Acceptance of $56OOO Federal Grant to be Discussed

The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-10-09

Naugatuck, Oct. 9.-An adjourned meeting of the board of warden and burgesses will be held Monday night Ut 8:3O- o'clock. One of the pur-. poses of the session will be to set . a date for a hearing to reestablish street lines on Rubber avenue and Water streets. This is in connec- ton with the proposed Public Works Administration project of widening these streets.
 There will also be consideration of whether or not the borough will accept or reject a PWA federal grant of $56,250 for erection of a swage disposal plant here.
 It will be recalled the borough board applied for this in order to protect the town in case Water bury took steps to ask PWA aid in erecting 8 similar plant there. At the meeting of the freemen in 1884 a vote was passed banning future boards from approving erection of a plant here unless Waterbury had erected such 8 plant.
 0uICC XNdu6UtNNh 0PpAASN avs ~-A0 PWA grant, it has been learned the town must accept or reject 1t by November l as plans and speci- tications for the project must be sent in to state officials by that date.
 It had been the general belief here that Naugatuck could delay making decision on the project n- definitely until it saw what Water bury did. However, the Brass City made no move to ask PWA aid for such a project so the local applica- tion served its purpose by protecting the town in case it had.
 It is believed the board, in View of the vote of the freemen and the belief that opinion here has not changed since that time, will not be permitted to approve it.
 The meeting is called for 8:30 in order to allow the session of the board of public welfare, postponed to a o'clock next Monday from last Monday, to be held. A short meet ing of this board is expected.

REPORT ASSA|LED
RiChberg Charges Institution
With Playing Politics in
Releasing Data.
BY the Associated Press.

Donald r. Richberg yesterday
charged the Brookinss Institution with
playing politics in publishing an un-
favorable report on N. r. A. just when
the Senate Finance Committee con-
cluded hearings on new recovery
legislation.
Any one reading the report Of this
institution for research and study,
the N. r. A. chief said. would see
that it has been designed as political
propaganda in order to influence con-
gressional action in support Of the pet
theories Of a few reacuionary ecopo-
mists."
Terming the Brookings statement
another pied piper for the front
pages, dressed in academic robes but
piping a tune that will lead us to
destruction" Richberg said:
The publication of this intemper-
ate, emotional document in aid Of a
political attack upon the N. r. A.
and the timing even Of advance
publicity apparently In an effort to
blanket Gen. Johnson's testimony Ito
the Finance Committee and favorable
to N r. A. are actions quite unworthy
of an institution assuming the char
acter Of scientific impartiality."
Richberg to be Called.
Coincident with Richberg's six-page
attack on the institution was Senate
Finance Committee study in closed
session of the findings of expert in
vestigators into thousands of N. r. A.
complaints. Afterward Senator Clark
Democrat of Missouri, an N. r. A.
foe. said Richberg would be called
before the group to submit an opinion
he was reported to have written re-
garding N. r. AS jurisdiction over
intrastate commerce.
Another N. r. A. senatorial critic,
Nye of North Dakota. told a radio au-
dience the antitrust laws must be re-
stored. He demanded that if NJ r. A..
was to be reformed, the reforms should
be written into the law and not left
to Administration. Referring to Gen.
Johnson's statement that the baby
should be scrubbed up, rather than
thrown down the drain pipe, Nye said:
LAS a friend of the alleged purpose
of N. r. A. but as an enemy of the
accomplishments of selfishness under
its months of actual operation, 1 can
but say that there is not in existence
drain pipe of sufficient size to carry
away the unfair things which N. r. A.
has permitted, that the so-called
N. r. A. baby is going to require many
scrubbings in legislative way before
1t is presentable again, and that there
is going to be but little reform after
