Favor Drastic Action
The professional contingent in
the department is understood to
favor sweeping legislation to
buttress the present grain eX.
change control act, while other
figures in the department are
fearful of the effect of battle
over exchanges on the farm relief
program.

the grain exchanges.
A strong farm faction in Con-
gress has fought for several years
to control speculation on the
grain and produce markets, de-
claring the present act is insult
ficient to accomplish this pur-
pose.
Exchanges to Fight
Any extension of the govern.
ment control now exercised,
which includes check upon the
fluctuations of the market and
the check of individual traders,
is certain to be fought by the eX'
change heads.
During the Hoover administra-
ton a crisis was reached in the
relations of the Department OF
Agriculture with the exchanges,
with Secretary of Agriculture
Hyde threatening drastic action.
Some of the difficulties were
met by agreement. with the eX'
change heads cooperating to pre-
vent manipulation of prices.
Abolition of direct buying by
meat packers will be pushed by

City To Move Shortly Toward
 $500, ,OOO Loan
Special Meeting of Finance Board to Be Called Within Two Weeks-Money May Be Borrowed or Sc. cured Through Sale of Funding Bonds

A special meeting of the board of finance will be called perhaps within two weeks to take action either on the borrowing of money or the sale of the funding bonds which the city was given permis- sion to sell by the state legislature recently. Controller Daniel J. Leary made the announcement at yester- days meeting of the board of finance at the City Hall.
 It Is assumed that if it is decid- ed to borrow funds, a sum in the neighborhood of $500,00O will be sought. Under the bill passed by the legislature the city is permit ted to sell half million funding bonds this year and the same amount next year.
 Controller Leary said bankers had informed him that it would be a good plan to wait little while perhaps two weeks, until better conditions showed in the bond market and that there would be no difficulty in disposing of the bonds. Commissioner John H. Goss sup posed the interest on the bonds would be about per cent but Controller Leary said he thought he could do a little better and get an interest rate of about and one half or four and three quarters.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-04-07

The board authorized Controller Leary to investigate all bonds of employees in all departments of the city and determine whether they could be reduced in order to save money on premium payments. The action was taken after Commis- sioner Goss queried the bond for warded to the board of Miss Mil- dred Dunne of the park depart ment. The bond is in the amount of $5,000 but Commissioner Goss thought that amount was too large stating he couldn't see how an em- ploye of that department could ever get $5,000 in her hands at one time. He suggested that the bond be reduced to $1,000 when he learn ed that the premium on Q $5,000 bond costs $27.50 annually. The board 50 acted.
 Controller Leary repoI led $53,- 900 was available for the surplus resource sinking fund for February. The City treasurer's report showed the balance on hand as of De- cember 31, as $120.608.78. Back taxes collected by the tax attorney amounted to $2,810.93 during March. The report from the park commissioners showed that $281.66 was added to the Hamilton Park Sinking Fund during March, mak- ing the total in the fund, $4,858.48.

HITLER TO GIVE OUT TITLES AND
 HONOR MEDALS
Will Be Given to Leaders
 of His Party = He May
 Name Governors of All
 the States
By ERIC KEYsER

United Press Stan Corrcspondcnt)
 Berlin, April z. (UP)-The Hit Ter government further abrogated the republican constitution to-day by voting to reintroduce titles. medals and other signs of distinc- ton that were abolished under re- publican rule.
 The honors will be conferred by the president of the Reich and will be recallable. It was expected that new titles and decorations would be inaugurated soon to award dis- tinguished service in the Nazi revo- lution.
 A law making far-reaching changes in the relation of the Reich to the federal states and making the chancellor virtually an omnipotent ruler over the entire Reich was also discussed by the cabinet. It was expected to be promulgated soon and would have the practical effect of allowing the appointment of Hitlerites as gov- ernors of all the states. It was be- lieved a virtual certainty that hit Ter would appoint Minister Her. mann w. Goering as governor or Prussia, ignoring the claims of Vice Chancellor Franz von Papen who is a leading candidate. Won Papen will have no Prussian port folio, but will remain as Reich vice chancellor, 1t was understood.
 It was foreseen that Hitler would appoint governors for the federal states only to maintain a semb1ance of tho reich's federalis- tic character, inasmuch as all de- cisions would De made by Hitler himself. The governors would ap- point their state cabinets. Prussia, where the Reich chaincellor is automatically vested with the prerogatives of state governor, would be the one exception.
 The cabinet also contemplated combining the office of Reich food controller with the Prussian min- istry of agriculture under Hit lerite minister. The present food controllership is combined with the Reich ministry of economies under Dr Alfred HugSnberg, nationalists lader. This. encouragement would signify curtailment of the influence of non- -Hitlerites in the Reich gov ernment.
 Meanwhile reports of further G'cleaning" of Jews from positions of prominence were abroad and the German press contemplated an official warning that the freedom of the press was to be exercised within the bounds of a national discipline"
