MAYOR REEUTES STORY PRINTED
 IN AMERICAN
Was Published Last Night and Mayor Calls It
 Unqualified Lie

In answer to a story printed in last nights American and cop jed this morning by the Republican to the effect that the city of Water- bury had decided to refuse the grant from the federal government for the welfare department which carries with it the obligation of em- ploying college graduates who have been trained and had experience in social welfare work, Mayor Frank Hayes this morning de- nounced the statement as an un- qualified lie.
 Nothing could be in greater contradiction to the facts" said the mayor. instead of refusing the money the city weeks ago sub- mitted a list of names of those who could meet the requirements laid down by the government and we are now awaiting the decision of those who have the power of making the selection. Waterbury received during the first six months of last year over seventy thousand dollars for our munici- pal welfare department. For any, one to say that we are going to deprive our needy of the help they get from the expenditure of the federal grant because the govern ment lays down certain require ments before we can get the money is too preposterous to talk about.

ASKED DIVORCE
 IN POETIC WAY
Judge Read Over Verses and Then Granted the
 Decree to Wife

Dallas, Tex, March 13-UP)- Jack R. Hill said it in poetry when his wife, Ruby Hill, filed suit for divorce. In 31 stanzas Hill ex- plained the sad plight of his mar ital venture and asked Judge w. M. Taylor to grant decree.
 The judge looked over the poet ry and acquiesced. Two of the stanzas follow:
 "She did not care for home
 And things that ought to be, She loved the vanity of the day
 And the thoughts of being free. He tried so hard to make things
 go
 For a home and a loving wife, But she could not seem to under
 stand
 And thus the hell and strife."

SOLDIER BONUS
 STILLFAR AWAY
May Be Compromise of All Parties-President Yet May Win Out
BY EDWARD w. LEWIS United Press Staff Correspondent

Washington, March 13-(UP)- Out of a turbulent house revolt in favor of payment of the bonus the administration today salvaged q partial victory on the question of increased compensation for veter- ans and restoration of government pay cuts.
 Shortly after the democratic con- trolled house had approved the S2,4O0, 100000 soldier bonus bill by a 295 to 125 vote in the face of a certain veto by President Roose- welt, an administration compromise was won on the benefit and pay cut
 issue
 A democratic caucus voted 165 to "A to refer the independent off, fees bill which carries amendments
 which virtually would wreck Pres ident Roosevelt's economy program
 back to conference with the senate.
 The action prevents the measure
 from coming before the house in it's present form. Administration forces believe it will now be pos- sible to obtain compromise.
 Despite the overwhelming house vote for the bonus, it was believed likely that the senate would re- ject the proposition as it has in the past.
 The senate, 1t is generally agreed will give the bonus stronger sup port this time but the margin is not expected to be large enough to send the bill to the president. However, should the senate also pass the bonus, MT Roosevelt has announce ed fiatly that he will veto it. The necessary votes to override the veto can not be obtained in the
 senate. t The house revolt lad been anti cipated and led to one of the most unruly sessions since the president took office. Speaker of the House Henry T. Rainey and other admin istration leaders conceded that 1t was useless to attempt to prevent the house from passing the bill. '"rhis is nothing but a political swindle," charged Representative Hamilton Fish, republican, New York. "The veterans won't get a penny and you know it."
 Such attacks however were few and were quickly beaten down by | the bonus proponents. On the final vote many staunch democratic leaders voted with the bonus group. Favoring the bonus were 231 dem- ocrats, 59 republicans and five | farmer labor party members. Against the measure, were "A dem- ] ocrats and 51 republicans.
 There was slight possibility of
 a further outbreak on the issue. Of the "A democrats voting against sending. the bill to conference. 69 ] tConinued on Page S.)

REGISTRARS ARE NOT AT LIBERTY
 TO SEE EDITORS
Must Decline to Furnish the Records for Messrs
 Pape and Stevenson

Waterbury's registrars of voters will be unable to meet D. Robert Stevenson, editor of the Republi- can and American, at 2:15 o'clock tomorrow afternoon to allow him to go over the records of their of- fee. Yesterday afternoon MT Stew. enson filed formal requests for such permission, and set the time for the inspection, with Registrars Henry O'Connor, democrat, and Thomas Dillane, republican.
 We will be unable to see Mir Stevenson, the estimable gentle man from Feeding Hills, Mass to- morrow afternoon or at any other time," declared the registrars.
 Thus, Registrars Dillane and O'Connor threw down the gauntlet to the Pape-Stevenson drive for an inspection of the records of their office and made it as plain as pos- sible that they will stand by their guns unless ordered to change their attitude, by States Attorney L. L. Lewis or the superior court
 Democrat Exposed Fact
 The Democrat some time ago ex- posed the fact that William J.. Pape. publisher of the Republican and American, had visited States Attorney Lewis seeking warrants for the registrars. The request was not granted at the time on the grounds that sufficient evidence of improper handling of the office had not been furnished.
 Later MT Pape. accompanied by a reporter from one of his papers and a stenographer, visited the reg istrars' office and demanded that he be permitted to peruse the rec ords as a citizen and taxpayer. Registrar Hillane raised the ques- ton of MT Pape's citizenship, to which the latter replied the next day, offering to show docu- mentary proof that he was natur- alized after coming here from Eng land.
 Yesterdays letters to the two registrars were signed by MT Stew enson, who appeared for himself and other citizens. MT Pape's 8 name was not mentioned in the

The state rested after handful of witnesses had testified, and this afternoon Kaminski began testi- mony in his own defense with the statement:
 "Id face a firing. squad to save that kid brother of mine. Alec" Alexander faces death in the electric chair as result of his con- viction.
 The defendant denounced capi- tai punishment, declaring that if a mans life were taken, those con fined to the prison where the exe- cution took place would have a
 right to knock off" any guard. Referring to the death of the guard whom his brother is accused of staying, Kaminsk said that if precautions had ,been taken with
 regard to locking the jail shop, the guard would not have been killed.

 David J. Manning (whom he wounded in the right thigh) was ! responsible for the men under him
 at the jail. In his opening address to the
 jury. Kaminski said:

Naturally the army's fighting ships are not mail ships," Cham berlin said. 'The army pilots have also been hampered by an economy program so extreme that it is often difficult for officers to get in the four hours monthly necessary for flying pay. Many reserve flyers are unable to get into the air at all.
 Commercial pilots are required to have 1900 hours in the air as well as certain other qualifications There is. no reason in the world why any army pilot of similar Background cannot fly the mails. Of the seven army pilots killed only two have had more than 1000 hours in the air."
 Chamberlin said he thought that the air mail should go back into private hands when the emergency is passed.
 But there should be closer CO., operation between the army and the commercial lines and more consideration, better equipment

Nations Mixed
in Orchestra
Four Have Representation
at PretzeI Bell.

If the possibility of war in Europe
should become a reality, Walter
Altman at the Pretzel Bell will have
almost as much of a bombshell on
his hands as exists in the actual
Balkan territory.
1t happens that the present en-
tertainers at the Bell, Johnny Regal
and his gypsy serenaders, are a
most cosmopolitan group, including
within its bounds natives of four of
the European states.
The names of the group members
and their nationalitieS are as fol-
lows:
Richard Katzoff, Serbian; Victor
RukOvina, Croatian; Regal, German,
and George Hodolic, CzechoSlova-
khan.
Regal has been specializing in this
particular kind of music for the last
eight years, although his experience
in the show business dates back to
the days of the staging of Bird of
Paradise"
His group has alternated in pro-
gram music with such orcheStras as
those of Don Pedro and Emerson
Gill. They played fourteen weeks
at the Mayfair restaurant in Cleve-
land and nine weeks at the Streets
of Paris" show in the worlds fair.
The ensemble has been featured
over the NBC network with the
''Lum n Abner" sociable, on the
Henry Ford broadcasts.
Their music at the Pretzel Bell
includes selections in the Hawaiian,
Spanish and popular veins.
