REGISTRARS ARE
 UP IN THE AIR

The General Registrars of Voters are disp1eased with the story that the knowing politicians of the city saw in the request of the Registrars for increase in their salaries and. in the office force an attempt to strengtheu the Wilson political machine.
 Registrar Thomas F. White yester- day said, 'tIt isn't so. The Mayor does not appoint the Registrars of Voters They are appointed by the Aldermen One from each of the two, parties having the largest representation; in the Board.
 Neither Lounsbury nor myself has spoken to the Mayor about this mat ter at all.
 ''The increased force is necessary. That is self-evident. Work of the office has been doubled.
 We ask for nothing only what we think is essential for doing. th e work required by law" ..--.,...,--.-
 Registrar White thought that the fact that all the members of the Al: dermen are Republicans this year would not make any difference as he believed it was the intention of the law that one Registrar should be ap. pointed from each of the two grea parties.
 He did not believe that two Repub lcan Registrars would be selected
