utility in the big democratic ma iorities which will be present in inc 74th congress. The party is un- der terrific internal strain. Repub- lican opposition will be almost powerless acting alone. But with assistance from democratic bolters the republicans may be able to cause serious troble.
 In addition to the more conserv- ative minded democrats, mostly anti-new dealers in the senate, who may be expected to join the oppo- sition from time to time on the Roosevelt reform program, there IS a still larger democratic bloc which will try to out-do the new deal insocalled radical legislation.
 Senator Elmer Thomas, demo- crat. Oklahoma, has spoken for the senate imitation bloc. He wants fur- ther currency reform beginning with absolute government control of the federal reserve system. The federal reserve banks are owned by the thousands of commercial banks which comprise the federal reserve system. Thomas would have the government buy up all stock in the reserve banks at cost Of $lS7,- 100000. That would give the tras- ury control of credit in the Uni- ted States.
 Dollar DevaluatiOn
 Next on Thomas program is de- valuation of the dollar to the legal limit. That would reduce the dol lar in terms of gold from the pres ent level, 59.06 cents, to to cents. Then Thomas would call in the nine various types of currency in circulation and issue in substitu- ton a single paper currency back ed by the treasurer's gold and sil- yer stocks.
 Other infiationists would send new money into circulation by pay ing depositors of closed banks or by immediate cashing of war vet erans' adjusted compensation cer- tificates. Veterans compensation will give MT Roosevelt some of his most difficult problems this winter. The American Legion convention at Miami last month "recommend- ed" that the certificates be cashed and that interest accruing on exist ing loans against the certificates be cancelled.
 Legion to Fight For Cash
 But congress will not quibble over shades of meaning. Frank Belgrano, new legion commander. promises to fight for the cash. A hint of what MT Roosevelt will be

ert's sobriety at the time of the trouble and led to the discharge of the prisoner on all three charges brought by the state.
 Steinert testified yesterday that when halted by the patrolman he had given him his license, only to have the officer deny a few minutes later that he had received it. This story was confirmed by Lanosa, who said he watched the officer place the man under arrest and then punch him in the eye Q When Steinert was asked again at the police call box for his li- cense, he said Patrolman Cluney said: Don't try to get smart with me" and hit him with the black jack.
 Steinert's injury was described In court as severe scalp lacera- ton. which required three stitches to close.

 dividual and not for the entire or- ganization.
 One of the speakers at the Meri- den gathering. which will begin at o'clock at the Log Cabin grill, will be Lewis Lauria of this city, now executive secretary of the Ma tional Retail Liquor Dealers asso- citation. MT Lauria, former ex- ecutive secretary of the state asso- citation, was one of the principal speakers at the mass meeting here Tuesday afternoon. He agreed with the members present from all over the state that the association should keep out of politics and not allow itself to be used as foot ball by campaign speakers in the last minute excitement of the elec- ton campaign.
 Waterbury's tavern and restau- rant men affiliated with the state association have endeavored to make it clear that they are taking no sides in the present election campaign. Platforms of the two major parties promise liberaliza- ton of the present liquor laws.

Curry OuSted From
Tammany;; Whalen
May Be Tiger Chief
Dismissal Move viii
Strengthen Roosevelt
in New York

NEW YORK.-With an eve to-
ward the 1886 elections, Democratic
powers behind the Roosevelt adj
ministration ousted John F. Curry
Friday night from his key position
as leader in Tammany Hall.
Curry, who opposed the nomina-
ton of Roosevelt for President and
Herbert H. Lehman for Governor of
New York state, will be succeeded
by recognized dho will stand
squarely behind the administration
Of President Roosevelt and Gov
ernor Lehman"
The BUSTING of Curry will in no
sense mean a lessening of the para
site, plundering character of Tam
many. 1t means that the rulers of
the Democratic Party recognize that
Curry is too openly recognized by
the masses as crooked and corrupt,
and that a new type of "respec-
table" Tann1any must be put for
ward in the coming elections. In
addition, the new leaders of the
Tsmmany machine are anxious to
follow in the path of a closer and
more efficient tie-up with the Wall
Street interests who are clustered
around the Roosevelt government.
Edward ], Ahearn, one of the
Tammany Hall leaders and possible
successor to Curry's position, stated,
I'VE will support the national adj
ministration and work for the re-
election of Governor Lehman"
Action will be taken this week to
pick new committee to replace
Curry. According to latest reports,
Grover (Clubber) Whalen is being
groomed for Tammany leadership,
being backed by Postmaster James
Farley, the outside" force behind
the Curry dismissal.
