to an individual not known by the
people or chosen by them and very
likely an outsider. More power will
be put in his hands than even the
much criticized strong mayor char
ter put In the hands of Frank Hayes.
The city manager will run the city
but will not be responsible to the
people. His term of office is in
definite. He cannot be removed ex-
cept by the council which must
show first sufficient cause for his
removal.
The people can win. The Com
munist party realizes that our people
face a difficult situation. We want
to see them firmly united behind a
progressive program that will bene-
fit them, restore confidence and win
unanimous support.
Not the city manager plan but a
peoples program is what Water
bury needs. The Republican sup
ported plan is a scheme to forever
shut the door upon progressive and
democratic government. What we
need is to make democracy work for
the welfare of the great majority
making our city the stronghold of
clean, honest and progressive gov
eminent.
The job before us in this election
is to clean out from the political
life of our city all remnants of graft
and corruption; to put the COM
mon welfare of the peaple above
narrow sectarian interests. We be-
lieve that the organizations of labor
and the people have it within their
power to win this election. What is
needed to make the peoples power
felt is for the trade unions, AFL
and CLIO, the fraternal societies, the
national group organizations, all to
unite on program of civic better
ment. Through the independent
unity of the people progressive can
didates should be put forward who
stand committed to a peoples plat
form of progress.

about aldermen acting as select
men? Does it, Mr.. White?
Does that section of the con-
stitution say anything about the
city clerk being the town clerk?
OF course not. Many of our towns
which are not cities have no city
clerk. But every city and town
In the State of Connecticut has
town clerk. Every town and city
in this state has selectmen. Isn't
that true, Mr.. White?
isn't it logical to assume that
If the State Constitution intended
that aldermen should act as sell
ectmen and the city clerk should
act as the town clerk, the con-
stitution would have SO provided.
Isn't that true, Mr.. White?
ARTICLE 10, Section 2 of the
State Constitution as amended
and adopted in 1905 provides that
each town shall, annually or BIZ
ennially, as the electors of the
town may determine, elect select
men and such officers of local po-
lice as the law may prescribe.
Consider how the law set forth in
the State Constitution and the
law proposed in the City Manager
Charter conflict. Section SO of
the City Manager Charter, De-
partment of Law provides that
the corporation counsel shall APP
Y10iT1t cIInh r11lY1oher nf o0,,cfo lioc
as in his opinion may be neces-
sary, who shall be subject to all
provisions of law relating to town
constables.' Would it not be pos
sible, Mr.. White, under this Sec
ton of the City Manager Charter
for the corporation counsel to APP
point number of ccnstables
equal to our present police force
What Is your answer, Mr.. White?"

in Present Campaign.

'It's class war in Waterbury with
no holds barred" declares the
Bridgeport Times-Star in discuss
ing the city manager controversy
in Waterbury. The paper, in its
column, "Wailing Wall by F. j.
@. Crank j. Quinlan, veteran
legislative reporter), says that the
charter fight has the town split
wide open = It's the silk stock
ings against the low brows."
The column goes on to assert
that the city manager charter is
loaded with trick phrases" that
it was not even read by any OF
the members of the state senate,
and that Socialists Senator Audu-
bon Secor, chairman of the cities
and boroughs committee, "was de-
termined to ram it down Senator
Culhane's throat"
Vote Socialist!
It is asserted that Senator Sc
cor fought for the bill because Sem
ator Culhane, who opposed it,
was active in blocking Mayor Nc
Levy's Bridgeport school board
bill. The columnist declares that
the Socialists are hoping that the
charter will be beaten. so that the
Bronson and Bakers might get
Indignant enough to vote the So
cialist ticket"
The column follows:
Any basic revolutionary move
ment operates on the divide and
rule" theory.
That may have been the
thought behind Senator Audubon
j. Secor's forcing Senator George
T. Culhane to accept the proposed
Waterbury city manager charter
at the last session of the legisla-
ture.
If it was, it's certainly produc-
ing results. The charter fight in
Waterbury has the town split
wide open. It's down to cases, If
the Waterbury Republican is to
be believed. The fight now Is be-
tween "the Bronsons and the
Bakers to the exclusion of the
Lombardis and the Sincavages.
It's the silk stockings against
the low brows.
Naturally the Lombardis and
the Sincavages are going to vote
against the charter, while the
Bronsons and the Bakers are 60

Valley Ford, Cal. (UP)-This city

buns were donated by leading citi-

Harry B. Post of the board
of education issued public state
ment today on the present setup Of
members of the school department
as well as the future setup If the
City Manager Plan should be en-
dorsed next Tuesday in the sched-
uled special election. Commission
er Posts statement is as follows:
"As a member of the Board of
Education, have decided to keep
out of the City Manager Charter
campaign. Of course, I had
made up my mind how I intended
to vote, but felt that I should not
present my views to the public.
I'm view of some of the gross
Misrepresentation concerning the
school system under the City Man
ager Charter, however, I now feel
it my duty to speak out in denial
of some of the more fragrant
charges that are being made by
opponents of the City Manager
Plan.
I'm the newspapers of Monday,
I see that one of the leading OPP
ponents of the City Manager Char
ter charges that the school system
hereunder would be controlled by
a dictator. It has also been
charged that the school teachers
would be subject to the jurisdiction
of the personnel director and the
city manager. I have read the
proposed charter and the proposed
administrative code, and I en-
phatically deny these charges.
About the only change made
by the City Manager Plan is in
the reduction of the number of
members of the board of education
from nine to seven-and their
nomination by petition, and cleo
ton by proportional representa-
ton. The school system would
continue to be under the exclusive
jurisdiction of the board of educa-
ton. incidentally it is not now
completely under the jurisdiction of
the board of education, for the
present charter makes the mayor
the president of that board, and
gives him the power of veto0
In regard to the teachers being
under the jurisdiction of the city
manager and the personnel direc-
tor, the charge is absurd. Sections
48 and 40 of the proposed admin
istrative code state specifically
that the teaching service shall be
under the superintendent of schools
and the board of education.
ct advise the teachers and the
public to beware of loose state
ments made for political pur-
poses"
