Superintendents Of schools In

holders of hazardous positions" in
the opinion Of Commissioner E. w.

education. This opinion Is express
cd by Commissioner Butterfield in
his eighth annual report.
The report, incidentally, Is his
final as commissioner of education
for he will be succeeded this year
by DR.. Alonzo G. Grace, former as
sistant professor In the University

Pointing TO the insecurity of su-
perintendents' positions In school
administration Of recent years, Com
missioner Butterf1eld asserts, Dur
ing the present year, OF one hundred
men who act as school superintend-
ents In Connecticut towns large and
small, there has been one death;
one natural resignation; two I'M
happy designations; four forced re-
tirements demotions or dismissals.
"Of the superintendent of the
five largest cities, three have been
subjected to extended public attack
OF twelve other superintendent OF
long experience and unquestioned
ability, one-half have had similar
experience.
"A loss Of eight In one hundred
through death, resignation, or re-
tirement shows that the superin-
tendent's position in Connecticut
today Is a hazardous occupat ton. :"

CURRENT POLITICAL TREND IN
Litchfeld County
BY EDWARD J. RYAN

The Republicans see a bitter fight
In the offing.
A handful of voters attended
the town meeting held the other
evening in Thomaston. The meet
ing was called to consider the ad-
visibility Of building a new road
up near the Two Mile bridge. II
was voted down. And the reason
II was voted down, hear, was
because those attending ganged up
on Kaiser. the first selectman. 1t
was whispered around that Kaiser
was playing with Chauncey
Hutchins of Harwinton on the
project. BUT, after defeating the
motion, I was more than mildly
surprised To see hasty confer
ence between the person who
made the motion TO defeat the
project and one Of the selectmen,
following the conference saw
the first named person going into
secret session with the person
who seconded that motion. Then /
saw the first person make a
MOTION TO take the defeated
motion from the table, SO that the
voters, (The hand full could

There is a Republican In
Thomaston who Is anxious to be
named town chairman of the Re-
publican party. He would unseat
Chairman Holbrook. Holbrook has
done a remarkable Job In Thorn
aston, he makes good chairman
and should maintain his leader
ship of the party.
The Democrats In Litchfield
County are definitely lining up
for the nomination of Labor Com
missioner Joseph Tone, who Is
looking for the nomination for
lieutenant governor.
One OF the finest appearing
politicians that I have seen In the
county Is Ernest E. Novey OF Tor
rington, for many years the
mayor Of that city. Novey Is now
looking for the Republican nomi-
nation for high sheriff. He should
get 1t. He would make good
man for that post.
My money Is still on Thomas
Wall 10 get the Republican Con-
gressional nomination. Thomas
would be great asset not 80
much TO the Republican party,
but TO the voters of this district.
He would make remarkable
Congressman. A good man to rep

active campaigning.
On the other hand the Demo-
Gratis as a whole, are doing a
great deal Of talking, but they
too, are showing little real activ-
ity. And while 1t still is rather
early for serious campaigning, 1t
Is nevertheless true that II the
Democrats want to capture
Litchfield County, they have
plenty of work to do.
I get 1t from very reliable au-
thOrity that the Republican town
committee In Torrington Is about
to undergo drastic changes. Such
changes as those which are now
under serious consideration by
leaders of the TOrringt0n G. O. p.
are really necessary.
As yet the Republican town
committee has said nothing about
the candidacy of Thomas Wall as
candidate for Congress, but I
hear that the Committee Is ready
to endorse him.
Speaking of Thomas Wall, I I'M
derstand that some OF his politi-
cal enemies are spreading the Cos
sip that Wall is not popular, that
he won't carry Torrington, let
alone the Congressional district.
Well, take II from me Thomas
Wall Is one Of the most popular
men in Torringt0n. His popularity
spreads throughout the county
and what Is more he will be nomi-
mated and the Republican town

endorse him.

BY ROBERT A. McGILL

U.N.S.) Another defeat for
President Roosevelt's Government
reorganization program-unless he
compromises with Congress on
controversial issues-was predicted
today.
The prophecy came from a
strong Senate Democratic bloc
which claimed enough strength to
defeat-with Republican support
an omnibus bill, regardless OF
the action of the House, which
Shelved the Presidents reorganiza-
ton program at the last session
Of Congress.
On the other hand, these Sen
ate Democrats foresaw passage Of
a substantial part of the PreSi-
dents program if Congress Is
given a hand in writing a new
bill, and a voice in procedure
that is, whether the program
shall be introduced in separate
measures, or in a combined bill.
AS President Roosevelt let it be
known yesterday he will insist on
some measure of legislation per-
