DRY LAW CONV|CTS
HOPE FOR LIBERTY
$500 U. S. Prisoners Are
Encouraged by Cum.
mings' Statement.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Msny of the 1900 Federal prohibi-
tl0n prisoners were hopeful today
that they soon would receive free
dom.
They found encouragement in a
statement to newspaper men last
night by Attorney General Cummings
that very favorable" consideration
would be given to applications for
ienlency from prisoners whose only
crime was violation of the liquor
law
The Attorney General received re-
Porters shortly after the Supreme
Court had ruled that all pending
Federal prohibition cases must be
dropped In view of repeal.
Applications to Increase.
An increase in the number OF ap-
pilcations for pardons was expected
by officials. There has been no gain,
however. since repeal became effective
December S.
Applications are referred to Pardon
Attorney James Finch, who studies
them' drafts an opinion and presents
IL TO the Attorney General. If the
Attorney General believes the appli-
cation should be granted. he refers
the case to the President for final
action.
Cummings said considerations to be
weighed are the general character of
the applicant, his criminal record
aside from liquor ottenses and the
number of prohibition convictions
against him
Asserting that outstanding racket
eers would not find the going easy,
cummings said the department would
be lenient toward the little fellow
VINO more or less drifted into boot
Logging"
He added the department is up-to-
date in passing on applications for
leniency.
Representative Mcleod. Republican.
OF Michigan, said he would renew his
efforts to get action on his resolution
TO pardon those convicted of prohi-
bltIon violations.
Mcleod introduced the resolution
at the special session last Spring
In Ii he proposed that the President
oy proclamation pardon all dry law
Vi0latorS.
he plans to ask Chairman Sum-
nerS OF the House Judiciary Commit
tee to hold hearings in vie" of the
supreme Courts ruling

.IJENCKES BACKS
WORK LEAVE

Representative Virg | MIA E.
Jenckes CD of Indiana has an.
nounced that she will do her full
share" to bring about the enact
ment of legislation calling for
restoration of 80 days annual
leave for Government employees.
In radio address last night she
said she feels confident that the
coming session of Congress will see
the SoundneSs and justice of such
legislation, adding:
Now that there is a marked
tendency toward reduction Of
the length of the working week
and toward the five-day week in
industry, there is ample justifi-
cation for permitting Govern
employees to share in this reStOra-
tion.
"Since there is no indication
that administrative officers in
the Government service will seek
q five-day week or reduced hours
for employees, it seems only fair
that they sE ould give back to
these workers what has been
taken away from them, namely,
one half of their former annual
leave"

Naugatuck, July 26 = A con- tinued shakeup in the personnel of the town hall employees will take place, it was learned today. Mrs Daniel Mead, who has been work ing as secretary to Superintendent of Public Welfare N. Hadley Cox, will get through within few days. Mrs Mary Mayberry has been working in this office for several weeks now preparing to take her place.
 This is all part of plan to clean republicans out of town offices, which was promised by Warden John Sheridan at the start of his administration. Reports have 1t Superintendent Cox has been re- luctant to part with the services of Mrs Mead, but pressure has been brought to bear by the war den.
 It is understood Mrs Mead was scheduled to have left several weeks ago and has been kept on in direct opposition to the wishes of the administration. At the recent conference between the warden, Superintendent Cox and Christina Groh there was considerable dis cussion of this job, it was learned today.

 The undercover battle between the warden and the local EZRA is by no means over. It is a known fact the warden opposes the Beth any airfield project because he feels that the town is really using EZRA funds on what amounts practically to private land. ai- though the town has leased 1t.
 The appointment of Miss Cath erine Brennan to take the EZRA investigator post recently held py Miss Margaret Bull has been ten- tatively approved by Miss Tanner, EZRA state official, 1t was learned today.
 Republicans claim Warden Sher- idan by his busting of g.o.p. mem bers is simply digging pit into which he will fall. They say merit should count regardless of party, but the democrats point to the fact that few if any democrats were kept on when the republicans were in power.
 Warden Sheridan has not taken any action yet on the employment bureau which he is trying to nave located here, but he expects some- thing definite in regard to 1t with. in a week or two.
