 No Amount Specified
 No specified amount is asked by the receiver for the services rem dered, Attorney William F. Thoms in presenting the applica- tion two weeks ago, stating ne would leave the amount to be de- termined by the court.

Formal Answer Given To Communist Leader
 By Chairman Harris
Following Survey of Conditions Committee Finds It Impossible to Meet Demands as Made By
 Applicants to Aldermanic Board

Demands of Charles Campbell, communist organizer, who claims to represent 125 Mutual Aid em- ployes, for substantial increases in allotments were answered this morning in a formal communica- : tion on behalf of the Mutual Aid Unemployment Fund by William M. Harris, chairman of the execu- tive committee.
 The letter points out that in view of the fact that the association has been having difficulty in maintain ing an adequate balance for the past several weeks. it would be i'm possible to extend the relief pro- gram at present.
 Signed by Campbell, and a com mittee purported to represent 125 Mutual Aid employees and which included Pasquale Sorbo, Abel San- tos, Anthony Gedraitis, Guido Av- elloni and George Borgnis, the pe- tition was presented to MT Harris Monday. All of the signers, with the exception of Campbell, are Mutual Aid workers. It reads as follows:
 We demand an increase in both cash and food relief of per cent, and also not less than one ton of coal per month for each unem- pioyed family, or its equivalent in fuel oil; not less than one pint Of milk for each person, and ade- quate clothing"

 Midnight Mass Ban

There will be no midnight mass In any of Waterbury's Catholic churches next MOn- day evening. Official notice af. fecting the entire diocese is published in the current issue of the Catholic Transcript. The departure from the cus- tom of former years is com mented on editOrially by the Transcript as follows:
 NO MIDNIGHT MASSES
 There Is to be no midnight mass in the diocese of Hart- ford this year. That's the epis- copal ruling. Most of us think that it is a good ruling. There is a sort of thrill to the mid- night mass, but thrills do not get us anywhere. Thrills come and go more often for our harm than for our good. Nor is the midnight mass an ex- ceptfOn. A Christmas eve ca- rousal is as bad and as dis graceful as a Sunday night ca- rOusal. "A carOusal is a ca. rousaI, with or without drink, and the nativity holidays have their full share of them. Some drink deeply, before the mid- night mass-much deeper after the midnight mass. What sort of Christmas follows? Ask

ployes who were retained to carry on the receivership, of $41,925.65.
 Should Work Gratis
 MT Blansfield said 1t should be the patriotic duty of bank receiv- CTS to render services in the liqui- dation of a banks affairs, at no charges. He quoted several pass ages from a report of the judicial council to Governor Cross. stating the council struck blow at the high cost of receiverships by rec ommending that in each of the larger counties one judge should be assigned throughout the year to take charge of receiverships, that the proceedings should be ln- formal and conducted in chambers and that wherever possible general orders should pe substituted for orders granted on motion.
 MT Blansfield argued that the moneys paid to the receiver have been charge to depositors of the closed bank. He did not question the amount paid Attorney Reeves recalling that the former receiver s counsel devoted practically all of his time in the conduct of the re- ceivership. He asked, "what has the receiver done that anyone else could not have done? their ex- perience did not help any = the hardest part of the receivershlp IS coming"
 Conserving Heavy Assets
 Mir Moore in a statement made after court, pointed out that the receiver had in it's keeping the conservation of seven and hail million dollars worth of assets. During the time the receiver has been in charge, MT Moore said, banking net profit of $205,00O has | been realized through steps made In banking procedure. This is pc culiarly a fact that ccannot De claimed by any other bank re- ceiver in the state, he said.
 He explained that the total cost of the receivership during its three years of existence is but $l7,ooo. One-thfrd of that cost has been the payment of taxes, MT Moore said, The receiver has realized an income from payment on notes mortgages and interest of $425,OO0.
 Presents Financial Picture
 MT Moore said that the picture of the Merchants Trust Company can better be understood by show ing that of the banks present as- sets, three-quarters of a million are in mortgages, three-quarters or a million in real estate, one-half million in unsecured notes and the remaining assets represented by stocks, bonds and other securities.
 MT Moore told Judge Cornell m another case in which the recelver is interested that it would do the receiver no good to foreclose, be- cause then the receiver would nave real estate on its hands that IS impossible to dispose of today. l! is MT Moore's opinion that real estate depreciated about 40 per cent during the depression.

in answer to the request of the committees,
 ''In reference to the com munication which a committee of your organization present. ed to me on Monday, Decem- Der IT, have been advised by the Executive Committee of the Mutual Aid Fund to state that we are merely the organ ization through which those who are employed, and their employers, contribute weekly to a fund for distribution to those who ned assistance.
 May I point out also that the responsibility for adequate relief in the community Is a governmental function and the Mutual Aid Fund is private organization. An applicant to the latter knows in advance the amount of assistance that will be granted him, and if he considers 1t inadequate, he has the alternative of applying for government aid, either city, state or national.
 Tn view of the fact that we have been struggling for several weeks to maintain an adequate balance, it Is evident that the funds at our disposal do not permit an extension of our relief program at this time.I
