Federal Government With= holds Funds for City
 Project in New Orleans

New Orleans, La, Nov 17.-(UP) First repercussions of Senator Huey P. Longs dictatorship struck New Orleans today.
 The federal government stated it was temporarily withholding funds for a municipal project and chain store company announced it's all but complete withdrawal from the local field.
 This city, whose municipal gov ernment was stripped of practical ly all power by the Long controlled legislature, was quiet-"saying lit tie, thinking much" as one prom inent citizen told the United Press.
 The newspapers, all bitterly op- posed to the Long regime, had lit tie comment. Why comment why shout into a cistern?" was the private comment of one sub-editor.
 The attitude of the old regular democratic machine, in control of the machinery of local government which now has little to govern, was one of Encouragement. Apparent ly, the kingfish had this opposition stified.
 The Scnulte CISdr oIoio NoA poration announced that because of high chain store taxes passed by the Long legislature, it was closing three of it's four local stores immediately, and was keeping the fourth open only temporarily" 4 store in Baton Rouge also will re main open for the present.

General Survey of City Is Ordered - NOOnan to

ALL NIGHT, DAY
 PARKERS PROBLEM
Hour Limit May Be Rule on Nearly All Streets
 in City

A general survey of parking conditions all over the city, with a view to remedying present abuses is expected to be begun soon by the board of police commissioners. The opening step in the general campaign has already been taken in the naming of Com missioner Michael Noonan as a committed of one to study the parking situation in the vicinity of Waterville, Johnson and Sperry streets With the compile ton of this and similar surveys of other sections of the city, 1t Is con- sidered more than a probability that sweeping changes in the pres ent parking rules for Waterbury may be invoked.
 One Hour Parking
 One member of the board of po- lice commissioners has already gone on record as favoring the es- of a rule which would limit parking to one hour in al- most every street in the city. Though such a rule will hardly be 1t shows the sentiment current in official circles for atightening- on the present parking rules.
 Among the important points to be considered in a general survey of parking in Waterbury are all- night parking, time-limit parking in the business section, restricted area parking. all of which have been moot points of contention. of drives against all-night parking in front of resi- dences have been forthcoming several times in the past, but little real enforcement was ever at- tempted. Rules against all-night parking would have the support of garage and parking station own CTS, who have made informal pro- tests against street garages" sev- eral times.
 Time Limits Vary
 Time limit parking in the busi- ness section has in the past proved to be difficulty almost impossible of solution. In most parts of the business district, wherever park ing is allowed. a 45-minute time limit has been set. Several places, notably the north side, of the green, can De. used for two-hour parking by. drivers. Some streets, notably Grand street, from Field street to the railroad station, have no time limit on parking, and finding of parking place after 3 o'clock in the morning is usually impossible in that sector.
 At present all violators of the parking ordinances pay dollar, the fee having been reduced from $2. Now under tentative consid- eration is a rule whereby ordinary parking violations would still be assessed $1, while parking in a re- stricted area would cost the driv- CT $3l or more. Parking in re- stricted areas, such as near, fire hydrantsl and driveways, has caused humber of accidents here.

Washington, Nov. 17-UP)- Industrialists who six months ago politically and pripately predicted the complete collapse of the New Deal, today pledged their whole hearted support to the president.

 Business, through its surprising but not unexpected gesture, indica- ted 1t was convinced MT. Roosevelt would remain in the White House at least six more years. It also re- vealed a desire for an alliance with the president, rather than pin faith on the incoming congress which, many believe, will display ideas that will make the New Deal look. reactionary by comparison.
 The chamber made its announce ment late yesterday, but its action was first revealed in United Press dispatch last Wednesday,. This dispatch reported that finance and commerce had studied the election and decided to join bank CTS in supporting the administra- ton.
 Actual announcement of the &C., ton by the chamber was dramatic. It was made more so by the fact that Silas Fl. Strawn, the pillar of the chambers conservatism, lead ing republican and close friend or Herbert Hoover. chose to make the statement personally.
 Strawn explained the resolu- ton meant simply that the cham Der proposed a 'huddle" between business, agriculture and others to draw up a program for permanent recovery, fair to all. It would he submitted then to the president.

Fight Comes Over IntrO- duction of Tax Records
 in Rebuttal Evidence
"MIDDLEWEST DIDN'T
 HAVE A DIME" IN 1929
Weeks Continuance Is Asked If U. s. Goes Into
 Tax Records

Chicago, November IF
 (UP) = Samuel, Insults at torney and assistant attorney, General Leslie Salter, clashed today during the closing hours of testimony in the Insull mail fraud trial.
 Floyd E. Thompson, chief figure among defense law years fought to prevent the government from introducing rebuttal evidence dealing with federal income tax records of Middle West Utilities Company.
 Salter, through questioning of A. E. Sweeney, government ac- countant, sought to show that the middle west company was totter- ing in 1929 and that Corporation Securities was organized in a des- perate effort to stave off ruin of the entire -billion-dollar Insult empire.
 Isn't it a fact that if the same depreciation had been shown on the books of Middle West as was shown in the company's income tax returns in 1929, the concern would have gone under?" the assistant attorney general asked Sweeney.
 Before Sweeney had an oppor- tunity to reply or produce the bun dle or records which lay at his feet, Thompson was shouting ob- jetcions.
 During the argument Salter claimed that Middle West didn't have dime" in 1929. It was not until three years later that the company went into receivership.
 Judge James H. Wilkerson, af- ter listening to heated arguments of the attorneys, ruled that Sween- ey's testimony was admissible.
 Thompson jumped to his feet.
 "Then if the government insists Middle West will ask weeks continuance in the case" he an nounced.
 Salter, a puzzled frown on his face, turned to the bench. "If MT. Thompson is sincere in that statement then will with draw the witness. ' sx Sweeney stepped down from the stand and the government aban- doned it's efforts to refute testimony of Samuel Insull, ST., and his son. Samuel, dr., that Middle West was not insolvent at the time the government claims the Insults and their IS co-defendants were en- gineering a $143.00O,000 fraud.

Anna Morris, the only defense witness, unwittingly proved the un- doing of herself and her friend, when, after defense counsel, Atty Joseph Guilfoile, had launched in to brilliant oratory to show that phrenology was not fortune tell ing but an exact science, she was forced >to confess that she didn't know exactly what phrenology was. In fact, she had to submit to Pros ecutor Mitchell Meyers, she didn't even know how to spell 1t.
 Arrested Yesterday The two gyspy girls were arrest ed yesterday by Detective Sergt. Henry Johnson and Detective Con- nie Shanahan. They were charged with engaging in fortune telling and being public nuisances, being arrested at a place they had rent ed at PCT Bank street.
 Testimony for the state was giv- en by Roland Kenny, an imnligra- ton inspector, who confessed rue fully that the nomads had done him out of a total of 95 cents.
 StOry's Like This
 The story, according to Kenny; was like this: He was on Bank street yesterday afternoon and was attracted by the signs in a store window advertising phrenology readings. After a while, he went in.
 The younger gypsy, Rosie, asked him several questions, which he answered in fashion decidedly wrong. The other gypsy, Anna, then made her appearance, and felt his head for bumps. Then she told him all the false information he had just given to Rosie. For this, he agreed to pay a quarter.
 Grabbed the Money
 The two girls then asked him how much money he had and he took out eight or ten dollars, keep ing very close watch on it. In one hand he held $1.20;in silver, which one of the girls grabbed. The money, he said with a blush, dis appeared inside Anna's dress.
 He told Anna he wanted his money, but Anna sort of shrugged her shoulders as if to say 50 what?" She invited him eand he blushed again) to look for his money if he wanted, but he de- clined the invitation.
 Was Out D0 cents
 When the process came to an end, Kenny was out 95 cents and was still a bit crimson about the face.
 Anna told the judge a very diff ferent story She hinted that the money-hidings idea Ewassea eanot hers but that of Kenny. It was at this point that Anna gave away the show by not being able to spell the name of the science" she was practicing.
 Judge Mascolo looked at the red. yellow, blue and green outfits the girls were wearing, told them very frankly he didn't believe their story. People like you," he said, .'are menace to this community, and you're going to get out and stay out"
 Kenny was still out his s5 cents o ffor court
