Marsh Is Approved
 Hartford, Conn, May 25-(UP)- Attorney General Edward J. Daly today ruled the governors nomina- tion of Harry W. Marsh, New York, as the states civil service personnel director, met all statutory require ments and that the two-year resi- dence clause did not apply in this case.
 Simultaneously Governor Cross issued a brief statement in which he said "there is absolutely no ques- ton as to the eligibility of Mir. Marsh"
 The nomination had been ques- toned by members; of the senate who believed that inasmuch as Marsh was from out of the state, he could not head the system without complying with the residence provi- sior1S.
 Legal Opinion
 The attorney generals opinion read, in part:
 Tt appears that by section 90 1t was intended that in order that any person might be eligible to take any test of examination to be eligi- ble for appointment in the classified service as a result thereof, such person should have been a resident of the state for two years prior to the date of his appointment.
 "It will be noted that the same section authorizes the personnel di- rector to waive said residence re- Quirement when no qualified resi- dent of the state shall apply. It is my opinion that the personnel di- rector, after he has been appointed by the governor, with the advice and consent of the senate and has qualified, will then be in the classi- fled service as result of competi- tive examinations.
 ''It is my opinion, however, that the residence requirement. provided

 Representative Swayne replied, There are twenty members on the judiciary committee. am only one. I merely said I would bring the bills up before the committee and I did so. It is not my fault that the bills have not since been reported out"
 It was learned later that the bills. like other legislation of this nature, are expected to die in committee.
 Authority Determined
 The City of Waterbury is seeking to rectify the fact that its charter does not cover certain situation of responsibility and has had raised in committee a bill stipulating the powers of the corporation counsel's office. It is expected to be reported out favorably and passed without any objections.
 The questions raised and resulting in the bill are - When a lien is placed, what official can or is sup posed to place them for the city the corporation counsel, the tax at- torney, or tax collector. !. Who can release such liens-the corpora ton counsel, tax collector or tax at- torney?
 The measure was introduced to clear up a conflict of authority and specifically rests such authroity in the future in the hands of the cor poration counsel.
 Amendments Sought Two amendments to the charter of the city of Waterbury will be con- sidered by the committee on cities and boroughs. One straightens out the city's retirement pension fund tC include employees of the school de. partment, such as janitors. tiremen etc, nov excluded.

AGAINST REDS
CALLED HERE

A national crusade against COM
munism will be launched here to-
morrow evening at the Willard
Hotel when the Convert League of
the Catholic Daughters of America
gather to hear the Most Rev.
Michael J. Curley, archbishop of
Baltimore, make an appeal for the
more than 100000 members of the
Convert League to join the drive.
Miss Florence M. Winter, ma
tional chairman, will preside. A
welcome to the group will be ex-
tended by Miss Augusta Uhl, grand
regent of Court District of Colum-
bia, and this will be followed by
Spiritual Thought Relating to
Prayer" to be given by the Rev. Ed
ward H. Roach, chaplain of Court
District of Columbia. Entertain
ment during the program will be
provided by the Glee Club of the

in the campaign to be launched
here are more than 500 units of the

more than 1000 courts situated in
the United States, Canada, Puerto
Rico, and the Canal Zone.
The necessity of concerted ef-
forts on the part of the national
organization to participate in the
national crusade is expressed in
an excerpt of letter recently re-
ceived by the national chairman
from Archbishop Curley, of Balti-
more, who said:
"The question of the hour
is communism. Every OppOr-
tunity should be taken to in
Struct our people in this most
dangerous of all heresies because
it is a heresy of sheer atheism
such as the world never knew
before, and a hereSy moreover

Approximately SO members are
active in the local Convert League
Committee, and the 400 members
of Court District of Columbia take
an active and personal interest
in the affairs of the local unit.

LIBRARIES

Declaring that Washingtonians
were book hungry" and that ap-
proxim ately so per cent of them
were not being afforded proper
library facilities. DR.. George Bow
erman, head Of the public libraries
Of the District of Columbia, today
told members of the District of Co
lumbia Federation of Women's
Clubs in session at the Roosevelt
Hotel that Washington lacked
sufficient branch libraries, funds
for those in operation, and space
and personnel for the entire setup.
The circulation of books since
1929, DR.. Bowerman pointed out,
has increased from 100000 to
approximately 100000. The per-
Sonnel to handle this task and the
space provided for the work has
not grown with the demand for
books.
Two of Washington'S branch
libraries are outstanding examples
of the dire need for more funds
and better housing facilities, DR..
Bowerman said in explaining that
one of the city's branch libraries
was housed in an abandoned
police station and another in an
old SchoolhouSe.
Anacostia and Brightwood were
named as the two localities now in
urgent need of a branch library.
Virtually every branch, he added,
is overcrowded and underStaffed.
These libraries should be operated
on a 12-hour basis, he concluded,
but the present funds and per-
sonnel will not permit such hours.

PLAN SERVICES
FOR MONTAGUE
TOMORROW

Funeral services for Representa-
tive Andrew Jackson Montague,
Democratic member of Congress
from the Third Virginia District
for the past "a years, who died
yesterday after long illness at
his home in Urbanna, Va, will be
conducted tomorrow afternoon at
3 O'Clock at the Representatives
country estate in the Virginia
town. Burial will be there in the
cemetery adjoining Christ Church.
Because of important legislation
before Congress today, the House
OF Representatives will not recess,
as is cuStomarily done upon the
death of member. Thomas w.
Walsh, secretary to the late Rep
reSentatiVe, said today that it was
as Representative Montague would
have wished.
Representative Montague, too
Ill to journey to Washington to
take his oath of office when the
Seventy-fifth Congress convened,
was sworn in at his home. A Spe-
cial resolution adopted by the
House permitted Speaker Bank
head to designate a member for
the duty.
On Judiciary Committee
Representative Otis Bland, life
long friend of the legislator, ad-
ministered the oath, which culmi-
mated a vigorous fight to hold his
office. Friends attributed the
heart ailment from which he died
partly to the strain of the primary
last summer. In the past election
he defeated Dave E. Satterfield,
jr., of Richmond, by a few hun
dred votes.
Representative Montague re-
sided at the George Washington
Inn while in Washington. He
served on the important Judiciary
Committee of the House.
He first came into prominence
in 1897 when ne was elected at
torney general of the Old Domin-
ion. Four years later he was
elected governor, serving until
1906.
Defeated for Senate
In 1905 he was defeated for the
United States Senate by the late
Thomas S. Martin, who was run
ming for reelection. From the time
he left the governors chair until
his election to Congress in 1913,
Representative Montague prac-
ticed law and became dean of the
law school of Richmond College.
According to the late repreSen-
tative's secretary, the Virginia
delegation, with the exception of
two delegates, will attend the
funeral tomorrow. The two who
will not attend are Representatives
Patrick H. Drewry and A. Willis
Robertson, who according to the
secretary, are ailing with the
grippe.
Rep. Montague some i'm e
before his death had made a spe-
cial request that Speaker Bank
head appoint no congressional
committee to attend his funeral,
but that his special friends in the
House be permitted to attend.
Surviving are his widow, a son,
Capt. Latane Montague. of the
Marine Corps; two daughters, Mrs.
Charles J. Moore, of Alexandria.
and Mrs. Joseph Nunnally, of New
York.
