He said, however. that he was thoroughly convinced of the value of psychiatry and that he had studied its results in an investiga- tion pursued in another city sev- eral years ago.

 Possibility of the Woodtick road through Wolcott .being placed in the trunk line system vanished to- day with the unfavorable report of the committee on roads, rivers ana bridges on the bill of Rep Claude D. Badger of Wolcott being receiv- ed in the house. The bill was there- upon rejected.
 The bill called for the road from the Waterbury town line to the Bristol town line being in- cluded in the trunk line. The hearing on the bill was held last week.
 Because of the fact that this bill was turned down Waterbury legis- lators were inclined to be optimis- tic with regard to the proposed Bristol-Waterbury highway via Bucks Hill. This bill was also heard last week. the same day as the Badger bill.
 Lieut.. Gov. Frank Hayes spoke in favor of it declaring that it af- forded. the only direct route to Bristol and would cut the distance to Hartford from Waterbury, by six miles. Attorney William K. Lawlor also spoke for the bill, as did the several Waterbury legisla- tors. Senator George T. Culhane is the proposer of the bill.

States Tendency of Courts To-day Is to Lower Costs
 of Receivership- Comments Surprise Lawyers

1 ceiver. Judge Els said, "You are an attorney and can act a lso as counsel"
 MT. Meyers then inquired as to what he should do in case litigation against the receivership arose.
 we will cross that brige when we come to it," Judge Ellis replied. This also is a drastic change in the disposition of receiverships. Previously, when a receiver has been appointed, it was the custom to name another attorney as coun- sel for the receiver.
 It is expected, in view of Judge Els statements today that the same procedure in receiverships will be followed by other judges. The appointment of appraisers will be made with consideration of the nature of the business in receiver ship.

Reports Of Revival Of Business In N. E.
 Plants Resp onsible
Middle-Aged or Elderly Men Comprise Majority of Job Seekers Salvation Army Check-Up Differs From
 CAReport- Youths Appeal to Latter Group

Apparently hopeful of obtaining employment either here or in some of the other Industrial cities in Connecticut where business has been reported to be on the up- grade, q constant stream of home less, jobless men is passing through Waterbury, Salvation Army officials said today. Since the beginning of the current month, 1t was stated at the army citadel on Abbott avenue, the transient traffic has noticeably in- creased and is far greater than is usual at this season of the year.
 Most of the men have hitch hiked. but a few are driving their own cars and in some cases are accompanied by their wives and families. The migration Is large ly from the west, according to Army officials. New York state, however, supplies a considerable number.
 Up From South
 Men have appeared during the past few weeks from the mining regions of the south, obviously in- fluenced by glowing accounts of the business revival in New Eng land. There has been an espe- cially large group from Pennsyl- vania. Unable to obtain work in the city after day of search, the wanderers move on, presumably to
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-09-25

Hartford. Bridgeport or New Haven.
 At the Y. M. c. A., which in the past, has cared for a large volume of transients, a sharp decrease in the traffic was reported. Herbert s. Smith; general secretary of the Y, said that the number of youths applying for lodgings for the night had declined to an average of one or two as compared with anywhere from 20 to 30 requests for free beds during the peak of traffic. He said only one transient had ap- piled for accommodations last night.
 Different Types
 The conflicting reports from the two agencies which handle the bulk of the traffic in the city, however, are believed to be due to the difference in the type of person applying at each place. At the Y. M. c. A. the transicnts have been largely youthful drifters, boys in their teens with no responsibili- ties and no particular qua1ifica- tions for employment. These youngsters, in MT. Smiths opinion, are staying at home recently be- cause a general improvement in economic conditions makes family burdens somewhat lighter and be- cause the various agencies have combined to discourage them from

The aggressor in today's joust is Edward J. Ryan of Thom- aston, stormy petrel of state tav- ern organizations since repeal, who issued a blistering statement at- tacking the gathering here and the new organization, and the sponsor of the session, Lewis s. L4auria, who retired 8 few days ago as executive secretary of the Fifth District Re- tail Liquor Dealers association.
 Ky ms statement included, among other points, the follow ing:
 A claim that the Waterbury conference yesterday was nothing but a joke" and was attended by only 34 delegates instead of the h. ndreds predicted as attending.
 A threat of court action if the organization formed here yesterday sticks to its voted title: 'The Con- necticut Tavern Owners Associa- tion."
 A charge that the meeting yes- terday was held on behalf of the republican party, and that the new organization is openly republican in it's sympathies.
 A dismal prediction that "the outlook is darker than ever for tavern keepers"

 He returned from Geneva last night to resume his teachings at the university.
 "In conversations with my fellow mem bers," he said. 'I was interest ed to learn they had a good deal of confidence in our recovery.
