SEVERAL ROADS
 {. TO CHANGED
Improvements to Be Real ized By $2O,OOO Loan
 Under Consideration

Beacon Falls, Nov. 20--Et is ex- pected the $20000 the taxpayers of this town empowered the board of selectmen to borrow at Q special town meeting Wednesday, will be used for work on roads, to help pay school expenses and to defray other town expenses, it was learned today.
 The full S20,000 probably will not be borrowed at once but parts of 1t will be taken out at various times, It will probably be on short.term notes and local taxes will help meet these obligations.
 Some of the money will 90 toward schools, teachers salaries and that of janitors here costing about $500 each month. Several roads will be improved, 1t is expected.
 When the meeting voted to install several street lights in the Pines- bridge section to prevent accidents there, Cotton Hollow, Burton road and Cold Spring road residents asked si1at lights be installed in their sections. No definite action was taken on these requests but 1t is probable that some will have to wait for Q time. The selectmen were authorized to confer with the state park commissioner, The Conn. Light & Power Go. and residents of the Gold Spring road section concerning lights there. It was pointed out this road is much 'sed by autos. It has not been accepted by the state al- though Q request that this be done was sent some time ago to state of- ficials.
 To Meet Wednesday
 With temporary officers chosen, the next meeting of the Beacon Falls Community Dramatic club is scheduled for next Wednesday at the home Of Mrs. George Ra,i, North Circle at 8 p. m. The officers chosen were: Miss Mary Worrell, president, Mary Mulesky, secretary and An- drew Rau, chairman of committee to choose plays.

Senator Assails Morgan Re-

Probe Of "ExpIoiting."
Ry the Assoeiated press

BY the Associated Press.
The onrushing tide Of events lead
ing up to November's election today
found Democrat assailing the Ma
tion's upper crust" Republican
demanding inquiry into charges that
relief workers are being exploited"
politically, and Senator Borah, Re-
publican, Of Idaho preparing for the
stump.
The attack against the upper
crust" came from Senator Murray,
Democrat. of Montana in a radio ad-
dress.
1T is this class that is in
dulging in the most unbridled vitu-
peration, and scandalously insulting
the President of the United States, :"
he said. I'VE hear great deal about
the danger of setting class against
class, but no one seems to realize the
revolutionary quality of the extraordi-
nary statement made here in the Cap
ital a short time ago by Americas
great financier."
While Murray did not refer to j.
p. Morgan by name, he discussed some
of the flnancier's remarks before the
Senate Munitions Committee here re-
Gently.
Morgan told the committee Feb
ruary that IF you destroy the leisure
class, you destroy civilization" To re-
porters later he defined the leisure
class as those families who can az
ford maid'D.
He claims that it Is the leisure
class which constitutes the safeguard
of our American civilization" said
Murray. Gould there be any bolder
demand for special privilege than
that? >" But apparently we find
that it is the leisure class that is
writing anonymous notes. threaten
ing and abusive letters and engaging
in all manner of unrestricted and
violent attacks against the President" !"
Senator Vandenberg, Republican,
Of Michigan, widely considered a pos
sible contender for the presidential
nomination, yesterday asked the Re-
lief Administration to investigate, in
the name of political decency," wheth-
er relief workers are "pillaged" for
Democratic campaign contributions.
