Board Of Finances
 Special Committee
 Meets With Auditors
Welfare Departments Estimates Loom as Principal PrObIenl-Q Question of Reduction in Personnel
 Assumes Importance at Present Time

confronting these next few months.
 It has been noted by both Grif- fenhagen auditors and welfare de- partment officials that setting of a fixed estimate of expenditures, ahead some months of the time when the costs are expected to materialize, is & dubious matter. Instance of this was the setting of the sum of $367,- 470 as the presumed expense of the department fo.' the current year.
 Inasmuch as welfare conditions last fall were the basis for the esti- mates, the ensuing depression and coincidental doubling of the relief load created 8 crisis in the depart ment which resulted, in May, in the board of finance cutting city em- ployes' salaries 10 per cent to under write provide for continuance of the relief work.
 Some members of the welfare board are reported to have anxiety over possible repetition of this ex- haustion of resources in the event the 1899 estimates call for cutting of personnel, pointing to the antici- pated exhaustion of WPA funds by late December, or January, and the resultant increase of the local re- lief load. Presently, there are more than 2,O00 persons on WPA rolls locally.
 Relief Costs
 The Griffenhagen outline is said to contemplate increased appropri- ations over the inadequate amounts set up last year which later it was found necessary to double, in some cases, to provide the essential food and care for the more than 5000 persons presently receiving relief in some form.
 At the same time, the aspect of unsettled economic conditions and the problem of increased call for aid should the WPA funds be lessened in apportionment here creates pos- sibility that any considerable shaw ing of personnel might result in the department being caught in serious predicament within few months, is the sentiment of several of the conferees.
 The economy committee will prob- ably report to the Board of Finance at tomorrow's meeting on the first budget outlines. Members of the committee, besides Chairman Judge, include Commissioners John H Goss, Charles B. Jackson, Mayor Frank Hayes, Controller Sherwood Rowland; Aldermanic Presid n Patrick M. Perriello; and members of the Board of Aldermen have at- tended some meetings.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-09-28

First meeting of the economy com- mittee of the board of finance which will see actual consideration of the budget outline for next year will be held at 7:30 o'clock tonight at City Hall with Finance Commissioner Major w. Judge presiding as chair man.
 A number of matters will be un- dertaken, principally the budgets of the engineering department and the department of public welfare. AS relates to the former, 1t is under stood from 8 reliable sources that agreement has been reached be- tween department heads and the Griffenhagen & Associates staff about next years estimated expense.
 Staff Reduction?
 The problem of the welfare de- partment's budget, however, is yet to be solved, it was learned today. There are a few of the recommen- dations by the Griffenhagen experts which have not been approved by the welfare board and principal among these is the question of whether the department would be justified in cutting some admins tration costs, probably by reducing personnel, in the light of the un- certainty of economic conditions

Congressional Committee Agent Says Bund Active
 ities in U. s. Dangerous

Washington, Sept. 2e-(UP)- John c. Metcalfe, agent for the House committee inestigating ur1- American activities, charged today that Nazi adherents have obtained possession of secret construction plans for U. s. battleships.
 Metcalfe, former Chicago newspa- perman who became committed agent, disclosed activities of Ger man American Bund members, charging:
 1. The Bund already is advertise ing an Oct. 2 celebration of Adolf Hitler's acquisition of the sudeten- land.
 3. The Bund members consider themselves the same type of minor ity as the Germans inhabiting Cze- choslovakias Sudetenland.
 3. Nazi agents have acquired se- cret battleship plans and even have been assigned to go on trial runs of the latest type battleships of the U. s. Navy.
 {. That the German-American Bund can muster 5000 storm troop CTS within its own ranks and plans to draft such men flor a sabotage machine and spy nett" in event of German-United States war.
 "Adherents to the Naxi cause have slipped into U. s. Navy yards where they have obtained employ ment and succeeded in securing pc sitions which place them in direct possession of secret plans for con- struction of U. s. Navy battleships of the latest types.
 "They have even been assigned to trial runs of these ships"
 Metcalfe became Q member of German American organizations during his investigation. He said that storm troopers revealed that several of them ''are aviation nech- anics and hinted that they were employed by the Douglas Aircraft Corporation; also Boeing Aircraft"
 Information has come to this committee" he said, that this or- ganization is growing and 1t is re- ported that already a second force has been established in Los An- geles. This fact lends credence to the belief that the United States may expect to see German storm troop units established throughout the country"

A net deficit of $22,787.14 in the operation of the Waterbury hospital during the fiscal year ending Sept. 30 was reported by the hospital executive committee at the annual meeting of officers yesterday after noon.

 Expenses
 Total hospital expenses for the year were $416,512.38, while hospital income was $336, ,181.59. De. "eciation brought the total operating deficit $109, ,91763, but this was reduced to the $22,00O figure by incorporating income of $87,130.49 from various funds and contributions.
 The executive committee reported that 15 per cent of the hospital patients received care at the insti- tuition free, while 78 per cent ot the patients paid only part of the actual cost. The drop in income was attributed to economic conditions.
