Sunburned and stiff, business
men in the Southeast section were
a little slow today in getting
about their business establish

Business Mems Association held
its annual outing at Chapel Point.
The affair was an all-day frolic
the eighth of its kind staged by
the organization and proclaimed
by members and guests as the
best.
Contests of all kinds were
staged, ranging from husband
calling to a beauty contest. All
sorts of foot races were staged,

the stiffness, which the business

LONDON G.N.S0.-The new Ed
ward VIII coinage is not expected
to be in circulation until a few
weeks before the Coronation next

WAR FORECAST
OVER HOUSE
SPEAKER

Rumblings of a bitter House
leadership fight, which is ex-
pected to force violent factional
ouarrels in the next Congress
session echoed through the Capt.
tai today.
Democrats, claiming a certain
House ma jority, agreed a three
cornered battle will rage if they
continue IN control.
Outstanding Democratic candi-
dates are Representatives Sam
Rayburn, of Texas; John j. O'Con'
nor, of New York, and Patrick j.
Boland, of Pennsylvania.
Republicans, foreseeing party
victory, say the race will be be-
tween present Minority Leader
Bertrand H. Smell, of New York,
and Representative Joseph w.
Martin, jr., of Massachusetts,.
Rayburn followers contend he
has the lead in the Democratic
group. He is chairman OF the
Interstate Commerce Committee,
has assisted in the drafting OF
major New Deal legislation and is
chairman of the speakers bureau
of the Democratic national COM
mittee.
Rayburn has served in the
House since the Sixty-third Con-
gress and there have been numer-
Gus reports he has been promised
positions of authority, never to
receive them.
O'Connor, who served as acting
leader after the death Of Speaker
Joseph w. ByrnS and election to
the Speakership of William B.
Bankhead, of Alabama, is chair
man of the Rules Committee.
O'Connor has served since the
Sixty-eighth Congress and conse
uuently is Rayburn's junior in
point of service.
In some quarters it Is reported
that Rayburn has the support OF
the President in his aspirations
for the job. With his connections
in the Democratic committee
Rayburn has opportunities to con
tact his colleagues that are not
afforded O'Connor or Boland.
Boland, now majority whip, has
served since the sixty,Second Con
gress and has surrounded himself
with a host of friends.
Other Democrats who may seek
the post are Representatives
James M. Mead, of New York, and
John w. Mccormack, of MaSsa
chuSetts.

BORROWED MONEY
 MARKET POPULAR
Present Volume for Such Purposes to Continue
 Indefinitely

Prediction that 8 continued "easy money market" was made last night by Robert A. Young, governor of the Boston division of the Federal Reserve Bank, in an address at the Waterbury club before a gathering of 90 members of the Waterbury Clearing House association. Gov- ernor Young, who was brought here by Lewis s. Reed, president of the Citizens and Manufacturers Ma nufacturers National bank of Wat erbury, declared that the present volume of money for borrowing pur- poses will continue for some time Judging from current indications.
 The "easy money market" of course, applies to governmental and municipal borrowing, 1t was pointed out. For example, the city of Water bury a couple of weeks ago sold $i,5O0,O00 worth of WPA relief bonds at the lowest rate of interest in the history of the municipality.
 Fletcher w. JCdson of the Wat erbury National bank, president of the Waterbury Clearing House as- sociation, presided at the large gath- ering and introduced Governor Young. The speaker came to Water bury at the special requesG of Mir. Reed of the Citizens and Manufac- tlirers National bank and devoted his remarks entirely to the question of interest rates on borrowed money. No touch was made on the ques- tion of interest rates on deposits in banks as these rates are now gov erned by federal laws.

 of Historic Event
By JOHN BARR


 This December is the 160th an- niversary of Washington's famous Midnight Crossing of the Dela- ware and surprise attack and capture of the British -Hessian troops at Trenton.
 Fortunately we may read the splendid story in the very words that thrilled the school-children and grown-ups of Waterbury 16O years ago. Of course the men of military age were away in the Continental Army, but the folks at home got the news from their newspaper The Connecticut Journal and the New Haven Post Boy", which was published weekly in New Haven and distributed in Waterbury and vicinity by Thom- as Hickox, Jr., who rode his route horseback.
 The Yale Library possesses a complete bound file of these his toric old newspapers, from which the following accounts are re- printed.
 The first account came in the paper of January l, 1777-just week after the event, viz:
 "New Haven, January 1, 1777.
 "This moment an express arr rived from the westward, with the following interesting intel- ligence, viz: That early on the 26th of December General Washington with about 5000 men crossed the Delaware, and at 6 o'clock In the morning en- gagged the enemy at Trenton, who were about 1900 In number, and in B minutes routed the whole, taking 9l9 prisoners, ex- elusive of killed and wounded, viz: 1 Colonel, 2 Lieut..
