COUNTY AGENTS
 INSPECT FAIR
Roy E. Cross Represents New Haven County at
 Dedicatory Ceremonies

Roy E. Norcross, county agent, New Haven County, described the New York Worlds Fair 1889 as "the equivalent of college education with all the fun of a four-year va cation" after an extensive tour of the colorful $l56, 100000 exposition.
 MT. Norcross was one of 27 visit ing farm bureau heads from agri- cultural areas in Connecticut, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania from within a 100-mile radius of New York City who participated in special program of activities in connection with the observance of County Agents Day at the New York Worlds fair last Wednesday.
 These activities included luncheon at Perylon Hall, where the king and queen were entertained, Q trip through the Perisphere, inspection of the Electrified Farm, the new Ford baby tractor, the formal ded- ication of the fairs domestic Food Focal Exhibit, and other agricultur- al displays.
 "The fair is a magnificent specta- cle," asserted MT. Norcross, "and I know that farmers and city folks alike are going to profit from seeing the splendid exhibits on view here as much as have-and have a good time while they are adding to their knowledge and culture. People who miss this show are going to regret 1t because trip to the fair is worth a college education with all the fun of four-year vacation packed in, too.
 Its something that every agri- culturist should see if he doesn't want to be left out of the supper table conversation for the next few years"
 Other farm bureau heads among the group expressed similar enthu- siasm for the fair. Although most of them have been to the fair previous ly, they announced their intention of coming back many more times be- fore the exposition closes on October 31.

3O-Day Furlough At; End For Scores Of
 Waterbury Employees
NO Omclal Statement Issued Indicating Government fias Reversed Decision; Scores Applying for
 Relief From City Department

With today marking the end of the 30-day "furlough" period for the First group of local WPA workers dismissed as a result of new con- gressional laws, the city welfare de- pertinent today sent to WPA head quarters at New Haven a list of l75 local persons eligible for reemploy- ment on the WPA.
 Miss Grace White, supervisor of welfare, said she was hopeful that at least some of the group would be reinstated, thereby easing the city relief burden. Of the group, 140 are men and 35 are women.
 State WPA Administrator Vincent Sullivan has announced that the dismissals were permanent, not temporary. Miss White, however, is in hopes that sufficient funds be available to allow the WPA to rehire some of those dismissed.
 Approximately 400 local men and women were dropped from the WPA rolls July IA in the first dismissals resulting from the WPA curtail- ment program ordered by congress. All had been on the WPA for 18 months or more. Later from 200 to 300 others were dismissed in this city.
 Miss White said today that vir- tually all those who lost their WPA jobs have applied to the city welfare

Prominent COP. Worker Gets Seat in Courtroom
 Despite Objections

An altercation at the county court house this morning between deputy sheriffs and James "Jim" White, Re- publican party worKer, ended when State Police Commissioner Edward J. Hickey overruled the sheriffs and allowed White to take a seat in the courtroom.
 At 9:15 this morning, Chief De- putty Sheriff Daniel J. Callahan is- sued orders that no more conspiracy trial spectators were to be allowed into the county building. Some time later, White sought to enter and was halted at the door by De- putty Sheriff Frank Brickel.
 A spirited argument ensued, dur- ing which White claimed he was entitled to 8 spectators seat. De- spite Sheriff Brickel's protests he made his way upstairs to the court room. There, Deputy Sheriff Albert Francis also sought to enforce the ban against any more spectators.
 White then demanded ruling from the state police commissioner. MT. Hickey. who has been attend ing the trial daily even since his appointment July 1, upheld White, and allowed him to take seat in the courtroom.

"The happiest day I will ever experi- ence," declared Elliott, twill be the day that capital punish ment is wiped from the statute books, leaving me a man with out a job."
 Elliott who has ended the lives of 383 persons, including Bruno Richard Hauptmann, Ruth Snyder and Judd Gray, Is not troubled in conscience about them, he said. But he earnestly believes society whose justice he performs, should modify Its ife-for-a-life code.
 Describing some of his ex- periences as executioner, El- liott said in the article that of the hundreds who died by his hand, only one person went to the chair without fear - and that was g woman, Irene Schroeder, executed in 1881 for killing . policeman.
