The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-03-01

However, the 5000 jobs will be made available in other sections of the state as soon as projects can be found to absorb the num- Der. At Waterbury, approximately 1900 are on WPA work, with few more being interviewed for places, If and when funds are made avail able for city participation in pro- jects. Word from Washington is to the effect that Senator Lonergan, (d) Conn, has asked the Works Progress Administration to increase its allocations for relief employ ment and for National Youth &C., tivities in Connecticut.
 The senator said that reports reaching him from industrial cen- terS in the state indicate an in- creasing need for unemployment as- sistance.
 DOdd Reports
 A report from Thomas J. Dodd. director of the National Youth Ad- minlstration in Connecticut in- formed the senator that in Octo- Der, 1887, only eight hundred young people between eighteen and twenty five years of age, drawn from re- lief families, were on lists for as- slstance. Since then the number has increased to fifteen hundred, and Senator Lonergan has in- formed the Works Progress Admin lstration that it is especially urgent that funds be increased for the young peoples work.
 Last week in the senate, Senator Lonergan voted for an increase in emergency relief funds from $25O,- 000,000 to $400,O0O,O0O.

 Applicants in State Now Exceed l,5OO

Orders for 5000 more WPA jobs in Connecticut have been received by Administrator Vincent Sullivan, at N:w Haven, arriving immediate ly after passage of the 00OO,0OO relief bill at Washington. But how this may affect Waterbury depends on the ironing out of difficulties of providing funds for additional projects, inasmuch as Instructions created by Controller Sherwood L Rowland have placed city funds in the position of having to be passed upon by both the board of public works and the board of finance, then approved by the board of al- dermen before first overtures for federal funds can be made.

FIREMEN BATTLE MENACINC FIRES
Winds Fan Flames in Late Evening, Early Morning
 Fires

Hampered by frigid temperatures and driving winds, firemen last night and early this morning bat tied two fires. Fire in a two and 8 half story wooden building at 605 East Main street was extinguished after hard battle early today. A short time before firemen fought blaze which destroyed garage and two automobiles at Al Martone street.
 Wind Fans Flames
 In both fires, the firemen had to take extraordinary precautions to keep them from spreading to other structures. The strong wind sent the flames roaring.
 The East Main street fire was dis covered a few minutes before o'clock by Charles Guglielmo, of 339 Oak street, who rang in an alarm from a nearby box. Owned by the Waterbury Savings Bank the building is occupied by the East End Furniture Company, operated by Joseph Robillard.
 Starting in a Workroom in the rear, the fire spread rapidly, eating it's way through walls and partitions. Flames were shooting from the win doTs when firemen arrived, and it was only after a hard struggle that the building was saved from com plete destruction. A large squad of police was at the scene, to enroute traffic and handle the large crowd of spectators.
 Cars Destroyed
 Firemen answered an alarm for the Marton street blaze at 11:03. The garage was owned by Mazzareno Mancim, of Al Marton street, who also owned one of the cars destroyed. The other car was owned by Arnold Cappeletti, of the same address.
 Fire Marshal Den Lahey and his staff continued their investigation into the two fires today.

STATE

Two big hits comprise the excel lent program opening three-day engagement at Warner Brothers State theater starting today and ending Thursday night.
 Heading the program Is Wayne Morris, Americas fastest rising star, in the biggest hit of his career "The Kid Comes Back" With plenty of action, laughs and romance it's the type of entertainment everyone, young or old, will heartily enjoy.
 The youthful star of Kid Gala had" and Submarine D-1" is cast in the role of a cowboy who turns boxer after being stranded in New York. His ability makes his rise to the top a rapid one and he is soon in position to fight for the heavy weight championship.
 However. his opponent is the brother of the girl he hopes to marry, and she has made him promise that the two would never meet in the ring.
 The story of what transpires makes an exciting drama full of amusing situations. Barton Mac Lane plays the part of the other boxer and June Travis is his sis ter who is in love with Morris. Maxie Rosenbloom, ex-light heavy weight champion, is also included in the cast.
 On the same program as the sec ond hit is Hitting a New High" with Lily Pons, Jack Cakie and John Howard in the leading roles.
 The plot deals with the romance between Miss Pons and Howard, and with the ingenious scheme through which Oakie seeks to have her dis covered' by his publicity-seeking Horton. These two themes are interwoven with the story in a hilarious fashion, and they lead to surprising results.
