Objective Gained Through Death
And designations

With the appointment of the successor to the late
Associate Justice Pierce Butler President Roosevelt
will have named five of the Supreme Courts nine
members, all of whom may be depended upon to APP
prove New Deal measures however radical they APP
pear to the conservative citizens. Thus through
death and designations the President has attained
the objective sought when he unsuccessfuly attempt
ed to revamp the Court through legislation.
Justice Butler, of the courts conservative
members, born farm in Minnesota st.
Patrck's Day in 1886, the of Patrick and Mary
Butler Prior to his elevation to the Court in 1923,
he practiced law in this state, and was counsel in
numerous important railroad cases. in this country
and Canada He able jurist, who staunchy
upheld the traditional interpretations of the Consti
tuition distinguished from the liberal leanngs of
recent years.
Thus the third term suggestion has led some
people to fear dictatorship partial dictatorship
in this country. However Congress, in the mean
time, has become more conservative and 1t is thus
through Congress that government of balance
and counter-balance must continue. So the ship of
state may thus be kept even keel despite con-
tending forces of right and left" So after all,
the kind of government the people want will still be
in the hands of the people, where it placed
when the country was founded, and rededicated fol-
lowing the Civil War when Abraham Lincoln, in his
famous Gettysburg address said that government
of the people, by the people, for the people shall not
perish from the earth"

Charging that he and the leaders of his church had been placed "in an unfair light" Rev. Theodore C. Bobilin, pastor of the First Metho- dist church, issued a statement to- day explaining his connection with a public meeting sponsored by the Citizens Conference on Housing and Slum Clearance to be held tonight at the parlors of his church. MT. Bobilin declares that he became a member of the sponsoring commit tee through a misapprehension.
 The public meeting, however, will go on as scheduled at the parlors of the First Methodist church at 8:30 tonight, MT. Bobilin stating that no one either asked him to for bid the meeting or to issue any statement of explanation.
 Will Not Decide Yet
 T may stand by this new group when I hear what they have to say, or I may not" asserts the minister in his statement.
 In letters sent to scores of or ganizations in the city, the spon- soring committee included the names of MT. Bobilin and nine others. The other sponsors are Rev. Thomas Le- Roy Crosby, pastor of the South Federated church; Rev. Samuel C.. Johnson of St. PauPs Methodist Episcopal church; Rabbi William P. Greenfield Rev. StanislauS Blaze jowski, Mrs. Leila T. Alexander, Michael Russo, Edward H. Davis, Isaac Reed, Jr., and John J. Dris- coll.
 MT. Driscoll is a member of the Waterbury Housing Authority, of which William M. Harris is chair man. The board of aldermen a few days ago rejected a proposal by the authority for local housing project involving the erection of homes for 250 families on Chase avenue.
 A public hearing on the housing plan was held at Wilby high school last Friday night, and considerable opposition to the project was ex- pressed.

 Rev. MT. Bobilin's statement is as follows:

MA Plans Erection
 Of Seaplane Docks
Various Communities in Connecticut May Sponsor
 Plan to Promote Aviation Facilities Hartford First

Richard A. Barrett, state director for the National Youth Administra- ton, announced today that the MA is cooperating with aviation author ities in the construction of seaplane docks at suitable locations through out the state of Connecticut. A pro- ject has already been approved for the construction of one of these landings at Brainard Field in Hart ford. This dock will be the first of a type that the IVA is prepared to build for Connecticut municipalities and towns that desire them and are willing to cosponsor the projects.
 Barrett stated that this work is part of nationwide program devel- oped by the National Youth Admin istration in cooperation with the Civil Aeronautics Authority. The in- creased use of all types of air trans port has developed a need for sea- plane landing facilities to comple- ment the land airports now in exist ence. Surveys have been made in which transcontinental as well as coastwise seaplane routes have been designated.
 Because of its extensive coastline and many rivers. Connecticut pro- vides many excellent sites for the building of seaplare docks and a number of those will greatly improve the safety of aeronautics in this state.
 MT. Barrett added that the IVA state office has in its possession com plete plans for the construction of such floats and docks. These plans have been designed and approved by the CAA and are accompanied by supplementary data. A dock of the generally approved type consists of

MERIT SYSTEM
 PLAN IGNORED
Controller Rowland Subs scribes to Theory-More
 designations RumOred

Repeated rumors of additional resignations or dismissals from the staff of Controller Sherwood L. Rwoanld were heard today as Miss Helen Chipman, a new appointee, began her duties. The controller could not be reached for any com- ment on the situation.
 MT. Rowland has professed a merit" system in the office, but the latest job plum has gone to former secretary of Rowley w. Phillips, gen. eral manager and chairman of the board of the R. F. Griggs Co.,, in- vestment bankers. MT. Phillips is now under indictment by a federal grand jury on IA counts in connec- tion with the 21,000,000 McKesson and Robbins Co. scandal, and has retired from active participation in the brokerage firms affairs.
 Miss Chipman, secretary to MT. Phillips until his retirement, takes the place of Miss Elizabeth Robin son, of 50 Calumet street, who re- signed last week. Still to be filled is the place of Mrs. Beatrice A. Con- nor, who resigned Monday after de- claring that she had been subjected to insults in the office. v
 MT. Phillips, like MT. Rowland, has been prominent in local Republican politics. The merit" system in this instance apparently did not include the taking of any tests or the con- sideration of other applicant. for the position. At least, no notice of any merit" requirements was announced by the controller, who in his cam- paign two years ago decried the "spoils" system.
 MT. Rowland is seeking to fill the vacancies as quickly as possible, to avoid further political complica- tions of the type he has been en- countering since internal dissension in his office was revealed.
 The members Of the controllers staff for months have been working long overtime hours and have often had to be in the office during their time of" periods. Presumably they received no extra remuneration for this work.

 Easily Adjusted
 The docks can be made to suit the location. There can be either one, two, or three floats, as the size of the town or city demands. It is usu- ally best to place the landings near sites that have fueling facilities and are easily accessible. Several floats may be assembled to form a dock joined to the shore by a cat walk.
 The Connecticut IVA is prepared to prefabricate these floats in any of its work shops and then deliver them to the location for placement Alternatively, the component parts can be fabricated and assembled at the site.
 In Hartford, the floating dock is to consists of three j oined floats, measuring 10' to 22', with cat walk and a gang plank. The cost of materials to the city will be ap- proximately $7O0. The cost of a dock with single float, which will suf- flee for many locations, should not exceed $l00. The cosponsoring town or city furnishes the necessary ma terials; all labor is supplied by the IVA.
 Morris Approves
 Barrett believes that this work will enable many youth to gain valu- able experience in construction and carpentry, and will also stimulate their interest in aviation. Charles Morris, state commissioner of aero nautics, and a member of the IVA
