A committee. consisting OF Alder
man John Monagan, Commissioner
orion Camp and Budget Director
Thorvald Olsen recommended that
claims be filed against the follow
ing: former Controller Daniel j..
Leary, former Purchasing Agent
Martin j. Dunn, former Executive
Secretary Thomas p. Kelly, the
Maryland Casualty Company, which
had bonded Mr.. Leary and Mr..
Dunn, also Edward G. Levy Of New
Haven. Harry Mackenzie Of Bethel,
and Charles Williamson Of Darien.
The committee said that still UNI
der study was possible action against
ex- Corporation Counsel Charles S.
OConnor and his bonding COM
pany.
$4,000 Available
In Its report, which gave high
praise TO Corporation Counsel Lynch
for his assistance In studying the
matter. the committee said that
the $40 900 set up In this years bud
get for prosecution OF the claims is
far too little. Accounting and other
services will involve heavy cost, the
committee said.
The claim against Mr.. Leary would
be based on alleged over xpendi-
lures during eight years he was In
office. A claim against the bonding
company, for a maximum OF $25 200
In any one year, would also be pre-
sented.
The committee said that claims
could be filed against Mr.. Levy,
Mr.. Mackenzie and Mr.. Williamson,
based on their admissions OF re-
ceiving Illegal fees from the city,
and recommended that action
against them also be directed
against Mr.. Leary and Mr.. Kelly,
who allegedly received "kick- backs"
Joint Actions
Also recommended was q joint
action against Mr.. Dunn and the
company which bonded him and a
joint action against Mr.. Levy, Mr..
Leary and Mr.. Kelly.
Commissioner John Brophy, point
Ing out that the costs will be high
and the amounts possible Of recovery
from the bonding companies limited,
asked II the city would get enough
TO Justify the heavy expenditures.

EDITORIAL
WHAT IF THE ALLIES SHOULD LOSE

The people of the United Stat eS have assumed that Great Brit ain and France will inevitably win the war against Germany or at best have thought little of what would happen in America if the Allies do not win. To the average American the impression is the struggle may last for some months and it may be accompan jed by some brutal fighting and the destrution of much property but in the minds of our people the defeat of Great Britain and France is not invisioned.
 The failure of Germany to strike hard against the rcmoe. racies and the refusal of Italy to participate in the warfare was all we needed to become convinced that the Allies will certainly win. The result is by no means so cer- -s'ain and word from Washington indicates that some high officials of the Government are not so sure. While the present course of the struggle does not indicate Teutonic victory the fighting so faT has been in the "shadow-box- ing stage and no man can tell what the future months will pro- duce.
 Having convinced ourselves that Great Britain and France will win we immediately conclude that we do not need to be as we'll prepared as we thought. The British Fleet is relied upon to be safeguard in the Allan tic and the naval program of the United States is designed largely tor the purpose of preventing Japanese forces from taking tae aggressive against American terri tory.
 Confident that the British will somehow manage to win the pres ent war we give little thought to the conditions which might exist if our conclusions are wrong and
