Naugatuck, Oct. 3.-Complaints of discrimination by the street de- partments against Young Demo- crats of a certain faction were made last night at meeting of the Young Democratic club in the borough courtroom. Frank T. Green, chairman of the democratic town committee, was present and had to bear the brunt of the ar- gument. Warden John J. Sheri- dan and Supt. of Streets James Broplly had been invited but neither attended, the warden be- ing confined to bed after an op- eration.
 Matthew Scully, president of the club, and George Walsh, club mem Der, were among the most ac- tive complainants. MT. Scully said that Young Democrats were laid off recently on the street de- partment because they were Young Democrats.
 He asked why the democratic officials should not cooperate with the young democrats in view of the work this group has done at elec- tion time to help the party. When Mir. Green suggested that the men possibly were dropped because of a desire to keep within the street department budget, Mir. Scully in- dicated his belief this was not the real reason.
 Mir. Walsh asserted that when transfers from one working agency to another are made, certain cliques get the preference for work. Although MT. Scully had stated all young democrat work CTS in the street department had been laid off, MT. Walsh said 1t was just members of certain fac ton; which had lost in spring pri- maries.
 Green Explains
 MT. Green explained he had no knowledge beforehand of the pur- pose of the meeting. He told members of the club the town committee would always be glad to cooperate to the full extent of It's powers with the club.
 He pointed out that the Works Progress Administration and PWA are non-political groups to help jobless persons no matter what party they belong to. The town committee can make no sugges- tions as to who will be hired for suah work, he said.
 The committee cannot also make any suggestions as to who will or who will not be employed by the street department. This is up to the officials in charge of the de. partment and the administration.
 He advised the club to keep fac- tionalism out of its ranks as much as 1t could. Things can't be agree able to all he said, but when a together, trouble results. He ad- vised them not to bring factional- ism to the fore.
 It is the duty of the town com mittee, he said, to try to create in- terests among others in the demo. cratic party and to endeavor to keep as much unity as possible in the party.
 He said he could not commi: himself at the time on the matter but promised to ascertain why the young democrats were laid off and to see what can be done about it..
 MT. Scully declared all the young democrats want is an even break as far as work is concerned. He said the club will continue to fncraaaa fin Ynenn herafiu and will

Beacon Falls, oct. 3-Republican election officials for the Monday election were announced today by Miss Ruth Carroll, republican reg istrar of voters. Democratic off, cials were named yesterday by Agnes Bowes, Democratic registrar.
 The republicans wfo will handle the mechanics of the election con- sist of: Fred Koerber, checker, Mrs. Ruth Gillette, ballot clerk; Oscar Peterson and Willet Du Bois, booth tenders.
 Much Election Talk
 With election day only few days off now, the main talk about town is on that matter. Can Demo- crats continue to make the inroads into the republican supremacy that they have done in the past few years, is the question many are asking.
 There is no doubt that in Theo- dore Schmitz, nominee for reelec- ton as first selectman, the Demo- crats have a strong man. MT. Schmitz is able, efficient and pop ular. The republican party signi- fled their realization of this when they named Christian Heiss, who has served as second selectman the past year, to oppose him. Mir. Heiss is also well liked here.
 Democrats are confident MT. Schmitz will draw enough votes from persons ordinarily Republican in their sympathies, which added to the whole Democratic vote, will result in his election. Republicans feel equally optimistic that united party will mean election for MT. Heiss and the entire g. o. p. tick ct.
 Voting will be by ballot next Monday and the polls will be open from o'clocK in the morning to 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

there, they want them for their un-
employed, not Philadelphia's.
Rankin Is now getting some CO.
operation from the city hall. largely
because Of his own desperate efforts to
find q way to make concessions tech
nically placing the city in the posi-
tion Of furnishing material money.
Rankin Is ready to credit it most gen.
erously for use Of equipment already
owned by the city. He Is even ready
to credit it for contributing" mate
rial money up to the amount 1t would
cost to transport projects workers
to another project outside the city.
But the long tangle has left Phila-
delphia far behind the w. P. A.
parade. Even now. projects enough
to put the entire quota to work have
not been submitted by the city hall.
Mayor Moore soured on work-re-
lief early. It seems he was driving
through Fairmount Park one day when
he saw a number Of men being paid
for what looked suspiciously like pick
ing up sticks. They were clearing a
bride path.
The mayor Immediately declared
that he did not intend to spoil his
Governments economy record to Gre
ate "stick-picking projects" He at
tackled other boondogglish ideas and
issued the sign and be fired" order.
Rankin's district includes four neigh
boring counties and in these counties
there is plenty of road work to be done.
So every morning 10000 Philadel-
phians board early trains, get off at a
station nearest their project, transfer
to trucks and work their allotted time.
Because there were not enough trucks
to transport the men properly, 1t
was not fair to "dock" them for time,
so w. P. A. had to pay them while they
stood around waiting TO be transported.
BY comparison, at a recent date.
only $500 men were working in Phila-
delphia and many of these were on
white-collar projects. A large road

Education is trying to get Uncle Sam
to put up the balance.
It is typical Of Boards of Education
that that body should be the only
Philadelphia group trying to wheedle
more goodies out Of Kris Kringles
pack. But elsewhere. and particularly
at the city hall, you have the strange
sight of that popular gertleman's per-
sonal representatives virtually forced
to 60 around with tears In their eyes
begging the boys to accept gifts SO q
way can be found to put the city's un-
employed to work.
But II w. p. A. fails, the joke will
be on the other side Of the fence. II
will then be up to the cities TO provide
funds to care for those who do not &c
to work.
Mayor Moore's admirers, however,
declare that the only way to provide
material money would have been TO
fake" the city budget.

suggested, knowing that Santa Claus
would give you almost anything you
asked for, provided only you would

program has not found its way through
the w. p. A. machinery and big
batch Of projects lay on Mayor Moore's
desk for weeks. He said he would not
sign them until "those already sent to
Washington have been approved" :"
Any one who recalls the bottle-neck
delay in the ONCE Of Controller Gen.
eral McCarl, which was not broken
until the last week in October. can
easily imagine from this why Phila-
delphia Is so far behind.
There Is no politics In transferring
relief men to jobs and only a mod
crate amount in administrative ap-
pointments. But the resourceful po-
htical machines of this boss-ridden
city have found q way to advance q
quiet little vote-making racket.
Put In . Word.
Every political conscious person
knows by this time that all employ
able relief clients are eventually to
get w. P. A. jobs. But sometimes re-
lief clients themselves are not politi-
cally conscious. Therefore, 1t has been
easy for ward committeeman to 60 to
a relief man and say: II understand
you are unemployed. ! am going to
do my best to get you q Job with
w. p. A."
If he does not get the Job, no harm
is done. II he does, the thanks 60 to
the ward worker who engineered" 1t
without ever going near any one.
The laugh Of 1t Is that In this par
ticular sport the Republican ward
workers are more active than the
Democrats. They are making capital
out Of the money thoughtfully pro-

Developments and early snags of
President Roosevelt's $4,000, 900. 900
job program.
PHILADELPHIA, November 2s
N.A.N.AD.-This ancient city oi
brotherly love stands in the some
what strange position Of having
turned up its nose at Santa Claus. It's
share of President Rooseyelt's $4,000
100000 program has moved slowly
1t will be one of the last cities In the
country to get its quota Of 10000 men
to work, If it ever does.
Comparative failure Of the program
in Philadelphia, however, cannot bt
charged principally to laxity within
the w. p. A. itself. Rather, it Ia
traceable to the failure Of its city ad-
ministration to warm to the task o1
matching New Deal money at about
81 to $40.
For while cities, counties and ham.
lets from Keokuk to Kttyhawk have
been flooding their State adninistra-
tions and Washington with eager pleas
for more and more money, Philadel-
phia has stood aloof. The city L
broke. And its outgoing mayor, j
Hampton Moore, does not like the
program anyhow.
Economy Maintained.
In Philadelphia some people do moi
accuse Moore, a Republican, of at
tempting to undermine the program
for political purposes. They say Il
is just against the nature of the mar
to spend freely. They point to hi!
economy record as mayor. It was his
inherent anti-New Deal attitude, sub
consciously or otherwise, that led to q
private order at the City Hall, ir
which the mayor threatened to fire
any department head who signed q
w. p. A. project.
Until the city, or sponsor" did sigr
q project application there was moth
ing w. P. A. could do. It does no
initiate projects and it cannot approx,

The sticking point was Pennsyl'

quires sponsors to furnish all mate

At the time the estimates were pre-

WILL ROGERS
Greatly Loved American
Born Nov. a, l879-Died Aug. l6, 1885

VIII Rogers, Oklahoma cowboy
whose homely philosophy endeared him
to the hearts of millions, Is dead. The
wreckage of the plane in which he
and Wiley Post, famous flier, were
seeking new adventures was found
where 1t had fallen about 10 miles
south of Point Barrow, Alaska, north
ernmost white settlement in America.
Thus ended in tragedy the career Of
the ranch hand who had made millions
laugh-probably the greatest and best
known comedian of his day. His in
tense interest in aviation caused him
to undertake the hazardous flight with
Post over the wilds Of the Far North.
For many years he had Travelled the
skyways, and in his newspaper column
had been one of commercial avia-
TONS strongest supporters. That fly
ing should have caused his death Is
one Of fate's grim ironies.
Rogers career reads almost like fic-
ton. He was born at Ollogah in In
dian territory, November A, 1879. He
attended the Willie Hassell school at
Neosho, Mo-, and also the. Kemper
Military academy at Boonville for a
short time. From that humble be-
ginning he rose to become the intimate
companion Of the great men of the
world.
His stage career began in vaudeville

FDIC Reveals Great Losses
Written OFF by Banks

IRON the Federal Deposit Insurance
corporation comes report showing
that in 1884 the banks of the country
wrote off their books total Of 81 49,
100000 in losses accumulated during
the depression. The FDIC added that
this was made possible because the
banks received S650,0O0,OO0 net in new
capital, which was supplied largely by
the governments Reconstruction FL
nance corporation.
Despite these losses, the FDIC fig
ures disclosed, the banks assets rose
from $40610.OOO,O00 to S47, $40 100000
during 1884, and that deposits in
creased from s31, 300, 100000 to "about
$4,000, 600, ,OO0."
A belief that deposit insurance is
not cure-all was expressed by Leo
T. Crowley, chairman of the FDIC,
in his report to congress. He said in
surance Is mot a complete remedy
for the ills of the banking system
nor for unstable business conditions.
He added that a chief controlling fac.
tor with regard to these conditions
will be general economic conditions
and monetary and credit develop
ments."
