TROUBLE FOR
POSTAL WORKERS

In the hurry and scurry Of
getting off cards and packages,
much of this matter comes into
the post offices with poorly
written or incomplete address,
es. Not merely do the An1gri-
can people load the postal en-
ployes with a perfect noun
tain of holiday work, but they
have to wear their eyes out
studying illegible writing and
imperfect addresses.
If people must load this
mighty task on the postal
workers. they should at least
sec that every address is clear
~ written and contains every
thing necessary to locate the
recipient. Otherwise the dead
letter Office is likely to be the
destination of much of this
stun. Uncle Sam does not
ned any more rminders of this
kind.

PLANS TO STOP
 UNEMPLOYMENT
State Officials Begin to Act in Taking Care
 of JObless

Hartford, Conn, Dec. 12-(UP)- The groundwork had been laid to- day to take up the slack in unem- ployment relief in Connecticut and derive full benefits from the social security act. As result of con- ference of social workers with state emergency relief director Miss Flea nor H. Little, statewide analysis will be made of the relief burden, which will be divided into six clas- sificationS:
 Tabulation of the number of em- ployable persons in competitive em- ployment; those employable in pro- tective employment; persons whose earnings necessitate supplementary relief; temporary employables (the physically disabled and minors), old age cases and the number of fam lilies having no employable persons, or composed of alien widows with young children.
 The survey will be started Jan. through the social service division of the FRO. One object of the ana lysis, according to Miss Little's out line before the social workers late yesterday, is to care for those per- sons who will be ineligible to obtain WPA work as result of not being on relief between May l and Nov. l, this year. She said Fairfield and Litchfield countys would be "espe- cially hard hit" as would be to- bacco workers in Hartford county.

TREASURY ISSUE
 OVERSUBSCRIBED
Subscriptions AZ Times Million Offer First Day
 in December

Washington D. C., Dec. 12-At the end of the first day of the federal governments December financing, Secretary of the Treasury Morgen- thau announced that subscriptions were four and a half times the 900 million dollar offers of $450, 900, 900 in 2A per cent 10-year bonds and $450, 100000 in 11s per cent 5-year notes.
 Offers received totaled 4,474 mil- lions during the day and they were still rolling in which the books were closed for cash subscriptions. For exchange purposes only" the books were kept open three days to permit holders of $418, ,291 300 of 2a per cent notes maturing Dec. 15 to ex- change them for the new securities. It avs estimated that the lower in- terest rates would result in saving of several million dollars a year.
 The new financing comes as the work relief program gets completely under way. It gives the treasury cash on hand in excess of $1,600,- 100000 and increased the public debt to $3O,541, ,606, ,134, many bil- lions short of the 55 to 70 billions which leading bankers told Presi- dent Roosevelt in 1883 could be reached without impairing the na- tion's credit"
 Financial commentators empha- sized the continued rise in all gov- ernment securities on the stock ex- changes and recalled the scathing denunciation of government spend- ing led by Banker Orval Adams Of Salt Lake City, at the recent con- vention of the American Bankers Association in New Orleans. MT. Adams, an Old Guard Republican who is mentioned for the nomina- tion for governor of Utah, advo- cated bankers boycott" against the government. According to the press reports. his plea was listened to in silence"

SOCIALISTS IN AN OPEN BREAK
Two Leaders, Norman Thomas, James Maur-
 CT Are in Wide Split

New York, Dec. 12.-(UP)-The socialist party was faced today with an open break between its two most prominent members, Norm a Il Thomas, leader of the left wing, and James H. Maurer, Thomas running mate in the last two presidential elections.
 Thomas, after returning from 8 speaking tour of the middle west announced that the fight against the "old guard" would be pursued to the finish and predicted that there would be complete reorgan- ization of the socialist party in New York state, with control shifting to the left wing group.
 Maurer's stand was announced in letters to Algernon Lee, president of the Rand School of Social Science and New York city chairman, and James O'Neal, New York member of the party's national executive committee.
 Maurer denounced the left wing, which has seeded from the city central committee, as "betrayers of the cause" accused Thomas of us- ing Tammany tactics against the late Morris Hillquit at the Milwau- kee convention of the party in 1882, and held him responsible for the party's split.
 The break between Thomas and Maurer, who was for 16 years presi- dent of the Pennsylvania State Fed eration of Labor and his states most prominent socialist, was the most recent development in the fight to establish control of the so- cialist party here by left wing group headed by Thomas.
 Thomas accused the old guard of sabotage and tyranny" in admin istration of party affairs and de- clared that the left wing group, which seeded from the party's cen- tral committee last Wednesday, was the true representative of socialist principles.
 "It is utterly false and ridiculous
 that we want to make the party communist or that we are fighting socialists in order to have general united front with communists, ' Thomas said. What we want is a clean, inclusive, aggressive socialist party. What we reject is the rule or ruin policy of the handful of old guard leaders"
 Maurer's charge that Thomas was using "Tammany" tactics referred specifically to the fight waged by Thomas for the unseating of Hill- quit as national chairman of the party in 1882. This conflict marked the beginning of the feud which has now found expression in the party split.

NEW ENGLAND TRADE.

Boston, Dec. 12-(UPl-New Eng land trade is running above that for a year ago, on consumer buy ing of necessities, luXurieS and holi- day goods, combined with the slow rise in the call for materials in in dustry, Dun & Bradstreet, Inc. said today in it's Weekly Review of busi- ness conditions in New England.
 The survey cited gains of Is per cent in freight car traffic and of B per cent in freight received from connections last week, as compared with year ago, while electric out put ran 11.5 per cent higher. It re- ported duties collected at the Port of Boston since July l were nearly Is per cent above year ago.
 Woolep mills continued to operate at a high rate, with prices of raw wool well maintained. Government orders were the strongest single fac- tor on new business, but mems and women's clothing was active, ac- cording to the survey. There was a good demand for gray goods for staple and fancy lines of cotton cloths, with the market for all grades of finished goods better, at steady prices.
 Woolen worsteds and yarns were moderately busy but cotton yards slowed a little from recent activity, the report found. Spinners are sold well ahead. Rayons were fairly &C., tive as the call for unfinished goods picked up.
 "The shoe market was featured by the recent advances amounting to about 15 per cent" the survey

 New York, Dec. 12-UP)-Stock prices tended lower today after an early recovery headed by oil shares.
 Oils were active with several at new highs,, including Pure Oil, Superior, Barnsdall, Standard of Indiana and Tide Water Associated Railroad shares weakened, with losses ranging to more than a point Selling came when St. Louis South western Railway announced it had petitioned to reorganize under the bankruptcy act. This also brought weakness in the main body of stocks. The announcement reflected poor condition of the railroads gen. orally.
 Silvers were firm fo ar time but later they slipped of with American Smelling recording a loss of more than 8 point. The silver situation still was uncertain. Secretary Nor genthau announced the treasury was still fulfilling terms of the sil- yer act but indicated buying was not necessarily confined to the Lon- don silver market.
 Further selling came into auto- mobile issues. Traders believed they had been carried high enough and were god sale. Production of auto mobiles for 1885 was estimated by the Association of Automobile man. ufacturers at 4,150,0OO cars and trucks, new high since 1929.
 Losses were in Continental Can, American Tobacco B, American Can, Allied Chemical, Sears Roebuck and Western Union, ranging to points.
 Several issues moved against the trend. Julius Kayser rose nearly a points to a new high. Cluett Pea body jumped more than 2 points to a new top.
 Grains were tseady. Cotton fut- ures were slightly higher. Silver at Montreal was steadier at lowel levels.

 PathOS in Some

 Faye didn't deceive anything last year but if Santa could do better this year she'd like a blackboard or a doll. She thought her five-year- old sister would like doll and buddy. three-year-old brother, would appreciate a wagon.

Cities Service Probed

Washington, Dec. 12.-(UP)-The Cities Service company, controlling more than billion dollar invest ment in oil and utility concerns. was accused in a federal trade com mission examiners report today of creating and maintaining an &C., tive market" in its own securities.
 Examiner A. E. Lundval said the company's wholly owned subsidiary. the Cities Service Securities com- pany, had bought and sold Cities Service company stock while large blocks of common stock were being disposed of to investors all over the nation.
 He said such action tended to prevent the market price of the securities in question from sagging under the influence of the additions to the supply because of the de- mand created by the securities com- pany purchases"
 Devastated Net Income
 Lundvall also said the concern "overstated" it's met income" be- cause there were not reserves for depreciation and replacement and that the company showed S70,- 100000 "write-up'.
 Robert Burns, counsel to Cities Service company, defended tke wholly owned subsidiarys stock dealing on the ground that public demand and public buying" was responsible for the market price.
 "The high prices which the com mon stock of Cities Service con- pany attained in 1929 was due en- tirely to the discovery of a major oil pool by one of the subsidiaries of Cities Service company, which attracted public interest at time when security prices were rapidly rising, both in price and volume" Burns said.
 In summary of his report deal- ing with subsidiary's market sales, Examiner Lundvall said:
 Keep Marketing
 ''This function was variously de- scribed as that of facilitating the marketing of securities of Cities Service company and its subsidi- aries, supervising the market for such issues, and establishing 8 ready resale market, so that own- CTS of securities of Cities Service company and it's subsidiaries could readily dispose of their holdings at retail when they desired to do so. This function consisted of purchas- ing from day to day in consider able volume on the organized ex- change securities then being mar keted or about to be marketed.
 This tended to prevent the mar ket price of the securities in question from sagging un- der the influence of the additions to the supply because of the de- mand created by the securities com pany purchases. Such purchases had the effect of sustaining the market quotations for the securities of Cities Service company which were being marketed from time to time. The funds with which these purhcases were made were obtained in part through cash, part time, or installment sales to investors all over the United States to whom the Doherty organization and its rep resentatives were selling Cities Ser vice common stock"

democrat. His mayoral campaign was his first political venture.
 Held No Rallies t

Holding no rallies, attempting no Spellbinding, the husky, ruddy- faced gate-tender merely remained in the seclusion of his flag shanty and converted into supporters the many citizens who dropped in for friendly chats.
 Actually, Estes had waged IT, year campaign. For during this period that he has minded the gates he has built list of ac- quaintances unrivalled hereaboutS. He has had wave of the hand and a cheery greeting for every paSserby, and. most of them he can call by their first names.
 Unlike most crossing-tenders, the mayor-elect plays neither chess nor checkers. He finds his recreation ill reading books and philosophiz- ing and, off duty, in driving his Studebaker around the countryside. He earns about $20 a week.
 Estes lives with his wife and daughter Audrey in a neat white cottage on South Main street, New Auburn, and he smilingly informs you that his street number is the same as his weight-214
 Started as Brakeman
 Starting work for the Maine Gen. tral railroad as a brakeman in 1895, he lost one foot in an acci- dent Is years later, but a slight limp is the only remaining evil dence or this.
 Asked what led him into politics, Estes explained:
 "The people have been disgusted with the way things have been go- ing, and there's no mistaking that. But somehow everyone kept waiting for someone else to do something about it.
 T kept waiting. too. I hoped someone would get out and run for office who could think of the work ing man. But no on ceame along, so I began to think that I had some pretty good friends aroundn and lot of them thought the way I did about things. So I decided to run"
