 WET MEASURES
Indorsed By Four of the Leading Italian Soci=
 cites in Waterbury
FAVOR BEER AND WINE

Four of the city's leading Italian fraternal organizations have for warded resolutions to Washington, D. C., supporting the wet measures introduced in congress by Con- gressman E. w. Goss and United States Senator Hiram Bingham, 1t was learned this morning. The four organizations met at various times during the past week and adopted the resolutions which have already been received in Washing ton.
 The societies adopting resolu- tions included Loggia Province D. Avelino, No 309, of the Sons of Italy, Loggla D' Italia, No 66, of the Sons of italy, Court Giuseppe Verdi. Foresters of America, and the Civilita del Progresso.
 These resolutions will be filed with the special committee of congress which Is hearing argu- ments on the Goss- Bingham wet bills. Other organizations through out Connecticut are expected to follow the example of the local societies and lodges so that a formidable array of support of the wet measures will be available for perusal on the part of the con gressional committee.
 Hearings on the wet bills have been going on for some time, now, and from all parts of the country resolutions are pouring into Wash ington. some supporting the meas ures and others attacking them
 The Goss- Bingham bills would permit beer and wines and would allow physicians to prescribe malt whiskies for medicinal use. Wa terbury sentiment is overwhelm- ingly in favor of the GOss- Bing- nam bills, according to opinions expressed on all sides and q similar condition is being found in hun dreds of cities throughout the country.

ROBERT E. BIRT
 AT BROOKLYN Y
Gave Hearers First Hand Information on Experi=
 ence of American Spy
IN THE WORLD WAR

Thrilling experiences of an American Spy who wore alter nately French uniform and a German uniform were related by Robert F. Birt at a lobby forum in the Brooklyn Y. M. c. A. last night. Nearly 200 boys and young men listened with amazement to various escapades of which the speaker finally succeeded in escap- ing. Birt who Is the commander of the Coroparl Coyle Post of the American Legion was one of the first Americans to go over seas during the World War. He was one of group of about S5 men who went over to be placed in the French Army for secret service work. Perhaps the bitterest ex- perience for Commander Birt was the time when he was found lying seriously wounded by American troops. They placed him upon a strUtcher and were about to take him to the hospital when they discovered he had on Fernch uniform. So they threw him off the stretcher and left him there for the French to rescue later on. bllL Was SWOTH tO secrecy coHCeTH- ing the fact that he was an Amer ican even though he was in French uniform. Therefore, he could not tell his fellow Americans who he was or why he was in French uni form.
 Charles Doescher member of the committee of management of the Brooklyn Y. M. c. A. branch in- troduced the speaker and took charge of the question period which followed the talk. Next Tuesday night Carl Goodwin will talk on England, India and Gandhi."

the bonds outstanding against the city and brings the January total of payments up to over the half million dollar mark.
 Controller Leary stated to-day, when interviewed. that Waterbury is one of the few large New Eng land cities which has not defaulted on It's bonded interest and redemp- tion payments this fall At the same time, he pointed out. the large check of $301,000 sent out to-day cuts down greatly the city s ready cash. He expressed the opin- ion that before the May installment of taxes comes in another tenn porary loan will be necessary to keep the citys business going.
 The payments in interest and re- demption this month amounting to over $5O0.00O does much, though, to strengthen the city's credit as 1t reduces the municipal bonded debt considerably. Therefore, when the time comes when another tenn porary loan is necessary Water bury Is expected to be accorded as much cooperation as possible by the banking institutions.
 Controller Leary stated that the temporary loans are needed at this time in such heavy amounts be- cause of the payment of taxes. There is almost $2.O00,00O in back taxes not collected, he declared. This amaunt involves not only the 1881 taxes but non- payments on levies of previous years. Steps are now being taken by Tax Collector William A. Ennis and City Sheriff William J. Roach to force this money in.
 In the meantime, in order to make matters as easy as possible for persons who are behind in their taxes, through no fault of their own, installment paymens On bills is to be allowed by the city. Many large taxpayers have property on which they are finding 1t hard to collect rents. They, therefore, are handicapped in paying the city tax es. With monthly installments per mitted it is believed these persons will be aided and at the same time the back tax bills the city holds will be gradually cut down in n mount

 He pleaded guilty to the charge and Assistant States Attorney Will liam B. Fitzgerald related the case. He said the accused was on pro- bation at the time. Attorney Gager said the youth had read in the newspapers of the open manner in which slot machines and policy had been running in the city and felt 1t would not be wrong to go to the place where he had lost con- siderable money in the machines to try to get it back.
 Judge Pcasley said the youths record was bad and imposed the reformatory sentence.

Seven Who Backed McFadden
Attacked by Whole Country

ton Of addlepates therein Is less than
8 to S35 II Is q most extraordinary
house" The Roanoke Times agrees
that "the House did well to squelch
Representative McFadden Immediately
and overwhelmingly"
Reviewing the incident, the Fort
Worth Star-Telegram declares: The
greatest offense of the Hoover admin
iStration has been in giving the Nation
four years Of Republican rule at time
when three Of those four years proved
to be the most disastrous In history for
the practice Of Republican party prin-
ciples. If person is entitled to pun
ishment for finding himself bound to q
chariot wheel, then perhaps the eight
militant Representatives were super
patriots. It Is matter Of considerable
praise for the involved human nature
that the remainder Of the House Of
Representatives personnel belieVe in the
Salvation Army slogan"
while by digging up the old score"
thinks the Akron Beacon Journal, "Mr.
McFadden has demonstrated that he
has implicit faith in the integrity of his
convictions, the country will doubt the
putty Oh lIlc COURSE Ile CIlOSc 10 give
effect to them. The late election, by
the defeat Of President Hoover, nulli-
ned whatever understanding he might
have had with Old World diplomats
touching reconsideration Of the debts.
Since the question Is now wholly within
the disposition of Congress. where it be-
longs, 1t is not surprising that the Nc
Fadden resolution Of worse than censure
was so swiftly defeated"
As to the political principles involved
in the proceedings, the Minneapolis
Journal offers the explanation; Had
the Founding Fathers desired TO erect
q government whose executive head
could be deposed under the parlia-
mentary systems in vogue in Europe,
the Founding Fathers doubtless would
have 80 shaped the Constitution. But
they particularly wanted to keep the
legislative and executive branches sepa-
rate and to protect each from the other.
The Presidents authority comes not
from Congress but directly from the
people. The people themselves have
recalled Mr.. Hoover, effective next
March. Such abuse of the impeach-
ment power as was proposed by Repre-
sentative McFadden would substitute
for the popular will the will OF a con-
gressional Praetortan Guard, ready to
effect the political assassination Of any
President not to its liking"

Suggestions Regarding
A Well Balanced Diet

To the Editor Of The Star:
Habits of taste raise a high barrier
to adoption Of any correct diet. The
low cost diets suggested In The Sunday
Star of December 18 are generally well
balanced. but. according to custom, too
much emphasis is placed on bread and
-four
White bread lacks most Of the nat
ural food qualities Of whole wheat, and
most bakers bread is too expensive for
the food value contained to be included
in any low-coSt diet. Boiled whole
wheat provides a variety Of food ele-
ments at about one-f1fth the cost Of
bread.
It is also a mistake to serve bread or
starchy foods at every meal. While
digestions vary. every one can expect
more or less trouble from indiscrimi-
nate mixtures, as well as from unbal-
anced diet In general, bread. potatoes
and all starch should be left out OF one
meal each day. Meat. fish and eggs
should be served with non-starchy
vegetables and not with bread or pota-
toes for complete comfort.
