SMALL LOAN LAW
 MAY BE AMENDED
Senator LOnergan FavOrs Changes, Lower Rates
 of Interest
Special to the DemocraU


 Washington, D. C., July 10-U. s. Senator Augustine Lonergan an nounced today that he would con- tinue his efforts in the next con gress to enlarge the scope of pres ent laws so that small loans will be more easily obtained at reasonable interest rates.
 Expressing qualification over the enactment of measure introduced by Senator Sheppard, Texas, dur ing the session, which places mutual credit unions under the comptroller of the currency, entitl- ing them to federal supervision and thus increasing public confidence in legitimate small-loan companies, Senator Lonergan said: Tt is step in the right direction, but we cannot stop there. We must actual ly set up some machinery by which the man employed at small wage, or on limited working hour basis, can obtain a few hundred dollars to liquidate past indebted ness and provide for future needs"
 The senator said that a result of his study of the consumer debt and consumer credit problem during the past year he had received more than twenty proposals for small loan relief through establishing of units in the federal reserve or the Reconstruction Finance Corpora tion. A special consumers advisory group of the department of agri- culture was directed to study the problem, he said, and sent out questionnaires to thousands of per- sons throughout the country. The results are now being tabulated to determine the extent of the con- sumer need for some system which would enable them to compose or pool their debts to local business establishments through some set up encouraged by the government.
 Definite action to solve the con- sumer problem could not be taken at the past session, the senator said, because of the more urgent

5 Houses Here Unfitfor Use Many Others Need Repairs
City's EZRA Quota
 Formally Announced
Juy's Appropriation Registers $l,l Increase Over
 Jme's Mutual Aid Proposes Cut

Waterbury's EZRA financial quota for July has been set at $35,- 287 with an added grant of $1105 from the same source, it was learn- ed today. This makes the Water bury EZRA funds for this city during the present month $S6,- 392 irrespective of the balance left over from the June allotment. l
 Information to this effect was ob- tained from William M. Harris, lo- cal EZRA administrator, who re- ceived a communication from Miss Eleanor Little of Hartford, acting state EZRA head.
 Five Pay Days In July
 When the month of June expired there was still the sum of $2,- 646.92 left that had not been ex-- pended. Under ordinary conditions, this money would have gone back into the federal relief fund. Through the efforts of Administar- tor Harris, this money was allowed to stand credited to Waterbury.
 The reason for this being neces- sary was pointed out by MT Harris in his plea supporting the retention of the $2,646.92. July is a five week CCC month. Therefore, with the increased quota allowed and the $2,646.92 retained, this district will be able to carry on without dropping or hiring of new help.
 The June financial quota of the EZRA was only $32,600.
 Mutual Aids Balance

houses are located that are. either unfit for occupancy or in need of major or minor repairs. The letter received here today was as fol- lows:
 Ut appears from the report that the residential structures of Water bury are generally in good condi- ton, as only 9.4 per cent are re- ported to be in need of structural repairs. However, 39.6 per cent are in need of minor repairs, which in- dicates a considerable amount of repair provided a means of financ- ing can be obtained. One hundred and thirty-five houses were report ed unfit for use.
 "A number of other items have a bearing on relief problems. Of particular interest is the fact that 1,438 families are reported as sharing quarters with the usual occupants of the dwelling. Only about 3 per cent of the dwellings were rented or were for rent at less than s10: almost 42 per cent rented at a rate between 10 and $20 per month.

 Liquor valued at about $1,0OO, was seized in the raid, also a new automobile.
 Commilletti will be heard before the U. S. court at New Haven dur ing the next term which opens September 11th.
 Dillella's claim is that he was an innocent victim and that he had gone to the Highland avenue ad- dress to buy or trade a car. He said he tried first to get into the house, but found no one there. He discovered Commilletti in the barn he said, and became engaged in , conversation with him. He had nothing to do with the manufacture of the liquor, he claims, and was at the premises solely on business visit.

 Police are not making any effort to give out more tags than usual but the increase in payment is the result of the mo fixing" rule. Special atten- ton will DC paid, however, to fragrant violations, such as double parking and parking in restricted areas.

STAR MAKES HIT IN
 CRADLE SONG
Beautiful Dorothea Wieck Creates Sensation in Play
 Now at the Coliseum

Hollywood is speculating about Dorothea Wieck It is wondering whether history, in the case of this serenely exotic actress who took United States screen audi ences by storm in "Maedchen in Uniform" will repeat itself and whether the old superstition, "all good things run in threes" will hold good for her Hollywood career.
 Cradle Song" her first Ameri- can picture just completed for Paramount, showing tonight at the Coliseum Theatre, will be Miss Wieck's third screen production in other than minor role. Her first, Maedchen in Uniform" skyrocketed Miss Wieck to international fame. Anna and Elizabeth" also made in Europe, added to her laurels as dramatic and emotional actress
 With Cradle Song" also she stands in line, along with Ruth Chatterton and Helen Hayes, to be the third actress likely to register a success in a mother-loye part. Ruth Chatterton, after appearing in several early talking pictures, registered her great screen success in Madame K and Sarah and Son. Helen Hayes, to screen fans at large little more than an un- known quantity from the legitimate stage, held screen audiences spell bound in The Sin of Madelon Claudet."
 Miss Wieck's Cradle Song" is from the stage play by G. M Mar tin Sierra, in the role which Eva Le Gallienne brought to the stage on Broadway. The screen play is by Marc Connolly, with direction by Mitchell Leisen Featured players in the cast include Evelyn Venable Sir Guy Standing, Kent Taylor Louise Dresser, Gertrude Michae and Nydia Westman.

'ELYSIA' GIVES
 THE IDEAS OF
 NUDIST COLONY
Theories and Lives of Talk ed of Cult Shown in
 Uptown Feature

When group of people, bound together in common belief, are naked, together, whole mass of unhealthy and morbid sex ideas and reactions are automatically sloughed off, according to Hobart Glassey, pioneer of the Nudist movement.
 For proof of that statement one can see "Elysia," at the Uptown Theatre, which is claimed to have been filmed at an authentic nudist colony.
 All of the actors in the film are bona fide nudiSts. They aren't act ing-they're just being themselves. And one will look in vain for any trace of embarrassment or lewd- ness in their department.
 "Elysia" is presented in order to acquaint the public with the ideas and purposes of a modern Ameri- can nudist colony. Uptown Thea ter officials claim that there is nothing offensive in the picture.
 It opens with a reporter being given an assignment to find a mud ist colony and get a story. Mack, the reporter finally does just that and joins the nudists for a week end during which he finds out for himself and incidentally the audi ence. does also, just what goes on at these much talked of camps. He leaves at the end, apparently that there is more in nudism than meets the eye.
 Also On Double Bill
 Its Great To Be Alive" with Raul Roulien and Gloria Stuart, is an amusing feature length com edy which shares the double bill with "Elysia' and presents the problems that beset a personable young man when he discovers him. self to be the last man left alive, after a malignant epidemic has killed all the other men in the world.

Mrs. Jenne's second number was an arrange ment made by Mrs. Carol Beery Davis of two Thlinget melodies. called "Knsehani," an Indian word meaning sweetheart. Both these numbers were beautifully given by Mrs. Jenne, with Mrs. Davis ac- companist, and received enthusias- tic applause from all present.
 The luncheon was given under the auspices of the Clubs depart ment of Applied Education, of which Mrs. A. M. Geyer is Chair man. Mrs. Geyer herself presided, and announced the various num- bers, following the welcoming ad- dress made by Mrs. Hazel James Ferguson, President of the Club.

Gorgeous Girls, Song Hits. Humor and Romance
 in Capitol Feature

A beautiful chorus of fifty girls recruited from the "Follies" ana the stage version of Take a Chance" embellishes the Paramount film, produced by Laurence Schwao' It will open this evening at the Capitol Theatre.
 The girls, all of whom are out standing dancers, will appear Tn numbers written especially for them by an imposing group of composers and lyricists which includes Jay Gorney, Lou Alter, Herman Hup- field, E. Y. Harburg, Billy Rose, Arthur Swanstrom, Harold Arlen, Laurence Schwab and Buddy De- Sylvia These include T Never Took Lesson in My Life,' New Deal Rhythm Its Only Paper Moon" Should I Be Sweet" and the world-famous "Eadie Was a Lady"
 Take a Chance" tells the story of four carnival side-show enter tainers who win fame and for tune on the Broadway sta g e through the good offices of pro- ducer, played by Charles Buddy Rogers. It is by no means another back stage romance, since the To- cale ranges from the side-show to the splendid (though crooked) gambling club, out among the so- ciety folk of Long Island and fin ally to the front of stage at Broadway theatre.
 James Dunn, Lillian Roth, Cliff Edwards and June Knight play the parts of the side-show spielers and dancers who are not hesitant about doing a little pickpocketing and petty grafting on the side They finally see the error of their ways and drift to New York where through a hilarious chain of CO., incidents they all become the toasts of Broadway.
 The supporting cast includes such names as those of Lillian Bond Dorothy Lee, Lona Andre and Rob- ert Glecker, all of whom have done outstanding work on both stage and screen.
 The story ranges from farce to stark tragedy and provides ample opportunity for all the players to appear at their best.
