$l5,OOO PAYROLL
 IN FEDERAL FUNDS
Distributed Yesterday in Checks to CWA WOrk-
 CTS in Waterbury

That local officials of CWA ac- tivity are more than anxious to get the federal funds into circulation was made evident yesterday when disbursing agent Charles Harder. after several days of feverish work. supervised the distribution of more than 1175 paychecks to that many CWA workers day ahead of sche- dule. Pay day for the workers. originally Saturday, will be Friday hereafter.
 This weeks payroll, for four days of six hours each, was close to $15,0OO. The .crst full weeks wages will be given out next Frl- day. This weeks hours were short ened due to the holiday, while last weeks the first payroll, wass for three and four days.
 CWA workers have begun on an7 other project. the playground at Fairmount, Waterville. The spot was the scene of activity by the Mutual Aid at one time. William Harris, local administrator, will be- gin calling for more CWA work CTS for various other projects after next Monday. The local quota of 2O0O should be filled within few weeks, i. is believed, with the ap- proval of proposed focal projects by the state board.
 The payroll this week was the first handled through the local dis bursting office. Last weeks came through the U. s. Veterans bureau at Newington.
 Besides the Waterbury payroll MT Harder was this morning ar- ranging payrolls for nearby towns. A number of them will be distrib- uted today.

 Public Ready for Test
 Hundreds of Waterburians are prepared judging from comments heard around the city. to sample the original "wet goods" on the market Wednesday.
 The local drug store owners are still awaiting the outcome of test case they plan. The liquor control board has ruled that they must obtain package" permits before handling liquor. The druggists claim differently and feel that their pharmacist licenses give them certain rights. A court test is now being arranged.
 The package" permits do not allow the sale of liquors or wines in bottles holding less than "A ounces. This bottle is smaller than a quart and is popularly known as a "ffth".

 Appreciation of Catholic Art

to understand religious canons. Such q new deal for American re- ligious art cannot help but have far recahing social and aesthetic im- portance for our country, we be- 1ieve."
 Another project of the guild will be the application of Father Kel- ly's theory of the therapeutic value of art. Selected groups of paint ings will be on loan to hospitals and sanatoriums.
 "Art has a useful part in the life of every man, woman and child. Art enjoyment is not reserved for the elect. Great paintings were never meant to be cloistered in museums. I suspect that we have little vision of the true ideal of the utilitarian in art. For instance:
 T believe that art in any of its forms but particularly painting should have a very real part in therapeutics. It seems to me that the mildly neurotic and the neu- raesthenic would be immeasurably benefited by the contemplation of a beautiful painting. Doctors and nurses, social workers, and va rfety of individuals in employment that gives them an overwhelming ly poignant though vicarious ex- perience of the woes of the world would find it easier to maintain q healthy mental state and a sani- tized attitude if surrounded with fine pictures. Certainly it is my opinion that convalescence could be made much less depressing if the patient could fix his mind objec- lively upon some object of distinc- tive beauty. l am not at all cer- tain that the milder forms of de- mentia might not show marked im- provement as a result of gazing upon fine art"
 "Of course this is largely hypo- thetical," he admitted smilingly, but I should like to see 1t tried, in part as a means of materially en. couraging American artists but as much because I believe it prac- tical. If you askme should have to admit the impossibility of pre- scribing paintings for specific dis eases but think almost any of the genre group might conceivably do some good and could do no harm But I am sure the bearded DOT traits of institutional founders and benefactors must be an occasional Justification for depressive mania
 James Britton, distinguished con- temporary of Bellows. Henri and Luks, and Louis Jambor, acclaimed c Hungarian-Am artist, have been selected as the first of the guilds representative artists. The first portfolio to reach the guilds clientele will include three exam pes of Britton's work and one print from a painting by Jambor.

REVELATIONS ON
 THE INCOME TAXES

(Continued from Page 1.) Pujo money trust" Investigations in which the late J. P. Morgan, Sr. and others appeared before a house committee.
 Brandeis argued that while con- gress was not granted the power to regulate state banks and other institutions except in respect to interstate commerce, "it may do so indirectly by virtue either of its control of the mail privilege or through the taxing power.
 Cooperation between the house and senate committees will in gen. eral leave to the former the task of making the income tax laws es- cape proof. The senate committee will concentrate for the most part upon correction of stock exchange abuses. This division of labor fol- lows a natural course, 1t being the prerogative of the house to initiate all tax legislation.

 A recommendation was before the permit authorities from the na- tional commercial policy commit- tee, representing the state, treas ,ury. commerce, justice and agricul- ture departments, that imports be a allowed before Christmas to the extent of what would have been a four-month supply before prohibi- ton.
 Meantime a code for importers, supplementing their marketing agreement, and regulating their trade practices, prices and terms of liquor sales, wages and hours Of their employees, and general re- uuirements for permits, was taken to President Roosevelt at Hot Springs. Ga, for approval. Edward G. Lowry, special assistant to Act ingg Secretary of Treasury Henry Morgenthau, Jr, rushed the docu- ment by airplane.
 The marketing agreement set aside a reserve or "slush" quota for the benefit of wine and liquor exporting countries which had not tablished themselves as such prior to 1910-1914. but which since have developed the fermentation and distiiling industries. and for foreign countries which have come into being since 1914. Argentina figured in the first category, in the latter. These countries will be assigned quotas under the "slush" quota.
 Government officials emphasized that the quotas were a temporary expedient for controlling imports until congress enacts regulations.
 Beer. ale, porter, stout or other malt or cereal beverages were cX- mpted from restrictions of the im- portrs' agreement. This was in line with the administrators pol icy to discriminate against hard liquors in favor of light wines and beer.
 The quota system was invoked because of the administration de- termination that if liquor exporting countries are to leash in" on repeal that must reciprocate by buying American products.
