STATE MOVES TO
 TRY MORAN AGAIN

Chicago, Jan. 2l - (UP) - The state lost It's first attempt last night to convict George (Bugs) Moran former Chicago gang chieftain, and two co-defendants on conspiracy charges in an alleged plot to forge and cash $600000 worth of travellers checks. Prosecutors immediately prepared to try them on more ser- ious charges in the same case.
 A criminal court jury acquitted Moran, Frankie Parker. one-time millionaire airplane bootlegger, and Frank Tickets, an ex-convict after deliberating less than four hours.
 Immediately after the verdict was announced, Assistant States Attor- rey Robert Wright said he would seek an early trial of all three on one or more of five other indict- ments which they still face in con. nection with the alleged scheme. He said they would be arraigned on the other indictments Monday.

ECAN MEASURE IS
 BASED ON MOORE'S
Elimination of Succession Taxes Sought--Similar
 Bill Now in Congress

Homes and home furnishings would be exempt from succession. Inheritance and estate taxes, under the terms of c bill introduced in the General Assembly at Hartford by Senator Edward P. Egan of this city. The bill is similar to Q measure prepared by Thomas P. Moore, trust officer of the Citizens and Manu- facturers National Bank, which is now before Congress ct Washington. Senator Egan's bill would make Mir. Moore's proposed measure effective In Connecticut.
 Passage of the bill, says Senator Egan, will act as stimulus to con- struction, unemployment and home ownership. He. says this view Is sup- ported by many persons with whom he has discussed the measure.
 A summary or the proposed states
 l. That the American Home which bears the great burden of local real estate taxation should be free of other taxation. particularly inheri- tance taxes.
 2. That the family of an Amer ican citizen should not have to pay Q tax in order to inherit and con- tinue to live in the family home after his death.
 3. That taxes should only be as- sessed against income-producing wealth. such as stocks, bonds, bus mess, rent-producing real estate and similar investments. The home

CONFLICT SEEN IN 2 MEASURES
 FOR THIS CITY
City Manager Plan, Civil Service Reform Sought
 From Legislature

Portions of the bill presented in the General Assembly in behalf of the Waterbury Merit System chap ter which would provide a merit system government here were caus- ing comment In Waterbury today, One aspect of the bill which created discussion was It's apparent conflict with the Citizens Good Government associations projected plan for the referendum to change Waterbury's government to the city manager council type,
 The merit system plan providing for appointment Of 6 civil service commission of Ave persons, no more than three of whom can be mem- bers of any one political party, none of whom may hold public or politi- cal office otherwise. The mayor sub- ject to c majority of the board of aldermen, would make the appoint- ments for one to hve-year terms of the Ave commissioners, replace the commissioners as their terms eXs. pired,
 Members of the commission can not even hold membership In pos litieal club or be candidate for any elective public office. They may be removed by the mayor for mis- feasance, nonfeasance or partisan activity while in office, after Q hear ing before the board Of aldermen and upon approval of tho charges by c majority of the aldermen,
 The board would take mayoral powers of appointment by naming Q personnel director who would have power of appointment of exam. iners, clerks, Investigators, assist. ants, in classified services.
 The difference between classified" and "unclassified" service is the dif- ference between elective officials, members of city eommissoins ssrv ing without pay, members Of the board of public works, the corpora ton counsel, assistant corporation counsel, deputy registrars of voters, one secretary to the mayor, Superin- tendent of schools, election officials

NEW ARCHBISHOP FOR N. Y.IS NEAR
Appointment of Successor to Cardinal Hayes Will
 Be Made Soon

Vatican City, Jan. 2i-(uP)-Ap. pointment of Q new archbship of New York in succession to the late Patrick Cardinal Hayes Is imminent, church circles suggested today.
 A prominent American ecclesias- tic said: .
 We will know about the appoint. ment only when an official com fnunique is Issued. We believe 1t is imminent but the Vatican knows how to keep such matters secret"
 Reports are increasing that the pope intends to hold a consistory next month to name new cardinals For almost i've months. the names of several prominent United States prelates have been mentioned as the most likely to succeed Cardinal Hayes.
 A careful canvass by the United Press to eliminate the less likely, re- suited in this list:--
 Bishop stephen J. Donahue Of New York.
 Archbishop Edward A. Mooney of Detroit.
 Archbishop John T. McNicholas of Cincinnati.
 Archbishop Thomas J. Walsh Of Newark. N. J.
 Archbishop Joseph F. Rummel of New Orleans. i. ttf tYtV
 The survey indicated that the chances for the appointment, which incidentally would mean 6 potential cardinalship as well, stand about iii the order named, with Archbishop Mooney perhaps almost even with Bishop Doi1ahue. ll .lt.N h
 Church ofiiciais say the pope is particularly anxious to i'll the vacancy but Is proceeding with caution because of the cardinalate involved.
 Whereas few months ago the name of Auxiliary Bishop Francis J epellman of Boston was among the names of candidates, that iB nc longer true because 1t is believed Vatican ofiicials have agreed that Mgr. spellman Is too valuable in hif present post.

OKLA. SENATE HAS
 DESERTED GOV.

Oklahoma City. Jan. 2i--tUP)-- Oklahomas Senate virtually de- serted Gov. Leon Phillips today In his dispute with the federal govern- ment over states right"
 It informed Congress that "the state contours in the governments 's flood control policy and wants no appropriations halted except those affecting the Red River dam."
 Phillips had protested against the governments plan to build and pay for the $64,000 900 flood control and power project below Durant, Okla, on the grounds that the state had not been considered, and that < would involve relocation of transs mission lines and transportation routes at an inconvenience to the state.
 He protested, as did Republican Gov. George D. Aiken of Vermont last week, that the government was violating states rights by building flood control projects without the consent of the states involved.

City Managers Powers Would Be Sweeping
Plan Proposed By Good Government in Legislative Bill Creates Official With More Powers Than Mayor
 Under Charter; Mayor Would Be But Fgurehead
By RAYMOND ]. FITZPATRICK (Demcrat Legislative Reporter)

State Capitol, Hartford, Jan. 2i-- Powers far broader than those now held by the mayor of Waterbury under the "strong mayor charter would be vested In the city manager under the terms of the eouncil- manager form of government pro- posed by the Citizens Good Govern ment Association. The proposed new charter would eliminate many present city boards and depart- ments, make the mayor Q virtual nonentity and establish . drastic reorganization of the entire city government.
 Bills calling for referendum on the proposed charter and setting up an administrative code for opera. ton of the charter were filed here this week by Rep. Hugo duastafefri The bills were filed in blank form, the texts of the proposed charter and administrative code not being submitted, but their provisions were learned today by The Democrat.

The city manager would be appointed by the city council to hold ofiice for an indefinite term, and may demand Q public hearing If removed.
 The manager would be tho chief administrative and executive oflcer of the city government, and in charge of the city's affairs. His actions of administration could not Do interferred with. '
