RoosEvELT's AUTHORITY
CONGRESS RETAINS CONTROL
THE FARM MORATORIUM
STOCK MARKET REFORMED
NRA ENDS FIRST YEAR

AS Congress adjOurns and most 81
its members go back to the people
in the hope OF reelection, the Presi
dent finds himself armed with more
power than has ever before been
accorded an executive in times a
peace. He is the recipient Of many
delegated powers given him in Ordex
to wage the nations fight for re
covery. He expects to win the bat
tie through moderate use OF the vast
grant Of this authority.
While Congress has voted the
broadest loan OF legislative powers
ever made except under a dictator
ship, the process has been cOnstitu-
tional in general aspect because the
powers thus granted n for q limit
ed period and can be taken back
whenever Congress decides to do 50.
However, this cannot be done until
the Congress meets again which, bar
ring an extra session, will be in
January, after the voters have elect
ed the membership OF the 74th Cong
ress. In the interim the president,
to an unsupported extent, will be the
government OF the United States

That his record Is the issue in nearly
every election, with ven many OF

to be classified against him, indicates
the Overwhelming backing that the
people are giving him. Moreover, his
confidence that he will win his fight
against the depression is shared by
most of the people OF the country

FRUIT STEAMER
 SANK IN HUDSON
Caught Fire in Hold at Early Hour and Soon
 Filled With Water

New York, July 27. (UP)-The United Fruit Liner Atenas sank Tn Hudson river to-day after a fire had ragged in her holds for hours. United Fruits line officials estimat- ed damage to the vessel, cargo and the dock to which 1t was tied at $500,000. The lire was discover ed about 2:20 a. m., a few hours before the Atenas was to sail for Honduras.
 Three alarms brought all avail able apparatus in the district to pier nine. Three fireboats and six tugs piled streams of water on the smouldering ship.
 Her olds filled with water, the Atenas began to list and finally she sank, stern down in the Hudson. Firemen continued to fight the flames on the bow and an hour later reported the blaze under con- trol.
 Early morning traffic along the Hudson river waterfront was re- routed. Thousands living in apart ments and tenements of the neigh bor,iood, attracted by the heavy pen of smoke, damned adjacent Uiers and dock.

NO CATTLE BEING
 SOLD IN CHICAGO
Biggest Market in World Is Idle Because of Great
 Strike

Chicago, July 27-(UP)-Forty eight hours have elapsed since a single animal has been sold in the biggest livestock market in the world. Commission firm clerks idled over empty desks and few thousand head of cattle in the yards were depleted even further while mediators unnecessarily sought to end strike of 800 live stock handlers.
 Carl Steffensen, secretary of the Regional Labor board, said after receiving a peace proposal from O.. T. Henkle, manager of the Union Livestock and Transit Go, that he was "hopefuP' of reaching an early truce.
 Tickets guarded all entrances to the huge yards, preventing move- ment of all except government cat tie. Two days ago the pens held S0,000 animals. Many died of heat, i thirst and starvation.
 Considerable cattle business was transacted at an outlying railroad yard unaffected by the strike.

Political Nelus

Governor Wilbur l.. Cross and as he has given much of his time to organization work, his chances are regarded by many leaders as being excellent. As the present chairman is ex- pected to take office August 1st, prompt action is expected.
 Out in Wolcott they are thinking of more things than the annual fair, the proposed organization of a volunteer fire-fighting brigade-or even John Crow. Some of the younger element are going ''gunning" soon when the law is off political candidates. Ac- cording to dispatches from that sector where it has been almost an open season for hunting-the young republi- cans are going to clean house. They are going to make a bid for leadership. Former Judge "Tcd" Meyer, Marty Whclan and a few more active work CTS are reported as having organized an aggressive club in the Wolcott territory and action may be anticipated.
 More action may be expected shortly on the proposal to re- place Mrs Fannie Dixon Welch as national committee woman. Mrs Nora Mahaney, president of the New Haven County Women's Democratic club, former Waterburian, is among those most prominently mentioned for the position. As Mrs Welch is holding a federal position with salary attached honors should be more widely distributed, claim the women.
 Joseph J. Dcvine, chairman of the democratic town com mittec of Bridgeport, will re- sign August 18th. And a merry race has been started for tho DOSitiOu.

The little dove of peace is lowering about the door of the democratic household and for the first time in nearly two years the Guards, Old and New, seem on the verge of reconciliation.
 Recognition has been given to Senator Augustine LOner- gan in the appointment of Da- vid A. Wilson of Hartford as special assistant to U. s. Attor- ney General Homer Cummings. Even some of the radical of the "New Guard" element would have admitted at any time since March 4, 1883, In- auguration day, that the demo- crat senator from Connecticut, should have been given prompt recognition. That patronage problem would have been and should have been settled months ago, is the consensus of opinion.
 What of Dr Edward G. Dolan? The dethroned internal revenue collector of COnnecti- cut and one of the principals in the feud, which cost State Eenator Frank Bergin, chair man of the liquor commission, the position of U. s. district attorney, is reported deter- mined on one of two things restoration of his former office, which Senator LOnergan may not approve, or the democratic nomination for U. $. senator, which the "Old Guard" is not likely to agree to. As for the position of U. S. marshal the Manchester dentist is reported not being the least bit inter- estcd.

Today a young man appeared at the compensation court and desired to file application for claim. Upon questioning it was learned the young man was injured more thar year ago, and under the present compensation law, he is debarred from recovery.
 The compensation law says that claims against employers must be filed within year after injury is received.
 Commissioner Lynch believes the tardy claims being filed is due to the fact that the injured persons do not know the law themselves and that doctors treating the pa- tients do not happen to bring it to mind,
