President.
In his radio talk Friday
night, Mr.. Roosevelt served EN-
phatic notice on congressional
candidates that he reserved the
right, not as President but as titu

to speak freely in behalf of the
New Deal platform.

WAY TO PAY SOUGHT
Working in the Hyde Park
study, the President pushed for
ward long-laid plans for another
recovery drive. beginning July l
when the new lend-spend appro-
priations become effective.
The Executive told newspaper
that while he pressed ma.
tional expenditures to meet the
greatest wave of unemployment
this country, or any other, has
even known, he and other New
Deal economists were looking for a
means of paying the cost.
In a recent public paper, Mr..
Roosevelt declared that national,
State, county and municipal taxes
would have to be over-hauled in
1889. 1t was assumed additional

The President. under question

ish system. That small and COM

able to finance a public works pro

years of prosperity.
ARMAMENT AIDS
The United States was unable
to do this, continued the President.
In fact, more unemployment pre-
walls throughout the world today
than ever before in history, and
no genius yet has been able to de-
wise a way to overcome it. Con-
tinuous invention of labor saving
machinery, natural economics, re-
actions from the World War, etc.,

Mr.. Roosevelt observed heavy
armament programs were one tenn
porary method of meeting an eco
nomic emergency. Despite the
blllion-dollar naval building pro-
gram the United States is under
taking, the President pointed out
that American costs ran only to

European countries were spending

GERMAN CONSUL
 RECEIVES THREATS
Boston Officer Will Open as Usual-Acting COn=
 sul Gets Protection

Boston, Nov. 12-(UP)-A Acting Consul Kurt Bohme planned to open the German consulate today as usual despite bombing threat.
 Plain clothes detectives and uni- formed police were stationed in and around the State street office build ing in which the consulate is situa- ted.
 A guard also was placed about Bohme's home in suburban Belmont.
 The threat, latest of several, was made anonymously by telephone yesterday. Similar threats were re- ported received by the German consul at New York.
 q became a little worried when my wife answered the telephone in our home this morning and man said that if the consulate offices were opened tomorrow, they would be blown up and everyone killed, Bohme said last night.
 "All of the calls have been anony- nous and seemed to have been made by men-pefhaps one, perhaps several. Each time I answered the telephone, would be subjected to burst of invectives and a tirade against reported incidents against Jews in Germany.
 T was called out of bed at o'clock this morning by threatener, but after listening to him for few minutes, I hung up the receiver. I think he was the same person who called my wife later in the day"
 Bohme is acting consul pending the arrival of the new consul, Dr.. Herbert Scholz, who will succeed Kurt von Tippleskirtch, recalled Aug. 1.

 Unless some arrangements are made to hold trial of ordinary su- perior court cases in another build ing, the superior court docket will remain at a standStill. Common pleas court will function as usual, it is expected.
 The second and third floors of the county building are expected to be used almost exclusively for the trial Hearings will be conducted on the second floor and MT. Alcorn and his staff will use the third floor for headquarters. During his past few visits here he has spent consider able time on the top floor, where the grand jury held sessions.
 It has been suggested that rooms in the City Hall might be used for sessions of superior court or com- mon pleas court. No steps have been taken as yet to make altera- tions in the courthouse in prepara- ton for the trial.

Chess Club To Hold
 Two Local Tourneys
One to Be Open to All Members on Brass City Roster; { Other for Class and Players

all members of the club, but the second tournament is restricted to class B and 0 players only. Entries for these two events close at mid- night November 18th, and even though the announcement has just been made, already 2 entries have been received.
 The program for the coming week will keep all of the club players busy. On Monday evening from 8 to g p. m. King Keiller, president of the club, will conduct his weekly class for beginners. Immediately after the class, A. B. Barker, former champion of the club, will meet all of the members in a simultaneous exhibition. This opens the regular weekly Monday night program Next week there will be a rapid transit tournament.
 Friday evening at 8 p. m. the team of the Travellers club, last years champions of the Connecti- cut Chess League will meet the class B team of the Waterbury Chess club in the first of the local clubs inter city match schedule. This will be played at the club rooms at 168 East Main street and all are invited to witness this match between the local team and the boys from Hart ford. We have a strong team and should win.
 On Sunday, November 20th the Waterbury Chess club will entertain the Chadwick Chess club of Pough- keepsie, N. Y, in match on ten boards. MT. Chadwick after whom the club was named, is expected to make the trip with the team, and to some of the older chess players of the city, it will be an opportunity to renew old friendships. When chess was a regular feature at the Scoville club few years back, am told MT. Chadwick gave a simulta- neous exhibition at that club. Others remember him from some of the correspondence tournaments they have played in. In meeting MT. Bellome, captain of the local club team, on Board No. in the match he will no doubt meet a worthy adversary.
 Because of the pressure of other matters, the treasurer of the Water bury Chess club was forced to re- sign, and at special meeting of the board, William Kennedy was elected to fill that post and A. Campoli was elected to the office of financial secretary to assist him. These cleo tions will be ratified at the next meeting of the club members. They meet every Monday, Friday and Saturday at 168 East Main street.
