 Lloyd appears first in "The Cats Paw as the son of an Amer ican missionary, who has spent vir- tually all his life with his father in the interior of China. At 27, his folk feel it is time for him to returned to his native land, and seek himself a wife. He thus is thrown into the maelstrom of life in an American city of 100000 at first like fish out of water. He unknowingly becomes the tool of interruptions politicians, but, when he becomes mayor of the city. through accident, he tries to ap- ply Chinese philosophy to his op- erations of the government. He refuses to become "The Cats Paw" of the defeated gang, and, in turn, they frame him. How he extricates himself from an unen- viable position, forms the basis of the finest story the comedian has ever filmed, and carries an audi ence through a sweeping change Of comedy. drama and thrilling ad- venture. M The companion feature is Among the Missing" with Richard Cromwell.

 USHERS IN SEASON
N. Y. Orchestra, Sokoloff Directing Delights
 Audience

A concert by the New York or- chestra with the skillful conduc-
 tor. Nikolai rSokoloff as conductor, opened the Community concert ser, ies in this city last night at the l Buckingham hall. The group of over sixty musicians and MT So.
 koiOff were given an enthusiastic reception by an audience most ap- preciative of the. fine character of the work Of the musicians. There was a. we'll chosen program played | and directed carefully and bril- liantly with very artistic and hap l py results in the presentation of compositions of comparatively modern. composers. Nikolai will | be remembered from previous pro- fessional appearances here as con- ductor of the Cleveland Symphony orchestra.
 Mir Sokoloff is noted for his choice of programs which may not l conform to the usual type played by symphony orehestras. He has | been noted for his program innova- tions. Summer colonies at Weston, :, Connecticut. and neighboring towns and cities have had great | enjoyment in his concerts begun in that vicinity few. seasons ago, when he first associated himself with the new group known as the New York symphony.
 l Brahms Academic Overture was the opening number of last nights concert, and is we'll described in a program note which says of this
 festival overture its jollity is tempered by the mature mind of the composer"
 | This was followed by the splen- did symphony No. 5, Op. 64 of
 Tchaikovsky, which, opens with the Andante which has a heavy, mournful character, later Tighten ed in the Allegro con anima theme. Four movements com prised this number-Andante, AL bile con alcua licenza-Valse: AL legro moderato-and Finale: An dante maestosa, Allegro. Allegro vivace.
 | Following an intermission three distinctive and colorful orches. trations were presented. Wagncrs Rhine Journey from Dusk of the | Gods; Rabaud's La Procession Nocturne", and Gliere's Russian Sailor Dance from The Red Pop py." The three were of con- lrasting nature. the Wagerian characteristic tonic of the first. the
 solemn tone of the symphonic poem in the second, and the light and boisterous type of the ballet music in the third.

 responded to an encore and the conductor also spoke briefly 10 the audience. The second concert in the Community series will take
 place February 5 when Carola

 MT Shannahan says that it looks as though there will be thousandss of marchers in line. Of course the parade will be headed by Mayor Frank Hayes, who is making q whirlwind campaign around t11ez state. He expects to lead the pa~s rade on foot and will be fanked7 on the right by John H. Crary, chairman of the democratic party and also ''big chief" in the ar-z engagements for the rally. Mr Crary loves to walk and as a ru1o is few steps ahead of the pro~ cesison. That's why he has kept. his organization together for so many years.
 Two years ago Waterbury ga8ef the state ticket real recept1on;s but the one next week promises to- surpass it. All of the city officla1g' will be in line and will step aIonEs to the music of several bands. Inc: parade is no closed affair and aux' person, who so desires, is welcome to fall in. Judging from repor<s, everybody who is anybody in the democratic party will have walking shoes on that evening.

Physical Welfare
 Records Kept By
 Scout Executive
Youngsters Trained in Life Saving, First Aid, Swim ming Taught Value of Good Health and Checked
 Frequently For Fitness in Games

During the past year more than 200 scouts of the local council have qualified for scouting tests along health and safety lines. according to report released by Scout Ex- ecutive Arthur D. Marston.
 For several years the Waterbury council has taken necessary pre- cautions with reference to the physical fitness of scouts who par. ticipate in general scouting activi- ties. When scouts are admitted to camp, each is given a physical ex- animation to determine his fitness to enter into all of the various strenuous camp activities. Personal record cards are kept by the camp medical officer, and leaders make reference to these records when considering scouts to participate in hikes, swimming activities and spe- cial athletic events.
 All Scouts Examined
 Sea scout leaders cause all mem bers of the sea scout crews to un- dergo a proper physical examina- tion when sea scouts are to par ticipate in cruises and other ac- tivities on or in the water. thus guaranteeing their fitnes sto par ticipate with safety.
 The council committee on health and safety, of which Dr Joseph l.. Hetzel Is chairman, with other local physicians of the committee. cooperates when necessary in the planning of physical check-ups of scouts and leaders where needed to determine the physical welfare of those participating in general and special scouting activities.
 Badges For Efficiency
 Council officials make check up on the general safety hazards which may be encountered at the scout camps. and troop meeting places to also assure the safety of our membership.

A friendly gesture of the "hands across the sea" type is combined with an interesting exchange of ideas i'm the prac- tice inauguratcd recently at SlOcum, Russell, Bunker Hill, and Anderson schools under the direction of Miss Anna F. Pagan of the Junior Red Cross.
 Students of the schools unite i'm supplying materials for portfolios sent to students of their own age. in foreign cOun- tries, who return similar data.

 Whether or not this will have the effect of revolution izing the Yugoslavian dress dustry, Mrs Ladd was not pre- pared to say.

Greatest Vote Getters
 Enlivening Campaign
Candidates of Mayor Hayes, Judge Slavin Viewed With Keen Public Interest -G.OP. Tribute Recalled

During the early stages of the campaign there was talk of repub- licans again indorsing Judge Sla- win. It so happens he wasn't in- dorsed but 1t is very strange to find the number of voters who believe he. hasn't actually been indorsed.
 Judge-A Democrat Always
 At times when Endorsement from the g.o.p, came unsolicited to him, Judge Slavin remarked character istically that while thankful for the honor, yet he wished it under stood that he was a democrat first, last and always and that his allegi- ance to his own party was tanta- mount to everything else.
 The democrats are expecting great things at the polls a week from Tuesday from their two wor- thy warriors, Judge Slavin and Mayor Hayes.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-10-27

Leaders of both parties concede an impressive democratic victory here, the only question being that of the majority.
 Those speculating on the major ity are mindful that the democratic party here this year has two of the greatest vote getters of all time paired together on the ticket in the persons of Judge Slavin and Mayor Frank Hayes, candidate for lieutenant governor. They are as- sured the solid support of their own party and republicans admit they will cut deeply into the g.o.p. vote.
 Mayor Hayes in recent elections satisfactorily proved his ability to reach into the republican column for gratifying complimentary
 G. O. F. Tribute
 Judge Slavin ably demonstrated his ability to do the same election after election, so much so in fact that leading republican lawyers and officials of every bank and trust company in this city, in a circular signed by them sometime ago said:
 Repeated re-elections to
 the office of probate judge
 have demonstrated the trust
 and confidence which the peo-
 pie of this district repose in
 Judge Slavin's capacity and in- tegrity.
 From the strict standpoint of the welfare of the republi- can party these campaigns have demonstrated the utter futility of nominating an un- tried and inexperienced candi- date to contest the election. Such campaigns are waste of party energy and are in no way helpful to the success of the g.o.p., but on the contrary are often prejudicial to the hocf ipforasf of fbo na rfy Ft.7s

COSS CRITICIZES
 PWA MONEY
Express Opinion That Con- gress Should Select
 Projects
Special to the Democrat)


 Seymour, Oct. 26-Speaking at republican rally in Stanley hall here tonight. Congressman Edward w. Goss of Waterbury declared it was his belief that PWA funds should be expended on projects se- lected by congress rather than upon those selected by engineers and government departments. He claimed the program is not coor- dinated, citing the plan wherein farm products are ployed under in one section of the country while ucts in another.
 A large audience heard the Wa terbury congressman talk on Ma tional Issues As I Have Seen Them" He touched on old age pen sion, unemployment insurance, the 30 hour working week and the continuation of the MIRA and tho PWA. He said he had been in close contact with these issues in Wash ington and lauded the motive be- hind most of them. He does not look kindly upon the 30 hour week however, feeling it might hinder, instead of help, the working man. SSS- sion of congress would enact con- siderable social legislation and that men of experience should be at Washington to judge the new mea- sures from experiences of the past. MT Goss said he believed the MIRA is necessary for the administration of a program that calls for the spending sof ten billions of dollars for unemployment relief and ex- plained that if necessary, five bill lion would be expended for PWA relief next year.
 MT Goss said the only objection he has to those major programs is the way in which thief unds are expended. He thought more fair and equitable distribution would result in bigger benefits in New England and particularly, Connec- ticut.
