 Meeting Yesterday

Louis s. Fitch, manager of the Waterbury Association of Credit Men and Better Business Bureau, spoke before tn eHarftord Rotary club yesterday noon at the Hotel Bond Hartford, on "A New Deal for Debtors"
 Too often, he asserted, credit service is considered just another racket, whereas 1t should be con- sidered the highest type of service. Asserting that financial troubles were the cause of many cases of mental disorder, Immortality and broken families, he said credit counsellors were faced with the problem of purging their profes- sion of quacks as physicians were 100 years ago. Stating that his faith in human nature had beer strengthened by years of expert ence as a collector, he said 95 out of 100 persons in debt honestly in- tended to pay and that about half of these needed guidance in theri financial affairs.

IBLAKESLEE COCOLDI
 STORAGE PLANT.
One of Finest of Its Kind in New England
 States
AT 75 FIELD STREET

The new certified cold storage plant of the Blakeslee company at 75 Field street is one of the finest establishments of its kind in New England. Yesterday and today scores visited the building and after critically inspecting its modern facilities expressed admiration for the protective features placed at the disposal of Waterburians and others. The storage especially adapted for furs includes protec- ton against moths, fire, theft and loss. A huge bank vault door safeguards the only entrance to the depository. The interior with its racks, inner doors, gates, and frames are made of galvanized Iron. The walls, doors and ceilings are of concrete.
 The Blakeslee company has ex- tended an invitation to the public to visit the new plant during the present week. Attendants will be on hand a. m. to 9 D. m. to escort visitors about the place and to an- swer all inquiries. In addition to the accommodations for furs, com- parmtents are available for storing clothing, rugs. draperies, silver ware and other articles.
 The cold storage plant Is cleo trically controlled. An arctic tenn perature will make the threat of the moth impossible, and at the same time the beauty of the furs stored will be preserved. From the time an article leaves it's owner s hands until returned it is fully pro- tected by insurance.
 The new establishment only a few yards from the State Armory on Field street will be inspected by thousands before the week is concluded.

 opinions and suggestions to get the world out of its present difficulties. He may prove the leader who is
 needed to take the world out of this economic chaos."

RULED VITAL

NEW YORK, April % G.N.S0.
An immediate operation to re-
move the left eye of pretty 2-year-
old Helen Vasko is necessary in
order to save her life, it was
decided today by three eye spe-
cialists.
The specialists, who examined
Helen at the Columbia Presby-
terian Medical Center in New
York city, thus confirmed the
earlier diagnosis Of DR.. Angelo
j. Smith and other specialists.
Before the Appellate Court up
held a ruling of the Westchester
children's court ordering an i'm
mediate operation for the child,
the parents Of the baby had
fought against an operation.
They had declared that they
would rather see their daughter
dead than disfigured.
Francis r. Fay, guardian ad
Item for the child and counsel
for her parents, said he expected
to visit Mr.. and Mrs. John Vasko,
parents of Helen, some time to-
day and acquait them with the
report of the three specialists.

Jumping from an abutment
at the Virginia end Of Key
Bridge q few feet to . river
side path below, a young woman
caused a witness some distance
away, who saw only her head
over the bridge railing, to be-
lieve she had leaped into the
Potomac.
The witness rushed to the
end of the bridge and seeing no
sign Of the woman, called
police.
Searchers later found other
witnesses who said the young
woman walked underneath the
bridge and along the river bank.
It was the fourth call within
recent months that police have
received concerning people who
jumped to the bank at the same
spot and were thought by per-
sons some distance away to
have jumped into the water.

block, headed by Senators Wheeler
Cd Of Montana and King CD
Of Utah, who demanded that sill

as gold.
BY giving the President power
only to change the gold content
through international agreement,
a like concession could be given
the silver bloc without provoking
the opposition that developed
against reconciliation of silver in
this country alone. Such a step,
however, would not satisfy the sill
yer leaders.
Roosevelt for Speed
President Roosevelt advised Ad-
ministration leaders he wished
prompt enactment of the cur
rency bill in order to be better pre-
pared to conduct negotiations with
foreign representatives.
The President said he was ready
to assume the tremendous none
tary responsibilities proposed in
the modified bill.
Under its latest terms, he would
be empowered to use the Federal
Reserve System for expanding and
contracting the currency. to is
sue So, ,00O, 100000 in United States
notes in expanding the currency,
to romonetize silver at any ratio
he deemed fair. and to reduce the
gold content Of the dollar not to
exceed so per cent.
Opposition to the bill was mill
tant, but numerically weak. It
came almost exclusively from Re.
publicanS.
Silver Move BY Wheeler
The silver amendment was in
troduced by Senator Wheeler
whose motion to remonetize silver
at a 16 to l ratio was barely beaten
earlier in the week and led to i'm
mediate presentation of the infla-
ton program by the AdminiStra-

The President would be author
lied to remonetize silver at any
ratio he saw fit to stabilize do
mestic prices or protect Ameri-
can commerce against deprecated
foreign currencies.
After authorizing the President
to reduce the gold content of the
dollar, the amendment read:
"And also to fix the weight
Of the silver dollar in grains
ine-tenths fine at a definite
fixed ratio to the gold dollar at
such amounts as he finds neceS-
sary from his investigation to
stabilize domestic prices or to
protect the foreign commerce
against the adverse effect of de-
preciated foreign currencies and
20 provide for the unlimited
coinage Of such gold and silver

It appeared the farm bill, to
which the expansion bill was at
tached, would pass the Senate by

Given Clear View Of Reason
for Dropping Gold Base

The United States today in
formed Europe through its en-
bassies in the principal capitals
of the old world, that this Gov
ernment's action in abandoning
the gold standard and seeking
inflationary measures were not
a step in international contest
or conflict"
In a circular telegram sent to
the American embassies in Lon
don, Berlin, Paris, and Rome,
Secretary of State Hull advised
the ambassadors that the step
was required by circumstances
and designed to enable us in
this country ID work out an i'm
provement in prices" rather
than to secure a weapon for the
world economic conference.
Prompted by View
Hull said:
"The ultimate aim is to Gre
ate a price condition under
which the world can again be
prosperous and not to seek to
any special American advan-
tage."
Although the State Department
did not actually instruct the
American ENJOYS to convey this
message to the governments OF
the capitals in which they were
stationed, it was admitted the
diplomatic representatives were
expected to do so.
Hull'S message, dispatched late
yesterday, was prompted by the
reaction in Europe to the sud-
den abandonment of the gold
standard and endorsement Of
currency initiation by President
Roosevelt while Premier MacDon-
aid and former Premier Herriot,
of France, were both on the
Atlantic en- route here.
