the alarm, which was rung in from Box 18l.
 In speaking of the fire the mar shal said today:
 This fire of last night at Ham, ilton park so-called, although in no way any part of the original gift of the Hamilton family, goes to prove again how vandalism flourishes throughout the land, and especially in the public parks of the city. Here is the City of Waterbury, paying handsomely annually for the up-keep of It's parks in order to provide places of peace and comfort for the young, and wholesome breathing spots for everybody in general. The Hamiltons were the first to start the idea, and since then various of our prominent families have followed along.
 This building, which these
 young men, unknown to us, at tempted to burn down, is historic in the manufacturing industry of Waterbury. It was built back many years ago, in the early days of the Waterbury Brass company, and at time when several hun dred factory hands were employed in and about this particular ter ritory. The building in question was known as factory where hand made copper kettles were hammered out, and then placed on the market fo laesrMb.- i on the market for sale. Nearby is the famous water wheel, which used to supply power for the fac- tory when 1t was in full bloom. Even years ago, an attempt was made to destroy this wheel, and apparently today, little effort IS made to preserve the wheel for posterity.
 "Of course 1t may be impossible for us to ferret out the ones who started this fire, but this we would like to do, for 1t was 8 mean and dastardly act, and one that should bring discredit and disgrace to the perpetrators. They were probably a smart lot of guys, who feel that public prop erty Is theirs as well as the city's and that they were just commit- ting an act of fun in their at tempt to destroy this old and his- toric structure, now used and properly so by the park depart- ment as a place of storage for its various machines and other equipment used out there.
 "These young men ought to be known, If such a thing is pos- sible, because if they will attempt to destroy a building of this kind in the dark, they will be apt to do it to a more prominent struc- ture, and probably to a place where people live.
 "The parks of the city cannot have too much police protection during the summer season, and especially during the night sea- son."

MRS. MORROW IS
 NOT ACANDIDATE

Northampton. Mass, Aug a. GU. P) - A columnist's prediction that Mrs. Dwight Morrow, mother-in-law of Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh, might be the next president of Smith College, was described as "groundless" at the college today.
 Dr. William Allan Nelson retires as president of the college Septem- Der 1 and as president of the trus- tees October IS.
 Miss Annetta I. Clark, secretary of the trustees, said that something like 100 candidates" were being con- sidered in the search for Dr. Nell sons successor. But she added:
 Mrs. Morrow is not among them.
 Miss Clark said that Mrs. Nor. row, as a member of the trustees, might serve as acting president of the college for a short time pending selection of Dr. Neilson's successor.

NEW LONDON MEN
 GIVEN DISCHARGE

Two New London men charged with obtaining goods by false pre- lenses were granted disch; rges after a hearing before Judge John L. Gaffney in city court today. The accused were W. Kenneth McKin- ney, 25. and E. L. Trombley 39, both of l52 Lincoln avenue, New Lon- don.
 The charge was based on a trans action with William Szerlip's Sons local roofing supply firm, the claim being that a fradulent check for $50.50 was issued by the accused The testimony brought out that the matter involved a complicated bus. mess transaction, and Judge Gaf- fney ruggested that the parties set- tie 1t among themselves.

Attempt To Destroy
 Old Brass Mill Evokes
 Statement Of Protest
ing Act of Incendiarism- -OiI-Soaked Rags Found; Park Equipment Also Threatened

Police today joined with Fire Marshal Den Lahey and his staff in seeking the incendiarists respon- sible for setting fire to the old Brass Mill, city landmark, on 1dylwood avenue in Hamilton park. Bremen quelled the blaze before any serious damage was done, but a large amount of valuable park depart ment equipment was threatened by the blaze.
 The marshal and his assistant, Lieut.. Eugene Legge, said that the fire was unquestionably set of by vandals. A pile of oil-soaked bar rel slaves was placed against door and lighted.
 A passerby turned in the alarm, and firemen directed by Deputy Chief Martin J. Camp.on, sped to the scene. Doors and part of the roof were burning when firemen ar- rived. Engine 5, the booster, Truck 3 and auxiliary bumper answered

WPA workers were stricken from the government rolls. Later ap- proximately 200 men were taken from the city welfare list and given WPA jobs.
 Veterans Exempt
 However, laws adopted by the re. cent congress require additiona! WPA dismissals, in addition to those made thus far. The only ones ex- emptied from the temporary" dis missals of last month were war veterans and those not on the WPA rolls for 18 months or more. Mem- bers of those two groups, however, will not be exempted when perma- nent dismissals are made, as required by the curtailment orders.
 A grave financial situation con- fronts the welfare department, ac- cording to Miss White. Even had the case load continued at it's normal peak, there would have been a deficit for the year, she said, but this new and unexpected burden caused by the dismissed WPA workers and their families will ne- cessitatemuch large expenditures by the welfare department.
 The finance board, and its econ- omy committee. have been making numerous economies in the current budget and have been earmarking the money saved for welfare pur- poses, but 1t is now feared that these sums will not be sufficient to carry the welfare department through the remainder of the year, in view of the new and increased demands for city aid.
 Interviews Necessary
 In addition to the 341 applications for welfare department help from former WPA workers thus far, Miss White said that scores of other ap- plicants have not yet been inter- viewed. Aid Is already being furn- ished in some cases, but general program cannot be arranged until the interviews of the applicants have been completed.
