Scramble for Two Positions in Controllers Office On;
 designations Blamed to Dissension

The scramble for the two vacant jobs in the office of Controller Sher- wood Rowland was on today, with names by the dozen being advanced for the coveted plums. AS if the controller did not have enough trouble trying to keep his office family happy" he was being but tonholed by and on behalf of de- serving political henchmen.
 Open dissension among members of the controllers staff is respon- sible for the vacancies. Miss Eliza beth Robinson, head bookkeeper, and Mrs. Beatrice A. Connor, steno- grapher and bookkeeper, both re- signed, Mrs. Connor charging in her letter of resignation that she had been obliged to accept - insults , The resignations were admitted by Controller Rowland last night, after news of both had been published in The Democrat.
 The resignations may have an important effect on the political fortunes of Controller Rowland, par ticularly his mayoralty ambitions. Both women have many friends, and both are related to men prominent in the citys political life.
 For months, according to reports, employees of the controllers office have been having difficulties with James P. Purcell, chief city account ant Man Friday to MT.

PUPILS TO SHOW
 STATE ART WORK
Display in Progress at Federal Art Gallery in
 New Haven

New Haven, April 19-A statewide showing of art work by students in- structed by two Federal Art Project instructors and six instructors from the WPA Education and Recreation Projects, is now in progress at the Federal Art Gallery, 63 Dwight street New Haven. It includes 53 pictures from almost as many aSpirants whose ages range from 16 to 70 years. For most of them it is their first attempts.
 The mediums are oil, water color, pencil, crafon and charcoal with a preponderance of oils. Subject mat ter is ships and the sea, still life, portrait studies, landscapes, genre and one dog picture.
 Arthur Elders class in NorWalk shows the most finished application of paint. Boys at the Connecticut Junior Republic in Litchfield under the tutelage of Spencer Nichols ex- hibit the greatest freedom in design and originality of treatment. Jerome Stavola's students in Hartford pre- sent individuality, sometimes clash ing with the art canons, neverthe- less sincere.
 Michael Russo's class in Water bury have presented well composed pictures with pleasing color com- binations. w. P. Austin in Milford has developed his students sense of color and movement; Leon Girard in Putnam to more studied pre- sentation of portraiture. A large portrait produced by one of his stu- dents shows quite a remarkable un- derstanding of the character she painted. Salvatore DeMaio's class in New Haven has produced mostly small still lifes. Many of them are excellent for beginners. Katherine Stones class in Hartford seems to have the best sense ot what to in- clude in a well-balanced picture and what not to include. The general tendency in the exhibition as a while is toward a confusion over what is essential to strengthen picture. Students seem to be afraid to eliminate detail.
