 Rubin Hall Selected.
 The annual ball to be held Thanksgiving Eve, by the Naugatuck firemen will be in the Casino hall, operated by Daniel Whelan and Al Kievman in the Rubin building on South Main street, 1t has been an- nounced. The firemen will sponsor 8 paradei for local children on Hal- lowe'en Eve, October 31. This scored big hit last year when the prac- tice was started and is believed beneficial in its results as it per- init the youngsters to show their costumes as they love to do on this night and enables them to return home early satisfied.
 Although an impression seems to be prevalent that the investigation scheduled to be made soon by the fire commission of the borough, board is to be one of how well equipment is tested at the local fire house, this is the wrong idea.
 The investigation, Warden John J. Sheridan pointed out today in an interview with the Democrat, is to be whether or not John Phillips driver and paid flremen at the fire department, drove over 8 hose at the sokoloski fire on City Hill street last Monday, thereby causing the hose to break.
 This was the terms of the motion put by the warden and proposed by Burgess Leo Brophy. It will be recalled that Burgess Victor Bur- kus had stated after Burgess Tracy Noble criciticized equipment that MT Phillips had caused the hose to burst by driving his truck over it. In reuply to this Burgess Leo Bro- phy in order to give MT. Phillips Q chance to present his side and to exercise fairness. moved an investi- gation be made by the committee tc ascertain if this charge were true.
 The idea that the motion was tc SC whether the criticism of Burgess Nobdle in regard to equipment was true is not correct, the warden pointed out. He stated today that if 8 motion had been made that an investigation to determine whether equipment had been tested often enough were made, he would have refused to put 1t, claiming 1t is the duty of 6 member of the fire com- mission of the board to know whether or not equipment at the fire department is properly tested,

D|R|G|BLE INQUIRY
OPENS SWEDNESDAY
Experts Will Study Safety
Angles of Lighter. Than
Air Craft.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press. -
A committee of experts will start
Wednesday an inquiry to determine
whether dirigibles can be built safe
enough to justify their use for COM
mercial or military purposes.
Headed by William F. Durant, pro-
fessor emeritus of mechanical engi-
neering at Stanford University, the
committee is expected to call before
it the country's best known lighter
than-air craft designers, as well as
Lieut.. Comdr. H. v. Wiley, a survivor
of the crashes of both the Macon and
the Akron.
Himself opposed to further Navy
dirigible construction at present,
Secretary Swanson requested the in
quiry after the destruction OF the
Macon. The committee was ap-
pointed by DR.. Karl T. Compton Of
the Massachusetts Institute of Tech
nology, who is chairman of the
Science Advisory Board of the Ma
tional Academy of Sciences.
Dirigible Activity Suspended.
Pending the committees report
Navy lighter -than-air activities will
be held in suspension. officials said
Soon after the loss of the Macon
left the Navy with only a blimp and
the decommisSioned Los Angeles,
Swanson ordered transfer of remain
ing lighter-than-ai activities from
Sunnvyale. Calf, the Macon'S base,
to Lakehurst, N. j.. where the Los
Angeles is in use for training pur-
poses.
Another result was that Congress
shelved the recommendation of the
Presidents Aviation Commission that
the Government build a dlrlglole Tor
transoceanic operation. Navy ON
Cials said today that the Aviation
Commission had concerned itself
chiefly with uses of dirigibles, while
the Durant Committee will concern
itself primarily with an inquiry into
phases of design.

The crop included Hurley and Basil
O'Connor, former law partner OF
President Roosevelt.
Evidence was received that O'Con-
nor, like Hurley, received S25 900 from
the A. G. E. Co. for legal work.
O'Connor is brother of Representa-
tive O'Connor, Democrat. of New York,

mittee. Fred s. Burroughs, vice presl-
dent of the A. G. E. Co., was uncertain
whether Attorney O'Connor was hireo
In connection with the A. G. E.'s fight
against the Roosevelt bill. 1t was his
impression, he indicated. that the
services involved a merger of some
companies in upstate New York, or
recapitalization plan.
When Senator Gibson, Republican
Of Vermont, asked if O'Connor had
ANY kin in the Government service" :"
Burroughs answered:
I'VE knew he was related to some
body down here. We knew, too, that
he was member of the Presidents
law firm, but we didn't expect to OBJ
tain any influence that way"
Said Hurley Did Little.
When Burroughs was questioned
about Hurley's work, he said:
He hasn't been doing anything ex-
cept he appeared with me before the
Rayburn (House Interstate Commerce)
Committee. He added that Hurley
had gone over his statement with him
prior to his appearance before the
Rayburn Committee.
II don't think he did anything on
the Wheeler Rayburn bill (the Roose-
velt-backed utilities measure) except
make appointments for me to appear" !"
Burroughs said. Col. Hurley did try
persistently to get me an appointment
to appear"
In reply to questions by Senator
Schwellenbach, Democrat, of Washing
ton as to how much time Hurley spent
on the bill, Burroughs said:
Are you trying to figure If we got
value received? I don't know I con-
suited him quite a few times myself"
