 they are broken by the period he spent overseas during the World war. The bill before the commit tee on cities and boroughs would permit him to be exempted from the continuous service clause. Favorable action is expected.
 On the same day, of course, a series of bills affecting Water- bury's finances are up for consid- eration before the finance commit tee. They comprise several meas- ures introduced by Reps John D. Thoms and Daniel J. Mahaney of Waterbury. Some opposition to them is anticipated from the Wa terbury Property Owners league. Incidentally it's recording secre- tary, Edward UdelowitZ, was in Hartford to-day making inquiries at the Capitol as to the time of va- rioW committee hearings.
 The house to-day killed the bill recurring that not more than two members of one party shall be represented on any county commis- sion. At present the legislature elects the county commissioners, the party in power usually claim ing all three places on each com- mission. There are three repub- licans in New Haven county just at present. The bill cited above would limit the number that the controlling party might elect to two. The democrats in the house voted against rejection, but the g. o. D. majority was sufficient to defeat 1t. The senate tabled the same bill on motion of Senator Bergin.
 The house to-day rejected bill introduced by Rep William c. Hungerford of Watertown provid- ing for admissions and invitations for the biennial inauguration cer- emonies. The bill would have put them on a scale similar to that followed at Washington at nation- al inaugurals. Majority Leader Baldwin declared that there was real merit in the subject matter of the bill, but he believed that suffi- cient power lay in the house to make such rules without passing legislation to that effect. The ju- diciary committee. had reported unfaboraviy upon 1t.
 The house rejected a bill to-day of considerable interest to all na- tional guardsmen. The measure provided for the payment of a pen- sion to aIl guardsmen with . serv- ice record of 30 years. It was op- posed on the grounds of economy and was reported unfavorably by the military affairs committees

lTOIn dbC tronage list of his own, and Farley had one laboriously prepared after his meetings with political leaders in Miami while MT Roosevelt was yachting. The two men, long asso- ciated in New York politics, set out to reconcile the two lists.
 It was reported authoritatively that the cabinet lineup which came from Washington AS hours ago. and which included the names of Dan Roper of South Carolina for Secretary of Commerce and Harold Ickes of Chicago for secretary of the interior, was authentic.
 This list, which also included the name of George II. Dern, former governor of Utah for secretary of war, q selection confirmed at Hyde Park by MT Roosevelt yesterday will receive the official approval of the president elect within the week 1t was believed.
 In announcing the selection of Dern, MT Roosevelt also added that he picked Congressman Lewis Douglas of Arizona, an "old friend" for budget director. He re- gards Douglas, it was explained. as one of the foremost experts in the country on fiscal affairs and gov- ernmental reorganization.
 The president elect went into a hnuddle with Farley as he started from Albany to Krum Elbow, his country estate at Hyde Park. Both came here to attend the annual dinner of the Legislative Corre- spondents' association last night.
 Reports that Judge Robert W. Bingham of Louisville, Ky, would be asked to become the next ann bassador to the court of St James were accepted in circles close to Mir Roosevelt as authentic. Bing- ham has been mentioned frequently for a position in the diplomatic service. He visited Mir Roosevelt in New York two days ago.
 It also Is regarded as q certainty that Robert Durham of Chicago, one of the heavy contributors to the campaign fund, will be asked to accept aSplace abroad. He. too. was a caller at the home.
 When Mir Roosevelt was sojourn- ing at Warm Springs, Ga. it was rumored that Newton D. Baker of Ohio. former secretary of war, would be invited to accept an am- bassadOrship but later reports were that Baker desired no further pub lie honors.
 Short Address
 Albany, N. r., Feb 24-UP)- President-elect Roosevelt indicated to-day he planned to make his in- ugural address so brief 1t would re- quire only about eight minutes to deliver.
 You know" he declared, T al- ways like to be brief"
 If the president-elect carries out this intention. 1t will be the short est inaugural address on record.
 Mir Roosevelt was expected to work on his address this week end stay at Hyde Park. He said he has not yet begun the task.
 It was recalled that president Theodore Roosevelt was unusually brief in his inaugural address.

Bank Loses Sum Collected In
 Receivership
Judge Peasley Sets Precedent in Ordering Money Turned Over to Samuel Greenblatt- Waterbury Savings Also Instructed to Pay Receiver for Services

A precendent is believed to have been established in the superior court here in foreclosure matters when Judge Frederick NJ. Peasley ruled this morning that an amount collected by the receiver. should be turned over to the second mort gagee and the bank which brought the foreclosure action, pay the re- ceiver for his services.
 The decision was rendered in the case of the Waterbury Savings Bank against Grace E. Chapin and others. A motion asking the ac- ceptance of the receivers account. was heard in which 1t was shown that $77.59 had been collected by him. Judge Peasley questioned counsel for the bank, which brought the foreclosure, about tke value of the property. He was in- formed that the property was worth more than the amount of
The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-02-24
we the mortgage.

the mortgage.
 Judge Peasley then instructed that instead of the bank receiving the receivers account, that it be turned over to the second mort gagee, Samuel Greenblatt. and that the bank should pay the receiver for his services. This ruling is be- lieved to have been the first of its kind in the superior court.
 It was explained by attorneys that the court ruled in accordance with a recent supreme court decis- ion which states that In foreclo5- ure matters, when the property foreclosed Is worth more than the amount of the debt, the funds re- ceived through receivership, are to be turned over to the second mortgages. The property in the action heard this morning is located on Haase street and is a six family block. The mortgage debt was S584266.

two girl friends had done excellent
work. But on this day, all the girls
were told to remain strictly in their
own cabins from 2:30 to $3.50 p. m.
The two girls were given private
notice at 2:30 p. m. to be ready to
leave at p. m. Two cops (the cap
tain and his right hand mani came
to their cabin with the "matron."
A group Of 80 girls got together to
resist the officers. Some formed a
wedge at the porch entrance but
the cops walked up and bowled them
over, and 2 homeless girls were es-
corted out--a typical capitalist evic-
ton.
News travels quickly in the camp
The sympathy for the evicted girls
was great, particularly because cops
had taken them out. Our matron
took the names of all those who
had resisted discipline.

different directions, and the 4 who

unemployed women. They were pre-
pared to be beaten and arrested.
One way to let America know
about the evictions in our isolated
camp is to get into court Because
the Roosevelt camp mustn't come
into the papers, the matron called
the girls back into her Office, and
forgave them for their violation of
discipline.
She said she would give them an
other chance, that they could re-

Correspondent

This is the conclusion OF the
exposure of conditions at Camp
Terra, the camp for homeless and
unemployed girls, sponsored by
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt)
CAMP TERRA, N. Y.-Well, here
is what almost led to a strike at
this supposed Paradise for unem-
ployed and homeless girls.
Lunch and dinner for the first 2
weeks, steadily consisted of differ
emily prepared potatoes and differ
entity prepared cheap meats, a bit
of meat and the rest potatoes and
bread. Once, instead of meat and
potatoes, we got plain beans and
watery bread pudding for desert.
That night, every one had heart
burns, severe gas attacks, and consti-
patton. The silly nurse gave every
one EPSON salts.
The very next day we got cheese,
spaghetti and watery jello for de-
sert, and a new lineup for EPSON
salts took place. BY this time, prac-
tically every one was fed up with
all this starchy stuff and epson
salts. The authorities got sick and
tired of feeding us EPSON salts and
threatened castor oil with a "a
hour fast! Perhaps this was pun
ishment to our undisciplined stom-
achs.
Two girls, openly began agitating
for better food. They declared that
the authorities would not dare to
throw them out; They told the
staff that perhaps they did not
know what was good for us girls,
that during cold weather we wanted
hot tea, and instead of so much
starchy food, we wanted fresh fruit
and vegetables. Right and left, girls
were complaining about the food
until the authorities got shaky. The
atmosphere was becoming tense
CROUCH for a strike and we were
fully prepared.
One of the old maids in charge
made a threatening speech in the
