SAITO RAPS JINGOES

Pleads for Agreement to Halt Naval
Race.
BY the Associated Press.
A plea by a noted japanese states
man for agreement in the London
naval discussions to avoid "a bank
rupting naval race" aroused wide in
terest in official circles today.
They noted particularly that Wis
count Admiral Makoto Saito, writing
an article for today's Christian Sci
ence Monitor. took a fling at jingoes
Of all countries. including Japan.
Viscount Saito, former premier OF
his country said the three-sided talks
must succeed for the peace of the
world" His article appears at time
when official quarters In London are
forecasting that the discussions-in-
volving the United States. Great Brit
ain and Japan-will break down
quickly.
Fears Setback.
Ssito. minister of the japanese
navy in three cabinets, said a return
to ultra -nationalism will only re-
suit in setback TO civilization and
feed the fires of hate"
Deliberate propaganda, he said, in
spires Japanese extremists. who de-
mand aggressive action, would dis
card the Washington treaty limiting
navies and build the biggest navy
He said also that similar big navy
propaganda is being spread in the
United States and Great Britain.
His suggestion was that the world
naval powers reach an agreement to
limit their forces to enough ships to
protect their coast lines and COM
merce.
Hits Aggressive Policy.
Navies he described as "floati
castles of taxpayers money" and he
thought 1t was unwise for nations to
spend huger sums on them when the
money could be used more bene-
ficially.
Right-thinking people of all ma
tions. Saito said. should realize be-
fore 1t is too late that absolutely
nothing will be accomplished by a
bankrupting naval race"
Japan must not have an aggres-
sive policy" he continued. Il have
said many times and say again that
We must live in this world together
and belligerent member only adds
to the burden of all. I say delib-
erately the London conference must
succeed for the peace of the world" "

Thousands of spectators packed
every inch of space in the station anc
along the route from the station te
Buckingham Palace. where Marina
and her parents will be guests until
the wedding.
Waves of cheers echoed through
the murky station where flowers and
powerful lamps made a brave show
in Frightening the gloom as the train
pulled in.
Kent had kissed his bride-to-be
on the gangway Of the steamer al
Dover and King George and Queen
Mary each greeted their future
daughter in law the same way.
The Prince of Wales and the Duke

that they realize this the racketeering
may fall on. The newspapers have
made the city crime conscious and
the racketeers are gradually being run
to cover
when all the Washington news

The Washington Post, the Herald
and the Times. together with all the
radio stations Of Washington, have
joined with The Star in Suppressing

total number is used as 'authorative"
information by the racketeers in
furthering the interests Of the num-

stories he has heard about the num-

parishioner not long ago placing

play any number, in the hope OF
winning, though why they do it 1

Ex=Alderman Jaeger Proposes Truce in Criticism,
 Hints at G. o. P. Reorganization Plans

Stop giving Waterbury a black eye, former Alderman John w. Jaeger urged yesterday noon in an address before the Mems Bible class of the South Waterbury Fed erated church as he decried the continual criticism of the adminis- tration of Mayor Frank Hayes in the local press. Cease the 365-days- a-year program of attacking the mayor and give the people about ten weeks of it around election time, he added, and save the other 40 weeks for news beneficial to the city.
 E-Alderman Jaeger's address, while it was largely devoted to praise of Mayor Hayes, also con- tained numerous references to the local republican party. The Water- bury g. o. D. organization is asleep, he charged. It must be revamped, he declared, adding that he will have a part in the reorganization program although he, himself, will not seek public office.
 Mayor Sincere
 Mayor Hayes, ex-Alderman Jae- ger said, is honest and sincere but he has to deal with corrupt po- litical machine and that despite the fact that he has been giving the city a good government he has been hampered somewhat by chief tains in the democratic party. Real opposition to the democratic or- ganization is assured this fall, he declared hence the plans to re-or- ganiZe the g. o. D. ranks.
 The speaker denied that there is as much graft in politics as the people think. He declared that in

The average per capita savings account of 57,650 depositors of the Waterbury Savings bank is $557.79. The total deposits of this institution, which was consolidated a year ago with the Dime Savings bank and the West Side Savings bank exceed $32,O0O,000, indicat- ing that many Waterburians have the wherewith for that "rainy" day and sufficient of the coin of the realm to withstand this "here de- pression.'
 The information concerning the per capita savings account was elicited as result of state treatise on Connecticut's wealth.
 Thousands of local persons have savings deposits in the various other banks of Waterbury, but surveying the state to determine the per capita wealth of Connect icut towns and cities, as measured by mutual savings banks, the Saw ings Bank Journal in its March isuse revealed some interesting facts. To obtain an idea of local conditions and to learn whether or not Waterbury is as thrifty as other communities inquiry was made at the Waterbury Savings bank win the results as outlined above.
 The Savings Bank Journal states that Canaan stands at the head of the list with an average savings bank account of $3,859.76 for each of its 565 citizens" The Waterbury Savings banks total number of depositors is more than half of the city's population. Of course it is obvious that it may have many out of town depositors, perhaps some in foreign lands.
 The journal continuing states:
 Throughout the state the aver age of accounts is highest in large cities it mounts to substan- tial figures. On January 1 the per capita average in Hartford was s653.SO, in New Haven $479.1S and in Bridgeport, the third largest, $52O.2S. If every man, woman and child living in the three com munities had saved the same amount each one would have the sums named.
 A little study of the states saw ings bank figures discloses many interesting facts. Of the whole pop ulation of 1,606,903 people living in the state, no less than 996,215 had savings bank accounts on Jan- uary l. That was six-tenths of all the people in the state and they had $650,7S5,990 on deposit. This meant an average account of $653.26 for every actual depositor or a per capita average of $404.99 for each person in the state.
 Besides the four places named, other Connecticut communities with per capita savings bank &C., counts of more than $45O follow in this order.

NEW DEAL FAILS
 AVERAGE WORKER
Norman Thomas Attacks AAA, Preparedness
 Is Forum Speaker

America has the choice of con- tinuing form of capitalism under Fascism or establishing cooperative Socialism because capitalism is al- ready dead and cannot be saved, declared Norman Thomas, Scoalist leader, in an address ar the forum at the Second Congregational church last night.
 MT. Thomas spoke on "The Downfall of Capitalism" He com pared the efforts put forth by Hoover to bring about change and their results, with the new plans inaugurated by President Roosevelt. Hoover. MT. Thomas said, did things the wrong way when he attempted to do the right things, politically speaking. On the other hand, Roosevelt has done the wrong things the right way
 Speaking of the New Deal, MT. Thomas said it has some outstand- ing features, chiefly the putting back to work of many unemployed men. But the position of the av- craze worker has not improved be- cause any man who had job last June is two per cent worse off under the code, MT. Thomas aver red. He said that was due to the increase in purchasing price with the average wage remaining the same.
 MT. Thomas attacked the Agri- culture Adjustment Act as the greatest satire on a dying civili- zation ever written" He holds that it is undoing the work that has been accomplished to create abun- dance, and is especially hard on the "share-farmers."
 The speaked denounced the trend toward increased armaments and said our failure to abolish pow erty is a throw back to uncivili- Zation.

CORONER MONzANI CONDUCTS INQUEST
Questions Witnesses in Death of Thomas Fanin=
 elli, IA, in Auto Crash

Coroner John T. Monzani to-day continued his probe into the Wa tertown avenue accident Saturday night which caused the instant death of Thomas Fainelli, IA, of Middlebury and sent three others to the Waterbury hospital for treatment.
 The youth was a passenger In 9 light truck driven by Peter Sig nori. A, of Perkins avenue, which struck heavy Consolidated Truck ing company vehicle and then crashed into the Waterbury hos pital fence opposite the General Ice company plant.
 Injured in the accident were Louis Fainelli, 50, father of the dead youth, Signori and his IS year old son, Robert. All three went to the hospital for treatment. The two Signoris were discharged after their cuts and bruises had been treated, while the elder Fain- elli remained at the institution till yesterday.
 The other truck involved in the accident was driven by Joseph Le- due of 240 Cherry street, who said that the Slgnorl vehicle Zig-Zagged across the road, hit the end of his truck and then crashed into the heavy fence and stone wall. The Consolidated truck was undam- aged. A passenger, Joseph Bouley, 22, of Cherry street, was uninjured.

his 30 years experience in politics he knows of only two men who made money out of politics and they did not get it through graft. Most men lost money in politics, he added.
 City's Prestige
 Instead of having a slam bang attack on the city government every day of the year, he said, the people should be given a rest from this sort of thing. It creates a bad opinion in the minds of strangers and makes them think that we are corrupt. Ex-Alderman Jaeger pointed to the excellent financial standing the city has with the big gest banking houses of the country. Why paint the city black?" he asked.
 Mayor Hayes, he-added, has kept all his promises and they were sane ones. He brought applause from the gathering when he de- clared that as long as Mayor Hayes is the city's chief executive the municipality will not go into bank ruptcy. The mayors record in the city as an ordinary citizen and in the legislature as a member of the house were also praised by the speaker.
 Referring to the attacks being made on Registrars Thomas F. Dill lane and Henry O'Connor, ex-Al- derman Jaeger stated that such action is not fair. Everybody'know that the registrars office is a poli- tician's playground and, therefore why should two individuals be picked out and abused when it is the system that is wrong.
 Charter Change Proposed
 Every man and woman sheuld be obliged to register personally he said. He proposed a change in the city charter along this line and said that he would like to see the mat ter brought before the next legisla- ture. There is no other way that the registrars can get the absolute facts. he stated.
 Referring to the alertness of the democratic party and the laxity in the g. o. D. organization, ex-Al- derman Jaeger stated that the democrats are always on the job and are clever workers. On the other hand the republicans didn't know how to hold it's chiefs. He pointed to the treatment given such old war horses" as fromer Assessor Arthur Bronson and ex- Prosecutor Emil Hummel by the republican organization. Both men and their families worked hard for the party but were kicked out, he charged.
 G. o. P. Weakness
 The real weakness of the re- publican party here was demon- strated to the election two years ago when Congressman Goss car ried the district by less than 100. The late Congressman James Glynn was poor man, he said, yet he carried the district by over 5000 while Congressman Goss, a rich man with everything at his disposal fell below the 100 mark.
 All personal stuff" must be cut out, he explained. and the republi- can party should get down to real organization business, saving any charges that it may have against the democrats for around election time.
