won points. The company, preceding
signing of the pact, announced wage
increase of 5 cents an hour for all
employees, involving about $25,000, 900
annually.
The market, before the start Of
trading, took its tip from London.

EIGHT GIVEN WPA'
 ASSIGNMENTS HERE.
Placed on Payroll of Gypsy Moth Project By Vel.
 fare Department

Eight young men from this city between the ages of 1S and 2S years, from families on direct relief, were assigned today to a state WPA gypsy moth project. Mrs. Margaret Yer. don of the welfare department made this announcement today and said she had placed the men after having been informed yesterday that the project would be reopened.
 About three or four months ago the state projects appropriation appar- ei1tly ran out and the local men who were working in the vicinity of WA. terbury for the WpA were dismissed from their jobs. It is not expected that the men sent to the project to- day were the same men who for- merly worked because since that time there have been several other instances whereby those men on the relief roles might have been abe sorbed. This has come about as a result of private employment, eco or WPA transferrals.
 Mrs. Verdon also said today that 1t was the hope of the local wel- fare department that two more men could be placed on the renewed WPA state project in the near fu- tlire.

 Although 1t was over that legal issue that opponents based their op- position to Blacks confirmation, 1t was apparent that underneath lay their opposition to the social and economic, policies which he has sup- ported.
 Unprecedented Action
 Failure of the senate-due to ob- jection by Senator Hiram Johnson, republican, California to confirm the nomination when Ashurst sought to bring 1t up yesterday was considered almost unprecedented. Ordinarily nominations of senators to other posts are immediately con- firmed under the traditional rule of senatorial courtesy"
 Johnson declined to comment on his objection other than to say the issues raised by the original su- preme court enlargement bill, which Black supported, were SO grave that he felt the nomination should fol. low regular procedure and 60 to committee.
 But other senators were less hesi- tant in opposing the selction of Black. Austin said he would vote against confirmation, as did Sena. tor H. Styles Bridges, republican, New Hampshire; Senator William H. King. democrat, Utah: Senator Ar. thur vandenberg, republican, Michi. gan; Senator Carter Glass, demo- crat, Virginia, and several others who declined to be quoted.
 \ large group of democratic sena. tors who opposed the court program were either non-committal or pri. vately undecided how they would vote. As a result. 1t appeared al- most certain that many of them were awaiting an indication of pulp lie reaction to the nomination be- fore making c decision.

major center of migration for Jews uprooted from their present lands, While Palestine has offered saliva ton and home to tens of thousands, other countries have continuously restricted the entry to refugees.
 Solemn Display
 "As never before during the past fifteen years, there is need for c solemn display by the Jewish con- munity of America of its support of the Jewish Agency for Palestine, which is recognized in the League of Nations Mandate as the supreme authority in the rebuilding of the Jewish homeland. Upon the Jew- ish Agency lies the responsibility for stimulating immigration and colonization, as well as for the pre- Servation of those rights gained through years of effort and sac- rifice.
 We appeal to every community to make of Rosh Hashonah the true beginning of Q new year tor a maximum number of our people in European lands. This we can do by undertaking appeals in our sy- nagogues on behalf of the United Palestine Appeal. The funds that we can make available will enable men, women and children to start upon new life that will free them from the shackles of European bondage and permit them to sur- vive as free, creative human be- ings.
 Let us dedicate Rosh' Hashonah and Yom Kippur to the great masses of Jews whose hope for 6 new year and Q new life is bound up with colonization in Palestine. We urge that through the United Palestine Appeal each congrega- ton help assure the survival of Q maximum number for whom room can be found and will be found in Palestine"

Washington, Aug. iS.--(UP)- Threat of a senate battle over con- firmation of Senator Hugo L. Black as a member of the Supreme Court threw new dangers today before harassed leaders fighting to save President Roosevelts battered degis- lative program.
 A block of republican and demo- cratic enatorS-resuming the stra- tegy of their successful fight against the administrators judiciary re.or- gani2ation program-pressed Q de- termined campaign to delay ap- proval of the Black nomination aii- til we've heard from the country"
 The extent of opposition to the appointment of the Alabama demo- crat as successor to retired Justice Willis Van Devanter was uncertain.
 Off-the-record as well as public comment showed that 1t would in- clude most of the i7 republican senators as well as an indefinite group of so-called democratic con- servatives.
 Friends See Victory
 Friends of Black. asserting that he would have an overwhelming majority. nevertheless sought to speed action by q Judiciary sub- committee, the full committee and the senate to block opposition sug- gestions that the better part of Q week would be required to get the nomination before the chamber.
 Chairman Hnry P. Ashurst, d., Ariz., of the committee vainly urged the senate to act yesterday.
 Senator Warren R. Austin, r., Vt, and Senator Edward R. Burke, d., Neb., led a vigorous fight against hurried approval by the committee. Austin, @ member of the sub-com- inittee and opposed to confirmation, estimated that four or five days should reasonably be required for action.
 Called Unconstitutional
 "rhe nomination is unconstitu- tional because Senator Black would be accepting e post the emoluments of which have been increased by e congress in which he served" Aus tin said, referring to enactment of the supreme court justices full- pay retirement act.

Resolved-That we the Jewish Democratic club of Waterbury go on record unqualifiedly endorsing and urging the renomination of T. Frank Hayes as candidate for mayor of the city of Waterbury: and 1t is
 Further Resolved-That our or- ganization pledges itself to give un- stintingly of its enthusiasm and ef- forts towards his reelection
 Today's statement in regard to last nights meeting follows:
 At the meeting of the Jewish Democratic club which was held last night Harry Baumel. its former pres- ident while still acting chairman took advantage of the opportunity to take the floor and started to make certain statements about the pres- ent administration Before he had Q chance to blow of much steam he was called to order.
 When the meeting was opened for the election of officers, although Mir. Baumel had diligently canvassed almost the entire membership of the club, pleading for support in his de- sire to be reelected president, he was not able to get single member to even nominate him although our meetings are conducted in Q man. ner permitting fullest freedom of speech and action.
 It might be of interest to note that while MT Baumel was vehe- ment in his reference to the admin istration, his only criticism of 1t and incidently the cause of his bit- terness as stated by him was that he personally was given Q "raw deal" in having been refused c job when he claims to have needed 1t although he did say that lie was always givef, consideration when he sought some- thing for c friend
 We of the Jewish Democratic club recognize that an individual here and there with or without justifica- ton may be disgruntled. disappoint- cd and even bitter towards the ad- rninistration because The, wasn't taken care of," however we feel that such individual attitudes in no way reflects upon what we believe to have been eight years of e reason- ably efiicient, businesslike and hue nlane administration, under trying and very difficult conditions That is why with the exception of but one smber we are again solidly behind

 Most Pitiful Figure
 The most pitiful figure of the tragedy was the wife of a police officer who gave his life trying to rescue the tenants before the crash. In Staten Island hospital lay the wife of Patrolman Joseph McBreen. Beside her lay her six day old son. She did not yet know her husband had died. A rescue crew had thrown ladder from the window of an adjoining building and Mc4reen went across 1t. As he started to re- turn with c child under each arm the house folded" in.
 The house-actually 1t was one house composed of three sections housing two families each-was be- tween 50 and 60 years old. It was located at the bottom of . hill, in c sort of valley. All Wednesday night c veritable cloudburst poured . miniature Niagara down into the cellar.
 slum Area Evil
 Washington, Aug. 13.--(UP)-sen. Robert F.l Wagner, D., N. r., today pointed to the Staten Island tene- ment disaster in which 10 lives were lost as one of the "slum area evils" which he seeks to eradicate in his 9730, ,000, 900 housing bill.
 T regret this tragedy" Wagner said, but it's the very thing I'm trying to prevent in the future.
 Under my bill only modern, fire- proof structures would be built. It would give recent, safe living quar. ters to thousands of under -priyi- legged persons. Nothing like the Staten Island disaster could occur with quarters constructed under that program"
 Rep. Henry B. steagaii, D., Aia., co-sponsor with Wagner of the hous- Ing bill, said that the disaster showed the need for remedying "ter- rib. housing conditions throughout the coutnry."
