 Decision Expected Tonight
 A decision on whether Burgess Leo Brophy, second ward demo- crat, will be allowed to work on the FERA if he is renominated as burgess is expected to be made to- night at a meeting of the EZRA advisory board at 5 o'clock, Chris Groh, EZRA official here, an- nounced.
 MT Brophy has been working in non-relief capacity as supervisor on the High street job, but has been paid by the ZEBRA. He was put there because the board did not want repetition of the job done on Johnson street some time ago.
 There has been some discussion locally as to whether MT Brophy's running for burgess would not bar him automatically from receiving EZRA pay in view of the rule which bars EZRA workers from taking active part in politics.
 A ruling was asked of Miss Eleanor Little, state FERA head and one has been received. 1t was indicat- ed by MT Groh. He intimated that MT Brophy might be allowed to re- main on the EZRA if he carries out a promise he made Saturday that he personally would not take an active part if nominated. MT Groh explained MT Brophy could not help 1t If he were nominated but could refrain from working for himself, and this he has promised to do, MT Groh said.
 If he were running for non- paying job, he would be barred anyway, but as the position of bur gess does not pay any salary, there is considerable doubt as to whether he would have to relinquish his EZRA post or not.
 There have been reports uncon- firmed but persistent that MT. Brophy might be candidate for warden. He could not be one and remain on the EZRA, MT. Groh said today. f
 But the board will have to settle the question of whether or not a man is active in politics if he does not run for office but does not per- sonally make any effort to foster his nomination or election.
 MT. Brophy values the EZRA job and might even refuse to run for burgess if he were to be barried from the EZRA as a consequence, MT. Groh stated today. If this hap pened it would upset the whole democratic situation for M r. Brophy is very popular III his ward, and it Is doubtful that any one else nominated there would have the popularity of the present bCCOnA W&Au UoA 6Oos's "hN~~ 0~~f- work has won him much acclaim. Last year F. Alton Clark resigned from the EZRA before running as burgess on the republican ticket.
 Other matters will be brought before the board this afternoon.
