NAUGATUCK SPORTS
Badmlnton Tournament

Past weeks games in Badminton developed many up-sets.
 The greatest upset was the match between Hurt-Harrington and the Pease-Zonino setto. The Fl & H pair defeated their rivals two out of three.
 Another great upset was Koth- Kiernan. The Ks stick together pretty we'll, for at the beginning of the tournament, Roth had Kaiser for his partner and he had Kaiser playing very good game but the second K moved out or the citya nd Kiernan was substi- tuted in Kaiser's place. Although Kiernan is new at the game, he is showing a marked improvement. Last night Roth played so hard that he broke three racquets one which landed on Kiernan's head, accidently, but Kiernan was back again today.

WATERFOWL BOYS MAKE TITLE BID
 THOMASTON
Win for Deland Squad To- night Settle Western
 Connecticut Crown

Insofar as Al Deland's Water- town high school basketball squad is concerned, the championship of the Western Connecticut league will hinge on the result of the game at Thomaston tonight, featuring the Watertown and Thomaston high schooi teams. The game Is the second between the teams, Watertown having won the first conte t, but Mandy Greens lads are decidedly hard to pace on their own court, and for that reason plus the improvement in the Thomaston play, some fans look for a sur- prise win. A full house will prob ably be on hand to see the town rivals clash, following a prelimin- ary game at 7:30 o'clock. For Wa tertown Ericson and Jasilunas will take the tap from Kiesel at center with Roden and Puzak in the backcourt, while the staretrs for Thomaston include Thulin and Mushlook, forwards, Olcese, cen- ter and Johnston and Gays, guards.

WALTER IS GIVEN
NEW n. R. A. TITLE
District Cases to Be Handled
by Him in National Com
pIiance Division.

Maj. Raymond J. Walter, who since
the inception Of N. r. A. has served
voluntarily as executive officer for the
District Of Columbia Compliance Board,
today was given an official position in
which he will continue to handle code
and employment complaints for the
District.
The position was created for Maj.
Walter when it was learned that the
National Emergency Council had made
no provision for State director for the
District of Columbia.
The new post will be directly under
John Swope, chief of the field section
of tie national compliance division,
and Walter will have assigned to him
the handling Of all cases arising in
the District.
In organizing the National Emergency
Council it was felt that no State di-
rector was needed in the Capital, since
all emergency headquarters Offices are
located here and the establishment of
a State branch would merely mean a
duplication of personnel.
Considerable pressure was brought to
bear upon Gen. Hugh S. johnson, N.
R A. administrator by Washington
in his job. Instead of functioning under
the N. E. c., the post will be under
N. r. A., and Maj. Walter is expected
tc move his headquarters from the
Board Of Trade offices in The Star
Building to the Department of Com
merce as soon as the necessary arrange
ment for transfer of records can be
made.
Maj Walter expects to take with him
Miss Inez Warren, who has served as
his secretary since he assumed his du-
ties last Summer. Miss Warren will
continue in her present duties at the
new Office

The Vinson-T -Trammell bill authoriz-
ing construction of the Navy up to full
treaty strength was approved today by
the Senate Naval Committee as the
House prepared to pass 1t. possibly
within few hours.
The committee approved the bill
without a record vote after short
hearing in which Admiral William H.
Standley estimated the cost Of the
program at about s475 100000
Representatives of several peace or
ganizations protested the legislation as
a terrific threat" to the 1885 Naval
Conference and contended its only pur-
pose was to provide contracts for snip
building companies.
Powers Given President.
On the recommendation of the Navy.
the committee modified the bill to give
President Roosevelt broad power 10
purchase naval aircraft in numbers
commensurate with treaty Navy IN
stead of the original provisions for
specific limitation OF 2,184 planes.
More planes for the Navy and a
method of training youthful pilots for
the Nations Air Force had. been put
forward in the House yesterday as
separate phases of the sudden drive to
build up the country's defensive WORKS.
The House Naval Committee took the
first step toward doubling the Navy S

tries were building up their armament.
Junior Air Reserve Bill.
Chairman McSwain of the House
Military Committee, meanwhile, intro
duced a bill to authorize creation OF a
Junior air corps reserve as civilian
component of the Army. In it, all phy-
sically sound youths between l8 and Il
could obtain Army training to qualify
them as pilots.
Rainey. who has visited Russia and
advocated recognition of the Soviet for
years, said he thought the new regula :
tions between the United States and
that country contributed more to world
peace than any other development in
recent years"
He told the anti-war delegation fatty
he was not for program which would
"disband our Army and Navy and turn
over the C.. c. c. to civilians"
He also predicted the House would
pass today the treaty Navy bill with
an authorization for the President to
order the construction of all airplaneS
needed by the modernized feet.
