Latter Refuses to Take More
Hogs in Trade-Radio
Ruling Nearer.

Bargaining with Great Britain for an
increase in the flow Of Scotch whisky
apparently was at an impasse last night
as governmental agencies stroye for
swift solution Of the liquor problem.
Meanwhile, the Radio Commission
was preparing to recommend revocation
of licenses of stations that carry hard
liquor advertising, and the distillers
were making efforts to increase the
supply of cheap whisky in the market.
President Roosevelt yesterday received
information from his aides that efforts
to persuade the British to increase their
imports OF hogs and butter in return
for boost in the Scotch whisky item
in their liquor quota had SO far been
Intellectual.
Radio Commission authorities spoke
OF the intricacy of the problem, saying
it had both State and Federal aspects.
Intrastate radio advertising is consid-
cred impossible. lending color TO the
dominant theory that the question Is
one for Federal regulation. Commis-
sion officers said that for hard liquor
advertising to go into dry State would
be a breach Of law.
Chcap WHISKY ASKED
Still unable t6 fill demands for liquor,
distillers were urged by DR.. James M
Doran. supervisor of the Distilled Spirits
Institute, to concentrate on the manu-
facture OF cheap whisky.
I'VE want to get out large volume
Of low-price goods, say for Sl2 case
and the distillery Federal tax PAID
Doran said.
The supervisor. who for rs years was
a Government chemist added that the
cheaper the whisky the purer it was.
There is nothing purer than good
alcohol" he said, adding that other
components detracted from the purity
Of the alcohol.
Disclosing that plans were belng
made for meeting Of the dlstulers cooe
authority this week, he SAID that tne
need for cheap liquor would be empha-
sized then.
Code Action Is Expected.
There were indications that next week
would see accomplishment OF two 90
iectives that have been consloereo Iol
/ some time by the Federal AlconoL Ooh-
troll Administration. These are the
drafting of a wholesalers code and
labelling regulations.
The wholesalers. an unorsanlZeo
group, we're given until January 9 tG
frame a code. If they do not succeed
themselves it is anticipated that the
Control Administration will do 1t foi
them.
Joseph H. Choate. jr.. the admins

Court Actions

The Board of Trustees of the Beth Fl synagogue Is plaintiff in $1,200 civil action filed to-day in the common pleas court against Isaac and Elizabeth Winestine in which claim is made for payment of the balance due on pledges they made in 1928 for the con- struction of the synagogue. It is understood that this is the first of Q series of similar actions that will be filed during the next sev- eral weeks.
 The complaint prepared by Att torney John H.. Cassidy, says the plaintiff is an ecclesiastical cor poration. In September of 1928 the corporation vote to erect a new building of worship in Water- bury and for that purpose vari- ous meetings were held, to deter mine whether sufficient funds to meet the expense of erecting such 3 building could be raised.
 The defendants being members of the corporation attended at least two meetings and promised to pay $500, said promise being based upon mutual promises made by other members of the corpor- ation, says the complaint. During September, October and November of 1928 the board of trustees were authorized to raise funs and a com mitee was delegated to visit mem bers for additional pledges. The defendants are alleged to have made another pledge of $500, The balance due on the pledges is said to be $791. " N
 Judge John Ruins Booth granted one application of the Merchants T'rtst Co, receiver but reserved de- cision on another, at the short calendar session of the court to- day. The petition approved per- mits the receiver to accept pass books of depositors put up as col lateral for loans in the savings de- partment, as set offs.
 The petition upon which de- cision was reveryed asked for permission to set up mortgage trusteeship in which depositors could participate. Attorney w. D.. Thoms in presenting the applica- tion said 1t is the plan of the re- ceiver to take not less than $50.- 900 nor more than $100,000 worth of good first mortgages and place them in the trusteeship. The in- come of the mortgages would be used to pay those depositors in di- vidends who turned in their pass books for participation certificates.
 Judge Booth raised the question of whether there might be discrim- lnation in the event that the re- ceiver does not eventually pay 100 nef cent to all depositors. He pointed out that those depositors whb share in the mortgage plan wo0ld be receiving 100 per cent credit for their deposits.
 Attorney Thoms said 1t was ad- xanced as liquidation plan. ex- plHInine that mortgages are slow moving assets which at this time ara incapable of being converted Info cash, and the receiver thought n wuoId hmelp to got some cash I6lo the hands of the depositors.

Veteran Employees
 Forgotten In Shift
Transfer of Factory Equipment to P. A. Costs Ring
 Company Hands Positions

Many old-time employees of the American Ring company, some of them with records extending al- most to the fifty-year mark, face the possible loss of their positions when the work of moving the equipment ot the factory to the plant of the Plume 6 Atwood Manufacturing company, now un- derway, is completed. John L.. Scott, secretary and assistant treas- urer of the Plume 6 Atwood com pany, to-day verified the.i report that the employees of the Ameri- can Ring company, will. to some extent, be obliged to hunt other places of work when the machin- cry reSr oval task is done.
 Removing Equipment
 Millwrights of the local and Thomaston plants of the Plume & Atwood Manufacturing company are now engaged in moving the machinery across Bank street from the Ring company plant to its new location. MT Scott said this morning that the work will be com pleted in a week or ten days.
 Operations at the plant of the American Ring company were necessarily suspended due to the fact that the machinery was being shifted. Therefore, the employees of the old. factory are out tenn porarily.
 Products Discontinued
 Asked if all those connected with the Ring company would be employed at the plant of the Plume & Atwood concern when the ma chinery was once more in opera tion, MT Scott said that he doubt ed it. He explained that some of the lines manufactured at the Ring company plant will not be taken up at the Plume & Atwood factory, hence the necessity of dropping some of the employees. Some of the Ring company force will be hired into the Plume & Atwood plant, he added, but just who will be employed and how many will be selected will not be known until the machinery mov-

 "What was it . little gin?" asked Judge McGratb, but. SnlIy didn't answer.
 HOW do you like that name, 0ally?", the judge asked Ser- eeant Brickel, and the ser- 6eant was q bit nOnplussed. But after 43 years as . police man q simple question like that. wouldn't bother him. so he nodded that he did, and the fudge suspended sentence.
 But that wasn't all, by any means, for Salfy's husband Jadilie. 20, who lives with his wife at 2Sf Bishop street, was also in court today. It seems that Joseph Gonef, 20. of S2 Hill street, also a negro. suf- fered q minor wound when he was stabbed last night and Jhdlle was arrested for the af- ffayk Jaddie was given q con-. tinnance till tomorrow, so he stayed in jail while Sally 6trolle1 home.
