DEPT.OF
CITY IS LAUDED
Griffenhagen Report Has
Not Yet Been Presented;
But Praise Is Coming

Waterbury leads a group of cities
in the record of its police depart
ment.
While the recommendation of
Griffenhagen g. Associates concern
ing the police department have not
been considered by the police board,
|. nor yet presented, as there has been
mo meeting of the later board since
the report was turned over to the
board of finance, the Democrat
learned today from q, reliable source
that the report Is laudatory in con-
siderable degree of the department.
From the standpoints of efficiency,
the report places Waterways de-
partment in an Al rating and points
out the remarkable average of ar
rests and convictions in the num-
Der of hit-and-run driver cases
which occurred here this year.
Department Functions Well
So far as economies in the depart
ment are concerned, the report,
generally, tends to the theme that
the department Is functionirig with
such efficiency that few changes
are indicated as essential.
There are suggestions, however.
about some transfer Of duties sew

motor patrol; no specific recommen-
dations a. to cutting of personnel as
was the case in the recommended
tons regarding the school and FIRE
departments.
The police report has been termed

source and 1t Is understood that the

economies. without thought to at
tempt change in a department so
well-handled.
Stands Head Of List
The department stands at the
head of the list of cities in some
matters pertaining to police work.
The record of accidents and crimes
compares favorably with that Of re-
ports on cities of comparable size
and Waterbury's department heads
the list in apprehension of violatorS
of motor vehicle laws, such as the
hit-run driver.
AS Is the case in the report on the
fire department, attention is given
to the considerable sums necessary
for the city to pay for pensions.

pensions are moral obligation of

Paris, Nov. 1l.-UP)-The Duke
and Duchess of Gloucester joined
the Duke and Duchess of Windsor
at the Hotel Meurice today. begin
ming what is expected to be B COM
plete reconciliation of the Duke with
the British royal family. The Glou-
cesters arrived by airplane from
Marseilles, on their way home to
England after a trip to Africa. They
went to the hotel at once.
The ducal couples are occupying
adjoining suites at the hotel. The
visit has led to rumors that the
Duchess of Windsor may later be
given royal status. Since his mar
riage to the former Wallis Warf1eld
Simpson in June, 1887 the Duke has
insisted that she be accorded royal
status.
Government Has Refused
The British government has re-
fused to consent. In Europe, how
ever, the Duke insists that his wife
is "her royal highness, the Duchess
of Windsor" and she is so addressed.
The reunion here, it was generally
believed, would lead to the Duke
of Windsor's first visit to England
since his abdication. 1t has been
reported that he and his wife may
join the royal family IN Its Christ
mas celebration at Sandringham,

It was understood that the ques-
ton of expelling foreign Jews was
under the most careful examination.
The difficulty was the possibility OF
reprisals by foreign countries. Nazi
circles reported today that within
the last few days, for instance, Po-
land had confiscated sufficient Ger
man property In Poland to pay the
costs of caring for 10000 Jews whom
Germany deported to Poland.

,ondoE, Nov. 1l.-(UP.-Great
Britain had made representations to
Germany to safeguard rights and
property of British Jews. 1t was
learned today. The representations
were made at Berlin yesterday as
soon as the government learned OF
anti-Jwish outbreaks. Sir George
Ogilvie- Forbes, British charge d.
affaireS, discussed the situation OF
British Jews with German foreign
office officials.
It was reported that number of
British Jews had been arrested out
side the British embassy In Berlin.
Official quarters had no informa-

The horror expressed by British
people at the anti-Jewish outbreak
was expected in diplomatic quarters
to embarrass Prime Minister Neville

they were all right so far as he was
concerned. In response to further
inquiries he indicated there would
be no change in his determination
to reach New Deal detectives.
He said that he had expected the
New York elections to come out Just

On the senatorial races he said
his predictions were wrong in but

eight.

Architects Handicapped.
"One is aware Of all Of the per-
sonal problems, sensitivities and re-
actions against regimentation that
associations suggest, but, against
that. one knows that where an
architect in a small community, for
example. would earnestly want some
WORK of art for the climax of his
building, he is handicapped either
by the fact that there are no in
dividuals In his community able to
carry out what he wants or he feels
difhdent about offering to the artist
the sum that he has available.
There must be some answer to
this problem, for the architect wants
the result and the artist wants the
work Here is task for community
groups and artist groups to face. in
the sort of guild that might be en-
visaged, the younger artists could
be trained on actual jobs, much as
the masters of the Renaissance OBJ
tanned their education.

Guild Idea Suggested
To Bring Art Into
Buildings
Contact Between
Architects, Artists
Is Held Faulty ,

The public demand for works of
art In buildings is not being ade-
quately met, according to a report
to the American Institute of Archi-
tects by Ely Jacques Kahn of New
York, chairman Of the Institutes
Committee on Allied Arts. Rigid
building budgets and lack of organ
ization among artists are the prin-
cipal difficulties, says Mr.. Kahn, who
suggests revival of the Renaissance
Guild.
The New York Worlds Fair and
the Golden Gate Exposition, as we'll
as Federal construction activity,
have disclosed an increasing ma
tional interest in painting and sculp-
ture. Mr.. Kahn finds.
"At the fairs, innumerable artists
have been given opportunities, and
this could only happen because pub
lie receptivity had been developed
to the point where this support
seemed normal" he points out. Be
yond this, however, is still a far
more serious problem. From all over
the country comes information that
while there is definite demand for
works OF art, it is very difficult to
adjust building budgets to cover the
necessary outlay.
Must Rely on Luck.
THE root OF the situation lies
obviously, in the fact that if the
artist must rely on scattered COM
missions-the luck of knowing some
one who has the power to award
contracts-he must necessarily COM
pute the value of the work to cover
periods where there is nothing to do.
1T is clear that one cannot herd
artists in group and value their
products as one might merchandise.
During long periods of European
history, guilds Of artists were effec-
tive in stabilizing dignity, quality
and recompense. What one asks
now is whether or not, in a very diff
ferent world, there is still some way
OF assuring the artist more serious
continuance of effort. So much time
is wasted on futile competition,
sales efforts that are distasteful and
strange to the artist, that one Won
