BUILDERS TO TAKE
 ACTION ON RELIEF
Local Exchange Meets
 Wednesday to Discuss EZRA Projects

Further action to obtain what is considered from the standpoint Of focal contractors as more equit- able distribution of relief funds will be taken at meeting of the Waterbury Builders Exchange to be held Wednesday night in the Chamber of Commerce building, it was learned today.
 Dissatisfaction over recently inaugurated settlers village devel- opment at Middlebury, a Mutual Aid-FERA project, regarded by To- cal contractors as further evidence of injustice in the apportionment of relief funds, has led to the nec- essity fro further action, accord ing to officials of the exchange.
 The exchange has gone on rec ord on several previous occasions as being emphatically opposed to the use Of EZRA or Mutual Aid labor for construction projects and ma de known their objections in an official protest to congressman and senators for the local district sev- erai months ago.
 The meeting Wednesday night will be for the purpose of studying tho new relief measure as it per- tains to the contracting industry and determining a course of &C., tioE.
 Officials of the organization point cut that the only possible re- course will be another protest to the national representatives and that if it is decided that contrac- tors are again being overlooked in the new relief scheme. this course will probbaly again be fol- lowed.
 The local association has pre- viously aligned itself with the state organization in registering the pro- tests with relief officials.

 Dr Paul Joseph Goebbels, min- ister of propaganda and public en- lightenment, lauded Hitler in a wireless speech.
 Goebbels went to some length to describe Hitler's simplicity. He told what the Reichsfuehrer-cha cellor ate and added that he ate the same food regardless of whe- ther he was eating alone or at a state dinner.
 Also, he said, Hitler unlike other leaders wore only one deco ration, the iron cross which he won for bravery in the World War.
 During the ceremony, 1t was an- nounced that in addition to the 27 airplanes given Hitler by his storm troopers, the Kyffhaeuserbund League of World War veterans had presented him with IA planes "as special thanks for uniting idvid- ed nation and giving it honor. reputation and defense power"

Pension Bill Passed
 Offers No Exemption
Army Servicemen and Bremen, Excluded From Taxes
 in Past to Receive Bills Next Year

Several thousand Waterburians who have been enjoying exemption from personal taxes due to army service, and because of their con- nection with the fire department or for the reason that they were over 60 years of age will begin re- ceiving old age pension bills next year. The old age pension bill passed in the house this week and due for action in the senate on Tuesday offers no exemptions and, furthermore, raises the age limit for payment of the tax to 65 years.
 While there are approximately 23,000 persons on the personal tax list, the total will be greatly in- creased next year when the thou sonds of persons exempt from the personal tax areobliged to pay the new ol dage pension tax.
 The law pending in the legisla- ture provides for the elimination Of amounted to $2 annually. The new old age pension tax will be $3 year ly, an increase of $1 for those who have been paying the personal tax in the past but an added expense of $3 for those who have been en- toying exemptions.
 The $3 old age pension tax has met with much objection. It was the original idea of the old age pension advocates to have the money for old age pensions come out of the states general treasury. The law now pending was drown up by Senators Cornelius Costello, republican, of Groton, and Rep John McGarry, also a republican, of New London. It is expected that when the bill istaken up for &C., ton on Tuesday in the senate that an effort will be made to make persons over 60 years of age liable for the old age pension tax.

During the past few months the most notable innovation. in the To- cal schools has been the increasing popularity of the weekly assembly programs. Elementary school pu- pills in practically every grammar school in the city are participating in the entertainment programs, de- signed to introduce in the Water- bury schools the new trend toward socialization and the development of latent talent.
 So popular have the programs become that in recent weeks stu dents eagerly request entertain ment assignments instead of wait ing for suggestions from the teach CT as was the case when the assem- ply periods were first inaugurated. Mot popular of the varied forms of entertainment are the little

PARKING PROBLEMS CONFRONT BOARD
No Definite Decision Given on Request for Bus
 Stand

More careful consideration of requests for bus stands by trans portation companies in the future can be expected if the board of police commissioners follows the example it set this week in hand ling the application of the New England Transportation Co. for the creation of no-parking area or the north side of the Green, across from The Elton, so that the space might be used as bus stop. The board did not refuse the applica- tion, but neither did 1t grant it.; instead, through it's traffic com mittee, it gave the bus company permission to stop its vehicles momentarily on the cross-wall1 across from the hotel, alongside the line of parked cars.
 There is little doubt but that the boards failure to grant the com. pany's application was the result of the widespread opposition on the part of the public after the company's request was made pub lie two weeks ago. Local drivers had no hesitancy in declaring that they saw little need for the clos ing of another popular parking zone to cars, WAile merchants conl- plained that 1t was another proof of the trend toward an even more veging problem than now exists.
 Had the bus company been granted it's petition for the estab- lishment of a bus stand on the north side of the Green, from Prospect street to North Main street, drivers would have been deprived of considerable space which is now used for parking. The traffic committee of the board had this in mind when it sugges- ted to the bus company that the Winsted- -Waterbury-New Haven buses stop momentarily on tho crosswalk rather than attempt to pull in to the curb.

all Germany was honoring him as
 its hero. might be g real present to Europe.
 There had ben talk that the note
 would be an uncompromising one. Instead, 1t was indicated that Hit Ter foresaw a period of difficult negotiation which, in the end, would find Germany with a good | record in the general effort to ef- feet European pacification. His note was delivered, by mes- senger, ambassador minister, charge or secretary, to Argentina, Australia, Chile, Czechoslovakia, Italy, Mexico, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Turkey and Russia. It was remarked that the note was sent to all members of the council, including Denmark, the one nation which abstained from the vote which condemned Ger many for violating the Versailles treaty by decreeing on March 16 compulsory army service and ad- hitting the long known fact that Germany had military air force. Blarc of Martial Music The blare of martial music, and the tread of hobhailed army boots past the chancellery, marked the change which the Reichsfuehrer has wrought in his country's policy.
 His chief birthday present, too-- 27 fighting airplanes to be added to Germany's army air force, ab- solutely forbidden under the Yer sailles treaty-was indicative of the, new Nazi Germany which he brought into existence.
 But these manifestations in Hit ler's honor were of subordinate in- terest to the expectation that he would mark the day with a state ment upon which the immediate future of European diplomatic ne- gotiation would depend. It was only a little more than two years ago that Hitler came in- to power. Austrian-born draughts- man, volunteer in the World War wounded and almost mortally gass- ed during four years in the mud of the trenches, political fanatic who steered straight course for years during which he was ridi- culed as scatterbrained, he found Germany near-socialist republic when he became chancellor in Jan uary, 1883, and made of 1t a dic- tatorship in which he is president. as we'll as chancellor, ruling abso- lutely.
 Precipitatcd Crisis
 He precipitated European cri- sis March 16 by decreeing compul- sorry army service and admitting the fact of German military air force whose existence had been known for months.
 Since then allied powers in the World War have started a ring Of allinaces against Germany and the League of Nations council in the name of the 57 countries has de- nounced Germany for treaty vio- lation.
 The principal observances of the Reichsfuehrer's birthday were military parade past his chancel- lery an dthe gift of the 27 fighting planes which his. Brown shirted storm troopers gave him.
 There were special church serv- ices and all army garrisons did him honor. In Munich, headquarters of the Nazi party, where Hitler launched his first bid for power the beer cellar Putsch of 1923 which brought him a five year im- prisonment term of which he serv- ed nine months fortress-there was an entertainment, with food. for 14.O0O others of over 60 years old. x

 Annual Report
 The annual report of Dr Thoma! J. Condon deals with the assembly programs as follows:
 "Heeding the plea for great CT specialization of our schools, we introduced this fall as an integral part of the elementary school what are termed 'as- sembly programs As objec- tives they furnish .opportuni- ties to develop boise, speaking ability, self-reliance, latent tal- ents, in group audience situa- tions. In a socialized and hap py atmosphere, dramatics, pu- sic, art, indeed all school sub jects find an outlet for express sion removed from what is sometimes called the hum drum of school routine. All grades from one to eight take part in turn, weekly programs being prepared in advance ac- cording to a schedule and un- der guidance of principals and teachers.
 "Alreay, reports from schools have been favorable beyond our expectations. Initi- ative, originality, inventive ness, have created new inter- est in regular school work. Talents newly discovered and displayed before their mates have brought to their possess sors a joy and pride that have wholly altered their outlook on school life. There have been brought to my attention sever- al cases of individuals who had been deaf to every appeal. When given an opportunity for self-expression, a new interest was aroused which has carried over into their regular work.
 Principals and teachers are cooperating most enthusiastic ally to make these assemblies successful"

ENSIGNS TO SERVE
ON SMALLER SHIPS
Navy Changes Policy as Result
Of Increasing Demand for
Junior Officers.

The Navy Department today an
nounced the adoption of new policy,
under which ensigns will be assigned
to the smaller vessels, temporarily
throwing overheard the older rule
that required them to serve only or
the larger warships for two years.
In making this announcement the
Bureau of Navigation, headed by
Rear Admiral William D. Leahy, said
the shift in personnel ashore and
sfoat that will take place shortly will
detach about ITO ensigns of the
classes graduating last June and
those OF the class of 1s33-who came
back into the service after Congress
passed legislation giving them va
cancies-from battleships, aircraft
carriers and cruisers. They will go
to destroyers and other smaller ships.
This means that these officers. with
only one years sea duty, get chance
to serve on the small vessels early in
their career. Increasing demands for
Junior officers have brought about the
change in policy. During the past
two years demands of flight training
and the finance and supply schools
have aided in the shortage. The New
Deals policy of building up the Navy
has been an important factor, as has
the discontinuance of the rotating
reserve status for destroyers.
