Lack of Teachers Self=As- sertiveness Blamed for
 Lowering of Salaries

Waterbury school teachers att tending the luncheon of the class room department of the state as- sociation yesterday at the Y. w. c. A. at Hartford were told that a Hack of self-assertiveness is to blame for the lowering of teachers salaries, the failure to restore pay cuts, and the default of payments to the teachers retirement fund in recent years"
 The speaker was State Tax Com missioner William H. Hackett. The luncheon followed the morning ses- sion of the annual state teachers convention held yesterday both at Nv Haven and Hartford.
 In view of the fact that teachers have been paying their share to the pension fund they should take some action toward having the state pay its share toward the up- keep of the fund, Commissioner Hackett said.
 He urged his audience to take the attitude God helps him who helps himself" and speak and act for yourself" Formerly 8 school teacher himself, the speaker ex- horted them to "come out of the corners and be more self-assertive." |"
 Commissioner Hackett declared it was the lack of this quality which was responsible for the lowering of pay cuts at the beginning of the depression and the failure to re- store them. Teachers were told to keep out of ruts, keep physically fit and to read the newspapers that they might be informed of what is going on,"

Outlining the plans of the WPA in Connecticut last night at the meeting of the rish-American So- cial club, Administrator Matthew A. Daly told his audience that 6,500 persons were now working on projects in the state and that 1t was hoped to employ between 25,00O and 30000 when the program was in full swing. The meeting was held to honor Edward Laughrain, first president of the club. MT. Lough- rain was presented with 8 purse of money on behalf of the group by Thomas Reidy.
 Senator Daly said the WPA diff fered from the old relief system in that It's purpose was to furnish men with wages for their work as against the dole plan. He said the wage scale was lower than that of private industry because it was not the intention of the WPA to com- pete with industry.
 Worthwhile Projects
 Declaring that the organization was selecting only worthwhile pro- jects, the state administrator said that when "the time comes to pay the bill,' the public will have been benefited by lasting Improvements. such as parks, recreation fields. public buildings and streets.
 Senator Daly repeatedly stressed the fact that the WPA was not in competition with private industry. He said: eff any of those on our lists can obtain private employ ment, so much the better. We are trying to get away from the system of distributing relief in bags and boxes and give people wages which they may spend at their dis cretion."
 Charity At Home
 Criticism of the WPA, he assert cd, came largely from persons who l. l not the interests of the needy at heart. As to the cost of the ne- deal, he declared that in the final analysis 1t would be no more expensive than the World war. He added that there had been no criticism of war expenses and com- paratIveiy little of the defaulted war debts. "Why should there Dc criticism of billions spent on our own people2' he asked.
