Following the mayors message the alderman adopted two resoiu- tions in which 1t was declared that the city has been discriminated against in relation to federal relief money allotment and in the man. 'ner of fixing local automobile in- surance rates. In connection with the EZRA funds the resolution pointed out that the city is given no credit for expenditures of the Mutual Aid for relief in the allot- ment set up by the state agency handling the funds. Only the funds directly spent through the welfare department are taken into consideration. 1t was pointed out, despite the fact that the money used in the Mutual Aid comes from the workers of the city of Water bury. %
 In the other resolution the alder men found that there is no appar- ent reason for Waterbury's autoistG being charged higher rates for lia- bility insurance than other cities and towns. The mayors address follows:

An attack against "constitu. tionar' lawyers who sit back ant | offer criticisms of the New Deal on the grounds that its set-up 1! unconstitutional was made b, Judge Edward Mascolo in an ad | dress before the Mems League O. Bunker Hall in the Bunker HI church gymnasium last night. He claimed these lawyers arr seeking to protect moneyed inter ests when they argue that viola tions of the constitution are made by the New Deal, and that they overlook the average citizen and "underdog."
 Continuing, he sated: "It would be amusing, if 1t were not so tragic !! to sit on the sidelines and take care full note of the strutting ignorance the vain glorious stupidity with which our ultra-conservatives rush to the defense of the American constitution, pretending that it is being undermined when 1t Is sug- gested that there ought to be a square deal assured to every citi- zen in this land.
 Let congress propose law in- tended to amelioriate the lot of those on the very edge of starva- ton and the great constitutional lawyer strides up and down the land declaring that such a meas ure would do violence to our fun damental law"
 Tt Is to be noted that our self constituted great constitutional law yers never raised their voices ex- cept when some legislative or ex- ecutive act is suggested that would average the opportunities of life for all of us. They set up straw men in order to blow them over with their thunderous voices. They join in mock lamentation over a threatened loss of our liberties when no one except themselves and q small favored class that sits dribbling its gold through it's talons, has the slightest idea that there is any threat to our liberties. These great constitutional lawyers are as silent as the grave when the rights and liberties of the great mass of the people are really in jeopardy.
 "Who has ever heard of one of them volunteering to defend iD u Uldl Ot WOuiuA VhOoO SNh stitutional rights have been grossly invaded? Which of these great con- stitutional lawyers has ever risen in his place to defend the right of free speech, or of free press, or of free assemblage when those rights have been vainly relied upon by earnest, even if mistaken, individ- uals or minorities seeking to give expression to their honest convic- tions?
 Minority groups in this country on many occasions have been the victims of a class racial prejudice. Men have been discriminated against on account of the color of their skins or because of their re- ligion. Newspapers, lacking in in- fiuence and in circulation, but ex- pressing views opposed by those in high places, have been suppressed without warrant of law. It will be time enough for the ordinary citi- zen to listen to our great constitu- tional lawyers when evidence is

 CAUCUS TONIGHT

(Continued from Page 1.) ments should be beneficial rather than antagonistic to their inter- ests.'
 May Heal the Gap
 The democrats plan to heal the gap which occurred after the orig inal caucus of the democratic sem ators and senator's elect. At the caucus Senator Raymond Devlin of New Haven was chosen for pres ident pro tempore unanimously and without opposition. Ex-Sena- tor Joseph F. Cooney was chosen clerk although he was not favored by Governor Cross. The main break came when the majority of the senators and senators-elect de- cided on Senator William Hagearty of New Britain for leader although the governor had endorsed Senator John c. Blackall of Hartford. To- nights meeting will. it is hoped, get the democrats solidifed.
 There is the possibility that the republicans will demand the clerk ship for support of the democratic slate of officers. The democrats. on the other hand. are dickering to give the republicans important committee posts in return for sup port.
 Other Parties Caucus
 The republican and socialist par ties will caucus tonight, also. in an effort to iron out difficulties over organization of the senate. It was the hope of all party leaders that tonight's three sessions would result in q working arrangement that will enable the inaugural cere- monies to go through as scheduled tomorrow.
 The republicans are behind Sem ator John r. Lynch of West Ha- ven for the office of president pro tempore of the senate. In the house the g. o. p. face fight for the leadership, for the first time in 25 years. Several republicans are seeking the post.
 The g. O. D. organization Is be- hind Sentaor-Elect J. Kenneth Bradley of Westport for leader ship of the republicans in the sem ate. He Is expected to be elected at tonight's caucus. The socialists have decided to put in a slate of officers for the senate posts Their voting tomorrow when organization takes place will be watched with much interest.
 Making Up the StafYs
 The various state officers who take over the reins of government tomorrow have already begun to build up their staffs. Attorney J. Earle Carey of this city will be- come-deputy state treasurer. He Is a graduate of Catholic university. William M. Green of Hartford. former newspaperman and secre- tary of the state central commit tee, will become deputy secretary of-state. Several local lawyers are after one of the deputy attorney generalships. Attorney +. c. Dauch, a law partner of Judge Edward C.. Mascolo, has been prominently mentioned. However, there was no verification of his appointment this morning. Other local lawyers mentioned were ex-Mayof Francis F. Guilfoile. Attorney William Keaveney and Attorney Joseph Davis.
 Attorney Thomas r. McDonough of New Britain is also in the race for an assistant attorney-general- ship. He denied that he is not seeking the past of deputy sccre- tary4 4of-state.

(Continued from Page 1.) will be defended against the seri- ous charges by Attorney Michae el. V. Blansfield and Attorney Edward sweeney, the formers inability to be present in police court this morning being responsible for the continuance.
 ChurchcIow Suspected
 Churchelow had been under suspicion since the burglary was committed on December 7th, since police believed that the crime was committed by someone who had knowledge of the premises and of the safe. It will be claimed by police that though the combination of the safe had been changed af- ter Churchelow left the employ of Armour's. the old combination still was effective. enabling the thieves to get at the interior of tho safe after opening two heavy doors by employing the combination dial.
 Chief Inspector William F. Kee- gan of the detective bureau said this morning that none of the three had made any admissions which would link them with the crime. put iiNAtotCu tildl DOllCc eflutUtG against the entire trio was strong. Chief Inspector keegan answered in the affirmative when asked if Churchelow had recently pur- chased an automobile, but added that the car was bought second hand and was inexpensive.
 Biggest Burglary In Years
 Lieutenant Detective Joseph Stevens has been directing the poA lice investigation of the crime. which was the greatest burglary hore in many years. Yesterdays arrests were made by Detectives William Foley. John Leary, Joseph Bender and Edward McEiligott. ChurcheIow and Giles were picked up first, then questioned and booked on suspicion. Burns was arrested later in the afternoon.
 The police theory of the crime. apparently. is that Churcheiow and one of the other two actually en- tered the Armour building from u railroad siding in the rear. and got to the safe. while the third man stayed outside as a lookout.
 Was once Released
 Chur0helow was questioned at police headquarters few days after the crime was committed last month. but was released. At that time he is reported to have advanced the alibi that he wes visiting an uncle in White Plains. N. r., at the time of the burglary. He also advanced an explanation for new clothing which he was said to have purchased nt the time.
 Chief Inspector Keegan said to- day that the three suspects had been in and out of the city at in- tervals during the past month. and that they had been back just a short time when arrested yester' day.

 As his successor, Deputy Chief Thomas J. Lynch has re- gently been appointed. The new chief brings to the head of this department a long and honor able. record. Under his super Iyision, there is every reason to believe that the high standard of his predecessors will be more than maintained.
 During the past year, the de- partment responded to 1852 alarms. The total estimated damage from fire amounted to $150,805.46, and the total fire

Personally, his popularity was not won fully for several years, but when appreciation and understand ing of him did come, there were few pastors in the diocese who had a more devoted following.
 Most important of his achieve ments, by far, was the erection of a. parish school and convent ad- joining the church, enabling children of parishioners to attend their own school rather than the public institutions. The school has flourished and already some of its graduates have been making names for themselves in institd- tions of higher learning.
 Parish societies grew with the passing years under Father Egar. The Holy Name Society became the most active group of it's kind in the city, and one of the most active in the diocese, it's activities ranging from card parties to lec- ture series and addresses by guest speakers of prominence. The chill dren of Mary society expanded ale so, and both organizations regular ly staged successful minstrel shows and entertainments Of various kinds.
 Pays Cash For school
 During Father Egan's pastorate. the school and convent were paid for in cash, one of the most sur prising achievements in the history of the Catholic church in Connec- ticut. The school was opened in 1924, and last fall observed the 10th anniversary of it's official opening.
 This year, Father Egan an- nounced that the interior of the church would be entirely redecor- ated. The work, done at high cost was completed only few weeks ago, and has. been highly praised by parishioners and visitors.
 Despite failing health, Father Egan ministered carefully to the spiritual needs of his flock. The annual Novena of Grace at the church has become an event of city-wide significance. Other special services were invariably largely attended and the source of great public interest.
 Year by year, appreciation of Father Egan and his work grew in the minds of his parishioners, and his death now brings home strikingfy all that he accomplished in his passionate. He built wisely and well; he gave unsparingly of himself: he leaves behind last ing monument of himself as man and a priest.

Ice Is an Aid to Beauty
Young Girl With Normal or Oily Skin
Benefits Most.

ter way to use ice for refreshing
and refining the skin is to rub it
over a cotton mask. This treatment
is for oily. tired skins with en-
larged pores. The face and neck
are first thoroughly cleansed, mas
saged and wiped with a skin tonic.
Clean absorbent cotton is moistened
in witch hazel or other astringent
lotion and nodded over the face and
throat like a mask. The ice rub fol-
lows for several minutes. The mask
is then removed and the skin thor
oughly dried. The treatment may be
given once week.
One objection to the use of ice
on the face, according to one writer
on the subject, is that there may
on the wings of the nose and cheeks,
such as are seen on faces of out
door workers and sportsmen. This
does not seem to me a valid objec-
ton, however. The use Of ice and
ice water on the face for, say, three
minutes a day or less frequently. is
not at all comparable to the con-
tinuous hours of exposure to the ele-
ments for days and months that
produce that weather-beaten look. OF
course, If you already have these red
veins in your face, 1t would be foolish
to expose them to unnecessary ex-
tremes of temperature.
