TIPPING CONTEST
 TOOPEN JUNE 2l
Thousand Boys and Girls Entered in Chicago
 Competition

More than one thousand boys and girls from the nations secondary schools, business colleges, and uni versailles will pound away for new records in typing and other fields, when they meet on June 21 and g at the Hotel Sherman in Chicago for the sixth annual international commercial schools contest, official speed competitions in the business machine field.
 Chief interest this year will center in the return of Lenore Fenton, former Washington State university girl, who last year set a record of 87 words a minute in the dictating machine contest - the fastest tran- scription ever achieved in any me- dium. Miss Fenton this year will compete in a special class for which local contests are already being held. This contest is seeking the fastest dictaphone secretary in American business, and entrants will come from many of Americas leading business organizations. It is the first such contest to draw en- trants nationally from the field of business.
 The two-day grueiing competition will mark the culmination of months of work on the part of many of these young typists, dictaphone op- orators, and machine calculatorS, and shorthand writers.
 Other contestants will compete in three classes, based on the amount of instruction they have received in the competing subject. The inter- national commercial schools contest is staged by group of leading edu- cators in the field of commercial educati ton. Included among them are w. c. Maxwell, chairman, Hins- dale high school, Hinsdale, H.. and Marion Tedens, of the board of edu- cation, Chicago, III.

Chairman Declares
 No Official Action
 Contemplated Here
Current Reports Indicate Replacement of Vice-Chair man of Local Committee e-Reducing Committee
 Representatives Unpopular

Nipped in bloom today was a widespread report that immediate changes of personnel and officers of the Republican Town Committee impend.
 Nothing to 1t" was the comment of Town chairman J. Warren Upson, who explained that such changes cannot be made until August" when the primaries are held to choose a new town committee and delegates to the state convention.
 Rumor was to the effect that Mrs. Rowley w. Phillips would replace Mrs. Frederick J. Palomba as vice. chairman: that various of the pres ent members would fight over the new rules whereby the membership of women members is increased from five to nine.
 Controversy Feared
 Chairman Upson, remarking that he had no way of telling what the personnel of the new town commit tee may be, offered prediction that the plan would work out harmoni- ously". Of course, the change from 20 members to 18, by the recently adopted rules whereby the 32 dis tricts have been apportioned into semblance of the old ward system, already has created some contro- versy among groups with design to further representation on the com- mittee. There has been criticism of the plan whereby the officers vote with the IS members on the grounds that the system does not give adequate representation to numerous groups.
 That there will be many changes when the new town committee is finally chosen was agreed today. But that Mrs. Phillips would take place as officer of an organization which sees her brother-in-law, Francis T. Phillips as treasurer, was discounted as not in keeping with political acu- men.
 That Mrs. Palomba, wife of the
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-06-14

former town chairman of the town committee, might be replaced was considered likely. In fact, nucleus of the reported changes is the office of Mrs. Palomba the vice-chairman- ship.
 Curtailment Unpopular
 After years of striving for smaller districts, the Republican organiza- ton reportedly has lost popularity by the plan generally accredited to Republican Registrar of Voters AL bert O. Faller whereby the town committee does not follow the dis trict enlargement pattern. Various racial groups have expressed dis content over the curtailment, rather than increase of personnel of the committee, in line with the 2O-to- 32 voting district enlargement. But the leaders do not feel that recent defections will result in gen. eral party welfare around August 10, or whereabouts. By that time, of course, the picture of local politics will have become less obscure if the extraordinary grand jury follows through to the limit the started in- vestigation.
 Reasons for changes in personnel of officers, party expenses, including payments by packers in several deals, may have part in clearing the pattern by which the new committee will be chosen, it is agreed by those familiar with past campaigns.

salaries in the registrars ofiice, to pay costs of 8 canvass of all voters At this point Alderman Kelly re- marked that he was "very much in favor of the canvass" but that he didn't feel that the aldermen should tell the board of finance how to make such transfers, from which funds in the registrars ofl1ce.
 8-7 Vote 7
 Alderman Kingston remarked that he had already spoken to the regis- trars." M
 Kelly: It should be up to the board of finance to determine the items from which transfers can be made.
 Kingston: It was before the board of finance and they took no action on it.
 Eventually, the Republican motion to have the board of finance recon- mend the transfers as cited was passed, 8-7.
 Thus, the board of finance will have session on election matters Thursday, the consideration of vot- ing machines for g districts, the canvass of voters. Inasmuch as the registrars have indicated that the 60 machines now owned by the city will be inadequate and the aldermen have asked that the board of financa devise how the present machines shall be used, the board of finance session will be filled with problems.

Record Fines! Youngsters to Pay Levies of 25, 50 Cents on Week.
 ly Installments

Two little colored lads, who broke into the Bishop street school to retrieve firecracker pistol which had been taken away from them by the teacher, were fined 25 and 50 cents respectively by Judge Edward Mascolo in juvenile court today.
 One of the pair, who is seven years old, will pay his 25 cent fine in one-cent a week install ments. The other, who is nine, will pay his 50-cent fine in in- stallments of a nickel week.
 The youngsters entered the school Sunday, after the smaller of the pair had thrown a stone through the window. After secur- ing the gun from the teachers desk, the lads then took a tri- cycle, a wagon, a ball, a whistle and two hammers. The articles were all recovered by Lieut.. Mat thew Balanda.
 In addition to making weekly payments on their fines, the youngsters were also instructed to write down each night what they had done during the day. These reports are then to be given to Judge Mascolo.

Democrats In Accord
 On Districting Plan
Favor B Voting Sections, But Question G. O. P. Pros
 Cedure on New Voting Machines

The board of aldermen and the board of finance tangled last night by remote control. First, the board of finance, acting on motion of Com- missioner John H. Goss, sent to the aldermen message asking why the aldermen had incurred the need for new voting machines after the bud- get was set up last fall.
 Back to Board
 To this, Alderman c. Arthur Du- Bois retorted that the finance board should be informed that the alder men had not sought increased ex- penditures in connection with the creation of 32 voting districts, where before there were 20 such districts. The question was how to provide for purchase or rental of 10 new voting machines so that the districting plans of the Republican organization should not have been in vain. The finance board will hear from the al- dermen at its Thursday meeting and the matter of the enlarged district ing and the provision for machines will be back with the city's financial commission, by unanimous vote of the aldermen.
 I'm heartily in accord with hav- ing 32 voting districts" remarked Democratic Aldermanic Leader Thomas P. Kelly, after Alderman Dubois had moved that the finance board be instructed to arrange af- fairs so that the voting equipment might serve the 32 districts. But l don't see how the coming election can be operated with the present equipment. Proper procedure, it seems to me, would be to have the registrars of voters report on the number of machines required to serve the electors in the respective districts. Then the registrar can re.

port on the necessities and the board can request the board of finance to make the proper recommendations. 1"
 Accepts Amendment
 Alderman Dubois accepted the amendment as the latter portion of his motion but the message to the board of finance relating to the al- dermanic denial of responsibility for mourning illegal expense stood.
 A bit later the proposition of a canvass of voters, sought by the registrars through the finance board where transfer of appropriations in the registrars office is pending, met with similar treatment, almost.
 Republican Aldermanic Leader George L. Kingston moved that a new item be set up in the budget, providing for the transfer of $500 under office supplies, and $500 from
