ONE NEW DEALER
 HAS TOUGH TIME
Senator Pope of Idaho Is Not Sure-TwO Others
 Are Almost Sure
(By United Pressl

A New Deal senator seeking re- nomination on the basis of his rec ord against conservative rival, was having a close battle today in re- turns from yesterdays primaries in four states, while two other New Deal senators seemed assured of re- nomination.
 In returns from the Idaho Demo- cratic primary, Sen. James P. Pope, loyal New Dealer, and Rep. D. Worth Clark, who ran as a "con- servative Democrat" alternated in the lead with only a few hundred votes separating them. It appeared likely that the issue would not be decided until the last precinct was in.
 In Ohio Sen. Robert J. Bulkley, for whom President Roosevelt spoke a friendly word, was apparently re- nominated over former Governor George White.
 Sen. Hattie w. Caraway was hav- ing 8 close race for renomination in Arkansas, but, on the basis of par tial returns, she was believed the victor over Rep. John Mcclellan.

MORE FINDINGS IN CITY ECONOMY
E. 0. Griffenhagen Meets Mayor Hayes to Make
 Another Report

Preliminary findings of Griffen- hagen & Associates in the matter of attaining further economies for Waterbury's municipal setup were reported today at a meeting attend- ed by E. O. Griffenhagen, partner in the firm, with Mayor Frank Hayes and members of the sub- committee of the board of finance.
 But no formal report will be made except at meetings of the board of finance and the survey of various departments, in cooperation with department heads, will con- tinue at similar special meetings such as that today. The session today started at 10 o'clock and was adjourned at noon until 2:30 O. clock when further consideration will be presented.
 Savings Possible
 Supt. of Police William J. Roacf, and Dr. Edward J. Godfrey, city health officer, were present for a brief time at the meeting this morn- ing, presumably in connection with the survey being made of their de- partments. It is known that the Griffenhagen staff has interested itself in how much savings are rep resented in both of these depart ments by progressive developments such as, for instance, the cutting ot insurance rates by the police de- partment's accident prevention work, by the lessening of prevalence of disease here through the health departments program.
 Present at the meeting were

 The train was still travelling at 8 slow rate of speed when 1t struck the pedestrian. Krashinski was hurled to one side and the train did not pass over him. He was walking toward the railroad station, having apparently walked along the tracks over the trestle which crosses Bank street.
 As Krashinski was walking along the tracks, on the embankment above the Cichetti gas station at Bank and Jackson streets, he saw the northbound train approach. He jumped back off the track. But meantime the southbound train, headed for Bridgeport. was also ap- preaching.
 Fireman Called to Him
 Charles Barry, fireman on the northbound train, shouted to Kra- shinski of the train approaching from the other direction, but the pedestrian apparently failed to hear him. He was struck by the cylin- ders on the engine of the south bound train.

CARROLL TELLS. HIS STORY ON MURDER CRIME Accused Former Deputy
 Sheriff Placed on Stand
 at Start of Defense WIFE, DAUGHTER TO TESTIFY IN BEHALF Carroll Says Again Lighter Found at Murder Scene Belonged to Him
BY JACK QUINN United Press COrrespOndent)

South Paris, Me-, August 10. (UP) Deposed Deputy Sheriff Francis M. Carroll, under soft-spoken cross-examination at his murder trial today, testified that he thought" Paul (Buddy) Dwyer must have had an accomplice in the staying of a country doctor.
 Young Dwyer, serving a life sen- tence for the crime, has accused Carroll of being the real slayer of Dr. James G. Littlefield.
 Pressed by Prosecutor Ralph M. Ingalls,, Carroll said:
 T thought that he (Dwyer) didn't do 1t alone."
 Carroll, a former Scoutmaster and church worker, appeared calm and confident as he testified for an hour and half at the morning ses- sion as his own first witness, most of the time under direct examina- ton.
 RapidFire Answers
 He answered questions in rapid fire fashion. He stood in the wit ness box, resting his hands on the rail. He was neatly dressed in a brown suit and his hair was slicked back.
 In the crowded spectators section sat his wife and shapely 17-year-old daughter, whose romance with Dwyer allegedly indirectly motivated the murder. Both were sworn as defense witnesses after defense

(U. P. White House Correspondent)
 Warm Springs. Ga., August 10. - (UP) President Roosevelt re- turned to his "other home" today prepared to restate the philosophy of the New Deal in the heat of the Georgia and South Carolina senator ial campaigns. The chief executive came here from Pensacola, Fla, where he disembarked last night from the cruiser Houston after an 1000 mile vacation cruise from the Pacific coast. With him he carried the rought drafts of two speeches he will deliver tomorrow, one at the University of Georgia in Athens, the other at Barnesville.
 May Shoot at George
 White House friends looked for MT. Roosevelt's verbal shafts to be aimed inferentially at Senator Wal ter F. George, anti-New Deal Demo- crat, seeking renomination in the September primaries. He is opposed by Lawrence Cap, 100 per cent New Dealer, and former Governor Eugene Talmadge, a well known enemy of the New Deal. George in- cured White House displeasure by

Up to Budget Bureau
WHILE this may suggest busi-
w ness is in for a lot of bust
ing, Mr.. Arnold believes it would
be only about one-fifth Of what
it should be. He limited in a
speech September 3 (and his
associates confirm the impress
sion) that he looks forward to
the happy day when he will have
about / 200 busters like the SEC.
His present force he regards as
"a corporaPs guard to police

How much he will get is up
to the Budget Bureau, the Presi-
dent and Congress, but there is
no indication that any official,
including Mr.. Arnold, will place
much emphasis publicly on the
subject right now. Business is
just catching its breath in a
breathing spell and might gasp
at startling apparitions.
Business spokesmen here say
it is not the numbers that mat

ingenuity. While they like him
personally, they say he is con-
stantly developing new ideas
about what a trust is, even with
a limited number of associate
thinkers. For instance, respect

It was understood that Presi-

NAMED a lively conversation sub
ject as the final business meeting
opened this morning. Among
those mentioned as strong posi-
bilitieS were William Brownrigg,
Michigan Civil Service personnel
director, and David Jennings, Mil
waukee County Civil Service Off
cial.
PLANS REVEALED
High point of the five-day Ses-
sion was reached during yeSter-
days discussion Of appeals proce-
dures, when Federal Civil Service
Commissioner Harry B. Mitchell
told Of plans being worked out
under provisions of the June 20
executive order, amending the
civil service rules, whereby con-
ciliation committees would be
formed in every Federal agency,
composed of an equal number Of
officials and employees.
Mitchell also said that in addi-
ton to such bodies in each office,
there probably will be a central
one, probably within the commits
sion, to handle grievances not
settled by the agency groups
sort Of final court Of appeals. The
new Council of Personal Admins
tration likely will supervise it.
Questioned as to whether an ap-
pellate body would have power to
force reinstatement of wrongfully
discharged workers, Mitchell said
no, added his doubt that even Con-
greSs could give such authority,
and indicated he felt it would be
unconstitutional. However, he said
that recent White House confer.
ences had indicated that the Presi-
dent, having such power, would
direct his subordinate agency heads
to carry out the mandate of cen.
trail appellate body.
SOUGHT FOR YEARS
A forceful and comprehensive
appeals machinery has been
sought for years by employe or.
ganizations. Under present rules,
employees can appeal only dis
elimination based on religion or
politics; after February it is ex-
pected any mistreatment can be
protested effectively.
At its annual banquet last night
the asSembly'S 500-odd delegates
heard Murray w. Latimer, Rail-
road Retirement Board chairman,
declare that adequate man-power,
adequate pay, reasonable pros
poets for promotion, outlawing Of
discrimination for racial or other
reasons, enlarged retirement and
social security benefits, and sta
bilization Of employment are nee
essary If America is to have an
effective Civil Service.
