Receiuer Is Asked For Sin1onsuiHe Mfg. Co.
Through Litigation Failure of General Manager, His Assistant-May Dissolve Corporation

Claiming that the assets of the SimonSville Manufacturing Com pany are in danger of waste through litigation and failure of the general manager and his assistant to make financial progress, two stockholders today petitioned superior court for an order to appoint receiver to wind up the corporations affairs, and dissolve the corporation.
 The petitioners are Minnie and Pauline Perrault, who claim to be holders of IA shares of stock in the corporation. The company is located at the corner of Baldwin street and Pearl Lake road, and is in the bus mess of manufacturing small metal articles.
 Special Grievance
 Special grievance is expressed by the petitioners in regard to the sal- aries of George A. Carney and AL fred J. Meier, who are named de- fendants in the litigation. Carney is president, superintendent and gen. eral manager of the company; Meier, his son-in-law, is his assist ant. Carney is sai dto own 2-3 of the capital stock and Meier owns one share of capital stock. Other mem berS of the Carney and Meier fam lilies also hold shares of stock, and they are the principal members of the directorate of the corporation.
 High Salaries Paid
 The petitioners claim that in spite of the fact that the total pro- fit of the business last year was only $l,O00 and the company Is indebted to local bank, Carney was voted a salary of $5,20O for his services last year, and Meier was given a raise to $6O weekly. Formerly he received $50. It is alleged by the petitioners that these payments are due to col fusion by other members of the di- rectorate. The payments are termed ''gross mismanagement."
 In addition to the dissolution of the firm, the plaintiffs seek damages of $5,000. The suit was filed by the law firm, Bronson, Lewis, Bronson and Upson.

 TO MEET SOON
Mayor Hayes Calls Special Session to Care for
 Some Problems

A special meeting of the board of finance, predicted to be one of the most important sessions of that commission in considerable time, was called by Mayor Frank Hayes today for 3 o'clock Monday. after noon.
 The mayor had received no re- quest from any commissioner for the special meeting but decided that the condition of city business trans actions warranted his action, as chairman. Also, the mayor has re- ceived ruling from Corporation Counsel Charles S. O'Connor on the motion by Commissioner John H. Goss which involves the question of whether the charter section pro- viding for payment of any city deficit out of back tax receipts re- ceived in the current year until May l, would apply in the event such a deficit is found currently.
 Contention Came Up
 This contention was made at the last meeting, on the eve of the entry of the states attorneys office into the investigation of Controller Sherwood L. Rowland's office affairs, the latter presenting several com munications to the board as recom- mendationS for action designed to

Faced with the handicap of go ing through the rest of life minus his left foot, Howard Salisbury o1 Middlebury today filed suit to re- cover $50,0O0 damages from the man whose negligence is allegedly re- sponSible for the accident which led to the undesirable circumstances.
 The suit was filed against Julian G. Gates, secretary-treasurer Of the Waterbury Tool Company, and is returnable to tl.e superior court, the first Tuesday in March. At torney J. Gregory Lynch represents the plaintiff.
 On State Street
 Salisbury claims that he was struck by Gates car, as he rode his motorcycle on State street, August 16. Since then he has spent several months in the Waterbury hospital, and undergone three operations, in- cluding one on December 6, n which his foot was amputated.
 The complaint sets up that Sails bury was riding his cycle westerly on Grand street, August 16; and Gates was driving his automobile easterly on the same thoroughfare, at II p, m.

The Board of Aldermen, after a meeting Febru- ary 2, which developed considerable controversy between Republican and Democratic members, voted to rec ommend that $4O00 appropriated under printing schedule in the bud- get for the registrars office, be transferred to personal services to allow a complete canvass of all voters in Waterbury.
 Bane's Motion Illegal
 The motion, originally given to City Clerk John P. Fitzmaurice to read, wound up in the hands of Re- publican Alderman Thomas P. Bane, who presented the Republi- can proposal in form which was found to be illegal; to wit, his orig iral motion called for transfer Of the money in the registrars office and then submission for approval of the change to the finance board.
 Alderman Kelly Doubted It
 Alderman Thomas P. Kelly, execu- tive secretary, remarked at the time that he doubted whether the regis trars had power under the charter to act as the motion directed, this, after the Republican legislation was put into proper form for a vote which resulted in all except Alder man Charles P. Sciullo voting for the measure. All other Democratic members joined the Republicans in the final vote after 8 division earlier which had found the Republican aldermanic president. Patrick M.

Monarchists, Jews, Cath- Olics Are Only Hopeful

 Vienna, February 19. - (UP) = Charles M. Palairet, British minister to Austria, visited Foreign Minister Gui- do Schmidt today and was understood to have assured him of Great Britain'S con- tinued interest in Austria's independence. Underground, there was a rumble of dis content among members of the governmental fatherland front, peasants and workers. But there was no sign that there would be clashes tomorrow when the Nazis celebrated the speech of Austrian born Hitler and the release of their martyrs" from prison. Jews sat today around their Sabbath candles, praying and recalling prosecutions their people had survived in olden times. Some thought darkly of the days of APO, when half Vienna's Jews were massacred and the other half, despoiled, were driven from the country.
 MonarchistS regarding the Nazi victory as defeat for their hopes, were divided as to the outlook for the future. A large part of them 1 felt there was no hope. Others were encouraged by an order issued by Guido Zernatto, deputy leader of the Fatherland front and Minis ter without portfolio in the cab- met, that all monarchist propagan- da meetings could be held accord ing to schedule, and that police would protect them from molesta- ton.
 The monarcllists waited to see whether Dr. Arthur Won SeysSin- quart, Na1 minister of interior and public security, would modify or rescind this order on his return this morning from Berlin.
 A split was threatened in the monarchist ranks. It was expected that, as a matter of expediency, those of Archduke Otto Won Haps- burg's supporters who are Jews would be pushed into the back
