the duties of taking the personal tax enumeration should be trans- ferred from the office of the Reg istrar of Voters to the Tax Asses sor.
 The action in the House to-day is expected to be duplicated in the senate also and thus authority over the personal tax lists will remain in the offices in which it Is now vest ed. Had the bill been passed 1t would have eliminated a section of the new Waterbury city char ter.

Cold Heather, HOwerer,

More snow was promised Washing

The sudden cold wave expected to-
night. however, should arrive in modi-

Meanwhile. the Northeast was ex-

SENATE MAY GET
PAY AMENDMENT
Restoration to Be Sought
in Body if Committee
Bans Acceptance.

Although Senate rules may prevent
the Appropriations Committee from
attaching the immediate per cent
Government pay restoration amend
ment to the pending deficiency reso-
luton. the question will be put before
the Senate within a few days as an
amendment offered from the floor by
Senator McCarran if it is finally ruled
out in committee.
The subcommittee handling the de-
ficiency measure is understood to have
discussed the parliamentary status of
the pay amendment today, and while
it has not completed its work. indica-
tions were that the rule against in
cluding legislation in an appropriation
bill would preclude a subcommittee
recommendation for the amendment.
The entire Appropriations Commit
tee, however. would then have to act
on the deficiency resolution before it
goes TO the Senate, and the question
of including the pay amendment may
be raised there
In any event, Senator McCarran will
place the issue before the Senate
when the deficiency measure is re-
ported. and will make every effort to
have it adopted. 1t is believed by
those familiar with the situation that
there is better chance of having the
amendment incorporated On the floor
than in the committee.
If Senator McCarran succeeds in
having the amendment adopted in the
Senate, it would then go back to the
House. The House has already passed
the pending resolution which con-
tainS supplemental operating ex-
penSes for several Government COM
missions, but any items added in the
Senate will have to be passed on by
the House or sent to conference.

INJUNCTION DENIED.
IN SUIT ON CODE.
Cotton Garment Workers to
Get Benefits Under Court
Ruling.

District Supreme Court Justice
Jesse C. Adkins today refused to grant
request for a preliminary injunction
restraining Inauguration of a 36-hour
week in the cotton garment industry
This ruling was made in a suit brought
by the Alabama Textile Products Co.
and 81 other concerns engaged in
the manufacture Of cotton goods
The 36-hour week was fixed by
President Roosevelt in an amendment
to the code for the cotton garment
industry under authority Of the Ma
tional industrial recovery act. The
amendment also provided for in
creases in minimum wages, and was
sustained in both respects.
Prison Injunction Refused.
The court also refused to grant a
preliminary injunction to restrain
what the plaintiffs described as ''un-
fair competition from prison-made
garments" The manufacturers had
asked the court to prevent the use
of Blue Eagle label similar to their
own on the prison made goods. In
refusing to do this. Justice Adkins
pointed out that work is essential to
rehabilitation of prisoners and also
that the competition from this form
of goods is decreasing.
The court did not pass upon the
conStitutionality Of the code of fair
competition, pointing out that the
plaintiffs for purposes of their present
motion conceded the constitutionality
of the statute and of the code
Counsel for the plaintiffs and the
Government during argument of the
case expressed divergent views con-
corning the power of the President
arbitrarily to amend a code after he
has once approved it. Counsel for
the Government commended in effect.
that such power is unlimited. while
the plaintiffs attorneys argued the
President had no power to amend
such a code except upon the appli-
cation and consent of the industry.
Presidents Power Held Implied.
Refusing to agree with either of
these contentious, Justice Adkins de-
cided Congress intended to give the
President some power to amend code
provisions. but did not attempt to de-
fine the limits of this power. He held,
however. the statute did authorize the
amendment involved in this case.
The original code provided 4O-hour
week in the industry and minimum
wage of 80 cents an hour in the
Southern section of the country and
3212 cents an hour in the Northern
section. This did not result in gain
in employment. and the amendment,
reducing the working week to Sc
hours and adjusting minimum wages
to correspond, was therefore issued.
The amendment has not been in
force because a restraining order had
been issued protecting the plaintiffs
in this respect and as a result of this,
the National Recovery Board granted
exemptions to the rest of the in
duStry.
More than 100000 workers are af-
fected by the order.

Isaac r. Hit in Traffic Court today
on q charge of failing to change his
automobile permit address-and still

he gave the bureau Thirteenth and
Water streets southwest. which is at
the edge Of Washington Channel and
off which point his houseboat is an
chored, as his address. Hudson for
merly lived in the 900 block of Third
street southwest and received his mail

DETROIT, January 22.-State
police revealed this morning that the
automobile that Alvin Karpis and his
companion. Harry Campbell. took
from an Allentown, Pa, physician
yesterday had been found abandoned
near Monroe, Mich. with the motor
running. Why it was abandoned had
net been determined. The car appar-
emily had been headed toward
Detroit.
Immediately the search for Karpis
and Campbell, last members at large
of the notorious Karpis- Barker gang,
accused of the Bremen kidnapping and
other crimes, was concentrated in this
section.
The car was taken from DR.. Horace
Hunsicker after two men who. police
are confident, were Karpis and Camp
bell, abducted him near Quakertown,
Pa, and forced him to drive into
Ohio. Dr.. Hunsicker was tied and
left behind near Wadsworth. Ohio,
last night while the fugitives drove on.
Machine Gun at Back.
DR. Hunsicker drove the two men
with a machine gun pointed con-
stantly at his back. but was unable
to identify them as Karpis and Camp
bell.
Sheriff Ray Kruggel expressed the
belief, however. that the two men
were the fugitives, who shot their way
out OF an Atlantic City hotel Sunday.
DR.. HunSicker said he was driving
along near Allentown at about mid
night Sunday when a car came along
side. A horn was blown and Or. Hun
Slcker stopped his car. On a side
road they abandoned their car and
both got in with him.

they stopped once or twice for gasoline
and water.

Hall. deserted and dark, the two men
broke in the door and took DR.. Hun
s1cker to the second floor. Keeping
the machine gun pointing at him,
they bound him with heavy cord, a
belt and strips torn from a pair of

squirm loose from his bonds. He then
went to a nearby farmhouse and
