the band which took $1S0,000 at the Penns Grove, Pa, bank earlier this year, planned and executed the holdup.
 2 Bootleggers who have been in penury since repeal of prohibition plotted the raid with the aid of some directing genius - former military man or former police man = and with the assistance of hoodlums of prohibition days.
 3 A new underworld leader, in- telligent, daring, able to dominate his mob and gifted with the imag- ination of stage director or or chestra leader plotted the robbery and directed its execution.
 The holdup plot involved several ingenius maneuvers to throw police off the trail of the fleeting outomo- piles and there was the possibility that the switch to speed boats was merely another blind intended to cover the back tracking of the out laws to some safe hideout not far from the scene of the holdup.
 Rare Criminal Leader
 The bizarre features of the crime the symphony or It's execution by dozen gunmen, the minuete de- tails of its scenario-like plot which were fitted together within space of eight minutes which the holdup required, all lent strength to the belief that police must cope with criminal mind of a rare type.
 Somebody made blueprints@ for that job," one police official said. This wasn't any ordinary mob. It was done by somebody with mili- tary ability and experience. There's nobody in New York gangs that could have done it. This is some thing new"

 Chase Companies
 The offices of the Chase com panies, Inc, stated tat pickup is hoped for in the fall. MT Goss' estimate was that the pickup would start late in September. The Chase companies did not feel pre- pared to make guess as to the time when the jump in business will come. With most all the off, cials of the American Brass com- pany absent from the city either on business or vacations, only q meager statement could be ob- tained there for the present.
 All Plants Feel Alike
 The present slump and the es- timate on the pickup is the same for all factories engaged in the brass manufacturing business. MT Goss said. Therefore, the Ameri- can Brass company is expected to experience the same hanging con ditions as the Scovill and Chase companies. The local clock facto- ries also anticipate an increase in business soon as their periodical pickup comes just before the Christmas buying season opens.

 lights Once More

Longme dow, Mass Aug 22-(U P)-Julia Sanderson, singing star, whose hit tunes still haunt the memories of American playgoere, observed her filth birthday anni- versary quietly here today, and ex- pressed a longing to return to the stage again.
 After five leisurely and profitable years in radio, the call of the foot lights is loud as ever for the girl with the lovely laugh" whose neighbors in quiet, hilly Longmead- ow know her as Mrs Frank Cru init.
 Seated in the living room of her modest white brick home with her grooming husband and co-star, Miss Sanderson said she'd like very much to go back on the stage again if the proper vehicle were found.'
 "If do," she unused, T hope it will be in a light comedy" She'd have felt her absence from the footlights much more keenly, she said, except that her network zroadcasts are given from the ater, in front of an audience"
 Miss Sanderson thinks highly of the musical comedies of the present day. "In my opinion" she said, Roberta and music in the air compare very favora bly, with the musical comedies of other days, and as thousands cheer is a very fine example of a perfect reve.'

 Many. and particularly relatives of the soldiers, refused to believe all had been killed. Legends grew of hundreds of Spanish soldiers toiling as slaves under the bak- ing sun or in the frigid mountain districts where the rebel tribes sheltered.
 A few weeks ago army Private Jose Gonzalez, missing for years, was arrested as spy in French Morocco. He said he was mem. Der of an ordnance convoy ann pushed by the rebels April IS, 1924.

(Continued from Page l.) preliminary plans with the presi- dent this week.
 Direct Relief No Answer
 Relief officials were unanimous today in an opinion that direct re- lief was not the answer to distress ing problems confronted by unem- ployed during cold, winter months. CWA accomplished it's major pur- pose last year. but Hopkins and his aides were disappointed.
 CWA, they explained, provided only one substantial form of em- ployment construction work. The new plan, they said, must place men on jobs for which they are fit.
 A graphic example of CWA con ditions was given by one official who told of a young. concert violin ist who dug ditches on a govern ment project. The pick and shovel were so had on the young mans hands that he may never recover his skill with the violin.
 As the first step in the new pro- gram. states will be urged to don, ble work relief expenditures. Un- less they cooperate and contribute more, the administrator probably will curtail its outlay. Many states still are relying 100 per cent on the government for relief.
 Spent Plenty of Money
 Since it began operations on May 2s. 1888, the relief administration has spent $944.037,224. It has n. Inft than S,800,000 families and 525,000 single persons are on relief rolls.
 Thousands of destitute have asked an opportunity to earn their federal money. FERA's work re- lief program has provided odd jobs for more than million.
 Relief officials want to speed up that program this winter and surpass the CWA employment mark. MT Roosevelt will be asked to provide more money from the REC.
 Proposed Program The new program is divided into six clasifications:
 1. Planning.
 9, Work on public property. in- cluding street and sewer improve mentS, highway construction, and inspect pest control. 3. Housing and demolition. 4. Production.
 5. Education.
 6. Health and recreation. The second of these six classi- fications is reminiscent of CWA, The remainder are expected to care for workers not accustomed to hard labor.
 Thousands of people are now busy in factories processing cattle from drought areas into canned beef and veal for needy families. School teachers have been placed In small schools which might otherwise have closed.
 Social workers are supervising playgrounds constructed by relief laborers. Women are sewing mat tresses and blankets made from government cotton.
 Officials said they hoped event. ually to remove from relief rolls all persons capable of employment. A survey now is being made to determine the number. Wages will equal the prevailing rate paid regu- larly employed workers.

 Mother On Stand
 During the trial this morning, Attorney Harry Krasow, counsel for the accused, placed Mrs Clara Brady. mother of the accused, Clara Brady, on the stand as a witness to bear out the testimony of the girl that she only came to Waterbury to visit Miss Robinson.
 A letter was introduced, received from the New Haven police de- partment, showing one Clara Brady was arrested in 1928 on a vice charge. Mrs Brady denied 1t was she. After all cases were disposed of but Miss Brady's, an adjourn ment was taken to check back on the letter. Mrs Brady changed her mind during the interim and ad- mitted to the arrest stating she did not remember what the charge was.
 Judge Reprimands Her
 Judge Mascolo severely repri- manded her and said she should consider herself lucky she was not facing charges of perjury.
 Judge Mascolo said he had made up his mind that if any such cases came before him as that this morning, he would make an exam pie of the violators in an attempt to halt their immoral conduct.
 Officers Fred Hickey and Patrick Moylan testified as to the raid and exhibited a partly filled gallon jug of shine. They made the raid they said on complaints of neigh bOrS

 The name of Mary Jane Russell will be recalled affectionately by hundreds of men and women prom inent in the public and private life of Waterbury. Notwithstanding the many years since she last pur- sued her vocation she was always remembered with every evidence o: gratitude by her former students and numerous friends. Senior res idents of the city will also recall that Miss Russell enjoyed the dis tinction of being member of the leading church choirs of the city and had also appeared with marked success in several amateur musical productions.
