public domain, is required to per-
form a number of functions entirely
outside the scope of the departments S
jurisdiction as it was originally con-
ceived. The Federal Bureau of Edu-
cation and Howard University (for
colored students) are agencies whose
functions the joint committee of Con-
gress say are patiently educational in
character; while St. Elizabeth's Hos
pital and Freedman's Hospitaf are in
stitutions given over to the care and
medical treatment of various groups
of Government beneficiaries. The Pen
sion Office. the committee points out,
is responsible for the payment of
service and disability pensions to GER
tain classes of war veterans and their
dependents, an activity which involves
to a considerable extent the super
vision and use of a medical staff.
These particular agencies just
enumerated, the joint congressional
committee agrees with the President
and his cabinet, have no logical place
in the departments in which they are
now found and should be located else
where in affiliation with other Gov
ernment establishments whose prime
purposes are similar.
The proposal to set up depart
ment of education and relief proceeds
directly from the fact that the edu-
cational and health work of the
Government, and the work which the
Government does on behalf of It's
vcterans--with it's important medi-
cal institutional and educational
aspects-is big enough as it now
stands, and requires sufficiently
extensive machinery, even though ii
is dispersed among several depart
ments and Independent establish
ments, to warrant its concentration
in an executive department devoted
exclusively to the management of
these matters.
In a .dition to the agencies men
toned above there are a number OF
other Government agencies with
similar purposes which it is proposed
TO bring into this new department.
1t is recommended that the new
cabinet head of these educational and
relief agencies be given the nominal
supervision over the Columbia In
stitution for the Deaf now exercised
by the Secretary of the Interior
The Independent Veterans Bureau,
itself larger than most of the
executive departments, is the prin-
cipal establishment for the care, as
sistance and treatment of veterans,
maintaining extensive hospital fa-
cilities
An important function of this bu
Evening star., 1924-12-10

Besides the 10 big executive de-
partments and the two-Score inde-
pendent establishments, Congress is
now considering the creation of a
new executive department of educa-
tion and relief. This was recommend
ed by the President after a compre-
hensive survey of the administrative
branch OF the Government and after
conferences with his cabinet to the
joint congressional committee on
reorganization of the administrative
branch OF the Government. 1t has
been favorably reported to both
branches of Congress-the Senate and
House-by this joint committee, as
the most radical step in compre-
hensive program of reorganization
Representative Frederick w. Dalling-
er of Massachusetts, chairman of the
House committee on education, has
introduced a bill providing for such
a new department.
But it is important to remember
that this proposed new department
would be created out of agencies that
already exist and would perform no
function not now performed by those
agencies. SO this seemingly radical
move is nothing more than logical
part Of the effort to diveSt each exist
ing department of functions which are
clearly eXtraneous and to assemble
under unified supervision all activ
tiles which are or should be in close
working relationship.
Executive departments as they exist
today frequently embrace activities
having little apparent relation to
the more important purposes of those
departments There is another condi-
tion that is almost a corralary, there
are located in different department
agencies whose work lies in the same
field. These conditions the joint COM
mittee on reorganization have found
nowhere better eXemplified than in
the case of those establishments
which deal with medical. institu
tional and educational questions. and
which look out for the interests of
veterans and their dependents-a
work which itself has medical. inSti-
tutionaI and educational aspects OF
the greatest Importance.
The Treasury Department. which is
essentially the fiscal branch of the
Government, for example, has super
vision of the Public Health Service,
an organization which has no Connec-
tion with financial matters. Again,
the Department of the Interior, whose
primary interest has always been the
protection and disposition of the

reau Is the vocational as well as the
physical rehabilitation of disabled
veterans. This results in a similarity
between some parts of the work of
that bureau and the work of the Fed
eral Board for Vocational Education,
an independent agency which lends
Federal aid to State Governments, not
only for the promotion of vocational
education in the public schools. but
also for the rehabilitation of persons
disabled in industry service iden-
tical to that performed by the Vet
erans' Bureau for persons disabled in
the performance of military duty.
And again, the Federal Board, in
establishing vocational training
courses in the public schools, finds
itself treading on the heels of the
Bureau of Education, which serves
as a national clearing house on vir-
tually all educational questions
So the Investigating committee finds
that to a certain extent practically
all of the educational, health and vet
erans' relief agencies of the Govern
ment interlock, SO that 1t seems to
the committee not only logical, but
imperative, that they be put under
the same departmental control If du-
plication and actual conflict of effort
is to be avoided.

 Promised Telegram

No word has been received yet from Comptroller of the Currency Dawes in regard to the granting of a charter for the Citizens National Bank. under revised conditions outlined to the citi- zens' committee and accepted. at the meeting last Friday night in the Chamber of Commerce rooms.
 Al that time II. II. Mckee, personal representative of the comptroller, ad- dressed the committee and told them of a new plan. whereby the new bank could be started under slightly altered conditions as previously laid down by the comptroller. His proposition was not ali that the committee would have liked. but t was accepted.
 Mir. Mckee said that he would take the matter up with the comptroller and would wire his decision on Monday at the latest. Up to noon today the promised telegram had not been re- ceived.
 Until word Is received from the comptroller there is nothing that the local committee can do.

 From Wood From Old Hotel

Two vielins. made from a piece of spruce rafter in the old Quine- baug Housei
 Such in few words is the most recent accomplishment of John A. Morse of South Main street. famous for miles around not only for his musical ability and skill as a yiolinist. but as a maker of vioiins that concert stars have come miles to Putnam to buy and today are delighting audiences with.
 When the old hotel, which was built somewhere around seventy to seyenty-hve years ago, was parti- ally dismantled and moved from in back of the Putnam Inn, up agains; the present structure. that it might once again come into use- fulness. some of the spruce rafters were ripped away.
 Now spruce, that is thoroughly dried and free from hlemishes, such as knots. .s just what Mir. Morse wanted Co make new violin from. Such wood, of the kind he must have. k hard to obs tain. So when he heard about those rafters in the old Quinebaug House. he became interested im- mediately.
 He found and secured exactly what he wanted and from an old. dusty. heavy piece of wood. he has fashioned two violins of the ''strad" model and both of them are reported to possess remarkable tone.

MuNYAN NOT ENDORSED
Republicans Decide to Nominate No
 One For Judge of Probate

The political caldron k hubhling in great shape in the town of Thompson. The situation may be outlined after this fashion;
 Judge Fred A. Munyan of the Thompson Court of Probate. went Co the Legislature two years ago as rep resentntive to the Lower House and was elected on a Democratic ticket. For years he has been nominated by the Democrats for 1ndga of Probate and has been inaorsed by the Republis cans for this particular office.
 On Tuesday night, in the Town Hall, the Democrats nominated Judge Munyan for reelection both as rep- resentatiye and as judge of probate.
 And then the fun began
 The Republicans in their caucus. in the same hall on the same night. but meeting an hour earlier. nominat- ed Fred L. Hutehins, former repre- sentative and Edward Desaulnier, as candidates for representative. All went well up to this point,
 Then came the time to nominate candidate for Judge of Probate. Many expected to hear the name of Judge Munyan for endorsement for the office. as had been the customary thing.
 Not so. A voice was raised against following this course. and the result was that the caucus adjourned without placing a candidate in nomination. The question was left with the town committee 10 find & solution. The sen timent was expressed that as long as Judge Munyan ran only for judge Of probate on the Democratic ticket. Re bublicans were fair to him and the town, in endorsing him for office, for all agree that Mir. Munyan is an able man for the office. But when Jndge Munynn consents to run for the leTis- lature as well as judge of probate. on the Democratic ticket. Republicans generally feel that they are not called upon Co indorae him any longer for the post of judge of probate.
 The question has consumed lot of time this week among Republicans and il was the decision of the town com mittee to nominate no one for the of fee. In other words, Co leave Judge Munyan unopposed for the office on election day. Republicans. say the Democrats. are therefore not opposed to Judge Munyan for judge of probate. and apassively indorse' him for the office
 Up to noon today the Democratic town committed had not informed Town Clerk Elliott of Thompson who their second candidate k for repre- sentative. The caucus Tuesday night named only Judge Munyan for repre- sentative and left the selection of the other candidate with the town commit tee. Today is the last day on which the candidate could be named, under the law.

(. H. CHILD WILL
 RETIRE AS JUDGE.
Nearing Age Limit, Woodstock Probate Court Judge Not
 Re-nominated
Has Held Office For 22 Years--Hsndi-
 cd Hundreds of Estates

Because the state law says that a judge of probate cannot serve after he attains the age of seventy and by reason of the fact that Judge Clar- enee H Child will attain that mile stone in life early next spring and therefore would be automatically re tired, he is not candidate this year for reelection by his fellow citizens in the town of Woodstock.
 The Judge has held the office dur ing the past twenty-two years. during which time scores and scores of estat- es have passed through his hand as judge of the court and he has settl- ed any number of estates, acting as executor or administrator. Wood stock regrets that the state law says he must retire.
 As his successor. the Republicans, in caucus on Tuesday night, nominat- ed Robert Harris, well known resi- dent of the town. The same evening the Democrats nominated as their candidate another we'll known resi- dent of Woodstock, George Frlnk.

 licans
Pomfret Caucus Also Exciting
 Woolsteek and Eastferd Quiet

A five cornered contest, staged at Tuesday evenings Republican caucus in the municipal building, resulted in the nomination. by exclamation. of Samuel Rich and William Pechie as candidates for representatives to the general assembly. To most everyone the outcome of the voting was a sur prise. but there were very few who were dissatisfied. It was one of the most largely attended caucuses held in Putnam in many years.
 John X. Dady, chairman of the town committee. called the meeting to order and presided until the election of Judge NJ. II. Geissler as moderator. Whitman Danielson was chosen to serve as clerk.

 No One Noninatss Peehie
 Most everyone in the hall looked for someone to rise and nominate William Pechie. But no one rose. Was Mir. Peehie still in the field7 was a question that went back and forth across the hall. Most everyone discovered the answer to their question later on. but not everyone realized the political strategy that was employed for the oe- easion. On the first ballots friends worked for the nomination of Mir. Rich and succeeded. Later on these same friends turned their strength Co Mir. Peehie-and secured his nomination.
 On the voting for the four eandi- dates nominated, ballots were employ ed and the check list was used. The result was us follows; For Mir. Rich, 1S9 votes; Mayor Chapdelaine, l42; Miss Larned. lo7: Mrs. Nikoleh. 5.

GMPATRIC MAKES
 FINAL ACCOUNTING
Papers Show $40, 900 Cutler Trust Fund Short By
 $34,0 900
Because of Heavy Bond Fual Win
 Not Less Single Pss.y

Acting in his capacity as trustee of the <a0,000 Annie Cutler Trust Fund. c. Harold Gilpatric has filed with the Putnam Probate Court, an accounting. which 1t Is reported. dis closes a shortage of S34.oo It would appear. therefore. that all but s6.ooo of the trust fund was mis- appropriated by the defaulting First National Bank cashier.
 Having received the papers embrac- ing the accounting, Judge David Flagg has set Oct. 22 as the date for the hearing of the question of accept ing or rejecting the trustees account ing.
 Though almost ali of Miss Cutters trust fund was dissipated, it is prob able that the fund will not suffer, because the heavy bond carried. will more than make up for the shortage. The bond has not been called as yet. and until 1t does. Miss Cutler will lose the income from the fund. But when the bonding company meets its ap- parent obligation in the premises. the fund will be restored in all prob ability. to it's original size.
 Upon the retirement of Mir. Gil- patric. officially, as trustee nf the fund, the Hartford Connecticut Trust Company becomes trustee, under the terms of the will ef the late Joseph Cutler.

ANOTHER CHURCH HIT
So. Woodstoek Baptist, Must Pay
 Ssvv ~sscssment on Sank Stock

The Baptist church of South Woodstock new joins the ranks of the First Baptist church of Put nam and the Abingdon Congrega- tional church in the fact that it owns shares of stock in the First National Bank of Putnam and is now faced with the problem of raising funds to pay the stock as- sessment. The Woodstock church owns stock to the value of $500, acquired through a gift several years ago.
 The first step toward the pay ment of the initial portion of the assessment was taken on Wednes- day evening, October s, when the Ladies' Aid of the church gave successful bean supper. It is very probable that some other securi- ties owned by the church will be disposed of as an aid to paying of the assessment.
