AWAIT HOOVER
PLAN TO SLASH
U. S. EXPENSES
Congress Expects Him to
Tell How to Balance
BUDGET.

By Scripps-HovGrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON. June 15.-Presi-
dent Hoover intends to tell con-
gress how it may save enough out
OF current expenses to balance the
budget, it is understood at the
Capitol today.
When the President called
group of Republicans to the White
House Saturday night and told
them more economies must be made
he did not submit specific sugges-
tions, according to those present.
He has not done so since the
economy committee Of the house
met with him in April. and heard
his demand for the furlough plan
and for blanket authority to re-
organize departments and transfer
funds from one use to another.
Expects New Message
However, senate leaders received
word that Mr.. Hoover had no OBJ
lection to passage of a resolution
offered by Democratic Leader Rob-
inson, asking the President to rec
ommend specific economics to con-
gres. The resolution Immediately
was passed.
AS a result congress is expecting
new message from the President
on the subject of economy.
Savings must be made, If at all,
in the navy, independent offices,
and treasury and postofice ap-
preparation bills still pending. The
economy bill is in conference and
no new measures, not adopted by
one house Of congress, can be in
serted at this time.
Huge Cut Needed
In order to achieve a balanced
budget, on the basis of revenue
estimates made at the time the tax
bill was passed, between $l30,000,000
and $180,000000 more must be pared
from the current expenses of the
government, already cut $742,566, 445
under expenditures for 1882, ex-
elusive of recent emergency APP
preparations.
Congress, having refused to econ
omize on veterans expenditures or
prohibition enforcement, almost is
at the end of its resources.
1t has only three possibilities I'M
der consideration, drastic cuts in
the navy, elimination of all ship
and airmail subsidies, and agree
ment to finance all public works
expenditures in 1888 by government |
bonds instead of current revenues.

FRANK STEELE SENT TO BROOKSIDE Accused of Begging Coin at Funeral Homes and
 Other Places | AN OLD OFFENDER

"It's just an old European cus- tom. I have seen it worked several times," commented Prosecuting Attorney Emil Hummel to-day on the case of Frank Steele, 65, of no certain address, who was charged in police court with be- ing 8 vagrant.
 Steele was accused of soliciting handling. Patrolman Walter Overton detected him begging aims from very fashionably dressed woman seated in a luxurious car parked in front of the Union Sta tion.
 Sergeant John F. Brickel and other policemen furnished the in- formation that Steele has been in the habit of visiting funeral homes and approaching mourners or friends as they called to pay their respects or were waiting their turn in the funeral procession. He has met with considerable success lately. This morning however, he was given 30 days at Brookside. Officer Overton was unable to an- swer the query as to whether Steele begged the money or ob- tained a "loan".
 "It's common thing in Europe for panhandlers to wait outside of cemeteries and rush to mourners and beg money" remarked Prose- cutting Attorney Hummel, "but Steele is the first one know of in Waterbury to try the funeral homes.' .a&

Dream Robbery
 Ends In Court
of $25l Admits Yarn Fake and Companion Held Under $500 Bonds

One of those "perfect" stories, in fact too perfect in details to he convincing. proved the undoing last evening of the victim of a supp posed daring holdup. An hour af- ter William French, IT, of Wolcott complained of having been waylaid and robbed. of $251.29 he confessed that the robbery was .'faked''. He later assisted in recovering the money owned by his employed, Nicholas DeSantis, manager of a chain store on East Main street. Through French,s cooperation his accomplice, John zastko, IS. of 30 Abbott avenue was also arrested Both youths were arraigned in court this morning on the charge of theft and had their cases con- tinued under bonds of $500 each until Saturday morning.
 For nearly an hour last evening French clung very determinedly to his original story that he had been waylaid on Mill street by two men, bound and gagged, robbed of his money, and abandoned.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1932-11-03

The young man gave a descrip- ton of the two men who over~ powered him and tied him up with part of a clothes line. He was found by a woman resident of Mill street and liberated. Very excited ly he called the police and told his story. For 8 few minutes the of ficers believed him. His employer vouched for his honesty and stated that he had trusted him time and again with large sums of money. The more Sergeant Henry Johnson and Detective Edward McElligott questioned the youth the more sus- picious they became. French be- came exteremely nervous, contra dicted himself several times in re- beating the details of the holdup and finally decided to tell the truth.
 French took the two officers to Q local theater and pointed out Zastko, who was enjoying himself watching a featured attraction. Zastko had the missing $251.29 in his possession and turned 1t over to the police without any protest.

REV MIR GILBERT
 ISSUES STATEMENT
Gives Hearty Endorsement of Wm M.. CitrOn, Can-
 didate for Congress
AT MIDDLETOWN
fspeciaI to the Democratl

Middletown, Nov 3-The unsel- fish services rendered the needy by William M. Citron, democratic candidate for congressman-at-lar were emphasized in a statement issued to-day by the Rev George A. Gilbert, Episcopal missionary in Middlesex county. The Rev Mir Gilbert spoke strongly in favor of Mir Citron's candidacy, describing him as the right sort of man to represent the common peo- ple in that 'millionaires' club in Washington"
 ''Mr Citron Is truly self-made man," declared the missionary. After working his way through Wesleyan college, he served in the World war and then worked his way through the Harvard law school. His own struggles for an education have brought him an understanding heart, which has brought him great sympathy for the needy.
 Several years ago. disgusted with conditions in Middletown, I took upon myself the responsibil- ity of calling a town meeting and hiring the town hall for that pur- pose. The hall was crowded and when the meeting was over two men out of all those present came forward and declared that they felt was right and that they would do everything within their power to help the cause. These men had everything to lose and nothing to win by that advocacy of this cause. But they dared every thing for what they thought was right. One of these men was MT Citron and the other the man who is now Mayor Bielefield. The lat ter was treasurer of the Taxpay- ers' league which we then formed and MT Citron was secretary. This league continued for many years and effected great reforms in our civic affairs.
 Since then MT Citron and I have been close friends and I have found him ready to aid the needy, both with his legal services and financial aid. I am making this ,

WAKE UP YOUR.
 LIVER BILE WITHOUT CAL0MEL And You'll Jump Out of Bed in
 the Morning Karin to Go

If you feel sour and sunk and the world looks punk, don't swallow lot of saltss mineral water, oil, laxative candy or chewing gum and expect them to make you suddenly sweet and buoyant and full of sunshine.
 For they can't do 1t. They only move the bowels and mere movement doesn't get at the cause. The reason for your down-and-out feeling is your liver. It should pour out two pounds of liquid bile into your bowels daily. If this bile is not flowing freely, your food doesn't digest. It just decays in the bowels. Gas bloats up your stomach. You have . thick, bad taste and your breath is foul, skin often breaks out in blemishes: Your head aches and you feel down and out. Your whole system is poisoned.
 It takes those good, old CAMPERS LITTLE LIVER PILLS to get these two pounds of bile flowing freely and make you feel ''up and up.' They contain wonderful. harmless, gentle vegetable extracts. amazing when 1t comes to making the bile flow freely. But don't ask for liver pills. Ask for Carter's Little Liver Pills. Look for the name Carter's Little Liver. Pills on the red label. Resent substitute. 25c6t all stofes. @ 1881 c. M. Co.
