Blackall Praised
 For Case Defense
Masterly Plea Made in Hartford Superior Court as
 Druggists Test Case of Liquor Law Begins

the pea of Attorney John c. Black all, former Waterburian, in the in- terests of MT Murphy that specta- tors disturbed the peace of the court room with an outburst of ap- plause. Judge Jennings smiled at the breach of etiquette and turn ing to Deputy Attorney General Ernest L. Averill, who represented the commission, said: Now see if you can get little applause. MT Averill described Senator BlackalIs s efforts as masterly and said that he could not equal the arguments.
 Many Waterbury druggists are interested in the outcome of the case. Judge Jennings promised to render a decision as speedily as possible and permit the case to be taken, if necessary, to the supreme court of errors.
 A large number of cases bearing on the questions of intent of the legislature and discretionary pow CTS of administrative commissions were submitted to the court. In or- der to hasten decision Judge Jen nings said he would not receive DuI luStClu "odAo SohoiNOh the oral argument and the list o1 citations. His decision may be ir time for an appeal to the February term of the supreme court.
 MT BlackallN introduced the amendment at the last session o1 the legislature which provided for the issuance of druggists permits He said the legislature intended to T. ,,,sk oI. led o the control of liquor and that the provisions allowing druggists to sell liquor was to keep the bar out of the home. Under the druggists per init sections, liquor was to be sold in quanties of less than one quart while package stores must sell liquors in sealed containers of not less than one quart capacity.
 Commission Powers Defended
 Admitting that the commission has a large discretion, MT Blackall denied that it's discretion is abso- lute. He cited decision of the at- torney generals office which held that under the law druggists per mits are necessary. He denied that the commission had power to elim- mate class of permittees and the druggists, under the control act were recognized as a class of per- mittees..
 MT Averill contended that the legislature intended to give the commission the power to issue or withhold permits. He said that this discretion was taken away in only one instance. That related to rail- road permits. The section govern ing railroads says the commission shall" issue permits to this class of permittee. In regard to the other classes, of permittees he said the commission has discretionary powers. The control of liquor must be with the public health and mor- als in mind, he said. He said the com mission felt there were grave dangers attached to allowing drug gists to sell liquor in any quantity and at any time. He also contended that holders of druggists permits

Unbalanced d Federal
 Budget Still Exists
Despite Veterans Cuts SO-Called Economy Act Fails
 to Achieve Purpose Asserts Local Commander

Disabled and needy veterans from whose compensations and pensions $4OO,OOO,000 was cut last March for the ostensible purpose of "balancing the national budget" will be interested to learn that the federal deficit passed the billion dollar mark December 22nd. This figure represents the deficit for the first six months of the fiscal year. which began last July 1st.
 In citing these facts and figuures in an address recently to Post No. POI, Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States, Commander Vin- cent P. Mahoney assailed the so- called economy act. It reduced thousands of disabled veterans to privation and want and yet failed to achieve it's alleged purpose Of "balancing the budget" Command CT Mahoney charged.
 "Open acknowledgement on the part of the federal government that the principal purpose for which the so-called economy act was passed has not been achieved by one billion dollars constitutes a definite admission that it's pas- sage was a great mistake" Com mander Mahoney said. "The Wash ington, D. C., news dispatch which announced the billion dollar deficit "a deficit which exists in spite of the $40O, 100000 taken away from disabled veterans-also stated that the total federal expenditures for all purposes, in the period from July 1 to December 22, were $2.- 464,315,131, or within less than $13O,O00,00O of federal expendi- lures for the same period of the preceding year.
 "In other words, the federal gov ernment saved $400,000,000 on veterans pensions and spent ap- proximately $270.000.000 of that saving in spite of its excuse that

GOLD BILL WILL
 BE ALTERED TO
 SUTTPRESIDENT'
Emergency Basis to Stand But Control Board is
 Not Pleasing
BY H. o. THOMPSON United Press Staff Corrcspondent)

'
 Washington, Jan z4.-UP)- President Roosevelt is prepared to yield if necessary, to demands of some senators that his new gold program be placed on an emer- gency basis with time limitation, it was learned to-day.
 The president is opposed, how over, to the change written in yes- terdaY by the senate banking and currency committee whereby the ton fund would be supervised by a board of five members.
 As a result of the presidents attitude it appeared probable that control of the fund would be re- treasury, as in the bill pasesd by the house last Saturday.
 Senate debate on the dollar de- valuation bill was scheduled to open day with indications that the bill to Mir Roosevelt.
 The administrations opposition to the committee amendment call ing for diversified supervision over the stabilizatoin fund is based on
 
 a vital part of the funds opera tion.
 With the board controlled by a board Of five this necessary secrecy would be jeopardized, it is felt. Since any imtimations of the boards purposes would defeat it's objectives. particularly in the light of the broad international field of operations to stabilize the value of the dollar. the administration is desirous that this part of the bill be put back to its original form.
 The committee amendment lim- iting 2 the activity of the $2,000,- O0O,O0O fund to two years with a third year permissa ble at the dis eretion of the president is regarded by the administration as of less importance.
 Most of the senate opposition either to the bill as a whole or to particular features of 1t is centered in the banking and currency com mittee.
 The administration was believed capable, therefore, of having pret- ty much its. own way in any test submitted to the entire senate membership.
 The dem ocratic leadership, how ever, might prefer to make conces- sions rather than to tie up the bill in prolonged debate. It is considered necessary to put.the new monetary plan-transfer of federal reserve gold to the vaults of the federal treasury, fixing of limited range for dollar fluctuation and the setting up of the stabilization fund-into effect as quickly as pos sible.
 It was learned thath the leader ship is prepared to make every eff fort to curtail debate so that this program can be carried through expeditious1y.

spokesman for the japanese for

toned the policies of foreign ma
tions in seeking to hold Manchukuo
to the "open door, policy while
refusing to recognize her independ-

During questioning regarding
Manchukuo' oil monopoly pro-
gram, Amau pointed out that
Manchukuo promise to maintain
the open door was contained in
the same document which pro-
claimed her independence from
China in 1882.
81 cannot see why nations should
recognize the open door pledge and
not the announcement of independ-
ence,' the official spokesman said.
He emphasized however, that he
was expressing a personal opinion.

problem, Amau evaded direct an
