SMALL GUEST HOUSE NEAR
CHEVY CHASE CIRCLE:
I am going to let you in on q
secret. A certain young lady who
has had lots Of experience in op-
Grating the finest type Of guest
houses, has taken lovely detached
home near Chevy Chase Circle.
There will be just a few guests,
for she only has four rooms to
rent out. The house is magn1fl-
cent in a lovely setting Of shrubbed
grounds with oak trees casting
friendly shadows, sunrooms with
comfortable lounging chairs for
the use of the guests, and a per
feet dining room most luxuriouSly
furnished. For the discriminating
persons wanting the best in loca-
ton and surroundings I am sure
this would please them.
TWO SINGLE ROOMS
ON SAME FLOOR:
For a couple of young men, I
discovered an ideal place for their
living quarters. It is the third
floor of a quiet, refined home.
Each room contains a single bed,
is furnished with comfortable
chairs and is well lighted. The
rooms are $25 apiece, and in my
Judgment they would be perfect
for gentlemen who are employed
through the day and who would
like a quiet home where they
might do a little studying and
have absolute privacy. These
rooms are located a step off 18th
Street and Columbia Road.
14OO BLOCK FAIRMONT ST.:
Do you like the feeling of free
dom? BY that mean living in a
house which is surrounded by
lovely gardens and walks; where
you have the spaciousness Of a
country home, yet about 10 min
uteS to downtown. IF that's what
you want, here it is in all its en-

Discrimination Is Evident Here, Says
 William M. Harris
Efforts to Recognize Former Mutual Aid Employees Futile - Rightful Quota Would Tighten Burden of
 Several Hundred Ayers Former Relief Director

and presumably with Q lesser relief burden. At the time, New Britain had 17OO men and women working on WPA projects, with prospects of employing 200 more. Roughly, this would give New Britain almost dou- ble the number employed in Water bury.
 New Britain Beats Us
 Under the NYA, another federal agency for the relief of younger un- employed persons, New Britain was granted Q quota of 1S3 in the high schools, compared with 106 in Wa terbury. There has been difficulty in filling the quota here, undoubt- edly due in part to the fact that children from families on the Mu- tual aid were not eligible. Dr. Thomas Condon, superintendent of schools, said this morning that 91 students were now receiving aid and that the quota would probably be filled shortly.
 The final disposition of the ap- peal from MT. Harris to the federal government for recognition for for mer Mutual Aid workers has ap- parently been made with the re- ceipt by Mir. Harris last night of a letter from the office of Harry L. Hopkins to the effect that the states quota has now been filled and that no more persons will be added.

NUSJ UNITS TO
 BE FORMED HERE
Northern End of City to Have Meeting on Friday
 Night

Residents of the northern section of the city will meet at Turn Ver- ein hall on North Main street on Friday night for the purpose of forming Q unit of the National Union for Social Justice, 1t was ar- nounced today by leaders of the central branch of this city which is included within the 5th congress sional district. It is expected that organizers in that vicinity will be active during the session in secur- ing signatures for the pledge cards which urge the support of the 16 principles as formulated by the Rev. Charles F. Coughlin, famed radio priest.
 The meeting in the North End has been arranged by Bernard Riel- ly, who will act as temporary chair man. The speaker will be John w. McGurk, vice-president of the cen- tral unit and one of the first organ izers to become active in this city. It is also expected that Robert Coughlan, president of the central unit, will be in attendance. Promi- nent residents of the North End said today that 1t is probable that several units will result as soon as sufficient organizers become trained and active in the district.
 Organization meetings will take place tonight at the Hopeville school gymnasium, Washington Park Community house, and in Garden hall on East Main street and will be addressed by well known citizens who are qualified to dis- ctss the problems which Father Coughlin hes been encouraging. The meeting at Hopeville school will be attended by residents of that vi- 'cinity: people living on Washington Hill and in the surrounding area will attend the gathering ct the Washington Park Community House, while residents of the lower Baldwin street section will assem- ble at the meeting to be held at Garden hall.

 Educational Trip
 Educational Chairman James Arr mold has arranged an occupational trip for next Tuesday afternoon. Squires, who have not already sig nified their intentions of making this trip to one of the city's busi- ness houses, may do so by getting in touch with Squire Arnold.
 Owing to the fact that 8 local gymnasium will not be available for Sunday afternoon the game scheduled between McGivney Circle and the New Haven Squires may be transferred to the Elm City, pending word from there. Plans are also being made for the local Squires to entertain Bishop OLeary Circle of Springfield week from Saturday.

MT. Harris declared yesterday that the discrimination against the city under the EZRA because of the ex- tstence of the Mutual Aid was still evident now that the WPA has sup planted the initial government relief system. Federal authorities consis- tentiy denied the city financial as- sistance for Mutual Aid Workers on the grounds that they were employ cd by Q private relief agency.
 Efforts to gain recognition for several hundred former Mutual Aid employees who were shifted to the public welfare department when the Mutual Aid was dissolved last month have been futile.
 Welfare Load Heavy
 The case load of the public well fare department today numbers 108T. It is MT. Harris belief that if the city were given its rightful quo- to under the WpA, this burden would be frightened by the transfer of several hundred persons to the federal works relief program.
 Although 1t was announced by WrA officials several weeks ago that the Waterbury quota of slight- ly more than 1000 had been filled, MT. Harris said this morning that he believed less than 900 persons were actually employed here. s.,s
 While 1t is true that no cornpar. ative' list of quotas has been releas- cd by the New Haven office of the WPA, there was published short time ago, the number of persons employed in New Britain, Q city con- siderably smaller than Waterbury

Although Assistant United States
Attorney John J. Wilson, who Is

Pastor Stafford and Janitor Stafford

the brightness before Him were Goals
Of fire kindled,'" he explained. Then
there's q passage that refers to heap

said he had agreed to take over the
