.1S WITNESSES
 FOR DEFENSE
Eleven Sessions Held in Conspiracy Trial; End
 Still Indefinite

Nineteen witnesses have taken the stand thus far in the three weeks of defense in the Waterbury conspiracy trial. Tn fourth week of the de- fense will open Tuesday, when the 97th session will be convened.
 Three defendants and former defendant are included among the 19 defense witnesses. There are 20 men on trial, one of whom took the stand for the state. The majority of the remaining 16 men are expected to be witnesses.
 The state called 60 witnesses in the presentation of its case, requir- ing 62 sessions. The defense thus far has presented 19 witnesses in II sessions.
 No definite conclusions can be drawn as to the probable length of the trial, which started almost eight months ago, November 29, 1888. Most predictions are that 1t will require the greater part of September, be- fore the trial is over.

FEDERAL ECONOMY TALK
AR0U5ING CONGRESSIONAL
INQUIRY MORE THAN EVER
BY MORGAN M. BEATTY
AP Feature Service Writer

WASHINGTON, April Are you
trying to decode the annual spring
habble about business and taxes?
Or are you trying to figure. out
the changing phrases yelling up
from Washington this year, such as
business appeasement and statutory
debt limit?
All right. let's throw out those
dollar-and a-half words, and bring
as much of this thing as we can
down to the familiar level of the
family budget.
Even though money comes and
goes by the billions, governmental
finance must face the same old
bugaboo that plaques father and
the family checkbook- making both
ends meet, or trying to.
For instance, the talk of economy
in Congress is comparable to the
family councils when the bills come
in Senator Pat Harrison's demand
for radical and substantial cut in
Federal expenditures is much like
father laying down the law about
living within the family income.
The. decision to go ahead with
Aunt jules operation or to buy the
new car on time and let the ex-
penses fall where they must. is
something like a New Dealer voting
appropriations because of the ur-
gency of relief and other modern
innovations.
