 Years Work
 Commissioner Michael A. Connor anticipates that 1t will take about year for the file to be establish ed. A WPA project for the compil- ing of the file will be instituted. Once established, the record will be easy to keep up-to-date.
 Colonel Connor's comment on the file was "The file will give the de- partment an opportunity to check on drivers whose records are fautly, not only as protection to themselves, but to the general driving public, Where defects in operation become apaprent through minor infractions it will be possible to confer with these drivers and to assist them in correcting their faults.
 Commissioner Connor said that the file will be one of the very few in the nation.
 Three Groups
 It is tentatively planned to file the cards in three groups. The first will consist of those operators whose history is such to cause apprehen- sion concerning their driving habits the second would include those op. orators whose history indicates they are sliding into the danger zone; and the third would include those operators who are being checked to determine what disciplinary action should be taken with regard to their licenses.

yesterday, repeated the same propo- sition and seemed surprised when I told him that you and I would be the last people in the world to traf- fic in judicial appointments in order to satisfy the ambitions of one office seeker"
 Chandler's proposition was that Logan be appointed to the federal bench to create a senate vacancy to which Chandler could aspire without a primary campaign against Bark ley. Publication of the White House letter is as biting a rebuke as has been given any party man by the president since early in his admin istration when he objected to Dem- ocratic national committee members practitcing law in the capital.
 So far the president has in greater or less degree endorsed the renomi- nation candidates of Sen. Robert J. Bulkley, D., O., Barkley and Sen- Elmer Thomas, D., Okla. General belief that he will carry on the cru sade on returning to the east coast already has led Sen. William H.. King, D., Utah, and several other Democrats, somewhat cool to the New Deal, to offer to enter Georgia to aid the renomination candidacy of Sen. Walter F. George
 Just before leaving Washington the president accepted speaeking engagement in Georgia on his re- turn from his fishing vacation. That he will make it the occasion to boost U. s. District Attorney Lawrence Camp, who is running against George, seems now to be likely. Camp was one of the group which extended the invitation to speak.

FATHER LYNCH
 MARKS JUBILEE
Native Waterburian Or- dained 25 Years Ago;
 Many at Mass Here

Rev. Thomas F. Lynch, a native of this city, now pastor of St. Johns church, Montville, Conn, yesterday celebrated the 25th anni- versary of his ordination by singing a solemn high mass at the Blessed Sacrament church in Waterbury. Rev. Edward L. Morrison, pastor of the church, and a close friend of the celebrant preached the sermon and acted as deacon. Rev. Francis Barrett was sub-deacon.
 The main altar of the church was attractively decorated with red ros- es and palms for the occasion. The Blessed Sacrament choir under the leadership of Miss Jane E. Barrett sang the music for the mass. Many relatives of Father Lynch from this city and from out of town attended the mass and later joined the cele- brant and attending priests at luncheon at The Elton.
 Father Lynch was born in Wa terbury and is brother of James M. Lynch, Daniel w. Lynch and Peter B. Lynch of this city, and of Patrick J. Lynch of New London. A sister of the celebrant, Sister Mar garet Dolores, and a niece, Sister Mary Edwin, were present at the mass.
 Father Lynch attended St. Thom- as Seminary at Hartford and con- pleted his theological education at the University of Louvain. He was ordained in Belgium July 13, 1913. During tlie World War he was Chaplain in the United States Army and served for sometime at the front and with the army of occu- patton. After serving as curate in several parishes of the diocese, Father Lynch was named pastor of the church at New Hartford and was later named pastor of the church at Montville, Conn, where he is now stationed.
 The members of his parish and various civic organiza tions have planned testimonial dinner for Father Lynch, which is to be held at Montville on Wednesday.
 The luncheon at The Elton was attended by the priests who off, ciated at the mass and about sixty members of the celebrant's family. In addition to local people rela- tives from New London, Hartford, South NorWalk, Bridgeport, Mt. Carmel, Boston, Mass Castleton, N. Y, New York city and Washington, D. c. were among those present ocrats, and a number of leaders from other counties are expected to attend the affair.

 The governor himself will be the only speaker at the dinner, re- striction which will shut off any po- litical boomlets possible in the situ- ation. Entertainment and dancing will follow the governors remarks.

Humidity! Temperature Officially Recorded At S5 -| Unofficial R e cords
 Set Mark at 95 Plus.

Sticky weather and the most intensive humidity of the season pervaded Waterbury today as the temperature continued in the high range but, at noon today, failed to supercede the 86-degree mark yesterday.
 Thermometers in various sec- tions of the city registered un- official 94's, 95's, o6's. And then, as one o'clock rolled around, the skies became overcast and office workers chanted a popular hit, Tt Looks Like Rain" Fans buzzed and the sweltering workers sought relief nearby. Cold luncheons were the order of the day and various keepers remarked that re- covery has come around the cor ner.
 But 1t remained HOT-hot and HUMID. And those who expect to take vacations at the end of the week kept eyes on the calen- dar as if, thereby, to move the numerals forward.
 Those who had returned suf- fered silently, recalling cool breezes of Maine beaches, cruises and almost cold nights.
 Officially, that is, by the ther- mometer at the office of the city plumbing inspector and the gauge on City Hall roof, 1t really wasn't so warm, only 85 degrees at noon. Citizens in passing, however, scof- fed at the figure and, with feel ing, remarked:
 "If that is the case, then 1t must be under 100 degrees down in the hot place. Get away with you. It's 95 degrees or nothing"

New York, July 11-By now you must be inured to the amazing Flat Foot Floogie with the Floy Floy" which masquerades as song although any swing musician will tell you that it is "hot lick" whose origin is lost in the birth of jazz.
 "Flat Foot" in its present form was devised by Slim and Slaw, two negro musicians who tried it on radio program on small station and found that its catchiness pleased listeners. Its development mot a complet enumber followed.
 Art Shaw, bandleader and clar- inetist, also has a "hot lick" of his own called Shoot the Likker to John Boy" which is not dissimilar to "Flat Foot" In fact Shaw is said to have consulted legal authorities on whether he could sue, but musi- clans told him that one hot lick was like another since they depend more on rhythm than on melody and that there probably have been dozens of the same since the 1920s.
