ROOSEVELT HAS
 THE WHIP HAND
House Backs Up Presi- dent - Hopes of His
 Enemies Quashed

Washington, Jan 13--CUP) -- Progident Roosevelt held the whip hand over the houne today, his leadership established by fl vote of 240 to 141 against opponents ot the first supply bill of the present session of congress.
 The test came last night on q motion to recommit the bill. Later it was passed without q record vote. Importance was attached to the result because of the narrow Gve-vote margin Thursday by which the democratic leadership imposed a gag rule on the mem bership.
 The supply bill carried $566.000,. 900 for independent offices and agencies of the government. II restored five per cent of the ID per cent salary reduction which federal employees received under the economy bill enacted at the special session last spring.
 As result of the vote, Iedacrs were confident of tanning through tho fret recovery Legislation re auested by the president this ses- Elon when bills for guaranteeing inc principal on farm mortgage tonds and for extending the life of the Reconstruction Finance cor poratlon comes up Monday. Both house and senate were li adjourn ment today.

Expenditures in Waterbury's E public school syAem, on a per pupil basis, were cut less last year in Waterbury than in the average city, according to figures contained in q survey made by the office of education in Washington. While average sums spent per pupil fell off 22 per cent in 300 typical cities, this clty's decrease was but 11.7 per cent.
 The results of the national tabu- Iotion make 1t clear that the drop in the amount spent here per pupil has been comparatively small. It is but slightly moro than half as much a decline as the average Of the 300 cities from which figures were taken.
 Connecticut as q whole fares well In the comparison with other states. Hartford's decline in the gum spent on each pupil was slightly more than 15 per cent. New Britain had a 19 per cent drop: Mcridcn's fell 16 per cent;

LOSING SCRAP IN FRANCE FOUGHT
 BY ROYALISTS
Revolution Held Back as Premier Gains Support
 of the Deputies

New York, Jan 13.-(UP)-The forlorn hope ot French royalists that a Bourbon will again sit on the throne of France appeared more than ever bedraggled today and the revolution that has been on it's way since 1871, seemed to have been postponed q little while The end of the short lived hope of little knot of men who arc still loyal to the lost Bourbon. Orleans cause and its leader, the Duke of Guise, came when the So- cialists woke up last night to find themselves fin a strange political bed with the monarchists. The astoundcd socialists thereupon re- versed their policies and voted Premier Camille Chautemps sup port.
 Meanwhile. at Versailles, fl mol of citizens not far removed from the "rabble" of 1789, which dc. scended on Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette and hauled them tc Paris. and thereafter to the gull. lotine. demonstrated yesterday ir the same spot against the present government.
 And up in Belgium, where he is an exile under the law, because no pretendcr to the throne of France is permitted to stay on French soil, his royal highness, the Duke of Guise, descendant of King Louis Philippe and, through him, of Louis XIII, watched the proceed ings and calculated how long it would take France to accept him as it's ruler.
 The Duke of Guisc has never given up hope. No pretcnder ever does. Last year his royal highness issued a manifesto to the French people suggesting, rather than commanding. that a dictatorship be set up under monarch. In such q turn of events. he thought, the crown would look well on him.
 Every time the crowd becomes restless. therefore -- and the French peasantry always becomes restless when banks fold under them or they lose 60 sous - the Bourbons keep their eyes on two places, Versailles. where the mobs had their fun yesterday, and PariS, where one never can tell what the deputies are going to do or when the next "coup" is coming off.
 M. Chautemps succeeded Tn blasting away the hopeful royal ists' pretenslons this time. That won't prevent them from going on hoping, however, that M. De Guise, with the large tribe of Bourbon Orleans still cxtant. will some day settle down in Versailles.
 Premier Is Victor
 Paris. January 12 - tUP) - Premier Camille Chautemps, forti- fled by a. vote of confidence. en- joyed a respite today from royalibt riots and a chamber of deputies attack for alleged cabinet negli- gence in making possible the frauds perpetrated by Alexandei Stavisky, suicide banker.
 But the chamber debate was to be resumed Tuesday and royalisth and many members of the ordln' ary public remained sufficiently angry to call for police guards at public buildings.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-01-13

The country may well be proud of it's women, for the survey shows they have courage, intelligence, optimism, and secure grasp of the spiritual as well as the material values of life. Our interviewers asked them first, Are we on the way out of the dcpression?"
 The vote was overwhelmingly yes ranging from , per cent in New York to 90 per cent fin Milwaukee. We then questioned whether we would be better off after the de- pJression than in our most prosper ous' years. And again 0 vast group, averaging over 86 per cept, said 'yes.' Women expressed the belief that we have learned bitter lesson from the fruits of seifishness and greed.
 Tho average was 92 per cent of all women interviewed in the 4 cities said either they believe that everyone has ben benefited by the MIRA or that some one group with which they were directly concern- cd has been measurabIy helped.

 Tn tho Thursday session prices moyed narrowly in quiet turnover unfll the last 20 minutes. They they spurted ahead 50 rapidly tickers fell several minutes behind. Shnrts were frightened into cover lnn and q small amount of outside buying came in then and the next rnQfning. However, this fell off and thelmarket was without public sup pokt the remainder of the week.
 Wall street diagnosed the mar Io2s as in difficult position. It is cioBe to resistance levels on the upside, according to chart readers, ana until 1t makes a clean advance above those levels it may be sub- 5ecfcd to selling periods that may be of sufficient scope to turn 1t definitely lower.
 A favorable item for the market is the business situation, and of even more importance is a strong bond market, especially the United States government section. The rise in the latter recently reflect govern ment preparation for notation of it's huge bond Issues, according to traders.
 In the business world, the best reports are coming from trade circles. Retail and wholesale trade have improved beyond expectations according to the weekly reviews. Car Ioadings, U. $. steel shipments, electricity output and steel opera fions arc making q good showing.
 There is still considerable un- certainty on the monetary prob lem and congressional acts are still in the realm of the unknown. These things make foricaution in com Tnitments. The dollar did not per form in it's usual way, holding steady nose of the time. while the R. r. C. gold price was unchanged.
 Utilities made the best showing on the stock market. Impetus for the rise was furnished by the presi- dent when he indicated he favored q sinking fund to pay off utility and railroad funded debt instead of constantly refunding these issues. Railroad shares rose for the same reason and the bonds of each group were in good demand.
