CHRISTMAS CLUB
 CHECKS RECEIVED
Over Third of Million Dole lars Distributed By
 Local Banks

Checks totaling almost one third of a million dollars were be- ing received today throughout the city by local subscribers to the Christmas clubs sponsored by the various banks of Waterbury. In all, more than $323,00O in checks were received today by the mem- bers of the clubs. This means that this amount of money will during the Christmas holidays be dis pensed in various ways.
 It is figured that a very large percentage will go for the purchase of Christmas gifts and that an- other great share will go to local merchants as payments on back accounts. Landlords owed rent money and the city, which is owed back taxes, are also expected to benefit.
 The Waterbury Savings bank had the largest number of checks to send out in Waterbury, with a total of $240,000 distributed. The Citizens and Manufacturers Ma tional bank came second with a figure of $43,000. Next came the Waterbury Trust company with d figure of $30,00O and the final fig ure was that of the Waterbury Ma tional bank, with total of $10,0e0 for distribution.

Midwest Stunned at Police Revelation = More
 Arrests Due

Tulsa, Okla, Dec 3 - (U.P)- New arrests in the breakup of an alleged gang of amateur criminals formed from adventure-seeking scions of "the best" families were promised by police to-day.
 Already held were Phillip Ken namer, 19, son of Federal Judge Franklin E. Kennamer, charged with murdering John Gorrell, 2S, son of a prominent physician, and Wade Thomas, owner of night club patronized by youths of veal thy families, who was charged with being the "brains" of the gang.
 Thomas, police said, made practice of involving young men of prominent families in gambling games. The young men always lost, police charged, and many owed Thomas large sums they could not pay. :,
 Gorrell, police said, was killed because he was suspected of "chis- cling in' on a kidnap plot direct ed against H. F. Wilcox, millionaire oil man. His body was found in his motor car last Tuesday night. Young Kennamer surrendered Sat urday, saying he killed Gorrell in self-defense.
 The elder Kennamer. celebrated for stern sentences meted out to moonshiners and other violators of the law, was stunned.
 Heury B. Maddux, detective in charge of the investigation, said the staying and events behind it had such wide notifications that he would ask the federal depart- ment of justice for aid. Holly An derson, county prosecutor. said Kennametr and Gorrell had both been members of a gang formed of well-born youths.
 "Gorrell and Kennamer fell out" Anderson said. "Kennamer killed Gorrell because Gorrell knew too much about his past activities and because he felt Gorrell. who had started a gang of his own in Kan sas City. was going to come back to Tulsa and engineer some extortion plots. Kennamer considered it an infringement of his territory"
 Gorrell left, Tulsa last September to attend Western Medical College in Kansas City. He returned home last Tuesday to spend the holidays with his parents. Dr and Mrs John Gorrell

STRAND

The Strands double feature pro- gram today and tomorrow is head- lined by "The Count of Monte Cristo," starring Robert Donat. the Naugatuck lad who in few short years has attained screen stardo1n.
 The thrilling story of Edmond Dantes, the young Frenchman, torn from his sweetheart's arms by his enemies and unjustly imprisoned and left to rot in the grim Cha- teau d'If, is made to order for Donat, and Elissa Landi is ideally cast the girl, Mercedes. How, when Dantes has lost hope of ever see- ing daylight again, the sage, old Abbe Faria who occupies the next cell, tells him of a secret treasure buried on the Island of Monte Cristo. and educates him so that when he finally escapes he may face the world a superman; how Dantes escapes, following the good Abbe's death. locates the treasure. and returns, fabulously wealthy man, to visit slow and sweet re- venge on each of the three enemies responsible for his misery, is per- haps too well-known to reQuQire re-telling here.
 Louis Calhern, Sidney Blackmer and Raymond Walburn, are su- perbly villainous as the black hearted de Villefort. Mondego and Danglars, respectively: Irene Her. vey is charming as the sweetheart of Mercedes young son, and Will Ham Farnum makes promising comeback in the role of Captain Leclere.

 Comments have been heard about the approaching winter sea- son that brings with it sliding. It has been necessary in the past few years for residents to travel to the aWterbury Country club and to Bunker Hill to participate in this sport without endangering life and limb.
 It is known that the clergymen in these sections, namely, Rev. Eu- gent F. Cryne, Rev. Joseph J. Val antiejus and Rev. Michal Lynch are interested in the formation of a community group and would well come an opportunity to be of as- sistance should the situation re- quire their aid.
 Organizations with an advanced membership plan to get behind the leaders of the movement and take active steps at their next regular meetings. The Brooklyn A. C., Knights of Lithuania, Lithuanian Independent Political club, Holy Name societies of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, St. Patrick and St. Joseph parishes plan to endorse the drive and hundreds of individuals in- tend to assist.
 Several community leaders vii. gather within the next week to formulate plans for a mass meet ing to take place shortly. The will be announced and it is expected that several hundred people will be present to hear talks given by residents of other such or ganiZations.
