HOUSE PASSED
 TREASURY BILL
Supply Measure for Post Office Dept Heated
 Debate Over It

Washington, Jan 26-(UP)-The house to-day passed the $S20,693.- 27O treasury postoffice supply bill after a heated debate over continu- ing appropriations for ocean and air mail contracts.
 Charges that many contracts were obtained by fraud were made by Rep Chase, repn, Minn, but the house failed to amend the section providing more than $50.000,000 for continuing such contracts.
 Rep Arnold, dem, H.. in charge of tine bill said that the contract appropriations were necessary and if ditched might make the govern ment liable for breach of contract.
 The bill carries 14,000,O0O for domestic air mail contracts, and $37,500,00 for foreign air and ships mail contracts, at least $40,250,00O of the total being actual subsidies, Arnold said.
 The bill appropriates $149,842,- 33O for maintenance and operation of the treasury and $670,S5O,94O for the postoffice department.
 Reductions from budget esti- mates were made for the coast guard, customs service and for other agencies affected by the re- peal situation.
 The measure was based on con- tinu. nee of the three cent postage rate during the next fiscal year. It was the fourth departmental sup. ply bill to pass the house this ses- sion. Others were, independent offices, navy, interior.

BREMER RANSOM
 MAY HAVE BEEN ALREADY PAID
Believe Family and the Kidnapers Are Keeping
 the Fact Secret

St Paul, Jan 26-(UP)-An air of fear and anxiety was gone today from the household of Edward c. Bremen, 36, Kidnapped banker. but police and relatives maintained ab- solute secrecy in regard to late de- velopments. AS the result of de- velopments of the past "A hours, both police and federal agents made public statements indicating that they were not interfering in any way with the efforts Of Adolph Bremen, the victims father and q personal friend of President Rocs- evelt, to negotiate the safe return of his son for s2o0,000 ransom. !.
 Reports persisted however that the ransom had been paid and that Bremen would be returned to his family before Saturday night.
 Adolph Bremen, Jr, the victims brother told the United Press that he had "every reason to believe that the authorities are laying oft until Eddie is safe." He refused to commnet on the report that Q delay between the payment of ran- som and delivery of the abducted man had been arranged by the kidnapers.
 There was no doubt, however. that once the president of the Commercial State bank of St Paul is safe at home, one of the most comprehensive drives in the annals of crime fighting will be started.
 The special anti-kidnaping squad of St Paul police has been chafing to be given a free hand in the case. In addition, scores of federal agents worked out of headquarters in Minneapolis, determined to cap ture the kidnapers.

 A controversy within the federal tion between craft unions and so- called vertical" unions embracing all types of workers in an industry was settled by agreement to or' saniZe in the future "in whatever form or method is best designed to rally wage earners to the cause of organized labor."
 Connery said his bill in con- gress was to write the 30-hour week in all codes and increase wages by maintaining former pay with reduced hours. He also asked equal represe of labor and management on all code authori- ties.
 Tho legislative proposals were approved by Wagner, who declared recovery codes should have re- duced working hours further at the beginning to absorb unemploy- nient.

CATHOLICS ARE SAVING MONEY
 FOR THE STATE
ParOchial Schools Relieve Conn of Paying Sum
 of $4,O0O,OOO

Almost 20 per cent of those at- tending elementary schools in this state are pupils in parochial schools, 1t is shown in the annual report of the diocesan supervisor of schools, Rev Austin F. Munich. The annual report, published in this weeks issue of the Catholic Transcript, reveals that Connecti- cuts 100 parochial schools have over 45,00O pupils and enable a saving to cities of more than $4.- 000,000.
 Waterbury ranks third in the state in number of parochlal school pupils. The city's eight parish schools have a total enrolment of 4.452, a figure exceeded only by Hartford and Bridgeport. In the high school division this city leads the state, with almost 800 regis tered in it's high schools for girls.
 Only Fell or 100
 Father Munich points out that total registration in parochial schools dropped only about 100 while public schools all over the state were showing much larger declines. He gives high praise to the zeal of pastors in making every effort to keep their school program dnaffected by the economic depres- sion.
 In making a protest against the present double tax system. the re- rort lists parochial schools in 46 communities of the state. These schools educate, free of charge to the community, more than 45,00O students.
 Necrology for the year includes one pastor and Il teachers, two of whom are from Waterbury, Sis ter Mary Augusta of Sts Peter and Paul and Sister Mary Carmel of Sacred Heart school.
 Total Number Here
 The largest enrolment at any of Waterbury's parochial schools is had by that of St Ann's parish, with pupils totalling 903. There are IT Sisters of the Holy. Ghost acting as teachers there under the supervision of Rev Ernest Lamon- tagne, principal. .s.,

HAS MADE READY FOR
 NEW GOLD BILL
Already Knows Experts Who Will Handle Bil-
 lions of Dollars
By H. o. THOMPSON

United Press Staff COrrespondenD
 Washington, Jan 26-UP)- President Roosevelt already has selected the experts who will guide the $2,0OO,00O,000 stabilization fund which will be established un- der the monetary bill now before the senate, it was learned today.
 Foreign exchange experts for each of the nations whose currency will figure in operations of the fund are included in the staff, which is said to embrace the best monetary talent available in the United States.
 The bill which sets up this fund and authorizes devaluation of the dollar was being driven by the democratic leadership toward a vote before the weekend recess.
 The senate met an hour earlier than usual today in an effort to speed the bill toward the passage which is conceded even by those most bitterly opposing some of its provisions.
 Majority Leader Robinson said he would not attempt to hold the senate in session tonight if he was unable to obtain a vote during the day. But that he was determined not to let the bill go over into next week.
 Republicans, who see no chance of defeating the bill, probably will accede to this program. Robinson said that the speeches in opposition thus far had been "good faith" discussions and that he had detected no signs of fili- buster.
 Senator Reed of Pennsylvania. and other republicans planned to speak today in renewal of the attack which found opponents of the measure centering their attack on the proposed one-man control of the stabilization fund.
 The bill as it is before the sen- ate contains a provision for con- trol of the fund by five-man board. Administration leaders are determined to strike this out ana restore control of the fund to the secretary of treasury as originally planned. The declare that the staff of experts to be employed Tn management of the fund does away with any idea that the secretary of the treasury would attempt to do all the work himself.

 Tucson, Ariz, Jan 26-(UP)- Capture of John Dillinger and his three confederates here without 6 shot being fired was accomplished through the excellent police work of members of the Tucson police department.
 It was little party all our own in which no member tipped his hand until we were ready to clamp down on the rendezvous of the bank robbers in a manner that gave them no chance to fight 1t out as they have openly boasted they would.
 We first had a suspicion that the men were in this territory when one of our detectives spotted 3 member of the gang on the street. He was recognized through pic- lures on circulars we had received.
 In a quiet manner we discovered the men were living at the Con- gress hotel which burned Tuesday night. Then one of the gang offered a local citizen $50 to get his bags from the burned ruins of the build ing. We shadowed him and discov- cred they had each rented a house in an exclusive part of town.
 Following them and watching every move for several days we mo- noticed all leave the home rented by Russell Clark. To-day group followed Charles Makley to ra- dio shop where he purchased a ra- dio and then as he stood before the Consolidated National bank we arrested him. He was the only one of the group that was not armed.

Estimates of how much the bill would add to present income rev. enues varied. Chairman Hill of the subcommittee which, worked on the problem said that despite various changes from the original recommendations between $270,- 100000 and $s0o,0oo,ooo should be added"
 The average citizen would bene- 1t from a tentative provision al- lowing a direct deduction of 10 per cent on net earned income up to $S,OO0. Under the provision 8 mar ried man, for example. with a sal ary of $4,000 g year and no chil- dren would pay $6 less income tax.
 At present, with a $2.500 exemp- ton he pays four per cent on $1,- 500 or $60 in tax. The change would allow him to deduct ten per cent from the $1,500 and pay 3 four per cent tax on $1,350. His tax under the provision would be $54.
 In previous tax laws the deduc- ton for earned income was sub- tracted for the tax after 1t was computed. Under this proposed measure the deduction Is made from the income after exemptions. It was estimated that the deduc- ton provision would save taxpayers $10,000,000 a year.

 At the same time the PWA state advisors board, fighting shy of anything which might indicate favoritism, to-day ordered rejection of all bids for the construction of the Hamden high school, a project for which the PWA has allocated $700,000.
 L. A. Hoffman, state engineer for the PWA, in letter to George W. Warner, first selectman of Hamden, said the project would be re-advertised and new sealed bids received by Hoffman and opened by him in the presence of proper Hamden officials.
 He wrote:
 "After a careful investigation of all the facts disclosed, and in order that no taint of favoritism in the awarding of bids may be attached to either the school board, it's or- chitect, the City of Hamden, or the public works administration, and due to certain items in the original bids having later been thrown out, the conclusion is reached that there wasn't sufficient opportunity for board bidding"
