MONUMENT WILL
 HONOR FRANCE
Memorial to Be Erected Along Loire River
 Sicard is Artist

Paris - (UP) - The completed model of the national memorial to Anatole France was exhibited recently by Francois Sicard sculptor. It is to be erected dur ing 1894 along the Loire River across from La Bechellerie, where France died.
 The memorial takes the form of a semi-circular Greek colonnade with six Ionic columns. On a rock, inside the columns, Anatole France sits in contemplation, us he sat along the Loire many times in his later years.
 Sicard, lifelong friend of France and of Clemenceau. is nearing 70 and this may be his last great un- dertaking. His marble casted Minerva, the tombstone over the graves of Clemenceau an his father in the Vendee woodplot has been praised as his best work
 Sicard did the bust of Clemen. ceau which now is exhibited in the made the statue of Clemenceal which was erected at Sainte Her. mine in Vendee and durng a va cation at Clemenceau's wild re treat along the Vendee shore Sicard did a great owl on the rim of the well.
 Sicard was chosen for thu France monument because. he wa! a close friend of the author anC also because he was born at Tours near which La Bechellerie is To- cated. One whole wing of tho Tours museum Is given over tc Sicard's work.

 Corn, oats, rye and barley farm CTS have participated corresponds ingly in the better price levels, as recorded on the grain exchanges. It is safe to assert that all lines of business and industry have re- ceived needed stimulation from the improved farm e. purchasing power.
 The exchanges gave a good ac- count of themselves under trying conditions in 1888. The economic necessity of their free operation wa sobvious when they were forced to close for the first time in their -YuBq IBuongu eul SuIInp HIo]s!u ing holiday which greeted the in- coming administration.
 Receipts at Chicago of corn, rye and barley to December this year recorded a substantial advance over the similar period' of 8 year prev ious, lending body to belief that farmers participated in the higher range of prices despite q similar crop yield.
 On December 1. Chicago receipts were 8,256,000 bbls flour; 12,973,- 900 bu., wheat; 88,928,000 bu. corn ; 0,4O6,0 900 bu. oats: >6, ,633,00O bu. rye and 8,244,000 bu. barley, the aggregate being approximately 25,- 900 ,000 bushels of grain in excess of the first eleven months of 192.

MINE STRIKE IS
 LATEST THREAT
Anthracite Fields May ClOse-lOO,OOO Would
 Be Out of Work

Barre, Pa, January 12-- (UP) = A complete shutdown of mining in the anthracite coal fields was threatened today by the United Anthracite Miners of Penn sylvania. The new union, with a following of about 5O,O00 miners, plans to call strike tomorrow. Leaders said rowing pickets would operate in every section, closing the 176 collieries now working A general anthracite strike would throw more than 10000 men out of work.
 Heretofore the U.A.M.P. has confined it's activities to district No. l, of the United Mine Work CTS of America. Under tentative strike plans. the new union would extend picketing to districts z and 9, concentrating on the rich coal centers of Pottsville. Hazleton, Shamokin. Shenandoah, Mt Car mel, Ashland and Tamaqua.
 Leaders in the movement to strike said that they would put their 50,O0O followers out as pickets and prevent miners in the entire region from working. It was estimated there were more than 100000 miners now working full or part time and tie-up by pickets would force them into idleness.

Your only obligation is to come early before the samples are exhausted. Vendol is now sold by all leading druggists.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-01-12

No one can afford to decline this invitation. You may have taken other medicines and been disap- pointed but that is no excuse for not giving this new remedy a trial, especially when 1t costs you noth- ing to make a test. All you have to do is come to the Waterbury Drug Co.,, ask for me, the Vendol Man, and I'll give you a sample of the medicine which Is causing more favorable talk than you ever heard about any medicine.
 My medicine Vendol has been on the market for a number of years. l can quote men and wo- men in all walks of life and fields of endeavor who have taken 1t and declare it to be the finest prescrip- ton tonic they ever took.

Harris And Maloney Confer On Shifting
 Mutual Aid Workers
Local Directors Studying Matter TO-day-Skled Jobs to Include Carpentry. Painting, Etc - Other
 Communities Complain CWA Ignores Union

Local officials of the CWA to- day stated that they plan to CO., operate in every way with the var 1ous Waterbury unions in placing man on skilled work, such as car pentering. painting and so forth. Complaints have been made Tn other communities that CWA off cials have ignored union rules and have taken in many and all kinds of labor.
 Records at the local CWA office today showed every union man available and fitted for the work in question has been given the fullest of consideration. Of course, ex-servicemen have been also given first consideration and where union men were picked out the neediest and most fitted men were given jobs.
 Administrator William M. Harris and Director Arthur Maloney were in conference today on the mat ter of further studying the shifting of Mutual Aid men to the CWA. MT Harris stated that the subject is still being given thorough study.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-01-12

At the present time all those who were on the CWA and working at the Mutual Aid store and St Johns, have gone actively on the CWA payroll after being notified that they would have to do some other kind of work, such as prescribed by the CWA. The girls in the Mutual Aid office who went on the CWA are now back on the Mutual Aid payroll.
 Attorney Alfred Toscano of New Haven, district director of the CWA census program, is expected to come to Waterbury tomorrow to swear in his assistant for this section. Although there were many after the position, it has been decided to give the post to Daniel F. Bowes, well known newspaperman. An office of the CWA census bureau will be opened up in the local postoffice building, it is expected, also. The census bureau will work independently of MT Harris and MT Maloney. A real estate census project is about to start in Waterbury immedf- ately.

 o-(UP-History will re- cord 1933 as the most amazing and perhaps the most momentous year that the American farmer and the agricultural trades have experi- enced.
 As the year draws to m end we lind drastic changes, affecting every branch of agriculture, actually in operation. All have been inaugurated with the single view to regaining lost purchasing power of the far mer's products and thereby assist ing the entire national recovery.
 ] The new administration has kept this aim continually before it, and demedies applied have included bonus payments and other benefits to livestock raisers and the growers of our principal staple crops. It is : too early to anticipate the ultimate result. Personally, I am optimistic of the future for the farmer. It cannot be denied that he has the backing of the financial power of the United States government. New CT again can he justly complain of federal neglect. He finds himself the keystone of concentrated ef- forts for national rehabilitation. | The new ueal aC- WaSHluB tdH udS seen to it that the cotton planter of the south receives loans of 10 cents a pound; corn growers who agree to reduce their acreage 20 per cent will receive 30 cents a bushel in cash on not, to exceed 30 per cent of their average pro- duction the past five years; also, they are being loaned 4S cents a bushel on corn, at the farm; money inducements are being made to the wheat farmer; the hog breeder to reduce production; the govern ment has bought sucking pigs and sows by the millions; 1t has pur- chased and stored butter and has bought wheat for relief use. Each move has been made for the pur- pose of raising the price levels of commodities at their source.
 An encouraging item of the farm situation that might easily be over looked Is that despite a substantial break in the price of grains from their highs of the year, the Amer ican wheat grower, for example, is receiving almost 100 per cent

BREAK IN RANKS OF DEMOCRATS
 AS HOUSE VOTES
Leaders Were Taken Back , Some at the ClOseness
 of Voting
By EDWARD w. LEWIS Limited Press Stan Corresnnnden

NOulUeU ErcSS 0tdu COrFcSpOnUeuLD
 Washington, Jan 12. (UP)-A break in democratic house ranks over the economy ''gag rule" threatened to-day to mount into an uprising which may endanger con- troversial recovery program pro- posals of the administration. The revolt on the majority side worried the leadership. There were immediate fears that a group of 84 democrats who voted against the rule might align with the minority on such issues as increas- ed relief-aid appropriations, and repeal of veterans provisions of the economy act.
 Majority Leader Byrns made a plea to a turbulent house to adopt 8 drastic rule limiting amendments to economy sections of appropria- tion bills on the ground the mem- bership should stand by the presi- dent. He emphasized the unity of the recovery and economy pro- grams. Yet the rule was adopted only 197 to 192. All votes for it were cast by democrats. A total of 103 republicans, five former laborites and 84 democrats opposed it.
 So-called ''young democrats figured strongly in the revolt. Their attitude from now on appeared clearly expressed by Rep. Zion check, dem., Wash, who with the remainder of the democratic dele- gation from that state voted against the rule.
 1T believe that the Washington delegation generally Is behind the president 100 per cent but we rep resent our state, and we are not following the house leadership wherever they want to lead us, he said.
 House Minority Leader Shell ad- mitted he was surprised by the close vote, which Majority Geader Byrns said would be "a vital test of the presidents hold on the house."
 Speaker Rainey asserted he was "glad it occurred. The question is whether the presidents economy and recovery program will be sus- tained by the house. I'm glad the country can realize it."
 The majority leadership, It was understood, may entirely abandon it's plan to change the controver- sial discharge petition rule, as 2 result of the break yesterday. Al present 145 members may force consideration of g. bill by signing a petition. Rainey and Byrns wan the rule changed so 21S signatures are necessary.
 The independent offices suppl.
 bill was before the house today
 Leaders hoped to pass it befor' adjournment. It carries the admin istration recommended provision for a five per cent restoration o' the 15 per cent salary cuts. Under the rule adopted yesterday nc amendments can be made to the pay cut section except by the ap- propriations committee.

(By Un1teO FrcSS) Washington, Jan 12.-(UP)-- Twelve years ago Rep Focht, repn, Pa, in congressional debate called the district represented by Tom Blanton. dem, Texas, the jack rabbit district. Blanton. one of the most inde- fatiguable dry orators in congress resented it. He wasn't sorry when the voters failed to return Focht to congress the next year. But the voters of Pennsylvania have changed their minds after more than a decade. Focht IS pack in the house of representatives, again, and Blanton is none too nap py about it. At the first oppor- tunity the other day, Blanton de- manded of Focht:
 1T remember that once you called my district the Jackrapplt district, didn't you?"
 "Yes," retorted Focht, and l suppose 1t Is yet"
 Blanton replied but his words were drowned in the laughter of his conferees.
 In the back of the house cham her on the republican side, is the "Cherokee strip" newly christened | by Representative Lemke, republl- can, North Dakota.
 There sit all the Farmer-L Labor representatives and most of the radical republicans. During an>ad- . dress Lemke made an impassioned gesture toward them and called them sitters in the "Cheroke strip" . Succeeding speakers made the same reference.
