AMERICAN BOY MAGAZINE
COMPANION TO THOUSANDS

Hundreds of thousands of boys and
young men read THE AMERICAN
BOY Magazine every month and con-
slider it more as living companion
than as magazine.
"It's as much buddy to me as my
neighborhood chum," writes one high
school senior. "THE AMERICAN
BOY seems to understand a boys
problems and considers them in such
a sympathetic and helpful way. It
gives advice and entertaining reading
on every subject in which young fell
low is interested. It is particularly
helpful in sports. / made our school
basketball team because of playing
tips / read in THE AMERICAN
BOY"
Many famous athletes in all sports
credit much Of their success to helpful
suggestions received from sport ar
ticles carried in THE AMERICAN
BOY Magazine. Virtually every is
sue offers advice from famous coach
or player. Football, basketball, track,
tennis, in fact every major sport is
covered in fiction and fact articles.
Teachers, Librarians, parents and
leaders of boys clubs also recommend
cally. They have found that as a gem
eral rule regular readers of THE
AMERICAN BOY advance more rap
idly and develop more worthwhile
characteristics than do boys who do
not read it.
Trained writers and artists, famous
coaches and athletes, explorers, scien-
fists and men successful in business
and industry join with an experienced
staff to produce in THE AMERICAN
BOY, the sort of reading matter boys
like best.

favorite of his party for the 194(
presidential nomination!
The charge of his opponents that
Dewey is too young and therefore toe
inexperienced does not stick as fan
as the public is concerned. Decent
people everywhere who respect integ-
rity and ability like the cut of Dew.
ey's jib, are enthusiastic over the pub
lie record that he has made. They
like his public record because they
highly regard courage, intelligence
and ability wherever found-and es-
pecially in public life.
And like the astronomer they don't
have to wait to see comet land be-
fore knowing its course. Instead, af-
ter the manner and method Of search
ers of truth in the heavens, they
study its course, get range on its
curves, calculate its speed and then
tell you exactly when and where it
will land.
While 1t IS true thaC the science OF
politics is not an exact one as is the
science of mathematics with which
the astronomers calculations are
made), nevertheless there is enough
known about it to enable men to see
where a public figure is going. And
Dewey is going places. He has be-
come the symbol of honesty, courage,
and decency in government. He thinks
straight, sees straight, walks straight
and best of all he is young-the SYM
Dol of the fresh, hopeful, clean, hon.
est leadership which can lead dis
couraged people to the firm ground
of high places.

tunity to the citizens of Waterbury to acuuaint themselves with the sweeping changes in city govern ment which would be effected by the proposed city manager charter.
 One suggestion heard Is, that the referendum be held 10 weeks after passage of the bill and signing of Il by the governor. Other dates for the referendum have also been sug- gested.
 Unconfirmed Rumor
 An unconfirmed report heard fre- ouently about the Capitol the past few days is that an effort will bt made, either in or out of the com- mittee, to have the referendum or the city manager plan held at the next city election in October, and te have the new charter, if adopted go into effect two years later. This plan will no doubt be strongly fought by the Citizens Good Gov ernment group.
 The cities and boroughs commit tee, if 1t sees it, can amend the referendum bill as it sees fit be- fore reporting on 1t to the house and senate.
 The claim of opponents of the plan to hold the referendum three weeks after signing of the bill is that only c handful of Waterbur- ians are familiar with the terms oi the proposed city charter. In fair ness to the voters. 1t was claimed they should have sufficient time tc study the lengthy document and learn what its provisions call for.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-02-14

A. Those statements were discon- tinued by instruction of Mir. Leary.
 Q. Now in 1881 did you know Q man named Borgnaes?
 A. Yes.
 Q. Under what circumstances? Annual Audits A. He was an employe, think, at that time of the firm known as Mill Ter, Franklin & Co. He was an em- ploye of that firm. They were en- gagged in making annual audits for the year,
 o. He made audits for the city's books for the year 193l2 From that time how long did he remain on the payroll of the city of Waterbury,
 c. Whether or not to your knowl- edge Borgnaes at any time from 1881 down to 1888 was in the employ of the accused, Kingsley? A. I don't know who the mem bers of Miller 6 Franklin were.
 o. Whether or not to your knowl- edge during 1881 or 1882 was Borg naes there in the interest of the ac- cused Kingsley? What firm audited the books after 1881? A. I don't know whether the firm name was changed or was supposed to be some other firm, after 1881 the name being George Kingsley & Go.
 @. Did Borgnaes continue audit ing for the city after that change?
 A. Yes.

Purcell Resumes Testimony
 On Controllers Check System

James P. Purcell, a member of former Controller Daniel J. Leary's staff during the latter's term of of fee, and presently an assistant to Controller Sherwood Rowland, re- sumed his testimony on the witness stand today. Special Prosecutor AL corn did the questioning as court convened.
 e. Will you describe the system of cheeks about which an inquiry was made Friday?
 A. I think I got as far as telling how the checks were brought to the city clerks office after they had been approved. That was the procedure of all checks with the exception of salary cheeks. During the entire year, I'm quite sure In, 1881, the controller began making out checks in his office.
 O. Did these things come within your personal knowledge as a re- suit of duties in the controllers of flce2
 A. Yes. The cheeks regularly is- sued prior to this time were sequence checks.
 @. Is this matter a matter of your own definite knowledge?
 A. Yes.
 e. Define to your own knowledge.
 Not Approved
 A. Well, I answered that checks were issued that were not approved by the board of finance.
 c. How did you know that?
 A. Because the procedure was the same then as now with regard to the payment of claims, and one step

the court, is the fact that only one court member, oierce Butler of Min nesota, comes from west of the Mississippi river.
 Sentiment of western senators who must pass upon the nominee, is strong for western man. Some legal circles also thought the add ing of western jurist to the bench was desirable. They contend that many legal questions passed upon by the court-irrigation. reclama- ton. public lands adn mining con- troversies--are peculiar to the west. Eastern judges have little exper- fence in this type of law.
 Sen. Ava B. Adams, D. Colo, voiced the sentiment of the western senators. He said he would renew representations to the White House. Other senators were understood to plan similar appeals. The western bloc did not mention the name of a specific candidate. Either Stephens or Bratton. 1t was believed, would be satisfactory to it.
 Might Be Controversy
 There was a possibility that the nomination of Schwellenbach would stir up another White House-Senate judiciary controversy. Schwellen- bach is in the senate bloc of 100 per cent New Dealers. While rules of senatorial courtesy in the past, ordinarily have virtually insured automatic confirmation of any sen- ator nominated to another office this tradition has lost prestige since the controversy following sen- ate confirmation of Sen. Hugo L. Black, D. Ala, MT. Roosevelt's first supreme court appointee.
 Black was confirmed after only routine debate in the senate. Later it was revealed that he had once been a member of the Ku Klux Klan and a powerful group of sen- ators determined at that time that all future supreme court nominees, whether senators or not, would be subjected to close inspection.
 The senate has shown hostility this session toward appointees with left-wing or ultra-liberal affilia- tions.

 City Manager Delay
 An effort will be made in the cities and boroughs committee to have the Waterbury city manager referendum delayed for some time, it was learned today. The committee on Thursday will hold hearing on the Citizens Good Government asso- ciation bill calling for referendum by the voters of Waterbury on the adoption or rejection of a city man. ager charter.
 | The bill to be heard Thursday calls for the referendum to be held three weeks after passage of the measure in the house and senate and signing by the governor.

SENATE SPENT 1s MINUTES

Hartford, Conn, Feb. l4.-UP)- The senate, in l2 minute session today, accepted unfavorable commit tee reports on bills which would pre- scribe scientific tests to determine the condition of persons accused of drunken driving, and imposing jail penalty of one year for attempting suicide.
 Other unfavorable reports sim ilarly treated called for biennial elections at New Britain, minimum penalties of 30 days to a year for drunken drivers, and relieving towns of responsibility for support of per- sons confined at state hospitals.
 Two favorable reports were tabled. One provided that the controller pay the board of children in county homes upon certiflcation by the state welfare commissioner and the other stipulated that paupers be re- moved to towns found responsible for their care.
