Nationwide Plan
 To Clean Up Crime
New York State Chamber of Commerce Issues Panl-
 phIet "Iaw Enforcement and the Citizens"

New York, Feb 22--A national movement to deal with the crim- inal menace is urged by J. Edgar Hoover, director of the division of investigation of the U. s. depart ment of justice. in a pamphlet en. titled Flaw Enforcement and the Citizen," which was made public today by the chamber of com merce of the state of New York.
 Mir Hoover says the claim that crime costs the United States $15,- 0OO,O00.000 yearly is not fanciful one. He attacks political influence as one of the most vicious forces which law-enforcement officers have to fight. Parole. he declares. is becoming lone of the major menaces" of America.
 ''The department of justice hopes to enlist the interest and the active support of the American people in their respective commit mites in a sustained national movement to deal with the crim- inal menace" he says. "It Is the citizen's duty to see that criminal attorneys or lawyers criminal,' as the attorney general calls them. are forced out of their alliances with the underworld and are pro. perly punished. It is the citizens duty to see to it that the prisoner is not coddled nor allowed to be freed through easy and sometimes, I regret to say, financially reach. aEle persons with powers of elem ency."
 MT Hoover makes an earnest plea to all law-abiding citizens to have their fingerprints taken and filed with the non-criminal unit of the department of justice at Wash.

Electric Output In
 State Rose In 1884
Big Gain Over Previous Year NOted-Lar Increases
 in First Five Months Responsible

Total kil0watt hour production by electrical generating plante ia Connecticut during the year of 1884 was greater by 9.S per cent than the generation output of Connecticut stations during the previous year, 1t is shown in sta- tistics based upon the monthly power reports of public utility companies to the United States Geological Survey.
 Connecticut's total output of electricity for 1884 was i,2y3,S91,- 900 kilowatt hours as compared with a figure of 1,i74,OS4,UOO kilo. watt hours in 1888, an increase Of 109,867,O0O kilowatt hours. The states generation In 1882 was l. O40,462,O00 kilowatt hours and the all-tisne high record created in the boom year of 1929 was 1,4Ss,976,- 900 kiIowatt hours.
 Although a substantial part of the gain which 1884 showed Lyer 1933 in electrical production wAs accounted for by increased use of electricity for household light and power by individual domestic cus4 toners, the gain generally can be attributed to an improvement h industrial utilization of power early in the year. In fact, the curve of production followed closely the ups and downs of industrial indices during the year. Marked increas- es in electrical output were re-

corded during the first five months of the year when business condi. tions were at their best, both Janu- ary and February having brought extraordinary gains In generation over their corresponding months irl 1888. In June with the retarda- tion of industry, the volume of generation dropped below the fly- lires of 1883 and continued gen. erally downward except for an un- changed output in August and slight gains in October and Decem. Der. As compared with 1883, seven months of 1884 showed definite in- creases in generation.
 Use of electricity domestically for light and for the operation ot Household appliances progressed during the rast year due to two important factors. These were the laying of plans by the power anu light companies as far back as the depression of 1921 to make the use of electricity more attractive in the home and to build a domestic load that would be self-sustaining in the face of any conditions; and the many revisions since that time il, rate structures, which revisions have made it possible for the householder to utilize greater quantities of electricity at pro- excessively lower costs per kilowatt hour. According to an analysis of domestic electric service made ny the Edison Electric Institute for the year ending June 30, 1884, the revenue received per kilowatt hour in Connecticut is less than in any other New England state, while the average annual use of power do- mestically is greater than In any other state in the regional group,

CARNERA PLEASES
 BAZAAR PATRONS
Former Champion Aids in Making MiddletOwn
 Event a Success

Niddletown, Feb 22-The confi- dent prediction that he would re. gaia the title he lost to Max Baer a year ago. by next June, was giv- en more than 400 wildly cheering local residents last night by Primo Camera, who came here to assist in making the annual bazaar of St Sebastian's church success.
 The huge Italian was accom-. Levin his trainer, and a New York sports writer respectively and for more than an hour he was beseiged by well wishers who crowded around eager to shake his hand. His hand was kept busy pumping until he departed for New York, where he is to go into training for the bout March 15 with Impel- litiere.
 Maxie Baer was lucky to win the title fro inhim. Camera told his listOners for he was crippled by the bad ankle which was injured early in the bout. But next June, he warmed, the result of the bout he hopes to get with Baer will be al. together different. In the Italian language, Camera thanked the audience for their reception.
 Levin and Defoe were introduced and spoke briefly as did Arthur B. Mckinley of the Hartford Times and Big Ed Walsh, former White Sox pitcher, who was discovered in the crowd. Rev Rocco Guerriero. rector, presided and introduced the guests.
 Assisted by Joe Fish of this city, Camera went through the motions of being an auctioneer, disposing of several cakes at fancy prices and selling also a. pair of his ring gloves, the proceeds of which all went to the benefit of the church.
 Police had to force a lane through the crowds that thronged about the big fighter when he en- tered the hall and later when he made his exit. but through 1t all Camera kept smiling and appeared to be enjoying himself. He showed Q flair for comedy in challenging anyone in the hall, and agreed to take on Young" Rizzo, g fly weight. No exhibition was al- lowed. Father Guerriero explain. ing that under his present contract the big man cannot participate in exhibition bouts and 1t was only because he had made a promise some time ago to come here that he was allowed to. leave his train- ing quarters.

Roger Babson Says
Nation to See
Prosperity

~- NEW YORK, Dec. 2. UP)
The next two or three years
should witness a period of
prosperity, unless
something happens" Roger
w. Babson, noted economist, told
the New York Sales Executives club
today.
He said two distinct business
cycles always are in operation, first
the so-called prosperity -decline-de-
pression-improvement cycle which
lasts 10 or more years, and, second,
the total tidal movements which
extend over about so years, during
which the standard of living is i'm
proving Or declining.
At present, Bapson said, the ma
tion is in the improvement period
of the first-named cycle.
"All statistics indicate that bus
mess is getting better and should
soon be back to normal" he said.

CORN-HOG PLAN
ANNOUNCED BY
SEC. WALLACE

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2. U.P-A
1862 corn-hog adjustment pro-
gram, designed to maintain a bal
ance between producer and con-
Sumer interests, was announced to-
day by Secretary of Agriculture
Henry A. Wallace.
The new plan proposes to permit
80 per cent increase in hog pro-
duction next year over 1885, pre-
pairing the way for possible reduc-
tionS in pork prices, and to restrict
corn acreage to about 95,000,000
acres, an increase of about ! 100000
acres over the amount harvested
this year.
The bureau of agricultural econ
omics reported results of a survey
showing that AAA processing taxes
either had been passed on to the
consumer or had been paid indi-
rectly by the farmer who received
lover prices for his products.
Cooperating producers must agree
to plant corn next year on at least
Is per cent of their base acreageS.
They will be permitted to retire
from 10 to 30 per cent of their base
acreage for soil-improving or ero-
sion preventing purposes. Hog
growers must agree to produce be-
tween so and 100 per cent of the
base market production.
The 1886 corn adjustment pay
ment will be So cents per bushel
on the appraised yield times the
adjusted acreage, less the pro rata
share of local administrative ex-
penseS.

DEATH DEALING
RAY DEVISED

BERKELEY, Cal, Dec. 2. (U.P)-
University of California scientists
are experimenting with a neutron
lethal ray said to be 10 times more
powerful than X-rays, it was learn
ed today.
The experiments still are in their
infancy and the research workers
do not know yet whether their
work will have any practical value.
Their problem is that of harness.
ing the tremendously powerful ray.
At present they are forced to work
with it from a distance of at least
so feet. Within that distance its
penetrating power is almost deadly.
Rats exposed to it showed drop in

the opinion it might be possible
to reach an agreement to the sat-
isfaction of all concerned, he said.
If Schram cannot come to Califor-
mia, Hewes will go to Washington.
The board in a special meeting
Saturday afternoon deleg a t e d
Hewes to confer with Schram at
Washington after Hewes said the
bondholders will not accept the
75-cent refinancing offer. The pres
ident told the board he contacted
approximately 80 per cent of the
bondholders and the 75-cent plan
was not acceptable to them.
Hewes said today that he hoped
some satisfactory figure may be
reached by arbitration and the dis
trict may be able to effect a saw
ing between $15,000,000 and $16,-
100000.
1.-The present RFC suggestion of
a flat offer of 72 cents on 80 per
cent deposit and graduated to rs
cents on a 100 per cent deposit,
with the same price on all types of
securities" Hewes said, does not
interest the bondholders. The pro-
posal of a flat price for the differ
ent classes of bonds of different

ferentation made according to
value.
Offer Not Favored
81 hope the present deadlock
may be broken by arbitration.
Holders of approximately four and
one half million dollars in bonds
told me last week that they do
not favor the present offer.
"If we do not reach an under
standing regarding the financing"
the president continued" we will
not get the $2,000,0OO loan from
the government for drainage pur-
poses."
The resolution to send Hewes to

board at Saturdays meeting with
