A few weeks ago Judge John Rufus Booth in decision rendered in superior court, denied without preju- dice, the motion of MT Thoms and Mir Reed asking that this unexpend- ed balance left in the Citizens and Manufacturers National bank, in MT Reeds name, since 1918, be turned over to the mayors unemployment committee for relief work. The mo- ton was made on the grounds that the purposes of the fund would be best served by such action. Judge Booth pointed out in his decision the statutes specifically state that in cases of the kind in question, the attorney general must be cited in to represent the public.
 Steps were taken by Attorney Thoms and MT Reed, chairman of the unemployed committee, to cite in the attorney general as party de- fcndant.
 In the answer to this motion, the at torney general points out that War ren B. Burrows has succeeded B. w. filling as attorney general and asks the superior court to cite in MT Bur- rows as party defendant.
 The answer further states that the attorney general believes the funds
  United War Work Campaign Fund" were intended to be used for the benefit of the soldiers, sailors and marines of the United States in and during the World war. The answer points out that there is an Ameri- can Legion post in Waterbury com posed of ex-servicemen. It also ex- plains that this post is now engaged in organized relief work for the needy and unemployed ex-servicemen and their families and dependents
 The answer further adds, That the true purpose of the setting aside of said funds will be best served by turning the balance of said fund to said post or posts of the American Legion to be expended by the re- spective committee or associations thereof for the relief of the needy, ill, unemployed, or distressed ex-

 ing the adoption of a widows pen l sion bill. A total vote of 142 was
 cast of which 1O8 voted in favor and
 only 34 in opposition. Married men, | of course, were practically unani- nous, while some of the single mem- bers with future prospects" were divided in their sentiment. More than % members due to illness or disinterestedness failed to partici-
 pate in the referendum which is to
 be statewide. Other cities will
 "check in" later the preference of it's policemen.
 The Waterbury police will now ask the board of aldermen to place it's stamp of approval on the vote of the finest, so that the measure will carry with it into the general assembly the official sanction of the city fathers.
 Balloting started early yesterday morning at local police headquart- CTS and was concluded when the night platoon went to the polls at 7:3O o'clock last night.

 be one-quarter of his salary while on active duty. The funds to defray this expense are to be obtained py assessments, each officer being taxed one per cent of his wages. Incidentally with the proposal or

to say privately that he has been
lacking in political skill.
There is considerable criticism of
his debt reduction maneuvers at a
time when the administration is
asking the country to shoulder the
most drastic peace-time tax increase
in history.
They also feel that Mr.. Hoover
has been too much engaged in max
ing major controversies out of in
cidents such as the Navy League
criticism.
Open Criticism Unlikely
Underlying it all is the fact that
Mr.. Hoover was accepted originally
with great reluctance by old-line
party leaders in 1923. They did not
regard him as a Republican at heart
His long residence abroad and his
indecision in 1920 as to which party
he chose to become affiliated with,
s0wed the seeds of much suspicion
among group to which party 10y
atty is the cardinal requirement.
At the moment there is no indi-
cation this grumbling will break
into the open. There are two rea-
sons: First, the revolt has no dom
mating national figure who will lead
the fight in the open. Second, since
the Taft-Roosevelt fight in 1912, it
has been a party axiom that no
President could be prevented from
taking denomination for a second
term.

BOOTLEG GAS
QUIZ ABSURD
SAYS OIL HEAD
Red Herring Drawn Across
Trail by Monopoly
WeSterner Asserts.

Charge Of widespread gasoline
bootlegging in Indiana was termed
absurd on the face of it," in let
ter received by Floyd E. William
son, state auditor, today from
James Duce Of Denver, president Of
the North American gasoline tax
conference.
The conference is composed Of
representatives Of gas tax depart
ments from throughout the states.
Commenting on the big organized
oil dealers getting Governor Harry
G. Leslie to conduct a SPECIAL probe
of bootlegging here, Duce declared
that they should come in with
clean hands"
TITS passing strange that at this
late hour such anxiety should be
manifest" Duce's letter states.
AssaiIs Big Companies
"There is not, nor never has been,
any industry anywhere that has
been cursed with more untrue propo-
ganda than the oil industry. This
recent spasm Of righteous indiga-
ton on tax evasion is another in
stance of the power usurped by some
people to further undesirable ends.
II have been in this Office since
1918 but until the least few weeks
I haven't seen any undue haste to
obey the law"
He suggests that "gas bootlegger"
should be defined as zone who does
not deal with us" and terms the
nationwide probe foStered by the
big organized oil companies:
"The red herring drawn across
the trail by monopoly, which needs
careful watching"
Voiced Similar Views
Somewhat similar views were
voiced by Williamson when the in
Vestigation was first suggested.
Joseph w. Tracy, state gasoline
tax collector under Williamson, and
William Cosgrove, assistant auditor,
today conferred with Attorney-G
eral James M. ogden regarding the
position of Earl Stroup, deputy at
torney -general, in the gas probe.
Ogden said Stroup will give it
his full time and expects to be paid
from Governor Harry G.. Eeslie's
emergency fund, since the Governor
asked him to undertake the investi-
cation.
Cosgrove suggested that the gas
tax revenues bear the cost, so that
money might be saved to the gen.
al fund He will talk to Leslie
2Out that later, Cosgrove declared.

Petroleum Method.

By United Press
MEXICO CITY, Dec. 14.-Large
scale production of automobile
tires, rubber heels and other rub
Der products from synthetic rubber
made from petroleum is expected to
start here in January.
Julio Teller Giron, 46, research
chemist, who perfected the process
after seventeen years experiment,
told the United Press that the Com
pania Hulera Mexicana, of which
ex-President Plutarco Elias Gales
is president, would have a plant in
operation by January which will
produce from three hundred to four
hundred tires and 5000 rubber heels
daily.
In celebration Of issuance of a
patent for his process at Washing
ton, Senior Giron drove to Cuerna-
vaca in his automobile equipped
with synthetic tires, on a pleasure
trip.
The inventor explained that he
had held the idea for seventeen
years that petroleum in its early
stages closely resembles rubber, and
that this formula merely returns
petroleum to its early stages.
