Will Cost $500 To Have Forest Army
 Forces Examined
Establishment of Examination Office in Waterbury Would Save This Amount = Harris Claims Na- tOnal Guard Examining Officer Could Do Neces- Sary Work

Strong criticism of the orders of General Fox Conner, commander of the first corps area at Boston, for not including an examination office at Waterbury for the candi- dates for the forestry services IS included in letter forwarded to Congressman Edward w. Goss, by William M. Harris, director of the forestration service in this city.
 Congressman Goss had submit ted to Mir Harris a copy of the letter General Fox Connor had sent in reply to Congressman Goss telegram, asking for the estab- lishment. of an examination office ill Waterbury. MT Harris de- scribes this letter as merely re- iteration of the orders that came to him showing that candidates from Waterbury and this vicinity had to go to New Haven for ex- animation.
 General Connor's letter stated that due to necessity for economy and to the limited regular army personnel available for the work it appeared impracticable to have more officers than were named.
 MT Harris in his reply to Con- gressman Goss today stated it will cost between $400 and $500 to send candidates from Waterbury and this vicinity to New Haven for examinations. Excerpts from MT. Harris letter state, Tt seems ab- surd to have a medical officer in Waterbury who does all of the ex- amining for the National Guard and not to be able to use him in situation of this kind.

there Is enough sense of humor left in the government to see how utterly ridiculous and absurd 1t is to force an unemployment relief agency to expend $400 to $500 merely because the regular officer of the United States army hasn't enough sense to know that he could utilize the National Guard if he hasn't sufficient personnel in his own organization.
