mittee is reported to be opposed to
Gripping the national labor relations
and the wage-hour acts.
Social Security Program
President Roosevelt is reported to
have asked some of his brain trusters
to prepare for him broad social Sc
curity program. Inasmuch as it is too
late to submit such a program to the
present congress, it is safe to assume
that it is intended for the 1910 cam
|paign.
This is subject to two interpreta-
lions. One is that F. D. R. intends
to run again and is preparing domes-
tic issues designed to win back some
of the liberals who went cold" be-
cause of the reduced administration
budget for relief and social services.
The other is that, at all events, Roose-
welt intends to have a say in shaping
the democratic platform and seeing to
it that the new deal is not scrapped.
Wallace Opposes Credit
Extension to Allies; Favors
More SeIf-Contained Economy
Word has leaked out that discus
sions have taken place and differences
of opinion have developed at recent
meetings of the cabinet as to what
course this country should adopt when
the Allies have exhausted their dollar
exchange and are forced to reduce
their purchases of war supplies.
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace is
reported leading the cabinet bloc op-
posed to any extension of credit to
the Allies that might ultimately in
volve this country in the war in Eur
ope.
Wallace, it is said, favors taking
steps to change our national economy
to meet the situation-a more self
contained economy than we now have.

IMMEDIATE CONSIDERATION OF
THE ANTI-LYNCHING BILL.
With congress planning adjourn
ment early in June, the calling up OF
the anti-lynching bill would throw
everything in the proverbial cooked
hat. and thus prevent enactment OF
anti-labor legislation which the admin

ern senators are prepared to flllDuster
for weeks against the anti-lynchlng
bill.
The above strategy, this column is
reliably informed, has been a subject
of discussion among certain senate
leaders, and is looked upon favoraDly.
Its employment will depend upon
whether there appears to be real dan
ger that the senate will follow the
house on the road to reaction. Thus
far the upper house has proven
stumbling block to the reactionary de-
signs of the lower house, but pres
sure from organized business has been
becoming more intence all the time,
and there's no telling when it sue

Claiming that Garland Terrell, alias Buster Terrell, 20, colored, of 19S Bishop street, who was ar- rested at CCC Camp Fernow, Eastford, Friday, in connection with the murder of 8 white man in North Carolina last year, would not receive fair trial in Raleigh, N. C., Rev. Charles X. Hutchin- son has moved to bring the case before Governor Raymond E. Baldwin.
 The youth, who had made his home here with . brother Gordon Terrell, 23, is wanted at Raleigh for the staying of William Henry Monk last Oct. 21. He was arrested Friday at the CCC camp, where he was working, after Captain Joseph F. Stevens, of this city, sent word to the Danielson state police that the youth was prob ably at the camp.
 Rev. MT. Hutchinson, who is a Danielson Methodist clergyman, said he doubted that the colored man would receive a just trial in North Carolina because of his race.

u. s. TREASURY
 CLAIMS S2,O0O
Atty Warehouse Must Wait Decision From
 Washington, D. C.

A claim, lodged by the United States Treasury Department, has temporarily blocked the claim of Frederick Waterhouse for &2.00o from the trustee of bankruptcy for the Eastern Brewing Company. The local lawyer charges that former comptroller, Daniel J. Leary. assign ed him the money.
 Tn view of the governments claim on the money, Bankruptcy Referee Walter F. Torrance has set August 26th for hearing at which time both Atty. Waterhouse and Treasury Department Officials will be given a chance to appeal to state their claims to the money.
 Atty. Warehouse appeared before Referee Torrance one week ago to- day and asked the referee to order Trustee Frederick J. Dalton to turn the money over to him under an aS- signment from the former cornptrol- Ter.
 Leary furnished the brewery the money year ago last month to be used as collateral for an excise tax bond which is no longer in effect. The referee was told that the money was neither a gift nor loan to the Eastern Brewing Company. Last spring the Treasury Depart ment lodged a lien against all of Leary's property for income taxes alleged to have been due. The gov- ernment, however, believes that their claim should take procedure over that of the lawyers.
 Collector of Internal Revenue for Connecticut, Thomas Smith, has referred the matter to Washington. The filing of papers with the trus- tee followed.

New York, July 22-(Up)-The stock market entered its fourth week of stalemate today, dealings dWdndling to the smallest total since the World War.
 Price movements were mostly con- fined to fractions. Near closing time some leading shares showed . firmer tendency.
 Commodities were mixed in de- sultory trading. Wheat closed with losses ranging to cent at Chicago with the July option at a new sea- sonal low. Corn, however, had gains ranging to 7.s cent. Cotton, wool tops, cocoa, and copper were slightly easier.
 Bonds generally were featureless. Sterling eased few cents in a thin free" foreign exchange market here.
 Brokers said the contraction in trading volume from the slow pace of last week largely reflected the de- sire of many operators to stay out of the market pending Britain's of- ficial answer to Hitler's peace or destruction" speech.
 Kennecott and Loft provided about the only trading features. Around 1 p. m. grouped block of 2l,000 shares of Kennecott appeared on the tape at 24 5-8, off 5-S. Inform ed quarters said the transaction represented a negotiated sale by British interests. Near closing time the issue came back to around its previous close. Loft vas driven down more than a point to below 2l by selling attributed one big ace count but this issue, too, came back to near its previous close.

be pronounced by Secretary Hull or by

that fine words work wonders when their

were answered in Japan's favor.
Despite the difficulties involved in a
