town committee unanimously voted that the rules of the Republican party should be changed so as there would be a town committee man in each district. Now that there are 32 districts instead of 20 in Waterbury and voted that the town chairman would present their recommendation to the town convention.
 Upson, Taller
 "Mr. Upson single-handed opposed the town committee on their change of rules in the Republican party and presented a plan which he call ed his own but which is believed by great many Republicans and the Republican town committee to be the brain child of the registrar of voters, Albert Taller.
 'Mr. Upson presented the recom- mendaUion of the town committee to the convention but added to the rec ommendation that he proposed it and presented his own, or as some think, Mr. Faller's plan. He was severely criticized by the Young Re- publicans in attendance at their meeting for his manner in adding to the town committees recom- mendations.
 "The club members, after due deliberation of the advice of several members, decided not to pass the motion at this time regardless whether they felt that the motion was justified. They decided that the town committee should take it up.
 "At no time during the meeting was motion passed praising Mr. Upson's activities nor at any time was there any attempt made to oust him in favor of John Bergin.
 "The only other motion presented to the club was also presented by John McHugh which went on record as being passed, was pertaining to Controller Sherwood L. Rowland. The motion was that the Young Mems Republican club go on record as being opposed to some of the appointments made by Rowland in his office and his attitude in ignor- ing the chairman of the Republican town committee on appointments to Republican controlled office"

Chairman

but several took action as branch of the Republican party, to request that Upson resign as chairman un- less he agree to abide with a major ity vote of the town committee. The subject most discussed was the set- up of the town committee, which, under Upson will be reduced to 18 members instead of the present 20 but the four officers will be al- lowed to vote in addition. The Young Republicans, according to re- liable authority, desire a set-up sim liar to that adopted by the Demo- crats-32 town committee-men-one for each district.
 The set-up as proposed by Upson and Taller would divide the city into nine districts, with a man and 8 woman to be selected from each district, as committee. In addi- tjon to these IS, however, the of- ficers, Chairman Upson, vice-chair- man Mrs. Fred Palomba, Secretary Vernon Hall and Treasurer Francis Phillips would be allowed to vote.
 Confusion Expected
 Chief opposition of the Young Re- publicans is that under this Setup ward lines would be crossed and general muddle would result. Mem- bers of the town committee claim this had not been fully explained to them.
 Among those who spoke last Thursday night in opposition to the new town committee plan were: AL dernnan George Kingston, George Towles, William Curtis, Mortimer Calvin, Frank Varanelli, Miss Ger trude Keenan, Patrick Perriello, Harry Krasow, Walter Smethurst and Philip Bernstein.
 The Young Republicans also went on record as opposed to Controller Sherwood l.. Rowland and his poli- cy of ignoring Upson in making his appointments. He was severely crit icized for retaining James F. Purcell, and also for allowing the public to believe that he, personally, hired and paid William J. Armstrong for his services in the controllers of- flee. A reliable authority said that

Father Bonn and MT. Deeley are formerly of this city. Professor John L. Bonn of this city wrote the orig inal music in the Greek mode for the choruses, of which there were four.
 "Antigone" was given in com memoration of the diamond jubilee of Boston college and preceded com- mencement exercises which will take place in early June. The choral odes were sung by the Boston col- lege Alumni club, Amplifiers were installed on Alumni field and the voices were heard in all sections of the grandstand. The Greek stage was erected in the center. The en- tire production was planned by Father Bonn. He was assisted by other instructors at the college, Mrs. Allan Wheeler of Weston, as- sistant in choral execution, and Mrs. K. Van R. Dey, choreography and dance director. Mrs. Dey di- rects chorography at Wellesley col lege. Excellent acting and delivery distinguished the acting of all the characters, the largest part of Creon taken by John F. x. Gaquin, '39, whose performance was outstand- ing. "Antigone" marked the third major dramatic presentation by Father Bonn this year at the college.

Purcel's Retention Criticized by Young c. O. F. Club
Political Gangsters Assailed From Pulpit By Reu. Dr. Walker

"It looks as if we can say pretty much what we like about the politi- cal gangsters who have been oper- ating at the City Hall in Waterbury these last eight years and without any undue fear of exaggeration or libel suits," stated Rev. Dr. John c. Walker, pastor of the Second Con- gregational church in pulpit edi- torial he delivered at yesterday morning services.
 The editorial in full follows:
 I remember a story about public spirited newspaper man who dis covered evidence of bribery and cor ruption in his local City Hall. In bold headlines he printed the words, Half the City Council Are Crooks" !" He didn't happen to have a grand jury at his back and they threatened to sue him for libel. They forced him to retract. The next day he came out with the promised retrac- tion. Half the City Council Are Not Crooks"
 It looks as if we can say pretty much what we like about the politi- tical gangsters who have been oper- ating at the City Hall in Waterbury these last eight years and without any undue fear of exaggeration or libel suits. Whatever we say is like ly to be understatement. We seem to have as fine collection of candi- dates for the rouges gallery as you could find anywhere. They seem to have evolved as clever a combination of corruption, bribery, graft and conspiracy as one could imagine. They seem to have perfected sys- tenn whereby they could rob the hungry of their bread, the unem- ployed of their relief, the widows and orphans of their homes. In the darkest days of the last depression when the poor and needy were hun- gry these precious rascals lined their pockets with money stolen from the public welfare department. When the honest and decent citizens of Waterbury were selling their homes because they could not pay their taxes, some of our public officials apparently had difficulty in finding sufficient number of profitable in- vestments for their rapidly accum- ulating capital.
 Profitable Sidelines
 Personally do not feel that we have more than a part of the story so far. shall be interested to learn at later date about the graft from dope, gambling, prostitution, and various and sundry other rackets. It stretches my credulity too far to ask me to believe that all of those fine gentlemen whose pictures have ap- peared so prominently in the papers overlooked all of those profitable sidelines. Some may have been toe busy in carting off the taxpayers money by the bucketfull to trouble but I suspect that others were de- voting their time to collecting tht
