Cities Of State Set
 PaceIn Police Radio
Hartford New Haven Plan HOOk-Ups With NeighbOr-
 ing Towns s-AgitatiOn Here of Little Avail,

Waterbury will be the only one of the four major cities in Con- necticut without a police radio system within the next few months, as soon as new equipment has been installed in New Haven and Hartford, an argument that is expected to be used with consider able emphasis by those favoring the establishment of police-r dio protection for this city.
 Agitation for a police radio sys- tenn in Waterbury rose to a high pitch last year and it was thought for time that 1t might become a reality this year. No funds for its installation were allotted in the 1885 budget, however, when the latter figures were prepared and only a transfer or special appro- priation can make police radio possible here this year.
 It was estimated by experts last year, acting unofficially, that in- stallation of the most modern type or radio sending and receiving equipment here would cost from $5,000 to $7,000. This equipment, of the two-way type which would enable communication not only from headquarters but from car to headquarters and car to car, would be sufficient for installation in a central sending station and in all police motor patrol cars, detec- tive bureau cars, the chiefs car and the fire department chiefs car.
 Bridgeport Pioneer
 Bridgeport opened its police ra- dio station months ago and ex-3 tremely satisfactory results have been gained thus far in he Park City. After a close study of the situation, Hartford has completed plans for the installation of a ra- dio system in the police depart ment. The Hartford system will be only of the one-way type at first but will be eventually devel- oped into a two-way system. New Haven now has arranged similar action, and will have police radio in action within few months.
 Hartford and New Haven both hope to have their radio systems joined with those of nearby, small

posting letter in mail box in this city. He is alleged to be the person the investigators were searching for.
 After his arrest he was brought before the federal authorities and held for violating the postal laws, a federal offense.
 Alienists were called into tho case to examine Brown as to his sanity. Reports of. the medical men are understood to indicate a question as to his mental condt- tion.
 For that reason, District Attor- ney Cohen is believed to have writ ten MT Lewis asking the Water bury prosecutor to take over the case for disposition, because if Brown had to be sent to a federal institution, 1t would have to be somewhere in the southern states. for that is the nearest place for the confinement of mentally unbaI- anced federal prisoners.
 However, the case is remainirg stagnant and apparently will re- main so unless the prosecutins authorities get together. Mean While, Brown is confined to the Hartford county jail in Hartford.

Ter towns to enable cooperation in catching criminals in motor cars. The Hartford system will probab- ly embrace police radio cars and transmitters in East Hartford, West Hartford and Wethersfield. In New Haven 1t is planned to have the towns of East Haven. West Haven and Hamden join in a police radio hookup.
 Practical In City
 Similar procedure could be fol- lowed in Waterbury, for the towns of Naugatuck and Watertown, and even Thomaston and Torrington, could join in 8 protective network which would have this city as it's center. Establishment of a net work would undoubtedly prove of great value to all the towns inc volved.
 Police radio in this city would not require the services of any ad. ditional policemen. The motor pa. trol cars, which would carry the receiving apparatus, are already completely manned, while the op. orator at headquarters could act as announcer, or a man could be detailed from a street beat or from other work to that duty.

BY PAUL MAY
 Democrat COrrcspOndent)


 Washington, D. C., Feb. 9-How plan for 8 federal system of high embodied fin a bill now under con- sideration by the house committee on ways and means, was explained today by Representative Kent r.. Keller (d., lll.) sponsor of the measure.
 Providing for construction of nearly sixty thousand miles of hard-surfaced road. at least twenty feet wide, running as nearly as possible in straight lines, the bill would create, over q .twenty-year period, a national network of pos: roads, and would virtually solve the unemployment problem during that time, according to Represen- tative Keller.
 Routes Outlined
 Tentative rules for all roads are outlined in the bill, with provision for minor notifications to skirt large cities and conform to top ographic peculiarities.
 Under the terms of the bill, Wa terbury would be on route close to a road crossing the upper ser- tion of New Haven county from northeast to southwest. This road, as provided for in the bill Is: "Be- ginning at or near New York city, and running in a northeastcrly di- rection to Boston, Massa chusetts, passing through or near Hartford, Connecticut

Y.M.C.A. Secretary
 Voices Opposition
Joins Chase Kimba in Questioning Motive of Elks'
 Campaign Against Radical Organizations

A drive to obtain 10000 sigma lures in Waterbury for a petition memorializing congress to enact legislation calling for the stamping out of un-American activities was launched by the Waterbury lodge of Elks at 8 meeting of represen- tative citizens of the city in the Elks home on West Main street.
 Robert F. Birt, active chairman of the campaign outlined the pro- ject and said 1t was program that was being similarly being carried out by 1,400 other Elk lodges in the United States. The United States Chamber of Commerce and the American Legion, he said, are two prominent national organizA- tions assisting in the program.
 Dissenting Voice
 Opposition to the movement was offered by Herbert s. Smith, gener- al secretary of the Y. M. c. A. and secretary of the Waterbury Minis- ters' association and Chase Kim ball. Others who spoke highly in favor of the plan and who offered to help out in any way possible for the local success of the idea in- cluded Judge John F. McGrath, William M. Harris, head of the Mutual Aid and Lincoln Hou & c association, Frank J. Green, sec- retary of the Waterbury Chamb Der of Commerce, Attorney Patrick Healey and Attorney Vincent A. Scully.
 Discussion of the project started when John A. Coe, president of the American Brass Co. who was in- vited to attend as. a member, of the committee, asked whether there were not laws already in ef- feet in this country which pre- vented overthrow of the govern ment by force. He said he was not present to offer opposition but only

NEW DEALERSASK
 FOR EXPLANATION
Mystery of Big Hole" on East Main Street Must
 Be Solved

The New Dealers at the helm of the Ashley Club, that venerable organization whose history has been intertwined with that of Wa terbury for many years (about eight, to be more definite) have already begun plans for an active and alert administration of the great clubs activities during the coming year. Flushed with the suc- cess of their victory in the annual Ashley Club elections Wednesday morning (polls were open from 2 to 4 a. m.), President Mert Con- nor and the members of his ex- ecutive committee held several se- cret sessions late this week, open only to members, six bootblacks and three newspapermen.
 One of the first activities of the Connor administration will be the solution of the mystery of the hole on East Main street, across from the old Immaculate Conception church. The street and water de- partments have given explanations of the hole, which has been the cause of questions and comment for weeks, but as one member ex- pressed 1t, they were only kinda explanations" What the executive committee wanted to know was why was that particular spot chosen for cutting up the pave ment; why, they want to know, couldn't a spot have been found to dig a hole on West Main street. or Bank street. or any street! Why indeed? There being no ans wer to that question, President Connor referred the matter to Ex- ecutive Committeeman Ed Fitz- patrick, who in turn passed 1t on to the Committee On Holes In The Street, Particularly East Main street. A report from this commit ice is expected next week.

 Help Unemployment
 The plan would give employ ment to five million m imme- diately and maintain their jobs over the full construction period, Representative Keller predicted. He said the measure is backed by the American Federation of Labor and by many leaders in congress, both republicans and democrats, and expressed the belief that 1t had an excellent chance of passage at this session of congress.

NO APPOINTMENTS
 EXPECTED MONDAY.
Delay Anticipated in Nam- ing Sprague School
 Principal

Reports current for the past few days that the successor to the late Mrs Jennie c. Phillips, principal of Sprague school, would be named at a meeting of the committee on teachers to be called next week were denied to-day by Dr Thomas J. Condon, superintendent of schools.
 Dr Condon said there was no meeting of the committee sched- uled at present. Members of the committee also denied rumors of tho meeting and pointed out that all such sessions were called by the superintendent.
 According to unofficial reports. 1t is planned to promote to the Waterville position the principal of one of the other grammar schools in spite of the stPong ap- peal made by the Waterville Com munity council for the candidacy of Miss Mary Congdon at the re- cent session of the board of educa- tion.
 A delegation of twenty members Of the council, headed by Alder man C.. Arthur Dubois, attended the meeting held Monday at Cros- by high school, and urged board members to give Miss Congdon the preference in naming the new principal. Miss Congdon has also personally applied for the position.
 At the time they were told by President John J. Walsh of the board of education that the usual procedure in the event of a va cancy was in a large school to give the position to a principal from a smaller school.
 Mir Dubois then remarked tha. the delegation understood that this was the usual rule. He added, however, that the community would feel hurt if Miss Cong don't application were not given serious consideration. Several pe- titions, each containing a large number of signers, were received by the board urging that Miss Congdon be appointed principal.
 She has been principal at the school for about 20 years, and has served as principal several times in the absence of Mrs Phil lips.

 SELECTS MONAGHAN
Local Lad Named Student Director to Conduct
 Moot Court Work

Walter E. Monagan, Jr.. of this city was recently appointed 6 Student Director of the Moot Court at the Yale Law School. Two third-year men are selected an- nually for this position. These men will work with Professor Thur man w. Arnold in conducting the course in moot court work reg ularly assigned to members of the first year class at the law school. This course consists in the prepa- ration and argument of cases from actual appellate court records and is designed to give the student a more realistic approach to the law in action than Is usually de- rived from the reading of cases alone. Yale was one of the first schools to adopt this as a com- pulsory requirement., 1t being car- ried on in a smaller scale in other institutions by voluntary groups of interested students. Several cash prizes are offered for unusually excellent work in this course. The oral arguments are heard by prominent judges and lawyers and by members of the faculty.
