POSTAL DEPOSITS HAVE DOUBLED
 IN PAST YEAR
While They Only Pay an Interest Return of 2 Per Cent, They Are on the Increase

Washington, Sept 4-(UP)- Postal savings deposits have more than doubled in the past year. William T. S. Rollins, director of this division of the postofflce de- pertinent, said to-day the increased deposits had been caused by con- fldence in government stability in a period of financial insecurity. At the close of business July 31, last, postal savings deposits, which pay an interest return of only 2 per cent, totalled $370,000,000. In June, 1880, the deposits amounted to $175,000,000 and in 1929 they tota1led $153,644,529.
 Money deposited with the post office is placed by the government in local banks throughout the country. The government obtains an interest return of 1-2 per cent, the extra one-haf of one per cent being used to cover expenses incurred in handling the money. "The timidity of the people in the face of numerous bank failures has caused them to transfer their money in larger amounts to postal savings" Rollins said. They have confidence that, although they get a smaller rate of interest, they will not lose their money if 1t is depos- ited with the government"

has won purses approximating $4,000.
 Livingston's only rival for speed

has won purses approxlmating $4,O0o.
 Livingston's only rival for speed honors at the races is Lowell Bayes, Springfield, Mass, airman. Flying his low-wing Gee Bee super speedster, Bayes has flashed to an unofficial American record for land planes with a speed of 286 miles an hour.
 In one race. a 50-mile free-forr all event, the Springfield flyer hurtled the speedster an average of 206.001 miles an hour. This time eclipses by almost five miles an hour the average speed which won the Thompson speed trophy at Chicago last year.
 Bayes will make an official at- tempt to better the record now held by Lieutenant Alfred Williams tomorrow when he will fly over the three -kilometer speed course at Cleveland airport. He will make two upwind and two downward flights over the course as provided in rules of the Federation Aero nautiaus International, governing body of sports aviation. During the tests, he must maintain level flight at 150 feet.
 Leave Los Angeles
 Los Angeles, Sept 4.-(UP)- The Los Angeles Cleveland Air Derby started to-day when eight aviators piloted their planes down the long runway at United Airport, Burbank, and headed eastward in a race for a prize of $15,000.
 Three of the pilots had dificulty in getting their heavily loaded planes off the ground and narrow ly missed telephone wires sur rounding the airport. They were Harold S. Johnson, of Chicago, Captain Ira Baker, army flyer, and Colonel Arthur Goebel. of Los Angeles. machines, and time of departure, E. s. T. follows:

 James c. Hall, New York, Lock- heed Altair, 4:43 a. m. Arthur Goebel, Los Angeles. Lockheed Vega, 4:45 a. m. Despite the early hour, a crowd of 5000 gathered at the airport to witness the start of the race.
 All of the planes were said to be capable of maintaining a speed in excess of 200 miles an hour.
 The flyers said they intended to fly in the lighter air found above an altitude of 10000 feet. Hall carried oxygen equipment and said he expected to fly above 1S,000 feet without stopping for fuel. He car ried 470 gallons of gasoline.
 All other pilots, with the excep- ton of Goebel, planned to stop for fuel. probably at Wichita or Kan sas City.
 Doolittle and Hunter were ex- pected to make several stops be- cause of the small gasoline capac- ity of their planes.
 Goebels plane was filled to capacity with 500 gallons of gaso- line.
 Rules of the race require that the pilots arrive in Cleveland be- fore z o'clock tonight to qualify for the $15,000 prize.

Harris Places Estimate To-day;
 Renews Appeal
for Those in Need of Apparel el-Pledge Cards at Printers Distribution Starts Tuesday

Distribution of pledge cards which will serve to bring funds into the unemployment relief com mittee's treasury over the winter months will start early during the coming week. Chairman William M. Harris stated this morning that the new pledge cards are now be- ing rushed through the printers and will be available right after Labor day. He also announced that the buttons which will iden- tify all cooperating in the drive for relief funds will also be avail able simultaneously with the start of the distribution of the cards.
 The drive this time, he said, has more importance attached to it than any other push" conducted in the past.
 Therefore, it is desired that the weekly income under the new pledge cards will show a $4,000 increase, at least, over the average weekly income shown in the past.
 Clothing continued to pour into the used clothing repair depart ment of the unemployment com- mittee to-day. Chairman Harris said that 'too much clothing will not be enough" to care for the

 Picks Its Men

"a new one for the office of city sheriff. Arthur Hebert, Robert Stone and Louis Lerz have been mentioned for the position, hereto fore. A spirited contest the nom- ination is expected at the g. 0. D.. city convention.
 At the same time, certain forces in the g. o. p. ranks have been pushing Frank Rossi for the board of relief. The North End club en- dorsed Charles Manganaro. This means that fight will be on in the republican town convention for this nomination. Joseph Stanley, present g. 0. p. member of the board, is expected to be renomin- ated so there will be a fight. 1t is felt, between Rossi, Manganaro and Pasquale Petrillo. The latter was first in the field.
 On all sides support seems to be stronger for Registrar of Voters Dillane than for his opponent, ex- Alderman Arthur F. Blewitt. Last nights action by the North End Political club added new strength to Mir Dillane.
 Many were wondering to-day whether or not the North End club would also support James Di- Rienzo for alderman. There is said to be a considerable boom on for | MT DiRienZo.

 Yesterday the appeal of Chair man Harris for sewing machines for use by the repair department of the unemployment committee met with 100 per cent response. Seven machines were donated. Six machines, which were used at the Sacred Heart school, have been loaned to the committee through the courtesy of Rev John Me- Teague, curate. The other machine came from Mrs Horace Bronson of Hillside avenue.
 It is estimated that 35,000 but tons to identify donors to the un- employment committees fund will be necessary. Therefore, the order for this number has been placed. The Boy Scouts of Waterbury and the various fire stations will con- tinue their cooperation in the drive for clothing, in the mean time, over the weekend.

lieved likely that Commissioner Tone will include him in his next appointment.
 The Naugatuck valley as a whole has been granted sparse representation on Tone's stan. No factory inspectors were named from Waterbury. Commissioner Tone went away up to Torrington to make an appointment and then skipped Waterbury and Nauga- tuck. going far down the valley. His action in appointing a Nau- gatuck man and the possibility of him selecting a Waterburian next means that the Naugatuck valley will have at least a fair repre- sentation on the labor staff. This is believed due the Naugatuck valley. covering an exceedingly large area, in view of the fact that MT Tone has seen fit to honor New Haven and other smaller sections with exceedingly heavy represen- tation on his staff.
 His friends in the borough and also in the 14th district have been advocating his appointment for many weeks. The new deputy was one of the most active democratic members of the house of repre- sentatives in the last session and was credited with submitting many meritorious bills. Representative Burns will enter upon his new dut- les next Tuesday. His territory has not as yet been assigned. The let- ter from Commissioner Tone mo- tifying him of his appointment follows:

EPISCOPALIANS PLAN STAND ON
 UNEMPLOYMENT
Declaration to Be Made at Denver Convention,
 Sept l6

Denver, Colo-An important de- claration on the subject of labor and the unemployment situation that will define the attitude of the Episcopalian church toward present economic conditions, is expected from the general convention of the church, which will assemble here
 A committee appointed by the Presiding Bishop of the Church. Rt Rev Jame De Wolf Perry, D.D., has been giving careful con. sideration to the subject and will formulate series of resolutions which are expected to constitute an important contribution to the problem.
 During the past three years a study of the historic attitude or the church toward labor has been made by Spencer Miller, Jr. sec retary of the Workers Education Bureau of America and advisor on Industrial Relations to the Depart ment of Christian Social Service Of ~ Results Published.
 The results of the study recently were published in the book The Church and Industry" the first Of its kind ever printed in this coun- try. The book was published off, cially by the Social Service Depart ment of the Church.
 A committee of the Lambeth Conference of Anglican Bishops, which met in London last year. and in which 50 bishops of the Epis- copal church in the United States participated, declared in a resolu- ton that it is unquestionable that the war spirit is engendered by self ishness and greed in industrial and economic relations; while the ill., creased strain of modern industry and the contract between excessive wealth and poverty tend to roster A spirit of unrest which reacts on the international situation"
 This committee also endorsed a resolution of the Lambeth confer ence of 1920, which said:
 Fundamental Change.
 "The outstanding and pressing duty of the Church is to convince its members of the necessity Of nothing less than fundamental change in the spirit and work of our economic life. This change can only be made by accepting as the basis of industrial relations. the principles of cooperation in service for the common good Tn place of unrestricted competition for private or sectional adVan- tage."
 Plans have been completed for a mass meeting on the Church ana Industry, which will be held here Sept 23. midway in the conventions sessions, and will be addressed by both employers and workers repre- sentatiYes.
