member of the subcommittee handling
the economy provisions Of the inde-

night that the Naval Subcommittee

be several days before the Independ-

resumed its consideration of the war
veterans economy changes, which
must be settled before the independ-
ent Offices bill can be acted on by
the full committee and taken into the
Senate.
This gave rise to speculation over
the possibility that the naval supply
bill might be brought out to the Sem

measure. Although the independent

vocates Of the veterans program want
all four points written into the law,
and they believe they will succeed in
having amendments along these lines
adopted in committee.
If the veterans amendments are
placed in the bill in the committee,
the expectation Is that administra-
ton spokesmen on the committee will
renew in the Senate the point OF
order which was made in the COM
mittee, that the amendments are
legislation, and out of order on the
appropriation bill. The committee
voted IL to 10 to consider the amend
ments as being in order. The raising
of the point of order in the Senate
would open the way for a test vote
on the veterans program.
Senator Dickinson said last night
he is advocating full restoration Of
the pay cut on July l because the
cost of living has increased, and be-
cause the plan Of devaluing the dol
lar will affect the purchasing power
Of salaries. He also declared that the
Government is taking on new ap-
pointees in agencies outside the civil
service at more liberal pay than is
being received by old employees in the
regular establishments.

OGO public works fund. Administrator
Ickes revealed last night that there
are in the Offices here 6,400 non-Fed-
eral applications for loans and grants
of public works money, representing
approximately S2900,000.
The entire public works fund was
exhausted by Federal and Federal
allotments several weeks ago, said Mr..
Ickes, and allotments announced since
that time were the result Of remission
of some earlier allotments.
He said allotments have been made
to date on approximately $4,000 pro-
jects throughout the country, exclusive
of the vast number of projects made
possible by the allotment of S400,000.-
900 to the Civil Works Administration.

salaries, it was learned last night that
it would be possible to proceed with
the naval or some of the other de-
partmental bills first and take up the
independent Offices measure with its
general economy provisions later, If
administration leaders in the Senate
decided on that course.
There is understood to be in the
independent offices bill q general
clause to make available whatever
sums become necessary by reason Of
changes in the rate of pay through
out the Government service. 1t was
explained in reliable quarters that the
items for salaries in the other supply
bills could be left as they are, If those
bills were taken up first, in view of
the general clause referred to in the
independent Offices measure.
There is no certainty, however,
that this course will be followed. BY
the end of this week the Appropri-
ations Committee may be ready to
complete work on the independent
Offices bill and take it to the Senate
first.
Modification Fight Certain.
1t was apparent at the Capitol yes
terday, however, that whenever the
independent Offices bill is taken up
in the Senate, Democratic leaders will
be confronted by efforts to modify
the economy law. both as to veterans
and civilian personnel, to a greater
extent than the administration is be-
lieved to be in favor of at this time.
These movements will be supported
generally by the Republicans and by
some of the Democrats.
Whether they succeed or fail will
depend on how many Democrats vote

Thousands of dollars worth of property damage resulted here Sa- turday and during the early hours of yesterday morning from the se- were wind and rain storm that struck the city. Cellars of down. town business houses were flooded and houses in the outside districts were also turned into pools. Riv- CTS and brooks were considerably swollen in Waterbury and vicinity, also, and the power and telephone systems were considerably ham, pered due to falling limbs torn from their places by the heavy wind.
 Several minor ,washouts occur red in the city streets and only one or two serious ones were report ed. Today the city and public util- ity officials were busy clearing up the repair program necessitated by the storm and business houses and private property owners were en- gagged in pumping the water from cellars.
 Business Affected
 The rain began falling in tor rents Saturday morning and kept business practically at a stand still. The wind, which accompanied the rain, became more and more severe with the result that by eve- ming it was very strong and whip ped trees to and fro. Waterville, the eastern section of the city and the central district were very hard hit by the rain. In Waterville the water flooded cellars up to the first floor. In the East End similar trouble was reported. In the cen- tral part of the city the main thor oughfares were veritable rivers.
 Theaters were hard pressed to keep the water from entering their first floors while cellars were re- ported as being somewhat flooded. Main, lower North Main and South Main streets suffered con- siderably, also. Cellar stock was considerably damaged by the flood waters which swept in over the front curbs into the buildings.

The Waterbury's delegation to the republican state convention will vote as a unit at the session open ing tomorrow and neding Wednes- day, was the opinion expressed to- day by Attorney Frederick w. Po- lomba, local town chairman and duly elected head of the group of eight who will represent the Brass City at Hartford gathering. Chair man Palomba however, refused to commit the local delegation, ex- plaining that the delegates are un- instructed and can vote individual ly if they desire to do so.
 Unofficial reports, however, are to the effect that the Waterbury delegates will be a unit force be- hind Lieutenant Governor Roy Wilcox of Meriden for the guber- material nomination. There were reports that some of the local dele gates were leaning towards States Attorney Hugh Alcorn of Hart ford in a luke-warm manner.
 Town Chairman Palomba's state ment of belief that the entire dele gation from here will be for Will cox is based on the belief that the entire group will abide by the de- sires of the majority. Waterbury republicans are known to be behind the Wilcox campaign for the gubernatorial nomination.
