ceipts one of the lively issues now before

mittee Of the House.
Marylands share Of the Federal
highway aid fund will amount to ST.
o52 900 a year for each Of the Lext two
years. If this is matched by bond
issue the money that would otherwise
be taken from the gasoline tax fund
could be used for other road ccnStruc-
ton, Mr. Bruce pointed out.

counties would receive annually as their
share Of the Federal funds after they
have been matched by the State was
announced yesterday by Delegate
Heaps.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-08-05

New York-The United States government is actively engaged in the business of bootleggine, former U. s. Senator James A. Reed of Missouri, charges in a vigorous at- tack on the federal prohibition en- forcement policy. He declares that the government operates speak easies, takes it's cut of liquor profits as the secret partner of the gang chief, and finances the mak- ing of homemade wines.
 "I indict the federal government for setting up and operating negro speak-easies, with negro spies, un- der the direction of drunken pro- hibition agents, to bribe and entrap policemen, sheriffs and other state officers for the purpose of jam ming them to prison," he writes in |an article entitled Your Govern ment Itself Is a Bootlegger, in Cosmopolitan magazine.
 "In northern New York federal prohibition agents were instructed and directed by Judge Frank Coop CT of the United States district court of northern New York. with the approval of the state and fed eral prohibition directors, to engage in rum-smuggling and rum-run- ming" he continues. Agents were provided with money, out of the federal treasury, and an automo- bile, with which to go into Can- ada, buy liquor. bring 1t into the United States and sell 1t to bootleg gers in the vicinity of Troy and AL bany.

 districts in the primaries are named he be given the choice of 10

 by anybody merely to take advan- tage of the split in the democratic party. The republicans. it is known, feel that the primary bat tie between Mayor Frank Hayes and ex-Superintendent w. E. Ken nedy will weaken the party organi- zation, possibly enough to give some g. o. p. adherent a chance of stepping into the chief executives chair in the city hall.
 M Pape has long had aspirations for the mayoralty post, republicans on the inside" claim. and 1t is considered very probable that he will step into the ring now in or der to wrest the post from the democrats and gain the g. o. ?. nomination in the face of MT Tracy's announced candidacy. MT Papes unsuccessful run for the nomination of controller on the Leavitt ticket last fall has not dis couraged him. it is said. and he plans to continue to be an impor- tant cog in the Waterbury g. O. p. machine.
 Just how MT Pape's candidacy will sit with the republicans or Waterbury in view of MT Tracy's announcement was reflected in va rious comments heard to-day. The republicans, it was declared. should steer clear of any party fight, present in unified front and go out to defeat the democrats in october instead of splitting up at this time in a primary battle.

 Other veterans talked with stat ed that most of the machine gum ners in the I'D were organized in Boston and were recruited from Alcorace entered the I'D from other infantry companies. This being so, it is believed likely that some other city.
 Alcorace served a term in the Connecticut state prison for con- ducting an immoral dance hall amusement report. He has com- pleted his term and has now been ordered deported to his native Italy as an undesirable alien.
 His counsel, Attorney w. E. Brownell of Boston yesterday filed petition in federal court for a writ of habeas corpus on behalf of Alcorace. Brownell pointed out that Alcorace was but three months old when brought to Amer ica and claimed that to return him to Italy would make him a virtual "exile."
 The deportation law was en- acted to rid the country of crim- inals who acquired vices in their native lands, he said. but not for deportation of "our own" crim- inals, no matter how bad they are.

Public Criticism Brings Move; New
 Crews To Be Formed
Under-employed Working on Waterville Street and
 Chase Avenue to Be Interviewed By Chief and Shifted Elsewhere Contributors to Weekly
 Fund Claim Weak Efforts on Part of Employees

Due to public criticism concern ing the crews working on Water vile street and Chase avenue un- der the direction of the unem- ployment relief committee, Chair man William M. Harris has de- cided to reorganize the gangs, shift many of the men to other points and start the activities on the two thoroughfares anew. MT Harris, in announcing the proposed changes to-day, made it plain that this is being done in order to in- crease the morale and efficiency of the men working for the re- lief committee and also in order to give the public a 100 per cent return for the funds which they are contributing weekly to keep the men with some income.
 Before the changes are made, howeevr, MT Harris will interview each of the men and revamp the

 Explaining why the crews have been apparently doing little work, MT Harris stated to-day that the gangs were reall yhampered due to lack of tools will be taken care of when the two new crews are put to work and the public will receive sufficient service and i'm provements to repay them for their financial support, he pointed out.
 ''The public Is giving real SUD- port" stated MT Harris to-day, "and expects and is entitled to real returns for their kind efforts in behalf of the unemployed of Waterbury,"
 The changes in the two gangs will be effected by the end of the present week, MT Harris added.
