 900 By October

New Haven, Conn, July 27-(UP) A sweeping reduction of 2b00 per- sons from the rolls of the Connecti- cut Works Progress administration within the next two months was announced today by Administrator Vincent J. Sullivan.
 By the end of October, Sullivan said, the total personnel of the WPA in the state will Do i3,000 per- sons.
 Sullivan was unable to say just where the reductions would be made. Several courses, he said, will be taken in various communities to bring down the relief total to 6 size which can Do covered by c reduced appropriation from Washington.
 May Displace Aliens
 The administrator indicated aliens may Dc displaced on relief rolls, and that war veterans may get preference.
 Approximately iS,S4i persons are employed now by WPA, Sullivan said, about half the peak reached ie months ago. A great many per- sons within the past few months, the administrator pointed out, have obtained private employment. They will not Dc replaced, he said.
 A reduction also will have to be made ii non.relief and adminiStra- tive positions in the WPA, Sullivan said, because the size of these groups depends on the number Of persons employed on the relief rolls.

University Prof. Is Again
 Troubled yStrangeD Demon

Madison, Wis, July 27.-(UP)-- Prof. William Ellery Leonard, white- haired poet and teacher, waived to- day for his third wife to decide whether she would leave him alone in his "phobic prison"
 If she decides to divorce him, he will not oppose her, he said, but he would like to have her back.
 T am disturbed by vague lone- liness," he said.
 Mrs. Leonard, embarrassed by the demon whose image panics the pro- lessor whenever he leaves the neigh borhood of his home, was in Chicago deciding whether to carry out di- vorce plans she had discussed with her attorney.
 Leonard, left alone, disclosed that he had returned to the prison" from which his young wife once delivered him.
 The prison" is an area of six blocks radius adjoining the univer- sity of Wisconsin campus where Leonard teaches English. The "de- mon" ranges everywhere outside this area. It first appeared to him when he was three. It came to him when his first wife killed herself. He married again, and was divorced 20 years later. But in one of Leon- ards classes, Grave Golden, . Stu- dent, studied the obsession as de- scribed in Iennard's poem. "Tocomo- tive God"

 She took him away today on his first vacation in ten months.
 Everybody has been after his money" she said. "UnleSs his fu- ture can be better assured I don't think there Is any reason for him to continue in Hollywood. There has been no happiness for either of us. I am planning to take him back to England where he can 60 to school. If we 60, he will not TO. turn.

 We have passed the walls," he announced jubilantly. He was 60 then, and his wife 2s.
 Months later, Mrs. Leonard ac- cused her husband of trying to make her feel she was insane. She asked for c divorce and 1t was grant, ed. A month later the Leonards were reconciled and the divorce de- cree was set aside.

Copyright, loS7, by United PrsssD
 Washington, July 27. - (UP) John L. Lewis, through the Committee for Industrial Organization, as- stunned control today of labor's non-partisan league in a move pointing to new political alignments and sui. gesting a break with the Roosevelt administration.
 There were hints of . third party move. Authoritative sources said the first objective of the league in its new form may be expected in New York city'S inayoralty campaign. It has been reported in political circles that Mayor Fiorello II. La ouardia might run for reelection as the candidate of the American labor party alone without either the democratic or tho republican nosn- ination.
 The American labor party ls the New York state affiliate of iabor's non-partisan league. Thus c first test of the leagues strength might be had before the 1888 congressional campaigns If La duardia should decide to run without formal spon- sorShip of either major party.

New York, July 27-(Up)-The question in New York city political circles today was whether Tamimany Hall would stand by the candidate Leader, James ]. Dooling, who died yesterday, picked for the democratic mayoralty nomination--U. 6. Sen Royal 6. Copeland.
 Tammany, already split by fac- tions supporting Copeland and those backing Grover 4. Whalon for the nomination. was thrown Into further confusion by tho death Of its a. year-old leader.
 Dooling. who died yesterday from apoplexy induced by . heart attack, had succeeded in winning c major- ity of the Tammany executive ccra@ inittee to Copeland over the op@ position of the New Deal leaders of the Bronx, Richmond, Kings and Queens Boroughs.

 No formal conferences concerning . successor of Dooling are expected until after his funeral Thursday. Hy virtue of his position as chairman of the executive committee, Wiiliaga B. Kenneaily has become the teri- porary, titular leader.
