An operator of an insanitary
camp in Connecticut, whether run
for profit or by philanthropic and
welfare agencies, may expect short
shrift at the hands of the state de-
partment of health, the department
warned in its weekly bulletin to-
day, quoting a recent case in
which a camp was ordered closed,
and citing various violations of
camp sanitation regulations which
are still occurring despite the fact
that most camp arrangements in
this state are cooperating fully
with the health authorities.
y Recently word was received from
New York city officials that funds
were being raised and new chill
dren's camp started in Connecti-
cut town. The local health officer
and department sanitary inspec-
tor checked conditions immediate
ly, and found that the manage
ment was endeavoring to esta blish
the camp without a safe water sup
ply. without satisfactory sewage
disposal, and without clean eating
and sleeping quarters. The camp
was quickly closed.
Camp arrangements have a
great deal of responsibility, the
bulletin said. The purpose of TAX

Democrat Washington
Correspondent

Washington, July 20 - The adj
kninistration may be able to deny
that the big jobs in the five-billion
dollar acknowledgements are be-
ing handed out on partisan
Democratic basis.
But not even the most astute
New Deal press agent would dare
take on the job Of trying to prove
they aren't being distributed on D.
pro-Roosevelt basis.
In other words, If your state
has a smoothly working pro-ad-
ministration Democratic machine,
you can be fairly sure that the
state, boss-who may or may not
be democratic senator-will
have plenty to say about who is
going to be works progress adj
ministrator under Harry Hopkins,
and the appointee Is almost sure
to be a Democrat.
Even more congressman, If
they're democrats and regular,
have a voice in appointments of
work-relief area administrators.
On the. other hand, If the state
hasn't a Democratic machine or
democratic senator who gets
along well with Jim Farley, you
may be getting an administrator
of uncertain political complexion
but Roosevelt man just the
same.
Harry Hopkins has come to
see things in the right light"
That Eight" even though it may
take off lot of the New Deals
idealism, tells you that you've got
to fight fire with fire, that the
forces of reaction and special
privilege are pressing at the gates,
and that none but loyal Roose-
welt men, be they ward heelers
or trained executives with hui
maHitarian slants, must be placed
ION guard tonight"
