Somewhere in the controllers office since the first of January when Controller Sherwood L. Row land took office, there have been $20,000 in checks, undated without the names of the payee filled in immaculate as to their availability for use legally as tender of the city
 But Controller Sherwood L. Row. land found these checks only yes terday, this, in spite of the fact that the amount stipulated had been charged against balances of last year in general ledgers. So, to the board of finance, the controller re- ported the $2O,OOO as an item in- cluded in the March surplus re- source sinking fund accumulation of about $55.000.

 ton By Crash Victims

Settlement of two cases in which the City of Hartford and the trus- tees of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad Company were defendants to the extent of $20,OOO was reported today at the local su- perior court where the cases had been pending trial.

State Administrator Sullivan Denies WPA
 Eligibility Amended
Plan of Government to Encourage Return to Private Employment Safeguards Workers Who Suffer Loss
 of Employment Through No Personal Fault

CTS who accept other employment after this date and lose such em- ployment through no fault of their own will be reassigned to WPA projects provided they are eligible. " This notice was posted on all pro- jects in the state.
 While WPA encourages workers to accept private employment when ever the opportunity arises, it does in no wise penalize a former work CT by making it difficult to return to WPA rolls if he has taken pri- vate employment since June 30, 1897. All he has to do upon leav- ing private job is to apply for reinstatement on a form which is obtainable from his WPA foreman, field engineer or local or state WPA offices. Those forms are also avail able at the local Welfare Depart ment offices.
 Checkup Follows
 This form, when properly filled out, gives a brief but concise state ment of the individuals situation. The worker is reinstated as soon as it is possible to clear his appli- cation through the usual channels, a few days at most, and put to work. After he has been re-em- ployed an investigation of the req sons for his leaving private em- ployment are checked, along with his eligibility for a relief job. If those items are found in agreement with statements made by the work CT he remains on the WPA rolls.
 In every case, however, such work CTS must be citizens of the United States or have taken out their first papers prior to June 29, 1897.

 I'm not concerned with where the money has been but I would like to know how it could have been handled in such a manner all of this time," Commissioner Major w. Judge commented. The commissioners asked to sec the checks and James F. Purcell, on order of William J. Armstrong, on order of Controller Sherwood L.. Rowland, found" the checks, a large stack of them, and the finance com- missioners scrutinized the pretty black coupons. Amusement was ex- pressed that an office with addition al expert help of special account ants, auditors from the peak of auditing, and volunteer financial ex- perts from the Republican camp which formerly counted the control Ter it's stalwart, could have "lost' $2O,OOO in checks for more than three months.
 Found In Reshuffle Controller Rowland, with William J. Armstrong, special chief financial expert in the office of the controller speaking for him explained" that the checks were made ready in De- cember and the corresponding num- bers were entered on the ledgers but that the cheeks had not been sent out. They were "found", according to Spokesman Armstrong, when the current Griffenhagen & Associates scrutiny of unpaid bills resulted in super expert sorting of the state ments of city obligations.
 "It was the reconciliation, said Spokesman Armstrong, delving into the technical.
 "So it was the reconciliation" said the finance commissioners. "Just the reconciliation of $20000 in the led gers but not on the checks, the lost checks that have been found"
 The controllers aides "straighten- ed out" the books by adding the O,OO0 to the surplus resource sink ing fund, and added the accounts on the Iedgers to unpaid city bills"

 It was the auditors who discov- cred the matter, in spite of an ex- haustive audit of the firm two months ago, the three months "re- search" of financial experts from here and there and the Republican newspapers into affairs Rowland.

BUDAPEST, Hungary, March 10
Premier Koloman Daranyi's cabinet
underwent swift reorganization last
night In preparation for an elaborate
rearmament and public works pro-
gram.
Without formal announcement, the
premier threw OH armament restric-
tions of peace treaties and launched
the financial and military program he
announced at Gyoer last week.
1t was stated that Daranyi's pur-
pose in recognizing the cabinet was
to drop ministers who were half
hearted in supporting his new pro-
gram and to gather about him experts
in technical and financial matters.

foreign minister, Gen. Wilhelm Roe

minister OF the interior, Balint Homar

affected by Gernany's expanding
power in Central Europe and the
realistic" turn of British diplomacy,
might be worsened by it.
Still unsolved labor conflict and
new drains on the national resources
for rearmament contributed to the
downfall of M. Chautemps.
He resigned without testing his
strength in parliamentary vote, but
made a final appeal for emergency
financial powers similar to those M.
Blum sought, and the Senate refused,
last June.
Chief of Largest Party.
The slim, gray-mustached NJ Blum
accepted the task as chief of the
largest party in the Chamber of Dep
utles, whose refusal to vote full f1nan-
cial and economic powers to M. Chau-
temps led to today's resignation. What
majority M. Blum counted upon was
not apparent late this afternoon.
There were reports in political cir
cles he might attempt to bring Center
groups. such as Paul Reynauds Gen.
trlsts, into the governments COM
bination he failed to effect when he
tried to form government in the
January crisis.
M. Blum conferred with Edouard
Daladier. M. Chautemps' defense min
lister and president of the Radical
socialists. after routine calls on
Edouard Herriot, president of the
chamber, and Jules Jeanneney, presi-
dent Of the Senate.
Franc Fluctuates.
The franc lowered between 3l,7O
and 3l.80 to the dollar in late trading.
Bankers recalled that Socialists had
demanded on the occasion of the
January downfall of NJ Chautemps'
previous cabinet that some sort Of ex-
change control be put into effect to
prevent further decline of the franc.
M. ChautempS wanted the decree
powers, he told a crowded, silent cham
Der, because persistent rumors of cabi-
net changes had taken "All the liberty
and power" from his government.
Emphasizing that the crisis which
brought his fall was essentially politi-
cal, rather than financial, M. Chau-
temps said, nevertheless, that:
If we received the full power neces-
sary. this government would be able
to carry on perfectly we'll"
Treasury Declared Safe.
The Premier assured the deputies
the treasury was in safe position,
although there is prospective budget
deficit OF around $400,000,000, due to
vast ornaments expenditures. Weak
ness of the franc, he said, was only
transitory."
Opposition of Socialists, who had
given him support in Parliament, was
the immediate cause Of his resigna-
ton.
M. Chautemps remained with Presi-
dent Lebrun for some time after other
ministers had handed in their resign
nations and departed. But on leaving
the Presidents Palace he indicated
he would refuse any offer to head a
new government.
Il leave without any desire to re-
turn" he said.
Several Hurt in Skirmish.
The rising political confusion was
evidenced by a skirmish near the
Champs Elysees, where several were
injured in clash between rival Ma
tionalists. members of Col Francois de
la Rocque's French Social Party and
Of Louis Marin's Republican Fedora
ton.
Delegations of workers thronged the
premier's Matignon Palace, presenting
petitions for continuance of social re-
forms.
