 states that the deficit occurring must be cared for in the next bud- get set up. - At the hearing 1t was apparent that the state tax commissioners office was not in accord with the plan of Mayor Hayes. The mayor was questioned somewhat by one of the deputies of Commissioner Will liam H. Blodgett as to the present set up of the budget and the local chief executive explained that while the moratorium might be granted any back taxes coming in would have to go into the surplus re- source sinking fund to retire any floating indebtedness or deficit.
 Many in Waterbury are now watching anxiously the action of the finance committee of the legis- lature relative to back taxes. If the two-year moratorium Is denied by the finance committee. the tax rate for the next two years will jump six mills.
 Mayor Hayes wants the manda- tory rule on setting up deficiency appropriations to take care of pre- vious years deficits lifted or post poned for two years 50 that tho municipality may have an oppor- tunity to extend all the leniency possible to the tax paying-property owning residents of the city. A favorable report on the bill is es- pected but, at the same time, Q great watch Is being kept for fear that unfavorable action may be recommended by the finance com mittee.

 Meanwhile the school board trustees worked frantically to find some way to raise funds. Yester- day they declined by @ vote of 6 to 3 to approve closing the schools with the frank admission that they could not find money to pay the teachers. The closing proposal, however, will come up again on April 26.
 In a message to the teachers, William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, warned they can not protect their salaries and their living standards without organized action." He pro. posed forming teachers unions.
 Chicago, April 15-(UP)-Chi- cago's unpaid school teachers marched in a giant protest dcmon- stration today.
 In their pockets they carried checks for one weeks salary but on their shoulders they carried banners demanding eight months back pay.
 At the head. of the procession were banners reading:
 politicians and bankers may clash, but still the teachers work without cash.'
 Seven day pay, seven months work"
 The board of education and city officials had hoped to avert the demonstration, which had been planned for several days, by mak- ing, available $1,600,000 for one weeks pay.
 Selection of Edward J. Kelly as permanent mayor had made possi- bIe the one weeks salary but it failed to check the demonstration.
 At the fore of the big parade were bands made up of school pu- pills whose loyalty to their teach CTS took the form last week of strike and refusal to attend classes Students from the grade schools and up to the six-foot senior who played the bass drum in one of the bands joined the educators in their battle for the money the city owes them.

A charity ball sponsored by rep resentatives of more than twenty Catholic Colleges serving as an af- fliated committee will be held next Tuesday evening In the Hamilton Park ballroom. It will be an out standing event of the Easter sea- son and in view of the interest ex- cited, the prominence of the spon- sors, patronesses and the expected guests 1t will be one of the most colorful social functions Waterbury has witnessed in years. It not only marks a splendid spirit of cooper ation in the cause of charity, as the Milk Fund and the Diocesan Bureau of Social Service will be the principal benefciaries, but sig naliZes a concerted plan to unite graduates and former students of Catholic institutions of learning in promoting worthwhile affairs. Not since the days of Knights of Co., lumbus social endeavors have local Catholic organizations attempted anything, which approaches in ef- fort and prestige, the charity ball arranged for next Tuesday evening.

Recognition of
 Soviet Russia
(Contlnued from Page 1)


 Cooper talked also with Assist ant Secretary of State Moley, one of the presidents principal ac- visors.
 Authorities familiar with Rus sa say that the Soviet union IS such a weighty factor in world commerce that its cooperation would be necessary in any broad international plan of recovery. The Soviet union is to take part in the London conference, but some ofii- cIals here are convinced that it's participation, as well as that of the United States, will be hampered If they are not free to talk together on an official plane.
 These same sources are con- vinced that preparations for the conference would be accelerated If tho two could discuss tariffs, ex- change and other matters in ad- vance of the London meeting. Lack of relations prevents this.
 Whether such talks will take place cannot be predicted now. All that can be said with certainty is that MT Roosevelt is studying the recognition problem as well as he can In the midst of pressing re- responsibilities.
 Already q campaign against rec- ognition is underway among cer- tain groups. This is being reflected in letters and telograms received by the state department and the White House.

 Farm leaders say that the price, raising allotment bill is not enough and that there must be imitation. Leaders in Congress report that unless the White House acts quickly Congress will, as one democratic leader puts 1t, liam in- fation down the administrations throat"
 A senate vote impends on direct currency expansion amendments to the farm bill. Democratic chieftains expect to turn back these proposals. but many of them are converted to the necessity of some inflationary measure. Even from inside the presidents official family comes word that more far-reaching action than has been hitherto proposed in the emergency program must be taken quickly.
 Within a few days the president Is expected to move toward set ting up 6 national coordinator for the railroads, which will involve practically government supervision of their operation.
 Other proposals receiving seri- ous consideration at the White House are these:
 l l. Limited imitation through @ public works bond issue of prob- ably $6,000, 900, 900.
 | 2. Launching of a vast pro- gram of government-fnanced con- struction of low cost dwellings flood control, sewerage systems waterworks and grade crossing elimination.
 3. Enforcement of minimum wages either by federal or state action, or self-regulation within various industries.
 4. A shorter work-week tc spread employment.
 The administration regards re. employment as the most pressing problem of the moment. Imitation public works and all other pro. posals are aimed at this.

 What to do about 1t" as far as Senator Bergin Is concerned re- mains yet problem for the party leaders in Connecticut, of course. The belief that Chairman Wilson will become district attorney is based on the fact that he has been recommended for the post by U. S. Senator Augustine Lonergan. The latter is with the "old guard" group on this appointment. It is not expected that the president will turn Senator Lonergan down be- cause this would be Ignoring the traditional senatorial courtesy. Yesterday Senator Lonergan to make his position plain. filed with Attorney General Homer $. Cum mings and Postmaster General Farley the name of Chairman Will son. He said he took his action in order to remove all doubts con- cerning his support of the Hartford | man.

Nothing has been done, as yet, concerning the woman probation officer but, in the meantime, many arc working to steer attention away from the very licrative posi- ton of probation officer for men, now held by Nicholas Combellack. The latter desires to hold his posi- tion but 1t is understood that under q bill now pending in the state leg islature an age limit would be set which would force Mir Conbellack out of his post. Efforts are being made to have the bill killed. If this effort falls through democrats are also likely to start shooting at Combellack's job, which is subject to appointment at the hands or the city court judges, also. -

Washington, April IS - Evi- dence that the democratic trend hi politics is not waning was given by the result of the municipal election in St Louis, where for the first time in 24 ychrs a domocra- tic mayor was elected after q campaign which brought out 77.2 per cent >of the registered voters, q larger percentage and greater numerical strength than ever be- fore recorded. The democrats. Tn addition, elected all IA candi- dates to the board of aldermen giving them control of tSe city legislative machinery for the first tine since the new city charter was adopted by the Missouri city. Mayor Bernard F. Dickman's ma jority over his republican oppo- nent was approximately 1G.O00, while the aldermanic candidates won by maJorities ranging from 18,000 to 22,000.
 Commenting on. this averturn the Baltimore Sun said:
 "A municipal election in St Louis last week, far from indicating the reaction against the party in power in Washington which is often man ifested on the heels of victory, gave 8 verdict into which may be read Il certain measure of cordial approval of the course of the administration.
 For the first time in a quarter of a century this strong republican city elected democratic mayor. giving him a majority of 15.O0O in a total vote of approximately 3O0, ,000, which was three fourths of the registered vote. A democratic majority of the council was elected for the first time since the present charter was enacted.
