it was learned today.
Opportunity for combination Of
the two service schools will be

Meanwhile Senator Millard e.

institute a furlough plan at the

Gambrill and Tydings pointed
out in a letter to Secretary Of

Is There Hope For Us

It is apparent to local relief officials that the number of jobs available under federal estimates for this city is far below the applicants It is hard to convince people of this fact, though. However, everybody must have read recently of the extra allotments given other cities in the state. while Waterburys quota remains around 2,OOO. Even this figure is con- siderably more than was originally ln- tended for this city. How such figure could have been computed is more than we can understand. No industrial city In the state was harder hit than Waterbury. The mere fact that we met the sltuatlon promptly and with efficiency was no cause for overlooking us in distributing Joos.
 Perhaps there is some hope for us Ill the announcement from Secretary ot the Interior Harold Ickes, who is director of the public and civil works administra- tions, that unless communities get actual work started on the various projects to be financed by federal money. they VIII lose out on appropriations. Unquestlon- ably this is the proper attitude to assume. Some months ago the same threat was made with regard solely to public works. That was before the CWA had come into existence. Then Uncle Sam was merely offering money to finance public projects. Now he will pay wages provided the enl- ployes are removed from local relief lists.
 It is only fair to the cities and towns that are rushing ahead with their con- struction work that they be given every consideration Waterbury is foremost in this class. It had listed several projects for government aid last fall. They are now in progress. Certainly Waterbury should be one community to benefit It Secretary Ickes is to rescind allotments. And if there are extra jobs to be given out in the state, Waterbury should bene- fit. It has almost come to the point, we are afraid, where discrimination can De charged, perhaps not Intentionally, but nevertheless present.
