SHARP ATTACKS
ON REPUBLICANS

Milwaukee, Aug. 23-(UP) -
Young democrats of the nation
aimed sharp attacks at what they
termed the "feeble" republican is
sue of unconstitutional government
at the opening of their annual cen
vention today. Gov. Paul v. Nc
Mutt of Indiana sounded the key
note with a charge that republic
cans invented" unconstitutional
government.
"Why all this hue and cry about
the New Deals defiance of the
Constitution ?" he asked after de-
claring that republicans "have hit
upon the feeblest kind of an issue
for their 1885 campaign" "Prior
to 1893, during the administrations
of Harding, Hoover and Coolidge,
the republicans passed FIVE meas
ures which were UNCONSTITUTIONAL
More than 5000 delegates are
expected before tomorrow night
when the convention ends with a
radio address from Washington by
President Roosevelt. Mr.. Roose-
velt's personal representative at
the convention Is George Earle,

HOW COTTON LOAN
GUARANTEE ACTS

Washington, Aug. 23.-(UP)-
Here is how the new AAA cotton
loan and guarantee would affect
John Jones, who raised 100 bales
on his AAA cotton adjustment
acreage contract, 80 bales Of it on
his bankhead allotment. He could
borrow nine cents a pound on 100
bales, or $4,000 II he sold the en-
tire lot later at 10 cents pound,
the government would pay him two
cents a pound extra on the 80
bankhead bales, or $1,000, and one
cent on the 20 bales not raised un-
der the baAkhead allotment, or
800, making total Of $500 for
his crop.
II he sold the entire crop at 10
cents and the average market price
between Sept. and Jan. was
nine cents the government would
pay him three cents extra-thc
difference between the average
price in 10 principal markets and
the IL cent guarantee-on his 90
bHles and the same-three cents,
the amount above loan price--on
his 30 bales, giving him an added
$1,000, or total of $4,000 for his
Arop.

|EXCURSIONIST ASKS
$4,000 DAMAGES
Fall Over Tracks Near
Naugatuck Station Is
Basis of Claim

The New York, New Haven and
Hartford Railroad Co. is named
defendant in $4,000 civil action
instituted today in the superior
court by Mary Kobol Of Naugatuck
who charges she suffered perman-
emit injuries when she fell from the
defendants excursion train after II
had stopped at Naugatuck last Aug.
26th.
The plaintiff says she rode on the
train to New York and when II
returned to Naugatuck, the car in
which she had been passenger
was stopped some distance from
the railroad station. In leaving the
car, she fell across the tracks and
the pocketbook she was carrying
was forcibly pushed against her
abdomen, causing severe and per-
manent internal injuries.
In addition, she charges, she
sustained a laceration of the scalp,
left hand and legs, and injured her
side, left eye and ear drum. The
defendant is charged with negli-
gence in that there was no light at
the point where she was alighting
from the train and that the point
was dangerous because there was
no platform or other means to pro-
vide safe stepping.

But New Haven Man Reck'
Oned Without w. T.
Grant Staff

It's an accepted fact that wom-
ems finery has an appeal for men,
bers of the fair sex. But when they
appeal to a man, SO much so that
he wants tosteal them from a store,
that's a dress of O different color.
In w. T. Grants store on Bank
street yesterday afternoon, an en-
ploye followed a man strolling
about the store. The man looked
at articles on several counters, An
ally halted near a rack Of women's
dresses He looked around, snatch
ed couple of dresses, stuffed them
under his coat, and started to walk
out.
The employe was waiting for
him, though, and so was Patrol
man Joseph Sullivan. This NOR
ming, the man, who described him
self as Thomas Mccarthy, So, of
New Haven, was fined $40 and
costs in city court. Unable to pay
the fine. he went back to New Ha-

Special Committee !,
Urges Recognition
For Off-Duty Work
Details Assigned to Parades, Funerals, Special Duty
May Get Overtime Pay or Time Off Regular Duty;
Last Detail Is Still Unsettled By Investigators

Members Of the Waterbury police
department., who have complained
Ong and vigorously against having
o work on extra assignments with
Rut any compensation, are to win
their battle for concrete recogni-
Ion of their extra services, It was
eported today. Victory for the po-
lcemen means that in the future
hey will be compensated for the
tine they spend while acting as
members of details attending fun
erals, parades or on special duty.
The question OF compensation is
now being studied by committee
Of police commissioners headed by
Commissioner Michael Noonan. To-
days report stated that, after in
vestigation of the policemen
claims, the committed had decided
that some compensation should be
given for special, extra-time duty
in the future, but that the group
was undecided as to whether the
bluecoats should be given overtime
pay or given time off from regu-

/ lar duty. In either case, policemen
Will be satisfied, though naturally
they are hoping the committee will
recommend the extra pay proposal.
The committee, appointed at
last weeks meeting of the board
by Chairman Harry Minor, was in
structed at that time to report
back at the body's next regular
session. The next board meeting
will be held early in September.
The motion to study the matter
was made by Commissioner
Noonan, an dhe was then appoint
ed to the craftsmanship of the
group. The committee was in
structed to make specific recon-
mendations.
It Is almost a certainty that
whatever recommendation the
committee makes will be passed
Hfavorably by the entire board.
Hence the committees decision is
all-important to members Of the
department. Commissioner Noon
ans motion to take the problem
undner study followed requests of
police that the situations alleged
unfairness be given official con-
sheraton.
A favorable ruling by the po-
lice board will benefit the entire
department, but will be greeted
with special enthusiasm by mem
bers of the night platoon, since
they are the ones most often called
for for extra-time assignments.
After going off duty at 4 o'clock,
the light men often have to be back
at headquarters to attend a fun
eral at 8 o'clock. They are like
wise often assigned to march in
parades, or to do regular duty
while parades or conventions are
being held in the city.

AID FOR THE AGED

With the advent of spring, comes
the question of cultivating a garden to
those residing in rural locations, or
where vacant tracts Of fertile land
are available for garden purposes. The
granting of aid to the aged is based
upon the needs of the recipient, and
those who can by their own efforts pro-
vide a part Of the budget, will be ex-
pected to do so. Those who do not
try to help themselves, when this can
be done by raising vegetables, poul
try, etc, may find that, when re
application for aid is made at the end
Of each yearly period, the award first
allowed may be reduced OF entirely
discontinued
Awards of aid to the aged are made
for only 12-month period, and
applicants for renewal Of aid must
satisfy the County Boards and investi-
gators that they have not neglected to
utilize available methods for helping
themselves. A vegetable garden and
poultry affords a considerable aid to
the food and health requirements of
the needy aged, and those receiving
aid are expected, when health and
strength permits, to avail themselves
of such opportunities as may be avail
able to provide their own living ex-
penses.
1t is only just and reasonable that
one should first try to help himself
before he is justified in asking the
state to assist him. The law govern
ing aid for the aged was meant to
provide for those who are unable to
take care of themselves, and that have
no one who by law is charged with
their support and able to help them.
1t was not meant to encourage idleness
or in any way to destroy the initiative
of recipients Of aid The amount Of
aid granted is to supplement what
the recipient by his own efforts could
add thereto and thus be able to have
a comfortable living.

feature, "The Labor Scene This
Week, directed by Chester NJ. Wright.
Mr.. Baer also predicted that labor
will gain much IN the way of legis-
lation from the present session Of con-
gress, and that the national industrial
recovery act will be extended.
In answer to Mr. Wright's ques-
tion, When do you think we are go
ing to see more definite trend toward
recovery" Mr.. Baer replied:
To-day the president made two bill
lion dollars of the work-relief fund
available for public works and en-
nounced that this sum would be spent
Immediately This money was allo-
Gated TO highways, roads, streets,
grade crossing elimination, rural re-
habilitation and eleetricfcation, hous-
ing and various other public works
projects. The Civilian Conservation
Corps also received 300 millions Of
