ROOSEVELT AND
LUTHER CONFER
German Ambassador Told
United States Creditors
Must Be Protected

Washington, Jan. 2-(UP)-
In a half hour White House con-
ference, President Roosevelt to-
day requested definitely of Am
bassador Luther of Germany, that
American creditors be given the
same treatment by his country as
the creditors of other nations.
The conference was brought
about by Germany's arbitrary re-
duction of interest payments on
debts which affected bond hold
ers in this country.
Ambassador Luther upon leav-
ing the White House took occasion
to deny reports that he was there
to discuss with Mr.. Roosevelt the
question of alleged Nazi prosecu-
ton of American citizens.
The president, it was explained.
by the White. House, talked about
payments due Americans by Ger
man states, municipalities and
corporations. which payments now
pass by decree through the Ger
was the third party in the discus
sions.
The ambassador went to the
White House at President Roose-
velts request. The presidents ra-
ther unusual action followed the
failure of the German government
to reply to protests made on two
occasions.
Germany proposed to cut inter-
est in cash to 80 per cent of the
original. Swiss and Dutch holders
of similar bonds were receiving
nearly 100 per cent.

the appropriations Subcommittee.
1t cut $1,585,148. Under budget es-
Inmates and $23,221,583 under the
amount appropriated for the pres
ent fiscal year.
Discussing the appropriation of
$1,80O,000 to start construction on

THREE DAYS OF
WORK This WEEK
FOR The CWA
There Will Be "a Hours of
Work Each Week Until
the End

CWA workers in Waterbury will
labor only three days this week.
Local Administrator William NJ.
Harris verified this fact today and
explained that the order is the re-
suit of the, ruling from Washing
ton, D. c., that hereforth towns Of
over $500 in population can use
the CWA employees "a hours In
stead of the previous schedule Of
80 hours.
The order to cut down the local
CWA workers from 30 to "a hours
was received Friday morning and
was supposed to take effect imme-
dfately. At the time the telegram
was delivered, though, all the local
forces were out for about three
hours and Administrator Harris
decided to leave them alone.
Therefore, with "a hours now al
lowed, meaning four 6-nour days,
the Friday worked last week must
be figured in on this weeks pay
roll, thereby Terminating the pres
emit week Wednesday afternoon.
Next week the week will be from
Monday to Thursday, inclusive, al
the rate Of six hours daily.
It was also learned today that
the paving project on Thomastor
avenue in Watervifle, which wa.
awarded last week, to the After
company of this city, will have to
employ CWA workers because the
grant for the work Is under the
provisions of the PWA.
Already, it is understood, Mr. AL
teri has visited CWA headquart-
ers and has looked over the list
of men eligible to work on the paw
ing project. In all, about rs men
will be hired. Director Arthur Ma
loney aided Mr. Altieri in perusine
the list Of men eligible for the work
to be undertaken.
Morton Tracy of Woodside ave.
nue.. well known building contrac-
tor who was named construction
engineer for the local CWA. visited
the affice Of Administrator Harris
today. He was named by Mr. Har-
ris and as construction engineer
will advise him on CWA projects
in this city. This will include the
Washington park community house
the Thomaston avenue job and the
golf course on East Mountain.

Judge Joseph B. David previous
ly has declared he would honor
such a petition If presented to him.
The poor state Of the defendants
health prompted the mistrial petit
ton. On several occasions she has
suffered heart attacks that caused
great concern while she listened to
the stae's charges.
The trial originally was sched-
uled for January 4, but was con-
tinued for q week because of the
woman physicians health. Two
more temporary delays were grant
ed to permit the defendant to re-
cover her strength.
Until to-day Dry Wynekoop had
been determined to continue the
trial at all costs. When judge Da-
yid ordered the bedside statements
to-day, however, DR. Catherine
Wynekoop, daughter of the defend
ant, preceded attorneys and physi-
clans to her mothers bedside and
pleaded with her to sign the mis-
trial petition. She finally agreed.
A transcript of conversations at
the jail cell of the defendant was
read before the court shortly there
after and it was revealed definitely
that DR. Wynekoop had granted her
attorneys permission to ask for the
mistrial declaration.
The Ncourt ordered a recess until
