Peter DUMAS Stays
On Republican List

why the name OF any such cleo
tor should be erased from such
party list or why is should not
be placed upon the party list as
requested by the applicant or
from the party list upon which
1t appeared.
Regular Republican
Neither the said Peter H. Dun
ais nor any witnesses appeared
to show cause why his name
should not be stricken from the
enrolment list nor restored
thereto. However, the attorney
for said DUMAS emphatically de-
MED that said DUMAS was ASSOC
ciated with other than the re-
publican party. The committee
must rely for information upon
the facts which have been SUBJ
mitted before 1t. 1t is not within
the intent Of the statute that
such committee should be a
fact-finding body but rather that
II should decide whether the
facts submitted warrant the con-
clusion that the elector Is affili-
ated with another party. The
elector may speak through his
attorney.
There was, therefore, no alter
native but for the registrar of
voters to act under the provisions
of Election 700 of the General
Statutes of the state Of Connec-
ticut which are mandatory and
specifically set forth that in the
event OF his being of the opinion
that such person on the enroll
ment list Is not affiliated with or
in good faith member of that
political party, that he shall"
cite such person to appear be-
fore himself and such member
of the political party as shall be
duly designated by him.
Hearsay Evidence Out
In citing said elector before 1t,
the registrar in the absence of
the elector through refusal to
comply with the summons Is
forced to the conclusion that the
elector is not In good faith at
filiated with his party.
1t Is permissible, however, to
speak through a representative
and while there Is no explana-
ton as to the absence of Mr..
DUMAS, the expostulations Of his
attorney clearly indicate his de-
sire to affiliate with none other
than the republican party.
In the absence of fact SUBJ
mitted before 1t the committee
will not be guided by hearsay
evidence no matter how well
founded It may appear to be.
1t Is therefore directed that
the name OF Peter II. DUMAS
shall remain on the enrolment
list of the republican party.

He said "BK" meant Bruce

"And I'm sorry but I don't recall

trio Co. employed Kremer, but an
assistant said Kremer was paid a
fee Of $1,000.
Black asked whether Robinson

Robinson echoed Hopson's testi-
mony about "BK" and "CU." He
identified the former as Kremer
and said he could not remember
the latter.

New York, June IT, (UP) - Prices turned irregular on the New York stock exchange today and volume fell off to around a million shares for the session, while more attention was paid to pur- chases of bonds where prices rose as much as points in the rails. <
 Principal activity in stocks cen- tered on International Telephone e telegraph stock which rose 9 point to equal it's 1885 high at 9 7-s. Elimination of the bond in- terest on Postal Telegraph was an aid for the issue. Western Union made new high for the year on short covering and then slipped back to a small net loss. American telephone eased to the previous close.
 The General Utility list firmed on hopes of modification of the Wheeler Rayburn bill. They held part of the gains. Consolidated Gas was. active. It touched 25 up l 1-4 and then lost half the advance. Public Service reached a new high for the year at 36 1-4 up l l-4 before running into profit-taking.

EFFORTS TO END
 TOLEDO STRIKE

Toledo, O.. June 17-(UP)- Thousands of early risers shaved and dressed by candle light today as mysterious interferences with electric current flow and scattered acts of sabotage seriously inn paired light service.
 Negotiations to end the strike of operating and office employees of the Toledo Edison company con tinued. The entire membership of the operating workers union meets at 10 a. m. to hear Assistant Secre- tary of Labor Edward r. McGrady urge a plan for settlement.
 Repeated interferences with the current flow to thousands of homes aroused fears for industries of a tri-state area that employ thous- ands of men and are dependent upon electric current.
 Last night and early today all lights in several sections were ex- tinguished and remained out for hours. Apparently switches had been thrown in the central power house or in regional control sta- tions.

 The bill continues for two years at present rates, such nuisance lev- les as those on chewing gum, gaso- line and theater admissions, in- port taxes on petroleum, coal, lumber and copper, and the present Scent postage rate.
 Enactment by July is neces ? sary as most of the taxes expire at that time. Failure to pass the measure by that deadline would deprive the treasury of $l,500,000 revenue daily,
 Break In Deadlock
 Washington, June 17-(UP)- Prospects of an early break in the month-old deadlock in the house military affairs committee over the proposed IVA amendments bright ened today after secret meeting of the committee.

 The committee consists of Chair man John J. McSwain, d., s. C., Reps. Edwin M. -Schaefer, d., Till, and Numa F. Montet, d., La. Both Schaefer and Montet voted a month ago to table the amendments, where they have lain since despite admin. istration efforts to dislodge them.
 Chairman McSwain said the situ- ation now was hopeful" while Rep. Andrew J May, d., Ky, one of the opposition leaders, said if they write the bill we suggested 1t will be pretty decent measure.

OPERATIONS IN
 BUILDING ARE
 STILL GROWING
Waterbury and Naugatuck Continue to Show Much
 Improvement

Building operations in Waterbury and Naugatuck which enjoyed a spurt last month, are continuing on a large scale, according to figures contained in the Waterbury Credit Rating Bureau bulletin for the first two weeks of June. A total of 24 permits was secured in the two towns, with the aggregate value of the work being estimated at SS5,000.
 As was the case in the credit bull letin two weeks ago, the present survey shows that construction work in Naugatuck is proceeding on a large scale. From June 1st to 18th, eleven permits were se- cured for work estimated in all at $22,650. Highly interesting Is the fact that out of the il permits in the borough, six are for the con- struction of new dwellings.
 Thirteen Permits Here
 In Waterbury, thirteen permits were taken out at the building in- spectors office. The estimated value was $12,250. Two of the permits were for the erection of new homes, with the rest for ga rage constructions and alterations of homes.
 The Naugatuck figures show that real building boom is underway in the borough. The last bulletin of the credit bureau showed that permits for many thousands of dol- lars worth of work, many of them for new homes, had been secured there, with to-day's bulletin re- flecting a continuance of that trend.

'IMMODEST DRESS
 OF WOMEN SCORED

Boston, June 17-OU.P.) - Will liam Cardinal O'Connell has con- demned immodest dress, and the painting of their faces and finger nails by women as modern pagan ism. Addressing 600 women converts at the cathedral of the Holy Cross yesterday, His Emin- once, who Is dean of the Roman Catholic hierarchy in this country, said that "any woman who comes into the house of God painted like pagan should be turned away un. til she learns what decency is."
 "All over the world the dress and fashions of women are signs of tho organism of the time" he said You have the Christian faith and the confirmation in that faith is to give you strength not to follow the foolish things of the day,
 Again and again our Holy Fla ther. the Pope, has given warm ing to women of this day about what they shall wear. Thousands upon thousands have paid no at- tention to that voice, or any other. They have kept on painting their faces and even their fingernails, like so many savages, merely be- cause 1t Is popular and the fashion of the day.
 Certainly any priest of the church or bishop would be entire- ly within his rights to refuse the sacraments to women who come painted like savage, with their lips painted in a manner in which even pagans would not dare to ex- pose themselves

 George Hoyt was on relief. and

 There's nothing to keep in the ice box. I'll sell it."
 No One Wanted Box. He put the box on his truck
