McGrath and Edward Mascolo of Waterbury would be completing their service on the bench Thursday, May 15. Under provisions of the bill passed the terms of all judges are extended to July 1
 This was republican move to allow more time for bargaining" Speculation over the status of the Waterbury city court was still heard today with the opinion most voiced being that Judge McGrath would be renamed, but that Judge Edward Mascolo would be replaced on the city court bench by Repub- lican Town Chairman and Assis- tant Senate Clerk Frederick w.

 House Was Late
 Opening of the house was held up more than an hour without ex- planation.
 Majority Leader Hickey, republi- can, immediately offered the list and asked for suspension of rules.

 Bergin's move to be excused from the chamber while the vote was being taken was taken as an indication the socialists wished to steer clear of the patronage row but when he finally cast his lot with republicans, the news quick ly spread to the senate where 1t was talked of adding another days delay to consideration there.

 Thoms Never Saw Bill
 Rep. Thoms said today, T would like to know when this bill was raised in the judiciary committee that is now before the House. l have attended every meeting of the committee, both public and execu- tive, and I have never heard of any such bill being raised. This bill merely represents 8 grab by the republicans and they know they're going to get everything and they are going to take everything they can get. There are certain coun- ties in the state which last elec- tion showed democratic majori- ties. I feel because of these ma- jorities they should have commits toners representing both major po- litical parties. I thereby move for a roll-ca1l vote"

 When those indicated go on trial, evidence presented to the federal jury will include 17 reels of mo- tion pictures showing alleged members of the syndicate" dis porting themselves at the Warwick "crime mansion.'' This was re- vealed after the films were seized at the elaborate gangster hideout yesterday.

 Counterfeit Gang
 New York, May IA - (UP)g = Federal agents believed today the arrest of eight men, including the notorious victor (count) Lustig, shattered the shrewdest counter feiting ring in the country and ended wide distribution of bogus bank notes in the United States and Canada.
 Secret service men, trailing a gang of super counterfeiters for l,A nf the nearly perfect currency when they seized the count. A copper plate designed to press the silk-veining into paper on which the bogus notes were printed was among the paraphernalia and $51,000 in counterfeit money uncovered in cache. The bills were in $5, $10. $20 and $100 denominations.
 A subway station locker in teem- ing Times Square yielded the bogus notes and plates for printing them. The key that unlocked the reposi- tory was found in the Counts pos session.

 Federal agents under Robert l.. Godby said the Counts technique was as nearly perfect as any they had encountered.
 The Count, they said, never passed any bogus money. He always was especially particular to pay his personal bills with legal currency and he lived frugally. One of the Counts rigid rules was never to become involved with women, agents said. He was pie tured as having entree to the "400," always as the reserved gentleman without ostentation. He even was said to have been sn honored guest in fashionable Park avenue homes.

BONUS FORCES
 CLAIM STRENGTH

(Continued from Page II contended, could not hurt the President politically, but might aid both him and the party through winning business votes on the veto and Veterans votes by final passage.
 Discounted Warnings
 Bonus forces, in rehearsing their strategy last night, discounted a warning by E. W. Kemmerer, mon- etary expert and Princeton pro- lessor of International finance, that enactment of the Patman bill would have disastrous inflationary effects.
 Kemmerer told the senate bank ing subcommittee he "could hard ly think of words" to describe the calamity which would result from passage of the $2,000, 100000 Pat man bill to pay the bonus by new issues of greenbacks.
 It would, he said, result in an- other flight from the dollar and might cause imitation such as brought disaster to Germany. He described the bill as placing the nation on the brink of volcano.
 Senator Elmer Thomas, demo- crat, Oklahoma, Patman leader, expected to dispose of his motion to reconsider the 55 to 33 senate vote approving the bill speedily to- day. The bill will go to the house for Speaker Joseph Byrnes sigma ture, back to the senate for Vice. President John Gamers signature and then to the White House.
 Rejected Late Proposal
 It was learned that sponsors of the currency expansion program rejected last-minute attempt by Senator Pat Harrison, democrat, Mississippi, to substitute his less expensive compromise proposal. Senator Bennett Champ Clark, democrat, Missouri, failed in a similar effort to obtain support for the Vinson- American Legion plan to pay the Veterans Adjusted Service Certificate by a govern bond issue.

N. J., police held for investigation, Anthony Salerno, Saloonkeeper, said to be the stepfather of Me- Namara.
 Identification of Nichols as one of the Newburgh bandits brought the rapid developments. Miss Elsie Vandermark, bank clerk. posi- lively identified him. McNamara and Heal also were identified. Mo- Namara was identified as one of the men who participated in the Corn Exchange robbery.
 In Atlantic Together
 McNamara, Keefe and Nichols, were prisoners together in the fed eral penitentiary at Atlanta. Nichols and McNamara were trans ferred to prison farm from which they escaped in November, 1893. Keefe was released last March. He told police since that time, Nichols had befriended him and given him home.
 A chance remark made by Miss Maher that Nichols could fly a plane turned detectives minds to the $427,500 armored car robbery in Brooklyn last fall. Police have long had a theory seaplane was used in the get away. Nichols's s College Point address was close to Flushing Bay, which is easily ac- csssible by the speedboat the rob- bers are known to have used.
 More Money Found
 Revisiting the house early to- day, police discovered $1,63O hid- den behind a radiator. Miss Maher told police it was given her by Heal.
 New Jersey detectives returned to Hackensack today to give thelr evidence to Prosecutor John d.. Breslin of Bergen county, who IS expected to ask the grand jury for murder indictments against Heal and McNamara tomorrow.
 Police intimated there was possibility the men under arrest were involved in a number or re- cent bank robberies in the south.

 Department officials, obviously pleased, viewed the movement as the, farm reply to demands by tex tile manufacturers that the pro- cessing tax on cotton be elimlnat- Cd and the scope of the AAA dras- tically reduced.
 Special delegations were here or sn route from 20 states. They in- c1uded cotton raisers, wheat grow CTS, corn planters, sugar beet pro- ducers and tobacco growers.
