Newtown Musicians
 Play Here Sunday
Mario DiCeccO Local Man, to Direct Orchestra Society
 in Second Congregational Church Concert

The Newtown Orchestra society one of Connecticut's young but ex- uberant orchestras, has grown from a mere handful of amateurs to a well outfitted body of fifty music fans. Three years ago the Rever- end Paul A. Cullens, former assist ant pastor of the First Church, Waterbury took 1t upon himself to ask several Newtown dilettani to meet weekly and play over some good orchestra music. The group grew by leaps and bounds due to the enthusiasm of the members and the eagerness of Newtown folk to make Newtown the home of a good symphony orchestra.
 The group was brought to the attention of Mario DiCecco of Wa terbury, who has @ weakness for pioneering" in music. MT Di- Cecco was asked to conduct the or- chestra and under his guidance the society has given several concerts. Compositions by Beethoven, Tchai- kowski, Brahms, Mozart, Haydn and other brilliant names in the music world have been played and most enthusiastically applauded. New Workers, summering in New town and vicinity, have been lavish in their praise of the orchestra and have expressed their amaZement at It's size and the quality of the per- formances.
 These people together with the prominent citiZenry of Newton

Mobilization Drive Here Meeting With Gratifying Re-
 suIts-Sheridan Council in End Place for HOnOrs

Based on a report from Hartford late yesterday afternoon Sheridan Council, No. 24. Knights of Colum- bus, has hopes of leading all other councils in the state in the Mobili- zation for Catholic Action. Water- bury had reported 70 new and former members obtained in the campaign up to Thursday and was trailing South Norwalk by five.
 Upon receipt of the information Chairman John P. Martin notified all team captains and urged them to communicate the news to the workers so that all available appli- cations pending might be turned in by Sunday afternoon, when the final meeting in the Mobilization will be held here at the Columbus Club.
 Earlier in the day a message was received from State Reputy Mulli- gan of Hartford congratulating Sheridan Council on the fine work it was doing in the Mobilization.
 MT Mulligan said among other things, "I am not surprised at the showing that Sheridan Council is making in this campaign. It is right in line with the great pro- gress it has made in the last few years in promoting Catholic Action. I feel sure that with such councils as yours leading the way Connec-

AERIAL THEATER
 ON WATR SUNDAY
WOrden's Second Novel Broadcast Features
 Local ThespianS

The second presentation of the Worden's Theater of the Air will be broadcast over WATR at the usual time tomorrow afternoon, 2:30 o'clock. Waterbury's Fedora ton of Women's clubs have late ly been conducting campaign for better radio programs for chil- dren. A departure from the cur rent type of radio feature for young people--the plays and other programs that are designed for a juvenile audience. and that fire the young imagination with ideas that do not make for a healthy and normal child life-is the aim of the work of the clubs. It has been most gratifying to the Worden players and to WATR to learn that the Federation of Women's clubs have given their approval to their anything that would tend to lower work. A presentation free from the ideals and thoughts of child is assiduously aGtiered to by the players and their director, James J. CantweIl. Such goal is parallel with the WATR policy.
 Tomorrow's play will present in the half hour broadcast the united efforts of the actors to convey to their listeners an entertaining and moral story, and according to the amount of mail the studios have received, Torden's theater is anticipated by Waterburians with much pleasure as one of the out standing offerings on the stations schedule of programs.

CANAANITE'S CLAIM DISMISSED TO-DAY

The claim of Frank Tiboni of Canaan against the Oneglia and Gervasini Construction Company of Torrington was dismissed by Commissioner James M. Lynch in decision handed down to-day The finding says the claimant was paid a lump sum settlement in Au- gust of 1893 when the workman said he wanted to go to Italy. He was given $1.67S.56 for complete loss of one eye. He returned to the local court in January of this year and exhibited an unframed condi- ton of the injured eye. Dr D. J.. Maloney. optical expert, testified that the condition of the eye on the claimants latest visit, was in no way connected with the original injury, Commissioner Lynch states. Therefore he denies the claimants claim for medical, surgical and hospital attention,

KIMBALL JAILED;
 ANNOYED WOMAN

An unusual breach of the peace case resulted in a 30-day jail sem tence In city court today for George Kimball, 45, of 227 Bank street. The Jail term was the result of testimony by woman with whom Kimball formerly kept company that the man was annoying her by following her and that he had called several of her creditors, telling them she had plenty of money to her bills and that they should dun her for payemnt.
 Kimball, the woman charged, even arranged a meeting with one of her creditors and took the man to the gate of the factory where she is employed so that he might see her going to work. The breach of the peace charge was technical ly based on a blow allegedly given the woman by the accused eight years ago.

NEW YORK RELIEF
 NUMBER GROWS

New York, March 30 - UP)-
 One-fifth of New York's entire population is existing on relief so
 meager 1t is inadequate to main
 tain the health or well-being of
 the community, a special commit tee reported today after a six
 months survey.
 Only direct competition of the government with private business
 can absorb unemployment in the city, the report said. A dismal picture of future relief administra- tion was painted by the committee appointed by Mayor Fiorello H. La Guardia last October.
 The dole was flatly opposed ex- cept a sa last resort for destitute families and home relief was called an unproductive drain on the com munity. The committee pointed out that the percentage of unem- |ployed remained tsable during 1934,
 but the number of persons on .'e- lief has grown "at a tremendous rate.''
 Families on relief total 341 .451 while 336,000 families with unem-
 ployed wage carners are not re- ceiving aid. The committee warned that resources of the latter group were dwindling fast.

New York, March 30 - (UP)- The progress in transportation is the most impressive achievement of the age to an octogenarian who watched the Pony Express as a young man.
 This observation on the changing times was made by John Hays Hammond, on the eve of his S0th birthday. The noted mining engl- necr, who has worked beneath the surface on four continents and q score of countries. declined to- talk of the achievements of his own generation. Neither would he make prophecy for the future.
 "I don't like to take advice now" Hammond said, land I don't see why anyone worth his salt should want to take mine."
 Hammond has not reached the retirement age and remains active in the direction of many mining enterprises. He contemplates buy. Ing an airplane. but believes air travel should be confined to bus mess. at least for himself.

 This is total of $4O,550,O0O persons who, either under existing or proposed laws. would look to the Federal Government for some measure of support-a number greater than all those who voted for president in 1892. (While there are unquestionably some duplica- tions in the above tabulation, they are offset by the non-inclusion of recipients of benefit payments from the A.A.A.)
 This trend towards increasing the number of direct beneficiaries of Federal funds is one to which every legislator and taxpayer must give most serious concern, both

, with reference to the proposed bill and other legislative proposals.
 Another important factor is that of administering this legislation. The single problem of keeping the individual ledger accounts required under the unemployment and the old age provisions of the bill are staggering. It is probable that no less than 142,000,000 ledger &C., counts will be required for the un- employment and contributory pen sion section alone. This estimate is based upon the assumption that roughly 26,000,000 persons will be covered under unemployment in- surance, and 32,000,000 under the provision for contributory pen sions. For each of the 26,000,OOO persons covered by unemployment insurance, three separate accounts must be kept, one by the employer, one by the State and one by the Federal government, or a total of 7S,000, ,000 accounts. For each of the 32,000,000 persons covered by compulsory old age pensions two accounts would seem to be neces- sary, one by the employer and one by the Federal government, or q total of 64,000.000 accounts. To- gether. these two benefits will ap- parently require no less than 142,- 100000 separate accounts.
