Puckey, O'NeiH Are

withdraw came after lengthy con- ference in the chambers of Judge O'Sullivan. Court was convened at 10 o'clock this morning for the purpose of hearing evidence in con- nection with the mandamus writ sought by Puckey. Both O'Neill ana Puckey were denied place on the voting machines by secretary -o1- State Dr. c. John Satti on the grounds that there were two canol- dates after the one post in the same party, thereby defeating the purpose of the party ticket. Puckey sought a writ ordering Satti to place him on the machines alongside the union party label. O'Neill was III court to protest his interests III the contest.
 COunselS Present
 Assistant Attorney General Charles J. Mclaughlin appeared for pr. Satti. Attorney Walter w: smyth appeared for Puckey. ONeln was present without counsel. At the outset of the hearing Attorney Mclaughlin recommended to Judge O'Sullivan that O'Neill be named a party to the action and be given the privilege of intervening. Thls would have given him the right to act as his own counsel.
 Attorney Mclaughlin stated that he was willing to waive all objec- lions that might be raised against giving O'Neill the right of inter- vention.
 First Delay
 Judge O'Sullivan caused the first delay in the proceedings at this point when he stated that O'Ne1ll was a former client of his and that, therefore, he felt that he would be disqualified to sit in at the hearing if O'Neill were allowed to intervene. Judge O'Sullivan also recalled that he. himself, was member Of con- gress from the fifth congressional district. :.
 O,Neill stated to the court that he believed that he should have the right to intervene as he would be very material party to the action before the court. Attorney Smyth argued that he didn't think O'Neill was necessary as 8 party to the ac- tion before the bar. Judge O'Sul- livan then asked that Judge Miles McNiff of the court of common pleas be called, indicating that he intended to disqualify himself.
 Never His Client
 While the court was in semi-re- cess O'Neill stepped before the bench and addressed Judge O'Sul- livan. He asserted that he didn't remember ever being a client of Judge O'Sullivan and that he was willing to have his memory refresh ed if he had been. T deny ever having had you in my employ" he told the judge.
 Judge O'Sullivan stated that he recalled O'Neill having been in his office several times few years ago. O'Neill then admitted that he had been in to see the judge, when he was not a member of the bench, concerning the settlement of case out of court
 Nevertheless" said Judge O'Sul- livan smilingly, "I'd prefer not to hear this case. I might lean over backwards in favor of the union party" indicating that he still held to the belief that his dealings with O'Neill disqualified him. O'Neill ad- mitted to the court that he had also visited the judges office to talk over old days and Knute Rockne and his Notre Dame team. The matter was

reached that not only will no stun dwellers ever accupy Redwood but that the government propa. gandists held out false hope tc them from the start.
 Army of Press Agents
 There are at least 1000 regular federal employees devoting their time to press-agenting the New Deal tc the voters.
 A majority of these master propa- gandists are in Washington, where such organizations as the Resettle- ment Administration, with 105 pub licists, and the Sociel Security Board, with IS, grind out press re- leases, pamphlets, and sometime: even moving pictures.
 They are selling the New Deal tC the voters at the voters expense.
 Of all the New Deal prcpagands agencies, that of the Works Pro. gress Administration, under Harry L. Hopkins, is the most compre- hensive and efficient. Its person. mel numbers at least 5000.
 It spreads over the nation from administrative headquarters in Washington and has divisions and subdivisions in each of the 4e states. Under each state WPA administrator comes a WPA direc- tor of information, and under each information director is director for the so-called WPA writers pro- jectS.
 The latter directors sometimes have as many as 100 reporters working for them.
 
 Boost New Deal
 It is the duty of these propagan- dists, laboring in. close contact with relief workers on WPA art, music and theatrical projects, to produce material favorable to the New Deal; to plant stories in newspapers and magazines; to publish pamphlets; produce radio programs, build ex- hibits, and send out public speakers.
 The New Deal government has even provided them with a se- cretly distributed, 39 page man. ual, showing them how to operate most efficiently every known meth cd of propaganda.
 This is propaganda raised to the nth power.
 The latest WPA propaganda scheme involves a contract for production of approximately 35 moving picture films at a cost of $4280 each, to be distributed among the states in the guise of newsreels. They will glorify. in- stead, the WPA projects, both the good and the bad.
 Voters should ask themselves whether any government which has to resort to such tactics to present itself to the nation in a favorable light should long be continued in power.

then shifted to chambers where both Judges McNif and Edward J. Finn, the latter also of the court of common pleas, disqualified them selves.
 Agrees to Hear
 Judge O'Sullivan then agreed to hear the case If Puckey and O'Neill could not get together. He left the two men alone Tn chambers and proceeded with another case in the court room. Attorney Smyth was also in on the private O'Neill- Puckey conference. The conference lasted practically half hour. There were huddleS in the ante-room of the court room ana in the corridor by the Puckey and O'Neill support CTS. Time and time again the door of the judges chamber would open and Attorney Smyth or somebody else would enter or emerge.
 Both Withdraw Finally the break came. O'Neill and Puckey emerged together. We're both withdrawing" an- nounced Puckey dramatically. O'Neill said nothing. Both men went be- fore Judge O'Sullivan's bench. O'Neill said he would withdraw if Puckey would do the same and can eel his mandamus writ petition. This was agreed upon. Both men were notified to inform the secre- tary-of-state in writing this after noon of their withdrawal from the race. And thus the possibility of a third candidate for congress in the fifth district faded.
 Both of us could not run and win for the union party and neither one of Us would withdraw without the other," asserted MT. Puckey. q am withdrawing for the good of the party as a whole"
 "When a party begins acting like a bunch of little children what can you expect?" asked MT. O'Neill. The two of us could not run so the two of us are out"
 Laws Inadequate
 Deputy Attorney General Me- Laughlin and others today agreed that the present election laws of the state of Connecticut are inadequate to take care of 8 situation such as caused by the Puckey-O -O'Neill fracas. It was intimated that bill will be introduced in the coming session of the legislature recommending the setting up of an election commits sion similar to that in Massachu- sets. In Connecticut, it was point ed out, a decision through the su- preme court could not possibly be reached until after election was over. If the election commission could sit, hear the case and render a final decision no such situation as that in the Puckey-O'Neill case could arise.
 What would have happened if 1000 persons had filed proper peti- tions for the union party nomina- tion for congress in the fifth dis trict?" asked one lawyer. Nobody could give an answer. The defect in the Connecticut election laws was unanimously admitted.
 Nobody else can run for congress on the union party ticket now be- cause the time for filing petition with the secretary-o state has elapsed. Both Puckey and O'Neill, for a time this morning, considered compromising in favor of a third candidate but found they could not do 1o, hence their withdrawal en- tirely.
 Democrats Gain
 Questioned by the Democrat, MT. ONeill stated that the absence of a union party candidate for congress in the fifth district will be distinct ly to the advantage of the demo- cratic party in hiS opinion.

 Chamberlain, regarded as the most forceful member of the cabi- net, and as the next prime minis ter, made his speech before dis tinguished audience at the historic Guild hall, where the Lord Mayor gave a banquet to bankers. His reference to the new move toward economic disarmament was ap- plauded enthusiastically. He forecast the eventual return of the gold standard.

with billions of dollars being sper what justification can the New De; eral treasury and the relief funds operating a machine to perpetu- ate that New Deal in office?
 When voters realize the extent to which the New Deal has gone to propagandize the nation, they will all the more understand why James A. Farley reported to Pres ddent Roosevelt that only two million dollars in voluntary con- tributions to the New Deal party's war chest would be required.
 The taxpayers themselves are supplying the rest by supporting the propaganda machine, and they have no choice in the matter. The government simply collects the taxes from them. Whether they agree with the New Deal or not, they must submit to having the money spent on an organization which will tell them only favorable things about their government.
 Use Many Agencies
 The New Deal government propa- Randists utilize every avenue of publicity extant in putting across their story. They use the radio, moving pictures, billboards, posters, photographs, dioramas, exhibits, newspapers, and public speakers. Ths voting public is bombarded from every angle with the stuff.
 The announcements issued when the Public Works Administration. after three years of effort, com pleted Redwood" its first gov ernment-owned, low cost, slum clearance housing project in Allan ta. shows how the propagandists work. The PWA propagandists de- clared:
 'sTechwood means that former slum-dwelling families can move into fine, modern, well-equipped homes"
 The news release shows that the average rental per room in these homes will be $7.39 a, month. The PWA's own records show that slum-dwellers who lived on the very site where Tech wood is built could afford to pay no more than $3.o8 per room per month for the novels they accu- pied.

then and left the studio. AS the door swung behind them Bill caught Toby's arm under his own. He look ed down at her, grinning. So" he said, my young friend is on the threshold of fame and fortunel Co., ing to be a model. Going to have your picture on magazine covers and bill boards from Maine to California. Going to make lot of money! That calls for a celebration, Toby. A reg ular bang-up-"
 She stopped him. "Oh, but I'm not, Bill. I mean this was just 8 sort of try-out. If the pictures are good, maybe I'll have a chance"
 "The pictures" he told her, "are going to be knock-outs. Didn't I see them being made? Yes, Miss Ryan, tonight we celebrate"
 The elevator halted and they stepped inside. A moment later they were making their way through the lobby to the street. Bill went through the motions of ad- justing a monocle. He said, with an exaggerated accent. "Beastly nuisance, but, do you know, neg lected to bring the town car this afternoon. Silly whim of mine, walking"
 Toby grinned.. T have the same whim myself she said. Come on."
 They set off down the street. Half way to the corner they passed a florists shop, the brightly lighted window gay with spring flowers. Toby gave a little cry. Oh" she said, "aren't they lovely?"
 There were tulips and daffodils and pink and blue hyacinths in the window. There were nosegays of purple violets, each neatly circled by green leaves. And in the very center, snow-white and velvety, was a corsage of gardenias tied with a silver ribbon. ! Bill hesitated but an instant, Then, pushing her gently before him, he said, Were going in here"
 Why, Bill"
 They were inside the shop then, breathing the heavy odors of a dozen different flowers. Bill said to the middle-aged, spectacled man who came forward, "Gardenias for the young lady"
 The salesman nodded. We have some very nice ones," he said. Something at about dollar each?"
 
 1mpatiently, Bill pointed to the corsage in the window. "No," he said, i've want that one. It's for sale, isn't it?"
 Why, yes - of course"
 The salesman produced the cor sage and Toby fastened it to her shoulder. Turning from the mir TOT she said, "Oh, Bill, they're beautiful! They're the loveliest flowers in the world"
 They should be. Didn't I tell you we were going to celebrate?"
 He handed the salesman bill and moment later received the change.
 Out in the night once more, Toby said. Bill, I've never had such lovely flowers. Never! But I shouldn't have let you spend all that money. We're going back to our old cafeteria"
 Bill looked up from the nickels and dimes in his hand. "What?" he said. "Go to that cheap, ordi- nary place on night like this2 Hardlyl" Then he grinned. I'll tell you what, though" he said, slipping her arm in his once more. There's another one up the street that isn't 50 bad"
 They dined at the cafeteria up the street. Over the days "spe- ciaT"-pot roast, cabbage salad, hot rolls and coffee for 65 cents-Toby told the whole story: Why she had left Bergman's; how she had gone hunting job and met Hiatt and
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-04-14

how he had sent her to the Models League; how she had gone from there to Hiatus studio.
 Bill was indignant when he heard what had happened at the store. But someone must have planned that" he said. They must have done it deliberately"
 T know. But what can I do about it?"
 You ought to be able to do some- thing. Believe mel"
 T can't, Bill. Even if I knew who did it - knew for sure - l couldn't force the to take me back"
 No. I suppose not"
 She went on, telling him about the Models League and her talk with Ben Blake. Bill listened smoking thoughtfully. She ex- plained how all her hopes of be- coming professional model de- pended on the pictures Hiatt had made that afternoon, and they dis cussed this too.
 It was late when they left the cafeteria. Toby ruled out Bills suggestion of a movie and they rode uptown on the subway. Bills mood of gaiety had returned. It seemed to vanish, however, as they walked the blocks between Toby's rooming house and the subway sta tion. A dozen steps from the door he said shortly, Toby, there's something want to say to you. I hope you'll understand"
 The girl looked up quickly. She said, "Why, of course-" and won dered why he did not go on. (TO Be COntinued)
