LEVITT RETURNS TO 6. 0. P.FOLD
Former New Deal' Boost CT Becomes Anti=Admin-
 istratiOn Worker

Offering aid to the Republicans to help defeat the Connecticut New Deal" delegates to congress, Albert Levitt, of Bedding, again is taking active part in state politics, it was learned in Hartford today. MT. Levitt, unsuccessful candidate for governor in 1892, when he ran as an Independent Republican, has been an office holder under the New Deal most of the time since then.
 For several years MT. Levitt fought the leadership of the late J. Henry Roraback in the Republican state organization and, in 1892, he organized with others the so-called dry" party which supported Her bert Hoover but opposed the then United States Senator Hiram Bing- ham and the epublican state can- didates.
 MT. Levitt was appointed by At- torney General Homer S. Cummings to a place in the justice department, later was federal judge in the Vir- gin Islands, returning to this coun- try to the justice department. Thereafter he attacked the supreme court appointment of Justice Hugo L. Black and. subsequently,, most New Deal legislation.
 He now has offered his services to State Chairman Benjamin E. Harwood and has urged an early start in the Connecticut campaign this year.

WATERBURY AIDS
 PARALYSIS FUND
Money From Hamilton Park Dance to Help Buy
 Serum and Iron Lungs

President Franklin D. Roosevelt has been very much concerned over the epidemics of infantile paralysis which have been prevalent in many cities in different parts of the coun- try and at his request a public spir- ited Waterbury committee has planned a birthday dance for this worthy cause at Hamilton park pa vilion Saturday evening, January 18th.
 Reports have been submitted to the president from many areas in which the disease is again spreading its destruction. Once again there is brought forcibly to his mind the con- stantly increasing accumulation of ruined lives which must continue unless this disease can be brought under control and its after-effects properly treated.
 For over 10 years at the Founda- ton at Warm Springs, Georgia, the officials have devoted their efforts almost entirely to the study of im- proved treatment of the after-ef- fleets of the illness. During these years other agencies, which have from time to time assisted, have de- voted their energies to other phases of the fight.
 The general purpose of the new national foundation for infantile paralysis will be to lead, direct and unify the fight on every phase of this sickness. Receipts of the dance

Central Branch And
 Four District Huts
 81% Self Supporting
Gain Over Estimated Budget for Operations Shown in Survey for First Eight Months of Fiscal Year-Un=
 employed Granted Use of Buildings

A survey of departments at the Y. M. c. A. board meeting last night showed that the Waterbury Y was riding the present recession in good condition. The expenditures for the first months of the fiscal year total $106,582. During this per- iod, the Y. M. c. A. showed gain over it's estimated budget for opera tions, of $2,227.
 The three branches and the camp have produced from current receipts, $80,191, leaving $26,390 needed in subscriptions. Thus, the Y. M. c. A.. with it's four branches is 75 per cent self-supporting for the first g months. The Central Branch has been 81 per cent self-supporting, when the average for the nation is only 72 per cent.
 Camp Balances Budget
 The two Industrial Branches have always required subsidy, because they are run as community Branches, and are located in less favorable communities. The North Branch therefore, has needed this year, 58 per cent support in sub scriptions, and the Brooklyn Branch has required 60 per cent of its bud- get from public subscription. The Boys Camp balanced it's budget in 1887, with receipts of $120. greater than expenditures. This did not in- clude, however, any charge for the overhead portion of the administra- tion expense, of the Y. M. c. A.
 A large number of young men have been utilizing the three build ings because of unemployment. The unemployed are granted the use of the Central Building up until 5 o'clock each day, leaving the build ing for members, during the crowd ed evening period. The Brooklyn and North End Branches are open to the unemployed at all hours. Both Brooklyn and North End however, have a large number who are pay ing regular membership fees.
 The departments which produce receipts are standing up well. Mem bership receipts at the Central Branch show gain of S1,024. over last year, and a gain of 40 per cent over the depression low of 1883.
 The dormitory shows an increase of $500. over it's estimated budget for the year. The Young Mems Christian Education Clubs at the Central Branch have paid in $554 more than one year ago.
 The Y. M. c. A. is experiencing slight dropping off in receipts in the Recreation Departments, which includes the bowling alleys and the billiard rooms at the three branches.
 Cafeteria Sports Gain
 The reports showed that the cafeteria was one of the depart ments making the greatest gain. The first ' months showed a gain of 20 per cent over last year. The month of November showed gain of 46 per cent over November, 1886.
