Questionnaire Mailed to Leading Democrats Seeks
 Opinion for l932 Campaign

al election should be asked to state where he stands on them.
 Chairman Rashob has addressed a questionnaire to each individual of the 90,000 men and women who contributed nearly $4,000,000 to the democratic national campaign fund in 1928. Of these individuals, l. 897 are Connecticut residents.
 The Raskob questionnaire seeks the answere to seven questions. The first question is whether the dern- ocratic platform should contain a The second Is whether the platform bers of congress to vote for a reso- lution in effect re-submitting the 18th amendment to the people. The dividual receiving the questionnaire constitutional amendments be rati- through state legislatures.
 Questions four, five and six ask if the platform should commit democratic congressman to vote for a proposal which would permit the people to express themselves on Q new amendment calling for the Raskob home rule plan for liquor control" for proposal which would give the people an opportunity to vote for straight re- peal of the 18th amendment or for a resolution calling for modification through adoption of the nome rule plan" as against outright re- peal of the 18th amendment.
 DO you believe" the final ques- .tion asks, that other economic is- sues will be so overwhelming in the 1882 campaign that the democratic platform can successfully ignore the prohibition question with it's economic problems by remaining silent or by adopting a mere law enforcement plank as was done in the 1923 convention?" t.
 In his letter requesting answers to the questionnaire, MT. Raskob points out in italicized type that self-addressed envelope is en- closed which needs no postage"

NEW APPOINTMENT
 FOR MISS BOYLAN
Secretary of Diocesan Bu- reau, Hartford, Goes to
 Brooklyn, N. Y.
SIXTEEN YEARS IN STATE

Miss Marguerite T. Boyian, ex- ecutive secretary of the Diocesan Bureau of Social Service in Hart ford, who has been associated with the organization since it started 16 years ago, has resigned her posi- tion there to take effect December l. Miss Boylan leaves her post in Hartford to become executive sec retary of the Catholic Charities of the diocese of Brooklyn, N. Y. which, according to reports is the largest diocese in the country. As yet no successor has been chosen for Miss Boylan's place.
 Miss Boylan, in her 16 years as secretary in Hartford, has been a most efficient secretary. She is well known in Waterbury, attend ing every annual meeting of the lo- cal Council of Catholic Women. Next Saturday Miss Boylan will be guest of honor at a luncheon at the Hartford club, given by the advis- ory bureau. Among those present at that time will be Rev Mat thew Judge, diocesan director of charities.
 A Staff dinner of council work CTS will be held tomorrow night in Hartford at which Miss Agnes Fitzpatrick and Miss Edna M. Ma loney of the local bureau wills be present. es~
 Miss Boylan first began her du- ties with the diocesan bureau when it was esta ablished in Bridgeport in January, 1916, transferring to the Hartford bureau on its organization in May, 1920. During these years the organization grew and spread, now having bureaus in the two cities already mentoined. and al- so in Waterbury. New Haven, New London, Norwich, Stamford and one to be opened shortly in New Britain, where the Catholic women are building up a strong organiza- tion, These bureaus are all subsi- diaries of the main Hartford bu- reau; thus Miss Boylan in her of- flee of state secretary was not only in touch with the Hartford office but with the various bureaus throughout the state. The re- markable growth of the state bu- reau may be seen in the fact that whereas in 1916 there were but two workers in the field, they now number 40 actual social workers, which does not include voluntary workers or those engaged in cleri- cal work.
 Miss Boylan's work in her new field will be on a much more gi- gantic scale, for which she is pre- pared by her experience in Hart ford. She was graduated from the Ohio State university with the de- , grees of A. B. and A. M. Before Joining with the diocesan bureau she was connected with non-sec- tarian charity organizations for five years in Columbus. Ohio, New York City and Bridgeport. Miss Boy Ian also served for three years af- ter her utilization with the Bridge port bureau with the National Catholic War Council, going over seas to make survey of European charities.
