Rowland Made Issue

Controller Rowland made the is- sue at the first meeting he attended with the board of finance early this month that he wanted an opinion in the matter of separating truck services from payroll accounts. It was at that time the publicity campaign" started and numerous payments to truck owners appeared as items" which the controller questioned"
 More latterly, the controller has approved payments to some of these same truckmen, then under fire by his publicity staff. Thus, it was seen, the controller has learned of the legitimacy of the accounts chosen for attack during his first days in office.
 Truckmen May Loaf
 There was question today whether the start of the week would find some of the truckmen working and, should this be the case, the prob lem of keeping many of the WPA workers employed is seen as a crisis in this phase of city work. The WPA rolls are at the peak for three years and many persons on the rolls are confronted with disqualification be- cause of eligibility for unemploy- ment compensation.
 Facts In Case
 The fact of the matter as relates to the non-payment of the truck owners is that 19 of them now en- gagged in city work have received only one weeks pay since Dec. 27 The same number more, now en- gagged in WPA work but due to be paid by the city, have not received any pay since Dec. 27.
 One owner of a truck is @ woman the mother of eight children, who has been on the WPA rolls for be- tween two and three years, The Dem ocrat learned today. The hardship, as it was related, is such that the question of food in this case has become a most important considera- tion. The woman has tried time and again to get some part of the money due her but has been refused by Controller Rowland, or his assistant MT. Purcell.
 An official commented that the WPA truck force probably will be unable to work Monday. Tn that case it will mean the throwing out of em- ployment of several hundred WPA workers who cannot function with out the truck service.

 The text of Hull's instructions to Grew, or of the protest which Grew was ordered to make to the foreign office, were not given out. It was anticipated, however, that the pro- test would be fully as vigorous as that made few days ago.
 Diplomatic observers here said it was difficult to see how Grew could make stronger protest, short of a break in diplomatic relations be- tween the two countries. State de- pertinent officials made no secret of the seriousness with which they viewed the developing situation, con- sidered by some fully as critical as the Panay incident.
 May Reopen Panay Bombing
 Some officials hinted that the present series of "outrages" might well be grounds for reopening the Panay incident. They said the in- cident was considered by this gov ernment only because of the sweep ing assurances by the Japanese gov- ernment against future depredations against Americans and their pro- perty in China by Japanese forces. Since these assurances have never been fulfilled, these officials said, the Panay incident remains as open as ever.

at the end of the calendar year.
 The governor said he hoped soon to issue a statement regarding the financial condition of the state for the six months period July to Dec. 31, 1887.
 He added he was informed state relief rolls have gone up about 50 per cent from August to December, a situation described as "serious" by Welfare Commissioner Frederic c. Walcott.
 Drastic Cuts in View
 The governor, directly responsible under the statutes for operation of the states financial system, was un- derstood ready to make drastic cuts in state services, and possibly sal- aries, if the budget situation war wanted. He has ample authority under the law, it was pointed out, to enforce cuts in every department, agency and institution through the following four-point "club" given him in the reorganization program:
 1. Moral suaSion.
 2. Control of allotmentS.
 8. Approval of personnel.
 1. Control of purchases.
 Fact Finding Agency
 Budget Director Whitaker said his department has been acting as "a fact-f1nding agency" for the gov ernor and Commissioner Hall. He said he had not, and would not force adoption of budgetary recom- mendationS on any state division:
 That, Whitaker added, was up to the governor.
 we are proceeding now" Whita- ker said, under a system of com promise and negotiation with de- partments, agencies and institutions This method has succeeded admir- ably. We are not policemen. We are merely performing certain incl dental functions. The governor has the responsibility" It was reported the governor, as yet, has not hao occasion to use his four-point "club' to force reforms. "There has beer no crisis yet" Whitaker said.

MISSING SPOUSE |BIGAMY SUSPECT
Criminal, Civil Action Are Threatened By Wife No.
 2-DivOrce Asked

Criminal as well as civil prosecu- tions will undoubtedly be pressed against Francis Edward Priore of New Haven, who is accused by Mrs. Mildred Parker Priore of this city, as bigamist. Priore has departed from New Haven, however, and at present his whereabouts are un- known.
 Local officials said today that the criminal action would depend upon the police of Millerton, New York, where the alleged bigamy occurred. That town has jurisdiction in the case, it was learned.
 On Wednesday of this week, Mrs. Mildred Parker Priore of this city instituted an action in the local Superior Court to have her mar riage to Priore annulled. She claim ed that when she married Priore at Millerton, N. r., August IS, 1885 he was the husband of Clara B. Wadsworth, presumably of New Haven.
 Mrs. Priore, who seeks to have her name changed to Mildred Par- ker, claims that when she married Priore, he informed her that he had been married previously but that the marriage had been legally dissolved. He was married to his legal wife, Clara B. Wadsworth on March 3, 1919.
 Priore deserted her October IA, 1887, the former Mildred Parker states in her complaint, and there upon she investigated and learned his first marriage had never been dissolved, and that his wife was still living. The petitioner had lived at New Haven with Priore from the date of their marriage until the desertion occurred.

Economic Highlights
In January Sessions Congress Will Plan Against Pos
sible War; American usiness NOw Picking
Up, Still Has Dark Spots

In a little more than two
months, Congress will convene
again. According to most fore
casters it will be a far more in
dependent body, so far as White
House influence is concerned,
than its last few predecessors.
The failure of the Presidents
party ''purge"-every Senator
against whom he campaigned was
renominated, and his only victory
was the defeat by very small
margin of Congressman O'Connor
of New York-has, the reports
say, aroused a belligerent spirit
in the hearts of large number
of lawmakers who have been
spending their time sitting on
the fence, in fear of making COM
mitments that might cost them
votes.
In still another particular this
next Congress, unless the UNI
looked-for happens, will be diff
ferent from those it Immediately
follows, Legislation dealing with
many vexatious domestic prob
lens will be on the calendar. But
this will be overshadowed, dur
ing a large part of the session at
any rate, by proposed legislation
arising from the chaotic Euro
uean and Asiatic situations, and
dealing with what this country
will do if and when war breaks
put.
War Measures
According to Business Week,
suggested ''war proposals" for
Congress fall into two broad cate
gories: Il. Measure to support
domestic economy disturbed by
arrangement of the normal func-
tioning of trade at home and
abroad. 2. Measures anticipat-
ing the eventual involvement of
the United States-and this is
taken for granted in all quarters
of the Administration.
All this may seem far away,
but it cannot be discounted when
the chance of European foreign
observer and correspondent fore
cast that it would be short last

ing, and would result in conflict
within three years at the outside.
AS a result, the legislation that
will be proposed, and perhaps
passed, at the next Congress to
deal with war, will be of great
concern to every citizen.
One piece of legislation-the
Neutrality Act-may cause some
thing of a storm in House and
Senate Some Influential mem
berS want to revise the Act to
greatly limit the Presidents au-
thority in permitting commercial
dealings with embattled nations.
The White House wants to re-
tain that authority, and even en-
large it. If matters come to a
head, there's likely to be a knock
acknowledgement fight over
this vital piece of legislation,
with no holds barred.

able vitality. Even when the
war scare was at its height, it
didn't go back great deal on the
whole, though security prices
sagged. Today, with business
certain that hosilities have been
postponed for some time, it is
moving up steadily.
There are some dark spots in
the picture, of course One big
one is the dilemam of the rail-
roads-the upshot of the wage
negotiations will to a large ex-
tent determine the immediate fu-
ture of this industry. In some
areas labor troubles remain an
unsettling factor, and there are
rumors of more strikes ahead. If
these occur on a large scale, the
entire outlook could be quickly
changed for the worse.
In the meantime, retail trade
is improving in most parts of the
country, production is picking up
in all lines of raw and manufac-
tured goods. and construction is
going forward. New life in con-
struction, as a matter of fact, is
one of the very best of the bust
ness omens.

brain cannot always do solo-out-
smarting for the world. Every
body, except the great ..1-ME-
MINE" of Europe, has perhaps
heard the old gag that you should
never go around with woman
unless you can go two rounds
with her husband. The moral
in this instance is, of course, that
dictators should not start a
militaristic strut unless they
can beat the rest of the world
strutting, and are prepared, fl
nancially and Internationally, to
keep it up. Because overreach-
ing dictators overreached the
world and constituted themselves
menaces to world security, the
great democracies are now head
ed for preparedness, prepared
ness the like and extent of which
civilization has not therefore,
dreamed. And, soon or late,
when dictators become over
whelmed they may not be here
to reflect that they, and they
alone, started all the trouble.

A big senator, afflicted with

man, upon reading the recent
