SIGHT RETURNS
TO GIRL BLIND
SINCE BABYHOOD
Miracle, Say Observers of
Recovery Shown by
Paralysis Victim.

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK, April 19.-For the
past ten years Gertrude Muster, 81,
has been gradually regaining the
vision specialists had declared per-
manently lost as the result of in
fantile paralysis, it became known
today.
Her recovery of sight is regarded
as almost miraculous.
Miss Muster, who was stricken
with the malady when she was 8,
has not been near a doctor since
her recovery began, although for
several years previous she under
went daily treatment. Her eyes
were so bad, it was said, that a
specialist in 1924 detected no re-
action although he concentrated a
brilliant light on the pupil.
And then going home from his
Office on the train said Miss
Muster" I suddenly saw. The con-
ductor came along to take the
tickets. I said Look how shiny his
buttons are. mother I guess it gave
my mother the start of her life"
After that she saw in brief
flashes. Still later vision would
come to her after a dull pain in
her head.
The pain would be there for
quite a while" she said, land then
something would snap and I could
see"
Now her sight is so improved she
can attend athletic contests and
distinguish players without diff
Guilty.

YOUNG SCULPTOR | COMPLETES BUST | OF ROOSEVELT
Artist Said He is the Most Pleasant Person He
 Ever Met

Concord, Mass, January 25 - (UP) - Jackson Russell Garrett, young Concord sculptor, has com- pleted a plaster bust of President Roosevelt, third larger than life size, which probably will be placed on exhibition soon at the Harvard Club of New York.
 The artist, distinguished as a modeler of children's heads, met the Roosevelts while they were at nearby Groton last summer and got the President to agree to sit for his bust. The sittings were made during November, while the President was at work in the oval room at the White House. Gar. rett described his impressions Of the President as follows:
 "He is the most pleasant person in the wor1d-democratic to the highest degree.
 "He often talked with me, just as the ordinary mortal would con- verse and we became well ac- quainted.
 "He is an excellent subject. Naturalness is what the artist seeks in the sitter and President Roosevelt Is extremely natural without trace of self-conscious- | ness."
 Garrett's work, adjudged an ex- l cellent likeness of the President. will eventually be produced m | bronze.

 program at much less than $40,- 100000"
 He said that two of the four legion demands have been recog- nized by President Roosevelt in executive orders. He urged adop- { ton of legislation to add per- manency to the restorations or dered by the president.
 The two points already put into effect by MT Roosevelt were for restoration of S100 allowance for living veterans totally disabled as a result of war service, and for ihospitalization of veterans unable to pay for medical treatment.
 The other two points in the Am ,erican Legion program call for shifting of the burden of proof in disability cases to the government. '1nstead of making veterans produce sevidence that injuries were con- snected with war service, and the .payment of $15 pension to the widows of veterns.
 Reed said the president should mot be blamed for any injustices that have resulted to war veterans from the economy act of last spring.
 Hayes, supplementing Reeds staten ents, explained the legion sdid not want to see a revival of .any of the abuses which developed under the war veterans act. He added the present program was de- isigned to eliminate benefits to vet s.erans who enlisted after the Arm sistice was signed, who had obtained sbenefits through fraud or misrep- presentation, and in cases where the government can show that unjust s.claims are being made.

SALES TAX FAILS
 TO CURE PAINS
Survey Shows Only Small Income to States
 Adopting Levy

Chicago (UP).-The sales tax,
 claimed by some to be the pam
 acea of all government revenue
 ills, has supplied only a fraction
 of the revenues of most states
 which have adopted it, according to a survey made for the Ameri- can Legislators association by Jo- seph G. Riddle.
 In half of the states with gen. eral sales taxes, the returns have
 been under $25O,000 monthly each -one sixth or less of the total taxes levied in each of those states
 for state purposes.
 A few states. however, have found the sales tax a lucrative
 source of income. California real
 izes about $4.000,000 per month from Q 2 1-2 per cent tax. Illinois gathers $2,000,000 monthly with a | 2 per cent rate. Such states are
 not common, according to Riddle There are six states which col
 lect a quarter or more of theii state revenue from the sales tax; these are California, Illinois, In. , diana, South Dakota, Washington and West Virginia. The last three l named include in their gross in. come tax laws many different forms of tax which other statei l collect under different statutes l West Virginia, for instance, taxes the gross income of public service ] corporations as part of the sales ] tax. The South Dakota gross in. ] come tax levies taxes on salarie: mad wages in excess of a given amount.
 In five states. Riddle reports. the | receipts from general sales taxes
 were less than per cent of the l total state tax revenues.

 donate their services the night of
 the party. Mayor Hayes expressed
 his appreciation to MT Corrigan
 and stated he will be glad to call upon the members for that night. Daily the event is assuming the shape of what is expected will be one of the city's most outstanding celebrations. Cooperation is the keynote of the working committee
 which is finding the public well coming the project wholeheartedly. Tickets are going fast and a banner attendance is anticipated. Of course the purpose behind the movement is one that has caught the popular fancy of the entire city. That is, that the proceeds from this event | will be forwarded to national head
 quarters where in turn it will be sent to President Roosevelet as a gift from Waterbury on his 52d birthday. The money will be used | to endow the Warm Springs Foun-
 dation for infantile paralysis vic- | tims.
 Waterbury is only one of about
 5000 communities in the nation that is staging an event on the
 Presidents birthday. So it is sug- gested that if you haven't secured your ticket yet, get busy and con- | tribute to a worthy cause. And all
 so, enjoy yourself at what will be | @ wonderful time.

employment manager aC tne wa terbury Manufacturing company, a part of the Chase Companies, Inc, is a member of the new personnel committee. Miss Milicent Pond was taken out of the Scovill Manu- featuring company earlier in the drive for unemployment relief and added to the state employment service. Why these women were taken, their politics not being known and their places being ones which might have been filled by persons more recently residents of the state, is another question being asked.
 Miss Davies arrived in Water- bury recently, comparatively speak ing. Miss Pond joined the Scovill company forces sometime before. They are both supposed to be ex- perts. But, on the other hand, 1t is claimed by thousands that there are experts right here in Water bury and in other cities and states of Connecticut who have had a longer residence. The Yale badge being put on the proposed direc- tors of the new state-federal unem- ployment bureaus, will, it Is expect ed, bring about 8 considerable amount of feeling when the coming state election takes place.
 An effort is now being made to discredit MT Maioney, present head of the local federal-state bureau. The move is being made. it is un- derstood, by William J. Pape, lo- |.cal publisher. The charge is to be made, it is understood, that he has given preference to Washington Hill residents, the section of the town in which he lives.
 This fact is expected to be dis- credited and facts brought forward to show that he has disregarded | race, creed or politics in handing out jobs. Mrs Hayden is not in- cluded in the Pape attack, directly. but as assistant superintendent 1t is expected that she will be brought under the fire of the Pape guns, if possible.
 All in all, the local CWA admin istration is under fire. But the lo- cal angle is necessary because through this medium the attack can be shouldered on to Governor Cross and Labor Commissioner Tone. Many protests are expected to be heard within the next few days. not only in Waterbury but in
 Washington. D. c.
 In the latter city, already, United States Senator Augustine Lonergan and other legislators have been
 swamped with letters and tele.
 grams of protest. Many more are
 expected to pour in to-day for the fight not only concerns Waterbury
 but other cities in the state where
 college-trained executives are be.
 ing groomed to take the places oi
 those who, under Commissioner
 Tone, have acquired a practical ex-
 perience which, in every way, will
 outdo any technical experience that
 college-trained men may have ob.
 tained. Practical rather than tech-
 nical and psychological training is
 the real necessity, it is claimed.

in 8 rubber factory to his rise as a prominent attorney, he referred to him as self-made man, and point ed to his high esteem in his com- munity. "I can't understand why MT Goss is not present at this hearing" McDonough said. "It would seem significant that he has not appeared to deny these charges"
 Goss's failure to attend the hearings indicated his guilt, Me Donough said. Ansbury spoke again and told the committee he would file a supplementary brief in the case. Larkin said he would have to view this brief, and if nec- essary would submit an answer.
 Summa Termed Rascal
 During the course of yesterday afternoons session Attorney Ans- bury referred to Thomas Summa, who was on duty as an election official at the local third district polling place as 'that rascal" and a member of "the notorious Sum- ma family" He said that Summa was responsible for Goss's election, because of improper handling of the voting at the third district where he was moderator. Attorney Ansbury also pointed out that the policeman on duty there was "of the great tribe of Summas, which means repeaterS, which means sell out your party for spoils''.
 Attorney Ansbury also brought in the name of Aldeman George Kingston. He said the alderman picked up 8 local sailor named Haywood and found out that the latter's brothers and sisters had moved out of Waterbury. Their names were still on the local vot- ing list He quoted Kingston as saying, "We'll fix that.
 Hugh Burns Testimony
 Testimony given at the Nauga- tuck hearing by Hugh Burns o1 Naugatuck was also referred to by Attorney Ansbury regarding the alleged action of Mrs Frances I Odell of Waterbury in marking names of alleged repeaters off the voting list because of her con. science.
 Ansbury charged that Thoma! Summa left the democratic party for spells and that his brother Charles, was subsequently, named city court prosecutor. Congress man Cannon of Wisconsin, demo crat, stated that if the charges made were true, conditions in Wa terbury are lax, or the district at. torney was not on the alert. At torney Larkin explained that h' knows all about the matter of a complaint made to States Attorne, Lawrence l.. Lewis by Pape an( that he knew his attitude. He de clared he did not feel it right tt disclose the attitude of Attorne, Lewis. The fact that Attorne! Larkin is also prosecutor of thu common pleas court was brough out by Attorney McDonough.
 | Yesterday afternoons session was featured by many clashes be tween the committee and the Gormley counsel. Several timei Attorney McDonough was on hi feet waving his finger at the com mittee members and urging justice for Attorney Gormley. Attorne! Ansbury also clashed many time!

persons are appointees of Com- missioner Tone for four years He has now. apparently, fallen down on his appointees and has acquiesced to the wishes of Cover nor Cross and his fellow college men. The same situation has been directed in recent weeks towards President Roosevelt's "college trust" of advisors.
 That there are many men throughout the country who have had practical experience in ham, ding unemployed persons than col- lege men would have, has been pointed out by those opposing the present move. The CWA in Con- necticut, in Waterbury and throughout the country is now be- ing subjected to a hearty criticism which is expected to bring dire re- suits if the installation of college trained men and women is insisted upon.
 It is likely, it was learned today from an unofficial source, that a woman would take the place of MI Maloney, adding insult to injury While the order is being allowed to go through by Commissionel Tone, the blame is also being di- rected towards Governor Cross.

 Should the appointment of State Senator Frank Bergin be confirmed for U. s. Attorney, his resignation would give the republicans a defin- ite majority in the senate.

Murphy while in restaurant on South Main street about o'clock yesterday morning overheard a conversation, which led him to pass
 a tip to the local police head quarters. Captain Frank R. Cutting immediately started an investiga- ton of the affair, although no for
 nal complaint was filed here. Mon- tano obtained glimpse of the | marker numbers on the machine in
 which he was made prisoner. He l reported it as K-411. The motor vehicle department has eight ma- chimes registered with those num- bers, but a different letter included with the K. It was finally decided that KF-411 issued in the name of Lena Ruccio of Phoenix avenue might possibly been involved in the affair. In the check-up the police
 learned last evening that some of the "boys" had visited Trucale's
 home and had beaten him up.
 According to Montana four men took part in the hold-up. Two leaped on the running board of his truck and one poked a gun against his ribs and commanded him to step out of the machine into an- other car. He was taken for a ride
 and returned to the empty truck about an hour or two later. Mon- tano instead of notifying the local police drove to Union City and call- ed his brother on the telephone. Within another hour 8 flock of Montano's friends were cruising
 about Waterbury in search of the
 suspected hi-jacker. It was only by chance that the police stepped into
 the picture and spoiled what
 promised to be a private affair of | great possibilities.
 Lieutenant William Pollard and Detective William Foley took
 Inglese for a ride today and en-
 deavored to have him open up, but
 without much success. If Montana
 comes to Waterbury this afternoon
 there is a possible chance of the
 authorities becoming acquainted
 with some of the inside details o1 the entire affair.

 Senator Hastings of Delaware, chairman of the republican sena- torial campaign committee, an- nounced he plans to speak at length on the money bill. His associ- ates said the speech probably would take about two hours.
 Senator Reed, repn, Pa, also in- tended to discuss the bill.
 With Reed facing a hard cam paign for reelection and Hastings in search of issues for the autumn campaigns, these discussions were looked upon as somewhat political in character.
 There appeared to be little dis position to attempt to scuttle the bill.
