STATE HONORS FOR LOCAL MAN
Local Man Elected By COn- necticut Branch of Jew.
 ish Congress

Charles Rosengarten, well-known Waterbury realtor, was elected pres ident of the Connecticut branch of the American Jewish Congress, fol- lowing @ testimonial dinner last night at Hotel Taft, New Haven, to Rabbi Stephen s. Wise, of New York, who, with Gov. Wilbur L. Cross, United States Senator Fran cis Maloney, and Representatives Herman P. Koppleman and William M. Citron, were the principal speak CTS. Attorney Perry Graicerstein, of Waterbury, was elected secretary of the group.
 Rabbi Wise, completing 40 years as @ leader of liberal causes, made the approaching anniversary of the great Polish leader, Genl Casimer Pulaski, the occasion for bitter at- tack on the present Polish govern ment's treatment of lewis.
 "On this, the eve of the celebra- ton of the anniversary of the death of Pulaski, who fought and died for freedom" he said, "let some Amer ican voice ring out that the Polish governments constant indictment of its people against Jews in Poland is unworthy of Poland, of Paderewski, of Pilsudski, and Pulaski"
 Rabbi Wise, returned recently from attendance at the World Zion ist congress at Zurich, and he re- lated his views of conditions in Europe, citing a recent order in Po- land which aggregates Jewish pupils from other class members in the schools to Ghetto benches" as a reason why T am ashamed of Poland. We Jews are the first sacri- ficial victims" ... .. ...... .. ..
 Others who attended from Wa terbury besides MT, Rosengarten and Attorney Graicerstein, the former, with Rabbi William P. Greenfield, on the committee of arrangements, in- cluded:
 Mrs. William P. Greenfield, Esther Graicerstein, Jack Rutman, Sam Harness, MT. and Mrs. Isador Stoll, MT. and Mrs. Rudolph Hennick, MT. and Mrs. Louis Dorfman, Hymna Kastleman, Samuel Fishman, MT. and Mrs. Joseph Cohen, MT. and Mrs. Samuel Glickman, MT. and Msr.

GAME COMMISSION
 STUDIES NEW LAW
Ban Placed on ShOtguns By General Assembly ,
 Many Inquiries

Hartford, Oct. n--An interpreta- ton of the new state law prohibit ing possession of shotguns in the field during the three weeks pqre- ceding the opening of upland game hunting seasons on october 20 was issued today by the State Board of Fisheries and Game.
 The law, enacted in the last gen. eral assembly, has been found to conflict with rail hunting and hunt Ing on registered game preserves which is legal under federal and state regulations beginning Septem- Der and October 1, respectively The law also would apply to the shooting of predatory species, the board declares.
 The interpretation follows:
 Tn response to many inquiries, the board interprets the law as not applying to shooting of birds and quadrupeds for which there is all open season, private preserves, rail hunting, or to the shooting of birds or quadrupeds for which there Is no closed season."
 Landowners and lineal descend ants on their own lands, law en- forcement officers, the military and members of shooting clubs were ex- empted from the ban when the law was passed.

SPECULATION ON
 CULHANE'S PLANS
Fusion MayOralty Candi- date Made. Impressive
 Showing in Elections

The political future of Senator George Culhane, unsuccessful Fu- sion candidate for mayor in Tues days city election, remained ques- tion mark today. There is no ques- ton but that he made @ strong run against Mayor Hayes, but critics point out that he would have fared poorly but for the strong support given him by the Independent Democrats.
 Among the Fusion candidates, Senator Culhane ranked 22d in the number of Republican votes secured. He was given 14,3oo Republican votes, and 4,662 Independent Dem- ocratic votes, a total in all of 19,0el. His total of Republican votes com pares unfavorably with, for instance that of Anthony Petrillo, member of the board of relief, who received 14,b29 c. O. P. votes.
 With state elections due next fall, Sen. Culhane will perhaps think seriously of seeking reelection to the state senate. His main chance of victory, in that case, would be the formation of another Fusion movement. Republicans, however would probably decline to support him for the nomination, unless nc regular Republican candidate were available.
 The Democrats will, no doubt, should Mir. Culhane seek to run again for the senate, concentrate on defeating him. Without united Republican support and without also the backing of the Independent Democrats in another coalition, MT, Culhane would probably find jt pretty hard sledding.
 Democrats, meantime, hold that
