! FEAR'DAV|S DEFENDS
TIER FARM PAYOFF

Government benefit payments
to farmers now going out at rate
of more than $100,O00,000 per day
"are part of these farmers earned
income" and have no relation to
the November elections, Chester c.
Davis, AAA head, declared today.
He conceded that increased
farm income has a direct relation
to political sentiment.
He added:
81 think increasing farm in.
come always has some effect.
1 think it is evidence that the
Administration is doing some
thing positive about the farm
question"
Mr.. Davis administration has
been under a barrage from Repub-
lican campaign spokesmen ever
since the Maine elections, when
they charged that huge Govern
ment benefit payments from PWA,
FERA, and other agencies had
flooded the State.

Remodeling of the old Patent
Office Building and widening OF
F. Street, between Seventh and
Ninth Streets Northwest, was def
nitely placed today at the top of
the list of local projects approved
by the National Park Service.
Just what significance is at
tached to the priority given the
project would not be discussed by
Federal officials. Priority was an
nounced following a query by the
PWA from the National Park Ser
vice.
Further conferences this week
between Arno B. Cammerer ana
Secretary of the Interior 1ckeS
were scheduled to be held within
the next few days.
Two plans are now before Gov
ernment officials for the widening.
The more comprehensive plan,
which calls for expenditures OF
100000, requires a grant of the
funds by the PWA or a special con-
gressional appropriation.
If this grant is turned down,
Mr.. Cammerer will consider the
program submitted by Captain H.
c. Whitehurst. of the District
Highway Department, under
which plan the narrow and con-
gested area would be widened by
three feet, but would provide for
the initiation Of two-way traffic,
at a cost to the District Of
$4,000.

BERLIN, oct. II G.N.S0.
Great anxiety and concern pre-
vail for the safety of Chancellor
Adolf Hitler in view of the Mar
seille tragedy, International News
Service learned from sources close
to the chancellor today.
His intimate advisers again are
attempting to persuade the chan
cellor to be careful and to allow
them to cast a foolproof protec-
tive net around his public move
ments and appearances.
But Hitler is adamant in his
practically fatalistic a tilt u d e,
maintaining that if the worst hap
pens he is ready to sacrifice his
life for Germany and the Nazi
cause.
His adjutant, Herr Brueckner,
and the S. A. chief, Heinrich
Himmler, repeatedly point out to
Hitler the riskiness of allowing
the public to approach through
police lines to greet him and his
frequent abandonment of his own
car in huge gatherings to walk
through crowds.
Hitler, although admittedly a
bit nervous, admits crowds and,
when an unknown person dashes
up, he sticks to the convention
that the public has a right to
meet him personally.

Whistle On Toot

The Naugatuck fire whistle went on toot last night. Once 1t got started it just couldn't stop and it gave the local residents a prolong- ed lesson in "blow your own horn" The first alarm from Box 72 on City Hill street occurred about 72 and then the whistle began repeat ing 72 like a football quarterback who had forgotten the next signal and didn't dare stop.
 The reason for the prolonged blast was that three alarms were rung in through mixup. Many volunteers responded, thinking 1t d big fire.
 The first fire was at the home of Herman Hackensen, APO North Main street in a building owned by John M. Linskey. It was caused by an oil burner. A chair and rug were burned. At 8 o'clock number IS, box near the Risdon cofpany, was rung in. A Ford car owned by Michael Seach of Andrew avenue. according to local firemen. was on fire. This blaze was quickly ex- tinguished with only the side of car being damaged.
 Police cooperation via the fire partment proved quite efficient. Off, apparatus system in the police de- ficer James ~Cuddy on duty at head quarters received the box number from this system. instantly notified James Fenton who was on duty at the corner of Main and Maple

Warden Speaks

The Fall election is important to the democratic party, he said. The trend for victory should not begin in five or six weeks. It started when President Roosevelt won the presidential election and should continue.
 He said he would rather attend convention of this sort where various problems are worked out together than go into one where the voter is told just what course to take by a machine leadership,
 Naugatuck will give the party victory by an overwhelming mar gin, in the fall election, he pre- dicted. He foresaw a 25,0OO vote margin for the democrats in the state. The campaign should begin tonight, he said. He urged good feeling in the party. Chairman Burke at the meeting thanked all for their patience and thanked their assistance.

Naugatuck, Aug 1z-The dove of peace hovered near the windows 6f the borough courtroom last night at the democratic town con Vention in case any except verbal brickbats might be 1oosed. How ever, at the close of the meeting the dove was still intact, although tts feathers were slightly ruffled.
 The convention, which it had been expected would prove entirely harmonious, developed several dis putes, but there were no serious outbursts. With the aid of two re- cesses harmony or at least the ap- pearance of 1t prevailed.
 The major point of issue seemed to be whether or not delegates should be pledged. Despite the fact all delegates attending were in favor of Judge D. Emmett Shea for renomination, they divided on other conventions.
 All were in favor of instructlng the delegates to the probate ana 10 the senatorial conventions to pc pledged to Judge Thomas Shea and Thomas Grant, respectively, local candidates for the Senatorial nomination. But when 1t came to pledging the delegates to vote spe- officially for Attorney J. Joseph Smith of Waterbury for the nom1- nation for. congressman from the fourth district and J. Edward Slavin of Milford for the nomina- lion of sheriff at the schievalty convention, there was 8 distinct protest.
 The dissenters were led by Rich ard Parkinson and Alec J. Me Carthy. They first opposed mo- ton that the county convention delegates be pledged to Slavin. A test vote on this found 12 for the motion and opposed.
 Rocco Mariana who had been rolected as a candidate, said he wished to withdraw because he did not intend to pledge himself to vote for anybody. A recess of 10 minutes was then called. When the delegates returned, the pledg- ing motion was withdrawn and a motion was made that the delega- ton vote as a unit with the major ity ruling. This passed with no opposition.

Warden Satisfied

warden John sheridan today stated he was quite satisfied with the outcome of the dispute over piedging in the congressional con- vention. He considers he won a victory. The warden had proposed the delegates be pledged to Atty Smith of Waterbury.
 This evoked storm of protest. MT Reynolds, who last spring with drew his slate of delegates at the town convention in favor of Mr the latter to get the nomination strenuously objected.
 T am not going to be pledged to vote for anybody" he said. No body is going to put a halter around my neck or drag me up there. Nobody can assure MT Smith that I surely am going to vote for him.
 Alec Mccarthy also objected, saying that in view of the fact the unit rule where the majority rules had been adopted for other con- ventions he said he didn't see why any change should be made. Per sonally, I am against pledged dele gates," he added. Joseph Neal, third ward committeeman, an- nounced his opposition to the mo- tion. MT Mccarthy clarified his stand by saying he was for pledg- ing for local men but not for out of-town candidates. A standing vote taken then showed only 10 for the motion. Chairman Burke did not call for a mo- vote for Warden Sheriden proposed a five minute recess.

SculIy Quite Indignant

Matthew Scully, pugnacious third ward delegate, injected some hu- nor into the convention. MT Scully was the only one to register op- position to MT Parkinson's motion that delegates who could not go to the state convention pick their own delegates. MT Parkinson had said this convention was an expensive proposition and probably some delegates could not afford it.
 There was voice vote on this and the motion was carried with MT Scully being the sole dissenter. MT Scully demanded a standing vote. T don't think it's fair" he said. You mad standing vote on the county convention motion. Why not on this" Chairman Burke reminded him that the motion had been properly passed but through out the convention MT Scully was still claiming a standing vote should have been made.
 In a short address at the close of the convention Warden Sheridan eulogized the democratic party. Ut helps the persons in everyday life who has to sell his services to live. They realize that under democratic rule they have better chances of securing employment and. succeed ing" he said, than they have un- der the rule of former Hooverites."
