Diocesan Chairman
 Hennessey Submits Report On Progress
Catholic Troops in MattatuCk Council Double in Nun Der Since Organization of Local Committee;
 Several Units Expected to Be Chartered shortly

Judge Frank P. McEVoy, James J. Hennessey and Scout Executive David Babson will be in attendance at the third annual meeting of the Diocesan Scout, committee and Scout executives of Connecticut which will take place in Hartford at the Hotel Bond tomorrow, it was announced at the scout ofiice this morning.
 MT. Hennessey, who is chairman of the local diocesan committee, will read a report on the progress of scouting in Catholic churches in Waterbury. The report is as follows:
 "The following churches now have troops in the city of Water bury: Blessed Sacrament, St. Fran cis Xavier, St. Joseph's, Our Lady of Lourdes, s. s. Peter & Paul. Sacred Heart, St. Thomas, St. Lucy's, and St. Ann,s and in Water town, St. Johns.
 Sacred Heart, St. Thomas, St. Lncy's and St. Ann,5 have received their charters since Bishop McAu- life started this movement.
 No Charters
 The following churches, have no chartered troops: St. Cecilia's, Im- maculate Conception, St. MargaretsS, Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, St. Pat rick's, St. Stanislaus Kostka, and St. Michael's."
 MT. Hennessey further reported that a troop under the leadership of Edward Siebert had been func- tioning in St. Cecilia's, but as there were only a small number of boys available for that troop, there was some doubt as to whether they would make application for @ char ter; and that it was possible that instead they will seek to have the boys enroll in Scout Troop at the Immaculate Conception Troop if one is organized there. At Our Lady of Mount Carmel church MT. Hem nessey reported a large troop has been formed with a scoutmaster and committee selected. Because ot recent transfer of the pastor of the church, the application for a char ter has not yet been made but is expected, within a short time. MT. Hennessey reported that troops were being considered at St. Pat rick's, church and at St. StanislauS Kostka.
 Because of the size of the dis trict, Rev. Father Heating, pastor of St. Michael,s, Wateryille, advised that the boys in his parish join the proposed community troop which, 1t has been rumored, will be sponsored by the American Legion.
 Committee Units
 "The following towns Middlebury, Bethlehem, Morris, Plymouth, Ches- hire, Oakville, Thomaston, Wood- bury, New Milford. Southbury, Washington, Bridgewater, Roxbury and Worthwhile all have community troops.
 "There are now six churches in the original Mattatuck area where it seems possible to have troops, but it will take little time to get fully organized.
 "There are fourteen outlying towns that have community troops and there is still a question in these cases about organizing Catholic troops.

bered, led 8 faction opposing the renomination of Senator William Hagearty of New Britain. The latter won out, however. Now a
 complaint has gone in that Ban nan is violating WPA rules and regulations by participating so ac- lively in politics.
 Bannan is also claimed to be out against the reelection of State Controller Charles c. Swartz, democrat incumbent. A private feud between the two men has ex- isted for some time. It Is be- lieved Bannan's animosity to- wards Hagearty and Swartz is be- hind the investigation being made by Beckwith.
 Beckwith is well known in Wa terbury. He ran for state sena- tor in his district two years ago but was defeated. He later en- tered the employ of the state and was later shifted to tn WPA. Fol- lowing his investigation of the Bannan case he will report to State WPA Administrator Robert A. Hurley, whose office is located in New Haven. A report is ex- pected later this week.
 Norman Thomas, the socialist candidate for president, will speak in Hartford on the 26tL at the Polish National home. This is the third time that Thomas has run for president on the socialist tick ct. His visit to Hartford on the 26th will be the first since early in 1885. Socialists here and else- where in the state are split this year so Thomas vote is expected to be affected considerably in the Nutmeg State.
 Thirty-four state federatiCns of labor; including the Connecticut group, have endorsed President Roosevelt for reelection, data from . Washington, D. C., discloses. In addition to Connecticut states re- corded as endorsing the president include Alabama, California, Colo-S rado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Idaho. Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland. Massachusetts, Minne- sota, Mississippi. Missouri, Mon tana, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsyl- vania, Rhode Island, South Caro- lima, Tennessee, Utah., Virginia, Washington, West Virginia and Wyoming.
 Connecticut democrats are hop ing that Joe Louis, Detroit negro heavyweight, will visit the state to speak. on behalf of the president. However, they are t..oOmed t6 dis appointment. Madison Square Garden, which has Louis under contract, has declined = permit Louis to make appeara -ices for political purposes. iss 'f-a

how the hell are we going to get
