Date Set for Next Friday By Judge Cornell To-day Payment of Memorandums Would Bring Substantial
 LiquidatiOn - H. L. Bond Plan Satisfactory

time the bank closed, have been 1iquidated.
 In the matter of Home Loan Bonds, Attorney Reeves told the court what had been done in the matter of liquidating savings de. posits. He said approximately $46O,000 worth of accounts had been liquidated by the acceptance on the part of depositors of the Home Loan bonds. This is high ly satisfactory plan to the receiver, Attorney Reeves said.
 He asked, and got, permission to continue to exchange the bonds, as they are acquired, with depositors. for an indefinite period. He said depositors representing savings &C., counts of& 5out $100,000 have ap- piled foT bonds since December 30th, the date set for the accept ance of the applications.
 These depositors will be taken care of as the receiver accumulates more bonds.
 The bonds will be accumulated by the sale of any asset of the Mer- chants Trust company tpar. The bonds are quoted today at 96 and a fraction. The depositors offer their deposits at IS per cent dis count for the bonds. In two months time, Attorney Reeves, said, the appraised assets rose in value over liabilities by $103,0O0 through the bond-depositor ex- change plan.

Following an increase in the in. comes of tenants, Lossiemouth, Scotland, is raising rents of muni- cipa1 houses.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-02-02

Steps were taken by the receiver for the Merchants Trust company today to get some action on the payment, of approximately $90O.O0O worth of unsecured notes which are held as assets of the closed bank. Attorney Francis T. Reeves, coun. sel for the receiver, the Citizens & Manufacturers National bank, got authority from Judge John A. Cor nell for a hearoing to take place next Friday afternoon in superior court at which time an attempt will be made to present the picture of the uncoilected noets to the court.
 Attorney Reeves told Judge Cor nell today that he payments on the notes have dried up. The notes represent considerable item. which if collected would he said help to bring about a substantial liquidation.
 Attorney Reeves pointed out that the receiver is in an unusual sit- uation. He explained that the re- ceiver did not wish to institute suit, for 1t might mean the clos ing up of a business which even- tually might be able to take care of it's obligation. He mentioned one specific case where the note Is in the amount of $20,000. If suit were brought, he said, 1t would mean a paddock on the door, and the collection of the note would then be nullified.
 MT Reeves stated that if the court could set a date for an in- formal hearing during which a number of the cases would be pre- scented, the court could perhaps au- thorize the receiver as to just what action would be needed to bring results.
 Judge Cornell suggested that a week from this afternoon at 2 o'clock might be the best time.
 The court instr lcted MT Reeves to notify 150 of the makers of these notes of the hearing next week so that they will be aware of what is being done.
 Attorney Reeves said that ap- proximately 46 per cent of the un- secured notes held as assets at the

 "3-It invites defensive, if not retaliatory measures by the other principal commercial nations and the race to secure temporary trade advantage through the devaluation process seems almost certain to lead to an uncomfortable imitation of world prices which would end in disaster for all.'
 The revival of business, Dr Meeker believes, will be accompan- jed by increased earnings for the workers, who will be able to pay "highr prices in 1884 more easily than they could pay the bargain prices of 1882 and 1933-.
 "Of course a 50 cent dollar can- not buy as much as a 100 cent dollar" says pr Meeker, but one 60 cent dollar in the workers hand is worth more than all the 100 cent dollars which have been locked up in bank vaults during the past four years where they benefited nobody"
 Another major effect of the de- valuation will be the end of what ever control of the monetary and credit situation the federal reserve board and the federal reserve

JAMES REED MAY
 RUN FOR SENATOR
Famous MissOurian Seeks to Be Candidate for Old
 Job This Fall
By RICHARD l.. FAIRNESS United Press Stan Correspondent )

(UNItcO FfeSS St8M OOFre6pOnOenC1
 Jefferson City, Mo (UP)-James A. Reed, Missouri's former United States senator whose fiery temper and vitrolic tonue made him fa- nous throuhgout the nation, is list ed as a candidate for his old posi- ton in the election this fall.
 If the 74-year- veteran does run, he will make a race spectacu- lar enough to enliven the cam- paign. If he is elected, the Roose- welt administration will find an out spoken critic on it's hands.
 Political observers at the state capitol here are predicting that Reed will come out of the retire. ment which he started in 1882 when his presidential boom at the Chicago democratic convention de- veloped into nothing more than a loud noise before the Roosevelt band wagon.
 They point to the former sen- ator's recent marriage to Mrs Nell Donnelly, wealthy Kansas City dress manufacturer, as an indica- tion his hat already is on the edge of the senatorial ring. The new Mrs R d is an astute politician in her own right, and would be a competent aid to her husband.
 Although "Old Jim" already has issued some scathing attacks on 'Rooseveltian policies and likes nothing bette rthan to aim his parked sarcasm at the presidents brain trust," the administration has given out the word from Washington that it will not oppose Reed.
 Reeds chief opponents, 1t ap- pears now, will be Charles M. How ell, Kansas City, who was defeated in 1882 by Bennett Champ Clark, and Willis H. Meredith, speaker of the house of representatives of the state legislature.
 Senator Roscoe Patterson, repub- lican, also is slated to make the race.

MODERN RADIO
HERALDED BY
CRYSTAL SETS
Even Earlier Forerunner
Was MarConi'S
Wireless.

It's far cry from the little crys-
tai set or one-peanut tube radio
home made usually by the teen
age boy of the family, to the mar
velous radio receivers offered to the
public this year. What wonders we
thought those crude tenaperamental
little devices were! And what a
thrill it was to sit in your own
home and hear the dance band at
the downtown hotel, or the station
in the next city 200 miles away.
Even before this, Marconi had
made the first crude beginnings of
radio, then called wireless" by
sending dots and dashes over the
ether at the naval station, Airing
ton, Va, which was then almost the
only broadcast station in the United
States, and thousands of hams"
over the land had their biggest
moment of the day listening to Ar
lington send the time signals at
10 p m.
Receivers of those days looked
like one Of Goldberg's "nutty'' in
ventions. Masses of coiled tubing,
tuning coils and dials and buttons
galore made the early day receiver
a thing of mystery and wonder.
Tuning Slow and Difficult
Ard tuning a stationary station,
near or far-waS complicated and
long drawn out process. Absolute
quiet was essential-no talking in
the room was permitted, else the
operator could not hear the weak,
tiny thread of voice that came
family through the ear-phones, and
must be encouraged and amplifled
by patient twirling of many dials.
And when finally the signal was
located and its maximum strength
obtained, the operator would hand
you the phones and say, Listen"
If you listened with all the con-
centration you could muster, you
could Just manage to make out that
it was some one talking, and at
least part of the time could under
stand what was being said.
It's Different Today
Contrast this with today. The
new Grunow receiver in your home
is a beautiful piece of furniture;
only three or four knobs are visible,
and one small dial.
Yet from it, and in small frac-
ton of the time required in those
early days. you can listen to any
station on the air, at any point on
the globe. You flick switch and
the power from your light socket
flows into the receiver.
Turn the knob of the Signal Bea-
con, that marvellous tuning device
that finds the station for you, listen
for the low frequency note of the
carrier wave, then flick on the knob
that gives you voice or music, and
there floats out from the speaker
grill the mystic voice of India, or
Rome, with MusSolini speaking.
No noise, no interference, no dill
ficulty or delay in tuning any sta
ton your fancy may select. London
is as clear as your local station-the
familiar notes of Big Ben might be
the town clock of your own home
town, so clear and natural are they.

WORLDS TIME PLAN
EXPLAINED TO HELP
RADIO ENTHUSIASTS

We all know that the United
States is divided into four time
zones, eastern. central, noun
tain and Pacific, and when it
is IL noon at Chicago it is l
p. m. at New York. Similarly,
when it is II noon at Chicago,
it is IL a. m. at Denver and 10
a. m. at San Francisco.
When it is II noon in Chi
cago, it is 6 p. m. in Paris and
IL at Bombay, india.
Going west from Chicago, We
find that when it is u noon
there, it is 6 a. m. in the Ha-
waiian Islands, and / a. m. at
Manila, P. I.
In tuning for far distant sta
tons it is a good plan to con-
suit a radio log to see if the
station desired is on the air
at the time Of tuning.
