Hartford. Conn, May 12.-Res- idents of the fifth congressional district, are about to witness one of the most bitter political battles in history over the Republican con- gressional nomination. There are rurnors of discontent at present among the Waterbury members of the Republican party, Republican convention delegates and Republi- can ward leaders are taking J. War ren Upson, Republican town chair man in Waterbury, and his leader ship of the party to task. The fact that Upson was badly defeated two years ago after being given the nomination by the Republican con- vention has not helped him. Local

Republicans question whether Up- son under existing conditions can secure recognition from Republican state leaders or whether he can secure favors from those leaders for his followers.

 Waterbury,s delegates are about to break away from the control of Upson, perhaps not for a while to come, but surely before the day of the convention rolls around. There is considerable i'll feeling against him since it has been learned that he intends to support Col. Roy Rice for the Republican congressional nomination. Waterbury Republicans can not picture Rice being given the nomination and they hesitate to align themselves with a loser this

SPRING REVIVAL
FAILS TO APPEAR
Contra-SeasonaI Advance
in Summer Regarded
as Improbable.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK, April 3O.-1n its weekly
summary Of the general business situ-
alton. the Standard Statistics Co. Of
New York currently comments as fol-
lows:
THE spring season is now we'll ad-
vanced. but business so far has failed
to respond in significant fashion and
has lacked the vitality which it usually
shows at this time Of the year. There
is no basis for assuming that condi-
tions will change with such rapidity
that contra-seasonal improvement
will be witnessed in the normally dull
summer months.
1T is evident that business men
are not going to be stampeded into
buying commodities as a result Of the
administrations spending. lending and
monetary program. 1t is the obvious
intention of the proponents Of this
program to attempt to foster q revival
Of imitation psychology, but to date
these efforts have fallen rather nat.
Buying Is Cautious.
Recent checks with a large num-
ber of business men substantiate the
belief that very cautious buying poll
cies will continue to be followed at
least over. the near term. Few ex-
ecutives look for important strength
in the commodity markets, and, in
fact, more weakness than strength is
expected over the next months.
Moreover, inventories. broadly consid-
cred. are still heavy in relation to
current and prospective early future
demand. and the process Of inventory
liquidation will probably be carried
somewhat further.
This does not mean that the long
term inflationary implications of the
Governments monetary policies are
not fully recognized. The point is that
most business men are skeptical of the
new program. They have been burnt
on several occasions in recent years
because Of unwise inventory policies
based on inflationary fears and conse-
quently they are following policy of
watchful waiting at this time.
Restrictions Stressed.
moreover, the belief Is rather wide
spread that sustained recovery is un-
likely unless a number of restrictive
factors are removed. The biased Ma
tional Labor Relations Board, the
deplorable condition of the railroads.
the continued political attacks on the
utilities which are preventing impor-
tant capital expenditures in that in
dustry and the unsatisfactory outlook
for farm income over the longer term
are influences which cannot be ignored
in appraising the general business out
look
There is little reason to expect
business activity to show much, if any,
improvement before the fourth quarter
OF this year. In the important steel
industry. for example, buying con-
tinues on a hand-to-mouth basis.
Retail sales Of automobiles have picked
up moderately in recent weeks, but
the improvement has been less than
seasonal. Textile demand is still
spotty, with no signs of important
Improvement over early future weeks.
Residential building is holding up
fairly well, rejecting the more liberal
F. H. A. terms, but it Is unlikely that
construction activity generally will
make substantial progress until busi-
ness as whole is recovering"

you punched out a hole which had a
higher figure than 20 you only had to

you paid only corresponding to the

Prudent shoppers who come tc

their car doors. Others not so pru-

in their cars may find several missing
when they arrive home if they become
careless.
There is no special amount of thiev-
ing going on but at this time of the
year there is always the danger of
packages being stolen from cars when
doors are unlocked
Car thieves seldom break locks OF
windows, but they will remove pack
ages from unlocked cars. They loiter
in the neighborhood of parked cars in
to which parcels go and watch to see
if the owners lock their doors. This
warning is particularly aprops at this
season when Christmas shopping is
under way in earnest.
