BRUSHES, TR0T
 RIDING STARS,
 QUIT SULK|ES
Harness Racers Now Able Trainers of Running
 Horses at Agawanl

Springfield, May 5-The running horses have got into the blood of the Brusie family, and for the first time in more than half a century, no member of the Brusie family will be holding the reins of the trotters or pacers.
 Two years ago, Lyman Brusie, one of the most successful drivers on the roaring Grand, quit the light harness brigade to train the run- ners. Now he is in charge of a stable of 20 at .arragansett, and they will be shipped to Agawam Park Q week before the meeting opens on the 18th of May.
 Harry Brusie of Hartford, Conn, famous father of a famous son, recently forsook his first love for the running game, and he has an- nounced to close friends that he never again intends to sit in 8 sulky. E.
 Going Good
 That determination was empha- sized a few days ago when Ipso Facto, which recently ran third at Harve de Grace, came strolling down the stretch at 'Gansett. The elder rusie is training seven thoroughbreds at Narragansett, and both he and his son, Lyman will come back to the country where they were born and mred, and to win, in all prob- ability, their share of the more than $200, ,000 in purses which will be dis tributed.
 Horsemen brought up in the severe school of the half-mile tracks and the Grand Circuit have had conspicuous success in training the runners, and the elder Brusie is the latest to take his shot at the dicher purses offered by the lead- ing tracks of the country.
 The Brusie outfit will be only one of more than 250 stables which will be gathered here before the 18th of May. Last year, 45 percent of the peepul'S choices won at Agawam Park, to make it theleading New England race track and one of the leading tracks in thenation in this respect.
 Horsemen like the Brusies and stewards like George Brown. Jr., William H. Ensign, and Wilmen Brinton Jr., make such a high per- centage of winning favorites pos- dible. Recently, George Mulligan of Waterbury and Homer Rainault of Holyoke, the two most famous pro- motors in Western New England, were appointed to official positions and they will pointly exercise their promotional genius in making the approaching 36-day meeting by far the most successful in the history of the track.

technical jobs. Another source through which reductions in WpA ranks may be affected, according to Mir. Sullivan, Is the recent Wash-. ington ruling to the effect that where the presence of aliens on projects is called to the administra. tors attention, they are to be dis- placed. This responsibility falls di- rectly on the shoulders of local communities, according to the ad- ministrator, since certifications of persons for WPA work never have disclosed such information as an ap- 'plicant's citizenship standing, his race, creed and similar personal in- formation.
 1b,54L on Rolls
 The current WPA employment figure in Connecticut Is i6,64i, or slightly more than half of the peak load, reached in January of 1886. Spring and summer have found the rolls in this state gradually being reduced by the return of hundreds to private employment. In many cases replacements were made from waiting lists maintained by local welfare agencies. However, If this state is to meet the employment figure of i3000 in tho next two months further replacements, ace cording to MT Sullivan, are out Of the question.
 If 1t is found that halting rec placements, together with the dis- charge of aliens who had not ape piled for United states citizenship on June 20 (the date Of passage of the io37 Relief AcO fails to suf- ficiently meet the figure set for Connecticut by Washington, veter- ans of United States wars affected by an arbitrary reduction ruling will be given preference. These veterans, according to the administrator, upon being dismissed-provided such dismissal was not due to in. efficiency or misconduct--should immediately furnish proof of war servi,e to their foremen or time- keepers, through whom the matter will be brought to tho attention of the division of employment.
 Personnel Stan
 Mir. Sullivan pointed out that along with reduction of relief per. sonnel in Connecticut, non-relief and administrative positions on the state WPA rolls will likewise have to be reduced because the size of these groups has been determined since the inception of the federal work.relief program by the size of the relief employment.
 In connection with the plan to discharge aliens when their pres. ence on WPA projects is brought to the attention of state headquarters, Mir. Sullivan pointed to the 1887 Relief Act for such authority. This act, he stated, makes it mandatory that the administrator shall not knowingly employ on such projects aliens who have not filed decla- ration Of intention to become citi- zens." This act also provides pref erence for all veterans.

Gradual Curtailment Expected To Reach
 Climax In October
z,5OO Slated for Dismissal State Headquarters An nOunces- Office Personnel Also Included in Plan
 of Retrenchment- Aliens Must File Intentions

If 2,B00 more persons are to be dropped from the state WPA be- fore the month of october, how will this affect the local personnel? This seems to be the prevalent question in the minds of Waterbury workers today following an an- nouncement from the state office in New Haven.
 The answer iA as far as the lo- eel situation shapes up ct the pres- ent time, that under normal reduc- ton rates, so to speak, Waterbury would lose another hundred persons, thus reducing the local WPA rolls to about Q 800 total.
 100 Aliens Here
 But the fact that there are aliens on local projects may alter this fig ure. As e matter of fact it has been conservatively estimated that there are more than 100 aliens On local WPA jobs. Tn tho light of the recent announcement of Vincent Sullivan, state WPA head, these should Do the first to go. The fact that an investigation of aliens has been started locally seems to indi- cate that the local welfare depart- ment is prepared to have them all ''lined up" by October 50 that when the axe falls it will be . simple matter to name the aliens and dis- miss them from the local WPA rolls,
 This process, incidentally, (the re- Tnoval of 100 or more persons from the WpA) will make c total of over 200 dropped from the WPA in . period of five months. This will ifl- crease the local relief load, unless private industry picks up noticeablv, by some five to seven hundred per. sons.
 The curtailment plans released by Vincent Sullivan, state WpA head, follow:
 Gradual Reduction
 Gradual reduction of WPA re. lief rolls in Connecticut to c total personnel figure of i3,000 in sep- tember and October Is necessary due to the decreased appropriation which congress has allowed for the forthcoming fiscal year, State Works Progress Administrator Vincent J. Sullivan disclosed yesterday.
 The administrator statement yesterday was the first definite prediction concerning the future size Of WPA rolls in this state, earlier official references to the sub- ject being avoided due to uncertain- ties concerning the budget alloca. tion by Washington to Connecticut. Mv. Sullivan, who stated that he Is not at liberty yet to announce how the reduction of project rolls will affect individual communities, exc plained that he hopes to take scv- eral courses in bringing connecti- cuts rolls down to the i3,000 figure ordered by Washington.
 Employees are leaving the WPA, said Mr. Sullivan, in very substan- tiai numbers. These men and wom- en will not be replaced, it was an. nounced, unless in certain isolated casss replacements are vital to in- suFe continued efficiency on highly
