Washington, Dec. 3 R-Chairman Nye of the senate campaign funds committee said today his committee had uncovered expenditures oi $272,312 for the Davis Brown pri- mary ticket in Pennsylvania over the s36S,962 reported to the com mittee last May.
 William R. Douglas, of Camp Hill. Pa, secretary to William s. Ware. and organizer for Brown, testified under questioning that expenditures would have been as great in the Pennsylvania primary if Davis had been off the ticket. He added the cost probably would have been the same if Davis had been the only one on the ticket.
 Its just the cost of conducting an election machine" he said
 S5OO,OO0 Fair Start'
 Senator Dale Of Vermont, repubh can member of the committee, ask ed if $5O0,OOO would be d flair start for a campaign chest in Penn sylvania.
 Very fair Douglas replied.
 How much of that would be a! lotted for Davis. assuming that that was the goal set?" Nye asked.
 That's hard matter" Douglas replied, its unfair to charge most to him. Mir. Davis was a popular candidate"

Mayor Says He Asked Governor to Call Spe- cial Assembly Session and Reply From Hart ford Was Republicans Will Win, Anyway
City May Be Required to Spend S2OO,OOO But He Is Opposed to Tax In- crease, Executive h. forms Social Workers Club at Noon Luncheon.

Our government, both national and state, has been very lax and negligent in failing to take action to provide relief for the unemployed" Mayor Quigley declared in a talk today to the Social Workers club at the Y. M. C. A. banquet hall, where a luncheon was held
 He disclosed that prior to the No- vember election he sent a request to Governor Trumbull, through inter- Zachary channels, to call a special session of the legislature to appro- priate money for road work which would have provided employment for thousands Of men who are in dire need and whose families are suffering, but, he said, word came back that it was not necessary, as the republicans were going to win anyway"
 Immediately" he pointed out, "a political complexion was put on the matter. It has nothing to do with politics. l do not want anyone in New Britain to think that am try iltg to build up a political machine through the relief program we are carrying on."
 Ironic Toward PnoncsSa The mayor spoke for about Is minutes. sketching the work the city government is doing for the needy. l The present depression did not come about suddenly, he said having be- gun to make itself felt two years ago, but now it is acute and there is no way of foretelIing how long 1t will continue. His predecessor, ex- Mayor Paonessa. had some sort of an employment bureau in City hall" but in June of this year. soon after the new administration took charge it became necessary to open bu- reau in the Harvard street yard.
 Applications for work arc receiv- ed there and investigated by Mrs. A. C. Sundberg, President |. N. Hum- phrey of the board of public works having suggested to the mayor that it was entirely possible that the per sons who should have employment were being overlooked. Pick and shovel work on the streets is being done and everyone who is deserving and able to do such work is being looked after to as great an extent as possible.
 Relief Work. Not Charity
 r-l1Iob is being raised by popular subscrip- tiCn and from various sources such as have been described in the press will be distributed by a committee not connected with any charitable organization, the mayor said, be- cause those who will be helped are Of a class who do not want the stigma of charity" attached to their name. This is relief work, not charity" the mayor said. "The city government, the Welfare associa- ton and similar agencies can take care Of the regular run of charity cases. but the money in this special fund will be used to pay rents, pro vide food and clothing and similar relief for others, many of them in the so-called white collar class, who for years have been able to help others but now find themselves oblis- cd to accept assistance for them selves and their dependents"
 No Limit to Money Needs

ANTI-FASC|ST PLOT
 EXPOSED IN ITALY
American Born Woman, Lillian
 De BoSis, Among Prisoners
WIDESPREAD REVOLT PLAN
24 Arrested in Secret Organization, While Three are Held in Second Inquiry-Woman Extremely We'll Known in Rome.

Rome, Dec. (UP)-Police have discovered an anti-fascist organiza- tion in Rome and arrested three persons, it was announced officially today.
 One of those arrested was an American-b born woman, widow named De Bosis.
 Police also announced the discov- cry of another clandestine organiza- tion plotting against the regime and made A arrests, whose cases were sent 10 special tribunal, as was that of Mrs. De Bosis.
 Former Boston Woman
 Mrs. De Bosis was the former Lil- lian Vernon, of Boston, Mass. She is e.
 Mrs. De Bosis lived for some years in St. Louis, Mo. and has a sister living in Syracuse. N. Y.
 An official communique said:
 An anti-Fascist organization in Rome circulated clandestinely and periodically calumnous pamphlets of an anti-Fascist character. The ex- ponents of this activity who were arrested were Mario Vinciguerra, Renzo Rendi and the widow de Bos- sis. All three confessed and were sent to a special tribunal for the defense of the state"
 The arrests were the most numer- ous since the recent roundup, on the eve of the anniversary of the Fascist march on Rome. On that occasion. 20 persons were seized most of them in various localities in the north of Italy. They were accused of plot ting against the Fascist regime and conniving with Italian exiles in Paris.
 Most of Them Intellectuals
 Most of those arrested were of the intellectual class-professors and scholars. Arrests of commun- ists have been cquent. It is the Fascist policy to suppress the com- munist party and not allow it 10 or ganize in Italy.
 Premier Benito Mussolini explain ed his policy of suppressing anti government activities in his recent interview with the United Press. When asked if his campaign to Ire mould" Italy did not involve to some extent curtailment of the liberty of the subject, such as freedom to criti- cize, he replied:
 That depends largely on the criticism involved If it means in telligent and constructive criticism, then l say to you that we welcome it . but if you mean the right to conspire against the estate, ah! that is different. No ation tolerates at tempts to conspire against the gov crnment of the land and so far as Fascism is concerned, as it grows stronger, so will at: empts to over throw it be made harder"
 Recent Plan in Italy

 Rev. (. ]. Fredeen Claims
FINDS NEW ENGLAND WET
More Drinking in Northeast States Than Elsewhere, Pastor Of Beth any Church Tells W. C. T. U.- Swedish System Ineffective.

Coupling observations on the in crease of drinking in Sweden with the expression of conviction that the prohibition amendment and Nolstead act should not be altered Rev. C. J. Fredeen, pastor of the Swedish Bethany church, addressed the W. C. T. |. yesterday afternoon at Trin- ity church,
 He spoke on the Bratt system of government liquor control which is now in force in Sweden He visited Sweden last summer, investigated the drinking problem and assembled statistics on the consumption Of liquor there.
 The Rratt system has brought about an increase in drinking in Sweden rather than decreasing it, he said. It has removed drinking frcm saloons 10 the home, the speaker added and drinking in the home has caused women to take it up whereas formerly men were practically the only ones who drank.
 Asks for Water, Surprises Waiter
 Rev. MT. Fredeen said that during his visit to Sweden he was never voluntarily served with water in restaurants, and that when he ask ed for water the waiter appeared astonished. There has been steady incrase in the consumption of liquor successively for the past few years. The year ending in July, 1880, show ed an increase of three and six tenths per cent over the same perlod Of the previous year. "The Bratt sys- 1 tenn gives a 30 per cent increase over the old saloon system.' the speaker said, drawing from statls- tics of the Swedish government. Last year there were S0,000 fines record 1 ed in courts for cases of drunken ness and the speaker criticized the observations of those who visit Sweden and return saying they neV- CT saw a drunken man there, for they are plentiful. he said.
 Opposes Repeal
 Rev. MT Fredeen turned to the question whether there should be some modification of prohibition as it exists in this country today Hc said he thought it would be unTise to allow liquor in this country for various system Of government liquor control are not desirable. He admit { ted there is an abundance of drink ing in spite Of the Nolstead act and the eighteenth amendment and i that the cost of enforcement is high, but he likened the cost of en- forcement of prohibition to that of any other law, saying that just be- cause men rob and kill, despite i law, it IS no sign that the law
