He is an old and intimate friend of ><Mr Hoover and his entry into the formal national party organi- zation prepares the way for his taking an important part in next years campaign.
 The republican national com mittee has. enlarged it's activities particularly in the farm belt, where it set up an advisory agri- cultural council and special rural publicity department, 10 answer criticism of the federal farm board.
 The National Civil Service Re- form league made public to-day an exchange of correspondence with Assistant Postmaster General Arch Coleman. charging that post office administrators were encour- aging political activity among post masters on behalf of the republi- can party.
 On the democratic side, there is not only the publicity barrage from the democratic national com mittee, but James A. Farley, chair man of the New York democratic state committee, and close asso- ciate of Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt, has just completed a iranscontinental survey which took him into almost every state west of the Mississippi. Roosevelt himself recently spoke at the Uni- versity of Virginia Institute of Politics, and left behind him ia vorable reaction.
 The report of Roosevelts physi- clans, just made public, Is design ed to set at rest any doubts as to his physical condition.
 Political activity in both parties is being predicated more and more upon expectation that economic is- sues will overshadoW everything else next year. President Hoover proposed the years moratorium on reparations and war debts, and de- velopments yet to come will de- termine just how this bold step Of MT Hoover's will figure politically
 But at home numerous situations of political consequences are talk ing shape. Unprecedented low prices on wheat have produced a feeling of resentment in Kansas against farm board policies. The oil industry in the southwest is suffering so severely from overpro- duction that aggressive demands backed by considerable political force, are almost inevitable in the next congress.
 Railroads are now seeking I per cent freight rate increase be- fore the interstate commerce com mission. This demand leaves on one side the possibility of criticism by growers and shippers, or If ii denied, the possibility of wage re- auctions for thousands of railroad workers. In either case the griev- ances are likely to be carried to congress. ...
 All economic issues. however, are subject to considerable healing In event of a marked business i'm

He expressed the company's ap. preciation to the general public and press for it's encouraging sup port and it's cooperation in making possible the new project. He paid tribute to the officials of the West. ern Electric Company and its em- ployes for their genius in the in stallation work. Special reference was made to Joseph V. kricek, who had charge of the work of making possible the dial system. The undertaking was started on October 27. 1930. and was turned over to the telephone company in June of the present year. A force of over 100 men were employed in the technical work. About $50 tons of equipment were used in the work.
 Mayor Hayes congratulated the the telephone company on the accomplishment and expressed the citys appreciation of the beauti full telephone building. His honor in a reminiscent mood recalled the efforts of Dr Alexander Graham Bell in demonstrating the possi- bilities of telephone service be- tween Waterbury and Bridgeport and later of the first telephone in Waterbury as owned by Dr Rod man.
 At 11:45 o'clock a force of 4S employees marched into the room and took their places along the rows of racks. At a signal from Thomas F. Reilly, wire chief, Mayor Hayes rang the gong. There 48 employees ripped out blocks and established the connections.

 New York, July 20-(UP) - Joseph F. Guffey, former demo- cratic national committeeman from Pennsylvania, whose forecast of what democratic delegates from that state would q in the past three presidential campaigns has been within two votes of being cor rect, today announced Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York would receive support of not less than 66 of Pennsylva vania's 72 delegates.
 Guffey was one of the staunch- est among the supporters of for mer Governor Alfred E. Smith in the conventions and campaigns of 1924 and 1928. He Is the first leader of the party controlling a large block of delegates from an eastern state to declare for and predict the nomination of Roose- vent.

 The system is less than AS hours old, but thousands of calls have been diaIed without any evidence of confusion. Today marked the crucial test and telephone offi- cials were observing the reaction to hundreds of subscribers mak- ing their initial call. All Water bury was dialing today with the same indication of comprehension n as to the method of operating.
 The adoption of the dial service Saturday night was also made the occasion of reception for many invited guests. The new building, a marvel in spacious accommoda- tions, was thoroughly inspected. Every department was visited and on each instance the response of the visitors to the explanations and descriptions give by employees or officials was enthusiastic. There was an abundance of flowers in the various offices. The business quarters. operating room. cafeteria and other departments revealed new delights for the scores of vis- itors.

opposed to the French plan. The French want to grant Germany a $500, 100000 long-term loan sub ject to certain political concessions.
 The Americans contend it is use less to loan money to Germany until confidence in Germany is re- stored abroad and the withdrawal of foreign money from Berlin ceases. Stimson, speaking at plenary session in Paris yesterday, was reported to have said:
 There is no use pouring more water into leaky tub. The first thing to do is to plug the leak"
 Thus Stimson and Mellon may be expected to make definite pro- posals which they will be ready to discuss loan. American diplo- mats deprecated reports in the French and German press that the United States was blocking a loan to Germany. They said careful sounding -out of big banks indicat- ed loan could not be fioated un- til Germany's credit is restored.
 Although the United States &C., quiesced to the French demand that the London agenda must not include disarmament, Stimson will continue DrlVAt6 OlScuSSlOn or the subject with the diplomats in Lon don. hoping for possible Franco German accord to facilitate the movement. Italy was understood to be preparing new compromise proposal to submit to France re- garding their naval dispute.
 Macdonald had lunch with Stimson and Mellon at their hotel. They received the American pyess but Stimson declined to discuss President Hoover's disarmament wishes in connection with the pres ent conference: He said he was conferring with Tsuneo Matsudaira the Japanese am bassador, this afternoon.
