RECOVERY PLAN

The confidential files of the
Chase National Bank, as recorded
in the Senate banking inquiry, to-
day revealed the recovery" pro-
gram inaugurated by Winthrop w.
Aldrich after he supplanted Albert
II. Wiggin as its ruler.
The records disclosed that
Aldrich completely reversed the
policies of Wiggin in lending huge
sums of the banks money to stock
and bond syndicates, operating on
Wall Street.
Took S212, 900, 900 Loss
Where Wiggin extended lavish
credit to big shot" spectators,
Aldrich refused them any loans.
Where Wiggin lent large sums to
webbing corporations, Aldrich
called the loans and wrote off the
resulting losses.
The Aldrich recovery" program
included a liquidation of under
collateralized loans that Melted
the bank cash and paper loss Of
$212,000,000. He did the same
thing for it's affiliate, the Chase
Securities Corporation, with a net
cash and paper loss of $120,000,-

and affiliate on a cash" basis.
with all their outstanding loans
guarded by solid collateral.
Statistics Reveal Action
The action of Aldrich in out
having the type of syndicate loans
that Wiggin favored was revealed
in statistics filed by the bank with
the Senate committee. These
records showed Wiggin authorized
loans of $196, 100000 from the
banks money to syndicates, deal
ing in utility, railroad, industrial
and insurance stocks and bonds
from March 7, 1923, to July l,
1881. He averaged $4,9O0,000 for
every month of the 4O-month
period.
After Aldrich assumed direction
Of the bank, there were no such
loans. Instead. a few months
ago, he authorized loans to Syndi-
Gates dealing in the unemploy-
ment relief bonds of New York,
Maryland and Minnesota.
Wiggin Loans Costly
The banks records showed |
Wiggin authorized loans to syn
dicates in Lincoln Building, Gen
eral Theaters, Fox Film and Sea-
board Air Line stocks. All proved |
costly to the investing public.
He favored utility syndicates
and stocks such as Utilities

holders Corporation, New England |
Power Association, Washington
Power and Light. The high point
was reached in April and May,
1880, when $50, 592,O00 was loaned
such syndicates in 36 days-a rec
ord of $1,933,100 a day.
These loans totaled $184 900, 900
by January 7, 1881. Aldrich had
entered tire bank the preceding
June. IN April, 1881, he broke
with Wiggin over extending a
loan to Pynchon & Co.. private
bankers associated in the dis
astrous General Theaters and
Fox Film venture. Aldrich block
the extension and Pynchon & Co.
went in to bankruptcy.
Aldrich in Control
This clash marked change in
the banks policy. Aldrich forced
the calling of outstanding loans,
even when it forced the bank to
take loss. Eventually he
cleaned the slate. In May, 1882,
he was elected vice chairman of
the governing board, through the
aid of John D. Rockefeller, jr.,
at the end of 1882, Wiggin re-
tired and Aldrich became the sole
boss of the bank.

Two Courses to Be Limit at Luncheon Meetings
 Says Club President

The president of an association Of women's clubs threw panic into their ranks recently when she laid down strict rules about the lunch- cons for committee chairmen. Two courses she announced, would be the limit at all future affairs. These are to be business meetings, she reminded them, not spreads for high school sororities.
 At first her co-workers were dismayed. How could they serve attractive luncheons to their hard working-committe members if they were restricted to two paltry courses? But the president called a meeting of her officers at her house and showed them the way. Now they are all following her lead. and keen rivalry has devel- oped to see who can devise the most tempting and palatable brief lunchenos. Some of them have proved so good that the women declare that they will never serve more than two courses again. even if it Is a social affair, and not a preliminary to a business meet ing.

tion of roasting and stewing. The liquid used varies from Q very little to enough to completely cover the materials. The more liquid used, the more "stew-like" the dish. Most casserole dishes are "Scal- loped" or cooked in white sauce. Usually the mixtures are topped with crumbs and so often combin- ed with grated cheese that we have come to believe that Tau gratin" (with crumbs) really means with cheese"
 The French, as usual, are re- sponsible for casserole cooking, for they believe that the long slow cooking is conducive to flavor. This is true however only if the mix. ture is sufficiently savory and moist. Be sure to see that suffi- cient fat is present to keep the mixture from getting dry; pour liquid shortening over the ingre- dients if necessary.
 How to Keep Contents from
 Sticking to Sides.
 Casserole foods have the added advantage of being served right in the dish In which they were baked. This makes 1t even more important that the contents do not stick to
The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-01-17

the sides. To avoid sticking, make sure the baking dish Is well oiled before putting in the ingredients A pastry brush dipped in mazola and rubbed carefully on the Inner surface will take care of this. The new fiat-lldded casseroles are very attractive, the tops posing as extra baking dishes or used, when not too hot as tiles to protect tho dining table.
 Since many casserole dishes re- auire a white sauce, you. will want a recipe for one which gives q smooth product especially adapted to scalloped mixtures:
 White Sauce.
 2 tbsps. cornstarch
 1 tbsp. mazola
 4 tsp. salt
 Pepper
 Mix cornstarch, salt and pepper. Add mazola and milk and cook over slow fire, stirring constantly, about 6 minutes. Or, cook over hot water in o double boiler, stirr- ing constantly until thick and then about 1b minutes longer.

held on April 7, Edward Hoffman,
militant member, was arrested on
a framed-up charge of disorderly con-
duct. Hoffman was ready to prove
to the members that a wage reduc-
ton received by the members Of local
No SO, OF Cleveland, had resulted in
the wrecking of that local as a Labor
Union. He was further prepared TO
show that wage reduction for mem
bers of local No 3, New York, would
result in further deepening Of their
already great misery, misery which
is due to widespread and lengthy un-
employment To prevent this eX-
posure. the Union officials, with the
support of Tammany police, arrested
Hoffman. The arrest of Edward Hoff-
man, the barring of Joe Kronberger
and Joe Black, as well as many other
militant members, from entering the
meeting hall, together with the use
Of over so uniformed and plain
clothes cops inside and outside the
Union hall enabled the administra-
ton to finally succeed in forcing a
wage reduction upon the members OF
local Union No. 3.
On Thursday, April 10, at regu-
lar meeting Of the local, Alfred Ter
ry militant member of the union,

members, severely beaten, and ar
rested on a framed-up charge Of dis

Terry had protested against the ap-
pointment OF Burt Kirkman by
Breach as the chairman for local
union No. 3. Terry pointed out that
the procedure of appointment was
not to the best interests Of the menu
bers, and that the selection of a new
chairman when the old chairman re-
signs, should be done through spe-
cial election. This protest on the part
Of Terry resulted in his arrest by the
