be a candidate for reelection to the General Assembly some time ago.
 The town chairman gave as his reason for resigning increased duties as supervisor of maintenance for the state public works department, saying that this precluded his giv- ing time to the job of town chair man. He had served as fire commis- sioner from 1930 to 1883 when he became associated with the motor vehicle department, remaining with that bureau until last year. He was the first Democrat to win in the 14th senatorial district in many years.
 Joseph V. Mahoney, treasurer of the town committee for seven years, declined another term and Mrs. Gertrude Hayes was elected in his place. Frank Kelly was reelected secretary.
 There was debate on resolution to indorse Thomas J. Dodd, state IVA administrator and native of this town, for the lieutenant governor nomination. It was voted to table the resolution, reportedly signed by 35, until delegates to the state convention are chosen. It was voted to hold testimonial dinner in honor of McDermott Septem- Der IS.

 Neither can they agree on the question of what essential quali- fication for beauty is most ne- glected by the modern woman?" Patterson says it is their minds, Hartman says their skin, and Hardy says their carriage. Trotta, on the other hand, believes 1t is "the gift of knowing how to help nature progress instead of retard- ing it" while Reagles says "the aesthetic"
 To the question do you believe that American women use cosmetics too freely" three of this group re- piled ives" while Hartman and Hardy agreed that the women use cosmetics temperately and to the best advantage.
 With the exception of Reagles the group was of the opinion that sports tend to make a woman less femi- nine. Reagles said he did not be- lieve this to be the case if the sports were horseback riding, fencing or archery.

 Their opinions of the typical girl also differed some- what. Reagles said that she is 'tan- ned by the sun and wind, energetic and with sex appeal".

Especial to The DemOcratl


 New Haven, Aug. 25.-Clarence G. Willard, grand jury orphan of the Republican State Central Commit tee, took out Republican adoption papers today and prepared to lead the New Haven delegation of l2 to the Republican state convention, September 15-16 here.
 Willard's position, attacked by Republican factions in all parts of the state since he was censured for having part in the liberal pay ments of the Merritt Parkway land deal "kickbacks," is that of key Re- publican against the propaganda of the Republican press seeking his removal. His victory in lining up unanimous support in his district, the ninth, has forced Republican State Chairman Benjamin E. Har- wood into a proclamation of "hands off" policy.
 As first delegate" of this city to state convention. Willard is in a position to rebuff and rebuke such enemies as Sen. J. Kenneth Brad ley and National Committeeman Samuel F. Pryor, Jr., who, as lead CTS of the Fairfield County faction seeking state control, went after the former state committee secretary from the time of his censure by the Merritt Parkway grand jury, in which it was cited that he received several thousand dollars from a firm mentioned in the report of the land scandals.
 By the same token, Willard be- comes leader of the potent forces

 Position For Fight
State Central Committee Adopts Hands=Off Policy; Old Guard Group May Be Able to Control Convention

of the late J. Henry Roraback which may see qualification of the Old Guard Republicans against the nu- merous factions of the Young Re- publican movement in which the Bradley-Pryo combine sought by fund disbursements to various cities to overthrow state control of the party.
 In spite of continued attack by the Republican press in its at tempt to clean Republican party skirts of grand jury propaganda so that Democrats so involved may be made campaign issue this fall, Will lard has been given greater support in his home district than hereto fore. thus disproving effect of the continued propaganda, observers here remarked. That State Chair man HarWood refused to undertake chance of contesting the seating of Willard was seen as indication that leaders of the Republican party are fearful of the effects of the propa- ganda when the convention meets, Willard's triumph constituting a definite rebuff from the electorate of this consistent program of at- tack for grand jury implications.
 The victory of Willard also meant direct Snub to potent Joseph H. Ullman, long time boss" of the dis trict where he and Willard for merly were coalition leaders of the Republicans. Ullman had opposed Willard in the 9th district battle and, for the first time since 1882, failed to obtain sufficient support to be returned to the state t/nven- ton as a delegate. Willard obtained 43 of 45 delegates, carried nine of ten wards against Ullman's candi- date, for reelection tot he state cen tral committee.
 With this strength a threat to overthrow all party plans and use of grand jury material in the fall campaign, Chairman HarWood en- phatically denied that he would challenge Willard's seating, say ing:
 On the question of state
 central committeeman, it has all
 ways been the policy of the state convention to accept without chal- lenge the will of particular dis
 trict.
 "The Republicans of the ninth district have spoken.
 Suggestions that a contest on the floor of the convention will hn HI,ns~ pk not emanated from this office.
 "I certainly have not suggested such a course, nor will recOm- mend such action to the conven- tiOn."
