The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-03-26

CContinued from Page D made by Justice Maltbie, that he is of the opinion that the probe will not last many more days before criminal action Is started.
 With Judge Inglis in Waterbury he will be handy to the grand jury and Special Prosecutor Alcorn for the issuance of bench warrants, if that be necessary, and then for future trial of those indicated.
 A portion of Justice Maltbie's let ter to Clerk Freeman today follows:
 T am enclosing an assignment changing the judge to hold court the spring session in your court. from Judge Wynne to Judge In- glis."
 "The reason for this is that as Judge Inglis has begun with the grand jury Investigation in Water bury 1t seems unwise to have an- other judge take over at this time and the regular assignment of Judge Inglis would take him to Bridgeport-TOO FAR AWAY TO MAKE IT EASY FOR HIM TO AT TEND TO ANY MATTERS THAT MIGHT COME UP AT WATER BURY"
 No short calendar session of court will be conducted here Friday, as Judge Inglis will not be available until April 5.
 It is assumed that Judge Wynnt will substitute for Judge Inglis at Bridgeport for the spring session.

 Donald's mother, the wife of a retired army officer said:
 "They were just two babies who didn't know what it was all about. feel as though had been doubly bereft. She was just like my own daughter"
 AS the two families united, Don- aid tossed on jail cot, unable to get the remembrance of the dying Charlotte out of his mind. He had been in the police lineup, arraigned for homicide and held without bail, and had been made to recite again the details of the tragedy.
 Both of us felt around to find Charlotte's heartbeat and the best place to aim at," he told District Attorney Charles P. Sullivan.
 q told Charlotte to hold her breath for second and them re- sume breathing, and from the re- newed humping of the heart we decided where to place the shot.
 Charlotte wanted to fire the shot herself. She kept telling me not to die, that 1t was not necessary, but she only wanted to die. Both of us placed the muzzle of the gun against Charlotte's heart. She was holding on to the barrel, and I pulled the trigger"

Smaller Business
 Units Meet Monday
Reports on Current Developments in Washington to Feature Executive Committee Session in Boston

several important actions effecting smaller business on a national scale.
 Among the later are: the Execu- tive Committees letter of March 14th to Sec. of Commerce Daniel c. Ropper strongly protesting his opin- ion, echoed by President Roosevelt, that small business men of the country are lacking in self-help", and offering the Administration proof, in the form of specific sug- gestions, that smaller business knows a thing or two about how to solve present adverse economic con- ditions. Defeat of the Reorganiza- tion Bill, repeal of the undivided profits tax, modified ton of the ca pital gains tax, modification of the Social Security Law, simplification of tax returns, adequate protection of the American wage scale and the American standard of living against a flood of imports from low wage scale countries, and a true state- ment of the Administration cur- rency and budget policies, have all been clearly expressed through of ficial communications to proper parties in Washington. Effect of this pressure is showing up in news from Washington almost daily.

JURY'S SCOPE
 MAY BE LIMITED
Continued from Page D

Continued from Page D
 portion deals with the jury's scope of investigation. It is as follows:
 Scope of Investigation
 "Now, just word or two as to the general scope of your investiga- ton. You have been called primar- fly to investigate the administra- tion of municipal affairs in the city of Waterbury, Whether or not the special prosecutor has in mind any specific crimes, which he thinks may have been committed I do not know. If he has I doubt not that he will tell you what they are and it will be your duty to investigate them. If he has not It will likewise be your duty to make a thorough examination to determine whether any crimes have been committed. As you proceed in your investiga- ton something may turn up in one line of your inquiry which will in- dicate that some other matter should be investigated. If so 1t is your duty to press an investigation along that other line. In short you are the sole judges as to what your investigation should go into. It is great responsibility which you have. You have available for your assis- tance and use all of the resources which are reasonably necessary. It is your duty to go as far as is necessary to detect any crimes if such have been committed. On the other hand you should not incur needless expense and if you at any time after g. careful investigation become satisfied that further inves- tigation would be fruitless, you, of course should stop"

 "It would raise the level of ar- tistic standards ill Westport," saiG Mrs. Roger Williams, a resident.
 The zoning board of appeals lis- tened attentively to testimony from scores of persons. Earlier in the week a building permit for the project, already under way, was denied. That resulted in the special town meeting last night. V sn it was over the appeals board It erved de- cision.
 Mrs. Lauren Arnold, one of the opposition, who feared the stadium would be used for other things than musical events, said:
 we are looking for the simple life. We can trust MT. Powers use of power but 1t would be just like giving power to Roosevelt; we don't know what's going to happen next"
 Mrs. Mateel Howe Farnham, a prominent novelist, said she didn't want fame and glory" for Vest port.
 Her husband commented: we are greatly worried that Westport will turn into another Yale bowl, Yan- kee stadium or Jones Beach area"
 Oppositionists asserted the sta- dium might be used for boxing matches, among other things.
 Can anybody" replied Herbert A. Delima, Darien, a sponsor, imagine Lawrence Tibbett finishing a song and having 1t announced The winner-LaWrence Tibbett!'"
 Whoever has seen a boxing match in the middle of the water?' Mrs. J. Randolph Bray ridiculed.
 Another sponsor objected to MT. Roosevelt's name being brought in She was Mrs. Karl Anderson, an artists wife, who cried: T resent bringing Roosevelt into this. We are concerned with & music project, not political one"
 Boos and misses frequently inter- rupted the meeting. It lasted for three hours. The zoning board has a month to make up its mind.

cent on undistributed profits. In event they are distributed, the stockholder pays 70 per cent on the amount he receives. In addition, the personal holding company must pay the ordinary federal corporation tax of 16 per cent.
 Proponents of change cited tes- timony given at committee hearings which held that "prohibitive" tax rates on personal holding compan- ies had stified the flow of hun dreds of millions of dollars.
 The high rates, they contended, also prevented liquidation of the companies, since the tax upon gains resulting from dissolution might ex- ceed the amount of cash involved. One witness at the public hearings testified that if the restrictions on liquidation were removed 90 per cent of the companies would dis appear before the end of 1888.
 The American Bar Association has suggested an amendment to provide for dissolution of personal holding companies within given limit of time without taxing them for liquidation. Instead, the corpor- ation would pay the tax when the stockholder liquidated the assets that he had received in the distri- button as result of dissolution. Meanwhile, Majority Leader AL ben w. Barkley, D., Ky, expected a report on the tax bill by Thurs day and predicted it's passage after a week of debate.
