FORECLOSURES

A foreclosure judgment in the amount of $48,052.80 was granted the Colonial Trust Company against the Central Industrial Bank at a hearing before Judge Miles F. Mo- Mfr in common pleas court today. The property involved is the Alber- marie apartment block on Cooke street.
 Attorney Terence c. Carmody, who persented the case to the court, submitted records to show the taxes were unpaid on the 1884 list and that interest was unpaid from Oc- tober of 1884. The note was nego- tiated between the plaintiff and the late Calvin L. Martin in 1924 and later acquired by conveyance by the Central Industrial Bank.

OLD DOZEN IS
 BACK ON RELIEF

West Haven, Conn.,, Dec. IT - (UP)-"Old Dobbin," the faithful horse servant of Frederick S. Hotch- kiss, 95, was back on the relief rolls today with the prospects of steady job.
 The animal had been cared for by the welfare department for two weeks while Hotchkiss was in a hospital. Last Friday he was turn ed back to his owner and was switched to the relief rolls again when Hotchkiss was committed to a state institution yesterday.
 The timely death of "Old Jim, " town-owned horse who died this week after 27-years of service, of fered an opportunity for Dobbin to take over the job and become self supporting.

 New York, Dec. 17-(UP)-Stocks made an irregular, technical recov- cry today in quiet trading. Bonds were featured by good gains in spe- cial issues, grains were little changed, cotton rose a few points, and the dollar declined in terms of foreign currencies.
 There were 8 few exceptions to the uptrend in the share market, chiefly Monsanto Chemical which lost nearly 1 points and American Telephone of 3 points. Most leading issues advanced. Motor shares were in demand, especially Chrysler and General Motors. Chrysler had a gain of more than a point.
 Silver shares were higher early, but when Silver Metal continued to decline they eased. Prof1t-taking came into American Smelting fol- lowing declaration of a Accent dividend on the common, the first payment since February 1, 1892.

COULDN'T TAKE TRIP

Eondon, Dec. 17.-UP) - The anti-British campaign in the 1tal- ian press made it inadvisable for the British fleet to visit 1tal- ian ports during its Mediterranean maneuvers, Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin told the house of commons today.
 He informed J. c. Wedgwood, 1aborite, who asked why the fleet was congregated at Alexandria:
 Tt was originally planned that the fleet should leave Malta on Aug. 28 to visit ports in the eastern Med- iterranean, including number of Italian ports, but in view of the hostile press campaign against this country, it became clear tha tviSits to Italian ports would be inoppor- tune.
 Therefore, the cruise was con- fined to the Mediterranean. It has been necessary for large propor- ton of the fleet to remain at Alex andria because it is the only port capable of accommodating large number of ships under winter con- ditions.
 "The naval squadrons, however, made periodical short cruises to neighboring waters"
 His statement was greeted with derisive laughter, and Godfrey Mander asked:
 "Is it the policy of the govern ment to use the British fleet if necessary, or to run away?"
 Baldwin did not reply. Wedg- wood wanted to know whether the fleet would not be safer" in the Suez Canal, but an uproar ensued and the question was not answered.
 Wouldn't Work
 New York, Dec. 17-(UP)-Sea- men on the Norwegian freighter Spero, docked at Jersey City, were on strike today in protest against carrying load of scrap iron to Italy.
 The strikers are being cared for by the Italian Anti-FaSciSt commit tee pending assistance from the Norwegian Federation of Seamen in Oslo.
 Agents for the owners of the ship said new crew would be signed by Thursday.
 A spokesman for the seamen said they struck because their union in Norway advised members to stay of ships carrying war materials and because of the Norwegian sane tionS against Italy.

 Peace Plans Shaky
 Tn Europe, the death of the Fran CO., British peace proposals became increasingly evident. London, Paris, Geneva and Rome moved cautious ly towards the showdown which must come at Geneva about the end of this week.
 All avoided committing them selves definitely, each hoping for tho other to make some move which would clear the air. Premier Laval of France made frank speech to ths chamber of deputies in which he said the peace plan, even if It were considered undesirable, was designed asa necessary move to save France from being dragged into WET in Europe.
 As might have been expected, he algo echoed the British declaration by saying France would stand sol- idly back of the league. Prime Min ister Baldwin of Great Britain will tell the house of commons the same thing in Thursdays debate. Both countries then, if war does come will be able to say that it is not of their making, but an affair of the League, which they are bound to uphold.

 Wideman argued that there was every reason to believe that the pro- cessers could just as easily recover their taxes in law suit as by bringing injunction suits.
 we contend that the burden of proof is a just and reasonable re- quirement and one that would req sonably be exacted in 8 court of equity" Wideman added.
 ''The law merely reaffirms the doctrine of unjust enrichment and requires the person to show that he is entitled to relief, that he has been the person to suffer"

 Counsel Is Questioned
 John P. Bulisngson counsel for eight Louisiana rice millers chal- lenging legality of processing tax collections, was subjected to further supreme court questioning today when he returned to continue his case before the tribunal.
 As Burlington concluded, Assistant Attorney General Frank J. Wideman came to the defense of tax collec- ton provisions, charactheriZing the questions involved as of "unprece- dented proportions"
 Burlington was questioned by As sociate Justice Pierce Butler, one of the so-called conservatives, who did not join in the inquiry yesterday. Liberal justices led the cross-exam- ination during first phases of the argument.
 Burlington explained that con- gress could, If 1t wanted to, pre- vent taxpayers from bringing any suits for tax repayment on the gov ernment. ...-..'
 Obviously" Not Liked
 In that case, he asserted, his cli- ents would not be able to recover from the collector of internal rev. enue who, he said, obviously is not millionaire or he wouldn't be a collector of internal revenue"
 T don't think it obviously follows at all," Butler said.
 Well, maybe not. your honor" the lawyer answered. ...-..... Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes asked Burlington whether the law, as it now stands, does not provide for repayment of judgments for tax recovery out of funds in the treasury. ,.....-.
 "Yes, sir," Burlington answered.
 The rice argument was resumed sohrtly after the city of Florence, Ala, filed a brief in answer to charges persented in the suit to test the powers of the IVA which will be the second New Deal case to be heard by the tribunal this week.
 Can this court impute to Con- gress any intent to refuse to pay such judgment?" Hughes asked.
 "In the state court cases, this court has held otherwise" the law yer said.
 That's essentially different" Hugh es remarked. Aren't we obliged to assume that congress will repay im- proper tax colelctions?"
 T presume so," Burlington ans wered.
 Suffered More by Suing
 Wideman contended for the gov- ernment that the rice millers-and other suffered more by suing for an injunction than if they simply padi the tax and then sued to regain 1t.
 If they pay the collectors of in- ternal revenue they will draw six per cent interest if they recover
