NSSSAS~~~rr~~S gan of the Vatican, of an article from the Luxembourg newspaper Wort, the Catholic conservative or gan of the principality.
 This article asserted that Hans Kerrl, Nazi minister for church af- fairs, intended to submit to the Nazi Bar association for examination the draft of an eight-point law gov erning church activities.
 Eight Law Points
 The law, according to this report would prescribe:
 1-Abrogation of the 1883 con- cordat or agreement between the Vatican and the NaI government concluded soon after Hitler's acces- sion to power.
 2-A ban on rleigious propaganda in Germany, including "propaganda' disseminated by means of special masses, processions or pilgrimages.

 Prohibition against contribu- tions by Germans to the church or to religious orders.
 zProhibition against the bap- tizing of Jews by priests, or the ad- mission to the priesthood of German subjects who are not "Aryan."

 Kingpin of Lobbyists
 Mackenzie, . former leader of the Republican party in Fairfield Coun- ty, was. according to the yevela- tions of the grand jury. the King pin" of all lobbyists, working in as- sociation with williamson and split ting some fees with him.
 In 1935 he received $2,000 from the Electric Steam Sterilizing Com- pany for services in the General Assembly. He received fourth of the $5S. 400 which the city allegedly paid williamson for lobbying m 1885 and 1887.

(Continued from Page D that the state administrator orders certain number dropped in every city in the state.
 It was reported in New Haven to- day that about $50 will be dropped from WPA rolls within the next 24 hours, bearing out the assumption that the Waterbury cut came in ac- cordance with the completion of a pay period, may represent the total of workers to be laid of here.
 The report at New Haven was to the effect that about 2,500 non-relief WPA workers in New Haven county and about 60 of the administrative staff are to be dropped within very short time.
 Increase in Relief Costs
 Cities throughout the state have become concerned over the increase in relief costs to municipalities but the situation in Waterbury, where about $140,000 to $150,000 remains in the contingency fund set up by the board of relief assures sufficient money for relief presented no emer- gency today.
 The finance board, with Griffen- hagen & Associates, has been en- gagged in an economy program throughout the last several months which has resulted in creation of this contingency fund as insurance against just such crises as may now develop in the light of carving of federal funds allotted for relief-work projects.
 Statement False
 So far as reports that the welfare department, to which some of the dismissed WPA workers have re- applied for relief, told them to come back in two or three weeks" this statement was branded as false to- day. The ordinary procedure in re- lation to relief applicants would re- quire only two or three days, it was pointed out, and those eligible for relief could be investigated within 24 hours, their cases reinstated shortly thereafter. it was explained.
 In connection with methods used ill determining which workers should be dropped, 1t was stated at New Haven that elimination was based on several factors, the first whether the WPA employe had other assets or benefits; another, whether he was competent; another, whether he would be eligible for other benefits in the eventuality of his being dropped.
 So far as the local welfare depart ment was concerned. 1t had no offi- cial voice in elimination of the Wa terbury workers dropped by the WPA.

 President Perriello was kept buss urging that order be kept. In answer to criticism concerning inadequacy of the chamber for the number o1 persons in the corridor, he required that the city sheriff find anyone ir the hall who wanted to speak.
 L. N. Nardella, of POT Willow street criticized the mayo's office and the corporation counsers in the matter of number of personnel and in- quired why there "are three officers to every policeman" concluding with attack on the street department as lover manned"
 Domenic Cancellado said that he presumed that this was a meeting to discuss the budget. we want tc know why the taxes are raised" he said, "and we don't know which way we are going. I think we should stay where we are" he remarked apparently indicating that he want ed the tax rate to remain at 3l mills.
 Prepared Speech
 Michael Russo, of 96 Wolcott street. read a prepared speech in behalf of the Workers Alliance C.I.O. affiliate, in which light and gas for those on relief was asked an item for low-cost housing, atten- ton to education, protest on the salary cuts. After he had read for about seven of eight minutes Alder man Ernest P. Belval attempted to get the floor to inquire whether there wasn't an agreement, (as he read in the papers) by which a speaker would be accorded five minutes.
 "Sit down." yelled some of the audience. Let him talk", cried a group in another section of the chamber.
 The Workers alliance spokesman continued with an attack on large property owners, urged revaluation to put more burden on these tax payers, pruning of city departments and banning of political influence
 Alderman Belval explained that he had not attended the aldermanic meeting the night before and had nc knowledge of an agreement where by the aldermen would not enter into debate with the speakers; tha: he had no desire to halt the speaker but merely wanted to know whether there wasn't a time limit on all speeches.
 Publish Tax Overs
 E. F. Donahue of 10 Stafford street, approved publishing a list of taxpayers owing the city more than 5000, saying the property should be taken over and citing report that city officials owed taxes. He attacked city officials for drawing pay and not fulfilling their duties because they are sitting over in the courthouse every day" especially at- tacking Street Supt. Thomas J Fleming on the matter of snow re- moval which was delayed by lack oi funds forthcoming for truckers by way of the controllers office.

Arthur N.

Miss Anne Raymond Of the edu-
cation division of the southwest
region of the soil conservation serv-
ice of the Department of Agricul-
ture, has been spending a few days
in Santa Cruz County.
Teachers of Santa Cruz County
will remember that the first units
in education developed with the
Land AS A Textbook were car
ried on in Arizona. A full report of
this work was published in the Ari-
zona Teacher in October of last
year.
Arizona is proud to be leading
the way in developing this vital and
progressive note in practical edu-
cation. Santa Cruz County has been
selected because of her fine per
some, of teachers, to further car
ry out this study of the land and
it's resources.
Nogales is fittingly selected as a
center Of such study. as the pro-
gram on flood control in this area,
has had intelligent cooperation from
it's citizens.
Many of us are familiar with
Stuart Chases book Rich Land -
Poor Land, but it is important for
us to bring the problem nearer
home. We are glad to welcome this
study in our county, and hope that
we may have reports of its progress
from time to time.
The State Department of Educa-
ton of Arizona, has lent its coop
Grafton to the development of this
program. You recall DR.. Hendrix S
excellent article in the October num-
ber of the Arizona Teacher. The
State University has manifested a
real interest in this progressive
study in vital education. The Ari-
zona Teacher in this special soil
conservation number, carried a
splendid editorial from Dean Clar-
son from the University of Arizona.
Miss Raymond goes from here to
Phoenix, where she will discuss the
program with members of the state
Department, having recently come
from conference at the University
of Arizona. She will visit the teach
! ing projects in Graham County,
while she is in the state.
Programs are being developed in
Utah, Colorado, New Mexico and
Arizona. These states constitute the
Southwest Region in the Soil Con-
servation Service, of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, and this region
is leading the way in educational
material throughout the country.
