West Hartford, and there are foot baths which all bathers are required to use. Time for children bathing there is restricted because bodily temperatures of youngsters is less ened if they stay in too long. There are several instructors in West Hartford and classes are given for the children. A total of 100 days is the usual swimming season there.
 There are many pools constructed by WPA in the country, he contin- ued, the average being about 400 for year, he said, in East Hartford WPA pool has been approved and the committee here will get a copy of the proposal tomorrow for that city to study it.
 Several Ways to Get Funds
 MT. Brophy stressed the taLc the committee does not want to increase the burden on local taxpayers and does not feel they should be asked to maintain 1t. There are several ways to raise the necessary money and these will be revealed later. If the government is going to be more liberal with WPA funds now, under the new pump-priming plan, it is possible the town will be able to get more from the government than has been the custom recently. In West Hartford the government paid for the Altering plant which is the main expenditure necessary. The pool it. self does not cost as much. MT. Brophy did not state how much the pool and essentials would cost here but said it would run into consider able money. He will announce this later.
 He pointed out that Recreation field has city water, sanitary sewer and there are not many houses nearby. A pool is often noisy spot, he explained.
 Much Cooperation
 He pointed out the money for the pool here would not be spent for any selfish purposes but would be for the benefit of every child here. q believe Naugatuck should be the same as most other com- munities, it should find ways so that its children should have protection in swimming, that is in sanitation and otherwise, which they do not have now" He said that he has re- ceived cooperation In the matter not only from members of the commit tee in charge but from many other prominent citizens here.
 Warden Sheridan commented that it would be better as WPA project than as PWA because there would be more opportunity for local work CTS to be employed regularly on 1t.
 Burgess Brophy explained that if the government would help, there will be no restriction about securing mechanics on relief, that is if a mechanic on relief is not available, another not necessarily on relief. may be secured.

quest of $5,000 which is done under the budget adopted. The welfare de- partment asked $65,000 and was granted $60,000. The only otker de- partment request which was cut was that of the fire department which comes under the public safety division. This department requested $32, ,775.13 which did not include a $14,000 request for a heck and lad der truck. The appropriation for the fire department was cut to $30,- 992.93.
 Following is the appropriations for last year, the amount spent and the appropriations for this year: Gen. eral administration, $108,610.17 ap- propriated; last year, $105, 5,710.10 $121, ,15774 appropriated for new fis- cal year; public saftey, $69,583.90 appropriated last year; $69,491.11 spent; $68,702.45 appropriated this year.

 The budget this year is $18,090 more than last year. for which the total was $526,621.83. This includes $15, 1000 for a payment on refund- ing bond due next February. This is included in the general admins tration appropriation. Without this the appropriation for that depart ment would be $106,1577 which is more than $400 less than was appro- priated last year, but is $400 higher than what was spent last year.

 Hendaye, French-Spanish From tier, April 15.-(UP)-The Spanish Loyalists, abandoning hope of stop ping the Nationalist drive to the eastern seacoast, evacuated Vinaroz today.
 Gen. Miguel Aranda, commanding the Nationalist army in the sector, invited newspaper correspondents accompanying him to lunch this af- ternoon in Vinaroz, famous for cen- turies for its sea food.
 A dispatch from Barcelona dis closed that the grand headquarters of international brigade had been transferred from Albacete. south west of Valencia, to somewhere in Catalonia"
 This, with laconic dispatch that army headquarters in southern areas" were being evacuated, was taken to mean that the Loyalists in- tended to concentrate their defenses in the Catalonian and Madrid areas for the final phase of the war which ends its Fist month Sunday.
 The Nationalists had at their mercy the coastal road which con- meets Barcelona with Valencia. Un- der full moon, looking down from the hills to the glittering Mediter- ranean, the Nationalist advanced troops last night made their final preparations for a drive on Vinaroz and Benicarlo, five miles to the south.

 MT. Raytkwich was the only one who expressed opposition to the ad- ministration budget. He said he did not oppose the total as later ap- proved, but did feel that possibly $2,00O might be cut of the general administration division and said he thought this would be safer than slicing the welfare department re-

 It felt the assessment made against the property by the asses sors was too high. The assessment was $5,115 for the land and $19,400 for the two and one-half story frame building, which has IA rooms and is occupied as a one-fami)y home. The bank appealed to the local board of relief which upheld the assessors figures.
 Now the bank is taking the mat ter to the superior court in Water bury and the action is returnable on the first Tuesday in May.
 The borough board voted to hold regular meetings at p. m., stand ard time. during the daylight saving time session Instead of 8 o'clock, standard time. New officers for the Naugatuck Hose, Hook and Ladder association were approved.
 The condition of Walter Widze- wicz 18 of Brennan street who was severely injured yesterday by a fall from part of the Curtis building on Prospect street, was reported fair at St. Mary's hospital this morning although Dr. Edwin Curran who treated the youth yesterday after noon said he thought the youth would be on the danger list.
 Dr. Curran said Widzewicz was "chinning" himself an a pipe on the building and fell, apparently strik- ing the pipeHe suffered pune tured lung, two fractured ribs and a bad lacertion, the doctor said.
 The young man was rushed to the hospital in the community ambulance after treatment by Dr. Curran.

Spanish Loyalists Losing Hope To Stop Nationalists

They were less than days march from one of their most important victories of the war. The Loyalist defense, all dispatches indicated, was shattered. Barcelona admitted that Nationalist airplaneS dropped leaflets over coastal towns announc- ing to civilians that Easetr Sunday mass would be celebrated on the seacoast. From the Nationalist side, observers at advanced posts report ed that disorganization of the Loy- alists seemed complete and that they sought merely to retreat without being trapped.
 The Nationalist Salamanca radio announced that Generalissimo Fran cisco Franco, Nationalist chieftain, would make a most important radio speech next Tuesday, directed to all the people of Spain, on the first anniversary of his call to the poli- tical factions on the Nationalist side to unite for victory. Lour speakers were ordered installed in public squares throughout Nationalist ter ritory.
 There seemed no shadow of doubt in dispatches either from the Ma tionalist side nor from the Loyalist side, that the Nationalists would en- ter Vinaroz or Benicarlo, perhaps both, within "A hours. Apparently there was nothing to stop them ex- cept for the units in the hills, now fighting mere rear guard actions, it was indicated.

By the Associated Press.
SAN QUENTIN, Calf, Dec. l.
Warden Court Smith, who has no
liking for any kind of capital pun
tshment, directed a dress rehearsal
for death in San Quentin prisons
new lethal gas chamber yesterday
and came away pale and trembling.
Hanging is bad enough-but this
its terrible" he said.
The warden must supervise the
death Friday of two men convicted
of murder, Albert Kessel and Robert
Lee Cannon. the first men con-
demned to die by gas in California.
The old method was by hanging.
MY principal objection is that it
will take too much time to carry
out the death warrant" said War
den Smith. Il don't mean the time
required after the men are locked
in the chamber. The thing will end
pretty fast after that.
But even condemned men who
have nerved themselves for their
entrance into the chamber can be
unnerved by the time required to get
them ready for it."
Because some 60 spectators will at
tend, and there is room for only II
at the rail before the glass windows
of the chamber, Warden Smith has
built two stepped-up rows to form
E theater for the killings.
