Il VIDENTLY President Roosevelt
- has begun to waver on the adj
visibility Of permanent bank de-
pCSit insurance. Washington dis
patches recently stated that he had
asked Representative Seagall. chair
man of the house banking and
currency committee. to take a quick
committee vote on the bill for ex-
tending for one year the temporary
deposit insurance under which the
banks are now operating.
Unless the temporary plan is ex-
tended before congress adjourns the
permanent plan will go into effect.
Bankers, generally speaking, are
heartily opposed to such develop
ment. They maintain that to make
the deposit guarantee permanent
would be to place a premium on
bad banking. Some institutions, they
declare. would be certain to take
risks with their depositors' money,
realizing that the insurance fund
would be used to cover up any
mistakes in judgment they might
make. The soundly managed banks,
they point out, would be in constant
fear of being called upon to make
good on the deficiencies in the in
surance fund.

CENSORSHIP PLAN
 TO BETTER RADIO
Famed Bandmasters tO Judge New Songs
 Once a Week

New Yorok, Aug 15.-UP)- Tingapan Alley operated under a censorship to-day.
 Henceforth all tune mill products will come under the scutiny of the committee of five for the better ment of radio" composed of five well-known radio bandmasters. If the committee finds anything ob- jectionable in either title or lyric, the publishers will be asked to make revisions. Should the pub fishers refuse, the songs will be banned" from the air.
 The censors are Richard Him. Der, Rudy Vallee. Paul Whiteman, Guy Lombardo and Abe Lyman.
 The committee is to meet each Friday and pass judgment on songs published during the week.
 Timber, who sponsored the movement to ward off any danger of the extension of the church crusade against indecent movies to radio, said most of the better known orchestra leaders through out the country have agreed not to play any banded tunes.
 Committees of five also were said to be operating in Chicago and San Francisco. Similar groups will be formed in other large cities.

had strenuously opposed the AAA and placed this administration measure squarely among the dom- inant issues of the campaign in this purely agricultural state.
 It appeared on the basis of lat est returns that Robert Simmons, former U. S. representative and genine "old guard" republican, had won the republican senatorial nom- ination in a close fight with Ken meth S. Wherry. Simmons lead was piling up in the out-state re- turns.
 It at first had appeared a rec ord primary vote for this state had been cast when the polls closed last night, but light voting out-state de, stroyed this possibility.
 Burke not only was leading Gov ernor Bryan by approximately s to in Omaha. center of popula- tion in Nebraska, but was piling up majority in the early rural returns, slow to come in because of adverse weather conditions.
 Burke's victory was viewed by some observers as a sign the New Deal" was gaining in popularity in- stead of waning. Both democrats and republicans had agreed before the primary the Burke-Bryan fight would be one of the most signifi- cant in the country this year.
 Donahey Slipped In
 Columbus. Ohio, August Is - OUP) Former Governor Vic Donahey. who allowed his two op- ponents to wrangle over which was the staunches supporters of the New Deal, today was the apparent nominee of Ohio democrats for United States senator.
 As returns from yesterdays pri- mary were tabulated, Donahey maintained comfortable lead over Representative Charles West, acknowledged supporter of the na- tional administration, and Cover nor George White, who spent a good deal of his campaign time arguing that West had no monop- oly on New Deal advocacy.
 Donahey's nomination appeared increasingly probable as his lead began to pile up shortly after mid night. At 12:40 a. m. White sent him a message congratulating the former governor on his decisive victory"
 Ohio republicans, meanwhile, had expressed overwhelming desire for the return of the veteran, Sim con D. Fess, to the senate. There appeared little doubt that Clarence J. Brown, former secrc- tary of state. had obtained the re- publican gubernatorial nomination with thousands of votes to spare.
 The democratic race for the gu. bernatorial nomination, on the other hand, was a nip and tuck affair. Three candidates, Lieuten- ant Governor Charles Sawyer, Mar tin L. Davey and William Pickercll were so tightly punched it appeared only final tabulations would de- eide the winner.

The unit rule will be adopted at the convention tomorrow night and Mayor Hayes. as chairman of the delegation, will cast the thirty-six votes as one when the state session occurs.
 The remaining local conventions will be held before the close of next week, providing Town Chair man Crary's plans carry through. This means the renomination of Judge Dennis J. Slavin of the pro- bate court and Senator Joseph H. Lawlor of the 16th district. George T. Culhane will be nominated in the 18th senatorial district.
 Mahaney To Run
 Representative Daniel J. Ma nancy will seek renomination at the town convention. He made this declaration to the Democrat repor- ter today. This means that unless he changes his mind Attorney Patrick Healey will not go on the ticket for representative unless Representative John D. Thoms withdraws. The latter is resolved to seek renomination, also. Chair man Crary reiterated his statement of yesterday again today. to the effect that if Representative Ma nancy wants to be renominated. he is entitled to it and will have the honor of being so honored.
 The county convention will cleo; 56 delegates to the shrievalty gath ering. the time and place to be an- nounced later. all of them pledged to James E. O'Leary of this city for the nomination of high sheriff.
 The congressional convention will send delegates to the district convention pledged to Major J. Joseph Smith of Waterbury for the nomination for congress.

MT Dollar Bill is a tireless per- former and will continue to serve his audience from g in the morn But his stage crew (clerks in the and cannot be expected to be rush. ed off their feet at the last minute before the curetain comes down for the day. It would be charitable on the part of MT and Mrs Audi ence (shopper) to get down town early, take part in the big event and help to make the work of the clerks as orderly as possible.
 Yesterday, 77,000 people crowd ed into the Yankee stadium in New York to see the Detroit Yan- kee double-header. Why?-Be- cause they knew they were going to see something genuine a real honest-to-goodness presentation. MT Dollar Bill will offer another real, genuine presentation in Dol lar Day" tomorrow. While the CO., operating merchants, members of the Merchants Bureau of the Chamber of Commerce, do not ex- pect 77,000 to turn out tomorrow for the Waterbury production, they know that at least one in every family in the city will be found among those taking part in the big presentation.
 Dollar Day" doesn't come very often to the city and when it does, it certainly is appreciated by the large number of people of the Wa terbury and surrounding towns. The theater, represented by the entire down town shopping district, would like to hang up the S. R. O. (Standing Room Only) sign tomor- row. Will you assist in making that possiblte so tn at MT Dollar and his Dollar Day" will make an- other return engagement again?

 First suspicion was pinned on some American bootleg gang that before repeal purchased liQuor in this area and ran it into the United States over the St. Clair river. Au- thorities believed it possible Labatt had been taken over the river in one of the many boats formerly used as rum-runners and was be- ing held in Michigan.
 Wife Is Near ColIapse
 Mrs. Labatt and her three chill dren returned to their London home from Sarnia Beach where they had been spending the sum- mer. She was reported near col lapse from grief and anxiety.
 A heavy police guard was main- tained around the Labatt home at London on the possibility that the kidnapers might attempt reprisals against Mrs. Labatt and the chill dren for revelation of the kidnap- ing to police.' The children are John. 6, Mary, 4, and Arthur, four months. Labatt is 55 years old. He was married seven years go.
 The children have been guarded for several weeks because of fear that they might be kidnapped, it was revealed.
 Labatt left the summer cottage yesterday morning in his own car to drive the 60 miles to his office in London. Several hours later his car was found abandoned at the roadside. the note signed by "Three Fingered Abe" pinned to the steering wheel. There was no sign of struggle.
 Police investigated reports that suspiciously acting men had been seen lettering on the lonely south shore of Lake Huron, near the La- bait summer cottage. Sarnia Beach is separated from the wild stretch es of upper Michigan only by the St. Clair river. They checked the entire section in a house to house canvass but found nothing definite in the way of clue.
 No Contact As Yet
 Reports that Hugh Labatt al- ready had contacted the kidnapers at the Royal York hotel here were widely circulated but were denied by officials of his company.
 Police had no doubt but what Labatt was in the hands of ex- perienced criminals who had en- gagged in the racket before. They felt positive Americans were re- sponsible as the technique was des ciGedly that of gangs which preyed upon wealthy men until the recent federal drive against kidnapers. La bait was in Detroit Monday.
 The abductors took no chance of hours passing before Labatt's aban- doned car was found. they tele-

 Commissioner Needham intimat- ed that as soon as he received the request he would send the two star sleuths to Revere. There was pos sibility, however, that Ferrari would not be able to go there im- mediately, he said. since he might be preoccupied with another case
 A crime without an apparent mo- tive, Siagers murder remained as baffling today as at the time of it's commission. Many persons, both men and women, had been ques- tionei without evident result.
 Establishment of the motive po- lice regarded as the key to the mystery. But the only likely mo- tive that had. suggest itself-that Siegel was the victim of a "beer war"-had been eliminated. Police were satisfied that the staying had "more sinister" aspect.
 One phase of the inquiry con- cerned policies which it was be- lieved Siegel may have taken out at the request of business asso. ciates to insure loans from certain liquor dealers.

 Though ruthlessly suppressed, the communist and socialist part ies, it is known, have been oeprat- ing in secret, maintaining cells" all over the country whcih are in contact with refugees in the front fer towns.
 Residents of Berlin working districts emerged fro mtheir homes in the morning to find daubed in red paint on walls and sidewalks:
 "The red front still lives. Don't vote for Hitler"

 Mail boxes are stuffed with dummy referendum ballots, with no" checked in the space al- loted for disapproval of Hitler's assumption of the presidency.
 In the fashionable west end, communists and socialists are checking the noes on the huge sample ballots which the Nazis have displayed in the streets. The space for the "yes" is defaced or torn off.
 From Prague, Czechoslovakia, ana ITOntlef lOWMS, refugee cOIH- munists and socialists are sending the country by sevret courier a steady flow of anti-Nazi leaflets and pamphlets.
 The NaZis feel that to convince the world Hitler really is wanted as leader, the vote next Sunday must surpass the 40,O00,OO0 odd by which the country last November approved his decision to withdraw from the League of Nations and the disarament conference.

 Word From Kidnapers London, Ont, Aug. 15-UP)- Specific orders to Hugh Labatt, vice-president the Iabatt Brew CTS to be at the Royal York hotel
 in Toronto at 10 a. m. Wednesday
 and await contact from an agent o fthe kidnapers of his brother,
 John s. Labatt, wealthy Canadian
 brewer, were contained in the
 $150,000 ransom note, the United
 Press learned today.
 The information was obtained from an authorative source in close touch with developments in shocked Canadian citizens and
 brought about one of the greatest mobilization of police forces in On- tario history.
 Fear was expressed by friends of
 the family that the adbuctors would abandon previously arranged plans and seek a new contact with aged brewer because of widespread publicity.
 Detroit police were known to be
 working in close cooperation with
 London officers, who practically
 have merged forces with the pro- vincial police in the hunt for the criminals, on the tehory that the abductors might have been Amer fcan gangsters.
 Mounted Police In It The Royal Canadian Mounted Police, world famous criminal
 hunters, entered the picture over night as raids were made with the cooperation of provincial officers in the desolate St. Claire, regions,
 fiat swamp lands on the Canadian side of the St. Claire river be- tween Wallaceburg and Sarnia. A systematic search of the en- tire area from Bright's Grove to Sarnia Beach, Camlachie and Lon don was organized but failed to yield shred of information. The beach along Lake Huron was found to be filled with campers and unemployed transients who were subjected to questioning by police and members of the family were represented as believing that
 mo such small fry" perpetrated the abduction.
 Hugh Labatt, the brother. await
 ed at the Royal York hotel for further instructions from the kid
 napers, prepared to pay over the ransom money which he drew from the Bank of Nova Scotia at Toronto, a friend of the family de- clared. He denied, however, reports that the contact already had been made.
 First Attempt Fails
 Toronto, Ont, Aug. 15-UP)- The first attempt to contact the kidnapers of John s. Labatt, we4l- thy Canadian brewer abducted yes- terday near London, failed today after the victims brother had spent night of anxious waiting in Toronto hotel.
 With police standing aside be- cause of fear for Labatt's life, the brewers brother, Hugh Labatt, fol- lowed instructions said to have been contained in a ransom note demanding $150,000 and ordering him to spend the night at the Royal York Hotel.

 Gov Bryan Swamped
 In Nebraska the apparent sue cess of Burke was at the expense of Governor Charles Bryan, who had criticized a number of New Deal policies, the AAA in partic- ular.
 The Burke candidacy was spon- sored by Arthur Mullen, MT Roose- velt's floor manager at Chicago. and was given special significance when the president quoted Burke's s definition of the New Deal in his Green Bay, Wisconsin, speech. A victory for Burke was expected to receive the interpretation that it represented endorsement by sub- stantial portion of the farm belt of the Roosevelt program.
 The Nebraska republican sena- to1ial nominee is expected to be former Representative Robert Sim mons, conservative critic of Roosevelt remedies.
 In Idaho Governor c. Ben Ross was out n'front for the democratic nomination for governor. His candidacy attracted attention as Il victory this fall is expected to make him a leading candidate to oppose Senator William E. Borah in 1886.
