NO CHANGE IN
 COURT CUSTOM
Courts of State Accused Of Transferring Juvenile
 Cases Illegally

While transfers of class involving youths between ages of IS and IS years from city to juvenile courts now is being halted in other sections of the state, Miss Kathleen Crowley, juvenile probation officer. remarked that this practice has not been the mode in Waterbury. By an opinion of the attorney-general of the state In 1885, 1t was held that the city courts had no such discriminatory power.
 Thus, in Hartford and various other cities of the state, 1t has been in violation of the ruling that such cases have been turned over to the juvenile courts during the last two or three years.
 Miss Crowley remarked that the city court judges in Waterbury sometimes have tried cases of min- ors in the juvenile court room when 1t seemed advisable, but that the cases remained on the city court records. All cases involving youths more than 16 years old have been tried by the city court, she said.

be required to make the money last for the entire period appropriated for and congress might have to re- turn to appropriate further relief funds If the depression gets worse
 Three Major Tests
 The final days debate was fea- tured by three major tests.
 The first came when Senator Royal s. Copeland, Democrat, New York, attempted to earmark $24,- 235, 300 of public works funds for flood control, and rivers and harbors projects in all 48 states. It was re- jected, 43 to 29.
 The second was on the official Re- publican relief plan, sponsored by Senator Arthur H. Vanderberg, Re- publican, Michigan, for turning ad- ministration over to the states, and requiring them to put up 25 cents of every dollar spent.
 Vanderburg would have increased the WPA fund to $2,4l0000,000. He had discussed the plan so thor oughly in previous speeches that when the actual consideration time arrived he offered it without debate. On roll cal it was rejected, 51 to 21.
 The third was dual test on an issue which provoked the bitterest debate of the entire bill-alleged in- reference of WPA officials in pol itics.
 Second Effort Made
 Although Sen. Carl A. Hatch, D., N. M., had seen his amendment to keep relief workers and executives out of politics defeated Thursday, Sen. Warren R. Austin, R., Vt., made a second attempt to put restrictions in the bill. But it failed, 35 to 33. Finally, Sen. Edward R. Burke, D., Neb., moved to reconsider the Hatch amendment. It also was defeated, B to 32.
 An announcement by WPA Ad- ministrator Harry L. Hopkins fa- voring Rep. Otha D. Wearin in his effort to unseat Sen. Guy M. Gil- lette in the Iowa democratic sena- torial primary had precipitated the row among democratic senators. Many of them fear opposition from the New Deal because of their bolt ol. the supreme court reorganization bill last year.
 Amendment Accepted .. ..
 One amendment was accepted, however, which-if not eliminated in conference-may upset present WPA policy. Offered by Sen. Josh Lee, D., Okla, on behalf of Sen. Elmer Thomas, D., Okla, who is back home campaigning, it would fix a minimum wage of $40 month for WPA workers.
 The present minimum is $21 in the south. It ranges up to $55 for unskilled workers in the north.
 The items provided by the senate version are WPA $1,425, ,OOO ,0OO; PWA $965, ,OO0, ,OOO: FSA $175, 5,OOO,0O PWA Revolving Fund, $4O0,0OO,0O U s. Housing Authority $500 ,000 ,0O0; IVA $75 5,000 ,000; REA $100, 0,000, ,0O0; Public Buildings $30,000,000; Parity Price Payments $212,000 0O0; Puerto Rico Reconstruction $6,000 ,000; and $35, 100000 for Administrative Ex- penses.
 The housing authorization was passed as separate bill by the house, but added to the senate bill as an amendment by Sen. Robert F. Wagner, D., N. Y.

ward raising the income level of all farmers.
 Technically, the bill is now back remains before it goes to conference. Sen. Ava B. Adams, Democrat, Colo rado, its floor manager, had the sen ate conferees appointed before last nights adjournment. In addition to himself, Senators Kenneth Nickel lar, Democrat, Tennessee; James F. ByrneS. Democrat, South Carolina |; Frederick Hale, Republican, Maine, and John c. Townsend Jr., Rcpub- lican, Delaware, were appointed.
 Adjourn Next Week Barkley, who held the senate in continuous session 13 hours yester- day to get 1t passed. said that if wages and hours, and recovery con- ferces work diligently nothing should prevent sine die adjournment of the 18th congress next week.
 The recovery bill started out from the house appropriations committee aggregating $3,054 ,425, 900. The house added $1O0,000,000 for the rural identification administration. The senate appropriations committee raised the total to $3,247, ,025, ,000, chiefly by adding $2l2,000,000 for parity price payments to farmers. Before the senate finally settled on its still larger total 1t added $300,- 100000 housing authorization.
 Addition of the farm parity pay ments already places one item on the agenda for the next congress enactment of processing taxes to finance them. MT. Roosevelt warned congress that taxes would be needed if the item was approved.
 Special Session
 There was even hint that a special session might be required be- fore the next congress convenes January 3, 1889. On a motion by Byrnes the senate struck out the Woodrum amendment under which the WPA, the Farm Security Admin istration and the National Youth Administration would have been re- quired to plot their estimated ex- penditures and then allot the appro- priated money to cover them for the specified period.
 It had been understood in White House conference before the bill started on it's way through congress that the Woodrum amendment would be retained. The amendment, therefore, faced fight in confer ence, particularly as Rep. Clifton A. Woodrum, Democrat, Virginia, will be one of the house conferees. Without 1t, the agencies would not

 and will not motion to defend him. self from the scorching censure of the jury which charged that he al- lowed organized gambling and rack cts to flourish here prior to January l, 1888. Even since May 19 when the jury's report was made public MT. Lewis has declined to discuss the subject of the criticism against him.
 Chief Justice Maltbie will preside at the meeting of the judges on Monday. The decision, of course, will depend on a majority vote of the judges. Numerous appointments, including clerkships of courts, mes- sengers, states attorneys, assistant states attorneys will also be made at the meeting.
 In each of the letters received by Chief Justice Maltbie, the individual bar association members called at- tention to the splendid record which has been established by States At- torney Lewis during the IA years he has been in that office here. He be- came states attorney for this dis trict in 1924, succeeding Attorney Terence F. Carmody.
 During the IA years of his service to the state, MT. Lewis has gained the reputation of being fair and just in every criminal matter. He won national acclaim for his just procedure in the trial of Louis N. Leopold, who is now serving life in Wethersfield for causing the deaths of two children in a Baldwin street fire, during 1928.
 It is also worthy of note that the local states attorneys office is not furnished with as much man-power as other offices in other counties. Hartford county for instance has a states attorney, two assistants, and several investigators.
 Aside from MT. Lewis, the local office includes only one assistant, and one investigator, namely, As- sistant States Attorney William B. Fitzgerald and County Detective Roland G. filling. The latter has no power to make arrests. The ap- pointments of MT. filling and MT. Fitzgerald do not expire until 1939. With the June term of criminal superior court scheduled to com- mence Tuesday, there is little doubt that the judges will be certain to take definite action Monday. Should MT. Lewis be allowed to resign, 8 successor will undoubtedly be ap- pointed. In this event, 1t is possible that Assistant States Attorney Fitz- gerald will be promoted. No in- formation relative to an appoint ment can be obtained, however, for Chief Justice Maltbie has even de- clined to admit whether or not the Lewis resignation has been received by him.
 MT. Lewis is a member of the law firm, Bronson, Lewis, Bronson and Upson. His partner, J. Warren Up- son, is chairman of the Republican town committee-the man who di- rected the campaign in 1887 which led to the election of Sherwood L Rowland as controller. It was the revelations of affairs in the control CTS office which led to the inaugura- ton of the grand jury probe. MT. Upson and MT. Rowland are now at odds over appointments of clerks to the controllers office and the ques- ton of what type of merit system shall prevail. Rowland has refused to allow Upson any rights in the se- lection of employees to succeed those who were retained during the offlce of Daniel J. Leary.

TG|RL INJURED IN
 LEAP FROM AUTO
Given Treatment at Water bury Hospital; Police
 Seek Albert Martin

Dazed, with 8 cut scalp and other bruises, Marie Craven, 19, was brought to Waterbury hospital early today by her mother, Mrs. Alice Craven of % Chase Park avenue, for treatment of injuries the girl said she received when she jumped from an automobile shortly after mid night.
 Later, on report of Motor Patrol man James Wagner, Chief of Detec- tives Joseph P. Stevens and Detec- tive-Lieut. William F. Pollard sought youth whose name was given as Albert Martin, alleged by the girl to have been driver of the car from which she jumped.
 The story told police was that Miss Craven accepted 8 ride from Martin at about midnight when the latter, she said, insisted that she ride home with him."
 Instead of taking me home, he drove out Thomaston avenue" the girl is quoted as telling Patrolman Wagner. When I asked him to take me home, he refused and I jumped from the car. didn't remember anything until I got to the hospital"
 The police version is that Miss Craven, (also Creaven, according to police report) jumped from the automobile at point near the mo- tor vehicle testing lane on Thomas ton avenue. At the hospital 1t was reported that the girl was brought there for treatment of a scalp in- jury and abrasions of the ankle by her mother; that she appeared "dazed but was readily aroused"
 Neither police nor hospital au- thorities were able to reconstruct the details of how Miss Craven reached home but police records show that Patrolman Wagner reported the af- fair as happening at 12:40 o'clock today.

Armour & Co. President Points to
Drop in Consumption as Re-

ey Cambridge Associates.
With the close of the packers fiscal
year at the end of October, we were
able to put behind us IL months
which encompassed many difficult
ties, says Rooert H. Cabell, president,
Armour e. Co.
The year started with an abundant
rupply of live stock and then re-
celpts dWlndled to an almost all-time
lew. This was particularly true in
tie case of hogs.
We had weeks when the total re-
calpts in the market places were as
much as so per cent below the corre-
spending week the previous year. Re-
c2ipts of cattle and lambs were fair
but uncertain and the high price of
feeds, together with the shortage of
rrime cattle, advanced the prices of
high-grade steers to 20-year peak
Lamb receipts and prices fluctuated,
With prices substantially above last
year and receipts below.

conditions beyond packers control, but
this did not avert pronounced con-
sinner resistance, which caused a sub
stantial falling off in consumption
and created dissatisfaction and uncer-
tainty, which has unfairly penalized
live stock producers, packers and re-
tailers.
1--WE are coming into a new year
with ample supplies of feed at low
prices, and this has caused consider
able rivalry among producers to get
their live stock to market early. AS a
result of the substantial increase IN
receipts pork is selling at most at
tractive prices-several cents a pound
below last year. Beef prices. with the
exception of a few choice cuts. are
also below last year"
