.FALk seen As new
LEADER OF COUNCIL
Announces He Is Candidate for
President Pro Tenn.
NAIR PROMISES SUPPORT
Second Ward Alderman Will Not BE
Opposed BY Incumbent From First
Ward - Aspirant HIS Virtually
Clear Road.

Alderman Walter r. Falk OF the
second ward made announcement to-
day of his intention of seeking the
republican nomination for president
pro tenn. of the council. His nom-
nation would be tentamount to cleo
ton because of the two-to-on re-
publican membership in that body.
Alderman David L. Nair of the
first ward. present holder Of the
position, publicly stated today that
he would back his colleague from
the second.
The third ward aldermanic chair
will be occupied next year by some
one other than the incumbent. Will
liam H. Judd, who is retiring, and
since the fifth and sixth ward leaders
are democrats, it appears that the
only possibility of opposition is from
fourth ward Alderman j. Gustave
Johnson who so far at least is not
a candidate.
The council service OF Alderman
Falk has extended over a period of
seven years. In 1922 he was elected
a councilman and at once attracted
the notice of veteran members of the
body by his aggressiveness and evil
dent knowledge of city affairs. Two
years later, upon retirement OF the
late John +. Gill as alderman, Falk
succeeded to the aldermanic row. In
1926, his district, and last year again
1926, running for reelection, he was
endorsed by the democrats of hts dis
trict, and last year again
won the endorsement of both par
ties. 1t is believed that this situa-
ton is without parallel in the his
tory of New Britain politics.
Alderman Falk was chairman of
the finance committee for three
years, and now heads the impHtant
committee on ordinances. He has
had wide experience as a member of
numerous special committees and on
other standing committees OF the
common council.
Candidate Falk is a foreman In
the z. & r. Corbin division of the
American Hardware Corporation. He
is one of the leading members OF
the Wennerberg chorus and 'o-
calist of note.

Caraway. in the same vein, sug-

Prof. Macintosh were carried to its
logical conclusion.
ut certainly is violation OF
the theories upon which this Gov

To bar a woman. because at Is
