Baldwin May Make
 Court Appointments
Governor Will Name Two Local Judges Unless Judi-
 ciary Committee Reaches Agreement

were made, beside Waterbury, in- cluded those at Torrington, Meriden Newtown, New Milford, Stamford and others.
 Democrats appear confident that Gov Baldwin, the appointments at Waterbury go to him, will give one of the two Waterbury places to a Democrat. The present incumbents are Judge Edward Mascolo, Demo- crat, and Judge Theobald E. Con- way, Republican.
 disappointment of Judge Conway is expected, though a number of other Republicans have been ac- lively seeking the position. Judge Mascolos chances are not consider ed as good, but he is by no means out of the running. Senator George T. Culhane has been booming At torney William K. Lawlor for the Democratic appointment, while the names of Attorney Vincent Scu1ly and others have been mentioned.
 Changes in the judges will mean a change in the Waterbury city court personnel, with Republicans plan ming to claim a major share of the plums. There are numerous candi- dates for the pests of prosecutors, clerk, assistant clerk and probation officers.

BY EDWARD J. RYAN

The state of Connecticut is wit messing another evil smelling judge ship deal" A deal on which the legislators could not agree in many cases but a "deaI which has the same trading aspects that all other deals of this sort include.
 In the last days of this hectic ses- sion of the legislature, with the General Assembly about to sing its swan song, the "boys" in the legis- lature have tied up the workings of the General Assembly so that they might be able to take care of their friends and their constituents. For gotten is the welfare of the state and forgotten is the welfare of the voter. For there are spells to be got ten out of the minor courts of the state of Connecticut, spells for the asking, so long as you ask often enough.
 Hectic Meeting
 Last night into the long hours of the night members of the judiciary committee sat together and discussed first the name of one prospective judge then another. First one name was written down, only to be erased 8 moment later and another sub- stituted. And as those legislators sat together one thought was upper most in their minds .. jobs jobs and more jobs.
 Finally the committee brought out a slate of judges, a slate that failed to name judges for IA of the minor courts in the state. Waterbury with a population of one hundred thou sand people was one of the cities left out of the "deal."
 The legislators refused to agree or either Mascolo or Conway. Instead they passed this "hot potato" onto the governor; thereby placing Gov ernor Baldwin. on the well known spot.
 Some day in the not far distant future it might be that a session o1 the Connecticut General Assembly will make it possible for the supreme court to make appointments to oul minor courts and until that happens the people of this state can always expect these foul" smelling deals to be made.
 The Democrats originally asked for eight county commissioners ane as I told you last week they would only get five of them. They got five county jobs.
 The court set-up in Waterbury is going to undergo vast changes. Re. member this is another of my pre- dictions. The members of the judi. ciary committee could not agree or the reappointment of Judge Edward J. Mascolo in fact Mascolo had lit tie real support among the member! of the committee. A recent vote o1 the committee showed this to be true Hugh M. Alcorn Jr., Republican flool leader is definitely not one of Mas. colo's supporters. I pick Mascolt NOT to be reappointed.
 Judge Conway in Fight
 Judge Ted Conway is fighting thu fight of his life and well he mus realize 1t. Despite rumors to tn, contrary Conway has only little sup port among the members of thu committee. This comes somewhat O 6 surprise to many. people in Wa terbury since it has been assumed

Both boards voted to finance the paving work by transferring a balance of $Ss,72S.64 remaining in the Baldwin street paving appropria- tion and transferring the sum of $27,000 from the Bank Street paving appropriation. The 1000 was to be used for necessary under ground work on Bank street, but that is now to be done as WPA project, leaving the money available for transfer to the Hamilton avenue paving item.
 The new roadway will connect with the Waterbury, New Haven highway through Prospect. The sec- ton of this road from Prospect to Waterbury is now being paved by the state highway department.
 The $113,000 appropriation was first voted by the board of finance, then approved last night by the all dermen.
 Acting Controller Purcell declared that Hamilton avenue should only be resurfaced and held that the work should be done by the state department, since provision for re- surfacing of the street was made in the 1889 budget.
 Commissioner John H. Goss pointed out that if the paving work is done by contract, the amount for resurfacing, as provided in the bud- get, can be encumbered for other purposes. A vote in favor of such encumberance was passed by the aldermen at their subsequent ses- sion.
 Paving of Hamilton avenue had been recommended by the board of public works, and Commissioner Goss said: T think this board would be remiss if it didn't accede to the recommendation of the board of public works. It will make for econ- omy."
 When Chairman Patrick Perriel- To called for a vote on the paving plan, MT. Purcell cast the only "No" vote.
 The aldermen, at their meeting, approved the project by an unani- nous vote, after specifying that the $113,000 was to be used not only for paving but also for installing the necessary underground ap- purtenances."

Ldgeship Battle
 Results h '.Deal''

, that Conway would be agreed upon with little difficulty. I pointed out three weeks ago that Conway was weak, the fact that the committee could not agree on his name proves again that I was right.
 On the other hand Charles Sum- ma has more support than was an- ticipated. Most of this support comes from Senator Anthony Rich, Repub- lican floor leader, Senator Charles Arrigoni, president pro-tem of the state Senate and Attorney General Francis T. Pallotti.
 Senator Rich has been making a valiant fight for Summa and I ex- pect Rich to carry this battle into the office of the governor.
 Attorney Vincent Scully is being mentioned as a possible judge of the city court. This, from all indica- tions, will not happen, but it appears that Scully has his eye on one of the jobs as city court prosecutor.
 Should this happen Attorney Frank Healey, well known as one of Waterbury's leading lawyers and recognized as an impartial prosecu- tor, might step aside.
 More Changes
 Mitchell Meyers, Republican prose- cutor is slated to go.
 At least one of the probation of- ficers will go.
 But getting back to the deals to those who have watched the pres ent session spend itself with little real progress it must be admitted that the credit for what progress has been made must be laid in the lap of Governor Baldwin. The governor has done a remark able job with leading Connecticut's first unbossed General Assembly. But here again Baldwin has shown the same courageous fight that he showed during his campaign. A fight that won for him and his party thousands and thousands of loyal supporters.
