NO MISCONDUCT
 CASES EVIDENT
WPA Officials w armed That Workers May Be
 Discharged

m connection with the statement received by WPA officials from Harry L. Hopkins to the ef-
 feet that WPA workers may be discharged or suspended for thirty days for cases of misconduct and shirking on the job, local authorities here in Waterbury re- ported today there has been no seri- ous trouble in that respect on the projects here in the city. There have been Q few individuals who have given the local directors of pro- iects some trouble at times but tl:ere have been no general walkouts, similar to the one that occurred in New Haven on last Friday.
 The Waterbury men, numbering about 1000, have had no serious altercations with those in charge of various jobs ana the work being done here progresses as smoothly as can be expected under almost ir1- tolerable weather conditions.
 The bulletin received from the federal administrator orders that in this state, Matthew Daly, ad- ministrator from Connecticut, will be responsible for the enforcement of all penalties for shirking or mis- conduct. If such walkout as in New Haven should happen here an tnyestigatio would be in order. Last Friday 40 WPA workers in New Ha- ven walked off two projects on which they were working, claiming 1t was too cold to work. Official temperature records for the day gave the temperature as IA degrees above zero. The WPA regulations in the matter adopted after con- ferences with heads of projects, set forth the fact that work should only be halted when the ther- mometer dropped below 10 degrees above zero. Tn Waterbury, where the men have worked on streets when wind had made it seem much colder than the actual figures of the thermometer, there has been little trouble as regards walkoutS and general misconduct.

Reynolds To Be
Candidate Again
For Senate Seat
Returns From World Tour
Strong Advocate of
u. S. Neutrality

WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.-Sen-
ator R. Reynolds, Of North Caro-:
lima will be a candidate to succeed
himself when the time comes, he
told friends upon his arrival in
Washington yesterday from trip
around the world.
"The entire world is resting on
three kegs of dynamite" Reynolds
declared in regard to the Euro
pean and Far East situation.
Gone is in continental Europe,
one in Asia, and another in At
rica. Any one of the three is
capable of bringing about world
war, and I don't want to see this
country do anything which will in
volve u.s."
Senator Reynolds said he fav-
orcd strong neutrality legislation
and when the subject comes be-
fore the senate, he will give his
reasons, based on observations
during his travels abroad.
The senator repeated previously
made declarations that he did not
believe Italy could ever defeat
Ethiopia because of natural haz-
ards which make it almost impos-
sible for foreign troops to combat
men of Halle Selassie.
REYNOLDS said the war in Ethiopia
was not between Italy and Ethio-
pia but between Italy and Great
Britain, and he warned against
any oil sanctions or any other
steps which would aid either OF
the countries.
