DISEASE MATERIALS TOBACCO INDUSTRY
Connecticut Growers Unite in Campaign to Check
 "DOwny MiIdew"
(Special to The Democratl

Hartford, Conn.,, Jan. An edu- cational program to inform tobacco growers of the best methods to pre- vent or control downy mildew of to- bacco, deadly disease new in Con- necticut last spring, has been ar ranged during December and Jan uary. Cooperating agencies are the Hartford County Farm Bureau and the Tobacco Substation at Wind sor. Meetings have been held in the towns of Sufield, Ellington and South Windsor. The January sched- ule has not yet been made At the same meetings J. s. Owens of the extension service will speak on "Fertilizing the Tobacco Crop"
 Nearly every grower is familiar with the appearance of downy mill dew in the SeedbedS.
 Doctor P. J. Anderson, in charge of the SubStation at Windsor, plans to discuss methods of control de- scribed in his new bulletin on the disease, number 405 of the experi- ment station series, which is ready for distribution this week. Copies are being sent to tobacco growers whose names are listed at the sta tion and to other citizens of Con- necticut on request.
 Downy mildew is fungus dis ease, Doctor Anderson writes, that has been so serious in Australia as nearly to wipe out the tobacco in dustry. It has also been widespread in the South of this country where losses have been severe. The author has studied reports from other places and was watching for the appearance of downy mildeW in Connecticut when the first case was reported late in the seedbed season of 1887. In a few weeks it spread to all sections of the Connecticut Valley. In contrast to habits in other parts of the United States, the disease was found also in the fields when the plants had been set out. but disappeared during the hot, dry spell in July. Because it arrived so late, the actual loss to growers was not large. However, now that it has foothold in Connecticut, Doctor Andersn points out that 1t Is likely to reappear and that it may do con- siderable injury another season.
 Bulletin 405 discusses the symp- toms of the disease, the casual para sites, other plant hosts, the source of infection in the spring, how weather affects mildew, and meth ods of prevention and control.
 The meetings are open to the public and the bulletins are dis tributed free to residents of the state.

BALANCING OF BUDGET REMOTE President Cannot See Any Early Hope Just at
 Present Time
By LYLE c. WILSON

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Washington, Jan. 4-(UP)-Presi- dent Roosevelt went back today to the last year of his second term as the earliest moment in which the unprecedented series of deficits can be checked and the federal budget finally balanced. He will submit his 1889 budget to Congress tomorrow There is no assurance of budget balance even in 1940. But it does appear reasonably certain now that the purely fiscal record of the two Roosevelt administrations will be an unprecedented sequence of treasury deficits.
 Hoover Started It
 Former President Hoover's admin istration started the treasury into the red in the fiscal year 1881. There have been deficits every year since then and MT. Roosevelt informed congress yesterday. that he had abandoned hope of balancing the 1889 fiscal year budget.
 Budget balancing prospects van- AoAlCd P1 CODhAV O4 bOSoA1Coo AC- cession, demands for flood and em- ergency farm relief, and imminent necessity to step up naval construc- ton for national defense. Recovery and relief figures were revised up- ward to $1,876, 100000 for this, year and may go considerably beyond that figure if unemployment reach nc, tho Ia In fotvro nf n00 900 persons toward which it is headed.
 Treasury Revenue Drops
 Estimates of treasury revenue were revised sharply downward. as recession cut into business profits. MT. Roosevelt estimated in October that congress in 1887 had imposed additional budget unbalancing ex- penditures of approximately $344,- 900 000 upon the treasury. Plans for early budget balancing, therefore, have been scrapped. MT. Roosevelt reported to congress yesterday in his annual message only that the size of deficits was diminishing although the treasury will remain in the red when this fiscal year ends next June 30 and 18 months hence when the next fiscal year ends on June 30, 1889. Actual balance of the bud get for complete fiscal year is postponed now for a minimum of 30 months-to June 30, 1940, when the nation will be swinging into a presidential campaign.

MEXICAN CABINET
 IS REORCANIZED

Mexico City, Jan. 4. CUP)-A drastic reorganization of the Mexi- can cabinet became effective today as Presidet Lazaro CardenaS strengthened his new conciliatory toward business.
 As outlined in his New Years day message to the nation, Cardenas re- called that government policies dur ing the first half of his administra- tion had been directed largely to- ward improvement of farm condi- tions but that the next three years would be devoted to Stressing the need of naturalization in Mexico.
 Silvestre Guerrero resigned as minister of interior, highest ranking post in the cabine, and was re- placed by Ignacio Garcia Tellez, CardenaS private secretary.
 The second most important post, that of secretary of war, is held by General Avila Camacho, who took office on New Years day.
 General Rafael Sanchez Tapia resigned as secretary of national economy and was succeeded by Efrain BuenroStro, who had held the post of undersecretary of finance.

GERMAN COUNT IS
 NOT TO LECTURE

Berlin, Jan. 4-(UP)-Count Her. mann Keyserling, philosopher and writer, has cancelled a lecture en- gagement in the United States on the advice" of the Gestapo, the Nazi secret police, it was learned today. Count Keyserlirg was to have sailed for New York late in Decem- Der to fulfill a lecture tour engage ment. Two weeks before his sailing date, it was learned, he was "ad- vised" not to go.
 The first reports of the cancella- tion came last night. They said that "for reasons of health" the count had decided to cancel. Then it was added that 1t appeared doubtful whether he would be able to accept an invitation for later date. As the count is in the Black Forest, apparently in good health, this statement caused speculation s

JIMMY FIDDLER
 IS FACING SUIT
Constance Bennett De- mands $2O,OOO as Dam=
 ages for Alleged Libel

Hollywood, Jan. 4UP)-Con- stance Bennett today demanded $250,O00 damages from the radio movie commentator Jimmy Fidler and his sponsors, whom she accused of libeling her in a broadcast. She said the broadcast falsely described a feud between her and Patsy Kel- ly, another actress working in he1 picture. There was no feud, she said. Miss Bennett once was the highest paid actress. She earned $30000 a week for 10 weeks.
 Fidler, she said, "held her up to public hatred and ridicule" by broadcasting on Dec. 28 over a na- tionwide network as follows:
 "A tense situation has developed at the Hal Roach studios between Constance Bennett and Patsy Kelly It seems that when Patsy came to work the first day, Connie said: I'm glad to have you in my pic ture,' but the second day for some unaccountable reason, Miss Bennett failed to speak to Miss Kelly at all.
 Sided With Miss Kelly
 ''1t became so noticeable that studio electricians and workers siding with Miss Kelly, began say ing Hello Patsy" and they kept it Up the entire day, either in fun or else to make pointed digs at Miss Bennett. "The workmen finally finished things up in grand style when they presented Miss Kelly with large basket of flowers, but none for Miss Bennett"
 Miss Bennett charged that thous- ands of her movie and radio fans were made to believe that she was "ungracious and unfair" to Miss Kelly, who is a brunette comed- iene from Brooklyn. Those named in addition to Fidler were Proctor & Gamble, the program sponsors, and the National Broadcasting com- pany. Fidler said he would oppose the suit.

TWELVE BIG OIL
 TANKERS ON WAY
Standard Oil Company to Build Them for Use of
 Government

Washington, Jan. 4.-(UP)-The United States maritime comission has signed an agreement with the Standard Oil company for construc- ton of 12 high speed oil tankers to be used as auxiliaries for the navy in event of war, Chairman Joseph P. Kennedy announced today. Con- struction contracts totaling $37,556,- GOA have been awarded to ShipyardS he said. The government will pay $l0,563, 900 for inclusion of extras to make the ships easily adaptable for national defense purposes. The company will pay about $27, ,000, ,00C of the construction cost and agrees to maintain the vessels in operating condition at its own expense for 20 years.
 Garry 15O,OOO Barrels
 Commission experts said the new vessels would 3e built to carry 150,00C barrels of oil at a sustained sea speed of 16 1-2 knots over a cruising range of 13OOO miles. The extended cruising radius will enable them to make trans-Pacific crossing and return without refueling. Similar tankers now operate at approx imately 12 1-2 knots and can cruise between 5000 and 5000 miles with out refueling. The new boats will have top speed of IS knots.
 Increased Speed
 Tn addition to increased speed and cruising range, the vessels will carry ammunition magazine spaces, gun foundations, navy searchlights, a special protection against mines and increased "hoatability" in case bulk heads are pierced by shells. The four shipyards awarded contracts each of which will build three of the tankers, are the Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock O., News port News, Va; Bethlehem Ship building Corp.

 MT. Lavery's statement follows:
 'The business of furnishing water to . given community is different from almost every other business. Industry is governed largely by de- mand, and at some seasons of the year this Is greater than others, and employment is affected accordingly. Many reasons have to do with the How of employment and industry. but with water it is largely mat ter of preparedness to meet the de- nland. No water company can af- ford to be caught without adequate supply. Therefore, regardless of conditions, the water company must anticipate it's needs to prepare for the future.

 'SThis arrangement also will bring the staff of the Delaware corpora tion into closer and more intimate contact with current activities of such subsidiary companies

to augment our supply. It Is rather an expensive undertaking. especially when the many uncertainties to pre- sent business are considered, but we know that the need exists for it., and hope by spring to be in a posi- tion to start active work. The new reservoir will impound about twelve billion gallons of water and will be brought into our present system by a tunnel through Popp's Mountain. Regardless of the persent situation of business, we know from our ex- perience that the dam will not be built any too early to meet de- mand which a real business recovery will exact, and besides. it will take several years to finish it.
 One thing about the water busi- ness is that its ability to furnish water to communities is not com parable with any other. The amount of time involved to create a new supply makes it imperative that suf- ficient water to meet any ordinary demand must be at hand. A tem- porary recession in business is only a warning that the pendulum will swing back again, and sometimes even farther than before. If you are not ready to meet any peak, you are not doing justice to the com munity you serve because the failure of a water company to meet any de- mand might stagnate the growth of the community, and this must not happen. Those entrusted to furnish water supply to given community recognize this and act accordingly. Most cities keep ahead of the parade as far as water Is concerned, and 1t is well that thi sshould be, because water is humanity's greatest need next to the air we breathe"

Record In
 Gas Appliance Sales
Companies in Connecticut Experience Year of Notable
 Achievements Says New Haven Executive

"The gas industry has awakened and by it's spontaneous and wide spread support of such national projects as the Mystery Chef broad casts, the three-year national .ad- vertising campaign, the national Home Planning program, and the $1 100000 Gas Industries exhibit at the coming New York worlds fair gives conclusive evidence that new era in gas development is dawning Unless the current business recession exceeds present predictions, more gas and more gas appliances should be sold in Connecticut during 1936 than in any previous year."
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-01-04

Describing 1897 as a year of mo- table accomplishment by the gas companies of Connecticut, with in- creases in customers, gas sales and revenues and an all-time record in the sale of gas appliances, H. R. Sterrett, president of the New Ha- ven Gas Light company, in resume of year-end conditions in the gas industry predicted that, unless the present recession exceeds current predictions, more gas and more gas appliances will be sold in Connecti- cut in 1888 than in any previous year.
 Notable Achievements
 Mir. Sterretts statement follows:
 Nineteen hundred and thirty seven has been year of notable accomplishment by the gas compa- nies in Connecticut. The number of gas consumers, the quantity of gas sold, and the revenue from same have all exceeded 1886 figures, and the sale of gas appliances in 1887 established an all-time record.
 Despite the changing habits of the general populace, such as the decided increase in the use of pre- pared foods, the growing habits of eating out and of doing less laun- dry work at home, the greater ire quency of weekend holidays, and the greatly improved efficiency of the new gas ranges and water meat ers,-the use of gas for domestic purposes in the home has shown an increase. Interest in the use of gas for heatinng homes, stores and other places of business is growing tremendously with that of other fuels. Even with the extremely mild weather of last winter the quantity of gas used for heating has shown a very substantial and increase. The greatest gain in the use of gas iri 1897 occurred in the industrial and commercial fields where, because of it's cleanliness, uniformity, economy and ease of control, gas is becoming increasingly popular.
 Remarkable advances have been made in the performance of gas ap- pliances. No olnger can the claim be upheld that gas kitchens are in- ferior, for today the modern gas kitchens are models of cleanliness and beauty. They automatically produce a standard of cooking that is unequalled.- and they do it more economically. The gas refrigerator has gained widespread public &C., ceptance and enjoyed an extraordin- ary increase in sales during 1887.

Regardless of the present situa- ton in business, water companies must prepare far ahead to protect the well-being and growth of the communities they serve, since con- struction of the water supplies takes several years and in the case of the Saugatuck Development of the Bridgeport Hydaulic Company there is no assurance it will be built any too early to meet demand which
