Famous Sayings

None of the warning nations Of
Europe has yet drawn up a full
dress list of its war aims. But such
declarations are evidently in the
making. When they appear they
will undoubtedly contain features
aimed at attracting neutral and
world opinion to the causes they
represent.
All governments today are res
ponsive enough to public opinion,
even the most dictatorial OF them
to make it desirable that not only
their own people, but other peoples
shall know what they are fighting
about. The American Declaration
of Independence began with the
proposition that "a decent respect
to the opinions of mankind requires
that they should declare the causes

 Attorney Ashworth Opens
 Attorney Ashworth, beginning his defense, said that the aldermen must be guided by the evidence. The ony evidence offered by MT Upson, he said, was the superior court rec ord. Mayor Hayes, he said, has appealed from the superior court verdict and sentence. "He is sure he is innocent" cried the lawyer, only to be interrupted by a roar from the crowd which forced him to halt. President Perriello asked the crowd to keep order, that the hearing might proceed.
 "The case is not yet ended" de- clared Attorney Ashworth. Hayes has a right to be heard in the ap- peal. Until that appeal has been decided, there is no final judgment" /" And until a final judgment is rem dered, said the lawyer, the mayor has the right to remain in office.

Democrat, WATR First Again In
 Flashing News

First news of the outcome of the aldermanic meeting last night was given radio listeners by Radio Station WATR and the Waterbury Democrat. Fail ure of the removal proceedings against Mayor Frank Hayes and Alderman Thomas P. Kel- ly was announced by WATR several minutes ahead of other stations.
 Democrat staff reporters Ray mopd J. Fitzpatrick, Joseph P. Donahue, George Bria and John Perham supplied bulle- tins as the meeting proceeded. The bulletins were broadcast by Announcer Jim Parker from a portable transmitter in front of the city hall.
 Complete coverage of the meeting was given WATR list eners all night long. Many minutes before the vote was taken, WATR gave bulletins by Democrat reporters announce ing that the resolutions would fail, 8 to 6. Comments by vari- ous figures at the meeting were also given.
 Following the meeting. q summary and an analysis of the proceedings inside were broad cast from in front of the city hall by Ray Fitzpatrick.

ize his claims briefly: CD That the jury verdict was evidence of neglect and default of duty; CD that the jury verdict was evidence of moral turpitude against the mayor.
 An accused, he said, is consid- cred convicted unless the supreme court acts to reverse the decision. In this stand, he said, he was sup ported by many legal precedents. The mayor, he stated, had asked for a stay of execution, which, MT. Upson claimed, showed that he ad- mitted he would go to prison if the judge did not allow him to ap- peal.
 "The City of Waterbury is not a toy, not plaything," declared Up- son. It is your plain duty to vote for the removal of Frank Hayes as mayor"
 T am sorry" said Upson, "that this burden fell on me tonight. It is a sad occasion for me and for

man J. Warren Upson entered the chamber, cheers and jeers being mixed. Close behind was Attor- ney Vincent Scully, who appeared at the request of President Per- riello to represent the board and give advice if any legal dispute came up.
 As the meeting opened, Alderman George L. Kingston, majority lead- CT, moved that the board proceed with the hearing of the charges. The motion was seconded by Alder man Fenton Niver, Republican, and passed.
 Crows filling the corridors out side the chamber sought to ,force their way inside as City Clerk John P. Fitzmaurice began reading the formal charges filed against the mayor and his secretary by MT. Upson.
 Upson Presents Case
 MT. Upson then proceeded to pre- sent his case. He began by citing
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-08-25

Section 35 of the city charter, which provides for the removal of city officials by the aldermen after a pubic hearing of charges against them. He then reminded the all dermen of their oath of office, and said that they faced "a disagree able duty".
 The board, said MT. Upson, was functioning in this case as a court, and must take into consideration that the crime of which the mayor had been found guilty constituted moral delinquency. A man convicted of a crime which carries a penalty of year or more in prison is guilty of moral delinquency. He then filed with the clerk, as exhibits, a copy of the formal charge against Mayor Hayes, a copy of the jury verdict, and a record of the sentence imposed in superior court.

Upson Rebukes Crowd

Attorney Upson rose to say that he regretted that MT. Ashworth had been interrupted. The defense, he told the crowd, had a right to a fair hearing of its arguments.
 Attorney Ashworth then cited court rulings to the effect that a judgment is not final until the ap- peal has been decided.
 Attorney Upson and Ashworth an- nounced to the board that they had agreed to let the evidence and claims in the case against Mayor Hayes also stand in the case against Alderman Rely.
 Kingston Resolutions

of the city, he said, has suffered and will continue to suffer if these res- olutionss are not adopted.
 Griffin Asks Delay
 Lets wait for final conviction" urged Alderman Peter Griffin. Many cases have been reversed on appeal. The whole thing is partisan politics. I won't vote against Frank Hayes or Tommy Kelly until after a final conviction"
 Alderman Joseph Reiner declared that the removals should be voted. Turning to the Democrats, he said: Its a matter of human decency."
 Sharp Repartee
 Alderman Charles Sciullo, Demo- crat, told Reiner: 'SThe Democratic minority members can take care of themselves" He urged that the ald- ermen wait for a final conviction before voting for removal.
 Alderman Kingston retorted: Its

AS the aldermen left to meet in the mayors office, a quick survey in- dicated that the vote would be 8-6, along party lines.
 As the meeting reconvened, the committee of the whole recommend ed that the removal resolutions be adopted by the board. A significant fact seen by observers was that not one of the Democrats had signed the committee report.
 Belval Would Not Sign
 The resolutions were then referred to a committee of three, consisting of Aldermen Kingston and c. Arthur DuBois, Republicans, and Ernest P. Belval, Democrat. This committee recommended passage of the resolu- tions, but Alderman Belval refused 10 sign the report.
 Alderman Dubois, debating the resolutions, declared that the Demo- crats were taking a partisan atti- tude. '"This is no time for partisan ship" he declared. The reputation

It is not believed likely that the governor would take such drastic step. in view of the expense involved and the short time left for the mayor to remain in office.
 MT. Upson feels that quo war; ranto proceedings, or any other ac- tion filed in superior court, could be delayed by attorneys for the mayor until January l, thus making 1t useless.
 The mayor does not intend to re- sign and will fight any attempt to remove him from his post as head of the city government before the expiration of his term.

 All during the voting there were jeers and cheers, and calling of the roll was halted several times.

Superintendent of Police Will liam J. Roach was in constant touch with the squad of state policemen which was quartered at Middlebury, ready for call to action.
 Representatives of practically all Connecticut daily newspapers attended the hearing. Many of the men assigned were those who covered the conspiracy trial. Pho tOgraphers were all over the place, snapping shutters and flashing bulbs.

No one of the principals of the recent conspiracy trial was pres ent at the hearing. Former Con- troller Daniel J. Leary was seen driving out Of the city shortly after seven o'clock.
 The crowd became impatient as the aldermen, in accordance with parliamentary procedure, took sew eral recesses. Come on - come on," cried the crowd. The meet ing started at SOS and concluded at 9:25.
 Police remained on duty in the city hall until 1t had been cleared. They seemed to be everywhere and in force. The crowd stood quietly outside the city hall for several moments after all the lights were doused.
 Police protection was given Alderman Peter Griffin as he started for home. A crowd of hecklers followed him from Field

 Despite reports of the Republi- can press of strategy wherby city yards workers would pack the meeting, there were few city em- plOyes present. For the most part, the crowd of 250 or more packed into the aldermanic chambers was comprised of young men and women.
 Eight husky cops guarded the door to the chamber. It was sur- prising that there were no col- lapses due to the terrific heat and crowds. Precipitation virtually poured off tl.ose who "stormed' the main entrance to the room. And inside there was a perpetual motion of handkerchiefs over beaded brows, and flaming with newspapers to create stir of air. The air was thick with smoke.
 John R. Apuzzo, superior court stenographer, recorded all the proceedings of the hearing. He said he had been requested to attend the hearing by Claims At tOrney Vincent A. Scully. Mr. SculIy said that J. Warren Upson and the board requested him to attend the hearings as "parlia- mentary guide"

 One of the quickest bits of repartee during the hearing last night came from Republican Leader George Kingston. After Alderman Arthur Dubois had ad- ministered a tongue flashing to the Democratic members, Alder man Charles SciullO arose to re- mind Dubois that the Republican needn't worry about the minority members, for they were able to take care of themselves. Said Kingston, 'Tt's time they stopped taking care of themselves and cared for the citizens of Water bury"
