Optimistic Outlook.

That the automobile industry
will lead the way to general re-
covery of business, through har-
monious policies and concerted
action, utilizing its vast resources
for advertising and other sales eff
fort, is the opinion recently ex-
pressed by L. A. Miller, president
of the WHY'S Overland Co., over
a Hesitation coast-to-coast radio
network.
There are daily evidences of
growing confidence in American
business" Mr.. Miller told his un-
seen audience, land it seems to
me that so little is required to in
sure a dramatic recovery. For
two years, limited consumption
has exceeded restricted produc-
don; our needs are mounting
our shelves are empty, while our
resources are tremendous.
Taking advantage of today's
market will lay the foundation of
tomorrow's wealth, but faith is
required. I firmly believe that the
automobile industry will lead the
way, by harmonious policies and
concerted action, utilizing it's vast
resources for advertising and
other sales effort.
Following the sound advice of
President Hoover's Committee on
Unemployment Relief, as we an
proach Thanksgiving, we should
manifest by word and deed our
deep interest in those who are
suffering. In addition, we should
determine to Danish fear from our
minds, substituting, therefore. a
supreme confidence in the future
of American business and in our
leaders, as well. Thanksgiving in
1881, with sympathy and conf
dence, should prove to be our
most fruitful season."

THREE TICKETS TO BE OFFERED

Communist Party Files Ticket To-day With Three Candidates Charles Crosnitski Is Seeking May0ralty

Three tickets will be offered 10 the electorate of Waterbury next Tuesday, election day, instead of two as has been the belief hereto fore. Today the office of the regis trars of voters announced that the communist party of Waterbury had filed a ticket offering three candi- dates to the people for election. Charles Crosnitski will be the conn munist candidate for mayor.
 It is understood that the action of the local communist group Is in accordance with a policy adopt ed in Hartford and other leading cities of Connecticut. In other communities the communist organ nations have filed tickets seeking to gain control of local govern
 The fling of the communist ticket in this city was taken as a light matter by the leaders of both the republican and democratic parties today. Heads of both or- ganizations expressed the opinion that the communist candidates will poll a very inconsiderate, vote.
 Running with Mfr. Crosnitski on the ticket Is his brother who, how ever, spells his name differently. The registrars of voters were at a loss to explain this, Vincent Krasnitskis, a brother of the com munist mayoratty candidate, seeks the post of alderman.
 The third candidate on the com munist ticket Is Joseph Zemaitis. The latter seeks the post of city clerk. He will have as his op- ponentS the present g.o.p. incum- bent. Edward B. O'Donnell, and the democratic nominee. John T.. Fitzmaurice. Jr.

Seeks Sl0,000 to Build Club House at Municipal Golf Course - Bond Is- sue Used for Nine Holes Two Ready for Play

The board of park commissions CTS in regular session yesterday afternoon approved a figure of $117.f92.66 as the budget to oper- ate the park department in 1892. The amount is practically the same as this years with the, exception of a $10,000 item included to meet the cost of a club house at the new municipal golf course.
 It was explained that funds: talk en from the $50, 900 bond issue will be practically exhausted in the con- struction of the golf course itself, leaving insufiicient money to erect a suitable club house. ItSwas point ed out that the erection of the club house at a cost of about $10,- GOO will be in the form of an in- vestment rather than mainten- ance, because the house will pay for itself when the course is open for play.

SECRETARY HYDE GETS DATA ON ]
 LECALIzED BEER
Returning From Missouri With Reports-Senator Copper Believes Effect on Depression Would Be Small

Washington, Sept 2s-UP)- Secretary of Agriculture Hyde. will return here to-morrow to supertn- tend compilation by his department of report on the effect on agri- culture of return of legaiixed beer. < *eeSs'
 After his announcement last week that such a report was to be made, Hyde left for Missouri with instructions that research work to be started during his absence.
 One of the first bits of evidence to go into the making of the re. port will reiafe to s;,the increased consumptions of dairy products since prohibition. ffty Sl
 The department recently con. cluded study which showed that the per capita consumption of milk increased from 42.4 gallons in 1917 to about 5S gallons in 1929. The per capita consumption of butter increased from l4.6 pounds in 1917 to 17.61 pounds in 1929 and. 17.75 pounds in 1880.
 Senator Capper. republican, Kan. a prohibitionist. said to-day that grain consumed in making beer would be "infinitesimaf' compared with total grain production. |. Those who are proposing, the proposition win find Unnecessary to bring about a change in the whole sentiment of congress- he said. Another element in this. whole situation which seems to have been overlooked is that iegalized beer has not lessened the effect of the depression In other countries"

 HOOVER
Not Candidate for Presi- dentiai Nomination = Secretary Affrms Au- thenticity of State ments to Be Published in Saturday Evening Post
BY RAYMOND CHAPTER

United Press Stan Correspondent
 Washington, Sept. 29.-UP)- The biggest potential obstacle to the renomination of President Hoover appeared, in the opinion of most political leaders, to have been definitely removed to-day.
 Former President Calvin Coolidge has just written a magazine article which Is generally construed here as pledge of support for the re- nomination of MT. Hoover. Mir. Coolidge was regarded as having indicated a desire that he be elim- mated from consideration as a pos- sible candidate.
 MT Coolidge's pronouncement in support of President Hoover and against his own presidential can- didacy in 1881 puts to rest" the question of MT Hoover's renomina- tion Chairman Fess of the republi- can national committee said.
 "Mr Coolidge's attitude as ex- pressed in his article was well un- derstood by most of the country before it was made" Fess said. "It ought to be a complete answer to the promoters of anti-administra- tion sentiment. It puts to rest the question of the re-nomination of President Hoover and will be a de- termining factor in his assured re- election.'' ...
 The article in the issue of the Saturday Evening Post appearing on the news stands to-day, was the subject of discussion throughout the capital. Copies were eagerly sought. They were seen at the White House executive offices early in the morning. Jouett Shouse, ex- ecutive chairman of the demo- cratic national committee. sent; out for copy as soon as he reached his office. The article is not yet re. leased for newspaper publication.
 Its importance arises from the fact that the chief potential ob- stacle to the renomination of Pres ident Hoover was the possibility that MT. Coolidge would permit himself to be brought back into ac- tive politics. Many of his friends have urged him to permit them to

NAVY MUST CUT
 DOWN ON ITS !. 1933 BUDGET
President Hoover Is An- noyed at Efforts to In- crease Size of Navy Will Take Question to People If Necessary

Washington. Sept 2s-UP)- President Hoover has ordered the navy department to reduce its 1893 budget from $401,000.0O0 to $36O.- 000,000, it. was learned authorita- lively to-day.
 The navy construction program understood to be favored by MT Hoover would require $65,0O0, 900, for next year. an increase of $15,- 100000 over this year. It is the presidents view that the increase can be made up by economies to be effected in other ways in the de- partment.
 President Hoover has become much annoyed at what he regards as press propaganda for a larger navy by persons in the navy de- partment.
 If this activity which he regards as an attempt to start backfire in the American press does not cease. he is prepared to go to the American people to find out wheth. CT they or -the- navy department is to determine how much the gov. ernment shall spend.
 The president has seldom been so provoked as he has been by the news dispatches originating here regarding higher naval expendi- lures and there was a manifest de- termination at the White House to- day to call a halt in this if 1t re- quired a direct appeal to the pub lie. ......
 MT Hoover does not regard Se- cretary, of Navy Adams as being a participant in this alleged activity.
 There is no indication. of a rift between him and his secretary of navy It was clear to-day. however that others In the navy department have drawn the sharpest burst of

Nahant, Mass, September 2s - (UP) f-- Coast Guards rescued the entire crewr,of .19 today when the army dredger, Toledo, swamped by heavy seas, foundered suddenly four miles off bass point.
 The huge .dredger went to the bottom in 40 feet of water within 20 seconds after it became un- manageable. e.
 + Only heroic work by the. crew of the Coast Guard Cutter 278, which was quickly at the scene, prevented heavy loss of life, it was believed.
 Thirteen members of the Tole- dos crew, were transferred to the Coast Guard cutter with little diff culty despite the rough waters. But the last six, including Captain George Kay i. of Philadelphia, had to be Literally dragged. through the water to save them from death.
 The 1800-ton dredger, with a re- placement value of close to $1,O00,- 900, was enroute. in two of the Boston Tug Clara Doane, from Boston to Lynn when 1t sank. The Toledo was to have participated in ceremonies marking the opening of a million-dollar dredging pro- ject in Lynn Harbor today.
 The dredger. bucking high seas kicked up by storms far off the New England coast, had reached a point near Finn's Ledge buoy, four miles off Bass Point, when huge waves swept over her.
 Captain Kay and his men strove desperately to keep an even course but the sea waters poured through the cable holes and the hull filled quickly.
 Finally 1t became apparent that the Toledo was doomed. Captain Kay signalled to the tug, which
