latest EZRA development were
 taken. although 1t is not likely, ac-
 cording to William M. Harris, local
 Administrator, that any great
 nrogress will be made until the
 workers become accustomed to tne
 new routine.
 Ticking and cotton are supplied
 by the government among other
 commodities granted to the city
 monthly, and Mutual Aid employes
 are engaged in bringing the ma
 terials from New Haven and stor-
 ing them temporarily at the Lin-
 coin house. It is likely that the
 rooms on the upper floor of the
 building which will shortly be va cated by the Visiting Nurse asso- citation, will be used for storage purposes, MT Harris said.
 It is expected that within a few weeks the workers will become sufficiently familiar with the me- thods of production so that mat tresses will be manufactured ra- pidly and efficiently.
 It is hoped to equal, If not sur- pass, the work done in the two other factories in Connecticut, ac- cording to MT Harris.
 Besides the materials for manu- facture allotted to the city this week notice was also received or a shipment of 8390 pounds or fresh veal to be called for by Wa terbury relief employees at the New Haven warehouse today.

FRANCE AGAIN IS
 FACING THE MOST
 SERIOUS CRISIS
HerriOt and Five Other Radical Members Re-
 signed From Cabinet

Paris, Nov 6.-(UP)-Edoua Herriot and five other radical members of the cabinet handed their resignatoins to Premier Cas- ton Doumergue to-day, precipitat- ing a new crisis which may lead to resignation of the salvation gov ernment.
 The resignations, effective only if Doumergue persists in asking for vote of confidence Thursday on the governments plea for three months credit, came as parliament assembled for new session which may be momentous for France and all Europe.
 A tumultuous political situation has threatened to end the Doumer- que government and lead to a request for dissolution of parlia- ment, new elections and constitu- tional reform.
 In addition to Herriot, the resig- nations were those of Ministers Berthod, Marchandeau, Bertrand, Queuille and Lamoreaux.
 As soon as the radical deputies met to-day, Edouard Daladier at tackled the Doumergue reform pro- gram but emphasized that Dou- mergue is not a candidate to-day or tomorrow" for the premeirship into which he was thrust to "save" France from political disaster.
 Observers believed, however, that he was certain to resign if the radicals carried ont their re- tirement from the cabinet As a result it was believed left-wing coalition cabinet would be formed with Herriot and Etienne Flandin jointly in command.
 Doumergue replied to the radi- calls by announcing he. would posi- lively return to his retirement and refuse to form a new cabinet if the present political truce is broken.
 It appeared that only a complete reversal by one side or the other could avoid a crisis tonight or to- morrow.

PAY TELEPHONES NOW DOT STATE.
 lO,6OO IN TOTAL
Connecticut Is Example of Availability of Public
 Stations

Although in many European countries 1t is necessary to conduct a diligent search in order to To- cate public telephone, such is far from the case in America, as is readily shown by the wide spread present day distribution of public telephones in Connecticut. The number of public pay tele- phones m the Southern New Eng land Telephone company system on August 31 was 10,600, a figure which indicates the general avail ability of public telephones in this country, where the familiar blue Bell System sign can be found on almost every corner store.
 To provide greatest accessibility pay telephones are located in a wide variety of public places. Of the total of 10,603 in use in Con- necticut, 6,225 of the pay tele- phones are of the semi-public type which are located in stores and other places of business for the convenience both of the proprietor and of his customers.
 The other. .4,37S pay stations are of the public type, in practically all cases housed in a booth and conveniently located for the use of customers and passersby. Forty six of this latter type of pay tele- phones have an operator in con- stant attendance to assist the pub lie in making calls. The customer merely gives the information con- corning the call he wishes to make and the operator makes the call for him, notifying him when the called party answers.
 Company records show that as wide a variety of calls are made from pay stations as from private telephones. Calls placed to points at great distance from Connecti- cut are not at all uncommon from pay stations, and the ratio of the number of toll calls to local calls is slightly higher than is the case with the average private tlephone.
 The pay telephone is one thing whose number has not been dim- inished by the depression. There are more coin box telephones in Connecticut to-day than there were in the good business days of 1929 and 1880.
 Although it may seem strange in this modern day, when the pay station type of telephone was or iginated it was treated largely as a joke. The belief was that no one would pay nickel for the privi- lege of using telephone. The first coin boxes were installed as an ex- that communication was not as es- sential then as it is to-day, the experiment proved successful.

Automobile Horns
 Basis Of Campaign
City Officials Urged to Follow Example of Foreign
 Capitals in "NOise Disarmament"

hundred blasts carries any such significance to-day. If this abuse was brought under control, motor- ists would pay more attention to the brakes. The result would be more respect for boulevard stops, slower speeds in turning corners, less hurrying in congested traffic, and a decrease in the number of drivers constantly weaving their cars in and out of the lanes of traffic.
 Any program to reduce noise on our streets might also include a drive against open exhausts on motorcycles, backfiring of engines, and other unnecessary noises."
 With reference to noise dis armament in foreign capitals, the A.AA. said:
 London authorities recently banned use of horns between 11:30 D. m. and a. m., with the threat of $10 fine for offenders. Re- ports on the campaign are to the effect that motorists responded to the order and that within a five mile radius of Charing Cross there prevailed degree of quiet un- known since the advent of the au tomotive era. Whether anything so sweeping could be attempted in the United States is open to ques- tiop, but there is certainly room for experimentation and improve ment. Undoubtedly, a campaign of public education would accom- plish much in the way of elim- mating useless noise.
 American tourists returning from Berlin have expressed sur prise at the, absence of noise from automobile horns and street cars. A fifty mark fine (s20 in Ameri- can money) is imposed for the un- necessary blowing of auto horns and sirens. It is also interesting to note that the chief of police of Berlin has visited a number of cit ies in this country and was amazed at the failure to do anything to stop the ve-wracking din that characterizes the streets of all American cities and towns today"

Washington, D. C., Nov 6.-The American Automobile association to-day appealed to city officials to follow the example of foreign capitals in noise disarmament" and outlaw raucous sounding of automobile horns.
 The national motoring body pointed out that London, Paris, Rome, and Berlin have already put anti-noise ordinances into ef- feet and secured notable success, with the police dealing in drastic fashion with those who violate the regulations against unnecessary noise.
 "In addition to bringing about a new era on the streets of Ameri- can cities, particularly residential areas" said Thomas P. Henry Of Detroit, Mich, president of the A.A.A., "a ban on the loud and continuousblowing of automobile horns would also contribute to safer motoring conditions.
