 "Heil Hitler, Savior of Germany"

 FORCES OF CITY
Have Not Kicked About
 Wage Slash of Skilled CWA Workers

Local labor officials have not protested to Waterbury's CWA ad- ministrator, William M. Harris, against the changes in the sched- ule of pay to be given CWA skilled workers under new rates adopted in Washington, D. C.. Under the new schedule painters and carpen- ters have been slashed. The local cut has been accepted as satisfac- tory although in Manchester yes terday the painters laid down their brushes and went on strike with the result that they were quickly given a raise of 25 cents an hour.
 In Waterbury, though, the paint CTS and carpenters were cut only 20 cents an hour while the slash in Manchester amounted to 45 cents an hour. The original rate was S1.2O an hour. Local painters and carpenters working for the CWA now receive $1, hourly. In Manchester they were cut to 75 cents. The 25 cents increase brings them up on a par with the local men. The slashes were made on basis of current pay. There are a number of painters and carpen- ters on the Waterbury CWA rolls.

Though the government has con ceded that only Kaminski wielded the two-foot joist with which Guard Merritt w. Hayden, 49, was battered to death, it had demand ed the death penalty for both de- fendants on the ground that the crime was committed while they were engaged in a common enter Lrice-a jail break.
