LETTER OF PRAISE
 FOR COP. LEADER
John McHugh; COnvalesc= ing from Operation Com=
 mended for Efforts

John McHugh, president of the Irish Republican club, who recent ly underwent an operation at the Waterbury hospital, was reported greatly improved today and is ex- pected to be discharged shortly from the institution. Coincidental with the hospitals report today came a statement from member of the Irish G. O. P. club, reviewing Mir McHugh's activities and penning a few words of praise for leader, who has worked tirelessly for the party and who has never attempted to seek honors.
 The statement is as follows:
 For the past 12 to 13 days since John McHugh, president of the Irish Republican club underwent a very serious operation the mem- bery of the club have been eagerly watching the reports on his condi- ton, issued from the hospital. Now that the danger is passed, they are anticipating his rapid recovery and return to his duties as head of the club he organized. To say he has been missed is putting it mildly. MT. McHugh has gained the confi- dence of the fastest growing Republican organization in the state by his untiring efforts in their behalf, never once con- sidering his efforts worthy of a place on the ticket-always insisting that he has no desire to be a candidate for any office; his sole ambition being a united harmo- nious party working for the benefit of the public. AS one very promi- nent Republican remarked a short time ago-should the Republican party offer an award to person ex- erting the most effort and doing the most constructive work for the par ty, Jack McHugh would certainly merit the award, stating further to his knowledge of over 20 years he has never heard of MT. McHugh asking anything to benefit himself. MT. McHugh was the first person in Waterbury to predict big things for Joe Talbot of Naugatuck and when MT. Talbot was questioned on MT. McHugh's interest he remarked, solely true friendship. can person. ally say that MT. McHugh has never asked me for even the right time. It is too bad there are not a great many more like John in the party. instead of some of the false alarms, always seeking honors or positions regardless of what they are, who have nothing back of them but a scheming mind and silly tongue. One thing is certain, these people are marked and will find, this year that the town chairman of Water bury will not be caught mapping and that they will have to earn their spurs or make way for those who really are interested in the party and not interested in per- sonal gain.

NEW YORK, Feb. 4-Stock mar
ket leaders ended the week on an
upward slant in today's brief ses-
sion.
Virtually all groups participated
in the resumption OF the recovery
push, with gains running to 2 or
more points at the best. A little
profit taking at the close reduced
top marks in most cases.
The Associated Press average of
60 stocks was up O4 of point at
5O4. On the week this composite
showed a net gain of % points, its
best performance since the week
ending October 8. The comeback
followed four consecutive weekly de-
clines.
Volume picked up bit on the
forward swing, with transfers for
the two hours totaling 486, ,160
shares against 582, $50 week ago.
The weeks turnover, however, was
the smallest since the period ending
September 10, amounting roughly
to 100000 shares, compared with
some 100000 in the preceding
week.

And Favorable Laws

BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Feb. 4.-Manufac-
turers and capitalists were advised
today by Lamont du Pont. president
of E. I. du Pont de Nemours & Co.,
that courageous investment of ven-
| ture capital under attractive legis-
lation would lead to solution of the
unemployment problem and to new
prosperity in the United States.
He referred to his company's ex-
penditures for scientific research
and invention, saying: For many
years the company's consistent ad-
herence to this policy has produced
healthy growth and new jobs.
1T is believed, therefore, that
adoption of similar policy by in
dustry as whole would be an
important contribution toward a
solution of the Nations unemploy-
ment problem.
In addition to establishment of
new industries changes must be ef-
fected in old industries aimed at
further reducing wastes and costs.
This is task that involves re-
placement of billions of dollars
worth of Worn-out or obsolete equip
ment with more efficient tools of
production.
Sees Vast Needs.
I'm 1886 the Brookings Institu-
ton estimated that between Is and
80 billions of dollars would be re-
quired to make up the deficiency in
durable goods alone that had ac-
cumulated to that date. largely be-
cause of postponed repairs and re-
placements.
According to the same authority
this tremendous task, still undone,
would supply jobs to approximate
100000 of the unemployed for a
period of five years, and the entire
employment resources of the Ma
ton would be strained If all parts
of the productive machinery were
restored to normal efficiency and
the pre-depression trend of produc-
ton were resumed.

ment of venture capitalize cap

terprises. be the risks what they
may-but such capital is hesitant
because the prospective return is
not worth the hazard.
Encouragement Urged.
"Under wise tax laws and care
fully considered regulatory legisla-
ton, idle capital would be released
for the purposes for which it is so
urgently required-to rebuild obso-
lescent plants. establish new plants
and encourage much needed de-
velopments that would make pos
sible lower costs to the consumer

The Interstate Commerce Com

intermediate points. The commits

them.
