CONTINUED from First Page)
able means to adjust DISPUTES be
tween labor and industry"
The party promises further to un
remittingly strive to promote thu
welfare of labor on a Sound anC
lasting basis by eliminating all I'M
American doctrines"
Waste OF Funds Charged
The platform charges the New
Deal has plunged the State and ma
ton into uncertainty with waste Of
funds while 100000 are still I'M
employed.
On relief, the platform points to
accomplishments of Republican ad-
ministrations in aiding the needy
and ill. 1t cites expenditures of the
New Castle County Levy Court and
the Mayor and Council of Whining
ton, both Republican IN major per-
sonnet, toward this end. 1t also
criticizes the Democratic State adj
ministration for failing to take
timely action" in the emergency in
Wilmington last winter.
The party commits itself to strive
to afford the opportunity for work
at a saving wage for all who are
willing and able to work. 1t prom
Uses to meet emergencies resulting
from unemployment.
Reviewing social security and old
age welfare, the platform stresses
that Delaware under a Republican
administration was a pioneer in So
cial legislation" Expressing sympa-
thy with any legislation which pro-
vides a greater measure of security
for wage earners, 1t attacks the
present operation of the social Sc
curity act by the New Deal.
Pension Law Revision
One plank pledges the party to
work continuance of the principle
of social security on an economical
ly sound basis; for the principle
that money collected by taxation
from the employer and employee
constitutes a trust fund for the
benefit employee and aged and shall
be earmarked for that purpose.
The platform recommends a revis-
ion of the old age pension laws so
as to make all aged persons above
a given age eligible for benefits
Tax Cuts Advocated
"a gradual reduction of all taxes
and of certain classes of license fees,
including a reduction of the fee for
drivers licenses and for the registra-
ton of motor vehicles TO an amount
in keeping with the actual coz. 81
the administration of the motor We
hicle law in this respect, and the
abolition of the existing State dog
taxes, was advocated. This, the plat
form holds. can be made possible by
a return to the sound economic pol
icies of former Republican State adj
ministrations.
Other subjects of the platform are
Freedom of religion. health and
medicine. youth and government
taxes and economy, education. fed
eraI licensing bill, highways. agri-
culture and drainage. liquor control.
equal rights for women. veterans
minor judiciary, negro
ritizens. business and industry, and

COP LEADERSHIP
 MAY BE DECIDED
State Forces Will Caucus Tuesday -, Waterbury
 Events Have Split Party

Hartford, Conn, Aug. 22.-(UP- Leadership of the Connecticut Re- publican party may be decided to- morrow when registered party mem- bers caucus throughout the state. Of chief interest was the battle in New Haven county's ninth senatorial dis trict, where Clarence G. Willard, former secretary of the state ven- tral committee, sought reelection as a member of the committee. He was opposed by Harry B. Kennedy. Willard recently relinquished his secretary ship under pressure be- cause of his connection with grand Jury investigations at Bridgeport and Waterbury.
 The caucuses were expected to produce an indication whether party members desired leadership by a fac tion headed by National Committee man Samuel F. Pryor, Jr., Green Wich, and State Senator J. Kenneth Bradley, Westport. Charles William son, Darien, committee member from the 18th district, arrested in the Waterbury grand jury situation, was not a candidate for reelection. Maj. John Buckley, Union, member of the 35th district and mentioned in the Waterbury jury report, re- rently resigned. Delegates to the state convention at New Haven, September IS and 16;-will be selected at the caucuses, as well as delegates to the county, congressional and To- cal conventions.

HOWARD SCOTT
 FINDING COMING
Deputy Coroner Hennes= sey to Render Decision
 in Few Days

A finding in the death of Howard R. Scott, 36. of 89 Sheffield street, who was fatally wounded at his l..ome Aug. II, will be issued within a few days by Deputy Coroner Will liam B. Hennessey. The finding is now in the process of preparation.
 Held as coroner's prisoner is Mrs. Thursa Grant Scott, 25, who police said confessed to firing the shot that caused her husbands S death. Mrs. Scott made the admis- sion Thursday, after a week of de- nials.
 Mrs. Scott said she shot her hus- band' after they had struggled for a gun which he had secured from the attic of their home. He got the gun, she said, after they had been engaged in sharp quarrel Wednes- day night.
 Mrs. Scott first claimed her hus- band had fallen against the kitchen stove, then later contended that he must have committed suicide.

|: That the Peoples Primary Bal lot" is definitely aimed at the new rule district and town committee set-up as allegedly devised by Repub- licah Registrar of Voters Albert O. Taller.
 2: That leadership of Town Chair man J. Warren Upson is attacked in the instance of his collaboration and support of Taller and for throwing out of four district lists submitted by the Peoples Ballot.
 3: That court action, seeking tn- junction against Chairman Upson had failed to materialize at noon to- day thus indicating that the prima- ries will be held on schedule tomor- row.
 4: That numerous of the dele gates," as listed, were unaware that they had been selected to serve some calling The Democrat to re- quest omission of their names which is a matter for the opposing Repub- lican organizations solely.
 Upson Claims Rules Compel
 Chairman Upson told The Demo- crat today that his action in throw ing out four lists from districts 1-6, 2-5, 4-3, and 5-5 followed study of a situation which found identical names on the opposing petitions The Republican party rules pro- vide that Is electors must sign such petitions supporting delegates m each of the districts.
 T noted the time of presentation of the lists when they were sub- mitted, Chairman Upscn said. While I don't like to d enfran- chise any elector the paS.y rules gave me no choice. Due to dupli- cations of names on each of the lists 1t was a question of whether to diSqualify both lists or choose the one which was presented to me first. I chose the latter course"

 The dead were Patricia, 2, Elean- or, 2, and the nurse, Mrs. Timothy Dooling of South Lawrence. Doc tors ascribed the deaths of Mrs. Dooling and Eleanor to streptococ- GUS and other bacilli. They were un- able to account for Patricia's death, but said they were certain it was not streptococcus.
 Cultures from the girls throat were sent to Boston City hospital and Medical-Examiner Timothy Leary of Suffolk county. Though they were proved not streptococcus, they could not be identified.
