Many large Port land precincts had reported only few ballots counted.
 In the senatorial races, William E. Mahoney had a comfortable lead over U. s. Attorney Carl G. Donaugh for the Democratic nomination and Rufus c. Holman, state treasurer apparently had won the Republican nomination over former Senator Robert N. Stanfield. The race for the Republican gubernatroial nom- inaton was a runaway for Charles A. Sprague, Salem newspaper pub fisher, who had 3O,0OO votes to less than 10000 for Sam H. Brown farmer. closest of his six opponents In Portland, Martins campaign against labor union "racketeers' cost him the enmity of many mem- bers of both the Committee for h. dustrial Organization and the American Federation of Labor.

MAYOR M'LEVY IS
 AGAINST PROJECT

Bridgeport, Conn.,, May 2l--UP) Socialist Mayor Jasper McLevy who for two years has endeavored to obtain federal funds for a $6,- 5OO,0O0 low-rental housing project at East Bridgeport, was opposed to- day to U. s. housing regulations which he declared were "unreason- able" and tended to discourage the project.
 The regulations called for tax re- mission by the city and a ten per cent contribution by the munich pality toward the total cost.
 These restrictions, he declared would cost the city $125,o00 year necessitating increased taxation which would tend to retard i'm. provements by property owners. Int mayor also asserted the present set up placed the government in com petition With landlords.
 In his attack on the USHA stip. ulations, Mayor McLevy declared T am not saying this to discourag the project, but merely to show tn fallacy of what they are trying t force down our threats"

ASK
 CUT BE DELAYED
Ten Per Cent Slash Slated for June l-Request
 P0stpOnement

The Waterbury Teachers Associa- ton is seeking to have the 10 per cent wage reduction, recently or dered by Mayor Frank Hayes to go into effect June 1, delayed until September for its members. Teach CTS, who have been asked to sign waivers of their contract and accept the pay cut, are asking that they receive their, June checks in full and that the 10 per cent deductions be withheld until the beginning of the next school year.
 Also sought by the association is a change in the Board of Education rules regarding teachers. The rule objected to is one that provides that when a teacher is absent from work on the day before of after holiday or vacation she loses two days pay. Teachers contend that this rule is highly unfair.
 Pay Cut Affects All
 The pay cut affects all city en- ployes, with those under contract being asked to sign waivers. The teachers claim that when pay restoration was made after one of the depression cuts all city employees gained benefits in July, while they had to wait until September to benefit.
 A committee from the association has conferred with city officials relative to withholding the pay re- duction for teachers until the fall. Another committee has already vis- ited pr. Thomas J. Condon, super intendent of schools, and will also confer with members of the rules committee of the Board of Educa- tion.

While a small group of office seekers and those most concerned with the plums Of patronage spread reports today of contemplated &C., tion by the Republican aldermen re- lating to possible attempt to oust Mayor Frank Hayes at the Monday night meeting, most citizens of Wa terbury were prepared today to await findings of the court on al- legations of the grand jury report which concern the mayor.
 By propaganda tending to show how personnel of all city commis- sionS, appointments of employees and such would be affected by successful combination of two-thirds of the aldermanic board. the Republican organization opponents of the mayor and related movements sought to give birth to a move in behalf of electing Aldermanic President Pat rick M. Perriello to the mayoralty
 Hard to Carry Out
 Just how this could be effected with an alignment of eight Repub- licans. including President Perriello as against seven Democrats, with a two-thirdS vote necessary for fruition of such plan, was not ex- plained. That the Good Govern ment association will cooperate, but will plan no civil action against the mayor. was the commitment of Joseph E. Nelly, secretary of the group. according to Republican un-
