develop regular habits and get reg
ular rest. The government pays
most of the expense, the town fur
nishing the room and pays for heat
and light.
Mr.. Chittenden expects 1t will be
continued under the Works Pro-
, gress administration. 1t would be
advisable to have such a room on
the eastern side of the town, near
the southern section. There is one
more teacher on relief who quail
fes for such work. If another room
were set up, still another teacher,
cook and nurse would be necessary.
The bank system, approved by
the board, has received the sane
ton of the bank officials, Superin-
tendent ChitAnden told the board.
The system should be ready to start
in September. Each room will have
a weekly bank day on which the
youngsters get the thrift habit.
There is no desire to place an extra
burden on teachers who have
shown enthusiasm for the plan,
thus far, said the superintendent.
Minor repairs have been made
in connection with schools, the
superintendent reported. There are
only three or four FERA men now
available, there being one plumber,
one mason and one carpenter and
no painters.

While "Gimbo" Sullivan goes up
to Fall River, Mass, to swim
over one of the toughest S mile
courses in the country, nine of his
pupils will travel to Bridgeport to
partake in q much shorter swim
over a 1-2 mile course at Seaside
park.
The nine are James Farrar, Rob-
ert Curran. Armand Fratesi, Ed
mund Poscavage, Edmund Daikas,
Edward Urashka, John Zonas, Dam
iel RADIO and John Daikas. OF
these Jim FaFrar and Bob Curran
have the best chances of upsetting

Erick, the undefeated distance
swimmer from New Haven.
"Gimbo" and his pupils have
been working sout daily at the
Nutmeg club, a new camp at Lake
Quassapaug. "Gimbo" is in fine
shape and has a good chance to cop
his first junior national long dis
lance title. The fact that it is a
junior national swim doesn't mean
that there Is certain age limit
but 1t does mean that all swim
mers entered have not won a ma
tional title In that specified dis
lance and are eligible to swim in
a junior national event.

SECURITY BILL
SPEEDS TOWARD

JobIess Insurance Section
Approved as Enemies
Give Up Fight.

WASHINGTON, April 19.-The
House drove toward final passage of
the Roosevelt economic security bill
this afternoon, approving without a
direct vote the vital unemployment
insurance section, calling for state
systems. financed by pay roll taxes.
A fight to amend the section,
which requires states to establish
adequate minimum benefits, was
abandoned after a ruling holding
out of order the Lord amendment
for a minimum of 81 week to all
jobless.
The House then turned to the ma
ternal and child health provisions OF
the bill.
Liberals apparently felt in the
face of Administration steam roll
Ter" tactics that their fight was lost.
They were beaten down on rs
amendments yesterday, the Lundeen
unemployment insurance plan and
the Townsend old-age plan going
down to one-Sided defeats.
A last stand was planned on the
social insurance tax features of the
bill
The unemployment insurance sec
ton was the third approved, six
sections of the bill remaining. Many
of the titles were expected to be ap-
proved rapidly.

bill. The House committee an
nounced it would ask the Rules

on the measure next week.
Mr.. Crowley was the first witness
to be heard on the 1885 banking bill
against which Senator Glass is Wig
orously opposed.
Consideration of the measure
started quietly with testimony by
Mr.. Crowley on Title I of the bill
which makes permanent the Fed
eral bank deposit insurance plan.
Mr.. Glass is not opposed to this
action, but he does object to Title
II, which virtually sets up central
banking system. He is determined,
if possible, to split up the bill. If
successful in this maneuver he
would be able to center his fire on
the Objectionable central bank pro-
posal.
Mr.. Crowley's testimony began
with a question by Mr. Glass as
to whether he was responsible for
assembling all the banking legisla-
