Federal Funds
May Be Used On
Water Systems
Municipal Sewage COlIec-
ton and Disposal Plants
Also May Be Financed
Under Recovery Act

In a special bulletin today, the
state department Of health called
attention of Connecticut municipal
tiles to the fact that the National
Industrial Recovery Act in the Sec
ton concerning the federal aid for
public works provides an excellent
opportunity to secure financial as
sistance In building or extending
water supply sources and distribu-
ton systems. and sewage collection
systems and disposal plants.
The act provides for direct fed
eral grants up to thirty percent OF
the cost of labor and materials and
other assistance in the way OF
backing up local credit for the re-
manning cost. Communities decid-
ing to undertake such public works
will do well to get started immed-
lately on the necessary preliminar-
les to place themselves on the pro-
gram now in the course of prepar-
alton, the bulletin says.
The bulletin quotes from a re-
cent statement of the Surgeon
General Hugh s. Cummings, NJ. d.
OF the United States Public Health
Service on the advisability of util-
izing available funds on public
works of this type: "In no way
could they (appropriations) be
more useful to this and future gen.
erations than in the construction
and installation of adequate and
safe water supplies and sewage
disposal systems. Although there
have been advances in all lines OF
medical science, in on one field OF
endeavor, perhaps, has there been
such a saving of life as in the in
stallation of water supply and sew
age disposal plants"

Washington, July 14-(UP)-
The government pulled the trigger
on its most powerful weapon in
the recovery offensive to-day and
made ready to put the milk indus
try on a license basis. By this
means 1t hoped to force recalci-
trant members into marketing
agreements guaranteeing fair re-
turns to the farmer and fair
prices to the consumer.
1t was the first time the admin
istration had resorted to the Ii
censing sections of the farm and
Industrial control acts. These pro-
visions give the government power
to har from business any concern
refusing to abide by trade agree
ments.
In view of the attitude of many
in the dairy industry it was con-
sidered likely the action would
lead to a court test of the licensing
system. The government, how
ever, feels certain of its ground.
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace
announced that the decision to Ii
cense the milk industry was taken
only after extended conferences
with President Roosevelt and At
torney General Cummings.
Should the measure prove sue
cessful, it was believed it might be
used in other industries which
have been laggard in adopting
codes of fair practice.
The milk industry has been
hard to handle since the recovery
program was put into effect. In
many sections, particularly Chi

VISITORS CAUSED
MANY RUMORS
Delegation From Paw
tucket Called at the City
Hall Yesterday
TOURED THE BUILDING

A group of well dressed men ar
irving at the city hall at noon hour
yesterday not only aroused the in
terest of city officials and members
of their staffs, but was responsible
for many rumors, which quickly
circulated to all parts of the city.
The party was a delegation of
city officials from Pawtucket, r. l.
They were met by City, Clerk John
P. Fitzmaurice, who escorted them
about the city hall, fire and police
headquarters. The visitors were
interested in obtaining data to in
corporate in their plans for a new
municipal building in their home
town.
While the gentlemen from Rhode
Island were admiring Cass Gill
bert's contribution to Waterbury,
civic group 1t was whispered about
the city that they were federal
agents modified here for a big
liquor cleanup. One Of the men
was positively identified as At
torney Robert Sengle, who has led
raiding parties on previous occa-
sions. Mr. Sengle. however, has
resigned his position as federal adj
ministrator.
Another report had it they were
secret service agents and that
certain section of the city was to
be searched for counterfeiters
plant.
The report as to the federal
agents being in town caused a
number of speakeasies to fold up
for the afternoon.

series of conferences.
Much local interest is being ex-
pressed in the three meetings In
view of the fact that yesterday the
three largest industrial concerns
of Waterbury adopted wage in
crease schedules ranging from 5
to 10 per cent.
1t is generally felt that after
the national code on costs in in
dustry has been adopted the local
factories will grant another in
crease. In the meantime Water
bury was being commented on in
all parts of the state FOR doing its
bit to lead the way back to good
times by cooperating with the fed
eral Industrial recovery plan.
Industrial accountants from all
parts of Connecticut have also been
invited to attend the three confer
ences. The program has been ar
ranged with a view to reaching an
understanding on the possible
adoption of cost codes as an essen
tial part of the national admins

Editor of Daily Worker,
Dear Comrade:
Last year during the Lenin Drive
I got six new Party members into
our Party. I started this year in
the Daily Worker and Party drive
and I got four subscriptions and one
member into the Party. Every
Party member and Daily Worker
reader should do the same thing.
One mistake of the Party men,
bers is when they go to talk to the
masses they start to call them
nothing but dirty names. The COM
rades should know how to approach
the members. Those members
got to the Party I didn't get by
friendliness, but through activity. I

nationalities to the Party and one
American, and it can be proved
that I got the mthrough the Daily

isn't such thing that they can't

working in a road camp. AS he
was very weak, he only partially
filled his wheelbarrow with the
earth that the prisoners were dig
ging. The guard threatened him
with an enormous stick or club,
telling him that he isn't carrying
enough. When Cruz resisted his
attempts to make him haul a heav-
Ter load, the guard fell upon him
and almost beat him to death.
Comrade Cabrera, a Spanish work
er from Tampa, rushed to his de-
tense and broke the guards stick
at the risk of his own life, because
all guards carry gun and for the
least little thing they shoot you
down in cold blood and declare that
you were attempting to escape.
Therefore you, can see how utterly
unselfish and heroic our comrades
are here. The result was that Ca
brera received 50 days in the sweat
box with his daily meal consisting
of a single slice of bread and a
measly drop of tepid water. Fifty
two days, deprived of human society
and exposed to the hot Florida sun.
This is a true story as told to me
by the two comrades mentioned.
This is the treatment that workers
receive in the State Penitentiary at
Raiford. Please-you are a leading
comrade in the Party-can't you
help spread the significance of the
Tampa case and make the COM
radeS up north realize that these
comrades must be freed? Mass
pressure has succeeded in the past,
why not in this case, You must
write more about these comrades in
the Daily Worker.
