the percentage figures quoted me
b. different manufacturers.
This confirms what has re-
peatedly been said in this column
that there is no dearth of savings
in this country, that withholding
of purchasing has been caused by
uncertainty. especially by uncer-
tainty over how was h n 8 o n
might behave.
LESS APPREHENSION
Last weeks elections manifest
" have modified apprehension on
this score. Not only are con-
sumers loosening up, but response
bic businessmen feel justified in
acting less cautiously.
Leaders in no other industry are
exhibiting more eagerness to treat
labor properly.
It will be recalled that the date
of the annual auto shows was
moved up from January to Novem-
Der in order to level out employ
ment, to prod more buying to keep
plants going during winter months.
The example now set by Gen
eral Motors in guaranteeing
throughout the whole year a GER
tain per cent of wages to regular
enployes-up to so per cent for
those of five years service-has
become the foremost subject Of
discussion among motor men. 1t
Is hailed as another and highly
important step towards stabilizing
employment. towards removing I'm.
certainty, towards inspiring 10y

A STEADY JOB
After all, the dominating desire
of every worker is steady employ
ment. What regular payment of
interest Is to bondholderS and
regular payment Of dividends is to

is to wage-earners: even more so,
since wage-earners usually are de-
pendent solely upon their jobs for
the daily bread of themselves and
their families. whereas, investors
often have other sources of in
come.
The probability-and certainly,
the hope-is that other leading
automobile arrangements will
strive to evolve plans calculated
to assure steadier employment.
Heads OF corporations in other
fields could also advantageously
take note Of the example set By
General Motors.
As . matter Of fact, nothing
would do more to enhance the
popularity Of industry than the
widespread adoption, wherever
feasible, Of some arrangement

and got in touch with "The Great Gilbert"
 Although she did not expect her baby for six months, the tall gray haired Gilbert said she would need series of hypnotic rehearsals, to continue at regular intervals until her child was born.
 "The Great Gilbert" went to the Colombos home last Friday. Colom- bos left with his 17-month-old daughter, Zoe, and walked in the park for two hours. When he re- turned, his wife was dead, Gilbert was gone, and the window was open. After questioning Gilbert, police quoted him as saying:
 q had gone into the room and locked the door to prepare the treatment. I had been there only a few minutes when saw that she was unconscious. tried to awaken her and then I saw that she was dead.
 T got scared and jumped out the window. I was scared to say l was there"

Representing Alderman Thomas p. Kelly He Is Determined to Fight SEVERAL WITNESSES
 MAY BE CALLED IN Judge Inglis to Decide on Date for Hearing PrOb=
 ably Today

Quo warranto proceedings of Alderman Thomas P. Kelly, which attacked the appointment of Special Pros ecutor Hugh M. Alcorn to the local Investigation, will be tried on their merits, ac- cording to a statement by Attorney Thomas F. McDon- ough today. Last week the issues of the proceedings to date were decided in favor of Alcorn when Judge Ernest A. h. glis,q sustained his answer to the quo warranto.
 Attorney McDonough today filed a reply to MT. Alcorn's answer, and this means that the case will now be heard on its merits as well as on the law involved. Attorney McDon- onugi1 said that unless he and MT. Alcorn can agree on stipulation of facts concerning the appointment, It will be necessary for him to call several witnesses.
 Judge Inglis is expected to set down a time for hearing on the quo Warranto merits before the comple- tion of court today. The new hear ing may be a preliminary to an appeal to the supreme court of errors but Attorney McDonough did not comment on this possibility today. The answer, as filed today, simply denies that Alcorn has the right to proceed as special prosecutor in the local investigation.

SEN. WALSH HITS
 AT COMMUNISTS
Apostles of Destruction" Swarm Throughout Na=
 ton Is His Charge

Boston, July 5-CUP) )-Commu- nistic apostles of destruction swarm throughout the nation, spreading propaganda from l500 centers to 3,OO0,0OO to 1000 900 bor- derline reds" according to U. S. Senator David I. Walsh, d., Mass.
 Their propaganda is carried on with inSidious penetration into schools, colleges, labor societies, civic and fraternal units, business marts, youth centers and, said to relate, in some religious bodies, Walsh said in the annual Inde- pendence day oration at Faneuil hall.
 He described as "the main three types" of communists:
 1.-The intellectualS, "a group of keen-minded men college graduates and university professors (Who) know the tactics of argu- mentation so well that the average person would be at serious diSad- vantage engaging in controversy with them"
 2. Active party members. "nu- merically insignificant, but vocally strenuous who work from 1900 communistic centers in the United States, who edit and distribute the 300 newspapers and magazines, who promote the mass meetings and or ganize workers"
 3.-Border-line communists total ing 3,000,00O to 100000, many Of whom are not even citizens, all Of whom are said to need but little impetus to become active members willing to resort to violence"

Will Be Different From That Contained in "A
 Page Jury Report
FICTITIOUS NAMES ARE
 SIGNED TO CHECKS
Brush Takes Place Be- tween Atty J. D. Murray
 and Prosecutor Acorn

Special Prosecutor Hugh M. Alcorn in superior court today served notice on the ,27 defendants of the local grand jury investigation that new and sensational evidence, other than that contained in the 74-page jury report, will be presented against them at the trials. References to cheeks in which fictitious names were used by Con- troller Daniel J. Leary and Carl D. Olsen were made by MT. Alcorn as he argued against various motions presented to Judge Ernest A. Inglis in superior court today.
 Defense counsel for 9 of the 27 defendants including Lieut.. Gov. T. Frank Hayes, charged with con- splracy to defraud the City of waterbury, presented motions for permission to inspect the minutes of the grand jury: motions, to cx- punge the entire grand jury report: motions to expunge portions of the information in the bench warrant; and motions for more particular statements; and motions to uuash the information.
 Attorneys In Clash
 A brush occurred between Mir Al- corn and Attorney James D. c. Murray, counsel to Mayor Hayes. when Alcorn made reference to the lack of regard for the court which defense counsel seemed to have in filing such motions.
 In high dudgeon, Attorney Mur- ray referred MT. Alcorn to the Code of Professional Ethics, in which he stated, 1t is granted the defense counsel the right to take whatever steps possible for the de- fense for his client.
 IA Defendants Stick
 The 14 attorneys for the defense remained in court until 1:l5 D. m., when the morning session was con- cluded. The arguments will be con- tinued this afternoon at 2:15, when
