Waterbury Hebrews

Maurice Samuel, World Figure, to Address Mass
 Meeting To=night-Local Quota, $4,6OO

The most enthusiastic bit of news received by the Jewish people of this city was announced yesterday. when the national leaders of the American Jewish Joint Distribution committee and emergency cam paign to settle German refugee Jews in Palestine, notified their followers in this community that after a series of conferences the national uleaders were finally suc- cessful in effecting an agreement resulting in the combining of both campaigns.
 Perhaps no person in the coun- try welcomes this decision more 50, than James G. Mcdonald, high commissioner fro German refugees.
 In a statement he made public he said This united effort of the joint distribution committee and the American Palestine campaign is a fulfillment of the hope which have frequently expressed, both publicly and privately, since the first meeting of the high commits sion at Lausanne last December" he declares in his statement. "This coordination will, am confident, expedite, just when sped is most essential, a nationwide effort on behalf of the approximately 50,000 Jewish refugees from Germany. I am confident that the Jews of the United States will show by their

TAX RETURNS DUE
 WITHIN TWODAYS
Rush Expected By Agents TO=mOrrOW-.Business
 Below Expectations

Income tax returns for the Wa terbury district are far beow ex- pectatfons thus far, said Deputy Collectors James Monaghan and Charles Byrne this morning. Even the rush to file returns this week has not been as heavy as expected, though Thursday is the last day for 1883 returns.
 The office in the federal building will be open till 9 o'clock tonight and tomorrow night to care for those who have not yet filled out the necessary papers. Large num- bers of last-minute taxpayers are expected during the closing days.
 It is pointed out by the two deputies that failure to have the returns submitted on time makes the offender liable to an increase of 25 per cent of his tax. For this reason the public is urged to be certain that it's returns are made before the 18th.
 Business at the local office was slower than anticipated all last week, but it was thought that this week would show a large increase. The expectation has not been full filled, however. and the usual last minute rush will probably be great CT than that of previous years.

CALABRESE GIVEN
 LIMITED LICENSE
Principal in Fatal Auto Mishap Allowed to Drive
 Truck for Livelihood

John Calabrese of this city. who recently completed a Jail term on manslaughter charges, failed to put in an appearance at the hear ing scheduled for this morning be- fore Deputy Motor Vehicle Com missioner Francis Hogan of Tor rington at the Waterbury city court room because he has obtained a limited license to operate his truck, 1t was learned.
 He secured the limited license by going before the motor vehicle commission at Hartford last week and stating that he would be de- prived of his livelihood if he were not permitted to operate his truck.
 Calabrese had his license taken away at the time of the death of Mrs Jennie Leach, killed by Cal abrese's truck in sandpit off the Plank Road.
 The hearing scheduled before Commissioner Hogan this morning was for the purpose of establishing whether Calabrese was entitled to a restoration of his license. Seven others who had their licenses taken away were heard with decision re- served by Commissioner Hogan,

deds that they are fully aware of the desperate needs of the hour"
 The national emergency cam- paign to settle German refugee Jews in Palestine was originally set at two million dollars. The com- bined campaign is now set at three million dollars.
 The local campaign which off, cially starts this evening with d mass meeting at the Hebrew In- stitute is for $3,000, plus $1,60O, to transplant 20 German Jewish children from Germany to Pales- tine. Waterbury's quota is based upon the two million dollar cam- paign and because of that reason the local committee which is com- posed of followers and adherents of both causes are hoping that the amount raised locally will be over- subscribed sufficiently to equal what would otherwise have in all probability been Waterbury's quota under the new combined arrange ment.
 The principal speaker at this evenings mass meeting will be MduIlCc EodmpCl, OhC oL IiC hoi S- most authorities on world Jewish as a brilliant lecturer and author of several authentic works on Jewish life, history and literature.

 A number of Jewish organiZa- tions are undertaking to raise and provide funds for the children phase of the campaign. Last eve ming for Phi Beta fraternity, a To- cal Jewish youth group voted to care for one child.

Merchants Trust Go. Receiver Files Plan
 With Superior Court
Purpose Is Liquidation of Million Dollars in Mortgages in Savings Department Trustee Would Oversee
 WOrk-SemiAnnua Interest on Certificates

A novel plan which has for its ultimate goal the liquidation of a million dollars worth of mortgages and savings deposits of the Mer- chants Trust Co, is outlined in an application filed in superior court to-day by the receiver for the closed bank. The plan would set up 8 trustee which would take over savings department mort gages and issue certificates upon which savings idepositors would be paid semi-anndal interest on their deposits, suck as is paid by sav- ings, banks.
 Attorney { Francis T. Reeves, counsel for the receiver, the Citi- zens & Manufacturers National bank, will present the plan to Judge Arthur F. Els in superior court Friday.
 The san calls for depositors to apply to the receiver during the next two months, expressing their willingness to take part in tho proposition. They will assign their depoits at 85 per cent of their face value. At the end of two mouths, the receiver will sub- init to court a list of the applicants, slowing the amount of deposits willing to be assigned.
 If there is $2OO,000 worth of ap- plications received, the court will assign to a trustee, $200,0O0 worth of savings department mortgages. The trustee will issue participation certificates. These certificates will permit the depositors to draw in- terest as will be fixed by the court.
 In explaining the plan to-day, Attorney Reeves said there are a number of depositors whose de- posits are not large enough to per- init them to purchase mortgages. Their money is lying idle at the Merchants Trust Go. Under this plan, their deposits will earn in- terest payments, which, it is hoped, will measure up to the interest paid depositors of ordinary savings banks.
 Attorney Reeves points out that the liquidation of mortgages has been a very difficult problem to the receiver. When the receiver took over the Merchants Trust Co, it was found that two million dollars worth of savings deposits were in- vested in mortgages.
 Since the receivership, the re- ceiver has liquidated 50 per cent of these mortgages. This liquida- ton was realized through only two methods, by sale of mortgages through acceptance of Home Loan Bonds and by direct sale of the mortgages by accepting deposits.
 The liquidation was not all cash however. The liquidation from now on will not be substantially affected by the Home Loan bonds. Unless some scheme could be de- vised it was decided that a long time would be necessary to reduce the mortgages to cash.
 There are a number of deposi- tors in the Merchants Trust Go,
