S21,784 BACK TAXES TAKEN IN IN THREE WEEKS E
City tO Fight DeIinquent's Attempt to Take Poor
 Debtors Oath

Back taxes totalling $21,- 784 have been collected in the past three weeks, Tax Collector William A. Ennis said today in reporting on the progress of the drive for collection of delinquent taxes. Approximately $130,00O in current taxes, assessments and water rents has been collected in the same period, he said.
 Assistant Corporation Counsel George s. Crocicchia will represent the city tomorrow in a hearing at New Haven County jail on the ap- plication of Samuel Kelman, of Lincoln street, to take the poor deb- tors oath. Kelman was jailed Tues day for failure to pay $l,400 in back taxes on personal property.
 The imprisonment was the first since the current drive for collection of back taxes began. Other arrests have been threatened, and approx imately 200 warrants have been is- sued by the tax collector. Tn addi- ton, scores of warnings that taxes must be paid have been given by City Sheriff Angelo J. Nardona.
 The city will fight Kelman's at- tempt to gain freedom from jail. Tn addition to Mir. Crocicchia, MT. Nar- dora and Raymond Clark, assistant to the tax collector, will attend the hearing.

A PICTURESQUE VARIATION OF OLD FAVORITE

By NEA Service
 New York-The American Waltz or waltzing in group formation Is the newest dance idea. And, ap- propriately enough, it's done to the strains of Peter de Roses Amer ican Waltz"
 According to Arthur Murray, dancing instructor who created the dance, the couples form a large circle on the dance floor, then each girl starts waltzing to the right with her own partner, CHARACTERISTIC
 NOVELTY
 At the end of 10 bars, she moves ahead to the next man, continu- ing to waltz in a large circle. She changes partners at the end of every 16 bars of the waltz music until she returns to her original partner. The entire circle contin- ues to waltz for another 16 bars.
 Then the music takes on a dou- bled Viennese tempo, and the teams reverse to the left, all keep ing their original partners, pivot ing and at the end finishing with a charming 18th century drawing room curtsy to the floor.
 This new Amreican waltz will be introduced to New York Society at the coming annual Christmas Charity Ball

Heavy Laure|s Are Sought
By Daniels, Marine Boxer

Maynard Daniels, Marine reserve
heavyweight, will arrive home from
California by plane tomorrow for
two weeks training at Quantico, Va,
and an Eastern ring campaign which
he hopes will lead to national recog-
milton.
Eddie Ross, rotund veteran of the
sport, will handle Daniels. and al
ready has challenged Jim Williams,
Bill Boyd, Jim Robinson, Buck
Everett, Gus Dorazio and Bob Pastor.
He wants them in that order to
bring the lad along toward a title
fight.
Daniels, who failed to click in this
precinct before heading West,
earned draw in his first California
appearance and suffered a broken
hand in so doing. But his last six
fights have ended in knockout
victories, and the big fellow was
singularly honored by being selected
to box on the card marking the
opening Of the Treasure Island
Auditorium at the San Francisco
Fair.
