 sion Described to Members

One of her last acts before leav- ing Hartford this morning, Miss Eleanor H. Little, state unemploy- , ment director told members of the Rotary club in an address at the Elton this noon, was to recom- mend to the commission that some method be devised whereby the city or Waterbury might receive a funds.
 At the conclusion of her talk. ana Tn response to her invitation to ask questions on the work of the state commission, a member of the audience asked Miss Little why the local quota of Federal funds was so much smaller than that granted other cities of the state.
 Miss Little said that while she realized the present policy was dis tlnctly unfair, federal regulations governing the dispensing of the funds prevented an increase iff the amount to be given to the. city as long as the Mutual Aid was in operation here. Money distributed Tn Hartford, New Haven and Bridgeport amounts to about one. dollar per capita while Waterbury's allotment is only 21 cents.
 The speaker said that an effort would be made to bring local grants to the lowest of the three largest cities of the state, and that several methods were now under

Four Amateurs Take TrO. phy From Professional
 Players in New York

New York, Aug 14.-(UP)- Four bridge players from Ohio, all strictly amateur were the new custodians to-day of the Asbury Park trophy, emblematic of the national team -four contract championship. They defeated the expert and professional combina- ton of Mrs Ely Culbertson, AL phonse Moyse, Jr, Theodore A. Lightner and Sherman Stearns in the finals of the American Bridge leagues tournament at the Ritz Carlton hotel. The winning team was composed of Aaron Frank, a lawyer, and Jeff Click, salesman. of Cleveland, and Charles H. Por- ter, copper firm executive, and William E. Hopkins, lawyer, of Cincinnati. They won by a mar gin of 2,550 points on AS hands.
 The victors found themselves in something akin to a quandary to- day. They couldn't decide whether the trophy, a bronze sculpture executed by Mrs P. Hal Sims, would go to Cleveland or to Cincinnati. Someone suggested that it should divide its time between the two cities during the next year. wen think it over," said Frank, spokes- man for the Cleveland half of the combination. We'll do the same thing" said Hopkins, speak ing in behalf of Cincinnati's rep- resentation.
 It was the first time in the tro- phys six-year history that 1t went west. The event at the Ritz-Carl- ton was a continuation of the bridge tournament which took place last week at Asbury Park, N. Y., where proceedings were enlivened by a fistic encounter be- tween P. Hal Sims and Oswald Jacoby.

ARCHITECT HOOD
 IS DEAD TO-DAY
Stamford Man Was Made Famous By Plans for
 Chicago Tribune

Stamford. Conn.,, Aug, 14-(UP) Raymond Hood, 52, one of Americas most famous architects. died today at his home near Stam- ford. Death, resulting from a com plication of diseases, came at 4 a. m. He had been i'll for several months, and recently returned to his home from the Johns Hopkins hospital in Baltimore. Regarded by many as Americas outstanding architects of this generation, Hood was the designer of such noted works as the Chicago Tribune building, the New York Daily News building, the massive crea- tions at Rockefeller City. the Me Graw-Hill building, and many of the structures for the Century of Progress Exposition in Chicago
 He leaves his wife and two chill dren.
 He was born in Pawtucket, R. l., was graduated from Massa chusetts Institute of Technology in 1903. and took a degree at the Beaux- Arts in 1911, in Paris. Back in America clients engaged him spar ingly and ten years ago he told his friends he was $10.000 in debt. Then, out of 281 plans entered in competition for S50,000 prize for the Chicago Tribune's building, Hoods designs won. He was set on the road to fame. The building, regarded by many as one of the most striking in America, is an extravagant structure, Gothic in detail and modern in every other respect. He was one of eight con- sultant architects for the Chicago fair, and not only planned the en- tire general scheme but designed in detail one group of buildings, the electrical unit

New Deal Policies OF President Face Test
Four Primary Battles Being Held To-day-Nebraska and Ohio Are Having Spirited Battles
 Over Their Nominees

presidential neutrality in a prim- ary.
 Bryan has denounced the AAA as "slitting the farmers throat from ear to ear.' He has been critical of other administration measures and has espoused reme- dies which critics claim amount to virtual cancellation of mortgages and other debt burdens.
 The republican senatorial nom- ination is also bitterly contested. Five candidates are in the race.
 In Ohio the race centers on the democratic endorsement for sen- ator with hot fights all the way down the ticket.
 The three democratic senatorical candidates are Rep. Charles West, advertised as the simon Pure' new deal candidate, Gov. George White and Former Gov. Victor Donahey. Donahey is the most reticent in his support of the ad- ministration. White takes a mid- de course. The outcome is ex- pected to be very close.
 Sen. Simeon D. Fess is expected to win the republican nomination by good margin although he has two opponents. He is a bitter op- ponent of the democratic regime and November race between him and West would draw the issue squarely.
 Interest in Idaho was mainly in the effort of Gov. c. Ben Ross tc win democratic endorsement for the third time. Should he win he will be regarded as the leading challenger to Sen. William E, Borah in 1886.

No Wooden Cops
 for Waterville

There can be no successor to Elmer.
 That decision has been reached by the police department after lengthy and careful evaluation of the situation and consequently, Waterville will have to do without a wooden traffic policeman. Only a ring of steel rotary standards will be hereafter at the intersect ction Of Thomaston avenue, Homer street and Huntingdon avenues.
 It was at this corner that Elmer stood so proudly. his arm directing drivers to the right. Saturday morning, alas. Elmer was demol- ished by skidding truck and his remains returned to the police sta tion.
 Elmer was so shattered that he couldn't be pieced together again, and 1t would be the height of sac crilege. thought police, to put an- other figure in his stead. Inside the ring where once stood Elmer, there is now only blankness and emptiness, for Elmer is no more.

Two primary contests out of four held to-day put New Deal issues up to the voters.
 The interest of political students was centered on the farm belt where contests nvolving tests of strength of New Deal supporters were going on in Nebraska and Ohio. The primaries in Idaho and Arkansas were largely local af- fairs.
 The Nebraska contest was the most spectacular. Rep E. R. Burke of Omaha and Governor Charles W. Bryan fought for the democra- tic senatorial endorsement.
 Burke is the candidate of Arth- UT Mullen, president Roosevelt's floor manager at the 1892 conven- tion. He is the author of the new deal definition quoted by MT Roosevelt in his Green Bay, Wis, speech last week. which was re- garded as a break with traditional

 Rains which fell over 15 states during the week end were supple mented today by widespread show CTS and more precipitation was forecast in Missouri, Iowa, Nebras- ka, Minnesota and the Dakotas.

New York, Aug. 14-UP)- Stocks turned irregularly lower and markets today generally re- sponded to the latest treasury an- nouncement which removed the imitation factor from the silver naturalization program.
 Prices in the share market nov ed down to net losses ranging to more than points. Heaviest de- clines were by silvers which had been bid up sharply in recent ses- sions. Steels slipped back on further bad news for the industry. Rails eased as did farm equip ments, motors, chemicals and a. musements. Local fractions were strong and a few special issues made gains.
 Grains declined except barley and rye. Wheat lost 1 1-2 to 1-4 cents a bushel, while corn was down Is to l 7-S cents. Cotton slipped back a few points. Rub- Der declined. Sugar futures were steady to firm. The livestock mar kets had feature in another rise to 3 3-4 year high for the top price on hogs. The latter was at $5.90 per hundred weight, the best since September, 1881, when the top was $6.85.
 Government bonds rallied furth CT and the dollar was stronger in terms of foreign exchange.
 Behavior of all markets was course that would indicate the financial cummunity's opinion on imitation from the silver nationali- zation plan. Until last night the plan had been regarded as infia- tionary but the treasury said the issue of silver certificates would be based on the cost of the silver to the government.
 Silver issues had been bid up on the naturalization plan but there was nothing in it to benefit the silver mines. The street has not turned bearish on the silver but
