of the government, whose existence Is threatened, has gotten up some scheme to prove Its worthiness as a defense project.
 "The magnitude of the defense program staggers the imagination. Tn the near future, we may expect a national debt of SO billion and maybe $i00 billion which is in addi- ton. to an existing state and local daht of $20 billion. This represents an average debt load of between $3000 and $40O0 for every single fam- fly in the whole country" Tn regard to this burden Mir. Disney said the old slogan, Soak the Rich, has ceas- cd to be realistic. For if the govern ment took every dime of all indiv- idual net incomes in the United States over $S,000, 1t would yield less than enough money even to pay cur rent, normal annual expenses.
 Quoting Marshal petain following the French debacle, After our vic- tory in 1918 we became Q comfort able, pleasure seeking nation. We asked for more than we were will- ing to give. We refused to accept responsibility. Now we are In dis- tress,' Representative Disney called upon the little people of America, who in their own lives are respon- sible and prudent and who must eventually bear all the ballooned costs of their government, not to follow in the prodigal, fatal steps of the people of France.

WATER SERVICE NORMAL TODAY
Few Complaints Voiced as to ClOudiness; Pipe Line,
 Break Repaired

The city water department report ed that service from the Shepaug was back to normal today adn that the water was gin cler. City wter was muddy and cloudy yesterdy fol- lowing repairs which were made early in the day after a break in the pipe line had been discovered. The city ha sissued calls for bids for the construction of a new pipe line, to supplement hte present one, which was built in 1894.
 Complaints about water which were received nlarge number by the water department yesterday, were missing today. Many householders were mystified as to the cuase of the cloudiness of the water.
 The break developed Tuesday in the line between Reynolds Bridge and Jericho Bridge. Work was delay ed until after midnight so that the least inconvenience might be caused, since 1t was necessary to shut off water service to most parts of the city while the repairs were being made.
 Officials said that the pipe line break brought home forcefully the need for another line from the She- paug, pointing out that a more ser- ious break might deprive much of the city of water service for an in definite period.
