NEWS FOR VELVET
 MAKERS, WEARERS

Neither the women who wear them nor the workers who process them need have any fear of the new process by which velvets are treated with formaldehyde to make the cloth -cruSfable, the state depart ment of health said In it's monthly bulletin.
 The velvet party dress no longer crushes when the wearer sits down. Formaldehyde, a colorless irritant gas, Is made into water solution. The dyed velvet is passed through the solution and then into dryers. Carding rolls work the nap of the velvet forward, backward and tan- gentially, so that when the material is finished the nap will always stand vertically. A final wash re- moves all traces of formaldehyde and the cloth can be worn with perfect safety as well as enjoy ment.
 Inhalation of the formaldehydl gas by the workers in toxic quan- titles causes inflammation of the respiratory passages. It also at. tacks the mucous membranes, par. ticularly of the eyes, and contact with the skin causes skin lesions. The plants in the state which make non-crushable velvet have taken precautions to protect operators from coming in contact with the gas during heating and folding op- erationS previous to the final wash.

New Parties Loom On
 Political Horizon
Merit System Advocates, Labor Units FusiOnists Ex- pected to Take Definite Action Within Near Future

vote against all New England con- gressmen who supported the wages hour bill. The record shows that all Connecticut CongresSmen were among this bills proponents.
 Then, in the event there is a fourth party, members of unions affiliated either with the A. F. of L., or the c. I. O., can be expected to throw whatever support they can acquire during these lean times to party which will promise them favorable legislation in return. The issue of schism in labor ranks makes the two units involved unknown quantities at present, in terms of the major parties, at least.
 FuSiOniSts
 Whether the Merit System group in Waterbury will absorb presently forming Good Government aSsocia- tion during the subsequent months will be major consideration of the Republican party in this section of the state. Certainly, the candidates expected to represent the COP in the Fifth District will have to have such support if they are going to meet the expected split of the last elections Fusion group in Water bury, from which candidate must emerge with almost even showing to guarantee success.

EARLY AMERICANA
 NEW WPAPROJECT
State Librarian Directs Search For Early Books,
 Pamphlets, BrOadsides

Early Americana, in the form of printed in this country prior to 1920, is the object of statewide search by the Early American Im- prints project of the Works Progress Administration. Persons knowing of the location of such material are urged to communicate with James Brewster, State Librarian, Hartford, who is the sponsor of the project, or with Norbert B. Lacy, state director of the Historical Records Survey, 82 Audubon street, New Haven.
 Data Desired
 Similar projects are working in other states, the whole program being directed by Douglas c. Mo- Murtrie, of Chicago, in close CO., operation with the Historical Records Survey, one of the federal Works Progress Administration pro- jects. Information gathered in Con- necticut will be forwarded to Chi cago, there to be consolidated with | I1lhtC1ldl 41O1IA OVl1CA S0dtCo oA1N eventually made up into great catalog of early American imprints. When complete the material will probably be offered to the Library of Congress for the use of historians librarians, scholars and bibliophiles.
 Share Knowledge
 In this state it is especially desired to record early pamphlets and printed documents bearing on local activities, knowledge of which has not spread beyond the local com- nunities. While several lists of such materials have already been published, it has never been possible to thoroughly comb through even the larger repositories of such im- prints and the smaller ones have scarcely been touched. Hence the initiation of this statewide WPA project through which an exhaust i've search will be made. Every ef- bort will be made to examine the catalogs of all libraries and his ktorical institutions of Connecticut as well as of private collections.

New York, February IT. - A drive against bingo and other gambling devices within the churches and against outside legalized lotteries and pari-mutuel betting is proceed ing in many parts of the country.
 Most recent and strongest attack against gambling in churches was made by Bishop George Craig Stew art of the Chicago Episcopal Diocese who barred gambling ill all parishes under his jurisdiction, condemning such practices as a "cancerous in- vasion of our social vigor and health"
 In Brooklyn, New York, Rev. F. w. Often, Evangelical Lutheran pastor, was named chairman of continuing committee to organize permanent conference for the suppression of gambling in Kings County. Earlier at the conference, called for the suppression of gambling, Dr. L. w.. Barnard, president of Evangel Col lege and Theological Seminary of Newark, said that churches sponsor ing gambling are mo more worthy of tax exemptio4l than any other gambling establishment"
 The Bishops of Albany. Milwau- kee, St. Louis and Belleville have already officially bapned bingo and other games of chance within their dioceseS.
 The nineteenth annual Ohio Pas tors Convention passed a resolution condemning bank nights in movies and expressing criticism of church fund-raising efforts based upon rallies, punchboards and bingo games.
 Sentiment of many churchmen toward gambling was expressed by the Rt. Rev. Benjamin Brewster,

SWISS BARTER ! WITH COUPONS
 TO SPUR TRADE
Muscle Standard Is Base For System as Cash
 Is Lacking
By REYNOLDS PACKARD United Press Staff Correspondent

tfN fNOMABSu IEGSS OS8iA SVHACoPOhucAAsI
 Geneva, Feb. 17.-(UP(-Several thousand merchants, tradesmen and professional workers are try ing to stimulate trade in Switzer- land today by the use of barter coupons, based on the Muscle Standard" as a substitute for money.
 Known as the Bon Troc, these { coupons enable people with skill, muscle or merchandise, to do a good business with other people who have skill, muscle or mer- chandise, but not much money to spend. It is the old system of bar ter revised so that the dentist can barter with the shoemaker without necessarily having to plug the shoemaker's teeth. X In an interview with the United Press, Paul Finsterwald, owner of a. stationery shop and 8 director of Z the Bon Troc association of Geneva, explained the system and sold this correspondent barter coupon TOT S5 Swiss centimes.
 N Need Not Be Member
 "Even though you aren't mem Der of the association" Flnster- : wald said, you can get one SWISS < francs worth of muscle, skill or merchandise from one of our members. As you see, 1t is inter ' changeable for cash, of which 2 most of us are short, at loss o1 e 1s continues worth of skill, muscle or merchandise.
 ? The idea is simple. I have mer- chandise, the dentist has skill, the s laborer has muscle and we are all short of money, How can we ex- change all these different values? Direct barter not being general enough the / upon principle was :. evolved. The dentist, for example, goes to the cobbler for a halt- Soling and pays with coupon. The cobbler. not wanting dentai treatment, can use the coupon 10 obtain trout from the fish monger. $ Somebody who finally gets the - coupon will go to the dentist to have a tooth pulled.
 Tn Geneva, we have a slightly ' different coupon from those in circulation ill other parts of ' Switzerland" Finsterwald explain ed. Here, possessors of coupons must take them to our office and pay 1 per cent tax on them at the end of each month. This little tax ;. encourages spending as nobody wants to get caught with a l per cent loss each month.
 T Check oa Hoarding
 sTo prevent hoarding, these coupons expire at the end of every year, but can be renewed for new V coupons for the ensuing year. This system is really of a socialist cauitalist character. It is capitalist in as much as it encourages trade and individual commercial enter prise and socialistic in its aim to create general good for the com munity without the use of money.
 He said there are $50 members of the association in Geneva; 300 in Lausanne and 5000 in Zurich making a total of 5,650 members throughout Switzerland. The or .ganization in Zurich was organ ized in 1884, the one in Lausanne in 1885 and the one in Geneva in 1936. This year the three organ izations are working out an ex- change Of barter coupons so that those in Geneva can do business with stores in Lausanne and zu- vich.

Prospect of two new parties in the field of the fall elections loomed to- day as political observers took note of the conditions seeking maturity through the ensuing several months. There was probability that Union party, comprised by various labor groups, would enlarge from its be- ginning at New Haven.
 There was possibility that another party might result from combina- ton of Merit System enthusiasts and various organizations they may solicit to backing their candidates in the state election fight. This would follow the order oS the Tax payers Party now claiming large membership in New York city, with 100000 claimed for Brooklyn alone.
 N. Y. Displeased
 In spite of the reelection of Mayor Fiorello H. LaGuardia last fall, there apparently exists less than the former approval of his Ire form" government by the reform ers", in 8 manner of speaking. Or so the large membership of the Taxpayers Party would indicate and it's slogan, economy in gov- ernment", would bear out.
 The makeup of this party is said to be mainly small business men and attorneys, with an insurance man heading the Brooklyn group. They will seek, it is announced, to reduce the city taxes 25 per cent and will work for various reforms, one the proposal to double the city's share of receipts from the gasoline tax, another limiting retirement pen- sions to $5,O0O, and yet another, the discontinuing of making large ap- propriations for investigations"
 Labor Divided
 In Connecticut there is the prob ability of division between labor and both major parties because of sev- eral developments of recent months. One such development is the man. date of President William Green of the American Federation of Labor that members of affiliated unions

Many Churches Push
 Anti Gambling Drive
Campaign Against Bngo Proceeding in Many Parts oi
 Country-Bishops Express Sentiment

Episcopal Bishop of Maine, in a pastoral letter saying:
 There is today in many quarters a marked tendency toward gambling, which should be a matter of deep concern to Christian people, and for any church to have such games of chance as beano, especially when publicly advertised, is to contribute tc some degree to the gambling spirit. I now, therefore, with all the authority which a bishop can com- mand, declare that such games as beano for raising money for the church, are prohibited in this dio- cese."
 Campaigns against gambling out side of churches were being under taken by church groups in Miami, Providence, New Orleans, Milwau- kee, Lincoln, Neb., and other cities.
