Poll Of Commission

 Favoring New Plan
Judges McGrath MascolO of Waterbury Among Lead- ing Advocates Congestion in County JaiIs Ad-
 vanced as Argument Merit System Favored

citation are several Waterburians and among the members are many of the most prominent jurists and penal authorities in Connecticut.
 Final figures reveal that approx imateIy 43 per cent of the member ship replied to the poll. Replies to a second question on the merit Sys- tenn for all public officials had the following results: 234 in favor, 10 against, and g undecided. On the question of appointment of proba- tion officers after certif1cation fol- lowing examination, 237 were in fa- vor, opposed and undecided.
 Need Emphasized
 The need for such farm has been pointed out on several occa- sions from the city court bench, the latest only few weeks ago when Judge Mascolo said conditions at Norwich were such that it was no longer advisable to commit inebri- ateS except in cases of absolute necessity. Calling attention to the serious overcrowding of the institu- tion, he refused to sentence an al- legged inebriate to Norwich despite a plea that he do so by members of the mans family.
 Relieve JailS
 A jail farm, for the establishment of which a committee representing all sections of the state has been actively working, would among other benefits provide a suitable haven for offenders of this type, proponents claim. It would likewise by taking care of small term cases, greatly relieve congestion at the county jails, it is said.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-10-08

Establishment of a state jail farm, advocated by Judges John F. Mo- Grath and Edward Mascolo of the city court bench and other promi- nent Waterburians, was brought a step nearer today with the an- nouncement of the completion of 8 poll taken among members of the Connecticut Prison Association, showing overwhelmingly favorable sentiment. Of the 249 replies re- ceived, PIP favored the establish ment of the farm, 21 were opposed and IS were undecided.

Wiesenberger Reports Greater In.

sLsejai Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. August 25.-Arthur
Wiesenberger Of Distributors Group,
Inc, who returned Friday from q
three months trip to the leading in
vestment centers in England, Scot
land, Holland and France, reports q
greater interest in American stocks
than at any time since 1928.
The wave of buying which COM
menced on a conservative scale In the
Summer Of 1882 has steadily increased
until today it has assumed almost
boom proportions" stated Mr.. Wiesen-
berger in an interview yesterday.
Until about six months ago much
of this buying was of a hesitant
nature. with potentialities Of large
liquidation in the event Of French de
valuation. Since then the increasing
political disturbances in Europe and
the steadily improving business situa-
ton in the United States has caused
European investors and spectators to
regard their American investments as
long-term holdings"
Mr.. Wiesenberger finds European
investors principally interested in
heavy industry and building shares at
present, with certain groups also keen
on railroad and utilities stocks.
