WASHINGTON. Dec. 8. — (AP) The nation has attained a record level of income. and there is likely to be no ebbing of the high tide of prosperity. Secretary Mellon report- ed to Congress today in his annual review of treasury activities. At the same time he virtually closed the door to revision of the French debt settlement. and,de- c ed that prohibition enforcement. a a part of the work of the treasury department. was making good progress but should be stimu- lated by the passage of pending bills strengthening the enforcement sta- tutcs. He also urged legislation to per- mit disposi on of the sequestered German p erty and to renew the chnrters of the Federal Reserve syn- tern. and advocated passage of the McFadden branch banking bill without the Hull amendment rs- stricting branch banking in the fu- ture. Good Year Ahead. The financial and industrial out- look received the lion's share of at- tention in the report. Mr. Mellon declared the domestic situation was such that "we can look forward to another satisfactory year."

Last Sunday the W' of the Connecticut mm A: Power Company made a high record when it manufactuiied 705,000 cubic feet for one day. Less than 30 years ago the average daily consumption was “.000 cubic feet. The tremendous increase in the electricity and gas in this city is di- rectly traceable to increasing know- ledge of the benefits and comforts both bring. according to C. D. .Briggs. district superintendent of the Connecticut Light‘ and Power com- ,pany. Mr. Briggs points to the new record for power being set by the Norwalk division so far this year in proof of his statement. People of ‘this city. he says are using more household electric appliances now than ever before and Norwalk com- pares more than favorably with ci- ties of the same size for modernisa- tion of home equipment. In the first months of this year. ending October 1. the Norwalk di- vision of the company supplied to the territory about 16.600.000 kilo- watt hours of electricity. an increase of more than 1.000.000 kilowatt hours over that used last year and 1928 is expected to top 1925 by about 1.250.000 by the present show- ing. Norwalk has probably more outly- ing service lines than any other New , Enyk‘nd city of the same size. Mr. Briggswtates and stands particular- ly high in Connecticut. which has now an electrical ; industry invest- ment of approximately "9.750.000.

Ml-ZliltiAM Commander I win/ran cowr'm Junior Vice Commander Purchase of Armored Car And _l_’_a_t_rol Considered Au armored car for the police de- partment. to be used in the trans- portation of the payrolls of local factories is under consideration by Mayor Thomas Robins and members of the common council. Such a car has been suggested by Dan It. lid- wards, vice-president of the-Ameri- can Armor corporation of New York city. and holder of the congressional medal of honor and the distinguish- ed scrvice cross as the result of his service during the World War. The plan as outlined by Lieuten- ant Edwards is looked upon favor- ably by the city officials and it is probable that the car will be so- oured either by an appropriation from the board of estimate and taxation or by a subscription among the local manufacturers. Lieutenant Edwards has resigned his position as co-ordinator for the United States Veterans Bureau in order that he may giw his full time to his duties as vice president of the American Armor company and re- presentative of the Society for the Prevention of Crime. He has placed cars similar to that designed for Norwaik in several cities in the east and is in Stamford today. where he expects to place one of the cars with the Stamford police— depart- meat. It has been brought out that a $400,000 payroll is being transport- ed weekly by local concerns without proper protection and that it is an incentive for Mndits and hold-up men to get in their work. thought the machine would safe- guard the manufacturers against loss and at the same time assist in the prevention of crime in the city. A machine designed for the local police department would cost about $4.500 when completed and would act as a patrol wagon as well as an armored car. The right hand scat of the machine is collapsible so.” to form a seven feet cat, for ambu- lance use. On either side of the car :lf'c pockets containing bullet proof vests. The machine will be equipped with at Thompson sub-automatic ma- chine gun; one first aid kit. one pul- motor. fire extinguisher. strong box for money and securities and tear gas bombs. Shooting ports are built in the car to permit attack without exposure. One man with this equip. ment would be enabled to hold off a sizable force. without risking his own life. Mayor Robins stated that he thought the addition of the machine to the department would be a great improvement and was of the Opinion that the police department needed such a. car in view of the fact that there was no service car in the de- partment at the present time other than a small roadster. The matter will probably come up before the common council at its regular meeting Tuesday evening. Lieutenant Edwards will be present and explain the workings of ‘the cur.

General Giuseppe Garibaldi of Stamford said yesterday when dis. cussing the detention of his bro- ther. Rlcrlotti Garibaldi. by the French police as a political prison- er in connection with the Catalan plot disclosures about one month ago. Termlng his brother as "guilt- less" and interpreting the whole matter as a "move by Italian pol- itical organizations to discredit our cause and completely cmbarrafl us in the-eyes of our countrymen." General Garibaldi insisted that the “fight is not ever" and that his bro- thcr'amame will most assuredly be "cleared of all stigma" by his friends. General Garibaldi returned to this country Monday on the Cunard liner Carmania after spending some time in Paris personally arranging for counsel for his brother and in general aiding in straightening ou‘. the whole situation. Mussolini’s Agent, It Was Thought. The French police unearthed a plot whereby a. group of Spaniards in France were to invade Catalonia. a Spanish province. with the idea of fomenting rebellion against the Spanish government. Ricciotti Ga- ribaldi was one of the agitators ar- rested by, the French police. He subsequently is said to have admit- ted his part in the plot. but to have denied that the plot was inspired by Premier Mussolini or others in the Italian government. adding that he and his associates are opposed to the dictatorship of Mussolini. Opin. ion in America, as reflected in the press. was that the plot was en- gineered from Rome and was de- signed to create animosity between Italy and France as well as between Spain and France. It was thought that Ricciotti Garibaldi, posing as an anti-Mussolini. was really an agent of Mussolini's in France. Gone‘ral Garibaldi denied empha- tlcally' yesterday that his brother or the "cause" had any connection with Reme'and said that Mussolini and Italians in general are angered at his brother and his associates.

Dr. Ninchitch, resigned last night as a. protest. and the whole cabinet head- ed by M. Cuzounovltch followed his lead. to attract the world's attention to what he has described as the “new and grave situation." and what it generally regarded as a serious danger to control European peace. Even the League of Nations is greatly disturbed over these events. advices from Geneva state. for Dr. Nlnchitch was president of the last assembly of the League, and com- plications of a widespread nature are feared. Jugoslavia is a heavily armed na- tion with an estimated force of 200.. 000 men. It is feared. too. that Mus- solinl's program of expansion and al- liance will run afoul of the “Little Entente" which in large measure was developed by Ninchitch, Caisidcrcd Disloyaity. The Jugoslavs are reported as re- garding the Italo-Aibanian alliance as “disloyalty? to their country and other Balkan‘ nations. and the Bel. grade newspaper Politics prints a statement from an unconfirmed source in Scutari that the pact con- tains a. secret military clause. whereby Italy undertakes to go to the defense of the Albanian govern- ment. if need be. Official quarters in Paris. however. are without con- firmation of the existence of such a clause. ' The Seutari reports further assert that the military clause gives Italy naval base. at Duraszo.
