REC TO APPEAL
 H|NCKS' RULING
B&W Case Now Likely to Be Heard in Circuit Alp.
 peals Court

Permission to appeal from his re- cent ruling that the affairs of the Beardsley and Wolcott Company of this city should be liquidated was given in federal district court yes- terday to the Reconstruction Fi- nance Corporation by Judge Carroll c. Hincks. The courts permission will enable the REC to seek the right to resume reorganization of the plant, halted when Judge Hincks ordered liquidation. .,
 Yesterday 1t was learned that the City of Waterbury has agreed to compromise on its tax claim against the Waterville Company, if the firm remained here and gave employ ment to local workers. The REC now has mortgage on the prop- erty. and is reported willing to put more money into the company il court permission is granted.
 Most of those interested are i1 favor of having the company re- sume normal operations. Interested parties discussed the situation We'd nesday at a conference held in this city, at which time the city an- nounced its willingness to- com promise.
 The appeal from Judge Hincks' | liquidation ruling will be taken in circuit court of appeals in the southern New York district. Court granting of the appeal would mean that the REC could advance fur- ther funds and that actual rec organization of the company would probably result within 6 short time.

HARTFORD PLANS
 WATERBURY IDEA
Want City Welfare Agent to Contact Managers
 Hiring Relief Help

During the past week the super- intendent of the welfare depart ment in Hartford. William J. Ryan, proposed Q plan to the finance board of that city; said plan hav- ing to do with the appointment of 8 city welfare agent to contact It's local managers, persuading them to hire such persons on relief that qualify for jobs.
 But the plan is not as new as 1t might seem to be. About two months ago, William M. Harris, lo- cal Lincoln House executive, adopt- cd that Idea here in Waterbury. This city is probably one of tine first cities in the state to put such a plan into effect. The local ad- ministrator's method, however, dif- fers somewhat from the plan nov up for approval in Hartford inas- much as 1t does not include the ap. pointmnet of particular agent to do the work. When the local executive started the Idea he simply took t upon himself to send out men from his own office, whose duty 1t was ot introduce the men on relief to the representatives of the local managers here and to speak to these representatives on behalf of the unemployed men.
 This method of having men to contact the managers and the men on relief now has widespread use in the state and 1t is some ways an assurance to the men on relief that men from out of town will not Dc chosen in preference to local aspirants who can qualify for the jcbs that may be offered.
