STATE TROOPERS
 ATTENDING TRIAL
Hickey Assigns Pl a i n- clothes Men to Attend
 Hearing

Two state troopers have been as- signed to the Waterbury conspiracy trial, and have attended the ses- sions regularly in plain clothes, &C., cording to reliable information ob- tained today. The troopers have re- mained inconspicuously among the spectators, prepared to avert any possible outbreaks from that area.
 It is understood that former County Detective Edward J. Hickey, now superintendent of state police, will assign larger group of troop CTS to the trial for the more cli- matic days ahead, when attorneys will argue to the jury, Judge Inglis will deliver his charge, and the jury will deliberate for verdict.
 For the past several weeks it has been noted that agents of the treas ury department have been absent from the trial, and from Waterbury. During the presentation of the states case, as many as ten agents were in Waterbury at one time, making the post office building their headquarters.
 0eVcldl VI tiic dBciiLo, dttdClicu O the income tax division of the treas ury department took notes during the states side of the trial. It is also known that several of the accused, and others censured by the grand jury have been questioned by the tax authorities.
 Whether or not any criminal charges will be lodged is not known, but no action is expected to be talk en until after the conspiracy trial is completed. It is also possible that government charges would be dropped if the accused made an ad- justment of delinquent taxes.
 Observers at the post office have noticed that the office generally used by the tax men has been virtually deserted the past three weeks.

The city's emergency fund, to be used only for relief purposes, will be reduced to $17,00o as a result of a vote by the economy committee of the Board of Finance last night. The committee voted to recommend transfer of 25,000 from the fund to the Welfare Department.
 Meantime, Welfare Department officials fear a possible relief crisis before the end of the year, with heavy jdemnds for aid expected as a result of WPA lay-offs in the city. Dismissal notices have already been given 500 men, with several hun- dred more in prospect.
 The economy committee, since almost the start of the year, has been pruning department budgets in an effort to raise funds for relief. This was done with the expectation that only normal relief problem faced the city. Where the large additional sums that will probably now be needed by the Welfare De- partment will come from is mys- tery.
 The finance board had been con- graduating itself as the case load of the Welfare Department began to show slight reductions, but the WPA dismissals will mean many new requests for city aid and bring heavy increases in the number of cases.
 The WPA is supposed to replace the men laid off with others from the relief rolls but no action along this line has yet been taken locally. But the replacements, apparently, will be only a fraction of the num-

Baer cooked his right and sent it

of dropping, Nova fought his way
