peoples party.
 A day Of bitter debate in the Reichstag yesterday was climaxed by the submission of motion by the government authorizing the con- traction of a loan of 4G5, ,0O0. GOO marks ($l1l,470,000). There was no indication Of how the government intended to make up the difference between their estimate of the rev cnuc or the increased taxes.
