BEHIND The
TICKER

INV YORK - Amsterdam and
London say that liquidation Of
American shares will continue.
The private advices say thai bust
ness conditions In the United States
are disappointing. But since the
dollar is still the safest haven.
funds viii continue being shipped.
This agrees with previous ex-
elusive reports here along that
line. But the faetual confirmation
Of foreign digging in" with cash
was made by the treasury depart
which disclosed that money COM
ing recently into this country was
going only partially into securities
but substantially more into bank
DEPOSITS.
Long Time - The investment
banking house of Blair g. Co was
formed in 1890 In 1920 the firm
merged with William Solomon &
Co. but the name Of Blair was
retained. In 1929 the Giannini in
terests bought control of the Blair
firm and named it Bancamerica-
Blair Corporation. affiliate of the
Bank Of America.
That last name held even though
the National City bank later
bought control of the Bank OF
America. Now that the GiAnnini
interests have sold their control.
the firms name is to be changed
back to Blair & Co. on Feb. 81.
when stockholders meet TO approve
the action.
Answer-The big question of the
day is: Why did Mr. Selznick
choose to give the Scarlet lead
part in the pending motion picture
Gone With the Wind" 10 an Eng
lish actress when it is an American
story all through?
Here's the answer: All told. the
picture will run at cost of about
81, 600, 900. II is doubted - very
much so-whether American box
offices will collect that much. And
so, since Germany is restricting
film imports and Italy
has barred them. IL was wise to
capitalize on British box office
receipts which amount TO about
80 per cent of all revenues of i'm
portant American pictures.
In short, il was case OF miti-
eating the loss as much rs posi-
bic. At least, so say movie trade

'RaiIroadedIn' Shouts Egan In Angry Protest
Democrats Join Republi- cans in Asking for Delay
 in Final Decision
BY RAYMOND J. FITZPATRICK

BY RAYMOND J. FITZPATRICK
 Democrat Legislative Reporter)
 State Capitol, Hartford, Feb. IT, Sharp criticism of the city admin. istration and several present city boards and departments was made before the cities and boroughs com mittee of the legislature yesterday afternoon by Senator George T.. Culhane during hearing on his bill revising the present city char ter. Senator Culhane would amend 63 of the present charters 3l2 sec- tions, and drastically change the present city set-up, adding some of- fices and eliminating others.
 As Senator Culhane completed explaining his lengthy bill, Senator Edward P. Egan of Waterbury charged that the measure had been 'railroaded in here," and asked that action be delayed until the people had 8 chance to study the proposed changes. The charter change bill had been filed in blank form, and its text was not known until yes- terday.
 Claims Attorney Vincent Scully, Republican Town Chairman J. War ren Upson and Controller Sherwood Rowland all asked that action be delayed, saying that they had not

 T never thought any medicine could change my feelings so much in such a short time as a few bottles of Vendol have done" said Mrs. Doris Marsh of l12 Savings St., Wa terbury, to the Vendol Man a few days ago in Apothecaries Hall Go, where people return daily to tell him how this mixture of Natures Roots and Herbs with Alkalines has done them so much good.
 T had been troubled long time with constipation which kept me taking laxatives almost every night and 1t was thls condition that brought on the other troubles that worried me almost daily. :.
 T had a backache that made It almost torture for me to bend over and even more difficult to straighten up again; my food simply wouldn't digest properly, but formed bloating gas and made me feel as though ! were going to lose the meal entire ly: my nerves were in state that kept me feeling jumpy and cross during the day and made sleep al- most impossible at night, and I'd usually wake up feeling tired, worn- out and sluggish, and often with c bad headache.

Chairman of Local G. O. P. Committee Protests Senator Gull hane's Charter Changes.
 heard the terms of the bill until yesterday.
 "Different Type"
 Attacking the board of finance, Senator Culhane said: My purpose Is to get a little different type board of finance than we've had the last eight years. Not all of them, but certain members of the board of finance have been members for, per- sonal gains for their organizations or corporations"
 His bill sets up a salary of $500 year for finance board members, and reduces the appointed person. mel from seven to flee.
 The Culhanc amended charter would establish the offices of direc- tor of the budget and director of purchases. The budget director would be an experienced account ant, while the purchasing director would assume many duties now held by the controller.
 The bill includes sections aimed at illegal voting and provides that voting machines shall be used in primaries. No more than three al- dermen from each ward could be nominated by any party. The board of tax relief would become the board of tax review.
 Higher Bonds
 City officials would take office the Monday after election. There was "chaos" two years ago, Senator Culhane said, when city officials held over til January. Higher bonds would be required of off, cials.
 Failure of officers to turn over complete records to their successors would be punishable by a fine of $25,000 or 10 years imprisonment. This, he said. would eliminate con- fusion caused by missing records.
 The city's legal staff would con- sist only of a corporation counsel and assistant. This will eliminate non- working members of the cor poration counsels staff," Senator Culhane said
 There would be only one city court prosecutor, one, clerk and one probation officer, all to work full time. Board members could not sell materials, supplies or services to the department governed by their board but could sell to other departments.
 The budget director would re- ceive $6.000 a year and audit the books of all departments. Alder men could remove city officials by a majority vote. The mayors veto could be overridden by a majority vote. No claims could be paid by the city unless approved by the corporation counsel.
 Mayors Powers
 The aldermen could decide the number of policemen and firemen needed. The mayor would have the power to fill all appointive posi- tons in the city government, and supervise all city offices. The fi- nance board would consist of five members appointed by the mayor, also the mayor, the controller, the budget director and the president of the board of aldermen.
 The director of purchases would do all city buying, by contract, with at least three bids required.
 The reason for this section does not in any way reflect on the pres ent controller" said Senator Gull hane. I'm going back 20 years, through three administrations. The whole trouble with the City of Wa terbury has lain in the office of the controller and in the fact that the controller has done all the city buying"

 Reinstatements
 Another section would allow the reinstatement of retired policemen and firemen. Police or fire pen- sions could be taken away only by unanimous board votes. "These re- tirements were unfair, very unfair to faithful men; it should never be allowed to happen again"

Moral Embargo
Put On Airplane
Fuel Facilities

WASHINGTON - The admins
tration's moral embargo" on the
sale of airplanes to nations bomb
ing civilian populations was ex-
tended Wednesday by the state
department to cover plans, plants,
manufacturing rights, or technical
information needed to produce
high quality aviation fuel.
No embargo was imposed
against the sale of airplane gaso-
line itself. This question had been
raised earlier at one Of Secretary
of State Cordell Hull's press con-
ferences, and he replied then that
such an embargo would be unnec-
essary II the nations involved did
not have planes to use-the objee-
tive Of the embargo on plane sales.
All American oil companies have
been informed of the governments
request not TO provide technical
facilities for manufacture of AVA
