Gems Good Government association

q meeting of the Russian-Ameri-
can Voters club. He repeated his
charge that Harold F. White, Good
Government president, has selfish
interest in the city manager char

Anthony Koban.

DEBISSCHOP AMONG
CRITICS OF PLAN
Prominent COP. Worker
Shared Spotlight With
Eddie UdelOwitz

Two men who have been cam
paigning against the city manager
plan are Edward Udelowitz and
Charles j. DeBisschop, both we'll
known in local politics for a good
many years.
Mr.. Udelowitz is a frequent writer
Of letters to local newspapers. He is
a keen student of city finances, and
knows more about them than many
supposedly better informed people
On number Of occasions he has
appeared before legislative commit
tees at Hartford to speak for or
against bills affecting Waterbury.
Charlie DeBisschop, the mayor Of
East Mountain. has been active in
the Republican party for many
years. He has no hesitation what
ever In speaking his mind, and dur
ing this campaign has made some
blistering comments against the
Citizens Good Government associa-
ton and the city manager charter.
Charlie Is also a frequent visitor 10

CULHANE LEADS
VALIANT FIGHT
State Senator Opposed to
Plan From Start; Organ.
lied Wide Opposition

The most active and effective op.
ponent Of the city manager charter
has been Senator George T. Gull
hane, veteran of many a politica.
war. He was the first to come out
publicly against the proposed char
ter; he has fought 1t with every re-
source at his command down to the
last possible moment.
Senator Culhane, who has beer
elected to the upper house of the
General Assembly three times anc
who almost captured the mayoralty
as Fusion candidate two years ago
Is risking his political future IN
fighting the city manager plan. But
defeat OF the city manager charter
cannot help but add considerably to
his political stature.
The senior senator from Water
bury has been an outspoken advo-
cate Of independence In politics. At
the legislature In Hartford, no GER
tain idea of his vote could be had
until after 1t was actually cast.
He has fought hammer-and- tongs
against the city manager plan, an6
has directed sharp attacks at his for
mer associates Of the Citizens Good
Government association. Charter
proponents charge him with play
ing politics, but observers close TO
him gather the impression that he
feels he is carrying the banner for
a glorious cause and that he objects
strongly and sincerely, on principle,
to the provisions of the proposed
charter.
In Hartford he battled with every
means at his command against the
charter referendum bill, basing his
stand on his claim that provisions
of the charter were unconstitutional
and so undemocratic that the char
ter was not worthy of submission to
the people of Waterbury. In this
stand, he had the active support,
strangely enough, of Senator Me-
hemiah Candee, old guard Republi-
can and an acknowledged expert on
constitutional questions.
The decision of the people of Wa
terbury at the referendum win have
an important effect on Senator Gull
hane's future in politics. But what
ever comes, the fiery Red Fox" of
local and state politics can be ex-
pected to remain an important fac
tor to be reckoned with In years TO
come.
The Waterbury Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1917-1946, 1939-10-02
BY RAYMOND J. FITZPATRICK
Democrat STAFF RepOrter)

The council-manager charter Of.
fered to the people Of Waterbury ha.
had long and involved history. Il
goes back almost 10 years, into an.
other political era: 1t goes into many
political bypaths.
1t was in 1880 that a special Wa
terbury Charter Commission made
a long and detailed investigation
into local affairs, with Griffenhager
& Associates, acknowledgement &C.
counting firm, aiding 1t. The commits
sion eventually produced bulky re-
port, which contained recommends
ed city manager charter.
When the matter went before the
legislature, that body decided instead
on a revision of the former Water
bury city charter. The outcome was
the STRONG mayor" charter of 1881
which, with minor amendments, has
been the city's governmental code for
the past eight years.
The cry Of "city manager" was
heard again early last year, and the
sponsorship, Of such a plan was
taken over by the Citizens Good
Government Association, newly
formed organization which was
formed originally to investigate city
finances.
Smedley Selected
The association designated Attor-
ney Frederic G. Smedley to draw up
a city manager charter. Mr.. Smedley
accordingly prepared a draft, large
ly based on the Griffenhagen char
ter Of almost decade ago. Water
bury's conspiracy trial was we'll I'M
derway when The Good Government
Association charter was submitted to
the General Assembly. In the house
1t was offered by Rep. Hugo Gausta-
ferri, nominally Democrat, but also
a member Of the board of governors
OF the Citizens Good Government
Association. In the senate 1t was
backed by Senator j. Howard Rob-
erts, Republican, of Thomaston.
Attached to the charter was a
provision calling for 1t to be ac-
cepted or rejected by the people Of
waterbury at special election on
the fourth Tuesday after its passage
and its signing by the governor.
The charter referendum bill, which
included the then text Of the char
ter, was referred to the cities and
boroughs committee.
Even before this, The Waterbury
Democrat exclusively published a
summary Of the provisions of the
proposed charter. Teachers found for
the first time that 1t provided for
