CoxyFIoys Government s Finance
By FREDERICK C. OTIIMAN United Press Staff Correspondent


 Washington, March 2l-(UP)- Let us not smile at Gen, Jacob S. Coxey in his chin-swallowing collar, which makes him look like an H. luStration from an ancient edition of Dickens works,
 Let us respect him, rather, as did Sen. Alben w. Barkley of Ky, for devoting his life-t time to an idea. If the idea is cockeyed. and mind you, I'm not saying 1t is, that doesn't matter.s
 The General is 92 years old and he's still waging the battle he began in 1895 when he led Coxey's Army to Washington. He demanded then and he demands today that the gov ernment forget the high finance and. when 1t needs money, print some.
 Loan Witness
 For two weeks he sat among the spectators at the Banking and Cur rency Committees hearings into the proposed British loan. When all the big-shots had finished their testi- mony, Sen. Barkley called him as witness and apologized for mak- ing him wait so long.
 The white-thatched Gen. Coxey said that was all right; he said once he waited a year to see the late President Harding and when finally he got inside the White House for his appointment, the president ap- ologized for being 90 minutes late. T told him it didn't matter" the General said. The same applies in this case"
 It was then that Sen. Barkley proved himself to be a true Ken lucky gentleman. He did one of the kindeSt. most gracious things I yet have observed in the Senate. It was lunch time. The Senate was in ses- sion. All the evidence was in The other Senators were restless. Chair man Barkley ignored them. He earned my everlasting respect simply by allowing Gen. Coxey to make his speech.

Streets suggest ed for changes in parking are North Main Street between East Farm and Hill Streets, Baldwin Street be- tween Liberty and Bridge Streets, and from Liberty Street to Sylvan Avenue.
 Lifeline CrOsswalks
 Police Superintendent William J, Roach recommended to the Board that following a Public Works Board proposal that new pavements be laid on West Main Street from Wil- low Street to Exchange Place, that white crosswalk markers be laid at the time the pavement is construct ed He said that the markers, laid thusly, will last "a lifetime" A similar recommendation by Super insendent Roach was made for pavement repairs proposed for East Main Street from Exchange Place to Sacred Heart High School
 The recommendation were re- ferred to the traffic committee with the suggestion that the committee confer with the Works Board.

 Bouquet for Falvey
 At least one Waterbury Patrol man received the commendation of a local citizen. In a letter to the Board yesterday, Patrolman John J. Falvey was praised for possessing "the rare gift of tolerance and un- derstanding of children" Mrs. Helen L. Talbot of 1T Keefe Street informed the Board in @ letter that Officer Falvey was responsible for 8 remarkable change in the atti- tude and department of children in the Washington Park Community House"
 Patrolman Falvey, member of the department for 30 years, was re- gently assigned as officer -in- charge of the Community house.
 And even as one local patrolman received the plaudits of Waterbury citizens, another was the recipient of reprimand from the Board Patrohnan John Carmody was rep- rinanded by the Boards Committee on Men and Dicipline following the complaint of a local contractor that the officer was abusive and vulgar in his execution of duty.
