By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, March This excitement over so-called admins tration "meddling" in local elections is mighty late getting started-and there seems to be an argument whether any meddling is going on.
 Some of the lads arc chatterlng as if it were a sudden develop ment to have various Administra- ton officials speak out for mem- bers of Congress who gave sup port in the pinches. AS a matter of fact it began not later than last October.
 Barely had Postmaster General Farley announced last fall that there would be no "reprisals' against Court Bill opponents than Senator Guffey of Pennsylvania cut loose with speech in which he named Senators Wheeler of Montana, Burke of Nebraska and OMahoney of Wyoming as Sena- tors who might be tagged out. All were Court bill opponents. Admin istration spokesmen sort of dis avowed that Guffey- speech, how ever, saying the Pennsylvanian got excited, or something.
 MIR. FARLEYS TRIP
 In October MT. Farley found him. i self in local situation. The Nation al Association of Postmasters was meeting in San Francisco. Farley went there. But on the way he zig ragged from one side of California to the other, scarcely missing a county, making good will'' speeches At each stop he talked about ''gooc William Gibbs McAdoo," whose Sen ate term ends this year.
 Newspaper and other reports from California indicate McAdoo may have a fight on his hands for 6 second term.
 Most recent so-called participa- ton by the Administration in z local political situation was in tht case of Representative Disney O. Oklahoma, who has been suggested as possible opponent of Democra, tic Senator Thomas of Oklahoms next fall Disney came from a con, ference with the President to stat, that he had been urged to run agair for the House on the grounds tha he was especially valuable as { member of the Ways and Mean. Committee, which writes tax bills. IS IT OR ANT IT?
 Foremost participation" was il behalf of Senator Barkley of Ken lucky, the majority leader.

Alaska" by Lester D. Henderson,
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-01-17

that is "an injury to the soft parts, 1t might be fragments or muscles" Dr. Farrell who examined the claimant in August 1885 found at that time "a lumbo-sacral sprain and the right sacro-iliac sprain," and neurasthenia possibly" of traumatic origin. He characterized the back strain as "severe."
 Dr. Pyle called by the respond ent examined the claimant in March, 1886, testified in his opin- ion the claimant was not serious ly or permanently injured in Mo- vember 1884, and that he had symptoms of traumatic neurosis at the time of the examination.
 From the evidence the commits sioner could have found as he did that the extent of the claimants injury, resulting from the accident, was mild back strain from which he fully recovered and any neu- rasthenia appearing in the later examinations was not attributable to that injury.
 No correction of the Finding to which the claimant was entitled would affect the commissioners conclusion.
 The case is peculiarly one in which the decision should be left to the trier. All the medical ex- pertS in the case agree that the recurrence or continuance of such sacro-iliac strain is determined by subjective symptoms. Hence the credibility of the claimant is of utmost importance. A tram script of his testimony which has been carefully read throws but 8 cold light on this. The commits sioner has seen and heard the claimant in the flesh and has nec- eSsarily passed upon the truth or existence of those subjective syrnp- toms. He has found that the claimant was fully recovered at the time he returned to his en- ployment.
 The case then, does not turn upon medical testimony alone, but upon that plus the truth of the hypotheses upon which that testi- mony was based.
 While the doctors may and in some instances have given their opinions as to the truth of the subjective symptoms, ultimately this was a question for the com- missioner and he has decided it adversely to the claimant. His judgment is conclusive on this point. The appeal is dismissed.

 Judge.

 early rumors for the supreme court place to which MT. Roosevelt named Reed.
 Should the senate speedily con- firm Reeds nomina tion, as was ex- pected, his next court appearance probably will be when he goes to the bench to be sworn to fill the post now held by Sutherland.
 Unless delay :n confirmation de- velops, this ceremony likely will take place two weeks from today. The court recesses after today's session until January 31.
 Sutherland marked his last day on the bench by delivering the courts opinion in tax case involving the Minnesota Tea Go. His opinion gave a victory to the government in a fight to force the tea company to pay income taxes on $106,471 diStrib- uted to the company's stockholders when the firm was sold to the Grand Union company in 1928.
 Under the 1928 transfer of tea com pany assets to the Grand Union Co.,, the former company received stock of the latter as well as $426,842 in cash. The money immediately was distributed to Minnesota Tea stock holders.
 Today's decision upheld the gov- ernment contention.

Present Status Of This City Warrants No Grand Jury Probes

Failing to find need of a grand jury indicated by circumstances currently undenr agitation in Con- troller Sherwood L. Rowlands off, flee. States Attorney Lawrence l.. Lewis today conveyed to Mayor Frank Hayes the recommendation that an impartial audit" be made of the city's financial affairs. The states attorney nominated" the concern of Griffenhagen & Asso- ciates, It., however, the firm which made the charter commis- sion Investigation several years ago, thereby running counter to a present consideration supported by Controller Rowland for "an audit under direction of Commissioner John H. Goss of the finance board"
 Mayor Hayes will present the states attorneys communication to the board of finance at 4 o. clock, which is as follows:
 This office is in receipt of copies of letters, both dated January IA, 1888, with appended memoranda, addressed to the Mayor of the City of Waterbury by the Comp troller of the City of Waterbury, copies of which appeared in the Sunday Republican of January 16, 1888. In addition, request has been made by a committee repre- senting an association described as the Citizens Good Government Association of Waterbury that this office cause to be instituted a Grand Jury investigation to de- termine what, if any, violation of the criminal laws of this State may have been committed in the administration of the financial affairs of the City of Waterbury during the fiscal years 1886 to 1887, inclusive, and, further, that this office thereupon institute such prosecution as may be justified by the facts as they are found.
 Therefore, 8 public statement from this office is in order.
 No Immediate Need
 OpOu tHc UdShS VI dAl AAIUELu6- = ton available at this time, it is not considered that the immediate summoning of a Grand Jury would be necessary or helpful Investi- gatiOn under our practice by a Grand Jury is cumbersome and expensive and should not be re- sorted to unless and until the as- certainment of facts is possible in no other way. Thus far all dis closures with reference to claim ed irregularities and impropriety in the administration of the finan- cial affairs of the City of Water- bury relate to various charter vio- latioi;s, the expenditure of city money, the receipt of city money in such amounts and under such circumstances as to create sus- piciOn of wrong doing In the pub lie mind; and the fact that some important records of the payment of public money have not beeli delivered to the Comptroller as required by law, and that other similar records nave been deliver ed to him in an incomplete con- ditiOn.

was all right, feeling very good and ready to return to duty; that at the time of his first examina- tion he found a confusion of muscle in the sacro-iliac region; of the left ankle, and a laceration of the left hand.
 Upon croSS-exam1nation this doctor testified that there was "a possibility" that the strain would reoccur and that such strains "do reoccur'', that 1t is pretty hard to say if they had occurred because it was mostly subjective symp- tomS."
 Evidence was offered that from December 7th on to the time the claimant left the fire department he made no request for medical treatment. pr. Kirschbaum, called by the respondent, testified to an examination of the patient made July 30, 1886, and that his condi- tion at that time could not be at- tributed to the injury of 1884, and his symptoms at that time were purely subjective"
 The claimants doctors, Lawlor, and Farrel, like Dr. Kirsch- baum, examined the claimant some time after his injury. Dr. Lawlor agrees with Dr. Kirsch- baum that symptoms of a back strain are largely subjective and gives it as his opinion that at the time of the examinations the claimant had flow back strain"

 Thus far the state has paid ap- proximately $6,O0O,O0O for land for the $20,000,000 highway.
 Macdonald Has No Comment
 Macdonald said he had absolute ly no comment to make on the at- torney generals statement.
 The report, he said, was "pre- pared by my office" and delivered to the governor in the ordinary course of business.
 He added it concerned only the Merritt Parkway and made no men, tion of the report of Public Works Director Robert A. Hurley which severely criticized the operations and general policies of the highway di- viSon.
 A third report concerning the parkway was nearing rompletion to- day and will soon be in the hands of the governor. It was being pro- pared by Controller Charles c. SWartz. will itemize each transaction and give a comparative schedule of assessed values of the lands and the purchase prices.
 Held for Grand Jury
 It was intimated today that all information now received at the capital regarding the parkway would be held for the exclusive considera- tion of the grand jury whihc will determine whether any irregnlari- ties were associated with the park way deals.
 Principal witnesses before the jsry were expected to be G. Leroy Kemp, Darien, former Republican legisla- tor and appraiser for the highway department; Highway Commissions. Macdonald; firms and individuals involved in the purchases, and a number of state officials indirectly connected with the handling of documents and checks.
 The governor has promised a further investiga ton" into the re- port of Hurley as regards his recom- mendations for revamping the high way agency. The executive said he felt that many of the suggestions were in need of further study.

tion contained in the letters re- ferred to seem to indicate that charter provisions aid perhaps also other laws of the State have been ignored or violated by pub lie officials. Citizenship implies civil responsibility to enforce the obligations Of every public trust. Laws are made to be enforced, not to be ignored.
 Probe Indicated
 It seems clear, therefore, that an investigation conducted by this office is indicated.
 A search for the missing records and the makiI;g of a complete, thorough and impartial audit by accountants specializing in the field of municipal finance, cover ing the Comptroller's accounts for the fiscal years 1886 to 1887, i'm elusive, are the first steps neces- Sary in any orderly investigation of aI;y possible criminal aspects inherent in the situation and equally necessary for the protec- ton of all concerned.
 Upon completion of such an audit this office will then decide whether Grand Jury inquiry or some other type of criminal in- vestigatiOi; is the more efficient means of detecting and effecting the apprehension of such persons, If any, as may be punishable un- der the criminal laws of this state.
 City Should Pay
 Because the accounts in question are entirely concerned with the money and affairs of the City of Waterbury, and because the citi- zenS and taxpayers of the City of Waterbury have primary interest in having these accounts audited, it seems proper that the expeHse of such an audit should be borne by the City of Waterbury.
 Il;aSmuch as the audit should be fearless and impartial and must serve also as the first step in an investigation designed to deter mine whether the criminal laws of this State have been violated, it is considered that the selection; of the accounting firm who shall conduct the audit should be made by this office.
 Griffenhagen Picked
 After giving considerable thought to all of the factors in- volved in these questions this office has decided that the firm of Griffenhagen and Associates, Ltd, by virtue of it's past wide exper- fence in the field of municipal ac- counting in general, and it's ex- perience of e,ght years ago in thoroughly auditing the accounts of the City of Waterbury in par ticular, is peculiarly fitted to con- duct the complete and impartial audit required by the existing cir cumstances.
 In the event that the respon- sible authorities of the City of Waterbury shall not elect to em- ploy the accounting firm above specified for tIsc purpose of audit ing the financial books and ac- counts of tke City of Waterbury at the expense of the City of Wa
