 NEW FAMILIES
 IN WATERBURY
They Took Up Residence Here Within the Past
 Two Weeks

Continuing the trend reflected this autumn, a total of 23 families from other cities established resi- dence in Waterbury during the two-week period ending Saturday. according to the bi-weekly bulle- tin of the Waterbury Credit Rating Bureau of the Chamber o fCom- merce. The number of new fam lilies here hismonth is the highest figure reached in several years here.
 Thus far no plausible explana- ton, of the reason for the many neww families making their homes here has been advanced and an- alysts are somewhat puzzled over the reason for the influx. Most of the new Waterbury families are from Connecticut and Massa chu- setts, but some are from points as distant as Detroit and Indianapolis.
 The bi-weekly service bulletin also shows that 53 deaths were re- corded in the city during the two weeks, while there were 30, births. There were 16 marriages, while 33 couples filed intentions of mar riage.
 Eighteen building permits were issued, mainly for the erection and improvement of private dwellings.

 tiOnS on December 1

Washington, Nov 27-(UP) =. Complete reorganization of the federal liquor law enforcement staff was under way today under personal supervision of Secretary of Treasury Henry Morgenthau, Jr.

About 5000 took the tests. Treasury officials said dis missal of the investigators, most of whom had formerly been employed by the department of justice liquor enforcement during prohibition, had thrown the enforcement prob lem into chaos. The investigators are to be discharged Friday.
 The remaining 400 investigators, who passed the test, will be dis tributed in key posts throughout the country to instruct new recruits in their jobs. Treasury officials said some question had arisen whether the 1000 employees will be dis missed or put on a furloughed sta tus. At any rate, they said, they will be dropped from the payroll, Dec 1. Meanwhile, departmental officials said a vigorous enforce ment drive would go on to the lim- it of restricted facilities" They admitted. however, that training of a large and new staff would put back efforts to end bootlegging many months.
