NEW LINEUP IN
 PARK CITY TILT
Communists Withdrew Nominees to Aid Jasper
 McLevy in Fight

Members of the Waterbury Com munist party today received word that the communist party of Bridgeport has withdrawn it's candi- dates to help the socialist campaign there. According to local commit nists, the action is not to be con- strued as an endorsement of all socialist city policies. The anounce- ment follows:
 This action was taken in order to further the United Front and pre- vent the election of candidates of the republican and democratic parties. The communist party has withdrawn it's candidates and is calling upon the hemembers and sym pathizers to help re-elect the can didates of the socialist party into office.
 In a letter to the central com- miteee of the socialist party, the communist party announces it's de- cision, but at the same time points out that 1t has important criticisms to make of the past activities of the socialist administration and its present platform.
 The letter invites the socialist party to have its candidate, Jasper McLevy, or any other representa- tive to share the platform with Earl Browder, general secretary of the communist party when the lat- ter speaks at the Central high school auditorium on Wednesday, Oct. 30 at 8 p. m,, in Bridgeport.
 The letter goes on to urge various issues which are omitted from tho socialist platform such as 10O% unionization of Bridgeport; adequate relief; union wages on w. P. A.; opposition to the sales tax; defense of democratic rights and liberties; adequate unemployment insurance such as embodied in the workers unemployment old age and social insurance bill GIT. R. 2827: for negro rights; against Mussolini's war on Ethiopia, and the rising menace of FAScism.

New Precedent Seen
 In Courts Decision
Local Lawyers, Realtors, Read Supreme Court Ruling
 on Return of Deposit When Building Burns

Waterbury attorneys and real es- tate men read with considerable iri- terest a decision of the supreme court of errors handed down yes- terday in which new law is laid down pertaining to contracts inc volving the sale and transfer of property. The decision is in the case of John Anderson of Hartford against Annie M. Yaworski of Hart ford.
 Anderson agreed'to purchase land with dwelling upon 1t from the defendant for $2,745. He paid $10O down and agreed to pay the bal- aace in several months. Shortly aft- CT he made his $100 deposit the dwelling house was destroyed by fire of accidental origin and with out fault of either party. Anderson then brought suit to recover his $lOO deposit while the defendant countered with claim for the ball. ance of the money on the ground Anderson failed to perfor minis part of the contract.
 Defendant Willing
 Prior to the filing of the suit by Anderson the defendant informed him she was ready to carry out the contract and would assign to him the rights under an insurance pol- icy.
 The trial was held in city court and Judge Erwin M. Ryan ren-

Duke" certainly has a way with the women, for not one, but two negro girls in city court today claimed him aS their own. Each of them declared that Duke" went steady" with her, while the cause of all the perturbation squirmed uncomfortably in his chair. Duke, by the way, happened to be in court today because of thise two very girls.
 Duke" was christined Cornelius Johnson; he's 26, and lives on Lo- cust street. His two admirers are Louise Holmes, of 90 Pearl street, who had him arrested and Ada Jenkins of Cherry street, and ti was they who spoke of him tenderly as Duke" in court today. Louise dodn't speak of him too tenderly, though, for she claims that he knocked her down and kicked her in North square early Tuesday morning, giv- ing her Q dislocated shoulder.
 Knocked Down
 Louise took the stand first, to re- late that she'd been going out with Duke" and that they went to a party Monday night. Duke, she said, got bit under the weather. and she started to take him home. She had him part way, she related, when who appeared but Ada, her rival fo Dukes affections. Ada, she said bitterly, called Duke" away, and he went, but she kept his hat. Then, she went on, she went to ask Duke" if he wanted his hat, and he, prompted by Ada, knocked her pocketbook out of her hand, then knocked her down and kicked her few times.

dered judgment for Anderson [ recover his 91OO. He conclude that, as there had been . sub the destruction of the dwellin stantial failure of consideration b house, the plaintiff was relieved c his obligation to fulfill the pro visions of the agreement and we entitled to recover the amount h had paid. The supreme court up holds Judge Ryan in this conten ti6n, by Q thre to two finding.
 The opinion:
 Chief Justice Maltbie's opin- ion-in which Justice Frank D. Haines and Christopher L. Ave cry concur-says:
 "The finding of the trial court that the burning of the dwelling house upon the property had brought about a substantial failure of consideration is, for all practical purposes, the equiv- alent of Q finding that after the fire the defendant was no long, CT able substantially to perform the contract. The plaintiff was therefore entitled to treat 1t as discharged.
 "The contract being discharg- ed, the provision in 1t that If the plaintiff failed to make the fur ther payments agreed upon he should forfeit the money paid in pursuance of 1t falls with the rest of it. He has paid 8 part of the purchase price but has re- ceived no benefit under the con- tract. He is therefore entitled to recover the sums 50 paid from the defendant"
 Dissenting Opinion
 Justice George E. Hinman concurs in the dissenting opin- ion written by Justice John w. Banks who says that 8 bond for Q deed had been executed and recorded and the plaintiff thereby acquired the equitable title to the property and he says that the loss is thrown upon the vendee simply because he is in equity substantially the owner of the property and justices re- quires that having the benefits he should bear the burden of ownership.
 Tn my opinion" says Justice Banks, "The destruction of the dwelling house did not relieve either party of the duty to per- form on the ground of impossi- bility of performance of an ex- ecutory contract, and the loss should fall upon the plaintiff as the equitable owner, and he is not entitled to the return of his deposit"
