ANTI-CAMBLINC
 CAMPAIGN OPENS

A state campaign has been opened for the purpose of removing all gambling devices from taverns, grills and clubs which previously have been making considerable profits by this means, 1t was learned today This project is in accordance with a law passed by the general assem- bly,, and effective July l, 1889. The provision reads as follows: "No per- mittee shall engage in or allow, permit, or suffer any unlawful game or gambling of any kind, or any device or apparatus designed for any such purpose on or about the permit premises"
 The campaign inaugurated by the state liquor control commission, will have little effect in Waterbury, which has had regulations of this sort for some time. Local police effect a permanent ban on such gambling devices, and have done so for the last few years.

RUpsetsWBRY' s Trial News Scoops"
Manager Thomas Points Out Facts on Superior
 Service Given Local Public

by John Cluney of The Waterbury Democrat, who was Ion the job" every day of the trial with one exception, and on that day at 5:30 o'clock a resume of the days &C., tivities was given by him from his radio post in the Superior Court building. Aside from that one day, he did not have to take SOME ONE ELSE'S DESCRIPTION of what happened in the courtroom.
 Because of the WATR special facilities and its open microphone WITHIN THE ERROR COURT BUILDING, it was obvi- ously impossible to score a "beat" on the jury's verdict yesterday such as claimed by VERY this morning. AS a matter of fact, and by actual timing, the jury's ver- dict relative to Mayor Frank Hayes was announced by John Cluney from the Superior Court building a FULL MINUTE before ANY OTHER STATION and the WATR "beat" on the fate of At torney Charles E. Wilkinson was FOUR MINUTES ahead of any other station or news service.
 Here are a few things that WATR broadcast FIRST: Name of the first state witness. John P. Fitzmaurice. Agreement of the defense lawyers to alternate jur- ors, after first deciding against them.
 News that a SEALED VERDICT in the case of Williamson would be handed down by the court to be read after the jury returned with 8 verdict. (This was broadcast TUESDAY night at 5:30, though the verdict was not handed down until WEDNESDAY,.
 As for the general radio cover age of the trial, we are more than willing to stand on our record" and allow the PUBLIC OF WA TERBURY to judge which of Wa terbury's two radio stations gave them the BEST coverage; the MOST RELIABLE coverage, and last, but not least, EXCLUSIVE coverage.
 Incidentally WATR has the added distinction of having been granted permission to install radio microphone in a superior court building, for the first time in the history of Connecticut court procedure. We are proud of that, and the job we did, and, we think, justifiably so, all claims to the contrary notwithstanding"

Relative to radio coverage of the Waterbury Conspiracy trial the fol- lowing statement was made this morning to The Democrat by Harold Thomas, general manager of Water bury's station WATR:
 Because of such unwarranted and obviously unfair claims rela- tive to radio coverage of the Wa terbury Conspiracy trial at the Superior Court made in the Wa terbury Republican of this morn- ing's issue, believe it is abso- lutely necessary to refute any such ridiculous claims, made by VERY as flashing the jury's decision MINUTES AHEAD of ANY OTHER CONNECTICUT STA TON"
 Since the inception of the con- spiracy trial on November 29, 1888, WATR was granted per- sonal permission by the Honor able Ernest A. Inglis, trial judge, for the installation of a micro phone IN THE SUPERIOR COURT BUILDING, from which twice daily broadcasts were given

Grand Jury Probe of Extoron Attempt Tinted Counsel
CAMPERS PICK
 AL LSCH|AvONE
Boys Club Members Pick New Director in Self-
 Government Plan

The rare opportunity for self gov- ernment was being enjoyed today by the tventy-nine members of the Boys Club camp in Middlebury. Each Thursday the campers elect four members of their group that will run the camp for the day. Elected to the position of camp director this week was Al Schiavone. He will be assisted in carrying out the program by Gerald Soucy, act- ing in the capacity of athletic dir ector, Tony Zazonovich as swim ming director, and Ronald Ciprano as nature director. The program drawn up by this new staff was not vastly different from the usual one but the experience of running their own community from dawn to dusk as they themselves decree has many fine advantages.
 Boxing is the activity that is pressing archery for popularity. Bouts are held each night after the softball game and the matches prove to be very interesting and close judging from the response of the campers. Mark Margiotti has swung his way through to the honor of being called the fighter of the week. Young Mark has knocked down all the willing campers of his own age level and has had to go up several classes before encount- ering any real opposition.
 The two indian plays '"The Will of Standing Bear" and the Outlaw" will be presented for the benefit of the new group of campers this eve- ming around the campfire. Tomorrow evening the campers, under the sup ervision of Jack Winston, will hike to Lake Quassapaug for their week. ly adventure in fun.

Alcorn, ST., to present the matter before the Extraordinary Grand Jury which adjourned indefinitely last year, or to call on States Attorney William B. Fitzgerald to summon a new Grand Jury.
 Attorney Navin said he would seek to have the Grand Jury inves- tigate all the circumstances in the case, but particularly the reason why prosecution of his client has not yet been begun in either federal or state courts.
 Rumor Revived
 MT. Navin's announcement revived rumors, heard some weeks. that Massucci would claim that a promi- nent figure in the conspiracy trial had been involved in the alleged att tempt to secure money from the mayor by threatening his life. The attorney would not comment on this phase of the case today.
 Massucci was arrested late last December after being caught in an elaborate trap arranged by police, after Mayor Hayes had received let ters which threatened his life if he did not pay $5,000. The arrest was made at Wall street and Catherine avenue, as Massucci stopped to pick up a package, supposedly contain ing the money but containing only scrap paper, which Mayor Hayes tossed from his car.
 The mayor had been following in- structions given him in an extortion note, which listed detailed route for him to follow, and told him where to drop the money, AS the mayor tossed out the dummy pack age, uniformed policemen and plain clothesmen swarmed from nearby houses and other hiding places and captured Massucci.
 State, Federal Charges
 Both state and federal charges were lodged against Massucci, but he has not yet been placed on trial. During the conspiracy trial, attor- ney Navin conferred several times with Judge Ernest A. Inglis.
 There have been unconfirmed re- ports that federal grand jury sev- eral months returned a secret in- dictment against Massucci. Federal authorities at New Haven, however, have remained non-committal.
 After being arrested, Massucci, During the conspiracy trial, Attor- according to police, claimed that he was acting under instructions given him by an unidentified man, whom he had met downtown.
 Later there were reports that Massucci was claiming that prom inent figure in the trial had ar- ranged for the alleged attempt at extortion.
 It is understood that any investi- gation into the case will be 8 mat ter for new Grand Jury and that 1t is outside the province of the ex- traordinary grand jury, which MT. Alcorn can call back into session at any time he sees fit.
