STATES NEGLECT ALLOTMENTS OF THE GOVERNMENT
Only a Few Have Taken Advantage of the Offer
 of $8lS,O0O,OOO
BY HENRY T. GORRELL United Press Stan Correspondent


 Washington, Feb 2s.-OP)- Only a few thousand persons re- iceived direct mid winter employ ment on non-federal public works projects in the various states, cities and municipalities for which more than $818,00O,000 has been allotted by the public works administration, United Press survey disclosed to- day.
 On January 20, 1884, the PWA had authorized loans and grants affecting 1854 projects, including railroad improvements. Yet of- ficial records showed that but 230 projects have been started, and only 1898 persons have been di- rectly employed.
 The United States treasury re- ported that, despite the large sum allotted in the form of loans and grants to political subdivisions, 1t had actually realesd only $52,2S2,- 045 for such projects.
 Of the s$,300,00G,00 public works fund, now completely ear marked, the treasury has. released total of $723,574,204. This in cluded $400,00O,000 allotted to the Civil Works Administration which, in less than one month has credited with having employed more than 100000 destitute workers. Public works administrators in 16 states and Alaska notified the

James E. Moran Cites Reasons for Establishment of
 Credit Unions for Teachers in State Magazine

I reports are made to the state su- pervisory board, and the credit unions are annually examined in | the came way as banks.
 Every credit union starts small so that the officers, directors and committees may learn about the routine connected with their work business. The largest credit union in point of numbers (which nOk has assets of over $2,0O0,000) started with assets of less than S20. The credit union starts oper- ating when each of the originating group and officers makes his initial payment on his share subscription. As soon as there is 5000 collected loan of $50 should be made.
 Safety of Credit Unions for
 Investment
 A normal question in this day of many banks failures is as to whether the credit union is. a safe place for the members sAv- ings. The record of credit unions during these last few years is re- markable. While thousands of banks have failed, not one credit union has been closed by any state supervisory department. The only considerable losses suffered by teachers credit unions have been losses of surplus funds deposited in banks.
 Another question often asked is, how have the credit unions of school teachers organized to date worked out. They have been en- tirely successful in every instance. Typical are the credit unions of teachers in Des Moines, Ia; Provo, Utah, Chicago, III. (two-one for men and one for women teachers) San Diego, Cal; Stockton, Cal: Att South Bend, Ind; New Orleans, La; Springfield, Mass; Detroit, Mich; Highland Park. Mich; St. Paul, Minn.; Kansas City, Mo-: St. Joseph, Mo-; Rochester, N. r.; Memphis, Tenn; Dallas, Texas, Richmond, Va; Minneapolis, Minn; Indianapolis, Ind; Madison, Wis; and numerous other cities.
 Credit Unions Are Not An
 Experiment.
 It is evident from the foregoing that the credit union of school an accomplished success. Teachers nave proNeu over anu oNel dS"h in other states that they can com bine in credit unions for their won credit protection and effect sub- stantial savings. Many of us are strongly of the opinion that it would be to our advantage to op- crate credit unions in Connecticut. Whole hearted support of the rec omm mendations of our committee appointed by the representative as- sembly to- investigate the question will result in the passage of the necessary permissiVe legislation and the establishment of credit unions in this state."

DEFECTIVE BURNER
 CAUSE OF ALARM

Three companies of fire appara- tus responded last evening to a summons for a defective oil burner in the rear ofs36 Bank street.
 The companies were out but a few minutes. There was. no dam age. The oil burner created con- siderable smoke, which added to the uneasiness of the occupants.
