reference to indictments Of high
officials In Connecticut"
This occurred in a general sum-
mary Of what the former Repub-
lican chief described as evidences
Of immortality In government"
attacking most drastica..y the ma
tional administration which he
accused of creating a double
standard Of morals In America.
OF this last, he said, that the New
Deal has fostered the idea that
political morals are lower than
private morals and that the lob
jective" appears to the admins
tration to justify the means.
He referred by the cited phrase
TO the Connecticut condition, and
dealt In detail with the situation
in Pennsylvania, naming the Of
fices Of officials there and cen
surfing, by inference, the incum-
bent governor for what he de-
scribed as attempt to bar legal

MAKING OF new
VOTERS viewed
Applications For Democra-
tic Members Discussed
at Y. M. 6. A.
(NEA Radiophoto)

Applications for new voters and
the making Of Democratic voters
within the short space left for this
procedure formed discussion last
night at q meeting called by Sen
ator George r. Culhane at the
Y. M. C. A.
While 1t has been part of the
program Of the Democratic Voters
Committee of State Chairman j.
Francis Smith since he undertook
the harmony" movement several
weeks ago which saw merging" Of
the divergent units within the party,
the making of new voters has not
been as concentrated as is usual al
this prediction season, the Cul.
hane contention was.
Ordinarily, with election less than
six weeks away, the Democrats
would have made about 5000 or
more voters by now. Reports are
that only about 1000 have been
noted in applications to the present
although some workers have OBJ
tanned several hundred additional
applications from the office Of the
registrars Of voters.
Applications will be received until
October 5 and new voters will be
made from October II through Oc-
tober 10, excepting October u, Co
lurnbus Day.
The Democratic organization
made 30Oo3 new voters In the years
1e27.le37. inclusive, and $4,000
names were taken from the lists
during that time. due to death and
removals. In spite of reports to the
contrary, the recent recanvass
about which Republicans comment
ed has not shown padded" lists
and the final report. yet to be made,
Is reliably reported to show only
slightly greater change than in past
years.
The recanvass was made neces-
sary by the excess work in the reg
istrars' office which was occasioned
by the change Of voting districts
and enlargement from 20 to 80 dis.
tricts. as provided by the ordinance
passed late last year.
There has been no particular
furry In the registrars office by call
for applications for new voters to
date and the staff is still engaged
In making the changes called for
by the recanvass.

So far as cutting OF personnel"
in these departments. 1t was learned
from a reliable source today that the
discussions of last night between the
audit firms staff and members Of the
subcommittee of the finance board
did not undertake these matters, as
published elsewhere.
Tribute to Department
Eact of the report concerning pos
sible cutting of personnel In the
welfare department was made an
issue today when certain of the
Griffenhagen officials commented on
the generally excellent condition of
the Waterbury welfare department.
It was brought out that the cost
Of welfare workers in relation to
the relief load handled Is one and
one-half times less than the amount
figured by the American Association
OF Social Service workers.
1t was definitely stated, also, that
Waterbury's per capita cost of vel
fare work Is decidedly less than that
In most cities Of comparable size
and larger.
Members Of the economy COM
mittee and the financial experts who
are working together with depart
niont heads to devise modern and
practical budgets for the next year
have taken amiss the attempted
injection Of political capital into o
matter which they feel is a prob
lem for disinterested adjustment IN
favor Of the taxpayer. without
wishing to be quoted, various MEM
bers Of the staff Of the financial
firm, engaged for some months IN
effecting economies and working on
budget plans with the economy
committee and various city depart
ments, have expressed appreciation
for the "entire cooperation" of all
city officials, members Of boards and
heads of departments.
Thus. reports tinged with the ele-
ment OF attack on administration
officials have been found tainted
with general falsehoods and not the
expression Of those presently inter-
ested In providing q partisan
outline for governmental structures
Of the future.
Bond Issues
The finance board will hear q re-
port on the qualifications necessary
to the sale OF three small bond is-
sues, long In controversy, from Capt,
James r. Robinson. Griffenhagen
partner. by way OF the Boston bond
firni lawyers.
But the matters Of budget OUT
line will not be presented In detail
by Griffenhagen representatives for
one reason. because the estimates
Of departments have not been COM
pleted and are not due for board
consideration until Saturday.
Fact that the financial experts
have been holding conferences with
the economy committee and vari-
ous city boards and department
heads may mean that @ report Of
progress will be accepted by the
board for the most part with next
Thursdays meeting the scene of
consideration OF the budgets in I'm
ished form, so far as the depart
ments and Griffenhagen are con-
cerned.
