STATE SAVINGS
 BANKS STRONG
Decline to Assume Risk in Guaranteeing Deposits
 of Others

New London, Conn, Dec 0 The mutual savings banxs of Connecti- cut will enter 1894 in strong. liquid position, and expect to carry on their conservative policies of more than century, according to Charles E. White. president of the Savings Banks Association of Connecticut and the Savings Bank of New London.
 Conditions at the year end are
 distinctly improved and promise
 well for savings in the new year."
 he said. Mutual institutions of
 the state, which hold about 60 per
 cent of Connecticut bank deposits,
 report a generally favorable out
 look. It is cause for satisfaction
 that the states savings bank de-
 posits. the property of six-tenths
 of the population. were maintained
 at such a high level in 8 year of
 disturbance. This fact reflects
 the steady resistance of savings bank depositors to the difficulties of the times and holds forth sound reasons for confidence in the new year. OOHHtCllCut SAVAHSS UdAhS hAv v decided not to participate. for the present in the guarantee of acc counts held by other institutions
 such as national banks, state banks and trust companies. We believe that the possible losses from such
 plan outweigh any benefits that i could accrue to our depositors, based upon the experience of 114 years. Similar plans in other states
 have failed to accomplish the pur- poses for which they were estab- l lished. Upon the contrary, | throughout four and half years ] of deAation and imitation, every de- positor in a Connecticut savings bank has kept his capital intact I In all of that period the accuniu- | lated savings of more than 1,00O,. | 900 depositors have been profitably l employed for their benefit alone Compared to this record we know l that billions of dollars were in. voived in the suspension of othef | banks.

 There was terrifying explosion "a bomb thrown by Constantine escu. Vlashide and Costinescu staggered, struck by splinters.
 Constantinescu walked steadily up to Duca. He placed a hand on Duca's shoulder and fired four shots into his head and body.
 Duca wheeled toward the assas- sin as the second shot struck him. He raised his hat with his left hand, made the sign of the cross with his right and collapsed. blood pouring from his mouth because of Q shot in the lungs.
 Police nearby made for Constan- tinescu. Friends of the premier carried him into the stationmaster's s office. He died on the way.
 Shouts of anger rose as the crowd on the platform made for Constantinescu. Police fought off the would-be 1ynchers.
 T wanted only to free my coun- try" said the assassin.
 Taken to police headquarters he amplified his statement.
 T killed M. Duca in revenge for his order dissolving the Iron Guard" said Constantescu, "and also because I believed M. Duca was frcemason. did not act at the order of any political party"
 Police announced that they were seeking Johann Calimati, a coffee house keeper. and Johann Duru- benimaje, believing them to be ac- complices.
 All three were listed as members of the Iron Guard. which Duca and Carol outlawed few days before the recent election along with the Nazi-like Roumanian nationalist organization
 As soon as Carol learned oi Duca's assassination he ordered that the martyred premier's body be taken to the palace. to lie in state pending national funeral.

SWTTZ COUPLE
 TO MEET TO-DAY
Two Americans, Arrested as Spies in France, Are
 Under Guard

Paris, Dec. 30-(UP)-R. Cor don Switz, 29, and his wife, Mar jory, 22, Americans charged with complicity in gigantic espionage plot, stood under heavy guard in a hotel room today and kissed each other for the first time in II days. Tho kisses were by official permis- sion. The occasion was the formal opening of their papers in the room they used to occupy. A week ago they saw each other in court but were not permitted even to speak. Today the examining mag istrate. who has tried to be kind, not only permitted them to kiss but to talk. He specified French, however, and they talked in halt ing phrases, oblivious to police agents and officials.
 Somewhat encouraged by the concessions, beautiful young Mrs. Switz tried to cajole the judge into permitting her to take some clothes from her trunks but the police objected. Tho .affectionate greeting over. they watched calmly while police in accordance with rigid rules broke in their presence the seals placed on their room after their arrest. The police care- fully separated papers and opened accumulated mail. They kept many documents to study.
 Later they were taken to the American Express Company office in the opera district, where police opened their trunks in the presence of an official of the American con- sulate and lawyers. Tourists scram- bled for a glimpse of them, peer ing over the shoulders of guards surrounding them. Police were working on new angle, furnished by Finnish secret police. This was that Mime. Lydia Stahl, or Lydia Techkaloff, alleged to be the lead CT of the Paris section of the gang, might be linked with the death of Col F. s. w. Asplund, Finnish munitions manufacturer, in 1892.

CCC REGISTRATION
 BEGINS TUESDAY
N. E. Army Command to Register Thousands
 of Youths

Boston, Dec. 30--Major General Fox Conner, commanding general of the First Corps Area said that his command will undertake throughout the New England states commencing Tuesday, Q new en- rollment mission in connection with the Civilian Conservation Corps.
 General Conner said that the new enrolment mission, to be conclud- ed on January. 10, will have as its objective the filling of several thou sand vacancies in the corps result ing from various reasons, prin- cipa1ly because Q large number of youths and war veterans have left the corps to accept jobs back home.
 Each of the 125 companies at work on New England projects will be brought to full strength. Re- placements for the 88 junior" companies will be selected for en- rollment in the corps from unem- ployed youths living in the vicinity of the New England camps. Their selection will be made by state rep resehtatives of the U. $. labor de- partment. They will not, however, be sent to army conditioning or registration cehters but will be en- rolled directly at the c. c. C.. camps.
 Selection of war veterans in each of the six states will be made by regional managers of the U. s. Vet erans Administration who have designated MT Frank w. Coppinger of the Boston office as their rep- resentative. The war veterans will be concentrated at Fort Devens under Colonel AlbertsW. Foreman, 18th U. s. Infantry, who will have charge of their enrolment and their conditioning for work in the forests. War veterans residing in the vicinity of Montpelier, however, will be enrolled in the Conserva- ton Corps by Colonel Clement A. Trott, commanding the Sixth eco district with headquarters in that city.

Health Dept. Seeks
 To Rally "34" Forces
Declares Treless Efforts of Trained and Volunteer
 Workers Will Be Needed in War on Disease

If health is to be maintained (during the year 1934) it will re- .quire the tireless and united efforts of all trained and volunteer work ers," the State Department of Health said in the years last is- sue of it's monthly bulletin, distri- buted to-day. Tn the leading ar- ticle in this bulletin, the depart ment looks ahead to the problems of the new year and reviews those of the old.
 The article in part is as follows:
 "As the year comes to Q close and the economic depression shows only feeble signs of being routed, there Is evident a strengthening of forces in the rear to reinforce the first line of defenses of health week. Meeting the surprise attack of such an enemy four years ago called into play all the defensive efforts of the regular health forces in order to stem the tide of sick ness and death and prevent a gen. eral undermining of health.
 "A creditable amount of success has followed the efforts of these public health officials although LncIT uelcHSlV6 ll1l0 OSCA oAOWAy weakened in many places as a re- suit of the withdrawal of or re- fusal to supply needed forces to meet the attack. Weakening the efforts of such public health off, cials by a reduction of the staff and failure to provide the funds for protection of the public health has jeopardized the health of many people behind those broken lines. In spite of this, however, the re- duced forces have carried on with greater effort knowing as they did that failure to protect health would mean sicknes sand death.
 And the front lines have held. as shown by the health reports of the last two years, for 1893 in Con- necticut bids fair to exceed 1882 as a record low death year. While the regular health forces in the front line have accomplished this through their special training in acffuo hao1t1, xya If a and their

for 30 days from Jan. 1, the ef- fective date of the bankers code.
 Johnson's action was precipitatcd by the dispatch to banks ana clear ing houses of 0 standard" rules from which he claimed never to have seen until they were informal ly called to his attention by news paper articles. He ordered the rules suspended until specifically approved by myself in person" and cautioned that they must not go into effect in any region.
 The forms were distributed by the New York banking code com mittee apparently upon the i'm. pression given by the premature MIRA statement. This impression also was shared by Governor Black of the federal reserve board. who commented upon the desir- ability of uniform fair practice.
 Johnson telegraphed Frank w. Simonds, secretary of the code committee, last night and ordered the rules voided. He also instruct ed the American Bankers associa- tion to correct the idea that he had approved the provisions.
 Embodied in the proposed rules are schedules for service charges on small checking accounts. It is with these that the administrator is principally concerned.
 His reference was to his feeling that bank should not impose fees which would make the main- tenance of small drawing accounts unreasonably expensive to deposi- tors. The MIRA apparently is will ing, however, that service charges shall be sufficient to combat com petition from banks where such rates are little or nothing.
 The statement that any such standard rules have been approved by the administrator was absolute ly unauthorized. They have not yet even been submitted to the administrator" Johnson said.
