Naugatuck, Feb 19--St Francis
church had q good year financially,
Rev John J. Fitzgerald said yester-
day In his annual report. The re-
port had been delayed because Of
q slight illness of the pastor.
The church paid all its debts for
The year, including a debt of near
~ $4,000 for redecorating and maxi
ing many improvements. and had a
surplus at the end of the year of
$500 the pastor reported.
He said the church had q good
year spiritually also. He thanked
the parishioners for their cooper
alton during the past year and
asked them to continue this assist
ance in the present year.
"A The church enjoyed the best
financial year since 1929 said the
pastor. The splendid showing of
the church in this way is due to
the exceptionally fine cooperation
given by the parishioners he adj
ded. He attributed the spiritual
condition of the church to the large
degree OF faith held by the par
3shoners.
49, Sixteen Deaths
There were 8 deaths in Nauga-
tuck last month, the report for
January, of vital statistics. made
known today showed. There were
10 births, five males and five fe-
males and only five marriages.
Ten of the deaths were males
and six were females. Heart disease
was the major cause of death, 10
having died from that last month.
Together with the number who
have succumbed from this cause
this month 1t would seem that this
disease is rapidly reducing the To-
cal population.
There was one death from cere-
bral hemm orrhage, one from scar
let fever, one from bronchitis, one
from tuberculosis and one from
other causes.
Two Court Cases
The case of Max Fray of Cliff
street, accused of operating a mo-
tor vehicle without license, was
continued in court today until to-
morrow. He was arrested last night
by officers Walter Lysiekicz and
games Fenton of the motor patrol.
Joseph Bauser of Lines Hill was
fined $50 and costs of $13.26 on a
charge of evading responsibility.
However $45 was RENTED by Dep
Saty Judge Hugh Hearns, who pre-
sided. Bauser was also arrested
last night by the motor patrol.
Mrs. Poole Here
One of the most important meet
engs Of the Naugatuck Woman's
liib will be held this afternoon at
o'clock at Pythian hall. A mid
&fnter tea will be held and Mrs.
Eraee Morrison Poole, national
head Of the Women's clubs in the
NJnited States, will be the speaker.

consisting of several selections by
Mrs. Roy Bunting, who is well
known in the borough as singer.

Local Man HOnOred
Loco! friends of Fred Ashmore,
Jr.. of Carroll court win be pleased
to hear of his election Saturday as
captain of the Waterbury "Y" vol
ley ball team. The local lad is one
of the dependable players of the
team, playing as a "set up" man.
He was formerly player with
the Naugatuck YMCA team. Water
bury Is ranked by many as the
best team In the state.
Relief administration has in
formed superintendent of Schools
Harold Il. Chittenden that the FRA
program will continue in the local
schools as is it now until further
notice, the school superintendent
today announced.
He received a letter this morn
ing from Washington headquarters
to that effect. The letter further
said the total FRA program would
have to be cut, but added that this
would not be done until next week
and that Mr.. Chittenden would be
advised then as to whether Maui
gatuck will be affected by the cuts.
Although this news does not
state definitely that the local FRA
classes will not be affected, 1t
should serve to dispel fears for q
time at least that sever cuts might
be had here. These had been
aroused last week by news of re-
ported CWA cuts.
A telegram to the effect that
CWA 'ork in the borough would
continue as usual until further no.
tice, was received by the CWA ad-
ministration here last week. NO
new reports concerning 1t have yet
been received.
The local CWA quota now is $50
persons. Because Naugatuck Is an
Industrial town it Is not expected
to be affected as soon as some
other towns in the country.

New York, Feb. 19-Trading on
the stock exchange fell of sharply
today with sales we'll under the 81
900, O0O-share mark while prices
moved irregularly with no definite
trend in any division.
Many traders remained on the
sidelines pending Qualification of
many uncertainties now oyerhang-
ing the market, including the regu-
Iation bill, decision of a Texas
court against the oil code, liquor
pool Investigations, and airmatl
Cancellations. Then, too, the fact
the market had risen for five sue
cess days led many to believe
a technical correction was due.
The opening was irregularly
higher, followed Immediately by a
rally in which the oils and steels
made the best showing. Before the
end of the first hour a reaction set
in but volume decreased on the
selling and the market thereafter
Jagged along Without interest on
either the buying or the selling
side.
Business news was featured by
the items from the steel industry
where operations were reported
at AZ per cent of capacity by the
magazine Steel" a rise Of 126 per
cent over the 10 per cent pre-
vailing year ago. The YounGs-
town district began the week at 81
per cent, up 8 points.
Silver featured the commodities
spot making new high for more
than four years, while futures rose
4 to IS points. Silk, hides and cop.
per futures were higher. Wheat
and other grains sold soft. Cotton
also was down moderately. The
dollar fiuctuated irregularly. Bonds
were higher. ,.,...

PASTOR SAID HIS
DAUGHTER WAS
WE'D TO BANDIT
Match Clergy Thinks She
Was Killed-Married to
Needham Suspect

Boston, Feb 19-UP)-The Rev
Norman Brighton, Natick minister,
has disclosed that his 10 year old
daughter, Norma. Is the wife OF
Murton Millen, 25, of Roxbury, one
of two missing brothers sought by
state police for questioning in con-
nection with the recent Needham
bank robbery and double murder
The minister conferred with po-
lice after it had been reported that
q woman's hat, pocketbook and Il
bloodstained hammer had been
found on bridge in North Eyre
mont, in western Massachusetts, in
dicating that a woman may have
been slain there. His fears that
his daughter may have met with
foul play were increased by the
fact that another daughter, Thel-
ma, vanished five years ago at the
age of 1S and has never been heard
from.
Murton Millen and his brother,
Irving, 81, are alleged to have had
battery adjustments made and q
radio set installed in the large
black sedan used by the four gun
men who killed two policemen in
robbing $4,000 from the Needhnm
Trust company on February 2. The
brothers vnaished when sought
for questioning, and Murton and
his bride were reported to have
'eluded police when located in a
Back Bay apartment house last
week.
Norma Brighton eloped with
Millen after a short acquaintance
last fall, the Rev Brighton dis
closed. A girl of education and re-
finement, she met the young radio
man while her father held a RoX-
bury pastorate and eloped with
him because of her desire for en-

lived in Des Moines, Ia. The min
ister's divorced wife is now Mrs

health than 1t has ever known before.
Now we begin to understand how
and why this world, only Is years
removed from the last terrible war,
with all its consequent burdens and
sorrow, is spending more money get
ting ready for more war than 1t ever
spent in peace time before. We begin
to see why our own country sets
the pace in this preparedness game
by having increased its annual mill
tary maintenance costs since 1913
by 1877 per cent, while Italy. Great
Britain, France and Russia have
ranged from 80 to A per cent. Now
we learn a little Of what is behind
these everlasting and annual pro-
grams of loud national defense talk
Now perhaps we see more clearly that
this mad race in armanents Is pushed
and encouraged by those who profit
through the sale OF ornaments.
Do the facts uncovered by the in
vestigation anger you as they do me?
1t Is but natural that they would, be-
cause we and our children must foot
the bill. 1t goes against the grain
when we discover that the cause of
national defense the world over has
been seized upon as the disguise of
greedy hands bent along upon winning
profit-profit which is the greatest
when blood flows thickest.
Government Control.
Well, what are we going 10 do about
it? Were time mine, should willingly
tell what I see as possible means of
remedy. Those means must needs
deal with the taking of profit out Of
Evening star., 1934-10-04

war and preparation for 1t. The most
effective way to do this Is to make
the government the sole munitions
maker and to write now, not after
we've gone to war, law which will Ak
the rates of taxation to apply upon
incomes automatically with . declara-
ton of war. Make these rates double
existing rates on incomes up to $40 900
and 90 per cent on all income over that
amount. Do that and then observe
the number Of jingoists diminish; see
then what strength will come to effort
to stay out Of war; do that and then
enjoy seeing those who profit from
them paying the costs Of wars In q
larger way.
II we fail utterly to curb the NUM-
tions industry, let US resign ourselves
to continued programs Of arming boys
with guns to defend the country
against foes our industrialists have
armed with like guns, with gas masks
to defend themselves against the gases
our munitions makers have made and
sold to other lands and with steel
helmets to protect the heads Of the
boys against shrapnel and shell our
profit hungry manufacturers have sold
to our possible foes.
1t would be unfair to say that NUM-
tions makers were wholly responsible
for wars, for they are not. But it can
be said with large justification that
the danger CT more war can be very
greatly reduced by simply removing
the element Of profit from prepared
ness and the prospect Of any profit
for any one from war.

huge profit flowing to those who make
and sell the things entering into ma
tional defense programs and the wag-
ing of war. These costs and profits
constitute a burden upon civilization
which grows heavier year by year.
One American aircraft producer Is
shown with an original capital invest
ment of $1,000. Largely through the
cooperation of naval experts and en-
gineers, this company developed an
air-cooled engine. In 1926 this COM
pany enjoyed 100 per cent Of its busi-
ness from the United States Navy.
The returns from this venture down to
and including 1882, on the basis of the
81 900 investment, was l,143,725 per
cent, and this is not inclusive of the
capital increase in the value Of the
original 5000 shares of stock. Who
but the Government was responsible
for this great profit? Be it remem-
bered that this gain is a peace-time
accomplishment.
The four years of the World War
paid another American munitions
concern something more than an aver
age Of 100 per cent per year upon its
investment This war profit paid its
executives handsome salaries, mil
lions in bonuses, and annual dividends
averaging about so per cent per year.
With the balance the corporation went
looking for investments which would
be profitable. BY reason of its war
profits, that company today owns or
controls scores of lesser corporations.
In such corporations in which it has
made investment Of 0,000 or more
in each, it now has total investment
of well over 100000. Only a
small part of this could be theirs but
for the fact that they reaped rich
profits from the conflict that was tax
ing so many lives. While the blood
flowed most freely upon the fields Of
battle their profits rolled in the larger.
We have learned that foreign mis-
Sionaries can be and are very helpful
in the sale of the munitions Of war.
tions maker has a missionary brother
down in South or Central America
who delights in demonstrating his
brothers products to generals and
ministers of war, and advising on the
best means of sales. In this case, en-
countered by the committee, it is diff
ficult to determine just which is this
mans sideline, his work as a mis-
Sionary or his work as a bomb sales
man. am happy that experiences of
this kind are very clearly not the rule
but the exception, in the missionary
field.
Peace on Clutches"
Missionaries, Government officials,
Army and Navy officers, international
affiliations, smuggling and spying, cash
commissions, teaSerS and bribeS, the
breeding of fear and suspicion, the
growth of national defense into threat
ened offense, take these, piece them to-
gether, each in its place. and we have
the picture and machinery which men
paint and build to enrich themselves
through the sale of munitions Of war
Little wonder, as my colleague, Senator
Vandenberg put it, Little wonder
Peace walks on crutches" Yes, indeed
little wonder that the cause of peace
remains a constant invalid while wal

Judge H. ]. GranniS, who heard the
case of Ben p. johnson In this city
two weeks ago, on Saturday ordered
that a writ Of mandamus be issued
commanding the City of Ely to appoint
Ben P. johnson as city truck driver
under the soldiers preference law.
Judge Grannis in his opinion handed
down found that the city officers had
ignored Johnson's application for the
job last December 30, when he was en-
titled to special consideration under the
soldiers preference act.
The City of Ely was further ordered
by Judge Grannis to pay Johnson S.
per working day from January to May
6. On January Ely hired non-service
men as truck drivers, the complaint
alleged.
