State Officials Are Making City The Goat
State Labor Commissioner Tone and Governor Cross Replace Trained C. w. A. Workers Here With
 Untraned Men and Women From Yale

Indignation was considerable in Waterbury to-day as reports spread that the personnel committee of the state advisory council of the Con- necticut Free Employment service has practically decided on change in the local state-federaI employ ment office. Much criticism was heard of State Labor Commissioner Joseph Tone for letting his original be subsi dized or released in favor of co1lege-trained ex- ecutives. The state-federal bureaus now. nanife afisCWA employment. Furthermore, Governor Wilbur L.. Cross and his advisors came in for considerable criticism here to- day because of the fact that most of the CWA directors to be chosen upon the recommendation of the personnel committee call for ap- pointments for Yale men. Why most of the posts should go to Yale men or to women looked upon with favor by Yale officials hold ing important positions through out Connecticut, is g. very important question being asked.
 Tn other words, the people Of Waterbury and, undoubtedly, thou sands of citizens throughout Con necticut are disgusted with the move to replace practical trained men with college graduates. The fear is that the state and natlon will go into the hands of college men and that those without such training will be relegated to the ranks of mo nothings."
 It is now feared that Mrs Nellie Hayden will be forced to release her. post as assistant superintendent of the local employment bureau and that Arthur Maloney, present superintendent. will be either re- leased or reduced to the ranks Of the ordinary employed. Both these
