gress to grant the District the right
of representation in Congress and in
the national elections and the right
to sue and be sued in the Federal

not necessarily change the form of
local government, which finds many
advocates among those in Washing

PROBERS TO HEAR
BROWN TOMORROW
Police Head Called to Tell
of "Agreement" on
Promotion.

Mai. Ernest w. Brown, superin-
tendent of police, a party to the So
called gentlemen's agreement for the
retirement of Inspector Thaddeus
Bean to make way for the promotion
Of Inspector Albert j. Headley, will
be the first witness when the House
Special Crime Investigating Commit
tee reopenS its sessions tomorrow.
1t was said last night that Maj.
Browns testimony regarding the
authorship of the gentlemen's agree
ment might provide another sensa-
ton of the investigation.
Meanwhile, Representative Thomas
L. Blanton of Texas, the other party
of the agreement, is expected to take
the House floor again this week to
loose a TRADE against the committee.
Still smarting under the reminder of
Representative Schultz, a member,
that he was merely another wit

Randolph Returns.
Chairman Randolph rushed back
from quick trip to his home i'll
ElklnS, w. Va, to arrange for re-
sumption of the hearings tomorrow,
at which efforts will be made TO COM
plete the picture OF the deal.
Randolph said Inspector Headley
would follow Brown on the witness
stand.
1t was only a few months ago that
Blanton arranged with District Of
ficialS to place one of his constituents,
Andrew w. Howsley, in the corpora
ion counselis ONCE as an assistant.
But Howsley gave up the job shortly
afterWard and returned to Texas.
Blanton thought he was still entitled
to fill the job and so told the Com
miSSionerS.
Civic pressure against placing an
outsider in the corporation counSels
Office, however, resulted in Blanton
agreeing to accept another position
So Maurice v. Brooks OF Abilene, Tex,
Blanton's home town was given job
as counsel for the Alley Clearance
Authority at $4,000 a year.
With the investigation of Blanton' s
deal now centering around Maj
Brown and Inspector Headley, Bean
has stepped into the background and
has said he would remain on the

round out 40 years of service. Blan-
ton is reported to be quietly telling
his friends. however. that Bean will
be "out" in 60 days.

QUALIFICATIONS SET
 FOR PUBLIC NURSES

Through the medium of it's monthly bulletin, the state depart ment of health announced today that 1t had set up minimum qualifi- cations for public / health nurses. which have been approved by the public health council of the state. These are intended to serve as a guide for those employing public health nurses, and they emphasize the fact that a public health nurse who must handle the entire job in a community alone should have greater training than one who works under nursing supervision. These qualifications are as folows: the nurse working on a staff pro- viding we'll qualified nursing super vision should have a high school education or its educational equiv alent, as determined by the state board of education, fundamental nursing education with graduation from an accredited school of nurs- ing, and state registration; all other public health nurses should have ali three requirements already listed together with special train ing. education and experience in public health nursing, or, more spe- cifically, a public health nursing course recognized by the National Organization for Public Health Nursing, and two years experience in a public health nursing staff pro- viding we'll qualified nursing super vision. In addition, it is important for every public health nurse to have suitable personal qualifica- tions.

 The 31 delegates to the national jamboree at Washington next month will heave a collective sigh of relief on learning from bull letin received today from national headquarters that dish-washing al the big encampment will be elim. mated from the daily schedule. Millions of plates. cups and dishes, instead of being laundered after each meal, will be burned al the stake. The bulletin halls the innovation as "new turn in kitchen procedure, which promises to revolutionize housekeeping and forever emancipate dish washing from the present three-times a day grind over sinks"
 It is also announced that the post office department has given permission for the Boy Scouts Washington poster to be displayed in all United States post offices and branch offices. The department is planning full postal facilities di- rectly upon the grounds of the jamboree, August 21-30, so that every one of the 30,000 scouts in attendance will receive and send his mail with the same expedition as if in his own home town. A special cancellation stamp is being designed to be used only upon the letters and other mail matter posted at the camps several branch post offices.

Closer Connection Of Commission Men
 And Workers Urged
Fifth District Retail Dealers Secretary Intimates Average Man Spends More on Attorneys in Year
 Than He Does for Privilege of Selling Beer

''The new liquor bill is bill de- signed by attorneys for attorneys 2 declared Lewis s. Lauria, secretary of the Fifth District Retail Dealers association in a statement to the Democrat this morning.
 "The drafting of any bill so able of producing enormous reve- nue should not be left entirely in the hands of attorneys. While at- torneys are necessary for the legal phraseology, the majority of com nittee drafting liquor bill should be composed of men who have demonstrated executive ability together with experience in mer- chandising and finance. One man of this committee should have been at some time engaged in the in- dustry.
 Invariably, when the average person in the business calls upon a member of the liquor commission with a query about some inconnpre- hensible phrase in the law the only information he receives is: We're not here to interpret the law: we're here to administer the law. Go see your attorneys
 Pcrmittees Unfavorably Impressed
 There should be a closer con- nection between the members of the commission and the men en- gagged in the industry. The com missioners should not be looked upon as enemies, but should be the ones to whom the men in the busi- ness should turn when in need of information and assistance. The permittees have been so drastically and unfavorably impressed with the powers that be in Hartford that at the mere mention of the word commission the permittee involun- tarily puts up his guard.
 Under the new law if restaurant liquor qualifications are closely ob- served there will not be over 500 restaurant liquor permits in the en- tire state. This means there will be at least 5000 other types of estab- lishments illicitly selling liquor, for

DISPUTE LEADS TO TWO ARRESTS
Passenger Claims Epithet Hurled at Him By
 Other Driver

A dispute between the driver of one car and passenger in another led last night to the arrest of both men by Patrolman Alex Fossben- der, who was off duty at the time. Carlo Cocchiola, 36, of 61 Pine hurst avenue, was charged with operating while under the influence of liquor and breach of the peace. John Berzinskas, 22, of 15O Allen street, was charged with breach of the peace.
 Berzinskas claimed that as Coc- chiola drove by the car in which he was riding, the man shouted an epithet. As Cochiola stopped his car, Berzinskas went over to the machine and an argument ensued.
 Patro1man Fossbender chanced to come along and brought both men to headquarters. with Sergt. George Gooding assisting in the arrests.
 In city court today the cases were continued till tomorrow.

uore extensive use of air mail service on the part of business firms and individuals was urged to- day by Postmaster Charles T. Babin in statement given to The Democrat. The notice is part of the countrywide campaign to in- crease the use of the air mail ser vice on the part of the general public.
 Postmaster Babin's statement follows:
 Air mail service has now become we'll established and is used exten- sively by our business firms.
 Planes leave Newark airport every night carrying mail to all parts of the country, that for the middle and southern states in time for delivery the following morn- ing, to the Pacific coast in time for delivery on morning of the sec ond day after mailing.
 To obtain full advantage of our air mail service, mail should be posted at the main post office not later than 4:00 p. m., DIST.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-07-08

1t is ridiculous to assume that even 1000 licensed liquor establishments can conveniently quench the thirst of our drinking population. Hence, the revenue acquired from the legal establishments will be dwarfed by the staggering amount required to enforce the outrageous law.
 Attacks Political Leeches
 "The past two years have been grossly unfair to the liquor dealers who have tried to fulfill the de- mands of the consuming public and at the same time fill the outstretch- ed hands of domineering political leeches. The present law is an un- deniable insult to the principles of freedom allegedly synonymous with our constitution.
 Tt is now time for all taverns and unqualified restaurants to come to arms and perfect strong state with prime objectives to show the voting public of the state the disaster of continuing un- der the present law"
 July 7th, 1895, by 5th District Re- tail Liquor Dealers association:
 WHEREAS, the newly enacted liquor bill of the State of Connec- ticut prohibits the taverns from opening on Sunday and grants the privilege to restaurants and hotels with the. sanction of city ordi- nance or town meeting, and
 WHEREAS, a tavern is permit ted to install equipment for the preparation of food and the license fee of the tavern is one hundred and fifty dollars annually and the license fee of a restaurant to be en- gagged only in the sale of beer is also one hundred and fifty dollars. and
 WHEREAS, these two types of establishments, while. paying the same fee for the rights to sell the same merchandise are distinguished by the tavern being allowed the use of the bar and the restaurant being denied that privilege; by the res- taurant being allowed Sunday open- ing and the tavern being denied that privilege, and
 WHEREAS, the tavern is to re- main completely open to view of any passerby from the street and the restaurant to remain screened completely from street view. and
 WHEREAS, in all sense of logic and fairness if any establishment should be permitted Sunday open ing it should be one open to public view
 THEREFORE. BE TT RE- Ix, k.s- r Liquor Dealers association now in session on this Eth day of July, 1885, that the liquor bill of the State of Connecticut is discrimina- tory and grossly unfair to both res- taurants and taverns and immedi- ate action should be taken to have the bill changed in a special session of the legislature.

Derwin Takes Office
 As Deputy Registrar
Appointment Made By Registrar Michael Slavn Satir.
 day-Court Order Caused Vacancy

Alderman John T. Derwin today assumed his new duties as deputy democratic registrars of voters of Waterbury. He was named to this post Saturday morning by Regis trar Michael Slavin.
 The appointment of Alderman Derwin as deputy registrar was expected. He was busted as demo- cratic registrar by an order of Judge Frederick M. Peasley of the superior court almost two weeks ago. When the office of registrar was vacated by Henry O'Connor, Mayor Frank Hayes named Alder man Derwin the democratic regis trar. At the same time he named Peter Dunais to succeed Thomas F. Dillane as republican registrar. He was busted by Judge Peasley along with Alderman Derwin.
 The appointment of Alderman Derwin as deputy registrar returns him to that office once more. Either he or Registrar Slavin will be nominated by the democrats for registrar this fall. Registrars Slavin and Taller automatically succeeded Derwin and Dunais after Judge Peasley' order.

Nature Club Gets Its First Lesson

It rained Saturday afternoon ta> Hamilton park. The brook rose many inches, and close to the waters edge some boys found three furry things. They brought them to the suvervis- Ors for Identification; but none knew definitely what the were. Some said muskrats, others OppOssums and one authority pronounced them baby ground mo.es. But the storm had also driven in for shelter an aged man. Water ran from his rug ged gray mustache, his un- kempt hair and patched clothes. He alone knew what the little furry motherless creatures were. Baby flying squirrels, he called them, and told the boys, who were Bub Keaveney, Fat Keoveney, Son. ny St Louis and Dan Driscoll, how to feed them. So there is now a nursery at the Keaveney home and the bys, who are all members of the Hamilton Park Adventure club, nature study organization, are getting first hand information on some of natures most fascinating creatures. And the little squid- rels are no longer homeless.
