Government cfficials estimated yeeter-
day that several million dollars would be
saved during the current fiscal year In
the purchase Of food for Army and
Navy personnel by the increased value
OF the dollar.
Army officials figured the cost Of ra-
lions may amount 10 $5,000000 less.
Savings almost as large We're expected
IN the Navy and Marine Corps.
Last year 1t cost the Government SO
cents q day to feed each Army man.
Last May, :, the latest month for which
figures are available, 1t was costing the
Army only 50 cents day.
On yearly basis this would amount
70 about SIS ,000, 900 for the $4,000 men
IN the Army. It was believed the ration
cost today was even less.
In addition, Army oft1cials expect to
save large amounts In the cost Of ufli-
forms and other commodities, such as
military equipment and machinery.
Anticipating savings from the lower
costs of food. Congress at the last ses-
sion reduced the appropriation for Army
rations for the current year by $500, =
600. but now 1t Is believed this saving

to the South Leonard street bridge will take about a months work. The street department will do all the op- erations itself and will employ no outside help.
 The condition of the Baldwin street bridge has long been a mat ter of comment. There is consider able feeling that what is really needed at the point in question is an entirely new, modern structure. Baldwin street is one of the main thoroughfares in Waterbury and is traversed daily by thousands of pedestrians and motorists.
 However, the plans prepared by Superintendent Fleming call only for the remodeling and strengthen ing of the present old structure. About a year and a half ago Sena- tor Joseph H. Lawlor, at a meet ing of the board of works, moved to have the engineering department prepare plans for changing the en- tire layout at the junction of Mil and Baldwin streets. His proposal included the recommendation that the grade from Union Square to the Baldwin street bridge be wiped out with an overhead structure ol the raising the grade of the high way. Go action was taken on the matter, however.

WALL STREET IS BECOMING MUCH
 MORE CAUTIOUS
Profit Taking Is Expected Because of the Remark able Jump of Stocks in Last Few Days
By ELMER c. WALKER Vyn;toJ Dpocc Etna nCtaI E,ditOr'

New York, June 25-CUP)-Now that the stock market has risen more than 21 points in the indus trial average in less than week; 10 points in the rail average and z in the utilities, Wall street is be- coming more cautious, awaiting technical reaction.
 It was said in the financial con- munity that unless some exception ally bullish item appeared in the news, those who purchased stocks in the last few days would be tempted to take profits with the usual reaction accompanying the selling.
 The sharp advance which sent steel common across par for the first time in more than a month added some $6,O00,00O,000 to thevalue of all shares listed.
 The market turned on change in sentiment brought about by the Hoover efforts to set Germany back on her feet financially and avert political crisis there.
 True, the steel industry has con- tjnued to fall backwards being now at 35 jer cent of capacity. But there is every indication that the business is reaching the irreducible minimum, ready to turn upward sharply when the demand makes It. self felt.
 Some other items include two ad- vances in the price of copper metal several advances in zinc prices, bet ter demand for cotton cloth at high CT prices and 0 pickup in demand for pipe for oil pipelines and struc- tural steel.
 Sentiment in Wall street is always A. dominating factor. It is the mov- ing force that carries things to ex- tremes. It was the force behind the bull market down this year De- yond all reason to points where val ues were not considered.
 Optimistic sentiment gathers force in an upturn from a severe de- nression, It was given impetus yesterday when Westinghouse Elec- tric. Baltimore & Ohio, Northern Pacific, Gold Dust and United Inn provement declared regular quaterly dividends.
 In just three full sessions and one short Saturday session the market has regained losses back to the first part of May. At the close last night, American Telephone was up zS-i,4 points from its low of the year mace a few weeks ago; Anaeonda up lo; Consolidated Gas up 14-l-2; Du foht up 1S-l-4; General Motors up S-l.4 Fennsylvania Railroad up 7-7-s; h' |. Reynolds Tobacco up IS; stand ara Oil of New Jersey up g:i-2; United States Steel 18-7-S and wool worth 1i-3-S.

NO PENNIES IN PLATE
 FOR THIS CHURCHMAN

Knoxville-(NEA) - When the collection plate is passed in front of J. H. Anderson, member of the Southern Baptist church of Knox vile, every Sunday, he calmly drops in $750.
 This amount is toward Andersons annual pledge to the church, in ad- dition to special donations running from $10,000 to $50,000.
 Anderson, prominent business man, has been quoted as saying in this regard:
 This represents no sacrifice to me. I live comfortably and have plenty of money for my own needs. The people who should be honored are those who have little and yet through sacrifice contributet their tithe.
 People doing most for the King dom are those who have the least left. Christ's own ideal of generosity was the widows mite."

NOTED ALIENIST TESTIFIES IN PROBATE COURT
Railroads Applied
 Officially For The
 Freight Rate Raise
Executives Formally Request Increase of IS Per Cent
 They Gave Reasons for Asking Extra Charges

previous experience has shown that there is but one method which has been adopted, or as a practical mat ter could be adopted either by the carriers or the commission, to afford the necessary relief, namely a per- centage increase in rates."
 Nearly every one of the nations railroads was represented when the petition was drafted at conferences in Chicago. Presidents, traffic off, ficials and other executives of rail- roads in the eastern, western, south ern and mountain-Pacific sections of the country voted in favor of the rate increase.
 The railroads petitioned the con- mission on June 16 for authority to raise all rates by 15 per cent. This proposal met with objections, and the railroads later stated that if the increase were allowed they would not make it applicable to all com- modities.
 International freight rates would be increased under the railroads proposal, the petition said. Execu- tives of transportation companies which transport freight by water have concurred with the railroads in requesting the increase, it was announced.
 Railroad officials pointed out that requests for increased rates on a definite list of commodities was not made because Investigations and court procedure which might be | necessary would require several months.
 i Under the roads proposal, the commission may grant the request | for the increase in one decision | The roads later may make adjust r ments on commodities which arc | believed incapable of bearing the increased freight rate assessment. Hundreds of records, charts and revenue figures were considered by the railroads executives and traffic authorities on series of meetings here before the application was drawn. Conferences also were held with representatives of shippers or ganizations.
 The petition was signed for east ern roads by J. J. Policy, president of the New York, New Haven and Hartford; for western and mountain | Pacific roads by H. A. Scandrett president of the Chicago, Milwaukee | St Paul and Pacific, and for south ern roads by w. R. Cole, president of the Louisville and Nashville. The commission then requested more specific information concern ing what commodities would be in- cluded on the increased freight list The new petition was in answer to that request.
 In referring to the suggestion that it may be decided later to make ad- justments on the rates on certain classes of freight, the railroads ill their latest petition said:
 Experience has shown that where any general change in the entire rate structure of the country is au- | thorized and become effective, it has subsequently, been found to be neces' sary to make changes and readjust ments, in some instances reductions to meet competition and other sit nations.
 "Such changes where found nec- essary will be made as promptly as possible after the proposed increased rates, if approved by the commits sion, become effective"

Contrary opinions expressed by a noted alienist and two local medical men and the serving of divorce pa- pers by the subject in contested commitment featured the hearing in the probate court this morning in which Judge Dennis J. Slavin re- served decision. The husband of Mrs Rose Rizzuto endeavored to have the woman confined to an in- sane hospital on the ground that she is suffering from illusions and the woman contested the charge and upon the completion of the hearing, Constable James B. O'Leary served divorce papers on MT Rizzuto, alleg- ing cruelty.
 Judge Slavin allowed only Dr AL len R. Diefendorf, noted New Ha- ven alienist, who took part in the famous Thaw trial, and Drs Richard Hinchey and J. Henry McGrath on the stand. pr Diefendorf stated that the woman is quite sane; while the other physicians stated that she is unbalanced.

break similar, in some ways, to the former Italo-Vatican controversy which, for some 60 years. was known as "the Roman question"
 It was indicated at the Vatican that hope of obtaining satisfaction from Italy through diplomatic chan nels had been practically abandoned. Considerable fear was expressed that acts of violence which brought the dispute. into the open might be renewed.
 The Italian reply to the Vatican's notes in the dispute protested al- legged "secret and seditious" dealings of the Azione Cattolica, 1ayman's organization. The governments move in seeking to disband the or ganization was based on charges 1t had become political in nature, in opposition to terms of the accord with the Holy See. The note also protested the Pope's unjust ap- peal' for world sympathy.

Chicago, June 25.-(UP)-Execu- tives of the United States railroads applied to the interstate commerce commission to-day for permission to increase all freight rates by 15 per cent.
 The increase is necessary. the peti- tion, filed at Washington. said in order to put the roads back on a sound financial basis. The petition asked that the rate advance be made lon all freight rates and charges, including joint rail-and-water rates. ''
 It was believed, however, that if the straight horizontal increase were granted, the railroads later would adjust the rates applicable to farm produce, petroleum, coal and other classes of freight.
 "The steam railroad carriers ot the United States are confronted with an emergency threatening seri- ous impairment of their financial re- sources and their capacity to assure the public continuance of efficient and adequate service" the petition said.

RELATIONS WITH THE VATICAN AND

Doubt Expressed in Rome That Any Solution Can Be Reached for Many Months

LECSS
 Rome, June 25-(UP)-A serious impasse appeared to-day to have been reached in the controversy be- tween the Roman Catholic church and the fascist state, and doubt was expressed that a solution could be reached for many months.
 The developments in the past "A hours have tended to widen the breach rather than close it. Italy sent sternly worded note to the Vatican refusing to "deplore" re- cent anti-papal demonstrations by fascist students as demanded by Pope Plus XI.
 The Pope shortly after receipt of the reply, in a public pronounce ment made it clear that the Italian response was not satisfactory. Neither side, it appears, is ready to make concessions which appear es- sential to peace in the dispute.
 As a result, it was feared the inn passe may lead to a diplomatic
