at the Crocker National bank in Turner's Falls. in western Massa- chusetts, December 13.
 The attractive Norma Millen, in custody of her father, the Rev Norman Brighton, at their Natick home, flared with indignation when reporters brought word that Faber who was best man at her wedding four months ago, had accused her of acting as lookout" in connec- ton with the Fitchburg murder.
 That's not true!" she exclaimed eyes flashing. He always hated me. I don't know why. l never liked him either"
 Norma said she sometimes won- dered how her husband could af- ford $45 a week apartment, but never realized he was doing any, thing really crooked.
 Those whom the state will seek to send to the electric chair, on gun slaying of two Needham po- rahani NJ. Faber, 24-year- old col lege graduate who allegedy has "confessed all," and Murton and II NiIits Ahiiitii, AiA w" ONN NH pending extradition.
 Meantime exrtadition papers were presented to Governor Ely for signature to-day and 1t was an- nounced that state detectives would go to New York Sunday prepara- tory to starting formal action on Monday for return of the Millen brothers to Massachusetts.
 District-Attorney Dewing reiter- ated to-day that no immunity would be shown Mrs Norma Brigh- ton Millen, youthful daughter of a minister and .our-month bride of Murton Millen. whom Faber has accused of complicity in one of the murders charged against the trio.
 Fearful that the dapper. roman tic Faber, whose reputed confession is mainstay of the states case, might attempt suicide in his cell at Dedham jail, authorities of that in- stitution took extraordinary pre- cautions to-day.
 Faber's belt and all other ar ticles of clothing which might make possible self f-destruction by hanging were remsved from him. Three guards were assigned to watch over him, each doing an eight-hour stetch daily at his cell. All meals will be served to him in his cell and he will be allowed but one spoon, which will be taken away as soon IS he finishes eating, officials announced.

It was stated at the office of Police Chief Thomas F. Evans in Natick that authorities discounted suggestions that someone might make an attempt on Norma's life because of her alleged connection with the killer bandits. The family had not requested any guards for the home, it was said.
 The Norfolk grand jury yester- day returned first degree murder Indictments against Murton ana Irving Millen, Boston brothers awaiting extradition from New York to Massachusetts, and Abra- ham M. (Abe) Faber, who is held at Dedham jail.
 The indictments resulted from the machine gun killing of Police men Forbes A. Mcleod and Frank o. Haddock during q $l3,9OO rob bery at the Needham Trust com- pany February 2. These were two of four murders which Faber, 24 year old honor graduate of Massa- chusetts Institute of Technology. alleged1y has confessed that he and the Millens committed.
 Overnight developments in the many-sided investigation of the worst wave of banditry and murder in Massa c husetts history included:
 1--Norma, the pretty IS year old bride of Murton Millen, repudiatel Faber's statement that she served as lookout" for the trio when they murdered Ernest w. Clarke, manager, in an attempted robbery at Fitchburg sporting goods store December II last. (Fitch- burg police said nevertheless they would take action against her fol- lowing her appearance as a state witness at the murder trial of her husband and the other two mem.
 2-Norma admitted that she drove the trio home in another car after they had set fire to a large Packard sedan in the Norwood woods in an alleged effort to de- stroy evidence of the Needhar1 murders. But she added: "I only knew vaguely. l didn't understand it. had suspicious, but nothing real"
 3-At Washington, State Detec- tive John Stokes of Massachusetts discovered in safe deposit vault hired by the Millen brothers $4,730 in $500, $20. $10 and $5 bills, identified by serial numbers as pars of the Needham loot. Au- thorities said this accounted for all of the loot except Faber's share.
 4--District Attorney Dewing set March 26 as the tentative date for the trial of Faber and the Millens.
 5---Faber, in what police de- scrlbed as a supplementary confess sion. blamed the Millen brothers for two hoid-ups, one of which was marked by shooting, at the Oriental theater in Mattapan. The first robbery netted nothing and the second only $89. he said.
 .6--Authorities expressed the be- lief that the trio might have been implicated in a x35,000 held-up at tho BrOokline Trust ccrfpany last october 1, q $20.O00 hold-up at the First National bank of North Easton November 10, and a $20.0OO hold-up at the Wollaston branch of the Quincy Trust company De- cember 4. but that they apparently had no part in s23sO00 robbery

 The Roosevelt plan is to peg the dollar to the price level when it reaches the desired level.
 This may mean the "commodity dollar" urged by Prof. George F.. Warren of Cornell, his chief mon- etary adviser. At any rate, the at- tempt would be to keep the pur- chasing power of money steady by changing the gold value of the dollar slightly from time to time.

Torrington's tax rate was re- duced by three-tenths of a mill by the board of finance at yesterdays meeting at city hall. The new rate is 1885 mills-13.5 mills in the first district and mills in the sec ond district--as compared with last years rate of 18.8 mills-13.9 ills in the first and 4.9 mills in the sec- ond district.
 The lower rate is made possible owing to cuts in the budget and would have not been greater were 1t not for the fact that a consid- erable reduction was made in the grand list.

Rules Banking System

g
 The banking system now is un- der unified federal control through deposit insurance and the RFC's billion dollar investment in pre- ferred stock. Strict regulation and government leadership are assur- ed. When Roosevelt took office, 10.- 900 banks had closed since 1920 and he had to close the rest of them at once to avert catastrophe.
 By making hoarding a crime and weeding out insolvent insti- tutions, he prevented further runs.
 Big banks which had engaged in an orgy of security-peddling are separated from investment af- filiates by the Glass-Steagall act, which also contains many other bank reforms and regulations. All bank deposits up to .$2500 now are insured fully, and those up to $10,000 will be in a few months. Investors Protected
 Moved by the fact that hun dreds of thousands lost their savings through about $25,00O,- 100000 of worthless securities in 10 years, Roosevelt vigorously sponsored the securities act, which requires the fullest infor- nation as to all new securities to be filed with the federal trade commission, with penalties for misrepresentation.
 Recently, Wall street was ups set all over again when Roosevelt asked for strict legislation con- trolling the stock market and commodity exchanges and the senate committee introduced g. bill aimed at short sales, marginal tradings, pool operations and ac- tivities of specialists on the floor. The general administration aim is to protect the innocent investor and stop market racketeering at the expense of business structure.

Living Cost to Rise

Higher prices mean higher cost of living. Millions of us are going to be squeeZed-at least tempo rarily-since it is automatic that wages and salaries go up more slowly than prices.
 Meanwhile. however, farmers, business men, and others who owe money will find it easier to pay their debts. As fixed charges be- come easier to pay, there will be more money with which to buy goods.
 Recent monetary moves insure a huge expansion of bank credit, coinciding with a heavy return of American capital from abroad and intensification of the admin istration effort to convert banks to a more liberal lending policy.

wolld buy the same amount of goods and pay the same amount of debt as seven years ago. He wants a dollar with permanently stabilized purchasing power.
 Trade Is Stimulated
 Rising prices stimulate busi- ness. The depreciated dollar, according to Roosevelt, will raise commodity values to q level which will "enable agriculture and industry once more to give work to the unemployed"
 The dollar, since its recent de- valuation, contains but 59 per cent of it's former gold value. The domestic price. level, though grad ually rising, has not been affected violently,

Tax Tilt Avoided


 No general tax increase Is on this years program. Thanks to the new liquor revenue, some excise taxes have been repealed. But congress hopes to raise $500, ,000,0O0 in new revenue through plugging loop holes in the present law, impetus for which came from the senates $ investigation of the J. P. Morgan firm.
 Aside from imitation, the. ad- ministration is waging direct offensive against the debt burden. Federal agencies are refinanctng farm and home mortgages and Roosevelt significantly has assert ed that private, industrial and other debts should be sealed down by interest reductions.
 He especially emphasizes inter est rates on municipal debt, home and farm mortgages and rail- road securities. He is supporting the Wilcox bill. designed to scale debt charges of about '1500 cities and towns now in default on their bonds.

Credit Is Safeguarded

Economic developments and political pressure compelled infla- ton. Always intent on restoring the 1926 price level and reducing the depression's intolerable burden of debt, Roosevelt obtained from congress the permissive Thomas amendment and stalled off imitation by legislation.
 He wanted to manage infiation himself. He believes he can con tro1 it.
 The president never has lost sight of the vital need of preserv- ing government credit. Billions of dollars of that credit are be- ing used to put over the recovery program-and 1t must be good.
 There are nearly as many the ories and doubts about the money policy as there are monetary ex- ports, but the objectives are ex- pressed simply by Roosevelt him. self.
