UNITED STATES HELPED SILVER

London July 9.-(UP)-The United States government, through operation of its two-billion dollar equalization fund. today came to the rescue of collapsing silver market after frantic appeals from British silver brokers.
 The market was in a deadlock for 50 minutes with heavy selling orders pouring in from ali sources. especially the Far East. There were no buying orders
 It was confirmed that official United States buying absorbed 15.- 100000 ounces of the white metal at the fixed price of 80 1-4 pence (G7.ss cents an ounce.) The latter was off only 3-16ths penny from the previous close. Without inter- vention 0f the American equaiiza- ton fund. a much sharper break would have occurred. according to experts.

 OF C. O..P. START TO FORM PARTY
Disgruntled Republicans Do Not Like the Present
 Leaders of Party

Formation of an independent re- publican party is underway in Wa terbury, it was learned from an authentic source today. Following disclosure of the makeup of the leadership of the independent democratic party, many republicans who had felt kindly toward form ing fusion faction by supporting the disgruntled democrats have de- cided that they must form a new ticket for themselves and have al- ready started plans to do so.
 The independent republican group will be made up mostly of anti-Pape g. o. p. voters, 1t is un- derstood, feeling that under the new leadership, headed by Attor- ney F. W. Palomba as town chair man the party has gotten nowhere to date.
 Not Esteemed Highly
 The recent failure of the present party leaders to gain an interview with State Republican Chairman J. Henry Roraback showed, it is claimed by the new group, the small esteem in which the re-organ ization group here, now in power, is held by the Connecticut g. o. p. heads.
 Several leading republicans are known to be behind the third 6. o. p. party movement. Meetings have been planned. it is understood, and shortly an announcement of the names of those behind the drive against the Pape-Palomba regime will fe announced, 1t was said to- day, just as soon as organization has been finally completed.
 One More Ticket
 The entry of the independent re- publican ticket into the local poli- tical field will place an additional ticket on the voting machines this fall. History will be made here, as far as local municipal elections are concerned, in view of the fact that more ticl-ets will be on the machines this fall than ever before. Others who will be on the machines aside from the regular and independent tickets will be candidates for municipal offices from the labor. communist and so- cialist parties.

 AGAIN REDUCED
Another Reduction in the Gty's Allotment Must
 Slash the Force

Another large reduction in ahe city's monthly ZEBRA allotment such as was announced last week will necessitate a considerable cut in the number employed here on EZRA projects, William NJ. Harris, Waterbury relief administrator said to-day.
 Although the fund for the cur- rent month has been approximate ly one-third, there will be no lay off of EZRA labor at present be- cause of balance carried over from the previous month, Mir. Har- ris said.
 But the problem is one which must be faced in the near future" i" he added. "If the fund is cut still another third for the next allotment it will be necessary to drop some of the workers from the EZRA list.
 Must Be Faced
 If I can find out just how much the city will be given during August, and if the allotment is to be further reduced I will be com pelled to decrease the number of workers probably before the end of the current month"
