TEXTILE TAX MAY
 BE MADE HEAVIER
By PAUL MAY Democrat Correspondent

Washington, D. C., April 12-- Senator Lonergan announced to- day that the AAA has given him definite assurances that they will refrain from increasing the pro- cessing tax on textiles at least un- til August 1.
 The Senator said that all New England Textile industries had reported that they are facing ii- quidation unless something is done to relieve their loss of trade, which the industries attribute to the alarming volume of Japanese cot ton goods being imported.
 Rumors regarding an increase in the processing tax started as g result of efforts to eliminate tho tax entirely, Senator Lonergar said. AAA officials had announced that the rates would not be re. duced, and, if anything, would bt increased. Lonergan said that this statement gave rise in Con. necticut and New England gener. ally to the belief that an increase was certain.

 Two meals will be served to the local companies at the armory. Under no conditions will the men be allowed to leave except in the event. of sudden Hines or with the special permission of their company commanders. The famous old tag line "You're In the Army Now,' will be the order of the day. The unrestricted program to which the local guardsmen have become accustomed in the years spent at the regular Mantle en- campment, according to present in dications, will be just a pleasant memory as army and national guard officials prepare to make the New York maneuvers from the very beginning a miniature war in grim earnest
 Camping equipment of the Waterbury companies must be at the local station ready for ship ment Saturday morning and will be sent to the camp some time prior to the following Wednesday, ac- cording to today's instructions. The men are to take their personal

Although Frank J.

The American Black has re- ceived about half a dozen requests to conduct symphony orchestras at various musicale festivals on the Continent, but his radio duties will not permit time for the sea vog- age.
