ALFRED E. SMITH WILL PAY VISIT
 TO PRESIDENT
He and John J. RaskOb Will Visit White House
 Late To-day

Washington. November 14.- (UP)-Alfred E.. Smith planned to visit President Roosevelt at the White House today. He came to Washington to attend a meeting of the board of trustees of Catholic university to which he was elected last spring.
 Scheduled to accompany the former New York governor to the White House was John J. Raskob, former democratic national chair man.
 The White House announced to- day that Smith and Raskob would see the president at 5:15 D. m., and again described the impending cal! as simply a friendly social one. Dr Raymond P. Sullivan of St Vim cents hospital. New York, will ac- company the two party figures.
 John F. Curry. leader of Tam many Hall, was in the capital last night, but denied he would join ir the White House conference. Curry also denied he had made any peace | overtures to Postmaster Genera Farley, on possible peace treaty | between New York democratic DO litical factions.
 | A. possible coalition of the Roos evelt- Farley and Smith factions il | New York was believed by observ CTS to be the subject to be discussed l by Smith and Raskob with MI Roosevelt.
 Both factions seek to ouSt Curry who is reported to be furious al Smith for staying out of the recent municipal campaign, and eauall, angry at Farley for partly backing the recovery party candidacy O! Joseph V. Mckee.
 Farley explained his course was due to his opposition to the Curry leadership. Smith always has been dissatisfied with Curry. and q pos sible unification of the Curry op- ponents might be deemed desirable for the elections of next year and 1886.
 The possibility that Smith and the president might discuss patron age matters was seen in the fact that the resignation of George z Medalie, republican, as United States attorney for the southern district of New York. become effec- tive next Tuesday.

 About Nazi Activities Here

Washington Nov. 14.-UP).- The house immigration committed investigation into alleged Nazi ac- tivities in the United States opened today in circumstances as ,mySteri- ous as those of the purported propaganda plots under inquiry.

Chairman Dickstein of the committee which has under taken the inquiry at it's own initia- tive, explained that the witness had agreed to testify only on con- dition that his identity be kept se- cret.
 MT x" presented what purport- ed to be a photostatic copy of a letter addressed by Nazi agents in New York to their superiors in Ber- lin.
 The letter suggested plans for smuggling agents into this coun- try and commented at one point that .it is childs play to make, gooG anti-Semetics out of, Americans, The witness said the original of tho letter had been interpreted ant was now in the possession of the city editor of the Daily Worker communist paper published in New York. Committee members said the editor would bring the letter to Washington later.
 ''Mr K" said the later bore the signature of W. H. Haag, whom he described as vice-president of an organization called "Friends of the new Germany" with headquarters in New York.
 He described Haag as the chief aide to Heinz Spanknoebel, alleged Nazi propaganda agent whose whereabouts have not been known since his indictment last week by a New York grand jury.
 The witness said that Haag and approximately 75 per cent of Nazi mem bers in this country were aliens. He charged that propa- ganda agents came to this country in the guise of sailors and then deserted their ships in New York. He said that sometimes arrange ments were made in New York to have other persons take their places on the boards.

Mayor McLevy Prepared to Slash and Drop Many
 City Hall Offices

Bridgeport, Conn. Nov 14-(UP) Patronage jobs and overlapping city offices to-day began to feel the squeeze Of Mayor Jasper Me- Levy's determination to enforce economy and bring the city, verg- ing on bankruptcy, out of the red.
 The city's first socialist eXecu- tive, who yesterday gave an in augural dinner to his successful party associates in lunch wagon, to-day had before him a list of jobs which. if vacated would mean a saving of at least $46,230 a year. The eliminations overlook no de- partment, from the assistant city hall janitor at $1,560 year to the assistant city attorney, who re- ceives $5.000 salary and an addi- tional $2,060 for office rent and salary of a stenographer.
 McLevy already has blue-pen- cilled the 5000 q year job of per- senal secretary to the mayor, con sidered one of the choicest plums The expensive limousine of his predecessor, chauffeured by a po- liceman with two brother officers in attendance "A hours a day, has

 MUCH MARRIED

 Wed Twice

Barnstable. Mass, Nov 14-(U, P.)-"Miss'' Lettie Chase. IS, of Harwich. who died several months ago, always was regarded by her Cape Cod neighbors as a retiring spinster.

This romance was short-lived, it is contended, and then she married Lemuel Mill lett of Athol, the village black smith. Subsequently she returned to Harwich and took up her old life.

agricultural adjustment admins tration.
 Most prominent among Ford's men are Major c. w. Dunning, deputy director of processing and marketing in the AAA, and George Carlson, chief of licens- ing and enforcement.
 For ten years Carlson was FOrd's agent in Vienna. Dunning was his assistant. When high tariffs ruined FOrd's Austrian business, both men got out. Major Dunning was a great Hoover booster, went to the re- publican convention in Chicago as a Hoover delegate.
 With Roosevelt's election he got a job under the New Deal, immediately hired as his subor- dinate, his ex-chief Carlson. POWER INVESTIGATION
 The tactics of southern power interests in resisting the Ten nessee valley authority have aroused President Roosevelt.
 At his direction the federal trade commission sent a secret investigator into the region to inquire into power activities. He was under orders to report on a charge that the corporations spent $50,000 in a recent Bir- mingham, Ala, election to defeat a municipal power proposal.

cept, but what is in the best in- terest of the public.
 ON THE SPOT
 Big Jim Farley is on the spot.
 Holy Joe McKee's defeat in the New York mayoralty race has sadly impaired Jim's repu- tation as political manipulator. Of course, if Mckee had won, Jim would be receiving acclaim as willy strategist.
 But Mckee did not win, and certain of the presidents advis- CTS, who opposed Farley's meddling in the New York situ- ation, are urging that a curb be put on his political operations. According to them, Jim has been doing some quiet intriguing in California and Wisconsin and they want him called Off on the ground that if he is not he will pile up a lot of needless trouble for the president among the progressives, with whom Farley has never been popular.

 "Yes. we used dunmy candi- dates" said Long, but so did the other side. Broussard would have been licked anyway as he has no personal following in the state. The people who voted for him were against me-"
 Discussing patronage, Long said: ::
 We gave jobs to the people who supported us.. We practice politics in Louisiana like they doevery place else. The jobs go to our friends.
 "But dozen patronage voters aren't worth one farmer vote. Every time we gave one man job we made ten enemies. I wish we didn't have any patronage at all.

$75O,OOO HAS
 BEEN SETTLED ON
 TEMPORARY LOAN
That Sum Was Paid Yes= terday to the Bank
 of Manhattan

Waterbury's temporary loans were cut $750,000 yesterday after noon. This amount was paid to the Bank of Manhattan company, New York. in the form of a check from Controller Daniel J. Leary. The entire floating indebtedness will be completely wiped out a week from to-day when the remaining tempo rary loans on the books of the city are retired. They amount to $500,000.
 This will leave the, city owing not a cent on temporary loans and presents very good financial pie ture, one that, it is believed, no other large municipality in the state can boast of at the present time.
 Of course, later in the year the city will make negotiations for a temporary loan in anticipation of the May 1894 taxes. This loan is in the usual course of business.

DAVID W. WILSON MAY BE SLATED
 FOR JUDCESHIP
He May Get Appointment on District Court of
 New York State

Democratic State Chairman Da- vid A. Wilson is to be offered a place on the bench of the United States district court by President Roosevelt to make up for his fail- ure to appoint him federal district attorney for Connecticut, according to well founded reports from Washington, D. c. Sunday the president appointed Senator. FranE Bergin of New Haven district at torney for this state, thereby turn ing down State Chairman Wilson
 It was immediately feared that United States Senator Augustine Lonergan of Hartford, who backed Wilson for the post, would oppose confirmation of Senator Bergin at the next session of congress. Now, with Chairman Wilson to be of fered berth on the federal court bench no such opposition is ex- pected.
 It was felt yesterday, when the appointment of Senator Bergin was announced in the press, that some sort of compromise had been reached on the question of where to place Chairman Wilson and thus satisfy Senator Lonergan. It is a well known fact that the appointment of the district attor- ney was held up from ->last April due to the inability of the Wash ington officials to decide on place for Chairman Wilson. The "new guard" was insistent that Sena- tor Bergin be given the district attorneys post. This place pays $6,OO0, annually. That of federal district court judge pays $12,000 annually. The district attorney S job depends on which party is in power. Very seldom are judges removed from the federal court bench due to politics. They gen.

WOMEN WILL BE
 GIVEN RELIEF IN
 MATTER OF JOBS
Hundreds of Thousands of Them Are JObless and
 Need Aid
BY DUANE WILSON
(CopyrIgrt 1888 by United Press


 Washington, November IA (UP)-The federal emergency relief organization to-day extended helping hand to hundreds of thousands of unemployed women and girls throughout the nation.
 The attack on unemployment among women was two-sided:
 1.-The establishment of "resi- dent schools" where girls and women will receive food. shelter and clothing while l earning new trades or professions.
 2-The creation of thousands of jobs in federal, state and munich pal institutions, financed from $400, 0,000,000 recently allotted to the civil works administration by the public works organization.
 Heretofore little has been done to relieve conditions among un- employed women, Regular relief funds were available to those in dire need, but plans to create jobs for women and girls were shunted aside in the battle to give work to the heads of families on relief rolls.
 Situation Is Acute
 Meanwhile the situation became Increasingly acute. It was esti- mated there were between 00,00C and 100000 women in the na. tion without jobs.

GOVERNOR CROSS WAS ATTACKED

Stratford, Nov 14-(UP)-Fail- ure of Governor Cross to provide for paving of the entire 3S miles of the Merritt highway was attack ed last night by Judge J. Kenneth Bradley in an address before the Stratford Women's Republican as- sociation.
 Governor Cross, Judge Bradley said, had tried to put the blame for delays on the republicans of the county, but in doing so was only camouflaging the real causes. Judge Bradley advocated the high way be built with aid from the federal public works fund. It could be maintained, he said, by toll charges Governor Cross is opposed to toll highway.

SECRETARY FOR

Accuses Irish Free State of Seeking to Repudiate
 Treaty of 1921

London. Nov 14-(UP)-James Fl. Thomas, secretary for the dom- inions, today accused the Irish Free State of seeking to repudiate the Anglo-Irish treaty of 1921, and warned that If she renounces her responsibilities as a member of the commonwealth, she cannot hope to enjoy the benefits and privileges thereof"
 Thomas. speaking in the house of commons, said that the govern ment considers Eamonn De Val era's recent measures affecting the rights of the British crown in the Free State, repudiation of the treaty.
 The real significance of three bills now before the Dail, he de- clared, was "clearly 10 indicate the Free States intention gradually to eliminate the crown from it's con- stitution.''
 No modification of the treaty. he said, could properly be made ex- cept by common agreement. The imperial conference declara- | ton of 1926, Thomas said, estab- fishing the relations of the domin- (Confjni1ed on Pare Al

NO SCHOOL CLERK
 IS REQUIRED BY
 CHARTER OF CITY
Provisions Say a Clerk May Be Named, But
 Doesn't Demand It

Following perusal of the city charter, it appeared very unlikely to-day that the board of finance, in making up the 1894 budget would set up an item to take care of the salary of clerk of the board of edu- cation beyond the $1 annual pay for Supt of Schools Thomas J. Condon, as recommended yester- day to the school board by Mayor Frank Hayes. Although certain republican members of the board of education questioned the legality of not appointing a clerk of the school board, a study of the char ter showed that it states that the commissioners may appoint @ clerk.
 In other words, the naming of a cl.rk for the board is not obli- gatory. The charter does not say "shali", which would represent a board the right of choosing for itself through the use of the word may.
 Need Never Have Clerk
 "The school board need never have clerk If the commissioners do not choose to name one." stated Mayor Hayes today. The mayors action in recommending that the school departments expenses be cut by eliminating the procedure of naming a new clerk and by hav- ing School Superintendent Condor do the work at a nominal salary oi ls1. yearly. received much favorable comment throughout the city bl property owners anxious to see tht tax rate cut. Of course. the taxe: cannot be cut unless the cost o1 running the city government is re- duced, it was pointed out by many property owners.
