down the valley was unusually
fine. The surroundings were ideal.
The new bridge was constructed
close to the Appleton property.
"The approach to the bridge

RED CROSS FUND
 HERE INCREASED
Raised to $7,50O in Order From Capital-Almost
 at That Figure Now

A telegram received from Cary T.. Grsyson at Red Cross headquarters in Washington at local headquarters today raised the initial quota of $5,0OO here to $7,500. It was also announced at the local office this morning that with the need for re- lief growing hourly, the quota may be raised again tomorrow. Today's contributions, listed at noon, amounted to $667.26, bringing the present total up to $7,024.26, with $476 needed to meet the new quota.
 It is believed that the donations received from larger organizations, however. will put the Waterbury figure well over the $7,500 mark by the close of the day.
 80.O0O Being Aided
 Reports from national headquart- CTS state that 8O,000 families are be- ing aided by the Red Cross in flood areas throughout the nation, more than double the number that had been originally anticipated. This number of families includes some 36936O persons. More than the original $3,000,000 set for relief will be needed and the Red Cross IS fac- ing the most tremendous task that has fallen It's lot in recent years. In Connecticut alone, according to the

 REACH NEW TOTAL

Washington, March 25-(UP)- Treasury statistics indicated today that income tax payments for the current calendar year will be more than $i, 400 100000. of which New York state will pay an estimated one-third.
 The New York proportion will rise about three per cent from last year, 1t was estimated on the basis of receipts at the bureau of inter- nal revenue from March to March 20. when the annual payments be- come heaviest.
 Last fiscal years total payments was $l, ,099. .230,383 as compared to the $l. 400, 100000 estimated for the present calendar year. President Roosevelt this year estimated pay ments for the fiscal year ending next June at $i,434, 100000.

 In surveying this years prospects, 1t was estimated that almost half of the New York state contribution would be by corporations under the present tax structure.

 Over as Speaker POndered

Washington, March 25-(UP)- )-- Congressmen broke all house rules today and clipped in $44 to aid a former world war veteran. his wife and four children who are living in hovel.
 Rep. Auburn c. Dunn, D., Miss, appealed for the aid in floor speech.
 Dunn described the plight of the veteran, Everett Parker, former Tennessee tenant farmer, and his wife, who was unable, Dunn said, to obtain disqualification when having her fourth baby a few days ago. You gentlemen just drop by that 10 by 10 room when you have free moment and you will sec something that will open your eyes on this relief problem" he shout ed. ,-.
 Created Turor Before
 The Parkers, Dunn said, are the family that created furor at the last session of congress, when Mrs. Parker sat in a front row seat Of the gallery nursing her youngest child until the sergeant-at-arms tapped her on the shoulder and led her away.
 Dunn said that Parker, who could neither read nor write, had made the rounds of federal agen- cies seeking jobs and relief but had been denied assistance.
 T talked to one of the relief executives and he told me Parker should go back to his Tennessee farm" he said. T told that execu- tive that he should go back to the farm and get plowed under"
 Nothing But Oatmeal
 Dunn said that the mother and baby had nothing to eat except oatmeal since the baby's birth sev- eral days ago. None of the local hospitals would take the mother in, he said. ...
 Rep. Henry stubbs. d., Cal, shouted:
 MT. Speaker, may be out of order, but 1t won't hurt us to chip in a dollar apiece
 While the speaker pondered the question, congressman passed bills to Stubbs until he had roll. Byrns called Stubbs aside and told him 1t was against rules to take up contributions on the floor. He did not mention anything about a re- fund, however.
