DISMISSAL CLAIM
 UPHELD BY COURT
Judge Rules Commission CT Correct in Case of
 John German

Commissioner James M. Lynch's dismissal of the compensation claim of John German against the Smith and 0riggs Mfg. co. is upheld to- day in Q decision handed down by Judge Edwin 0. Dickenson in shper- for court. The judge rules that the commissioner was correct in ruling that hernia sustained by German was the result of pre.existent condition and was not compensa- ble.
 It is believed that the case will be taken to the state supreme court of errors for Q final decision by Attorney Patrick Healey, counsel for the claimant. The appeal to su- perior court was aruged before Judge Dickenson several weeks ago.
 German claimed that on Jan. 30 of this year he wrenched himself while working on e pipe ct the fac- tory, where he had been employed for many years as Q watchman and handy.mala. He claimed that the inc jury proved to be Q hernia, and that the company should pay him compensation. He stated he was un- able to return to work at any time.
 The employer produced medical testimony, at e hearing before Com missioner Lynch, which tended to show that German had had a her. mia condition for several years be- fore the injury, and that the strain had aggravated the previous injury.
 Commissioner Lynch dismissed the claim and the appeal to the su- perior court was then entered.

FILA NAME USED
 IN NEW 'RACEKT'
C. of C. Denies Report of Federal Agency Closing;
 Arrest May Follow.

Information has reached the in- vestigaticn department of the Wa terbury Chamber of Commence to the effect that salesrien represent. ing certain out-of-town roofing concern, calling on residents of this city contemplating roofing and other repairs, are making statements that the federal housing adrninistra- ton, frequently spoken of as FILA, is about to 90 out of business in Waterbury. The chamber, for the protection of the public, wishes to most elnphatically deny such state- ments. An ofilce of the federal hous- ing administration, to render assist- ance to the public who wish to make repairs to their property of any kind whatsoever, is located in the Chan- Der of Commerce building at . Field street, and will be officially opened next Monday.
 Tn requesting the press to publish this warning, officials of the Chams Der of Commerce this morning said that information they had had every earmark of being just another racket" and that the public would be rendering 8 valuable service if they would call the Chamber of Commerce office and report any per- sens who state that for the purpose o2 securing contracts, the FILA is going out of business. It was fur- ther stated that those found making such declaration would be arrested and prosecuted.

TRAFFIC SURVEY SUSPENDED HERE
Official Program Sane toned Staff Awaits
 Word From Capital

Waterbury's WPA traftic survey was still at Q standstill today, and IS employees were without work as officials awaited official sanction from Washington for the continu- ance of the project. The delay is the second that the trafflc survey has undergone recently, the project beingsheid up several weeks ego be- cause of lack of funds.
 The present delay, according to Director Robert F. Birt, is due to @ technicality. Continuance of the project has been approved at the state headquarters in New Haven and the national headquarters in Washington, but no offlcial sanction for the further outlay of funds in the project has come from the con- troller general.
 For the past year, employees on the project have made survey of accident facts and causes in the Waterbury area. Detailed maps and charts have been prepared and sev- eral of them have won favorable comment when placed on public display
 Recently the project employees have been engaged in e detailed analysis of Waterbury accidents during 1885. The material pre- pared by the survey has been used to excellent advantage by the Wa terbury citiSens' tratAc safety corn- mittee.

Foreign Language Societies
 Valuable Asset To America
UnicO Club Pioneers in Encouraging Students
 of Italian Descent

new immigrants have been op- pressed by this very feeling of in- ferlority and of insufEiciency. They have been isolated in spirit be- cause they have been made to feel, too often, that they do not belong" Only a small fraction of the general public Is aware of the result produced in the for- eign born and his American chil- dren, by this sense of isolation and rejection. This constitutes the most important aspect of the immigration problem. It may well be that in the field of adult edu- cation, whether for the native or the foreign born, one of the major efforts would be in the direction of breaking down prejudices be- tween these two groups in Araeri- cen life and of building up Sinu- tual respect and understanding.
 Basis of Equality
 For the immigrant end his chil- dren are here to stay. They are an essential part of the nation at present and will become an even more important part of the Alnerica of the future. They wish to come into national fellowship on Q basis of equality, with the hand of welcome extended to them. In this way only will they be able to give of their best to the land of their adoption.
 As for myself, I am firmly of the conviction that America which began as an experiment in demo- cratic institutions, can only con- tinue and grow as democracy if democracy will concern itself par- ticularly with these forty million people of foreign stock in the countryside forty million new Americans of whom Q goodly number are concentrated in iso- lated immigrant communities, "for democracy cannot rise any higher than the level of the mass of its citizens"
 Mother of Civilization
 And 50 I have looked forward with great eagerness to have some share in this important and signi- ficant event in the life of this Italian n-Alnerican community in the hills of Connecticut. It is the Italian community evaluating its real and permanent achievements. It is the Italian community build ing up its communal life by more intimate contacts with the larger community and seeking to press more deeply in the life of Amer lea. It is the Italian community girding itself for the task of send- ing forth more of its children into the great American life fortified by the spiritual assets of the conn- munity and nourished, I hope also, by those fine spiritual things which Italy, great mother of civil- ization, has nouriShed generations of men.

their foreign born parents are such that family solidarity breaks down, parental control generally varlishes, and consequences often of . serious social nature result from this unwholesome situation. To help in avoiding these things, the public school should seek the opportunity to interprete syrnpa- thetically the history, the customs and the traditions of the people from which these children spring. It should try to make them feel proud of their heritage, make 1t part of their contribution to American life. If possible, the language of the immigrant group from which they spring should be taught them so they can widen and deepen their cultural life and achieve sense of cultural con. tinuity. The language should be taught not only for its literary and cultural value, but even more 50 ct the present time perhaps, for It's social, emotional and stabilizing values. Furthermore, the introduction of the language of the immigrant would bring that immigrant community into the school and this might well prove to be one of the most poe tent forces for real understanding, for strengthening the bond be- tween the school and the home, thereby hastening assimilation.
 Right Attitude
 All of this however, is predicat- cd upon @ right attitude of the American community. An attitude, whether expressed or implied, educates very effectively-either along constructive lines or with adverse results. An attitude of superiority, of suspicion, Q ready assumption of the inherent in- feriority of the newcomer, of the stranger, strikes with dire con. sequences at the very roots of hu- man relationships. Unfortunately, because of the aloofness of older Americans, the majority of the
