Gave No Information Out; Is Attempt
 To Disrupt Party
No Changes Contemplated in Democratic Ticket Controller Leary's Administration of Office Praised Controller Must Always Bear Brunt of Attack From Opposing Factions and Parties

know there is not the slightest rift in the present administration about Dan" Leary. He has not only made a most competent exec utive, but he has done 1t in such a manner that everybody that comes in contact with him cannot but comment on the courteous manner. which is his at all times. He has done a fine job as control Ter. The people of this city know it as do the bankers of Boston and New York, judging From the com pliments they have accorded him on the handling of finance. Incl dentally, I would like the public to know, especially the members of the democratic party, that I gave no interview whatsoever to the American Republican last week about the makeup of the demo- cratic ticket. That must have been an imaginary interview just like the imaginary stories that have been appearing in their publica- tions the past few weeks.
 "They are evidently endeavoring to bring discord into the ranks of the democratic party. but they will be no more successful than they have been in the past. They will get nowhere with their personali- ties, and the electorate will not be deceived by the manner in which they are trying to becloud the is- sues. As I said in the beginning, the democratic ticket is going to be re-nominated and reelected with a rousing majority and there is no question in my mind but that Frank Hayes and ..Dan" Leary will be around to have their pictures taken in their city hall offices Jan- uary 1, 1884"

Connecticut's birth and marriage rates went sharply downward dur ing the first six months of 1883 as compared with the first half of the previous year, while the death rate remained approximately constant, according to the Bureau of Vital Statistics of the State Department of Health in an article contained in the departments monthly bull letin issued to-day. The. birth and marriage rates likewise showed a considerable decline from 1881 fig ureS. .
 During the first six months of the year, the number of births in Connecticut, Twas 10,986 as against 11,996 in the corresponding period last year. The birth rate during the year ending June 30 thus dropped from 14.5 to 13.1 per 1000 popu- lation. The birth rate in the first six months of 1891 was 15.7 per 1000. Ten years ago, in 1923. the birth rate was 20.9 and in 1920 the rate was as high as 24.4.
 Even greater, approximately speaking, was the decline in the marriage rate during the first half of 1888. The total number of mar riages during the six months was 3,S99 against 4,313 last year. The rate dropped from 5.2 to 4.6 per 1000 population. The 1881 mar riage rate for the first half year was 5.6, while in 1923 the rate was S.3.
 The total deaths for the last three years were very uniform, the greatest difference being only thirty. The slight variation in the rates CLIO per 1000 last year. 10.S this year) is due to the natural in- crease in population. The accumu- lated rate for 1898 is considered very favorable, however, since mortality in the first six months is in general less favorable than in the last six months of the year. Therefore, barring such 8 catastro-

THREE COUPLES
 QUALIFY IN THE
 KISS MARATHON
Another Freak Game Is
 Being Conducted at Coney Island With Very
 Many Entries

New York, Aug 29.-(UP)- Three couples qualified to-day for the finals in the first national kissing marathon. A fourth couple, who recently observed their 50th wedding anniversary were given byes into the finals because of long experience.
 The eliminations took more than an hour before the champion kiss- CTS were selected. The couple married for 50 years, MT and Mrs George Newcombe, made a good showing.
 The contest which was at Coney Island was held up for some time by Dr Harry s. Lichtman of the city health department. Dr Licht- man would not permit the show to start without physical examina- ton for each contestant which eliminated four.
 Miss Betty Burns, platinum blonde and a finalfst expressed a preference for south of the Mason and Dixon line osculation. Miss Burns, comes from Macon, Ga. They start kissing at an early ago in the south, she said.
 "I expect I knew how to kiss about the time I got the first fruit jar dents on my nose," Miss Burns said. ''I shut my eyes when I kiss and I prefer married men. Cold weather kissing. is much better than hot weather"
 Miss Helen Gould. platinum blonde No 2. who kissed her way into the finals in the arms of Jer- ry Cardinal, differed with Miss Burns. She believed single men are better. mainly because of pa- tience and endurance.
 Miss Jean Riddell, platinum blonde, No 8, said she liked to kiss Wall street men most. She de-, faulted after the. first IS minuets because her partners mustache tickled.
 II have to know the gentleman before, would kiss him." Miss Rid dell said.

Birth, Marriage Rates Shrink m
 First Half Year
Death Rate for l933 Is Constant, Should Be Lowest in History Cancer Deaths Grow, Tuberculosis Less

phe as occurred in the influenza outbreak in October, 1918. it may be expected that 1893 will be a year of record low death rate. To- tai deaths for the first six months were 9,0S3 as compared with D. 113 last year.
 In a cumulative table, the bulle- tin gives the causes of deaths dur ing the half year. The table shows increased mortality due to infiuen- ga in January and February. Pol iomeylitis( Infantile paralysis) has been entirely absent so far this year. Cancer shows the usual in- crease as a cause of death. An in- crease in deaths due to broncho pneumonia is nearly offset by the decrease in lobar pneumonia. Pull monary tuberculosis shows a de- finite decrease and encouraging reductions are noted for diabetes, diseases of the heart, nephritis and suicide. On the whole, the bulle- tin says, the experience for the first half of the year is one of en- couragemen.t

Declaring that a supposed inter- view published in the the Water bury American last week supposed to have been obtained from him was entirely untrue, Town Chair man John H. Crary, in statement Issued today, pointed to the har- mony. existing in the democratic party and decried the tactics being taken by some republicans to mis- inform the public and lead them to believe that the democrats are not sohdified. Chairman Crary char acterized the American story as campaign being pushed by the American Republican combination in an effort to becloud the real election issues.
 "Five weeks from today is elec- ton day. From all indications in and about this city, Waterbury is going to run true to form and elect Mayor Frank Hayes with another big majority. Moreover, his entire ticket is going back with him.. Such was the comment made this morning to a Democrat reporter by John H. Crary, chairman of the democratic town committee.
 And why should. not Mayor Hayes be elected" he continued. "He has given the city an admin istration that the citizens can be proud of. Judging from what l know they are well pleased with him. That applies not only to democrats and republicans, but to the independent voters. The only criticism that hear comes from a few disgruntled democrats, who are and have been working with one of the prospective candidates in the republican party. With all their Investigators, detectives, and story tellers. and they tell me they have been working for months, there is scarcely ripple on the waters. What name in the rer publican party has been mentioned that has even the slightest chance Of getting elected"
 Naturally there will be some criticism of "Dan" Leary. There is of any comptroller, when he has patronage to give out. Mike" Russell was one of the best liked controllers that this city ever had. Yet every election the story went out, he was going to be cut be- cause he had not passed out the acquisitions to please everybody. The same was said of the late Henry Wood, a grand man, Elmer Parker, Peter FitzHenry and any one who ever held the office. You

 A young clerks mother had her
 suspicious about his long hours.
 Finally last Sunday. after he told her he had to work all day, she de- cided to find out for hersef. She came down in the aarly evening,

Wharf Jetty at
 Madison Wharf
E. w. Goss and Others
 Offer to Pay Half Cost

A proposal has been received by the town of Madison from Con- gressman w. Edward Goss of this city who has a summer home in Madison near East Wharf. and several others in that vicinity, to defray half the cost of a jetty to be erected at the east end of the East Wharf bathing beach.
 Last winters storms did a lot of damage at the beach, washing out a great deal of sand and changing the contour of the beach complete ly. The damage also extends to the adjoining private stretch of beach including MT Goss'. The U. S. congressman has intended to erect a jetty to protect his own beach, but realizing that the public beach might be harmed should he do so, he proposed a plan for the town to erect the jetty east of the beach so that all could be benefited and he and other interested would share the cost. The se1ectmen of Madison have this proposal under consideration. It is estimated that the probable cost will be about $750.

PICKET RIGHTS TO BE DECIDED
 IN THE COURTS
Test Case Being Made in New York and Supreme Court Will Render Its Opinion
BY MARION F. COLLINS

United Press Staff CorespOndent)
 New York, Aug 29-(U.P)-A New York supreme court ruling on whether the National Recovery Act suspends a state law giving labor the right to picket, was ex- pected to set a ssprecedent of na- tion-wide importance to-day in de- fining the status of labor under a codified industry.
 Directly involved were six mem- bers of the Shoe and Leather Workers Industrial Union who were arrested outside the plant of the Elco Shoe Company. Affidavits charged they conspired to prevent the shoe company from carrying out terms of it's MIRA agreement.
 Jacques Buitenkampf, counsel for some 5000 striking shoe work CTS charged that the pickets were arrested at the request of Grover Whalen. chairman of the city MIRA committee. He said Whalen sought to test the question whether strik- CTS belonging to union, said to be communistic could intimidate workers in a plant operating under the blue, eagle.
 Whalen charged last week that Communists in absolute defiance of the government" were making "war on the Blue Eagle. At that time he said he had asked police to make an arrest on which the local NRA could base test case.
 The complaint against the six pickets was signed by Henry Lef- schutz, secretary of the Elco Com. pany. Three supporting affidavits carried the charge of conspiracy against the MIRA. The union the pickets represented Is affiliated with the Trades Union Unity League, a communist trade union
 The defendants were arraigned on charge of conspiracy to vio. late section 580 of the penal code which pertains to picketing before Magistrate William O'Dwyer, who pointed out the question was one to be determined by the supreme court, as it involved decision on whether the National Recovery Act suspended the state law.
 A delegation of. strikers from the shoe and leather union called on Whalen to protest against the movement they attributed to him to end picketing.
 'Whalen told the delegation he did not intend to interfere with orderly picketing. explaining the local MIRA organization did not propose to- advise either workers or; employers with which groups they should negotiate for collec- tive agreements. @,
 Officials of the American Feeder ation of Labor and Norman Thomas, socialist leader, protested any move to ban picketing.
