The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-08-11

With the closing last night at 10 o'clock of the time for filing names on the primary lists this year. the local regular republican organiZa- tion leaders realized that the fight offered them by the g. o. D. re- organization group promises to be q serious one. Out of nearly coo primary applications filed with the registrars of voters and their depu- ties yesterday, nearly 200 of them carIr from the reorganization group.
 Attorney George Crocicchia, who is candidate for the nominatioE of senator in the 18th district on the republican ticket, also gave the rganization leaders who favor either Attorney Harry J. Beardsley or School Commissioner Vincent A. Miller for the honor, an idea of his growing strength. He filed over 300 of the 600 applications handed into the registrars yester- day.
 The remainder of the 100 odd applications were filed by individ- uals themselves. The democrat enrolment was very small. This was due to tn efact that there is no primary battle scheduled for this year in the democratic ranks, all the trouble being centered among the z. o. p. voters.
 After yesterdays showing, the reorganization group now plans to hold a mass meeting within a week or so and set up slates of delegates to the various g. O. p. conventions following open caucuses at which all republicans registered on the primary list will have an opportu- nifty to participate in. This seems that the regular organization and the reorganization group will each have tickets entered from each

the proposed ordinance. It is planned to hold a public hearing in the matter.
 Several times similar ordinances have been introduced to the New Haven board of aldermen but they have been turned down time and again. This time, though, it is ex- pected that the ordinance will go through.
 To Hurt "BOotlegging"
 If the ban does become effec- tive it will mean one more city in Connecticut from which fireworks cannot be "bootlegged" into Wa. terbury. AS the case is now, many Waterburians, returning from out of-town after enjoying their Fourth of July outing, have brought back to the city large quantities of fire works which they have discharged in the evening. Nearby towns with no ban on the sale and dis charge of fireworks, have dealers who conduct a thriving business just prior to and during Fourth of July,

Proposed Ordinance Similar To One In
 Force Here Of Late
Special Permission to Communities for Celebrations to Be Given By POlice-EIm City Board of Health
 Files Petition - Hearing Looms

Sale and discharge of fireworks will be prohibited in New Haven soon. In other words the Elm City officials are planning to follow the example set a couple of years ago by Waterbury in banning fireworks on the. Fourth of July except when they are discharged at commun- ity affair under special permission of the police department.
 Slow In Joining
 It is understood that the pro- posed ordinance, as drawn up, is similar to the one in force here. New Haven has been slow to join the growing number of Connecti- cut communities that ban the dis charge and sa>e of fireworks for the celebration of the Fourth of July.
 In Waterbury the proposal to ban the fireworks was made by leading citizens. In New Haven, though, the petition has come from the board of health. Prominent business and professional men in New Haven have already endorsed

HOUSING SHOW
SUCCESSFUL

While the doors were closed
at the Better Homes Exposition
today because of the holiday, 1t
was learned that the show has
been more successful than was
anticipated.
Because of the short time dur
ing which the exhibit was in
preparation, it was expected
that some of the space would
not be sold, and that crowds
might be smaller than at pre-
vious shows of the kind.
All booth space was sold be-
fore the exposition opened, how
ever, and visitors have been
numerous in spite of the rainy
weather.
The Better Homes Exposition,
sponsored by the Washington
Better Housing Campaign, is in
the Bus Center Of Washington,
on Pennsylvania Avenue between
Sixth and Seventh Streets N. w.
The show is open daily from 2
to S and 7 to $50 p. m, except
this coming Sunday. Admission
is free.

Fleet Operators Accept Compromise of Mayors
 Mediator To-day

New York, Feb 7.-(UPl--faew York became Q city of taxis again to-day as blue machines, green machines, and pink. orchid, yellow and lavender machines rolled Into the street in thousands for the first time si1lce Saturday.
 Apparently, the taxi drivers strike was settled although not all of the drivers agreed upon it and police were prepared for all eventualities. Early estimated on inc number of men back ct work were set at one-third of normal.
 After large fleet owners threat ened to put their machines In ODer- ation with drivers who were weary of striking, the representatives of the several unions accepted a cOTn- promise offered by Morris l.. Ernst, Mayor LaGuardia's mediatos The agre ement was accepted by the fleet C. 1rators.
 The compromise agreement stipulated a Hiinimuiia weekly wage for day drivers of SEQ and for night drivers, $22. The money acc cum mulated from the five-cent tex, inc division of which pfeeipitated the strike five days ago, is to Dc divided equally between the driv- CTS and the companies.

last nlBnt. The riots broke out anew this morning, only nine hours after sol- diers, police, mounted republican guardsmen and mobile guardsmen swept the remnants of rioters from the place de la Concorde. This time the rioters were not politically conscious groups of par tisans but ordinary taxpayers, an-
 gered to fighting pitch by the po-
 lice shooting.
 They burned motor cars in the place while Daladier was trying to decide how to avoid further shoot- ing, This, combined with the reS- ignation of the left radical minis
 ters, impelled him to resign. At noon today, with the govern ment nervous over renewed riot ing despite orders forbidding any public manifestations, troops of the f24th infantry regiment, reinforced by police detactmen ents, were dis patched to guard athe foreign of- fees, the chamber of deputies, tho Elysee palace of President Albert Lebrun, and other governmental buildings.
 AS the troops took up their posi- tions, Premier Daladier summoned
 into conference Edouard Herriot, leader of the governmental radical socialist party, Leom Blum, social-' ist party leader; Ferdinand Bouis- son, president of the chamber, and Jules Jeanneney, president of the senate.
 They discussed the crisis and
 possible steps to prevent further deaths.
 Their anger was manifested
 when a street crowd today recog- nized Senator Camille Roland, of the government party, and chased
 him into a restaurant where he sought refuge behind locked doors.
 Herrlot, square built, heavy faced leader of the radical soctal- ist party, a man of the people and one fthe most generally respect ed men in France, was the real
 head of today's governmental con-
 Herriot's last government fell because he insisted that France pay in full its war debt to the
 United States. He said then he
 would not accept political office
 so long as the debt remained In de- fault.
 In this grave national emer- | gency, however, with crowds of maddened citizens treading the
 square made historic as the guillo-
 tine ground in the great revolution,
 more people looked to Herriot each hour.
