PRESIDENT ASKS

Washington, June 27.-UP)- President Roosevelt to-day asked congress to outlaw all further suits against the government based on abrogation of the gold clause in federal securities.
 In a special message, the presi- dent asked that this be done through legislation withdrawing the consent of the United States to be sued lon it's securities, coins or currencies" in order to frustrate a few "private litigants" from ex- plotting the public.
 Mir. Roosevelt also proposed that congress authorize the treasury to redeem outstanding gold-clause bonds, dollar for dollar, If the hold CTS desire without waiting for their regular maturity date.
 He asked that the holdelrs be given the choice of outright cash payment or new non-gold bonds in exchange for the gold-clause securi- ties.
 Mir. Roosevelt said outlawing of further suits was necessary tc pre-. vent "a handful of private liti- gants' from expioifing "the general public in the hope of a who'll, speculative private profit"

HUEY LONG HAS DIFFICULTIES
Finds Hard Sledding to Get Place to Talk in
 Stamford

Stamford. Conn. June 27--(Up) Senator Huey Long. who will open his "share-the-wealth," and possimly his 193s presidential campaign here July 13. may find his speaking quarters a bit crampr cd. Lester P. Barlow. Longs "fix- er-upper" here wanted to obtain use of Cummings Park, the city's largest playground, for the King. fish to install his motorized sound- truck apparatus. Mayor Alfred N. Phillips. IT,. objected because 1t would interfere with recreational activities. Barlow's second choice was Woodside Park. a bit smaller but nevertheless large eniugh to ,accomodate several thousand list eners. Mayor Phillips explained the park has just been seeded, so that was out. The mayor. however, of- fered the use of Rippowam Park. much smaller track on Rippo- wam river, but Barlow objected, fearing river casualties.
 Finally Barlow and the mayor agreed on the use of the City hall Esplanade. which is even smaller than any of the parks. Then Bar lows real troubles began. He found 1t necessary to obtain two permits. one to allow the blocking off of the city's principal thoroughfare and another to install Longs ann plifying outfit. The permits have not ben forthcoming, as yet.

 GIVEN SURPRISE
 BY COURT JUDGE
Democrats Were Ousted From Positions They Had
 Been Holding

Naugatuck, June 27-old- line democrats are "out in the cold" to- day us appointments of borough court officials were announced by Joseph E.

 Another Surprise
 The other surprise comes in the appointment of Mrs. Edna Tenni- man, wife of Clarence b. Fenniman, as probation officer, succeeding William J. Nixon, democrat, who has held the office for several years.
 As had been expected John Nj. Sutherland, republican was ap- pointed. clerk of the court. Many residents were surprised to hear of the appointment of Attorney Sweeney. In view of the fact that a republican judge was appointed, 1t was thought the same set.up as last year would prevail, that is that

COUCHLIN SUIT
 STARTED TO-DAY

Chicago. Juno 27. - (UP).- Thirty extra policemen were call- ed in superior court today to con- trol crowd of 1000 that damned the corridors and courtroom as arguments were started on the suit by Father Charles E, Cough lin to force the Chicago park board to grant him use of Soldier field for meeting of his National Union of Social Justice. Joseph Fleming, attorney for the park board and its president, Robert J. Durham. declared the board had discretion ary power to refuse use of its property.
 This is particularly true in the case of Coughlin, Fleming said, be- cause he is a resident of Michi- gan and is not a taxpayer in Illinois, and Is therefore not en- titled to the same consideration as resident of this state. He cited numerous legal precedents and opinions. Samuel Ettelson, attor- ney for Coughlin, will argue for a writ of mandamus ordering the park board to grant use of the field to the radio priest.

'RABBIS ARE TOLD
 OF JEWISH LIFE

Chicago. June 27.-UP) Jew ish life during the last year re- fiected conditions that have few parallels even in the Dark Ages. Dr. Jacob k. Marcus of Cincinnati told the ce.. .,ral conference of Am erican Rabbis today.
 Leading rabbis from the United States and Canada are assembled here in annual conference.
 Though suffering of Jews has been acute in countries like Po- land. Germany, Roumania and Aus tria, it would betray a complete lack of perspective were we to fail to point out that the areas of dis tress have not increased during the last year." Dr. Marcus said.
 Austrian leaders. for instance, he said, have not dared adopt the complete anti-Semitic policy of na- tional socialistic Germany. All fascist growths from Italy east tc Japan maintain themselves through terror. Once the distress which grew up with the postwar disloca' tion has been ameliorated. the die tatorships will begin to totter. And then all citizens, including Jews will again enjoy representative democracy"

SPEAKER BYRNS
 ASKS FULL SPEED

Washington, June 27-(UP)- Clearing the way for President Roosevelt's tax. .of-wealth program Speaker Joseph W. Byrns today directed his house dieutenants te dispose of all other pending legis- iation as soon as possible. Decision to let the tax program originate In the house ways and means com mittee and run through the gamut of normal congressional procedure left the measure open to threats of attack and prospect lengthy postponement of congressional ad- journment. Byrns ordered his lieu tenants to press legislation at full speed so that the must" program except for taxes, would be complet- ed by July 15.
 He expressed hope that the ways and means committee would order day and night hearings on the presidential tax plan so that every time advantage could be gain. With day and night hearings he said he believed the program might be pushed through Tin a month or so." Chief threat to this was ex- pected to be efforts by bonus sup porters to attach their measure to the tax ball and dissention among various congressional factions re- garding how sweeping the propos- ed levies should be.

 Compete M Play-Of
Grant, Ross, Clare, Ahern Are to Wind Up For the Championship of New England in the
 Hartford Tournament

Hartford, Conn.,, June 27-UP) The four same scmi-flnalists who competed in the 1882 New Eng land Amateur championship at Rhode Island Country Club, were brought together again today at the end of quarter round matches of the 3Sth Connecticut title tourn- ament.

 At no time were the four out standing favorites threatened or led during the morning matches
 Grant, former champion, was out in 3s against Wilson's 42 and they were even at the turn. Grant closed in for the kill when Wilson passed through an epidemic or hooking coming in.
 Ross, who played the best of the four matches, went out in 20 against McNeirs 41 and was up at the turn. He took two unusual ] bIrdies, one on the long third when he blasted out of trap dead to the pin. and the other on the 235-yard fifth when his brassie shot carried him to within six rect of the cup. He sank the shot.
 Clare played steadily, playing the first nine In par 37 to lead Elm four up. He garnered a birdie on the 14th by sinking 16-foot putt and lost but one hole, the l1th.
 Mandy, who equalled the course record of 6S in practice play last Sunday, was decidedly off form Ahern led him four up'at the turn with 37 against Mandly's 4o. despite two birdies, on the third and seventh.
 The semi. l.nnals parings were the strongest in many years in the state tournament, which saw the elimination of the defending cham pion, Tony KosinskI, Bridgeport caddy, yesterday. Of the four.

Meanwhile the strikers ranks were joined by cutters and spiitters from the fac- tory. who walked out today.
 Having rejected by unanimous vote tho company's first offer. the strikers today held another mass meeting at Building Trades hall on scovill street and kept long picket lines filing past the factory.
