This question was posed at a meet

possesses the best arms, but few are
produced. The colonel, referring to
the recent Plattsburg maneuvers

Colonel Rice praised the effective

LINER BREMEN IS
AGAIN REPORTED

New Orleans. Sept. 22-CUP)-
Baron Edgar Won Spiegel, German
consul general, said today the liner
Bremen was safe at the Russian port
of Murmansk on the Arctic. A spe-
cial correspondent for the Italian
newspaper La Stampa, he said, had
interviewed crew members at the
port.
Won Spiegel, a World war U-boat
commander said that after the
Bremen left New York August 80,
the captain opened sealed orders de-
failing instructions to be followed in
event OF war. The vessel was cam
Oufiaged at sea and carefully avoided
the customary routes of transatlantic
liners. He said it crossed the North
Atlantic, moved eastward through
the Denmark straits, steamed north
Of Ireland and reached the Arctic
ocean. 1.-THE Bremen required IL
days to outmaneuver enemy war
ships In its brilliant dash to Muir

|GALULLO WARNS
| POLICY WRITER'S
ViOlatOrs of Law May Ex-
pect No Leniency in Fu-
ture Cases Here

Prosecuting Attorney Michael J.
Calullo today warned policy writer's
to make no misunderstanding as to
the possibility and probability Of
what would happen should further
violations be brought to the atten-
ton Of the court"
The prosecutors's public warning
came after Frank Curt, 54, Of 266
Walnut street, and Joseph Ruscitto,
81, of 20 Branch street, pleaded
guilty to charges, respectively, Of
writing and possessing policy slips.
Judge John L. Gaffney fined Curt
$25 and costs and suspended sem
tence In the case Of Ruscitto.
Prosecutor Galullo said in part:
'This case is the second of its
kind and character since July /. The
court has been lenient, and with
that policy Qeniency) the state has
no quarrel, Of course. However, poll
icy must be done away with In this
community. There is going to be no
writing, and no playing of policy,
and the sooner that is realized by
the gentry involved, the better off
the community will be.
This is a type Of situation which
lends itself more or less, and has
in the past, to the same sort of
thing as obscene and indecent liter
allure. Complaint has been brought
to my attention, and I make this
statement publicly so that there may
be no misunderstanding as to the
possibility and probability of what
would happen should further viola
tons be brought to the attention
Of this court"
Curti and Ruscitto were arrested
yesterday by Lieuts. Patrick Moylan
and Ernest Pakul Of the vice squad.

Culhane Continues
Anti-Manager Fight
Repeats Accusations Manufacturers Directing Cam
paign Here to Obtain Control of City Government

Senator George T. Culhane in a
radio talk last night renewed his
attack on the city manager charter
and the sponsors of the Citizens
Good Government Association. He
asserted that the storm troopers"
in the city manager campaign
have subordinate positions in our
factories" and are men anxious to
please the higher-upS."
He repeated his claim that local
manufacturers are the leading back
ers Of the proposed new charter,
and said that men who earn their
living by the sweat of their brow
are not in the inner circle"
Super Government
The charter was denounced as "a
brand of super-government" i'm
ported from the West and being
campaigned for by paid politician"
from out of the city and state.
The Good Government Associa-
ton, the speaker said, is Boosting
that the charter will be approved by
a large margin and that the storm
troopers are Boosting that they will
take Waterbury like Hitler took Po-
land"
He again attacked the charter as
being contradictory, unweildy and
n-democratic, and pointed out that
he was being made the basis of per-
sonal attacks to obscure the real is
sue.

humbly seeking the public'S support,
rather than demanding 1t, how will
they be when they are ruling the
city?
Between now and October 3rd you
will witness one of the greatest po-
litical campaigns ever seen in this
city. Good Government advocates
will run over the town like cloud
of locusts. Everywhere a man goes
he will be collared by the Brothers
of the Right. The telephone will
poster the housewife-the radio will
break your ear drums-the mail will
be loaded with propaganda and the
war in Europe will be virtually
pushed off the front page by the
storm troopers of the GOO GOO
AS last big push. You will be able
to take comfort in neither restaur-
ant or at home. When you walk IN
the park you will be forced to hide
behind trees to escape the attack.
There will be special messages to all
kinds of groups. The butcher and
baker, the teacher, the fireman, the
policeman, the laborer, the skilled
workman and the professional man
will all receive special attention
from the paid propagandists from
the Middle west and Mr.. White!
For each group there will be a spe-
cial stick of candy. The City Man
agership will be all things to all
men, women and children-and
maybe for the special brand Of blue
tongued elbows owned by the Good
Government members.
And when it is all over, I main
tain that the great majority Of the
voters of the city of Waterbury will
still have no comprehensive or def
mite idea as to what it is all about
Again I charge that the city man
ager and proportional representation
type of government is undemocratic
unconstitutional, cumbersome ane
designed to lend itself to the ma
nipulation of the small group d
hackers who are the only one:
familiar with its int,icacies. Agar
charge that the manufacturers Of
Waterbury are behind it. If yor
don't believe me, look over thu
storm troopers. A large percentage
of them have subordinate positions
in our factories. There are few
If any mill hands. Men who carr
their living by the sweat Of Their
brow are not In the inner circle
The storm troopers are the white
collar chaps anxious to please the
higher-ups.
There are just one or two points
I want to make before closing. The
first is that you as a citizen Of Wa
terbury should not vote for the City
Manager Plan unless you know all
about 1t: The second is that you
will not know all about it begore
election day unless you take special
course of study and, as recent
speaker said, go out under an
apple tree for IL days and read the
City Manager charter over twelve
times and then you will not know
any more about 1t than when you
startedp Remember that. Don't
buy a pig in bag. If you know
all about the City Manager plan on
election day and 1t is all right to
your mind, I say - Go ahead and
vote for it! But predict that you
will enter the booth as befuddled and
troubled about the whole affair on
election day as you are now. And
If that is the case, then beware
You can't afford to knock the props
from under our democratic form OF
in these perilous days
when dictators are springing up an
over the world. We don't want
dictator In waterbury. We don't
want to have q man on horseback

Firen1e11 Burned,
Woz,aan's Mistake

Naugatuck, Sept. 22.-The
tranquil somnolence of the fire
house was shattered Wednesday
afternoon by the shrill Of .
telephone. An excited voice said
"Come up to my house right
away" and gave the address,
then abruptly the connection
was closed
Sirens shrieked as the fire
department equipment sped
across Maple street to High
street. A few minutes later the
firemen were returning, SILENT
ly this time, to the fire house.
The woman had called the fire
department by mistake, she
wanted the Conn. Light and

ganization, and "a remain on the
active list. Most Of the latter join
ed the organization quite recently.
Men OF 40 Years
Membership in Forty Plus Is re-
stricted to men forty years or older
of bona fide executive experience,
who are now unemployed or who
may be for the time being engaged
in work other than that for which
they are best fitted. There are no

ship, the only other requirement be-
ing that the member must give a
definite amount of his time to the

well qualified executives in all lines
of business, living In all parts of
the state Of Connecticut. There are

ance and many others.
Forty Plus methods are getting re-
suits, and to date more than hun
dred available job openings have
been uncovered in Connecticut, in
GLIDING wide variety of executive
positions. Forty Plus job-hunting
technique is based on the premise
that under no circumstance does a

self individually when canvassing
prospective employers for the or

ledge that whatever the job may be,

ton in question and then arranges
actual interviews for only those
members whom the employer se-
lects as properly qualified for the
