INDUSTRIES AND
 BANKS TO UNITE

(Continued from Page 1.) bills tobe sponsored by the admin istration and programs whcih pow erful groups in and out of congress will try to compel MT Roosevelt to accept.
 Spending includes imitation, housing, unemployment relief, the veterans bonus, continuation of the CCC and a variety of policies which require financing from the treasury.
 The decision of MT Roosevelt and congress for instance, will de- termine when and how the budget shall be balanced That decision will inform the administration how much it must continue to borrow to meet its deficit. When the prob- able volume of new government borrowing is known, the admins tration will know the extent to which it must obtain control over banks to insure source of supply for the money it needs to finance emergency expenditures.
 Legislation dealing with social security, industry, labor and finance will consist largely of rules and conditions under which the people shall live and work. Most of the spending involved in these latter policies will be done from private funds.
 Banking and industrial propos- als that business cooperate with the New Deal in future recovery efforts are generally interpreted as a move to obtain White House aid against an unpredictable congress. Business leaders feared the new congress, including an unusually large delegation of freshmen mem- bers, might bolt the administra- ton to devise more radical New Deal of it's own.
 MT. Roosevelt, 17 days before congress meets, appears to be fair ly secure against serious congress sional trouble except on the issue of paying the veterans bonus. Every president who tried to inn pose economy on the veterans has been defeated on Capitol Hill. MT. Roosevelt probably will be able to find a compromise which will turn congress away from the $2,2O0,- 000.O0O outright imitation involved in paying the bonus. But he scarce ly can hope to dispose of the issue without giving some ground.

FIVE WORKERS ON
 WAY TO CHURCH
 MET WITH DEATH
Heavily Loaded Truck Skids on Icy Hill Into
 Concrete Post

Great Harrington. Mass, Dec 11. (UP)-The death toll of Sunday truck accident involving IS eco workers mounted to five to-day whom Ralph Pent, 19. of East Bos- ton died at a hospital from skull fracture and brain concusion.
 The eco boys were enroute from Sandisfield state forest to mass and communion at St Peters Roman Catholic church here when the heavily-loaded truck skidded on ice-coated three-mile hill, crashed into concrete post and overturn- ed. Police attributed the tragedy to excessive speed.
 Those killed outright were:
 Benoit Helie. 19, Holyoke: Fran cis Kippenberger, IS, Revere; James Lavey. IS, Cambridge; Sel- don J. Holland, 19, Chelsea.
 When the Rev James Donahue, curate of the church. heard of the accident he sped through blizzard to administer the last rights to the dying, including Holland. a Bap- tist, who. habitually accompanied his catholic friends to mass.
 The names of two of 10 others injured were on the danger list They were Francis Genasiak, 19, of South Deerfield. who suffered a fractured pelvis. and Frank Cap pazzato, 19. of Worcester. who suf- fered a broken shoulder and seri- ous back injuries.
 Those recovering were: Edward Doyle, 22. Roxhury: John McHu~h 25, Lynn; Walter Belmont, 19, Jamaica Plain: Justin Mct'arthN, IS. Lynn: William ]. Filler, 20, Revere. the driver; George Hooley. Everett: Carmelo Natoli. Waltham and Charles A. Sitman. Cambridge.

 At least one committeeman Sen. Bennett Champ Clark, demo- crat. Missouri-will urge legisla- tion early in the next session de- signed to put industry in the same position as citizens drafted for war duty.
 Clark said he would offer a bill authorizing the government to de- mand production by private manu- lecturers at reasonable compen- sation." The American Legion, of which the Missouri senator is a member, supports the proposal.
 Men Got No Privileges
 Men who fight in the trenches never have an opportunity to argue with the government over hours and pay" Clark said. "Why should industry have that privilege?"
 Nye IS drafting legislation in tended to eliminate war profits by drastic income taxes. He said h. would urge a 98 per cent levy on wartime incomes of more than $10,00O. "Such a law" he said, twill make war look less pleasing to profit-seeking munitions mak- CTS"
 Further indication the commit tee favor some control over mu- nitions manufacturers was given by Sen. Warren Barmour, republi- can, New Jersey, a member of the Investigating committee, in New York address last night.
 Barbour called for federal li- censing of munitions makers, but opposed government ownership of factories which manufacture war implements.
 "Our path should like between the two extremes" he said. "1 would like to see the establishment of strict federal licensing system covering the exportation of all do- mestic products that, either direct ly or indirectly, become part of the essential implements of war.
 "Conceivably the cause of world peace would be only partly ad- vanced were this nation to stand alone in the enactment of such hu- manitarian laws. But I am con- vinced we would not stand alone for long. and that one by one the great powers would fall in behind us."
 He said the committee had found that "unbridled manufac- ture, sale and distribution of war materials by private interests en- courage heavy arming and finitely jeopardizes the cause of peace"

Through the medium of its weekly bulletin. the State Depart ment of Health today extended Christmas greetings and best wishes for healthy and happy new year to. public health workers and tc the Connecticut public in general commenting on the fact that Christmas in 1884 would be merrieI due to lives saved from half q dozen diseases which in the past have levied a toll of thousands oi deaths annually. Likewise, the de- partment reported, there is a moro conspicuous absence of illness ths year than ever before.
 Although the state suffered an extremely severe winter in 1854, it was spared the devastating drought and excessive heat which did such damage in the middle west and mortality records for the first ten months of the year have been especially favorable, the bull letin said. Despite extremes or weather, health work goes on daily through the efforts of health ott- cials and cooperating physicians, so that the State has progressed greatly as compared with earlier days, say 50 years ago.
 The bulletin contained a statls- tical table showing the decrease in deaths from the six diseases re- ferred to in the first ten months of 1884 as against the first ten months of 1884, half century ago. The totals were as follows: Typhoid fever, 1884, six deaths, 1884, PA deaths; pulmonary tuber- culosis, 1894, 539, 1884, 1,25S; scarlet fever, 1884, ten, 1884, 195; diphtheria, 1884, three, 1884, 2S6; measles, 1884, six, 1884, 4S; whooping cough, 1884, 1S, 1884. 61. Connecticuts population in 1884 was 672,1S6, while in 1884 it was 1,7OO,722 or two and one-half times as great. This means that death rates have been cut tremen- dously more than is reflected Tn the actual number of deaths.
 If the same force of mortality was operating in 1884 as in 1884, about 560 deaths could have been expected this year from typhoid fever, 3,095 from tuberculosis, 4S7 from scarlet fever, 715 from diph- theria, 107 from measles, and 152 from whooping cough. This would have been q total of 5,116 deathS

 These reductions are for mortal- ity only and are not concerned with cases of sickness for each of the diseases. Had the "good old days been still existing in 1884, there would have been about 5000 cases of typhoid in stead of the actual 43. Scarlet fever would have yielded 4,000 cases instead of 1,690 in the first ten months of 1884; and diphtheria would have contributed 1000 cases instead of the actual IF.

Austrian Crisis Europe's

Great Britain is in an embarrassing
position as a result of the Austrian
situation. opposed to placing on the
League the strain of having TO deal
with the Austrian situation, the Brit
ish, nevertheless. are reluctant to see
the German state enlarged by union
with Austria. At the same time, they
are even more unwilling to see mill
tary Intervention to prevent it. They
hesitate to bring political pressure to
bear on Germany lest this interfere
with their efforts to induce Germany
to reduce her armament. A few among
them are sufficiently realistic to see
that the enlargement of Germany's
population and territory is likely to
be more dangerous to European peace
than the present addition Of 100000
men to Germany's army.
Whatever the final decision with re-
spect to the present crisis, the future
of Europe is likely TO be determined
by the fate OF Austria now, as on nu-
merous previous occasions. It was the
murder Of the Austrian Archduke
Franz Ferdinand In the then Austrian
town Of Serajevo on the 28th of June
in 1914 that led to the World War. n
was the threat of the union of Austri@
and Germany in March, 1881, which.
as already explained, resulted in the
world financial collapse. What hap
pens in Austria during the next few
months is, therefore. of worldwide
significance. The decision may be de-
layed, but this VIII simply postpone,
not solve, the European crisis.

mines OF Silesia, which are today in
Polish hands and which formerly be-
longed to Germany. It needs only a
superficial knowledge of European his
tory to see that the mere possibility
of such far-reaching changes is
enough to create q crisis of the first
order.
For France these changes would be
alarming in the extreme. She depends
on Czechoslovakia and Poland to Gre
ate a balance of power against Ger
many. With this balance upset, and
with Germany greatly strengthened
by the acquisition of Austria, France
would be in constant fear Of ultimate
annihilation at the hands Of re-
armed German state.
Italy breads the Anschluss as much
as does any other nation in Europe,
for the reason that she fears that the
Germans not only will demand the
German-speaking sections Of the
Tyrol, which Italy annexed after the
World War, but that she also will
insist on acquiring an access to the
Adriatic. The present Italian city Of
Trieste was the principal seaport Of
the old Austrian Empire. Although
