Hebrew Association
Opens Drive For F unds
Seeks $5OOO'to Expand Activities in Advancing Free
Loans sadore Dibner Chairman

The additional amount being
sought will provide margin
which will allow the Free Loan
association to continue its impor-
tant mission of giving temporary
assistance to those who have need
of it.
= In its 20 years of existence, the
association has helped hundreds by
its loans, which are made without
interest charges and paid back in
small weekly amounts. It has
grown in membership and in scope
until now it Is one of the city's
most important credit groups.
Limit Extended
With the limited funds which it
had at its beginning. the associa-
tons largest loans were of $40
amounts. The years since then
have seen the top amount loaned
rise to the 5000 mark, and the sue
cessful completion Of the present
drive will raise it to $500.
Members of the association feel
that the present conditions call for
the larger maximum amount. They
believe that the granting of such
sums will help many small firms
and individuals to regain SUBJ
stantial footing and thus help To-
cal conditions generally.
Pledge cards will be given out
at the meeting tomorrow night

Washington, April 3.-(UP)-
An effort to throw full publicity
on all income tax returns to re-

ate stock market investigation,
was planned to-day by Senator
Robert M. LaFolletet, r., Wis.

the fight which he intends to make
in connection with the $330, 900, 900
talk bill now before the senate.
Strict secrecy prevails on income
tax returns now. Persons handling
returns in the internal revenue bu-
reau are subject to severe penal
ties for any mention of individual
incomes or deductions outside their
offices.

treasury by tax lodging in the last
ten years. 1t is claimed that most

One argument against opening
tax returns to pu4ic inspection is
that it would provide a fertile field
for curious persons interested in
the income Of neighbors, friends or
business associates or rivals. Ad-
vocates of publicity say that inspec-

discourage itself because Of the
vast am Qunt of research necessary.

NAUCATUCK BOYS
HAVE CLOSE CALL
Canoe Goes Over Falls as
Trio Her0ically Swim
to Safety
Especial to The Democracy

Naugatuck, April S.-Three local
bows had a close call Sunday after
noon when an Improvised canoe in
which they were riding was swept
over the falls in the Naugatuck
river Just above Ellis station on
North Main street. 1t will be re-
called the river was quite high at
that time and there was a strong
undercurrent. The boys heroically
swan to safety.
The boys, whose names could not
be ascertained, had proudly en-
parked on their voyage, having
built the canoe themselves. They
knew Of the falls but endeavored
to keep their boat away from the
falls. However their makeshift
paddles were of little use when the
boys came in contact with the
strong undercurrent.
AS their canoe was being carried
over the falls the boys jumped into
the river and swan to shore. Spec
tators who saw the mishap con-
sidered the boys lucky that more
serious damage did not result. The
canoe was carried over the falls
and was badly smashed up, it is
understood. The boys assisted each
other to get, to shore and aside
from wetting were not visibly af-
fected. Local youths who venture
out on the river are warned to be
careful, particularly when the river
Is high following a rain as occurred
Sunday.

twenty-five building permits for

during the month of March at the
office of the building inspector. The
monthly report shows q large in
crease in number of permits grant

slight gain in value.
Nine of the permits granted last
month by building Inspector Pat
rick Carlin were for residential
buildings. Two for work estimated
at $1,000 were for new dwellings,
while tho other seven were for al
terations in residential buildings.
The seven had total value of

An encouraging sign as far as
local conditions are concerned, the
number of permits granted last
month apparently marks the be-
ginning of considerable building
activity. Construction and altera-
ton work has been at a virtual
stand-still for some months, but
has begun to pick up since the
first of the new year.
A further advance in building
figures is expected this month and
