Reichsbank Head Goes Home
 En,pty-Handed
BY MILTON BRONNER NEA Service Staff CorresuOndent

NEA 0CIViCG 0tdkk OOKECSpUuucub
 London, Jan. 5-If there were a prize given each year for sheer mo- numental gall, its winner for the year 1888 would probably be Dr.. Hjalmar Schacht, head of the Ger man Reichsbank.
 His long, swan-like neck as rls- ual encased in his very high, old- fashioned stand-up collar and black tie, Dr. Schacht recently came slip ping into London to see his good friends in "The City," England's Wall street. Then he slipped out again to report to his boss, Field Marshal Goering. The rumor is that he came, saw, but did not con- quer, in spite of the fact that there has always been very strong pro- German element in the City.
 It is pretty well authenticated that Dr. Schacht, not of his own volition, came to London with a plan not of his own devising. But the NaZi bosses wanted him to spring it. From the Nazi stand- point it was a clever scheme to link up Germany's persecution of its Jews with Germany's need for more sales abroad and, consequently, more foreign exchange with which to buy raw materials that it badly needs for the furtherance of its gigantic armament plans.
 Briefly, Germany wants to get rid of its Jewish population. But

FIREMEN'S BILLS
 DISCUSSED AGAIN
Several New Measures to Be Introduced at Legis-
 lature Shortly

Proposed bills affecting firemen were discussed yesterday at meet ing of the legislative committee of the Connecticut State Firemen's Association at Hartford. Several measures of interest to firemen will be introduced within the next few weeks at the legislature.
 Waterbury was represented at the state meeting by Private John Gra- ham, president of the state associa- tion; Lieutenant James Mccoy and Private Frank Moore, both members of the committee.
 One bill would free drivers of ap- paratus from personal liability for accidents occurring while on the way to a fire. This was recom- mended at last years state conven- tion in Milford.
 The committee will meet with the executive board of the association at Hartford next Wednesday.

Nazi Plan to Make Capital Of Jews Plight Gets Cold Shoulder in London 'tCity"

Jews, has sought to find new homes for them and has sought to raise money to aid the refugees.
 That gave Nazi leaders a new thought. The trial balloon scheme which Schacht flew in London was about as follows:
 Germany would merge into one central fund the proceeds of all German Jewish capital and prop erty. This would, of course, pro- vide Germany internationally with plenty of fresh money for its treas ury.
 When the amount of this was es- tablished, an. international loan should be raised in the United States, Great Britain, Holland and other countries synpathizing with the plight of the German Jews.
 Jews leaving Germany would be granted certificates enabling them to draw on the international loan for the equivalent of part of their capital. They would thus not be completely pauperized when they reached countries willing to take them in.
 But -Germany's repayment of the interest and principal of the loan would be dependent upon an increase in Germany's exports. Part of the money received from the in- crease in exports would be devoted to service of the loan. Part, would be used in purchasing Germany's needed rearmament raw materials.
 The plan-if the outside world will be so foolish as to accept it. would not only assist the Nazis ra- pid1y to get rid of all their Jewish people, but would break down the tariff walls of other countries and utterly smash the present anti German boycott. Germany would cost her little or nothing.

"The number of superior court judges should be increased" said Governor Raymond E. Baldwin yes- terday as he became Connecticut's 69th governor, mid colorful cere- monies at Hartford.
 Governor Baldwin merely gave utterance to beliefs of members of the Connecticut Bar Association, who have been conscious of 8 short age of superior court judges for some time past.
 Fourteen Judges
 Fourteen superior court judges now preside at sessions in the eight Connecticut counties, in courts at Hartford, New Haven, Waterbury, Bridgeport, New Lon- don. Middletown, Rockville, Litch- field, Putnam and Willimantic.
 Deluge of litigation on the dock cts of the superior court cases at many seasons is too heavy for the IA judges to handle in manner which will keep the docket running smoothly. Hartford county attor- neys recently gave voice to their belief that some action should be taken concerning the tie-up in their docket.
 The situation was reflected in Waterbury last month, when, with the start of the Waterbury con- spiracy trial, all regular court hear ings were cancelled because of the lack of a judge.
 Terms of three superior court judges expire this year, namely, Frank P. McEvoy of Waterbury; Patrick B. O'Sullivan of Orange, both Democrats and Arthur F. ELS of Litchfield, Republican.
 The yearly salary of a superior court judge is $12,000.

when telephone service costs so little? All winter you can keep in touch with family and friends without leaving the warmth of your own home.

 "Any telephone employee is always glad to give you full in- formation about telephone ser vice. If one of them does not happen to live in your neighbor- hood, drop in at our business office. We will try to. help you in every way we can. You will be glad you investigated a service which thousands of Connecticut people are enjoying at a cost of only a few pennies a day" The Southern New England Telephone Company.

Bridgeport, January 5-A local woman, who is this winter en- toying telephone service in her home for the first time, took much pleasure in defying/ the recent cold spell.

For what ever the weather may be, can always do my shopping and other errands in solid comfort by telephone. And when my favorite store advertises a bar gain sale, ice and snow can't stop me from saving money. I just pick up my telephone e-and let it do the work!"
