D|VERSSTANDBY
SUNKEN SUB

CHERBOURG, France, July 9
dN.SJ.-Although nearly every
one had given up hope that life
still existed aboard the sunken
submarine Promethee. the Italian
salvage ship Artiglio II arrived to-
day and Immediately prepared to
send divers down to make a final
check.
Despite dangerous currents and
a dense fog the Artiglio crew
planned to descend and attempt
to feed air lines to any compart-
ments free from water.
The plans were laid under the
most pessimistic circumstances,
however, as the time during which
any of the seamen could have lived
without more oxygen expired at
midnight last night.
The Artiglio, which recently sal
vaged millions of dollars in gold
bullion from the sunken liner
Egypt, was forced to await low
tide before it could send any men
down to the Promethee, believed
to lie 235 feet below the surface.

 Japanese delegate Yusoke Ma tsuoka asked that the resolution be withdrawn.

SENATOR GLASS { BANKING BILL
 IS COMING UP
Was Introduced Last Ses- sion and This Time It Will Answer to Hoover Proposals
By LYLE c. WILSON

United Press Stan Corrcspondent)
 Washington. Dec S.-(UP)- President Hoover's plea for imme- diate reorganization of the nations banking system was answered to- day by democratic plans to enact drastic national bank and fed eral reserve reform bill.
 The measure may be reached in the senate next week. It Is spon- sored by Senator Glass, democrat, Va. and was introduced last ses- |, sion.
 The bill would smash some bank ing practices and modify others. Whether 1t meets MT Hoover's de- sires is not known. The president in his annual message said bank reorganization was essential to eco- homie recovery.
 Determined effort might force the bill through this short session despite powerful and bitter opposi- ton, Democrats considered 1t so important that 1t drew third place on their short session program. It was put ahead of prohibition re- peal. beer and the world court, which were last in that order in the legislative schedule approved yesterday by senate democrats.
 A parade of bankers denounced the bill last session before the sen- ate banking and currency commit tee. Their testimony was so near ly identical that someone had spon- sored might school" to coach the witnesses.

BENEFIT SALE AT

Articles Donated By Local Merchants to Be Con-
 verted Into Cash
AT MEETING TONIGHT

A benefit sale will be. held to- night at the Salvation. Army on Abbott avenue of new articles do- mated by several local merchants. the proceeds to be added to the Christmas fund. Ordinarily, these articles would not be disposed of until the latter part of January or early in February when the rec ceipts from the sales would be de- voted to a,w inter fund. but owing to the falling off of the kettle re- ceipts it was found necessary to take this step in order that the number of people who look to the Salvation Army for Christmas bas- kets will be taken care of. This shows that the management is bound to make the Christmas time as pleasant as possible for the needy families and trust to luck to be able to meet such conditions as may confront them later on during the winter season.
 one does not hear as much as usual about the work of the Sal- yation Army, but it is going on just the same. nd were 1t, not for the good officers of the Salvation Army, conditions would be worse in Waterbury than they are.
