 Trophy Sought
 Harry c. Post, chairman of the registration committee, reported early today that unusual interest is being shown in connection with the silver cup prize which will be awarded to the club with the best registration for the conference. The cup has been held by the Williams town, Mass, club for the past sev- eral years but this year judging from the advance registrations yes-. terday, in addition to the early ap- rivals today, it is apparent that competition for possession of the prize will be unusually keen. Z Chairman Edward Davis said to- day that the Waterbury club which as host club is ineligible for the att tendance trophy, will nevertheless be represented 100 per cent at the convention.

relief.
 There are 2Ss institutional cases listed as of the end of July as corn- pared to S05 at the end of June.
 The increase of the number of persons wholly dependent on the city for support at the present time Is due, for the most part, to the statewide curtailment of the WPA personnal which affected Water- bury approximately. Persons sup porting families who were dropped from the work relief rolls had to turn to the city for food, clothing and rent payments.
 The present drop in the total, however, Is somewhat surprising in the light of the steady increase of the past few months. The welfare department report, on the other hand, is an indication of the fact that employment in Waterbury was high during July for the first time in several months.
 The figures released today were compiled by Miss Helen Driscoll of the department. They will be im- mediately forwarded to the ofilce of the state commissioner of welfare in Hartford to be included in the monthly report of that office.
 In addition to the total number of persons on relief 1t was also stated in the report that this fig ure included 6i6 families during the month of July. In June the totai number of families on relief. either direct or partial, was 800. The up. swing here Is coincident with the upswing in regard to the direct re. lief total.

 T say now of the New Deal, that if it must depend for its vallda- ton upon decisions participated in by members or supporters of this American, un-Christian, and ungodly organization, the Ku Klux Klan, it must be apparent to the country that the New Deal is found- ed in iniquity.

 We have equal responsibility with the president in this matter.
 "It Is our duty to preserve the in- tegrity and independence of the court.
 For myself, I have no doubt of what my action should be, Other senators will be governed, as they should be, by their convictions, but there rests upon us @ responsibility, In importance second only to the decision we made In the court-pack- ing scheme.
