Farmer Saved By New Deal, Asserts U. s.
 Attorney Butler

Hartford, Conn, Sept. 30-(UP)- The New Deal was credited today with being the farmers Salvation" by U. s. Attorney Robert P. But Ter.
 American farmers, Butler said in a broadcast, are "out of the red for the first time since 1921. This salvation they owe to the Roosevelt administration
 "Of course" he said, "it has cost money. But which would you rather have, few billions dollars of debt on the books of the richest country in the world, or the aftermath of civil war which threatened de- struction to the richest agriculture empire in the world?"
 Butler said Gov. Ali M. Landon, in 1883, recommended to President Roosevelt an imitation of the cur rency to help the farmers.
 "To his everlasting credit" But Ter said, "and to the salvation of American currency, President Roose- welt repudiated the Landon sugges- tion and has stood like a rock against every move for imitation" :"
 He said the supreme court out lawed the AAA, not because or US aims, but because it infringed on the rights of the states.
 "There isn't" he said, "a word in the decision which holds that its aims and purposes and principles are improper"

JUDGE PEASLEY
 KIWANlS GUEST

.
 A description of the Connecticut jury system and brief history of the system in the United States and England, where it originated, was given to the members of the local Kiwanis club this noon at the Elton by Judge Frederick M. Peasley.
 The speaker pointed out that when the system was first used, the men were selected for civil and cases according to place of resi- dence. He also discussed the man. ner in which a jury is charged.
 Among other interesting things in connection with the jury, he said, is the fact that there seems 10 be no reason offered as to why there are twelve. members selected. It seems to have been the result of an adherence to al old adage, that there is safety in numbers. ss

Produce Market
Furnished by Connecticut Department of Agriculture.
 B. P. Storrs. local agent.)

Frost damage to tender vegetable crops late last week was limited to a few scattered spots in less favored areas in this part of the state &C., cording to growers reports at the local farmers market Monday morn- ing. Most of them reported that actual damage was not as great as was expected at first. The majority reported no damage to such vegeta- ble crops as tomatoes, peppers, snap beans, lima beans, or egg plant.
 Offerings generally were not as heavy at the Monday morning ses- sion of the market as on most mornings last week. Several items sold for higher prices: snap beans, squash, peaches and tomatoes being the most prominent in this list of firmer and higher priced products. A steady and unchanged tone pre- vailed for large share of the oth- CTS. Potatoes were not quite as weak and low priced as Saturday morn- ing, $1.10 per bushel being the low est price at which No. grade Green Mountains sold in the market.
 Snap beans sold from 75 cents to $1.50 per bushel, only few fancy ! for the higher figure, the bulk going for $1.00 to $1.25. Tomatoes were not as liberal and usually went for 40 to 50 cents per basket. Summer squash was scarce and best stock sold for $1.00 per half-bushel. Only few Elberta peaches were in, the best held for SITS per half -bushel, and fair quality stock selling for $125.

New Deal Vs. Old Deal
Candidate Brown Will Take Up State Issues
 After National Ones

Bridgeport, Conn.,, Sept. 30.-CUP)
 Democrats today had the promise of Arthur M. Brown, republican gubernatorial nominee, that he would take up state issues, as they have demanded, "in good time"
 "Our democrats friends" he said at dinner here, have been criti- cizing me and saying have not discussed state issues. There are many issues in the campaign and I shall dwell fully on the state is- sues as the campaign advances.
 Our opponents need have no fear on that score"
 Brown said "the question that the people of Connecticut and the na- ton are interested in more than any other is whether the Roosevelt administration is to be in power an- other four years"
 Gov. Landon," he said, "is the man of the hour. You cannot tall; with him for 10 minutes without be- ing convinced of his sincerity ot purpose, his great ability and the assurance that he knows where he is going and what he is doing.
 "He is not only able to find the faults in the new deal but he L able to point the way out and knows how to apply the remedies"
 The New London county states attorney blasted the new deals rec ord of broken promises, derision of the supreme court, defiance of the constitution and waste and extrava- gance of public funds"
 Other members of the state g. O D. ticket spoke at the gathering sponsored by the Fairfield County Sheriffs' association.

Auditor Hands Checks To All City Employes
Personal Delivery Serves as Check-Up on Recipi-
 ent's Identity

Every employe of the city of Waterbury, exclusive of teachers, today received his or her pay check personally, from an auditor representing the Miller-Franklin Auditing Company of New York. This procedure was taken in con- function with the annual audit of the financial condi- tion of the municipality.
 Personal delivery of every check by member of the auditing firm .verifies the fact that there is no padding" of the payroll or any fic- titious names on the pay roster of the city.
 Similar procedure will be followed next week when the teachers of the city are paid off. Lieutenant Col- onel William J. Shannahan is the paymaster for the school teachers. Next week, when he visits each of the schools with the pay checks, he will be accompanied by an au- ditor of the Miller Franklin Com pany. The checks will be handed over personally by the auditor.
 With the fiscal year of the city gradually reaching close, the New York auditing concern is now study ing the municipal figures and will issue a formal report on the city's financial condidtion early in the spring,

brand new sword which he wore with his uniform, was taken.
 Find Gun
 The revolver was recovered on the person of one of the suspects and sent to the state attorneys office in Vermont by Chief In- spector Joseph P. Stevens of the local detective bureau. Today, however, Captain Stevens receiv- ed a request for information on the whereabouts of the sword, without which the lodge member can no longer attend meetings and will probably lose his good standing.
 Rutland police said the youths told them the sword had been sold "t0 a man who lives in the first house on the right after you pass the parking lot and gas sta tion on skunk Flats"
 Persons residing in the first house on the right after you pass the gas station on Skunk Flats will be questioned by police.

 Union Heads Confab
Desperate Attempt Made to Settle Differences-Mid-
 Night Is Hour Contracts Expire-Shutdown Seen

week under supervision of federal conciliator, Edward F, McGrady, there was little indication that a deadlock in new contract negotia- tions would be broken. A
 It was generally believed that un- less waterfront workers and Seamen and the employers can reconcile diff ferences during today's conference, Pacific ports from Seattle to San Diego face cessation of work.
 The unions last night accepted a proposal of the National Maritime commission that a 60-day truce be made effective beginning tomorrow,
 The employers rejected the pro- posal until guaranteed 1t would lead to definite and permanent settle- ment of the waterfront question.
 With scarcely IS hours remaining until union workers were expected to leave their jobs, McGrady gloom fly indicated that yesterdays meet ing had brought no substantial re- suits. It was believed 12 major diff ferences remain to be settled.
 The employers, through T. G. Plant, chairman of their coast com mittee, wrote a message to the Mari- time commission at Washington in- dicating they believed a truce, with no provisions for ultimate concilia- ton, would be worthless.
 They listed their grievances, and asserted they were paying the high est wages known anywhere.
 'Is it not possible for your com mission to secure agreements to arbi- trate and assurances that services will not be interrupted by violations of agreements?" the employers asked.
 Representatives of the LILA. and the sailors union of the Pacific, the masters, mates and pilots associa- ton, marine engineers, marine fire men and watertenders, radio telegra- phers and marine cooks and stew ards unions agreed to the true.
 These unions, however, regard as lockout" conditions the terms laid down by the employers for working conditions after the contracts have expired tonight.
 Under these terms, the employers would hire men at the docks and dis regard the official union hiring halls.

 The death of Thomas B. Carney of 27 Homer street, Waterville, which took place yesterday at St.. Mary's hospital, removes one of the best known business men ill the Waterville section of the city and one of Waterville's outstanding cit izens.
 MT. Carney was a native of FL mira, N. Y., but had been a resi- dent of Waterbury for many years. More than thirty-eight years ago he established drug business in Wa terville and since that time his stors has been popular meeting place for local people of all walks of life. MT. Carney was one of the most widely-read and best-in- formed men in the community and hia interesting discussions and expressions of opinion always found many ready listeners. He was tremendous force in the moulding of public opinion in Waterville. Dur ing recent years he had been the victim of failing vision which had done much to reduce his activity in community affairs, but during that period his keen mind was even more alert than ever to current events and developments and his power as a brilliant conversation alist and wit continued to draw friends to his corner store.
