NEW YORK. Dec. 1.-THE bond
market slanted lower today, al
though losses for the most part
were confined to fractions and there
were even a scattering of small
gamers.
Loew's 3Las, however, stepped out
of the groove to show loss of more
than points under heavy offerings
as the short session neared the
finish. Losers of fractions to a
point or so included Southern Rail-
way convertible SIS, Illinois Central
ANS. Western Union SIS of go, Mis-
souri, s-Texas SIS of 50. Frisco
4las of T8 and Baltimore 81 Ohio
convertible AIS.
Nickel Plate 4l2s managed a
minor gain. Also on the plus side
were Tennessee Electric Power IS
and Chicago & Northwestern 44s
of 40.
Traders steered clear of the United
States Government division and
fluctuations were confined to 3-32ds
of a point either way. Among
foreign loans Argentine 4s were in
fair demand while some Italian and
japanese government issues were
marked down narrowly.

JobIess Tax Receipts
Far Above Year Ago
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK. Dec 17.-Treasury
receipts from States covering un-
employment taxes so far in the
latest fiscal year have run substan-
TALLY ahead of comparable revenue
in 1897, despite the sharp increase
IN unemployment between the two
periods.
This seeming anomaly is explained
by tax experts as the result of the
so per cent jump in the tax rate
that went into effect on January
!, 1898.
Federal revenues from the unem-
ployment tax reported by the daily
Treasury statement of December u
for the last 5l2 months stood at
1887 900 900 against 1922 900, ,000-an

FIREBUC BLAMED
 FOR CAPE FIRE

Truro, Mass, April 6.-(UP)-A firebug was blamed today for lower Cape Gods worst forest fire in a decade.
 Over 400 firemen, eco workers and volunteers checked the flames late last night only after they had destroyed 5000 acres of pine Wood- land, blackening a swath four miles long and a mile wide.
 Acting Fire Chief George Dutra said that the setting of several fires during the early stages of the blaze caused the flames to spread rapidly and indicated incendiarism. Tire tracks on a North Truro woods road where the fire started indicated an automobile had passed shortly be- fore discovery of the fire.
 Gallons of water were poured on scores of Long Nook Beach sum- mer cottages, Artists Colony stu dios and the town grammar school. All were saved.
 A fire truck whose motor was stalled by the intense heat was pulled to safety by tractor from the Pamet River Coast Guard sta- tion. A volunteer fire-fighter's automobile was destroyed.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-04-06

cannot be identified immediately with any municipal connections. There is possibility, however, that such connection is the reason for his appearance. The majority of the witnesses remained for but short times. MT. Carlin arrived just at noon and was excused immediately for re-appearance this afternoon.
 Recess at 1:30 P. M.
 The jury did not recess until al- most 80 o'clock, and it was appar- ent that Martin J. Dunn was the most important witness of the morn ing. All other witnesses were ex- cused early in the morning, leaving him the only one who could possi- ply be testifying. He left at 1:15 and will undoubtedly re-appear this afternoon.
 Today was apparently the first time he entered the grand jury room, although he has made four previous appearances.
 Six Witnesses Tuesday Six witnesses appeared at yester- days session which opened at 1 o'clock and continued only to 5 o'clock. But none of the witnesses created as much of a furore by his presence as did Special Prosecutor Alcorn when he strode into the sup erior court rooms where Judge Er- nest A. Inglis was presiding at 3:20.
 When Judge Inglis adjourned court at 3:30, MT. Alcorn went into conference with him for about twenty minutes, but the subject under discussion was apparently not of unusual import to the jury's pro- cedre. Spectators in the courtroom when MT. Alcorn entered, believed that the moment for issuance of in- dictmentS had arrived.
 Buckley Hea6s the List
 The six witnesses who appeared yesterday were Major John Buckley of Union who made previous ap- pearance on March 30; Judge John F. McGrath of city court, who first made an entrance to the jury floor March 24; Christopher Luddy, supernumerary policeman, a witness of April 1; Martin J. Dunn, who has been present at sessions of March 30, 31, and April l; Harry Frank, who also appeared March 31 and April 1; and William F. Connolly of Bridgeport, making his first appear ance.
 The latter is recognized as an expert on property valuation, and is now affiliated with the assessors of flee of Bridgeport. He worked in Waterbury from 1928 to 1881 on pro- perty revaluation, according to John H. Crary. It is believed that MT. Connolly was questioned by the jury in connection with the work re- quired in making a property re- valuation.
 Three members ofthe local as sessors' office received special fees for making a revaluation here between 1928 and 1881. MT. Alcorn was unusually silent at the close of yesterdays session, refusing to dis cuss his conference with Judge Inglis, or any phase of the case which might be connected with the conference.

WATR Notes

Program directors from the three basic stations comprising the Con- necticut BroadcaSting System con- verged on Waterbury and the studios of WATR in particular yesterday afternoon for a general consultation of policies and programs of the Nut meg State network. Present at the thorough verbal session were pro- gram directors: Charles Wright of WELL New Haven; Hal Goodwin, WNBC, New Britain and Jimmy Parker, WATR, Waterbury. Results of the important conference will be evident in new ether-Wave offer ings by the state network stations commencing next week. The three program pilots estimated that the ConnBS now has listening audi ence daily of million, located in every corner of Connecticut. There is not an area in the entire state that is not covered by the combined wattage of the three en- terprising network stations; which obviously means that WATR, WELL and WNBC when broadcasting as a single unit command the largest listening audience of any Nutmeg eXhaler. This medium is a valuable one to aspiring artists and commer- cial men alike.
 A most importOnt character
 celebrated her birthday yester-
 day; and that birthday is of
 more than passive interest to
 thousands of children and
 grown-ups too, throughout Wa
 terbury and the entire country
 for that matter. The popular
 character is Babe Bunting of
 the comics! Genial "Uncle
 Harry" announced Babes birth
 day in his popular WATR comic
 quarter-hOur last night at 500
 o'clock. Uncle Harry" says that
 Babe Bunting is easily one of
 the outstanding comic strip
 characters of the decade. So,
 even Babe Bunting of the com
 ics grows older!
 waterbury On Parade" contin- ues at great guns over Waterbury s Own Station, with most of the pro- grams sponsors renewing for an- other spell Waterbury On Parade" is one of the leading fan-mail pull lers on the WATR schedule. The enterprising show will more than likely continue through the sum- mer and fall.
 The reason for the delay in
 the arrival of WATR's new
 transcription service seems to
 be due to an error on the part
 of the Standard Service of Hol-
 lywOOd which dispatched parcel
 post and mail for Waterbury's
 WATR, to WATR, Waterbury,
 Maryland. To our knowledge
 and also that of the newest
 Atlas map of the United States
 there seems to be no such cOm-
 munity as Waterbury, Maryland.
 We're hoping sincerely thst
 Standards transcriptionS prove
 to be of q higher caliber than
 their geographical education.
