Irish Nazi Leader
 Arrives For Crusade
Former CCC Camp Youth Here to Solicit Members, War on Enemies of Cause Faced Federal Quizz

Back into Waterbury, just as Charles w. Campbell and his com munist activities were holding the limelight, there came today the military attired figure of Raymond Joseph Healey-the same lad who last summer left the eco camp at Thonaston after he had been formally charged with sedition, tho same lad who in December made the front pages of the nations newspapers when he marched into Q congressional hearing in New York at the head of an army" of followers and engaged In a hot verbal battle with Rep Samuel Dickstein, chairman of the house committee Investigating alleged anti-American activity.
 Brother Healey strode into the city room of The Democrat wear ing the green hat, Sam Browne belt and khaki outfit which he had on when he led @ group of fol- in New York little more than two months ago. Waterbury, he said, with enthusiasm was to be the scene of his enterprise for the next few weeks, meanwhile tossing about copies of paper headed in bold black type as "Ha1ey's Irish Weekly"
 'Trish Weekly"
 Here is an outline of Healey's present status. as nearly as can be figured out: The Irish Weekly is not really Irish, but Is the organ of the National Socialist Workers party of \ America Approximately, therefore, Nazi); though leader of the party, he supports for presi-, dent in 1936 former Congressman Louis McFadden of Pennsylvania; he vehementiy opposes the league of nations, but attacks the league for admitting Russia, which he says he despises more than the league: he decries Roosevelt and praises Hitler.
 Waterbury will prove fertile field. MT Healey believes, and he scoffed at any idea that Campbell. communist organizer, had pretty well worked this territory. Before

TROUT TAGGING
 CHANGES NEEDED
Need of Longer Season Shown By State Board of
 Fisheries and Game

Hartford, Feb 15--A report just completed by the U. s. bureau of fisheries recommends a longer trout fishing season for q. number of Connnecticut streams because 59 per cent of the trout planted in them later disappear, the state board of fisheries and game an- nounced today.
 The report Is q compilation of data supplied by anglers who returned 5401 numbered tags dur ing the past two years from the 5,613 tagged trout released in 36 streams during 1893. The data showed that water conditions in some streams are so unsuitable that trout will no longer remain In them throughout the year.
 Tags returned from trout plant ed In the Quinnipiac river, New Haven county, and the Shepaug river, Lltchheld county proved that so per cent of the fish proved that downstream. Not tag was res ceived from the Shepaug river last year. A number came from tho Housatonic river to which the trout had moved, however. High water temperatures are blamed for the Shepaug trout exodus and pol- lution is held the reason for a similar movement in the Quinni- plac.
 Brown trout are shown to, be more difficult to catch than the brook trout. Only 23. per cent of the brown trout tags were returned as compared with Al per cent from brook trout.
 Seventy per cent of the trout released are taken close to the point of liberation. Brook trout showed q greater tendency to move down. The peak of the down. stream movement was recorded on the Housatonic where one brown trout was caught 62 miles below the liberation point.
 The report. prepared by Wins ton A. Elkins, states: There is every reason to believe that ad- ditional fishing sometime after July 15 would result in more Of tise stacked trout being utilized by anglers. <. The trout have no chance of survival anyway under present cOnditions."

time there were three of them there. Now there are none, but women visitors are not in- frequent. "Yeh, the same ones come here all the time," said one of the gquatters. "They been comin' here for four, five months now"
 It is not unusual to open the door of one of the shacks and see one or two men sitting in- side, staring straight ahead with unseeing eyes. Tn this very same position, they pass many hours of their days, their eyes open but unseeing; their bodies erect in rough chairs. No sparkle comes from these eyes; they are dim, lustre- less eyes on which is imprinted the marks of hopelessnegB.
 solace fin Drink
 It is little wonder that Holly wood turns to homemade smoke for consolation and the drugged peace that 1t brings if 1t brings only that and not blindness or convulsfOns. Only last week one of the squatters died of wood alcohol poison ing; three others went to the hospital, partially blind. For the rest of their lives, doctors say, the three recovering will be cursed with "jumpiness", a nervous ailment brought on when the system absorbs wood alcohol. a
 But this week, smoke was being drunk just the same. It is compounded of wood al- cohol, and boiling water, to which charcoal is added. The whole mixture is then laid aside for a few weeks; in that time, these men believe, the charcoal will "cure" the bever- craze. This drink, almost im- possible to swallow and repeli- ing even in it's smell, is downed without an eyelash quiver by the squatters. When, occas- sionally, there is enough money on hand for a twenty-five cent bottle of regular "smoke" there is a real party" at Hollywood.
 Men can't be "choosy" at Hollywood; they take what comes and are sullenly grate- ful no matter what 1t Is that does come.

AUTO PRESENTED
 FATHER HINCHEY
Former Local Curate Re- nlembered By Rockville
 Friends

Rev Francis J. Hinchey, who left the Church of the Blessed Sacra- ment in this city several years ago to take up duties in Rockville and who was recently named pastor of St Isatrick's church in East Hamp- ton, was presented with a sedan by his Rockville practitioners last night at a testimonial held in the church hall in that city. Judge John E. Fahey was master of ceremonies at the reception in Father 1inchey's honor last eve. ninR at which the presentation of the gift was made.
 Father Hinchey left Waterbury eight years ago. While here he was very popular. He served as chaplain of the fire department. The presentation of the gift was made by Rev George T. Sinnott, pastor of St Bernard's church, whose assistant Father Hinchey had been. :.
 More than 500 persons attended the reception. Father Hinchey thanked the. members of the church for the fine reception and the gift, stating that the latter will be of great assistance to him in his new field of service.

he was in the office 10 minutes, he announced plans for an imme- diate membership of 150 men and women and said he would rent headquarters for his party within a day or two.
 The main point of Healey's pro- gram, according to his statements and literature, Is activity against Nazi enemies. His papers purpose, as stated on the first page, Is ITO Combat the Radical Minority In- fuence". On that point, Healey waxes warm and eloquently. No, he said, he didn't expect any trouble from the Waterbury police; in fact, he hadn't even thought of 1t.
 Socialist Faction
 His National Socialist Workers Harty, Healey explains, will in 1885 support McFadden (the same representative who asked that Hoover be impeached and who was kept from his own party's counc- ils) for president, though the lat- ter will run on a ticket known as the Christian Republican party. McFadden and he, said Healey seriously, have the backing of 40 million people. (When here last summer after his difficulty in Thomaston, Healey announced himself as a Silver Shirt. At the eco camp in Thomaston he was arrested for distributing allegedly radical literature, was held for federal trial, but discharged in- stead from the CCC.)
 He had a conference in Wash ington last week with Senator Huey Long, Healey confided, and the kingfish agreed to support the candidacy of McFadden. (That news should be greeted with relief in Washington.) Long, says Hea- ley, agrees that McFadden is the man to beat Roosevelt in 1898.
 "The storm"
 Healey's Irish Weekly, which, by the way. has most of its ad- vertising from German establish- ments in New York's Yorkville, will have It's name changed start ing with next weeks issue. It will be known from now on as "The storm. ct was not an- nounced how or why the new name was picked.)
 Mir Healey's party has an em- blem, the Hitler swastika: e sal- ute, the Nazi upraised arm ges- ture; and 6 campaign song.
 The campaign song deserves re- beating. We quote in verbatim:

SENATE GROUP
PRESSES FIGHT
ON FARM BILL
Insurgents Seek Commit
ment to Vote on Frazier
Lemke Measure.
Copyright. 1885. BY United Press

iN1hN AAAA4rt 1907 Df Nt44AtA FAtSel
WASHINGTON, Aug. lO.-Senats
insurgent forces, encouraged by a
definite commitment to vote on the
veterans bonus next January,
sought in a vigorous under-cover
movement today to obtain similar
concessions on the $4,000 000,0 600
farm mortgage bill.
They were aided indirectly by
anxiety of leaders to remove all
possible barriers to early adjourn
ment
Negotiations are under way to-
ward a compromise arrangement I'M
der which farm aid advocates would
agree not to harass the pending
S2,500,000 Roosevelt tax bill in ex-
change for a promise to bring the
FraNer-Lemke bill forward early
next session.
Feared by Administration
The Frazier-Lemke bill, aimed at
liquidating and refnancing agri-
cultural Indebtedness at a reduced
rate of interest, has been one Of
the insurgent movements feared by
the Administration
The bonus proposals provided the
other serious threat against an early
adjournment. Having disposed Of
the bonus issue by promising to
make it special order of business
during the first month of the next
session, leaders hoped the farm bloc
would suspend its activities and
agree to later consideration
Several weeks ago Sen. William F..
Borah (R.. IdaD, predicted the
session would run into October be-
cause of organized movements for
both the bonus and the farm mort
gage bills.
Would Aid Adjournment
The bonus threat has been re-
moved and an arrangement on the
Frazier-Lemke bill whether made
publicly or privately. would provide
the opportunity for closing out Con-
greSS in another two weeks.
With the bonus threat removed
from tax bill consideration, lead
ers watched for other possible
threats against the measure. The
farm mortgage proposals were in
process of negotiation, leaving the
La Toilette higher tax program and
the war profits amendments as the
outstanding barriers to quick con-
sideration and passage of the tax
bill.

DEALERS URGED
QUERIES BY SEC
Brokers Themselves Drew
Up Questions Now Sub
jeCt to Criticism.
By Times Special

By Times Special
WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-By way
of answering published criticisms of
its recent QUESTIONABLE sent to sew
eral thousand over the counter
dealers, the Securities and Exchange
Commission today made known the
fact that representatives of the deal
ers themselves had devised the Sec
tons under criticism.
In seeking information in connec-
ton with it's study as to whether
broker and dealer activity should
be segregated, the SEC originally
planned only four questions for its
QUESTIONABLE to over-the-counter
dealers.
However, when representatives of
the over the-counter dealers and
investment bankers came to Wash
ington they advised that the num-
Der of questions be enlarged to
fourteen in order to obtain more
comprehensive data and more &C
curate picture of the problem.
However, New York newspapers
have recently published criticisms
of the SEC QUESTIONABLE as being
altogether too complicated and long.
An SEC spokesman today said
that the commission may follow up
this QUESTIONABLE with another one
of a selected list of firms, both ex-
change and over-the-counter, which
are believed to be typical" The
missionaries are only preliminary
and give no indication as to what
the SEC will recommend in the
way of segregation of broker and
dealer activity.
