Civil Liberties Union
Chairman Resigns
In Protest "
Dr.. Word Hits Board,
Sees Communism as Not
I Disquoiifyins Member
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 4.-Dr. Harry
F. Ward, professor Of Christian
ethics at Union Theological Sem
mary, announced yesterday he had
resigned as chairman of the Ameri-
can Civil Liberties Union in protest
against "the surrender of vital prin-
ciples embodied in the recently
adopted resolution which sets up
tests of opinion for services on the
governing bodies of the union"
Quoting from a statement to the
press authorized by the Board of Di-
rectors, DR.. Ward, who held his post
with the union for 20 years, said the
resolution "sets up a test of con-
sistency in the defense of civil liber-
ties in all aspects and all places. J"
ut declares that consistency Is
inevitably compromised by persons
who champion civil liberties in the
United States and yet who justify or
tolerate the denial of civil liberties
by relationships abroad" he said in
a statement.
During it's entire existence the
union has rigidly excluded from its
consideration civil liberties issues
outside the United States. It has
several times refused invitations to
international collaboration in its
field of work. The resolution of
February now sets up as a test for
membership in its board and ma
tional committee the attitude of per-
sons toward the actions and policies
of foreign governments"
THE inclusion of other organiza-
tions is irrelevant window dressing"
he said. I'm, view of the fact that
in all of our discussions over this
issue have heard no one challenge
the record in defense of civil liber-
ties of the one Communist member
of the board Ca charter member of
the union), cannot agree that mere
membership in the Communist party
disqualifies one for service on the
governing bodies of the union."
Disagreeing with the boards state
ment to the press, in which it was
said the resolution merely states
what has always been the unwritten
policy of the union," DR.. Ward cited
the cases of two board members who
. at different times joined the Com
munist party.
"The board would have been in
duty bound to point out that their
designations were in order" he said

more. In the course of the several clinic interviews with Raymond and his mother it was discovered that he had been made to feel this difference to such an extent that he looked upon himself as com- plete failure and disgrace to the family. He was ashamed to have other people see how inferior 8 person he was; and because of this growing sense of insecurity and Encouragement, he became more of a problem to his family--and what is more important to him. self--that was at all necessary.
 Ability Discovered
 He was found to have excellent ability along mechanical lines--a fact which had been only briefly suspected and never utilized by the family. The clinic urged that this asset be used in helping Raymond to find himself. With adjustments in his school program and new understanding of his needs on the part of his parents much of Rays problem, disappeared. It is true that he will never be able to conl- plete on an intellectual level with his brothers and sister; but if he and his family learn to use his talents effectively and to accept his limitations in a constructive rather than a destructive manner, he will undoubtedly learn to make as good an adjustment to tEe busi- ness of living and getting along" as the other members of his fam ily.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-01-31

Raymond, aged 13, sullen and protesting, was brought to the Waterbury Society for Mental Hy- giene by his mother. She was a well-built, intelligent woman who had raised a family of older children to be successful and pop ular persons in their own small community. Raymond, the 4th child, was not only disappoint-- ment to her but also generally annoying. His school record was barely passing. his attitude apa- thetic. He had few friends, sat lnoroSely about the house listen- ing to the radio and reading. He had no great enthusiasms. He complained about his boredom but exasperated members of his fam- fly because of his unwillingness to take the initiative in helping him. self. He was self f-conscious and shy in the presence of strangers--a startling and unhappy contrast to his brothers and sister.
 Retarded Mentally
 Clinic examination showed him to be at least one year retarded mentally. This might have been serious enough in itself, but in comparison with the better than average mental equipment of the rest of the family he suffered even

EXCAVATION FEES
 MAY BE REVISED
Supt. of Streets Recon. mends Bonding Street
 Staging Jobs

Street excavations should be for bidden during the winter months because of the difficulty in replac- ing pavement satisfactorily in cold weather, Superintendent Herbert Scott-Smith told the board of pub lie works last night.
 Other recommendations by MT. Scott-Smith were that the fees charged for excavation permits be revised, that more stringent regula- tions be adopted for permits for building repairs which necessitate the use of staging over streets or widewalks, and that bonds be re- quired for such repairs.
 It was suggested by the superin- tendent that all ordinance be adopt ed ob!iging that all firms making repairs in which staging is erected over streets to secure city licenses. Such firms would be obliged to prove liability, insurance of $15,000 and property insurance of $5,000 The several recommendations were referred to committees.
 
 The board voted to levy sewer assessments on Guilfoile street Hawley street, Edgehill avenue, Lake street and Myrtle avenue. A report was made by Plumbing Inspector James R. Walker that it would be illegal to allow storm water to flow into a sanitary sewer on Bergen street. The complaint, made by Patsy Perugini, was then referred to the street department to see if the situation can be improved.
 A request from Domenic Caste lano that he be allowed to extend Nathan street to Willowdale ave- nue, with the city paying only the cost of pipe for a brook, was re- ferred to committee. A request by the Town Plot Community club for new street signs was received, and 1t was pointed out that new signs will soon be installed all over the city by the IVA.
 Referred to the finance board was request by City Engineer Charles A. Root for an allocation of $7,500 as the city's share of WPA sani- tary sewer project.

 The situation in Europe now is bar for Germany MT.

 The news correspondent further said that neutral nations must make up their mind on which side of the fence they desire to cast their lot.
