 The board then voted to have a final report at the next meeting September 16.

Taking Fees For Aiding Aliens
 Held Illegal

A warning against the taking of any money in return for aiding aliens to register was voiced yesterday by Postmaster William J. Rankin of Hartford. The postmaster said he had received reports that certain persons were making a prac- tice of charging for any help they gave the aliens, in direct contradiction to the law, which provides that the registration shall be absolutely free to every alien. He also warned aliens not to rely on the prom ises of persons who say they can get naturalization papers for them through 'pull."
 Local authorities have re- Ceived no complaint about the taking of fees in return for aid to aliens, particularly those who do not speak English. A rumor to the effect that there was someone here who asked 25 cents from each alien he helped register, seems to be groundless.

the school board reconsiders its vote to close the school. The board last night said that transportation would be furnished for only the pupils of the first three grades.
 Mayor SculIy ct Scene
 Mayor Vincent A. Scully, chairman ex-oficio of the school board, drove to the scene this morning and urged the children of the first three grades to get into a bus and go to school, according to Anthony DeLuca, but the children refused to heed the mayor.
 Thomas P. Ashton, president of the board was also unsuccessful in getting the children to 30 to school.
 Edward Donahue, veteran truant officer, drove by and was greeted with a chorus of boos. Mir. Donahue did not stop, as the children fiournished a placard which declared: we Want Our Old Rockville School Back"
 The striking school children were actively backed by their parents, who left their household duties and stood in groups near the children. They repeated their claim that the action of the board was unjust and declared they would not back down until their demands were met.
 Only One Responded
 Only one child was reported to have gone to the East Farms school from the Rockville district today. His name was given as Robert Baker, about 10 years old, son of Arthur Baker. of Rockville resident who is in favor of closing the school and transferring the pupils to East Farms.
 The delegation to the school board last night declared that the boards contention that provising transpor- tation for children of all grades would establish 8 dangerous prece- dent was untrue as such precedent has already been established.
 How about~the transfer of pupils from Gaffney school to Slocum school, MT. DeLuca asked. Didn't they all get transportation?"
 The board made no reply, but MT. DeLuca's claim was later learned to be true.
 Commissioner John J. Kearney, Republican, told the delegation that he was in sympathy with their claims and that he would still vote against closing the school if an- other vote were taken.
 Kearney With Strikers
 'But," MT. Kearney continued, you're wasting your time. The ma jority board will not rescind its &C., tion.'
 Individual members of the delega- ton made many charges. among them that Fire Marshal Dennis J. Lahey was called upon to issue a statement that the Rockville school was fire menace.
 Where has MT. Lahey been for the past ten years?" one man cried put. If it is fire hazard now, it

II there's book in you, the man

~Gone With the Wind" wants to
zee you.
In washington for 4 day, H. S.
Latham, vice president and editor
OF the Macmillan Co., is spending
his time talking to authors and
prospective authors, writers of
fiction, biography, science and every
thing else.
And it seems there are plenty of
authors in Washington. There's a
physician who's written A medical
books and is taking a flyer in
fiction. There's the author of a
novel about the Government that
Mr.. Latham is hopeful about. In
fact, he finds the type of prospec-
tive authors he has talked to in
Washington unusually superior"
The telephone rang constantly
while he was being interviewed to-
day at the Raleigh Hotel. In each
case he was more than polite, he was
actually enthusiastic.
I should be glad to see your
book" he told one author who
called. I'm very interested in that
theme"
Between telephone calls he went
about exploding the myth that pub
fishers are hard to see.
"You can't imagine the lodges
that are used to get in to see me-"
he declared. "And actually I'm the
easiest man in the world to see."
He also wanted it made clear
that the editors read everything
that is sent to them, sometimes five
or six times. After an hour, he said,
they usually know whether the book
Is worth reading further. Then, of
course, there are books that require
only reading of the first page to
discover that the author is hopeless.
Most tragic of all, said MIR. La
than, are the authors who come to
see him bearing books he knows
neither his company nor any other
publisher will print.

Aid for Police Increase

Maj. Ernest Brown, superintend-

night urged the Connecticut Ave-

appropriations for 100 additional
personnel in the department. Maj.
Brown led a panel Of seven speakers,
which featured the meeting of the
civic group in All Souls Memorial
Church.
Outlining the present status of
the police force, Maj. Brown pointed
out that the population of the Dis
trict in the last 10 years has in
creased 40.6 per cent, compared to a
police force increase Of only 4.3 per
cent.
The speaker also declared that
the amount of criminal offenses in
recent weeks has not reached the
proportions of a crime wave" and
added that over a long period of
time persons apprehended for crimes
In Washington have proven pre-
,dominantly to be transients. Maj.
Brown expressed the belief that
local vagrancy laws should be
frightened.
Fire Chief Stephen T. Porter, the
first speaker of the evening, urged
the citizens to work for provision of
is additional men to the Fire De-
partment personnel Others who
spoke before the group were Capt.
