For many weeks folks have
noticed the Generals car speed
ing South on the Washington
Highway. Those who know him
not so intimately believed that
he was merely catching up on
National History! What's that
slogan: "know Your Nations
Capital?" But now | find that
the TOP Man has always been
an authority on United States
History and those trips to the
Beautiful Town on the Potomac
were for other purposes. The
Federal guys, hear, have given
him the green light.
All this long distance love
making has led me to believe
that those in Washington are
laying their plans inteIIigentIy,
fer the big push next year when
the ballots will carry the names
of candidates for President, U.
S. Senator and a Congressman.
And when these boys strut forth
to do battle with the G. o. p,
they want to avoid snipers. SO
what they've probably said to
the General was something like
this: "WeII, we expect Wash
ington County to be in there
swinging for good old Democ-
racy, so here's a new case of
dry Ammunition. And we're
told down here that you've done
more for the party up there in
the mountains than any other
guy. This plum tree is yours,
SO do your planting WELL"
So stand in line boys - and
please don't crowd. There's
gonna be room for all the
Faithful!
Yep! The General will soon
be on the March again! He has

Two Policemen Sue
For Salary Reinstatement

Officers David r. Thompson Of
College Park, Md, and Ralph S.
Warner, 1904 T street Sc, both of
the Metropolitan Police Depart
ment, brought suit in District Court
yesterday to compel the District
Commissioners to reinstate them at
their former salary as privates of
| class 3, S2,400 annually.
In the latter part of 1884 the two
policemen, accused before the Trial
Board of accepting a $40 bribe for
allegedly returning seized auto
mobile and liquor to a motorist. were
recommended for dismissal and later
dropped, officials recalled.
Through the law firm of Gardi-
ner, Earnest g. Gardiner the court
was told in the complaint filed
yesterday that each officer was get
ting S2,400 prior to dismissal. Sub
sequently the two policemen got
through Congress bill to reinstate
them, and they were placed back on
the force as privates of class l at
81 900 annually. They claimed that
perjured testimony had caused their
dismissal
The court was informed In the
complaint that the refusal Of the
District Commissioners to appoint
them now to class 3. so that their
s2,400 salary might be restored is
arbitrary, unreasonable and capri
cious and without legal authority.

Saving of five million dollars to the city of Waterbury would have resulted by adoption of the charter commission report back in 1850, Harold r. White, president of the Citizens Good Government associa- ton, maintained today in his annual report to members.
 And the basic proposals of that report, the city manager council form of government for Waterbury, proportional representation voting for the council, are among the mat ters now the definite program of the Good Government association, Mir White declares. This, following six months study of the various mat ters contained in the charter com mission report.
 Joke To Some!
 The Good Government association had no definite plan" was "a joke" to politicians, when 1t was founded year ago, the president relates.
 "Today your association has the respect of oil politicians for they know that your program is 0 fair one," his report cites.
 Complete text of the report fol- lows:
 To the Members of the Citizens
 Good Government Association:
 ftsis an honor to preside ct this first annual meeting of your asso- ciation. A year ago, small group of public spirited citizens met and started the movement that has gathered thousands and thousands of members and sympathizers dedicated to one cause-that Of honest and efficient government for the benefit of all the people of Waterbury.
 When your association was first formed 1t was c joke to the poli- ticians, who prophesied Q life of Q few months at the most. They could not understand that there might Do 6 group of citizens with no ax to grind, and with no thought of personal profit, who would labor for the general wel- kuEV VI tip SAtys ~ 70 " tuSV tAAtV today, one year after the found- ing Of your association, new heights of enthusiasm are being reached. The next four months should be the most active period you have had, for they should lead up to the referendum that will give the people of Waterbury Q chance to decide whether they want Q modern and efficient city manager charter.
 Respect of All
 Today your association has the respect of all the politicians for they know that your program Is c fair one. Where is the poli- tician who now wants to hurt his political future by telling the peo- pie of this city that they should not have Q chance to express themselves on this question of Q city manager charter9 I hope there are none who question the ability of the voters of this city to decide this question in an in- telligent manner.
 It is not necessary for me to 90 into detail as to what your asso- ciation has done during the past
