 Many Applicants

the radio, parked the car in back lot, unused up the house generally, and then called by telephone for the relief agency to send around an in- vestigator. "I'm starving" he told the official who took the call.
 While this, of course, is regarded as an extreme and exaggerated in- stance of an attempt to obtain relief under pretense of being destitute, some of the efforts by persons liv- ing in Waterbury to "get on well fare" have been almost as extreme, the report shows.
 Another Attempt
 There was the Waterbury man who applied for relief in June. He told the department officials that he had no means of support, visible or otherwise. He had small family and had not been working for some time, he remarked.
 The investigator assigned to this case found that the applicant had $11 ,000 in cash deposits in certain bank.
 The amounts found credited to &C., counts of the applicants on the list showing the more than $27l,000, varied from small sums, in a major ity of instances, to thousands of dollars.
 March Applicants
 March seems to have been the month showing the greatest num- Der of these leash reserve" appli- cants, the report indicated. During that period there was one applicant who had $8,000 on deposit, inves- tigators found; two applicants had more than $5,000 each.
 Welfare department officials ham, dle these cases of false present. ment" of claims for relief in their own way and in coformity with all welfare matters, the individuals are not exposed except in the instances where obvious attempt to defraud the city is found.
 Sign Bank Slip"
 In a majority of cases where ap- plicants are found to have cash in the bank it proves to be a misunder- standing as to qualification for re- lief. The department officials, of course, have all applicants sign what is known as bank slip," showing what financial institution has handled their money, if any. There have been no prosecutions this year, circumstances seeming not to warrant, it was remarked. But in past years, particularly un- der the EZRA, the city saw several arrests of persons making fraudu- lent claims for relief money and materials.

DEMOCRATS TO
 MEET ON FRIDAY
(Continued from Page D

(Continued from Page D Fridays meeting representatives of the numerous Democratic organ izations in Waterbury. Already an- nouncements of support individual ly have been received from mem- bers, who regard the policy and aims of the Democratic Voters committee as logical for the future success of the party here in Wa terbury.
 At last nights session Democra- tic State Central Committee Chair man J. Francis Smith, presently chairman of the Democratic Vot- CTS Committee, stated that efforts are still being made to bring in con- ference the leaders of the several factions of the party here in Wa terbury with the view of removing such difficulties as prevent com- plete harmony.
 A finance committee was also announced by Chairman Smith. It consists of George B. Horan, Thom- as F. Moran, Jr, Ralph Tremaglio, Dr. Edgar Adams, and Attorney stephen Homick.
 Cooperation of All
 Chairman Smith emphasized to- day the fact that the Democratic Voters Committee seeks the coopera- tion of all Democrats who are vitally interested in the welfare and future of the party and that such support as can be given should be manifest on an occasion like Friday night when the groups first public meet ing will be held.
 Notable at the Friday meeting will be the appearance of many women Democrats. Prior sessions of the Democratic Voter. Committee have been limited to men, but it is the plan and hope of the sponsors to include many women Democrats in its membership and to secure their cooperation and advice in directing future movements directed towards complete harmony within the Dem ocratic party.
 There will be no lengthy speaking program at Fridays meeting, the main purpose being to acquaint a large group of representative Dem- ocrats with the aims of the Demo- cratic Voters Committee and the means whereby 1t hopes to iron out any and all differences within party ranks.

ring from relief of the persons who possessed more than quarter of a million dollars, board members vouchsafed the belief that the amount might run into six figures. On the basis of 1000 persons obtain ing relief at an approximate cost of $20 monthly each (not an exact figure), there has been saving to the city of $2O,OOO monthly, or $120,00O since the first of 1888.
 One Instance Related
 It is customary to investigate all cases before relief is accorded by the welfare department. Strange stories develop out of the scrutiny of the affairs of some, applicants who ex- emplify the recent report" of the man who, tired of working, quit his job, went to his home, covered up his Wife's electric washing machine, hid

 Chimes Cut Dykes
 The Chinese reported that they had cut dykes along the Yangtse near Yuhu, 10 miles above Kiukiang, flooding vast area of farmland" in an effort to hold back the Japa- nese advance. Thirty thousand new Japanese endorsements were re- ported to have gone to the front from Shansi province in order to speed up the drive and occupy Han- kow quickly so that Japan would be better able to meet any eventuality growing out of the Manchukuoan border with the Russians. The Jap- anese claimed that their march westward along the Yangtse from Kiukiang, 135 miles below HankoW, was gaining momentum despite the Chinese threat to their rear lines. The Chinese reported that at least 100 assorted Japanese warships, 300 launches and hundreds of supply junk were following the Japanese vanguard westward.
 Force Japs Back
 Chinese military authorities re- ported that continued counter -at- tacks were forcing the Japanese back at scattered points and taking heavy casualties. This week, they said, there were 4OO0 Japanese cas- ualties, including at least 1000 killed in a single engagement at Tsien- shan, 30 miles northwest of Anking. The Japanese defenses at that point were said to have been weak be- cause they had withdrawn troops to positions north of the Yangtse for a drive to Hankow along a new route.
 First Japanese objective in the new march was Susung, about 20 miles north of Kiukiang, which fell to them after a bitter battle. The Chinese claimed they had "annihil- ated" two entire Japanese divisions.

 Topeka, Kans., Aug. 3.-UP).- Clyde M. Reed, former governor, will contest Kansas senatorial seat with the Democratic incumbent, George A. McGill, in the November elec- tion.
 He won in Tuesdays primary over field of four candidates, including the Rev. Gerald B. Winrod, tabula- tion of more than three-fourths of the states vote showed today
 Reed, who frequently had engaged in political feuds with Ali M. Lar- don, the 1886 G. O. P. standard bearer, in previous campaigns, led his nearest opponent by almost 40.- 900 votes. Winrod, the Wichita evangelist, who spent $22,000 in the campaign according to his report to the senate, was hopelessly outclassed.
 Liberal Republican factions in Kansas had consolidated late in the campaign to defeat Winrod who had been criticized by liberal elements for anti-Jewish, anti-Catholic and alleged pro-Nazi writings in his widely circulated fundamentalist pamphlet, The Defender.
 The complete returns from ,456 of the states 2,709 precincts gave:

Cars must pull into the curb and come to a complete stop when the fire horn sounds and remain so until such time as the fire equipment has cleared, Chief of Police Dan Ralston declared today in warning that heavy fines will be imposed against violatorS of this city regulation.
 This policy should be followed regardless of weather condition the Chief said, but it is doubly import ant to dc so now when it is so diff cult to get around.
