RET|REMENTS

The Supreme Court today closed
one of the most momentous terms
in it's history.
AS the court moved to dispose
of miscellaneous business, the
country was reverberating with
President RooSevelt's analysis of
it's decision of last Monday,
scrapping the MIRA.
With the close of today's ses-
sion. the court will leave the
Capitol in which it has been quar-
tered for 1874 years and move into
new $10,000,000 temple of JUS
tice provided by Congress.
Personnel Changes RumOred
The big question uppermost in
the minds of the New Dealers as
the court prepared to adjourn
until October was whether it's
complexion will be changed when
it reconvenes.
Despite frequent rumors of
pending designations, there was
no official indication that any
of the nine judges will step per-
manently from their black robes.
A fresh wave of legal attacks
upon New Deal legislation, with
the Bankhead cotton act and the
AAA processing tax among the
first, are slated next fall.
Five of the justices are beyond
the voluntary retirement stage.
Congress, however, has refused to
encourage their retirement by pas
sing the Summers bill which would
prevent reduction in retirement
pay, a privilege granted judges Of
all lower Federal courts.
The oldest justice on the court
is Louis Dembitz Brandeis, who
will reach his seventy-ninth year
next fall. Second, is Justice
Vandevanter, who is rs.
Three Others Past 10
Other justices over 10, the re-
tirement age, are Chief Justice
Hughes, and Justices McReynolds
and Sutherland, all in their
seventy-third year.
The possibility that President
Roosevelt might, during his term
of office, remake the court by new
appointments has been a subject
of frequent speculation.
Threatened with the cloud of
5-to-4 decisions on many important
cases, the high court removed
this, at least in part, when it voted
unanimously against the Admins
tration on three cases last Monday.
Although it may be an issue in
the 1886 presidential campaigns,
justices of the court showed no
outward indication of their re-
action to President Roosevelt's
singing words in discussing the
NRA decision.

Graduates Told
Americans Are
Too Timid

NEW YORK, June 8 G.N.SO.
People today are timid with
thoughts only for acquisition and
security, according to the Rt. Rev.
Warren L. Rogers, bishop of Ohio.
Delivering the sermon in the
Baccalaureate Service yesterday
which began the 181St commence
ment exercises of Columbia Uni
versity, Bishop Rogers declared
neither Of these traits would
make great race or aid in
character building. He said:
THE last decade has found
us ObseSsed by two passions;
one of acquisition, of gaining
and possessing this physical
world, and the other the passion
of security about which there
is much talk these days.
I'VE share in these Senti-
ments regarding physical, social,
industrial, economic security.
Neither of these passions makes
a great race. Character is not
built out of getting and hold.

HAUNTED HOUSE
 IS ATTRACTION

Provincetown, Mass, July 1S.- UP)-A valuable sandwich glass dish was broken mysteriously in Provincetown's Ghost House" at midnight while group of amateur psychic investigators were awaiting glimpse of one of the ispooks" that supposedly haunt the 150-year old dwelling. No ghost" appeared during the long vigil but the dish incident puzzled investigators. Mrs. Ralph Harlow, formerly of New Orleans, La, who claims that spirits have played pranks in her home for the past five years, had invited only half a dozen friends to last nights seance, but scores of other townsfolk waited and watched outside.
 Besides Mrs. Harlow, those seat ed in a circle in ground-f1oor room. holding hands, were Mrs. Russell Severell of Montclair, N. J., Arthur D. Fuller, New York illus trator. and his wife; Julius Katzieff, artist, and Selectman and Mrs. Frank Barnett of Provincetown. The seance began at 10:30 p. m. Until midnight, nothing happened. Then. as the nearby town hall clock chimed 12, the group was startled by the crashing of glass in an up- stairs room. Mrs. Harlow and her guests raced upstairs and found the dish, which for years had rested on a table, in fragments on the floor.

Indications that depositors of the closed Sanditz & Traurig' bank car l.

 Amount of Dividend
 A ten per cent. dividend on $106.3SS.22 would amount to $10,- 63S.S2, which is less than the amount of cash the receiver has on hand. The receiver usually keeps a couple of thousand in ex- cess of the actual amount needed for dividend purposes to meet any emergency that might arise. %
 The total receipts for the period ending July 1, amounted to $731.6S while the expenses amounted to only $25.73, the lowest figure for expenses sineo the receivership was instituted. The receiver, who also is the receiver for the Kazemekas Co. submitted report for that bank. but the dividend prospect is not so promising.

 Wife of Kidnaper
By WILFRED BROWN United Press Staff Correspondent)

Tacoma, Wash, July 13 (UP)- Margaret Waley. who at 19 sought escape from poverty by following an ex-convict husband into crime. probably will learn today whether she must follow him to prison for Kidnapping of 9yearAold George Weyerhaeuser.
 Federal Judge E. E. Cushman planed to deliver instructions this morning to a jury that heard the sallow but attractive defendant described as "a liar and gun moil" and as "a hapeless product of our society"
 Mrs. Waley watched the jury of 10 men and two women with tear streaked face while ruddy-faced John Francis Dore, one of the northwest's most successful law yers, pleaded for mercy rather than justice" and pledged himself to use his own money and time to give her a fresh start after the ac- quittal he confidently predicted.
 Charges Against Il
 The girl is accused of vioation of the "Lindbergh" kidnap law and of conspiracy to kidnap. The count on the Lindbergh law is based on the admitted fact that she accompan- fed her husband and his fugitive accomplice, William Mahan, on a ride across the state line into Idaho with their boy victim cramped in a

$50, 900 Persons WH Soon Start To Work
Construction of Farm to Market Roads and Elimna= ton of Grade Crossings Are About Ready to
 Hit Blow at Unemployment

Washington, July 13-CUP)- Employment of 350,000 persons on relief in construction of farm-to- market roads and elimination of grade crossings came a step nearer today by presidential apprvoal of rules and regulations under which s40O, 000,000 will be spent.
 Construction will be sufervised by the department of agriculture. Labor was graded into three class es, unskilled, intermediate and skilled. The program calls for a per man-year expenditure of $1,40O. At the peak of construc- tion 720,0O0 persons will be em- ployed, officials estimated.
 Regulations
 The regulations follow:
 l. All state programs must originate with state highway de- partments. The district engineer of the bureau of public roads must give approval to the state admin istrator of the works progress ad- ministration and state director of the national emergency council.
 Z. COnCuTfeIlce py Stdtc OlllCidio is to be submitted to the bureau of public roads in Washington for final approval.
 8. Exceptions: If the secretary of agriculture finds any state does not have a satisfactory highway department he is authorized to CO., operate with legally constituted of ficials of cities, counties or other political subdivisions of the state.
 An unspent sum of approximate ly $723,600,000 is involved in road programs for this year. The rules and regulations signed by the pres ident cover O,O00.O00 for farm o-market" roads and $200,00O, 0O0 for elimination of grade crossings. The 0,000,000 is part of the $4,O00, 100000 work-relief appro- priation.
 Alletments included:

COP. ALDERMEN MAY BE DROPPED
 BY INSURGENTS
Several We'll Known Lead= CTS on Board Unsatis-
 factory to Bosses

Drastic changes in the makeup of the republican side of the board of aldermen will be demanded when the g. o. D. municipal ticket is made up this fall. AS result of continued demands calling for the busting of some of the present republican aldermen, the g. o. D city convention the month after next promises to be one of the bitterest the party has experienced in years.
 Among those whose heads will be demanded by the insurgent group are Aldermen c arl e s Schmidt, George Kingston and Jo- seph Wilhelm. Specific demands will be made that former Alder man Pasquale Perriello be given an aldermanic nomination this fall. It is also possible that a group will demand the busting of Alder men c. Arthur Dubois and Simeon Nichols.
 All Strong in COP.
 All of the men who the insurc gent republicans are after are very strong g.o.p. chieftains and, there fore, it is expected that the city convention will be most hectic one. Alderman Schmidt is the re- publican leader of the aldermanic board and has been for many years. Two years ago a movement vas on to oust him from the lead ership and Alderman DuBois was mentioned for his post. Nothing was done. however.
 Since then the insurgents have been spreading the word that some changes are necessary because sev- eral of the g.o.p. aldermen are too close to the democratic aGministca- tion. The noticeable absence of any controversies at aldermanic meetings is being pointed to by the reorganization group. also.
 Will Be Battle Royal
 That the '.old guard" and new guard" republicans will test their streng h to the finish in the coming city, ton and school conventions of the party is a fore-cne conclu-

CITY SMASHED
 LOAN RECORDS
Lowest Interest That Has Ever Been Received By
 Controller Leary

All time records for interest charged against the city on tenn porary loans were shattered late this morning at meeting of the board of finance. A vote was passed authorizing Controller Dan- iel J. Leary to borrow $1,250,000 and the interest rate will be .41 per cent. less than one-half of one per cent. Never before has the city borrowed money at such a low figure, although Controller Leary each time that he has made a loan he has succeeded in procur- ing gradually reduced interest rates,
 One of Lowest
 The charge of Al per cent on the loan authorized today is be- lieved to be one of the lowest, if not the lowest, ever granted a municipality in the state of Con- necticut. Only few years back the city had to pay as high as 6 per cent on it's temporary loans.
 Action of the New York banks in granting the city the new loan at such a low rate of interest is believed to reflect the strong and growing trust the money houses have in the financial condition of Waterbury.
 No Loans for Month
 This city has been without any outstanding temporary loan for a month. Last month the city paid off a loan of $1,750,000 and has operated with current income from taxes since then. This has saved the city much money in interest charges. Now, the new loan au- thorized today is smaller by a halt million dollars than the last loan which was retired a month ago, further showing the city's financial condition to be excellent.
 The new loan will expire in De- cember. according to the vote passed by the finance commission CTS today. Income from the Octo. Der tax collections will be used to retire the debt.
