Former Dry Sleuth
 Given Appointment
Edwin Raffie Named County Inspector Served Eight
 Years on Federal, Prohibition Squad

members of the commission say that he will not assume his new duties for few days it is under stood that he began working two days ago. There are two republi- cans and one democrat on the board of county commissioners. The lone democrat happens to be A. Sidney Lynch, brother of State Senator John F. Lynch, republican boss of West Haven, where Rat- file is 6. o. p. worker.
 Raffile since 1881 las ,ield the post of probation officer in West Haven. He plans to vacate this post for the more lucrative one of county inspector. The county has just ended its fiscal year with a balance in the treasury and this is believed largely responsible for the conmissioners' decision to cre- ate the new job for Raffile.
 From 1923. to 1881 Raffile was with the prohibition forces in Con- necticut. It is understood that possibly consist of Investigating child welfare and widows air cases.

Immediate Response May Avert Complete
 Failure Of Appeal
Only Fifty Per Cent of Anticipated Membership Real ized Through Efforts of Canvassers- Public Urged
 to Cooperate in Attempt to Reach Desired Quota

at this time last season was much better than it is now.
 ''The financial allotment f1eces- sary to carry on the work of the Waterbury chapter efficiently has been pared to the utmost" said John M. Burrall, president of the chapter. "We feel that in a terri tory such as ours, which has a population of 111,0OO persons, we should enroll at least 5000 persons" 1"
 Volunteer Donors
 Mr.. Burrall said he felt sure that many persons had not been contact- ed by canvassers and that they wiuld willingly subscribe to the fund. Such persons, he said, might send their membership donations directly to the office of the chapter at 35 Field street and would receive, in return, the membership buttons and insignia of the organization.
 Officials of the chapter asked that the public be informed of the dis appointing result of the campaign and urged to make a contribution where it is humanly possible. They pointed to the wide scope of ac- tivitieS undertaken by the organiza- tion, which in many instances, is unparalleled by any other charitable group.
 During the past year, for instance, the national body spent more than $2,891, 500 for disaster relief, nurs- ing services, first aid, service to ex- soldiers and men now in the army and navy, junior Red Cross, and the like. In Waterbury, the chapter handles all the veterans relief work, in addition to other major activities.
 Confusion Here
 Mrs. Ladd said there seemed to be some confusion locally in regard to the amount of the fund sent to the national organization. Only 50 cents out of each contribution is forwarded to Washington head quarters, she said, no matter how large an individual donation is re- ceived by the local chapter.
 The roll call was officially brought to a close Thanksgiving day, al- though contributions are expected to come in for at least another month. November, officials declared, is normally the best month, but this year has fallen far short of ex- pectationS.

 In Historical Society
Residents of Irish Descent Plan Organization of Study
 Club = Dr. Freney Leading Figure

Following upon the tremendous success of the Irish-American Social Club in this city and the demand for the presentation of the true facts of the Irish race, the Demo- crat learned today of plans for the organization of an Irish historical society here. First movements in the direction of organizing the unit were made by Dr. John D. Freney, who during the past few days has secured the assistance of John P. Barry, staunch booster of the Irish American Club and state adjutant of the Disabled American Veterans, and Thomas Reidy, sexton of the Immaculate Conception Church, and chairman of the board of trustees of the Irish-American Club. It was pointed out that the new tentative organization, when brought into ex- istence, twill not conflict with the club now functioning.
 The present plans for the club which have been under considera- tion for some time indicate that the club will sponsor educational and cultural programs and will endeavor to prove that members of the Irish race have been instrumental in the early history of the United States and of old Puritan New England Dr.. Freney said when talked with today that in his opinion founded after long period of research work many Irishman held executive posi- tions and high electoral offices in early New England history. as well as that of the United States.

THREE CITIES
 FOR CONVENTION

Washington, Dec. { (UP) - The race for the 193s democratic national convention apparently has simmered down to three principal contestants - Philadelphia, Chicago, and San Francisco = Postmaster General James A. Farley said today.
 "The convention, I assume, will go to the highest bidder, if that city has the proper facilities" he said. Tt makes no difference politically where the convention goes." He said he was assured bids would come from Chicago and Philadelphia, and that San Francisco would bid If it thought it had chance" and that he had been told Kansas City and St. Louis also were considering of- ferS.

conflde it's active work in a re- search to learn of the accomplish ments of members of the race be- fore and since the Revolutionary war. The membership will also give consideration to Ireland and the history of the mother country and establish facts which will in time be passed along to future genera tions of the race.
 Although 1t is believed that there will be a great demand for mem bership into the historical society, the fact seem certain that the in- Stalling committee will confide the applicants to tried and true Irish men, whose findings on important subjects will be accepted as the truth founded on absolute proof. Further action on the support of the movement may be taken at the next meeting of the American Club which will be held on Friday, December 18th at Eagles Hall.

HITLER WOULD BE
 BEATEN TODAY

New Haven, Conn, Dec. 4E(UP) -Gerhart Segar, former social dem- ocrat member of the German Reich stag, believes that if free elections were now held in Germany Hitler would not receive 20 per cent of the vote" He told members of the Workmen's Council here last night that with the campaign Hitler is carrying on against four-ffths of the population, labor unions, Catho- lies, Protestants, Free Masons and Jews, there would be hardly anyone left to vote for him." Segar spent six months in 8 concentration camp before he fled to this country. He said Hitler did not receive major ity of the Reichstag votes.
 "He received 43 per cent of the votes and compelled opposition members to stay away, therefore re- ceiving an artificial majority to fool the people of the outside world"
 He predicted downfall of the Nazi regime, relating Hitler had failed to remedy the economic crisis, was leading the country toward war and that his own power was slowly being undermined.
