of the banks and the imminent paralysis of the movement of goods, both agricultural and manufactured.
 Action Necessary
 "Decisive action was necessary by putting the machinery of trade back in motion through assistance to banks, manufacturers, railroads, home and farm owners.
 "It was equally necessary to put back on their feet those who had been thrown out of employment in production and distribution, both to relieve distress and to increase the demand for goods, thereby stimulate ing business and creating jobs.
 ''In contrast to the paralysis of thought and action of the Hoover administration, action was irili11e- diate and decisive under Roosevelt.
 "Reflnancing through government agencies started again the flow of goods. Relief employment and farm relief put back on their feet mil- lions of men and women, increasing the demand for goods and bringing business of all kinds forward.
 Heavy expenditures by tho fed- eral government, the only agency able to raise the necessary funds, were essential. both for loans and for relief and public works. Tn three years the net increase in the public debt was approximately 7h billion dollars.
 "The recovery based on these ex- penditureS has increased tho t1a- tional income over twenty billions of dollars yearly. It has restored values of securities to the amount of 100 billions. Cne-tenth of that amount would pay oil the incfease in debt during this administration and would make Q start on paying of the Hoover deficit.
 "Even if we include in the debt that part represented by recoverable assets, such as loans by the R. F. O., and all contingent liabilities such as HOLC bonds the per capita in-

GREEN TO ATTEND
 SAFETY SESSION
State Director Invited to Chicago Confab; Lead.
 ership Recognized

William M. Greene, director of safety education at the state depart ment of motor vehicles, has been invited by Sidney J. Williams, 'direc- tor of the public safety division of the National Safety Council, to at- tend Q conference of state safety directors in Chicago on Thursday and Friday, September sand {.
 Approximately 20 states will be represented at this conference which will discuss the planning of & state program of safety activities, the setting up of state safety or. ganiSation, the planning and con- ducting of state safety conferences, the organization of county safety councils or committees, methods of statewide accident reporting and setting up of legislative programs, the conduct of traftic surveys of carrying scopes and the value of police training in comprehensive consistent statewide movements to achieve greateer safety on streets and highways.
 Connecticut this year is one of the few states to be represented 100 -per cent in the 1936 National Trafflc Safety Contest. The only other state in New England to achieve this distinction Is New Hampshire, which has @ compara- lively small total of communities eligible. Connecticut has 26 cities and towns entered in the contest with responsible local officials in each case supervising the enforce ment, educational and engineering details embracced in the contest. Commissioner Connor received Q letter recently from the National safety counciling commenting the state department of motor vehicles for it's success in interesting all eligible cities in the state in this nationwide drive to reduce trafiic accidents.
 Leadership
 Because of Connecticut's recog- nized leadership in the promotion of street and highway safety, extend- ing back to the origin of this move- ment shortly after the World War. the National Safety council execu- tives informed Commissioner Con- nor of the desire to have Connecti- cut represented at this conference of state safety directors. AS of Sat- urday Connecticut's fatality total of 246 was 5l less than a year ago the same date, a decrease of approxi- mately 17 per cent, one of the out- standing records of any state in the country for a period almost two-thirds of the year.

all the rest of the Armament to spin around it. So, too, we local demo- crats should have learned 1t in this last nigh on to twenty years. Our chairman has been throughout that long period John Crary and because he has realized at all times that we cannot be personal nor selfish in the political ambitions, because he has realized that the individual must suffer for the weakness of the many he has built up a closely knitted and easily coordlnated machine that does those many little things that those on the outside fail to realize.
 "And as the sun casts its light and warmth upon all the other things in the Armament so, too, we have felt nothing in these twenty years of MT. Crary but the light of success and the warmth of political prosperity"
 Smiths Address
 ConRreSSman Smiths address to the congressional convention, was as follows:
 "'The vitality of business this summer has amazed even the most sanguine. The anticipated summer slump proved 8 complete washout. This statement heads the article on the business outlook in this weeks Business Week. Nobody accuses Business Week of being pro admin istration, yet its pages are damned with facts that show the success of the recovery program of Presi- dent Roosevelt.
 Passenger car sales up 27eS over the first six months of last year. Commercial car sales up 26%, household refrigerators 30sS, cheeks drawn up 16%, farm income up l2%, electric power output up 139o, heavy construction up 7l%, steel mills orders taxing capacity, new mills being built, locomotives and rolling stock orders increasing.
 Tt IS @ vastly different picture from that of March 1883, when Pres- ident Roosevelt took office. The country was then in state of col lapse. Banks were falling, factories were idle. agriculture was unable to market its products, the railroads were facing ruin.

crease amounts to $120, the interest increase less than 8 a year.
 National Income
 "On the other side of the ledger we have an increase of yearly na- tional income of $l90 per capita.
 "Under Hoover, the national debt increased some seven billions, and our means to pay 1t were fast dis appearing.
 gro day we are solvent again, able to meet expenses and pay of our debts.
 eThe returns from our expendi. lures are more than mere figures. They include the security and hap- piness of millions who have found employment whose homes and farms have been saved, whose children have been able to continue their education, whose savings have been made secure, who have been made safe from exploitation by stock Swindlers.
 "our opponents attack the expen- allure of money but they fail to point out where they would cut 1t down. They know that 1t hes been necessary and that the returns have been worth many times the cost.
 "They dare not come out in the open and argue against the setting up of old age pensions, the protec- ton of bank deposits, the regulation of the securities markets, and the other humanitarian acts which have been placed on our statute books by the Roosevelt administration.
 No Illusions
 The people of this country are under no illusions as to the success of these reforms If they are turned over to the administration of the republican party, @ party which for so long Q period ignored the crying need for them.
 Much has been accomplished in the fields of recovery and social security. But the job is only partly done. The administration which has had the courage and the leadership to bring the country from bank ruptcy to solvency, from despair to hope, can and will 90 forward in the attack on our problems, confident of the support of the vast majority of our people,"

Thousands of milk consumers in Waterbury received notices with their regular delivery today inforni- ing them that the cost of milk had gone up one cent quart. The price advance became effective to7 day and is largely the result of the big dealers promise to pay practi- cally similar increase per quart to the producers. The wholesalers began paying the increased rate to the producers today, also.
 Tn other words, those who take 6 quart of milk daily in Waterbury will have seven cents more to pay 6 week hence. Those who take two quarts will experience 6 14.cent jump in their weekly bills.
