HINCKS REVERSES LOCAL DECISION
Grants Discharge to Wa terburian in Bankruptcy
 Proceedings

Leo McKenna, local policeman is granted a discharge from all ob- ligations which prompted his entry into bankruptcy, in a decision of Judge Carroll c. Hincks in the United States District Court of New Haven today. The decision is a reversal of the finding of Bank ruptcy Referee Walter F. Torrance who refused to grant a discharge on the grounds the policeman had entered a fraudelent agreement with the National Adjustment Co.
 Judge Hincks states that though the bankrupt, McKenna, had en-. tered the agreement with the Ma. tional Adjustment Co. it was not fradulent, but at most, "avoidable preference" Under this agreement, the crux of the whole matter the officer assigned his wages of about $1,200 to the adjustment company. Each week the company paid cer- tain creditors out of the assign ment, but saw to 1t that the officer received between SIS and $16 weekly. Under the law, $15 weekly Is exempt from attachment, Judge Hincks points out. Attorney Mor- ris L. Aobin represented the off, cer. Attorney Alfred L. Finkle- stein appeared for the only credi- tor who objected to the granting of the discharge,

 Finance R. R. Plans
 MT Roosevelt announced the government would finance the en- tire program, leaving to political subdivisions only the problem of purchasing land. Projects will be abandoned, he said. if lengthy condemnation proceedings are nec- essary.
 With 210,000 grade crossings in the country that would take $15,- O0,000.00O to eradicate. the Pres ident said he plans to operate only on main highways and right-of- ways.
 The safety campaign will be di- rected by Undersecretary of Agri- culture Rexford Guy Tugwell. The money will come from the $800,- 000,00 appropriated for highway construction.
 The plans were made public less than 24 hours after a speeding passenger train had knifed through a school bus at nearby Rockville, Md, killing 14 children. The American Automobile Associa tiop reported 1.190 persons were killed in grade-crossing accidents last year.

KNIGHTS CONVENE
 WEDNESDAY, NIGHT
Sheridan Council Assured of State Lead in CathO.
 lie Action Mobilization

Although final reports have not been submitted the individual councils Sheridan Council, No. 24. Knights of Columbus. was assured this week from area headquarters in Hartford that it had led the en. tire state in the Mobilization for Catholic Action. Last official re- ports on the nmber of applications turned in by members of the local council placed them at 16S. This number has been exceeded in the past few days.
 Connecticut ranks second among the states of the nation in it's per- centage of memberships attained. Minnesota led the nation by over subscribing it's quota. Connecticut was rated at 97 per cent. This fine showing is in the main due to the excellent campaigning in Water bury and South Norwalk, which were the banner cities of the mobil- ization.
 At next Wednesdays meeting of Sheridan Council plans will be an- nounced for the holding of the first and second degrees which will precede the monster third degree to be exemplified in this city Sum- day afternoon, May 5, under the direction of State Deputy William J. Mulligan of Hartford. A class of over 300 candidates is expected to be initiated upon this occasion.

"If l ran my business the way this country's run at the present time 1 wouldn't last two wecks," said the man be- hind the bar. He dipped the foam off a glass of ale and slid 1t expcrtIy across to the customer.
 "Thc trouble with this cOun- try" he said, els that they got nobody in any of them gov ernmcnt bureaus who really knows the value of money.
 "Ali them college professors now. What do they know about business? What they want i'm there is some good, shrewd, hard.headed business men.
 "Why l could pick out men right here in Waterbury who are better qualified to super visc the expenditure of relief money than some of the guys that are doing 1t.
 "Any man in business to- day, I don't care who he is or what his line is, he's, better able to run the government that a lot of these sO.called brain-trustcrs. :"
 The mOnOlOg was interrupt- cd by the opening of a trap door in the corner. It opened only enough to permit audibil- ity for a voice from the sty. glen gloom Of the cellar. "Hey, Boss" said the voice, chow about n little jack for this beer I put in?"
 Excuse me-" said the tav- ernkeeper, addressing his cus- toner. He rang up the cash register and made hurried audit.
 "Idsten, Pete" he said, turning in the direction of the open door, ''hOW about coming in tomorrow for that? I could give it to you now, but it'll leave me a little short"
 "NO salc," said Pete, "tllat's what you told me yesterday. I'm taking the beer out" The door slammed dcclsively.
 The tavcrnkeeper began in- dustriously wiping the lower end of the bar with a towel. The customer drank his beer and went out.
