ITALY CONTROLS
 CROATIAN COAST
Government Found It Was Necessary to Take Over
 Full Command

Rome, Aug. B 23-CUP)- The offi- cial news agency Stefani issued a communique dated zagreb, Croatia, today that the Italian government had found it necessary to place the entire Croatian coast from Plume to Montenegro under 1tal- ian military occupation.
 (Stockholm dispatches two days ago reported that Italian forces oc- cupying Croatia had been meeting resistance. The report was said 10 have come from Berlin, where it was admitted that Italy had been negotiating to extend her garrison area in Croatia)
 (Other reports recently have said that Croatia was gripped by guer- rilla warfare. It was reported that Ante Pavelich, head of the Croat government, had warned Benito MuSSolini that the Duke of Spoleto, designated King Aimone I of Croa- tia, should not attempt to enter the country. Pavelich was report ed to have said he could not guar antee the Dukes life. Croatia, for merly part of Jugoslavia and rec ognized as independent" by Ger many and Italy, has been reportsd officially as the scene of com munist" demonstrations against the Croat army, known as the Ustachi. Italian officials recently were re- ported to be fleeing the country)

$500, ,OOO In Federal Grant Asked By City
Formal Application Was Made Today, Signed By Mayor Scully-New Dam, Reservoir, ChlOrina-
 ton Plant at Morris

The City of Waterbury today filed formal application for a $500 900 fed- eral grant under the Lanham Com munity Service act, the money to be used for constructing new dam, reservoir and chlorination plant at Morris. The application, signed by Mayor Vincent A. Scully, asks the government to meet 60 per cent of the total estimated cost of 1000, 900.
 Construction of the dam, reservoir and chlorination plant makes up the second portion of the city's $2,000, 900 water supply expansion project. The first portion is the second pipe line from Morris, now under construc- ton at contract price of $894, ,000.
 The Lanham Act, passed by Con- gress some weeks ago. makes gov- ernment funds available, via the Federal Works Agency, for badly needed projects in communities in defense areas. An amendment of- fered by Congressman J. Joseph Smith, added to the bill, made this

GASOLINE PRICE
 CLIMBS IN MASS.
Protests Made With Threat of Prosecution If Raise
 Is Carried Out

Boston, Aug. 23-CUP)-Gasoline prices climbed one cent a gallon n Massachusetts today despite pro- tests and threat of possible prose- cution.
 Director John P. Mcbride of the State NecessarieS of Life division asked Atty. Gen. Robert T. Busn- nell to investigate the price rise from IT 1-2 to IS 1-2 cents a gall lon which was approved after a four-hour meeting by the Conserva- tion committee of the Massachus- etts Gasoline Dealers association.
 Mcbride believed the increase H. legal since wholesale prices had not advanced. Dealers, however, indi- cated that further advances might follow should a threatened 30 per cent cut in supplies be effected.
 Since Aug. l6, dealers in r east ern seaboard states have been re- ceiving only 60 per cent of their regular supplies.
 McBride described as "unreason- able" increases of from two to three cents a gallon which were instituted yesterday by gasoline stations in Gardner, LeominsteE and E1tchburg.

CITY BUDGET TO

Taxpayers Association to Study Appropriations at
 Board Meetings

The Waterbury Taxpayers asso- ciation will make a careful study of proposed appropriations in the city budget for 1922 and will be repre- sented at finance board meetings this fall when the budget is under discussion. According to Raymond P. Botch, executive director, the aS- sociation will ask that recommenda- tionS that 1t has already made or may make be considered by the fi- nance board during the period of budget preparation.
 MT. Botch is now making a spe- cial survey of a proposed munich pal system of rubbish removal. Such a plan was proposed some months ago by local community clubs but action was delayed pending a re- port by 8 special city commission named by Mayor Vincent A. Scully. Mir. Botch says that the purpose of his survey is to assemble all peTti- nent facts on the proposal rather than to make any specific recom- mendatiorS for or against munich pal rubbish collection.
 Pay Increases
 Requests by city employees for pay increases will be a principal prob- lem in the preparation of the budget

GAS STATIONS
 IN QUANDARY
Local Dealers Affected By OPercent Cut, May Get
 Another Labor Day

Waterbury gasoline dealers and motorists, already affected by the 10 per cent reduction in the sup plies allotted stations, today faced the threat of another 10 per cent slash after Labor Day. It was re- ported from New York today that the Eastern Petroleum Marketing Board has recommended to Wash ington that deliveries to stations by distributors be cut down an ad- ditional 10 per cent. Dealers say this would mean a reduction of as much as 40 per cent in the amount of gas available for private cars, since much of the available sup ply is earmarked for busses, trucks, fire apparatus and similar vehi- cles.
 Local stations, which for several weeks have been closing daily at 2 p. m., will close at p. m. to- morrow in. an effort to conserve their supply, this step having been voted by the Waterbury Gasoline Retailers association. Ga asoline prices have been advanced one cent or more by majority of sta- tions to meet the loss of gallonage.
 Motor Trips Curtailed
 Motor trips over the Labor Day weekend will be sharply curtailed as a result of the 10 per cent re- duction in deliveries now in effect. Stations affiliated with the asso- citation are trying to help their customers meet this situation by issuing courtesy cards which will be honored by many stations in nearby states.
 Faced with the necessity of mak- ing their present supplies last until Sept. l, many stations are selling no more than five gallons of gaso- line to customers. In some cases, the limit is three gallons or less.
 The proposed additional 10 per cent reduction in deliveries, like the present 10 per cent reduction, will be based on the amount pur-

Two Investigations Are Underway to Purge
 Conditions

Hartford, Conn.,, August g. = CUP) Two investigations were directed toward conditions among Connecticut tobacco workers today as result of a charge by Labor Com missioner Cornelius J. Danaher that the morals, safety and health of many children were being placed in jeopardy.
 Ralph c. Lasbury, Jr., chairman of the Connecticut Agricultural De- fense Labor Committee, assured the commissioner he was anxious to have the appalling situation cited in your letter regulated inmedi- ately," and called a conference of involved parties for Monday.
 Meanwhile, the State Health De- pertinent undertook a survey of drinking water and sewage facili- ties after Danaher charged that a common drinking cup was used on one plantation where the owner re- portedly claimed some of the work CTS were diseased.
 Hundreds of school children, some as young as 8 years, Danaher de- clared, were employed on the plan tations. Workers in many in- stances, he said, were not segregated and conditions in general were found "intolerable and disgraceful.' T
 Lasbury told the commissioner the Defense Labor Committee "feels a very definite responsibility toward the school youth of Connecticut be- cause 1t has encouraged this youth to play c very major part in the harvesting of Connectlcut's very valuable crops this season"
 Tn arranging for the conferenca Monday, Lasbury said, T am sure that c clear discussion of the prob. lem will bring about the cooperation of the growers which you desire"

 Simultaneously, the German army command in Paris ordered that all Frenchmen arrested from today on held as hostages, to be shot in numbers corresponding to the gray ity of any future criminal acts" against the German occupation forces.

Consequently, I order, first, that from August g, all French arrested by German au- thoritieS in France, or who are ar rested for the German authorities. will be considered as hostages, sec ond, in case of any criminal acts, a number of hostages corresponding to the gravity of the acts commit ted will be shot.

 Year Sentence PRESIDENT MIGHT
 LIGHTEN SENTENCE John Habinyah Had Been Most InsubOrdinate; He
 Doesn't Deny Guilt

Fort Bragg, N. C., August g. - (UP) - Army officers said today there was no appeal from the 1O-year prison sentence given John Habinyak, 26, a draftee, for refusing to obey orders, but t h at President Roosevelt must review the sentence and he is empowered to tighten it. Habinyak had pleaded guilty to all six charges of Characterization against him, making an appeal impossible under Army regu1ations. Major s. E. Murrell, judge advocate of the post alx1ang the severity of the sentence, said Hibinyak had "con- tinually refused to obey orders," and that had it not been for the draf- tees attitude, his offenses might have been considered minor. The charges were that he spat on the floor of the mess hall and refused an officers order to clean it up; that he refused commands to clean his mess kit, to clean the floor near his bed, and to pick up pieces of concrete.
 A digest of the court martial pro- ceedings made public yesterday eve- ming reveal taht Habinyak told Army officers he had earned $10 8 day in civilian life and would not work for $21 8 month in the Army.
 No Talk Allowed
 As the arguments over the pro- priety of the severe sentence reached Congress, Army officers refused. to let newspapermen here talk to the prisoner. They ordered military police to see that he was not mo- tested" and refused to say when he
