 London, Jan. 10-Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain's policy of ap- basement of dictatorS in an effort to dissolve the dangers of war in Europe entered its crucial phase to- day as he left for Rome to visit Benito Mussolini.
 Chamberlain's visit is the fourth he has made to the dictators in three months.
 Upon the results depends the fu- ture orientation of Chamberlain's appeasement policy. If Chamberlain finds Mussolini obdurate upon the question of continued Spanish civil war intervention and effectivation of the British-Italian friendship agreement, it is a foregone conclu- sion that Chamberlain's policy to- ward the dictators will swing sharp ly toward a stiffer attitude as re- gards continued concessions.
 Since the Munich conference at which Czechoslovakia was dismem- bered, Chamberlain has gradually rapidly in the last month-lost pa- tience because of the dictators' lack of response to his appeasement policy.
 In public speeches and private conversations, he has pretty clearly

City Good Govt. League Gov. Baldwin
Solicit His Support Calling for Referendum in Water bury for Establishment of City Manager
 Form of Government
By RAYMOND J. FITZPATRICK
 Democrat LegiSlatiye Reu0rterl

State Capitol, Hartford, Jan. 10- Representatives O. the Waterbury Good Government Association have approached Governor Raymond E. Baldwin and solicited his support for the proposed bill calling for a public referendum in Waterbury on the es- tablishment of a city manager form of government, it was learned by The Democrat today.
 It was also understood that Gov ernor Baldwin had given these rep resentatives complete assurance of his support for the measure.
 Under the terms of the proposal the voters of Waterbury would de- eide for or against the city manager form of government in a special election to be held four weeks after passage of the bill and signing by the governor. The measure has not as yet been introduced in either the Senate or House, but Rep. Hugo L.. Guastaferri said today he would in troduce 1t in the House "by request" !" Seems to Be Sure
 IT the plll has the support or Gov ernor Baldwin and Republican mem- berS of the Senate and House, 1t seems certain of adoption. However public hearings will be held on the bill at Hartford and it is certain that strong opposition will be voiced by many organizations and individuals from Waterbury.
 The Good Government association is at present conducting campaign to raise SIS, ,000 witt which to finance its activities. Its city manager plan calls for adoption of a new city charter based on the proposed 1880 charter with few revisions. The 1930 charter which failed of adop- ton called for city manager-council form of government.

CULHAM, WHELAN
 IN SIMILAR BILLS
Bingo Legalization Sought By Both; Culhane Bill
 Aims at Mayor Hayes
BY RAYMOND J. FITZPATRICK Democrat LegiSlatiye Reporter)

State Capitol, Hartford, Jan. 1O- Practically duplicate bills calling for legalization of bingo were intro- duced in the Senate and House today by Senator George T. Culhane of Waterbury and Rep. Martin J. Whal- en of Wolcott.
 All such games or similar ones of chance, if conducted by churches or charitable organizations for welfare work. would not be considered gam bling.
 Senator Culhane's bill stipulates that the playing of certain games for the benefit of any church or charitable organization for the re- lief of the poor shall not be consid- cred gambling. Playing any amuse- ment game or device for which not more than 25 cents is charged shall not be considered gambling, if no money prize or article in excess of $25 is given as prize and providing the receipts be useG by churches or religious organizations for the re- lief of the poor.
 Rep. Whalen's bill was in skeleton form but virtually provided for the same type of law-approved games of chance, when the purpose was considered worthy one.
 Aims At City Officials
 Senator Culhane also introducted several other bills, one of them re- garded as a move against Mayor Frank Hayes and possibly other of- ficials of the City of Waterbury. This bill says any employe of any city or town who receives compen- sation as an employe or elected of ficial shall not receive such salary while indebted to such city or town if such employe is more than 30 days delinquent in taxes.
 The Waterbury senator also dupli- cated Rep. Daniel J.. Mahaney's effort of other years by bringing in a bill calling for scent bus fares within city or town limits.

Adoption of Separate Committees, Rules in
 Both Houses Swamped
CULHANE ACCUSED OF
 BREAKING PROMISE
Senator Culhane Argued Work of Senate, House
 Would Be Speeded Up
BY RAYMOND J. FITZPATRICK Democrat Legislative Reporter)


 Democrat Legislative Reporter)
 State Capitol, Hartford, January 10. Senator George T. Culhane of the 18th Senatorial District, Waterbury, emerged today as the leader of a new minority bloc within the Democratic members of the Senate. Although the Democratic organization strongly sup ported the move for adoption of separate committees and rules in both the Senate and House as was dono in 1895, the Republicans suc- ceeded in having joint rules adopted thanks to the votes of Senator Gull hane, two other Democrats, and the two Socialists.
 Turing the discussion, of adop- ton of joint or separate rules Sem 'atoT John L. Sullivan of New Bri- tain charged "inferentially" that Senator Culhane had broken 8 promise given at Democratic cau- GUS, Q month ago. Until a few moments ago." said Senator Sullivan. T thought every Democrat would support this reso- iution as we promised to do in cau- GUS a month ago"
 Senator Culhane rose a point of order and Lieutenant Governor James L. McConaughy, presiding officer over the Senate, instructed Senator Sullivan to confine himself to the question at hand.
 The Democratic resolution, calling for separate committees and rule was then defeated. 21 to IA. The two other Democrats, joining Sena- tor Culhane, were Senator Samuel Malkan of New Haven, and Senator Thomas F. Stammers of Torring- ton. Immediately thereafter the resolution calling for joint rules and committees was adopted.
 During the Senate discussion Senator Cuhane paid high tribute to "my friend, Jasper McLevy." Pointing to the fact that 166,000 people voted for hmi in Connecti- cut, he said, Mir. McLevy is a credit to Bridgeport and the State of Connecticut. Those who voted for him and his ticket thought they were voting for independent legis- lators."
 Senator Culhane then argued that the work of the General Assembly would be speeded up by joint com- mittees and rules and complained of the slowness of routine at the session two years ago when separate
