Name of Theresa DeVicO Placed on Danger List;
 Hit By Automobile

Injured last night when she was struck by car on Bishop street, a 7-year old girl remained on the danger list at Waterbury hospital today while police conducted a thor ough investigation of the accident. The child, Theresa DeVico, 8, daugh- ter of Vincent DeVico, of IT Bishop street, suffered a fractured skull, decorations of the scalp and leg bruises.
 According to the report filed at police headquarters by Clair Moody, of 915 North Main street, driver of the car, the little girl ran out in the street and into his rear fender.

COL. COERINC IS
 GIVEN NEW JOB

Berlin, April 28-(UP)-Import- ant changes in fiscal policy may follow the appointment of Colleen. Hermann Goering as director of all matters concerning raw materials and foreign currencies, 1t was re- ported today. First reaction to the appointment was that it meant a severe setback for pr. Hjalmar Schacht, president of the Reichs- bank and minister of economies, a banker of world repute and regard ed as the strongest economic fig ure in the country
 Now, however, the possibility Is suggested that the move is destined to check radical Nazi propaganda urging the abandonment of Shacht's foreign exchange policy. and thus far from weakening Schacht's po- sition may strengthen it. Goering has been considered a conservative among Nazi leaders opposed to many demands of the radicals.

Although no definite action has been taken in the matter, for none of the others present at yesterdays session in Hartford ventured any opinion in connection with a sales tax, the mention of such a proposal may set opposing factions in the state into their usual controversy over the advisability of such a measure.
 FavOrS Relief Grants
 All of the workers assembled at yesterdays hearing were definitely in favor of relief grants being given to towns and cities in the state by the state itself. AS to where the money would come from, those pres- ent hesitated to venture any opin- ions. Miss Little proposed that the state should share in relief burdens of towns and cities, strongly urging the payment by the state of 8 per- centage of relief costs, not lower than a third and not greater than one-half. She also proposed that present relief officials remain in charge of administration, with local advisory committee which the state would have share in naming.
 It is interesting to note that the state secretary's plan is modelled on the EZRA program. The solution of the present problem of the ap- parent cumbersome settlement laws and inadequate relief funds, how ever, strikes a snag in the matter of raising funds. John H. King of Willimantic stated that the question of where the money was to come from would be asked by the general assembly and might prove the down. fall of the commissions plan, If the state grants are recommended.
 Funds Needed
 An idea of the expenditure in- volved may be gathered from re- port of Dr. Charles G. Chakerain, commission secretary and consult ant, who gave the information that the towns and cities are now spend- ing about 12 million dollars annually for relief and the state about three million. If the load is not increased and the state assumes half the bur- den of the local communities, MT. King suggested, somebody must find no less than 4 1-2 million dollars to finance the plan.

KIDNAPERS WERE
 TO BE INDICTED

New York, April 28.-(UP)-Dis- trict Atty. William F. x. Geoghan indicated today that the Kings county grand jury would indict four or more persons this afternoon in connection with the Kidnapping of Paul H. Wendell and saidw he ex- pected another "very important de- velopment." He would not deny rumors that Harry Weiss, one of five men already indicted for kid naping and assaulting Wendell, had offered through a former magis- trate to surrender and give state evidence if assured of "considera- tion".
 Another unconfirmed rumor with a flavor of authenticity said that Ellis H. Parker, Jr, son of the Bur- lington County, N. J., chief of de- tectives and friend of New Jersey Governor Harold G. Hoffman, had proposed through southern New Jersey justice of the peace to sur render there if granted release under $2O,000 bail.
 Geoghan conferred several hours with Attorney General David T. Wilentz of New Jersey. IL was after that meeting that he revealed his expectation of an "im- portant development.

COOLIDGE CRADLE
 TAKEN FROM SALE

Northampton, Mass, April 28.- (UP)-A cradle fashioned by Cal- win Coolidge's father and possibly the one in which the late president was rocked as a baby was with drawn today from the Coolidge auc- tion May 2. Unable to verify whether MT. Coolidge ever was rocked in the cradle, Auctioneer George H. Bean decided not to place it under the hammer.
 T do not want patrons of the auction who might live at distance from Northampton to be disap- pointed, to say nothing of the ex- pense to which they might be put should they attend the sale," Bean said. "Nor do I want the cradle to fall into the hands of some un- scrupulous person who might pass it off on the strength of published stories." Still on sale, however, are furnishings used by the Coolidges in the White House and at their Massasoit-street duplex house and the Beeches estate here. Bean today mailed printed invitations to those interested in the auction. The sale will be held in Mith school arena Accompanying each article sold will be a certificate guaranteeing its authenticity.

Brings New Revenue
 To City And Lowers
 Taxes, Claim Owners
gested Traffic Areas-FartfOrd Considering In- staIIatiOn-TriaI Planned If Approval Given

A parking meter system similar to that which gained nation wide publicity for Oklahoma City, where it was first introduced, is being considered by the police board and will probably be discussed at the meeting of the commission a week from tomorrow, 1t was disclosed at police headquarters today. Repre- sentatives of the Parking Timer Company, of Cincinnati, Ohio, which installs the meters, have al- ready discussed the plan with the boards traffic committee, which in- cludes Commissioner Michael Noon- an, chairman, and Commissioner Carl Olson, Patrick Perriello, and Harry Minor.
 No Cost To City
 AS explained by Commissioner Minor, chairman of the police board and Police Superintendent William J. Roach, the system is installed without cost to the city. The only provision made by the company is that the meters be kept at least eight months. Revenue amounting to $68 from each machine goes to the manufacturers to pay for the cost of installation. After that, 1t was explained, the machines belong to the city outright and the revenue derived goes entirely to the city treasury.
 Proponents of the parking meter plan, which is also under consider ation at Hartford and other cities, point out that it brings new reve- nue to the city, helps reduce taxes and increases trade in ordinarily congested shopping areas. The me- ters, it is claimed, prevent all-day parking on city streets, and place the down town parking problem on a legal and mechanical basis, re- lieving the police officer.
 It is pointed out further that the meters give all proper space to park; make the all-day parker put his car in a parking lot; and aid in large measure to pay the cost of the po- lice department.
 A La Slot Machines
 The timers, as pictured in liter ature sent to local authorities by the manufacturers, are somewhat similar in appearance to an ordin- ary penny scale or gum machine. They may be regulated at will, and in the event that they are used in Waterbury, will probably as to the amount charged, depending upon the areas in which they are placed.
 Commissioner Minor and Super intendent Roach point out that parking in the more congested dis tricts, as is the case now, will con- tinue to be restricted and 8 higher price will be exacted of parkers in these areas.
 After parking his car at the curb, the driver drops the required amount of money in the slot, de- pending upon the time he wishes to stay. If the meter calls for half hour parking at 5 cents, he may drop in a dime and leave the ma chine for an hour. If at the end of that time, he has not driven the car away, 8 red flag automatically goes up on the meter and he may be ticketed by the officer on the beat. The meters are placed all along the curb, approximately car lengths apart.
 Trials Planned
 Authorities stated this morning that if the plan is approved for use locally, it will be given a trial first in one of the busy downtown dis tricts. If 1t proves successful, it may then be installed throughout the city.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-04-28
