out about 5000 letters to voters ir
all sectios of the state. Chairman
Smiths letter follows:
I'VE arc writing to you as one
whom we understand to be inter-
ested Ia the success OF the Dem
ocratic party In the coming elec-
ton. 1t Is our hope that you will
wish to assist In making possible
the carrying on of a vigorous cam
paign by making such contribu-
ton as you may find possible.
You realize that an effective
campaign costs considerable
money for such things as radio
time, advertising, the printing and
dissemination of literature and
kindred activities A party which
is poorly financed is badly handi-
capped.
We are writing at this compare
lively early date because we have
found In the past that many loyal
Democrats who would wish to con-
tribute substantially have found 1t
difficult to do so just before cleo
ton. Many Of these would have
been happy to make contributions
II 1t had been made convenient
for them to do SO. This year we
are adopting a plan which will
permit you to indicate to us now
what you expect to contribute, and
TO inform us as to the date or
dates when you will make your re-
mittances. ut Is vitality important
that we be able to estimate our
campaign fund so that we may in
diligently plan It's use.) A pledge
form and self-addressed envelope
Is enclosed for your convenience.
Above all, we wish to urge
very prompt reply TO this letter.
Whatever you may be able to do
will be doubly appreciated II you
will Inform us Immediately and
save US increased trouble and cost.

Carelessness, Enemy
OF American Drivers
Police Superintendent Says Cooperation Against Such
Should Be Individual Duty

Police Supt. William j. Roach to-
day termed "carelessness" as the
most vicious enemy that ever as
saulted the American people. "The
police will wage a losing battle
against the suppression of accidents
If we, as good citizens, do not aid
them In their work against this
enemy-carelessness," he said.
The complete text of his state
ment follows: .s
Can you look back and recollect
the wave Of patriotism that swept
over America upon its entrance into
the world war? That was when the
danger threatened Of a foreign
enemy invading our shores. All was
forgotten but the fact that our ma
ton might be attacked and our
safety placed in jeopardy. Our an
swer to the challenge was united de-
tense. 1t Is strange that a country SO
determined to protect its honor when
foreign enemy threatens should
DO so indifferent toward the protec-
ton of its very existence when an
other enemy-another invader-at-
lacks us day and night without in
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-07-30

terruption. This enemy, this invader
is-careleSSneSs. This enemy forms
the army, the most vicious army
that ever assaulted the American
people. Carelessness on the part of
the motorist and the pedestrian de-
prived our nation of 10000 lives last
year. Carelessness deprived our own
city Of sixteen lives last year. Why
shouldn't we look at this enemy who
threatens our life in the same light
as we did the enemy who threatened
to invade our country? Why
shouldn't we band together now as
we did then In united defense to put
this invader who robs us of our
loved ones in his place? The police
will wage losing battle against the
suppression Of accidents II we. as
good citizens, do not aid in their
work this enemy-carelessness. We,
the people, expect the best police
protection possible. The best assur-
ance of the fullest service from our
police department in their work of
fighting accidents and their causes
lies in the public's own sincerity, CO.
operation and friendliness toward
the police. This cooperation should
be regarded as an individual duty,
incumbent upon every citizen. In
addition to being AN act of good
citizenship, 1t facilitates the work of
the police in the accident preven-
ton field. When we look over the
list Of fatalities occurring each and
every day throughout the country.
we can easily say without thought of
falsehood that 1t Is needless waste
of human lives; lives that are of
to the committee to
which they belonged; wasted
through carelessness. Let us put a
stop to this unnecessary slaughter
by cooperating with the police. The
greatest inspiration that can come
to the police is the knowledge that
they hold the confidence of the
community's citizens. SO by our at
titude of sincerity. we can do our
part in inspiring the soldiers of Sc
curity, to that greater effort beyond
the call of duty which they are
anxious to make in the service of
humanity. We, as good citizens, can
aid the police greatly by ending all
carelessness and give them full CO.
operation by becoming safe and sane
drivers and safe-walking pedes-
TRANS. The month of July, the ma
tons month of horror, Is practically
over but we must not relax our
vigilance or forget our safety motto:

O'CONNOR DENIES
TAX REDUCTION
Statements Issued in Con-
troversy Over Reported
Change in Assessments

Corporation Counsel Charles S.
O'Connor not only did not "order"
reduction of assessments of proper
ties Of the Waterbury Savings Bank
and the Chase Brass and Copper
Company, as remarked today in the
Waterbury Republican, and Con-
trollcr Sherwood l.. Rowland, never
has talked with State Tax Com
missioner william H. Hackett," as
he claimed before the board Of
finance Thursday.
ment today by the corporation
counsel, who has been authorized by
the board to obtain letter from
the assessors which will show a
"clerical error" so that the board
may approve compromise reductions
in assessments made last year but
incorrectly tabulated on tax sheets
for the current year. The corpora
ton counsel reiterated his state
ment to the board concerning the
matter.
He said that the Waterbury Saw
ings Bank sought reductions on as
properties from the assessors and
was prepared to take appeal to the
courts last year. On direction of the
assessors and the board of relief,
Corporation Counsel O'Connor
sought adjustment of the matter to
save the city court costs, as well as
the general reduction sought by the
bank. He obtained services OF The
odore l.. MUM and Daniel T. Far
rington, Jr., well-knoWn local real
estate men, who appraised the prop
critics.
On their recommendation reduc-
lions were outlined on II OF the 46
properties and the bank, while not
pleased with the fractional discount,
finally agreed to accept this abate-
ment which the corporation coun-
sci then recommended" to the as
SCISSORS. A late member Of the board
in writing down the assessments on
the properties cited, placed the old
figures opposite the tax bills sent to
the bank. The bank paid the
amounts but Immediately appealed
for refund and the controller has
refused to return the over-payment,
offering criticism OF the corpora
ton counsel's power" In the mat
ter of settling and compromising
claims for the city.
The board of finance generally has
supported the corporation counsel
in the matter at the last two meet
ings and Thursday heard Corpora
ton Counsel O'Connor telling Con-
troller Rowland that, contrary to
the controllers public statement to
the board, he "had not talked to
the state AK commissioner" 1t
developed that James p. Purcell, of
the controllers office, had telephon-
ed mn assistant In the tax commits
sioners office but that Commissioner
Hackett, In conference with Mr..
O'Connor, divulged that he had not
conferred with Controller Rowland
about any part Of the assessment
reduction controversy raised by the
controller.
The situation now is up to the
assessors TO inform the board of f.
ance In writing concerning the
clerical error" whereupon the fl
ance commission Is expected to
recommend refund Of the abate-
ment made last year. Thus, Con-
troller Rowlands agitation over the
matter will be another "lost cause"
for his publicity agents, In the
opinion OF members Of the board Of
finance.

Terror Tonight
Remutch Promises Much
ViIIoinous Graphing
In Ring at Arena

Promoter Joe Turner Is patting
himself on the back these days for
having found paying combination
to fill his pews at the rassling arena,
it being a black hood and a faded
yellow sweat suit into which viii
famous rassler is inserted and called
the Golden Terror.
This Golden Terror is versed in
all the underhand trickery and
fakery of the trade and is willing
and able to display it before an
audience. In four shows here he
has earned the undying hatred of the
stubholders, and each week they
push folding money through the
window in hopes of being around
when he finally is given the beating
they think he deserves.
Comes Back at SavOldi.
Three times he won and once he
lost, the loss coming on Thanks
giving night when Referee Benny
Bortnick awarded the match TO
Jumpin' Joe Savoldi after the Ter
ror had carried things a little too
far for even the hardened Bennah.
The decisions pleased the fans; in
fact the whole show was considered
one of the best, so the two have been
rematched tonight for the feature
event at the Arena.
OF late the Terror has had an
aide-de-camp travelling with him.
a husky gent like himself, masked
and dressed in yellow suit. This
fellow acts as bait outside the ring,
heckling opponents and worrying
them generally. Two weeks ago when
the going got a bit too rough for
the Terror his aide jumped into
the ring and Joined forces with
him. That was the signal for a gen.
eral migration to the squared cir

combination. Sammy is a squatty
