j. AUTO TAX
IS BOOSTED 700
MILLION MORE
Federal Tax Is In Addition
To State, Local Levy
On Cars

C1IAPJOTTE, July 19.-Pass-
oon Inv congress of bill extend
ing the Federal automotiVe excise
taxes for two years means that
motorists now face the prospect
of digging down into their pocket
hooks to the tune of S7OO,OOO,-
600 in special motor taxes in adj.
dition to the amounts now PAID
to state and local government.
This statement was made today
by Coleman w. Roberts, president
Of the Carolina Motor club, who
declared that these federal auto
taxes, which were born of emer-
gency are being continued IN ex-
pediency. ..e.
There is absolutely no justin.
cation for the continuation OF
these levics," Mr.. Roberts charg-
ed. "Motorists submitted to the
bureau in time of national crl-
sis on the definite promise that
the taxes were purely temporary
and would be removed as soon as
the emergency was past.
"Why have these motor taxes
been continued for two years
rather than for one? The answer
is obvious: Our statesmen on
Capitol Hill realize that 1898 is
an election year and they are
anxious to avoid the necessity OF
facing the public wrath that
would visit them if they were to
rc-enact the nuisance taxes on
the eve of election. ,,
apparently their hope is that
the motorists will forget but |
personally do not believe their
homes are well founded. The
practice of using the motorist as
y sort of revenue grab-bag is
building UP reservoir of resent
ment that BODIES i'll for the legis-
lators who have been prone to
regard the car owner as an easy
mark.
"The promise made that the
federal excise taxes would be only
temporary was clear-cut and de-
finite. The Carolina Motor club
and AAA affiliates are unanim-
Gus in insisting that this promise
be carried out. They will con-
t;nue to campaign for repeal of
these taxes not only because of
the promise made but also be-
cause the demands of justice and
fair play for Americas car own
ing millions call for the abolition
of these nuisance levies."

REV. MARION T. KARwACK1 CAPACITY CROWD
 AT POLISH FETE
Hartford Church Marks 35th Anniversary
 Last Night

Hartford, April 6.-With all the color, robustness and vivacity of their nationality, 800 persons of Polish descent last night packed to the very doors their National Home on Governor street to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the founding of the Sts. Cyril and Methodius par ish.
 Festive boards, music and danc- ing, gay gowns and gayer cele- brants and brief, frequently witty speeches, kept spirits at high pitch.
 Praise from Mayor Spellacy, who left the sick bed of his brother, Martin Spellacy, to attend for few minutes, added the final touch to the evening.
 Interspersed with the speeches from clergymen throughout Connec- ticut was varied entertainment. The boys from the seventh and eighth grades of the St. Cyril school pre- sented 8 tramp gig. Dressed back wards in old suits, battered hats and bemustached masks, they danced with their backs to the audience. Later girls from the sixth and seventh grades dressed in scarlet skirts and white sweaters tapped out Polish folk dances with their pat ent leather slippers and Miss Anna Kus danced the Mazurka in peasant blouse and skirt.
 Greatest laughter was elicted by the comedy boxing team of Walter Shorty" GwozdZ, Bernard Benny" Niemczyk and Joseph Wilkes, who in fantastic costumes presented a pugilistic farce in which the referee received the severest beating.
 Tone of the entire banquet and modern dancing, which followed or raniezd acts was set by the Tar nowSka Radio orchestra that swung into the lively Polish March "Pil- sudzkicgo" for it's first number. Dur ing the dinner Frank Coskey whis- tied through several selections with the orchestra.
 Busiest man of the evening was 1OdSLII1coVCl TAoAh Os coS1OAShAS welfare commissioner, who, when into introducing the speakers and inserting few jokes of his own making, was playing the piano for dances and announcing various pre- sentations.
 Among those at the speakers table were Rev. Lucyan Bojnowski of New Britain, Rev. Stephen Nale- walk of Union City, Rev Theophilus Kotowski of Moodus, Rev, Stanila,ls Federkiewicz of Thompsonyille, Rev John Wladasz of Stamford, Rev. John Kowalski of Torrington. for mer Hartford curate and principal speaker, Rev. John Wodarski of Put nam, Rev. Stanilaus Musiel, pastor of the church, Rev. Peter Sroka of Terryville, Rev. Walter Nowakski of Wallingford, Rev. Walter Sieracki of Waterbury, Rev. Stephen Bartkow- ski of New Britain, Edward Yed- ziniak, Walter Popielarczyk, Frank Coskey, Dr. John Kardys, Dr. John Obuchowski, Atty. Walter Sidor, Dr w. H. Chotkowski, Edward Yedzi- niask and Father Kowalczyk of New Britain. s4
 Also present and active att he affair were Rev. John M. Balasa and Rev. Marion T. Karwacki. as- sistant pastors of the St. Cyril parish.

Major B. H. Van Buren, selecting agent for the eco, will be in Wa terbury on Friday afternoon from one until three o'clock at the alder manic chambers in the city hall to interview local experienced men, it was announced this morning at the local department of welfare office.
 So far there have been only three applications for such positions in the eco during the present en- rollment period and it is not ex- pected that there will be many more applying for interviews as local experienced men. Welfare de- partment officials give increased employment facilities in Waterbury during the past few months as the main reason for the lack of exper- fenced men.
 Names Received
 Tn connection with the eco en- rollment, it was also stated at the department of welfare office today that there have been 26 names of Junior CCC applicants received at the local office and sent on to New Haven. No report has been received as yet in connection with the num- Der of boys who have qualified for final examinations.
 Major General Fox Connor, com- manding general of the First Corps (New EnglanO area, announced to- day that the program of expanded
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-04-06

dental services inaugurated in 127 eco companies in December of 1886 "has more than justified itself" This announcement is based on re- ports received this morning from Reserve Corps medical and other officers on duty in New England eco camps during the eighth en- rollment period, which ends today.
 Dental Program
 The dental program in question provides for visits, twice yearly, of two weeks duration, by a dental team comprising Reserve Dental officer and two assistants, with au- thorization to examine all enrollees in the camp for dental defects, to fill cavities, and to administer emer- gency remedial treatment. The as- sistants are especially qualified en- rollees, one of whom acts as den- tist's nurse and the other as orderly. The First Corps Area has ten such teams at work, with the result that ten additional Dental Reserve Corps officers are now on duty with the New England CCC. Heretofore, the enrollees' dental health has largely been handled by local civilian den- tists on a regular fee basis.
