PUBLIC HEARINGS
 ONLY COURTESIES
Protests Filed on Laying of Sewers Without NOti=
 flying Property Owners

Replying to protests from residents of the Piedmont street section, John DiCorpo, clerk of the Board of Works, said today that the city charter gives the board the power to authorize the laying of sewers with out previously holding public meet ings. Residents of Cypress, Autumn, Arbor and other streets are pro- tesing that WPA sewer projects have been authorized without consulting them, and that they do not see how the city can force them to pay sewer assessments since the federal government Is paying the labor costs.
 MT. DiCorpo said that hearings are often held as @ matter of public sessions. When requests are made by residents for a sewer, the board invariably has a meeting, he said.
 He said that most of the sewers installed in recent years have been laid because they were part of an engineering program, not because they were requested by residents. He added that the health board can au- thorize the laying of sewers without consulting the Board of Works.
 City officials, in answer to pro- tests about paying assessments when the WPA pays part of the costs of laying sewers, say that the charter requires the Board of Works to levy assessments of $2.50 a front foot, re- gardless of outside aid in laying the sewers.

 Politicians who should know, claim that Southbury is the only town in Connecticut where you can still buy votes with five cent cigars. We suggest lOlln-pops for the ladies at the next eleceion.
 When Ernie Beardsley and Pete Platt started to tend their traps just before going to a dance the other night, they found a buck skunk in one of their square, jaWed Number 2's. The boys didn't know what to do, so they put the skunk in a bag and put the bag in a brook. We haven't heard about their reception at the dance.
 Speaking of traps, some care less fellows are setting unmarked traps on State Preserve not far from the foot of Squaw Rock. There's law against 1t, the ward en has been checking, and per- haps it will be safer to make the sets in less frequented ground.
 We heard about a game warden the other day who wanted a rent in our township. There's a rent on Squeak street but the best shooting is on higher ground. Perhaps we can place this gent where the venison runs chunky.
 Johnny ShOrtt and Frank Me- Winney went coon hunting up near Bates Rock the other night. They took along kid and cou- pie of dogs. The dogs parked in and Johnny sent the kid scamp ering ont to civilization after a pick and shovel. Johnny is too old a hand to fall for that. COOns don't hole up in groundholes. If that kid dug out his quarry, it's ten-to-one he found either skunk or possum.

west Siberian district for the par- ty. Gradually he rose through the party ranks, but 1t was an assasSin's hand that put Zhdanov on the road to his present, teach- er's-pet position.
 When in 1884, Stalin's friend. adviser, and favorite Sergei Kirov. party secretary for the Leningrad district, was murdered, zhdanov was chosen to take his place.
 As secretary of this important labor district, Zhdanov became a secretary of the powerful Central Committee of the Communist Party. Today he has moved up to the second secretaryship. As first secretary, Stalin rules Russia.
 An ardent nationalist, zhdanov soon used his Leningrad position to agitate against the Baltic states near his district. As early as 1886 he urged the All Union Con- gress to annex Finland and the Baltic states.
 FINNISH FIGHT
 WAS HIS WAR"
 As secretary of Leringrad zhdan- ov formulated the workers de- mands" for bases in the Gulf of Finland that led to the Finnish war. Later, as the state-controlled Pravda said: "Comrade zhdanov was en- trusted with the organization of our front in the war with Finland" :"
 It was "his war" and upon its successful conclusion he was flood ed with congratulatory telegrams and letters.

 Although, for obvious reasons, 1t has never been confirmed by the Kremlin, there is good reason to believe that in 1883 Russia's powerful Politureau ruled Stalin must select his successor.
 The bloody scramble for power that followed Lenin's dc ..l would make the ruling a logical one. Without such a safeguard no man of position could place much value on his life should Stalin die sud- denly.
 If such a law does in fact exist, high-placed Russians believe their enigmatic boss has decided to pass his mailed fist of authority over ITO millions to the 43-year-old zhdanov.
 HELPED ALONG
 BY ASSASSIN'S HAND
 Until six years ago, zhdanov lived in the comparative obscurity sur rounding many minor Communist Party officials. He had been born into an elementary school teachers family in Tver, between St. Peters, burg and Moscow. He went to Mos cows Agricultural School, was at- tracted to the Bolshevists, soon quit school to agitate against the Czar.
 Unimpressive in appearance, be- ing rather short and pudgy, zhdanov had two very useful qualities for the Bolshevists: he was a great organ izer and an eloquent, spell-binding speaker.
 After the October revolution he was assigned to organize small

CONFUSION OVER |
 NAVAL SERVICE
Only Six-Year EnIistments Accepted; Explanation
 Given on Question

Much confusion has been caused recently in selective service circles by an innocent application form CD. s. s. Form 165) which has received wide circulation among the local draft boards, declared It. w. F. Hinckley, officer in charge of the navy recruiting service in Connecti- cut, in a conference with his staff today.
 This form gives the prospective volunteer for one years service the opportunity to state his preference as to whether he wishes land or naval service. When this form was originally issued 1t was assumed that men would be admitted to the naval service for a one year period un- der the selective service law. It was printed prior to the Secretary of the Navys announcement that recruiting stations are authorized to accept for enlistment in the navy any applicant who has already been fully qualified and is called for in- duction by local board into the armed forces, but for the six year period only. It. Hinckley reiterated his statement previously made in connection with recruiting, that only men who are under 31 years of age, unmarried, of good moral char acter and sound physical condition are eligible for enlistment in tte| regular navy and these for the six year period.
