 William Austin, 45, colored of q Judd street, whose complaint that Matthews had beaten and stabbed him led to Matthews arrest, was fined $5 and costs for intoxication.

has informed the departments that this is his wish. Dr. Stan- ley H. Osborne, state health com- missioner, replying to the letter from the governor, remarked that he never had requested Willard's services but that the 5000 item was added to his departments budget while the budget was in the hands of the finance commits sioner and before its presentation to the General Assembly.
 The Republican press, comment ing over the weekend that Will lard's resignation as an official Of the Republican party in the state twill be the first elimination of series of similar resignations among leading Republicans and Democrats as a result of the Bridgeport grand jury and the grand jury now deliberating at Waterbury" fails to remark on other affiliations of Secretary Will lard, such as his tie-up with Wa terbury and the Mckinley asso- citation election of last February when Willard apparently was the choice of Senator J. Kenneth Bradley, Republican national committeeman, Samuel F. Pryor, Jr., and local leaders of the Young Republicans for office.
 Courant Comments
 Commenting on action of Gov. Cross to end Willard's press con- nections with state departments. the Hartford Courant said edi- torially:
 "The governors power of sug- gestion does not, of course, ex- tend to the Republican state com- mittee, but in all the circun1- stances it will become MT. Will lard to resign his secretaryship forthwith. However useful he may have been in that capacity. his retention will not be helpful in the work of rebuilding the Re- publican party and restoring it to a fuller measure of public confidence"
