HARRIS TO SPEAK TO WELFARE UNIT
Several Other Local Off, cials Going to Hart-
 ford Tonight

Interest in recommendation of the committee of former Governor Wilbur L. Cross regarding legisla- tion to provide jurisdiction of the national social security board over aid to dependent children will be reason for attendance of several of- ficials of the Waterbury welfare de- partnient at meeting at Hartford tonight.
 William M. Harris, of Waterbury, executive secretary of Lincoln House, will be one of the speakers before the state chapter of the American Association of Public Welfare Work CTS which is for the purpose of con- sidering the proposal made by the former governors commitue:.
 The committee reported some weeks ago on various matters per- taining to legislation and welfare workers throughout the state are in favor of legislation to allow that jurisdiction over aid to dependent children devolve to the national so- cial security program.
 At present, there are several state, county and municipal departments which have partial jurisdiction but the authority is not uniform and overlaps, in some cases. This, it was estimated, would be obviated by a state statute transferring jurisdic- tion to the social security board.

will be at hand hopeful of seeing
the Terror get his. the headline
match will be between Jim Londos
recognized in Washington and sew
eral other Eastern spots as world
champion, and Tommy O'Toole,
