national headquarters of the So- ciety for the propagation of the faith joined with Father Campbell, editor of Catholic Missions in ex- pressing his condolences. Tt is sad, indeed, that the early demise of Mayor Scully should have cut off life so ardently devoted to service of his church and his com- munity when he could have done so much by his good works and example. The city of Waterbury has lost real leader"
 Fourth Estate Editor
 James Wright Brown, president and publisher of Editor and Pub fisher, leading publication of the fourth estate declared, Tt Is with sincere regret that I note the pass irg of Martin Scully, former city editor of The Waterbury Democrat. His was a long record of active public service. I extend my sym pathy to the family and many friends of Mayor Scully, to whom his death has come as a sudden and startling blow" declared Henry Bailey Rathbone, chairman of the department of journalism at New York University. His influence was extensive and. his fearless lead ership will be greatly missed. Working his way up through the ranks and from lowly immigrant boy-reporter to the highest post Waterbury could give him, Martin Scully made name for himself not soon forgotten. His record of public and religious service was distinguished and his news career a fine example of public service"
 Veteran Writer Comments
 Frank Parker Stockbridge, edi- tor of "The American Press" and widely known as a veteran news paperman and author declared, Martin Scully was an earnest and enthusiastic guardian of the welfare of the community he serv- ed long and we'll both as public official and as an active newspap- erman. He brought to his work a high courage and q true under standing of the responsibilities of his position. His death is sad loss to his family, his city and his pro- fcssion."
 Courageous Leader
 John S. Ryan, news editor of Newsdom, weekly newspaper of the newspaper world declared, "ln his long years of active newspaper service as we'll as in his role of public official and civic worker, Martin Scully built 8 reputation for courageous leadership which won him the respect and admira- tion of his colleagues. His. sudden death, actually in the line of duty as he sought support for a resolu- tion opposing religious persecution in Mexico, will come as a distress ing shock. I extend my sympathy to his co-workers on The Demo- crat and to his fellow citizens of Waterbury"
