AMERICANS ARE
 SPENDING MORE

New York, Dec. 18-(UP)-A tele- graphic survey of retail store sales across the country and reports of income tax payments indicated to- day that Americans are spending 10 per cent more this Christmas than ia 1884 and 20 per cent more than in 1883. The National Retail Dry Goods association boiled depart ment stores and speciality shops in representative cities from New York to San Francisco to learn that the average retailer did 95 per cent more business in the first 12 days of December than in the same pe- riod last year.
 If the pace is maintained, accord ing to Charming E. Sweitzer, man. aging director, national retail busi- ness for the month will approxi- mate $4,500,Oo0,000. No Christmas season since 1883 has approached that figure.
 Reports of income tax payments for the years final quarter sub- stantiated the estimates of the re- tailers. Three internal revenue districts of the New York Metro uolitan area estimated they will collect $52,O0o.0o0 more this period than in the final quarter last year.

MILLIONS ASKED
 IN INCOME TAXES

New York, Dec. 18-(UP)-Liens increased to s53,406,031 instituted sOveFnanent action today to collect disputed income taxes for 16 year period from the huge Associated Gas and Electric company, whose officers led opposition to the utility reform Dill passed in the last session of congress.
 The bureau of internal revenue slapped new liens totaling $4,907. .245 upon property of the holding com pary and an affiliate concern yester- day, after obtaining an attachment for $48,551, ,845 Monday.
 Officers of the $700, ,000,0 ,000 holding company, already harassed by fed- eral grand jury investigation of it's stock sales and threats in Washing ton that its executive head, Howard tempt of the house of representa- c. Hopson, may be cited for con- lives, refused to discuss the income tax action.
 Officials of the bureau of internal revenue said income taxes due from Che A. G. E. were for 1927 to 1883, inclusive. The subsidiary involved, Associated Securities corporation, owes taxes dating back to 1917, they claimed.

TOWNSEND MAN
 WINS ELECTION

Battle Creek, Mich., Dec. 18-(U P)-Verner c. Main, a republican advocate of the Townsend old age pension plan, was overwhelmingly elected to congress in yesterdays special election in the thrid Michi- gan district, returns showed today.
 Advocates of $200 monthly pension to the aged, claimed that his victory represented an endorse ment by the electorate of their doc urine. But, although the issue was clearly drawn on the Townsend plan, the district has been republi- can for 65 years and main enjoyed the support even of party leaders who disapprove to Townsendism.
 Main won a better than two to one margin over his democratic op- ponent, Howard w. Cavanagh, op- ponent of the Townsend plan. The complete vote of the district, com- prisipg five southwestern Michigan countries, was 24,837 for Main and 1l,631 for Cavanagh.
 Political observers, attempting to estimate the apparent strength gained by the republican candidate through Townsend support, con- pared yesterdays election figures to those of 1884. It was pointed out that the 1884 election was not only for congressmen but also for Cover nor and total of 75,000 ballots were cast.

NELSON B. CLARK
 GOES TO PRISON

New York, Dec. 1S-(UP)-Nel- son B. Clark, former Bull Moose candidate for governor of MasSa- chusetts, was sentenced to 10 to 20 years in prison today as the result of his association with a band of four youths now awaiting execution in Sing Sing for the murder of a policeman in a holdup. The bald, bespectacled one-time wealthy chemical manufacturer was tried and convicted by general sessions jury on the charge og first degree robbery. The most damaging evil dence against him was given by the four youths brought down from prison as state witnesses.
 Clark, in whose apartment Ray Orley, 9. Amerigo Angelini, 9, Thomas Chloride, g, and Raymond Newman, Jr., g. lived, was depic- ted as the mastermind of the young desperadoes, advising them on hold ups and doling out pistols from a strongbox.
 So graphically drawn was the pie ture of the soft-spoken Clark as a real life "Fagin" that the jury wanted to convict him also on a charge of receiving stolen property because of a wrist watch given by Orley. The court held, however that only the robbery charge could be tried.

There is little question that Long, while living, did have the support of the common people largely because of his promises of radical reform and because of the vast patronage which he con- trolled.
 Now, however, with reform is- sues almost forgotten and the can didates vaguely talking about keeping the light of Huey Long burning" and assailing their op- ponents, many voters are dissatis- fled.
 In Cameron parish, for instance, such signs of unrest are apparent. This parish, consisting mainly ot swamp lands, is peopled by fish ermen and trappers who formerly supported Long almost 100 per cent.
 Lose Hope for Reform
 At recent political meetings there, administration candidates note 8 distinct cooling off" The chief reason advanced for the CnauRG IS OIldO OAlCoC PSSPAS' "AAS formerly believed that Long would accomplish genuine reforms, now see little hope that the machine will do anything for them.
 Patronage that the machine controls is still a strong factor fa- voring the Long group. There is little question that if the Long machine used all of the power le- gally at its disposal, it easily could be returned to office for an other five years.
 For instance, Gov. o. K. Allen has the power under one of the Long "dictatorial" laws to appoint boards of election supervisors in every parish. The supervisors ap- point 10 commissioners and us many watchers as they wish to supervise the election. Also, they can appoint as many Election Day policemen as they wish.
 However, it is doubtful if the machine will resort to the use of these laws to retain its power. For one thing, the fact that congress-
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-12-18

men will be elected probably will act as a deterrent, as the Federal government has indicated it will investigate any irregularities and prosecute anyone found guilty of fraudulent practices.
 Bar Group Opens Fight
 Another indication that the machine is cracking up" is seen in the action taken several weeks ago by the Louisiana Bar Associa- ton.
 Under one of the Long laws, the bar association was superseded by the State Bar of Louisiana to which all lawyers who wished to practice before the state courts had to belong.
 The board of governors of the state bar, who have the power to decide who should be members of the organization, were appointed by the governor. It was provided, however, that at the next election which will be held Jan. q - the board should be selected by the electorate.
 This law gave the administra- tion undisputed power over the state courts and the state bar. Any lawyer who opposed the admins tration could be denied the right to practice before state courts.
 At a meeting of the Louisiana Bar Association recently, a resolu- tion asking that the two organiza- tions be merged and that the law yers themselves, instead of the electorate, be empowered to select th- board of governors, was adopted. #*.
 Law May Be Rewritten :
 If Long were alive the organiza- tion would not have dared to adopt such resolution. As 1t was, however, the resolution caused lit- tie stir, and it is freely predicted that the administration will agree to the mobilization when the leg iSlature meets.
 Others, too, predict that the ad- ministration will agree to the re. peal of other "dictatorial' laws which virtually have taken from communities their right of local self-government, even to the ap- pointing of school teachers.
 At present the question seems to be: Will the apparent resentment against the machine grow in in- tensity fast enough to cause its defeat on Jan. 21, or will the anti Long group have to wait four more years before they can hope to gain office?
