SHADOW BOXER IS GIVEN JAIL TERM
 OF FOUR MONTHS
Judge Decided That Was the Best Way to Reduce
 His Energy

Referring, to a young man in court as a shadow boxer whose menacing flourishes were more seri- ous, than his spunches." Judge John F. McGrath disposed of the case by imposing jail sentence of four months upon the defendant, Will fam Dereskevicia, 35, of 31 Law renee street. The court decided that restricted program of effort and more varied diet would tend to recondition the young man and have him take a different slant on life. The accused was brought into court as the result of recent dis turbances in which he is alleged to have threatened his father.
 Ronald Morin, 20, of Center street, who was given a suspended sentence in court yesterday morn- ing and placed on probation be- cause of his good record of the past was fined $10 and costs today and ordered committed to jail to work out the penalty. Morin failed to take advantage of the break" he received yesterday and last eve ming while apparently celebrating his good fortune caused a dlsturD- ance and landed back in police headquarters.
 A nolle was entered with the case of Robert DeLuca, 23. of 13 Win chester street, charged with operat- ing a motor vehicle without regis tration and without a drivers li- cense. DeLuca appeared in court with both permits today and the charges were nolled.
 On the payment of $5 the case of America Sciaretta, 33, of 43 Put nam street was also 'nolled. He was charged with violation of the plumbing law.

SAMUEL INSULL
 TO LOSE $2l,OOO
Has Been Drawing Amount in Pensions From COnl=
 panies He Had Headed :

Chicago, November 23 - (UP) = Samuel Insull, former midwest utilities magnate now living in Greece, today was deprived of the $21,0OO in pensions he was re- ceiving from companies he former ly headed.
 The decision to discontinue pay ment of the annuities was made by directors of four compapies. 1nsull was receiving $6,00O a year eacn from the Commonwealth Edison Company, the Public Service Com pany of Northern Illinois, and the People Gas Light & Cock Company In addition he received $3.O00 a year from the Peoples Gas SUD- sidiary corporation.
 A brief statement issued atter the joint meeting of directors said they had carefully considered this question for some time and came to the decision that the continua- ton of the payment of MT lnsulrs pension is detrimental to the pest interests of the companies ana their stockholders" Insults refusal to return to the United States to face indictments growing out or failure of his vast utilities holding companies presumably prompted directors to cut off his renslons.

BIRTH CONTROL
 WAS APPROVED
League of Women Voters Passed it By Vote of
 56 to 5l

Greenwich. Conn, Nov 23-(UP) Birth control study was approved by the Connecticut League of Women Voters today at their state convention. The vote was 56 to 51.
 Disregarding threats that mem- bers opposed because of religious views would resign if the conven- tion voted favorably on the motion, the women put through the mo- tion.. As result birth control study will be added to the program of the social hygiene committee for the next year.
 Mrs Charles Styron of New Brit ain. who introduced the motion in a surprise move late yesterday, led the fight for it's adoption today. Answering the resignation threat she said all members should pre- serve an open mind on such ques- tions, and charged that most peo- pie practicde birth control whether they admitted it or not.
 The state laws on the subject, she said, are archaic, and recent bills introduced in the state general assembly have been models of hy- uOCriSy she said.

The testimony was given by Martin M. Rafter, assistant secre- tary of the Second Bank and Trust Company of Hoboken at Gordon's trial in federal court. Gordon Is charged with evading income taxes which, with penalties and interest, now amount to more than $1,OOO,- 900 for 1880 and 1881.
 Rafter said accounts were opened in the name of l.. J. Sampson, James Henderson, J. B. Cowen and J. Alexander, all of whom the government contends were acting for Gordon.
 In lieu of the bank records the government displayed chart claiming tine following deposits:
 Sampson $599,793, from April to June 1880; Henderson, $1,255,O0S from June, 1890, to January, 1881: Cowen $102,655 between January and March, 1881; Alexander, $47,- 255.

 Gordon paid an income tax of $10.76 in 1880.
 The plump, scowling defendant, whom the government charges with evadjng more than $1,000,00O in- come tax payments, faced another embarrassing day in federal court with the prosecution's promise to reveal further details of Gordon's extensive brewery operations, his part ownership in New York hotels, and his penchant for living expen- sively.
 Two women witnesses and a for nal demand for payment of $1,- O20,15O in delinquent taxes and in- terest, ruined the defendants day yesterday.

By LYLE c. WILSON limited Press Staff COfrcfDOndent)

N
 Washington, Nov 23.-OP)-Al- bert H. Wiggin and group of New York and Chicago bankers and in- dustrialists were charged today be- fore the senate stock market com mittee with forming conspiracy" to force William Fox to abdicate the throne of his movie empire.
 The name of former Presi- dent Hoover was drawn today into senate stock market investiga- tions of a bankers raid on Fox Film, Inc, when William Fox tes- tified he appealed directly to MT Hoover in 1929 for protection.
 Fox said he went to the presi- dent after failing to obtain action through two intermediates, Clau- dius Houston and the late James Francis Burke, prominent republi- can politicians.
 Louis Mayer Helped William Fox swore today in tes- timony before the senate stock market committee that Louis B. | Mayer of California, told him in 1929. that he had caused justice de- partment records to be changed in 1929 to block 8 merger of Fox and Loew film interests.
 But l dOnt belleVe ne dld IL at all," Fox said. "I think that was ego. If you asked me today who had that record changed. would say it was Harley L. Clarke.
 Fox said he placated Mayors op- position to the merger by an offer of $2,OOO,OO0 for Mayer and his as- sociates and then told Mayer about the justice department record. Mayer was republican national committeeman for California at the time.
 Louis told me: knew all about that. I caused that record to be changed. It was a perfectly simple matter to do but to cause the rec ord to be changed back might not be so easy. But I believe l can accomplish it.''

Prospects for a national govern ment of emergency, such as was necessitated when the franc col lapsed in 1926, loomed larger.
 Deputies took their seats at g a. m. today, prepared for an angry debate that was expected to last we'll into the early hours of tomor- row and reach its climax in vote of nisconfidence in the govern ment.
 The vote will be on aticle VI. of the budget, dealing with the old stumbling block--pay of civil ser wants. Premier Albert Sarraut regards pay cuts as essential but the deputies are not expected to agree.
 With a near miracle regarded as the only thing that could save Sar- raut after only four weeks In or flee, politicians already discussed his probable successor.
 Camille Chautemps, minister or interior; Georges Bonnet, finance minister; Edouard Daladier, whom Sarraut succeeded and who re- mained in the cabinet as war mln- ister and the vteran Edouard Her riot, leader of the Chautemps-B Bon- net-Daladier radical socialist party, were mentioned as possibilities. Sarraut is a left democrat, heading a left coalition government.
 Herriot was expected to refuse to be premier. He has just recov- cred from a grave illness. Dala- dier has fallen once on the budget question. Bonnet feels as he does on civil service pay. Hence Chau- temps was regarded as the likenest chnife
