CCC Registration
 Is Due Next Week
EagIerIy Awaited By Hundreds of Young Men-Maior
 General Fox ConnOr to Issue Call

Re-opaning of registration for the eco camps, impatiently await ed by hundreds of young men in this city, will probably be an- nouuced next week. Major General Fox Connor, in charge of enroll- ment for this district, has an- nounced the opening date for registration as the 29th of the cur rent month in letters sent to the headquarters of several districts and it is expected that a similar communication will be received here within a few days.
 For the past month the office in the Lincoln house building on Field street has been crowded with ap- plicants for CCC berths. They come singly and in pairs, and in groups of three or more, always with the question, Anything doing on camp yet?"
 Rush Expected
 Although the reply is always in the negative they continue to come back. Assurance that when the eagerly awaited announcement Is finally made there will be news paper notice only has the effect of increasing the rush. Anything i'll the newspapers bearing CCC in the headlines is the signal for a united descent upon the office by scores of hopeful applicants.
 'It's my/belief that most of them read only the headlines, and thon drop the paper to dash over to the office and put in an early applica- tion," says Wallace J. Inglis. CCC administrator for the local district.

IN FILA
 SHOWN BY PUBLIC
Public Asks Many Ques- tions Especially on
 MOdernizatiOn Loans

Widespread and growing public interest in the Better Housing pro- gram is shown by the daily bar rage of questions received by let. ter, wire and telephone from property owners in all sections of the country, chiefly concerning moderf1ization loans.
 According to FILA officials, taxes are among the chief worries of the questioners, the most frequent be- ing whether part of moderniza- tion loan may be used to pay taxes. The answer to this is definitely mo-. Every dollar of every mod ernization loan must go directly for payment of repairs, alterations and improvem ents of real property
 A companion question is whether property owners, delinquent in their taxes, are eligible for mod ernization loans. The answer is that the matter is left entirely to the discretion of the bank or other lending institution, with the one proviso that no part of the loan itself must be used to pay these taxes.
 Some inquircrs who want to move their houses are told that a loan for such purpose is eligible, although there is a rule against loans on movable" property. 4 house is considered permanent in spite of it's shift of base.
 Many questions concern movable property. There are numerous in- quiries concerning loans on port able overhead irrigation channels. The answer to these questions is that a portable channel is not eligi- ble. Several recent inquiries were about sound equipment for thea ters and churches, the answer be- ing that the wiring for sound equipment is eligible but that the actual sound machinery is not. Oil burners, gas burners, air condi- tioning equipment. kitchen ranges and similar equipment are eligible when built-in.
 Some dilemmas are quickly de- cided and some are not. One man who lives in one city and owns property in another wanted to know in which city to apply for his loan. The answer was in either city.
 Another unique problem was presented by property owner whose four sons earned all the in- come for the family. He wanted to know whether he could get a modernization loan on the income of these four sons. The answer was to take this particular prob-

didate for the senatorship. In 1920, he was defeated by Sem, ator Frank B. Brandegee whose scat he was later des- tined to fill. In 1928, he again. sought the senatOrship and once more was defeated. Sue. cess finally came in 1882 when, nominated for the third time, he was elected in what the entire nation considered an amazing political upset and in spite of the fact that President Hoover carried Connecticut.
 Brother Lonergan has the distinction of being the first democrat elected by popular vote to sit in the senate from Connecticut. Up to 1918, when the seventeenth amendment was ratified. senators were chosen by legislatures, and it was in this manner that his democratic predecessor was se- lected. Senator William w. Eaton, who terminated his membership in the senate in 1882, was the last democrat to have served before Brother Lonergan.,
 In his short career in the senate-he took his seat in the memorable session that began in March, 1883 = Brother LOnergan has won a high place in the estimation of his colleagues and has displayed those qualities of statesman- ship that point him out as one who will be among the most outstanding in the senate as his term DrOgreSSeS.

Over 200 on List

Over 200 on List
 Waterbury could easily place 200 men in the camps, MT Inglis be- lieves. It is not probable, however, that the quota allotted to this city will come anywhere close to this figure. The quota for the last en- listment was approximately 90, and the present national enrolment now closely approaches the maxi mum. An enrolment peak of S65,O00, to which the registration is limited by act of Congress, has nearly been reached. It is there- fore believed that there will be no increase in district quotas in spite of the added demand.
 Student Apply
 Many of the applicants in recent months are graduates of the high schools who have been unable 10 find work. Rather than spend the winter in idleness, and encouraged by glowing reports of the camp life from friends who have served en- listments, they are hopeful of find- ing jobs with the eco.

|C. 0. P. PLATFORM | UNDER SCRUTINY
Tavern Keepers Favor the Democratic Plan of
 Modification

With the state conventions now gone into history, the tavern and restaurant men of this city have turned an almost complete about face and are now prepared to gather all their forces behind the democratic, instead of the repub- 1ican ticket in the coming fall elections. The liquor dealers. after expecting for months that it would be the g. o. D. which would be the party that would earn their SUD- port in the gubernatorial elections, now generally believe that their best hopes lie with the democrats.
 The democratic platform asks for modification of the present state control laws. with the most probable development being the permisison for hotels and restaur- ants to sell hard liquor. This does not meet with the favor of the tavernmen, put they, on the other hand, fear that States Attorney Hugh Alcorn, if elected governor. would force the passage of regu- lations even more stringent than the ones in force at present.
 County control, in force before prohibitio and now sought again by the republicans in their plat form, would mean the closing of all taverns on Sundays, which is another point being considered by the local dealers. Furthermo ore, despite pleas earlier this year by some government that county control should be sought, most of the leaders of the Retail Beer. Wine and Liquor Merchants assu- citation of Connecticut feel that el'- forts to win the return of county control are unwise and woul.l alienate considerable public sym pathy.

 In many instances, it was point ed out, the only way to get a final answer is. to apply for a modern ization loan and let the lending in- stitution decide. The lending in- stitution is authorized to make the loan at its discretion, within the liberal regulations made by the FILA, and is never under the least compulsion to make loan against it's judgment.
