Controller Passes Blame to Board of Finance;
 Blame Controller

Finance Commissione today took issue with Controller Sherwood L. Rowland in the latter'S charge last week that the board was responsible for the mis-sta atement of the amount to be served in the city's economy program by the 10 per cent cut In city employees salaries.
 Consideration Of the minutes of the May 18th meeting of tho board showed that the office of Controller Rowland had reported, by Account. ant James P. Purcell. that "$i92,- 042.20" would be provided by the salary cut for the benefit of the well fare department,
 Controller Rowland's ofilce, how ever, had deducted" 10 per cent from the salaries of Waterburys school teachers 'or the months of July and August, when they are not paid.
 This made 1t necessary at the board meeting Thursday for Ire. placement" of about $ib,000 from the reserve fund set up by the boards and the Griffenhagen & As. sociates' economy program. The con. troller said that the board had made the mistake of deducting from the teachers salaries during the summer recess,
 But the minutes of the May 18th meeting show that the controllers accountant, Purcell, employe In the same ofiloe since 1880, had reported the figure to tho board, without making the proper allowance for the vacation period of the teachers,

Maryland Ha!ds Spotlight Where Conservative, Mil.
 lard E. Tydings Is Opposed By New Dealer.

Louisiana, Michigan, New Hamp- shire, Vermont, Washington, Utah hold comparatively unimportant primaries tomorrow and on We'd nesday another direct and possibly vital test Of Roosevelt leadership will take place in Georgia where tho new deal has endorsed U. s. Attor. fey Lawrence W. Camp against the conservative incumbent, Senator Walter ?. George. Third man in that ring iS Eugene Talmadge, form. or governor with q strong rural fol- lowing,
 Connecticut's Republican and Democratic nominating conventions will wind up the big political week to be followed Sept. 20 by four state primaries, including New York's where the new deal is trying to pre- vent the renomination of Represen- tative John J. O'Connor, chairman of the house rules committee who has been denounced by MT. Roose- welt aS c traitor to the new deal.
 TydingS Has Edge
 Various polls, betting odds and c considerable group of political writers believe Tydings went into today's polling with e substantial edge. The inside word in Washing ton ofiicialdom is that Tydings prob- ably will win.
 On the ballot with Tydings and Lewis is Arthur Y. Hungerford, former state emergency council di- rector. He already is c bad third.
 Instead of voting directly for can- didates, Maryland citizens actually will be choosing delegates to a Democratic state convention. These delegates are pledged. and the con. vention will be Q mere formality.

tory will be given their first pub
lie showing today in dealerships
throughout the country, includ
ing Trevor and Morris, Inc, local

bright metal, and widespread
headlamps set into the Tenders.
The words Ford Deluxe, in script

ment.
The 1889 DLuxe is powered by
an IS horsepower V-8 engine of
! even more rugged construction
than the 100000 already in USE
The Ford va is offered with the
same engine as the Deluxe or
with the economy 60 horsepower
va engine.
The bodies are of all-Welded
steel construction, and are fitted
with safety glass throughout.
They have clear-viSion ventila-
ton and ventilating windshield.
All body types have large lug
gage compartments. In fact, the
coupes in both lines have two
luggage compartments and large
shelves for parcels as well.

Ford V-8 bodies show careful
consideration for the convenience
and comfort of driver and pas
sengers. The cushions are deep,
and are wide enough for three
people. There are well-placed
