 Elected Secretary

were lacking two or three. I wish to thank those who pledged support to MT. 0larie, but do not wish to put anyone on the spot, and I wish to second the nomination Of Mr. Mulville." |.
 The nomination was also seconded by Attorney John M. Bailey, of Hart. ford, national treasurer of the Young Democrats, and Q Spellacy supporter.
 Election Unanimous
 There were no other nominations and the election was made unaIliln- ous, Chairman Smith appointed Q committee consisting of MT. Crary. MT. Bailey and Mrs. Gertrude cor" den to escort the new secretary into the meeting room. In c brief speech, MT. Muiv!iie thanked the committee members for his election, and prom. ised to do everything possible to aid the Democratic party In the state.
 Waterbury delegates at the meet Ing, which was preceded py dinner, were MT. Crary, Mrs. Corden, sena- tor Joseph Lawlor and Deputy Sheriff Frank McCann, the latter appearing as proxy for Town Clerk Dora Egan.
 In recommending the establlsh- mcnt of on advisory committee, Chairman Smith said it's major task would be to contact city and town leaders, something which 1t IS i'm. possible for tho chairman to do alone. Tho committee, he said, would enable the state organization to function more efficiently.
 County Caucuscs
 County caucuses were then held, with central committee members frc.n each county selecting their own members of the advisory coiii- mittee. The following were named: New Haven county, David E. Fitz- Gerald of New Haven; Litchfield county, Patrick Phelan of TorTing- ton; Hartford county, Miss Katherine Quinn of West Hartford; New Lori- don county, Edward c. Moran of Norwich; Fairfield county, John Me- Carthy of Newtown; Holland county, Albert Ricci of Stafford; Windham county, Rep. Margaret Hurley of Willimantic; Middlesex county, Mrs, Esther sheedy of Middletown.
 The central committee voted to accept Q suggestion from National Chairman James A. Farley that a Jackson day dinner be held Janu- ary 8, at S26 a plate, as @ means of aiding the party's treasury. Part of the fundns will be kept by the state central committee. The din- ner will be a testimonial to ex- Treasurer Holt and ex-Secretary Greene.
 Mulville supporters claimed that had it come to a record ballot the local man woulud have won by 1C votes or more.

Senator Lawlor Seeking
 Opinion On 'IdUlor Act"|

maintain, repair and care for snow removal of one North-south ant one East-West highway in every city. It was aimed at helping nluni- cipalities of the state.
 Director Golden of New Haven wrote Commissioner Macdonald some time ago asking about the state taking over two through high. ways in New Haven. He received the following reply:
 "Please be advised that As I in- terpret the so-called Lawlor Act, it does not require the state to as- sume tho expense of repairs or the expense of snow removal on city streets"
 Definite Answer
 MT. Golden then wrote again tc the commissioner as follows:
 "Noting that you interpret this act as not requiring the state tc assume the expense of repairs ol snow removal on city streets, I an now making inquiry to you to de- termine just what might be expect. ed under the act. Tn other words if am incorrect In my under. standing of the purposes of tho bill 1t would Do most helpful to be on. frightened"
 Commissioner Macdonald replied yesterday;
 "Please be advised that, as we In. terpret the Act in question, I cal see no obligation whatsoever on the part of the state with the so- called LaWlor Act"
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-11-30

Senator Joseph H. Lawlor of Wa terbury declared today that he would fight to the utmost any at- tempt on the part of Highway Com missioner John A. Macdonald to rec fuse to carry out the terms of the rawlor Act, passed at the last ses- sion of the General Assembly, call- Ing on the highway department to maintain two main highways M every city of the state.
 Commissioner Macdonald had inc formed Director John Golden of the New Haven department of public works that as he interprets the act 1t does not require the state to as. sume the expenses of repairs or snow removal from two highways through the Elm city. The state has mo obligation whatsoever" un- der the Lawlor act, says MT. Mac. donald.
 "HlS Version"
 "That's just his version of It," de- clared Senator LaWlor in o tele. phone conversation with The Dem- ocrat from Hartford this afternoon. "It's 0 lav', It's on the statute books, and 1t should be enforced aS much as any other act"
 Commenting on the claim that the act does not set up any Nppropria- tions or provide for diverting any other highway funds, Senator Law Tor said: MT. Macdonald's depart- ment has plenty of money. No special appropriations were neces- sory. Out of the GAG, 10000 the de- partment has to play around with

Chnnrn Their Minds

It was noted today that several of the petitioners had not expected this sudden action on the part Of their associates, and immediately after the meeting had ended, de- cided to send their children to the new buildings today. Tn several in- stances, this morning the mothers had accompanied their children, and later personally notified Dr. Condon that the youngsters were ct school.
 Unusual Meetings
 The action today followed one Of the most unusual meetings of the board of education held In recent years, and during which time mem- bers of the delegation were called upon to express themselves after Q petition was handed to the board by Mrs. Albert Deslandes of Bank street, and read by Dr. Condon. Tho petition claims that the distance for the youngsters to walk is greater than what is reasonable, and stated that some other plan could have been devised for Leavenworth high school which now enjoys exclusive use of the Croft-Clark building.
 Among the delegates who spoke on the petition were Mary Habib of Savings street; Vincenzo Masotta of Scovill street; Mrs. Virginia Beatty, Frank Bogden, Stanley NovitsEy and Mrs. Novitsky. Each speaker in some form or other criticised the action of the board in voting that the transfers be made.
 May Get Bus Tokens
 Chairman John J. Walsh of the boaid stated that he believed If the walking distance were too great for any of the youngsters, tho superin- tendent would be instructed to give them bus tokens.
 A; this point Commissioner Bur ton Walker rose and informed the board that he wished to reconsider his vote in favor of the transfer, stating that ct the time the motion was presented, he perhaps misiii- terpreted It's meaning. Chairman Walsh stated ct this time that Coin- missioner Walker had already voted in favor of the motion not once but twice, to which the commissioner replied, "Well, sometimes I make the same mistake three times, but that would not prevent mo from rescind. ing my vote in favor of this motion" He declared that If bus tokens were distributed, they would be given to some and perhaps not to others who need them. Chairman Walsh stated that he could not sec why bus fare should be given to students who have about one fourth of q mile to walk. He added that the purpose of the board was to help people such as these petitioners and in this par. ticular case tokens would be dis- tributed. Commissioners Walker rose again to state that when these peo- pie ask for tokens, they would be classified aS looking for charity, and all because of something they could

m the new action 1t was charged that Hurley lis unjustificably and without right interfering with the conduct of the state highway de- partment and the highway comtnis- sioner, and preventing the highway commissioner from performing the duties legally delegated to him by statute"
 The focal point of the action was @ definition of the term "real as- sets which was included in the act creating the public works depart ment and which, the attorney gen. eral ruled some months ago, in- cluded highways and bridges. i Judge Cornell, however, declared the term did not apply to any de- partment whose functions were de- scribed by statute.
 Three Claims
 The suit, which named Hurley and State Comptroller Charles O.. Swartz, as defendants, outlined three claims:
 i-Requesting that Hurley be per- petually enjoined from advertising for bids, accepting bonds and from interfering in any way with the states roads or bridges, and the con- struction and maintenance thereof.
 2-That Comptroller swartz be perpetually enjoined from issuing any order for payment of bills con- tracted by Hurley with reference to roads or bridges projects.
 3-That Macdonald, as highway commissioner, be perpetually en- joined to advertise according to the statutes for all bids on contracts relating to highways and bridges and to exercise sole and exclusive jurisdiction of all roads and bridges" 1"
 '"Real Assets" Puzzle
 Following the conference Averill said:
 "The entire issue has been brought down to the definition of the term "real assets as stated in the public works of 1D37."
 He declared the illegal" acts of Hurley and 6wartz "have resulted in the development of a craotic con- dition in the highway department and has introduced uncertainty and questions of legality in the con- tractual relationships between the state and members of the public contractors, sureties on bonds, and town officials, having dealings with the highway commissioner, in at- tempting to comply with the statu- tory provisions relative to the ex- penditure of public funds"
 The complaint was prepared witf the advice of Judge Cornell as Q means of obtaining speedy consid- eration both in the superior ant supreme courts.

Continued from Page D definite steps to reduce expendi- lures for the purpose of securing O balanced budget"
 Congress in June, io30, author ized appropriations totaling $2l8,- 500,000 for each of the fiscal years 1888 and 1889 for federal aid to states for highways and grade cross. Ing eliminations.
 S23S,000,000 for Highways
 An additional $2l 100000 for each of the years was authorized for roads and trails within and leading to national parks, 0 total of @2S0,- 100000 c year for highways.
 The secretary of agriculture, who administers the act, entered into contracts last December for appor. tionmcnt of $2l8,600,000 for this (iO38) fiscal year. The states agreed to match Slbo,oo0,0oo of that, dollar for dollar.
 The last congress appropriated S3e,00o,000 for 1888 fiscal year con. struction, leaving $2o0,000,000 still to be appropriated. MT. Roosevelt recommended that $l00,000,000 oi this be provided for In tho 1889 bud. get and the remainder In i040.
 Reduce Budget Sl00,O00,00
 By that means the l030 budget, Co be made Up early next year, would be reduced by $i00,000,000. Through cancellation of 1899 fiscal year fed. eral aid, the president would effect q total saving of $2i4, ,000, ,000 In the 1889 and io40 budgets.
 Mir. Roosevelt asked congress to "give consideration" to c provision In the highway law requiring fed- eral aid "regardless of the availa- bility of appropriations for their payment and the fiscal outlook of the treasury"
 "This mandatory provision" he said, "completely ties the hands of the executive as to tho amount of road funds to be included in the budget for any fiscal year.
 while I do not object to the ap- portionment among the states of such amounts as may be authorized for appropriation, I do most stren- uously object to tho mandatory in- currence of obligations by the fed- eral government under such ap- portionments without regard to itS ability to finance them from it's revenue"

JAPANESE SEIZE
 AMERICAN TUG
(continued from Page )

The American tug was the prop erty of tho William Hunt interests which were understood to be the largest American investments in China with the exception of the telephone and utilities interests The Hunt interessS were said to Do greater than the Chinese owned china Merchants Steampship Com pany in which the Hunt Company was understood to have purchased control prior to the hostilities. Unt- ted States consular authorities re- garded the tug legitimate American property.
 Japanese forces were reported moving toward tho Yangtse river from Kwangteh today in an effort to cut of tho Chinese rerteat from Nanking to Hankow, the new caps itai ;.
 Foreign military experts reported that the Chinese defensive boom at Kiangyin, 90 miles northwest of Shanghai, had been opened and that WarshipS and lighter transport were moving up the Yangtse toward Nanking.
 The Japanese have smashed their way to within about 76 miles Of Nanking. A Japanese army spokes- man asserted that the famous Ki- angyin forts, few miles above Kiangyin proper, fell late yester- day.
 May Refuse to Leave
 United States embassy attaches 10 Nanking were greatly concerned by the refusal of g American mission. aries, newspaper men and news reel men, to leave the ell but abandon. cd capital.
 Embassy secretaries, headed by J. Hall Paxton, could not force the Americans to leave. They vainly urged them to board the gunboat Panay of the Yangtse river patrol, lying of the city ready to sail for Hankow.
 Earlier 42 United States citizens Including seven women, had board- ed a steamer hulk in the Yangtse ready to go aboard the Panay.
 The embassy attaches were re- ported ready to give refuge to the remaining Americans in the bomb- proof dugout in the embassy com pound. ~
 The Chinese feverishly strength ened their trenches around Nanking and insisted that they would defend the city to the end.
 Da s.aeo tA GMQnAmh
 Tn Shanghai, where the Japanese continued to strengthen their posi- ton, it was understood that Chin- csc newspapers still publishing would suspend publication tomor- row because of the Japanese inten" ton of censoring them.
 Chinese and Japanese police guarded the offices of the Chinese government radio station and the MacKay Radio Corporation in Sas- soon House to prevent the remvoal of additional equipment by the Chinese personnel. The Chinese em- ployed have refused to cooperate with the Japanese.
 Await Official Word
 Washington, Nov. 30 - (U.PO - State department officials today awaited official advices from Consul General Clarence E. Gauss at Shanghai concerning an alleged in- suit to the American flag by Jap- anese naval forces in the Whang- poo river. Officials declined to com- inent pending receipt of official dis- patches.
 Action by this government. it ap- peared. will be determined by na- ture of the incident, as revealed in official dispatches. Ordinarily gov- ernments are quick to protest any act of disrespect to their flags, and an act of disrespect by the uni- formed forces of another nation Is considered much more serious than a similar act by civilian nationals.
