SEWAGE PLANT
 COSTSS13O,OO6
Town Would Only Pay About $36,S5O If WPA
 Project Goes Through

 Phone Naugatuck 3s45

Beacon Falls, Oct. 25--A special town meeting will be held soon to discuss the proposed sewage dis posal plant here. Residents will be informed of the report made by the Haller Engineering associates, who investigated the situation here and gave estimated costs of the project. It is reported the plant would cost $130,086, but if plans here to hve it erected as 8 WPA project go through, the cost to, the town would be only about $36,850, it is said. The WPA would furnish labor and the town would have to urnish mater ials and supplies.
 It is said that such a plant will be necessary here within the space of few years because most resi- dents now use either the Naugatuck river or the canal raceway near the Beacon Falls Rubber Shoe company. Some residents have their own dis posal system and in some cases, this has proved inadequate, 1t was stated.
 Schools Closed
 Schools here were closed today because of the state Teachers con- vention. They will reopen Monday.
 Wedding Tomorrow
 The wedding of Miss Catherine Patterson, R. N., daughter of Mrs. Wavid O'Shea of Bethany road, to Albert Rupsis, also of Bethany road, will be held, tomorrow at St. Mich aels church at a. m. Rev. Jerome Cook, pastor, will officiate.

Washington-Inside story of how John L. Lewis was inveigled into taking over Willkie radio time against Roosevelt hinges around two promises to the bushy browed CIO leader. One promise was that he could name the secretary of labor in the Willkie cabinet and second that Willkie would enforce decisions of the National Labor Relations Board on defense con- tracts. So far Roosevelt has not entirely done this.
 After these overtures were made to Lewis he countered with the suggestion that R. J. Thomas head of the United Automobile Work CTS Union was wavering and might be won over to Willkie also if he were promised the job of labor secretary. When the Republicans approached Thomas, however, he gave them fiat cold shoulder.
 Hatch Act Hitch
 In promising to do' the broad cast, Lewis forgot about the Hatch Act which. in the opinion of some legalists, would prevent the CIO or Labor's Non Partisan League from donating more than $5,O00 to political party. The broadcast costs $65,000. Furthermore, Lewis will have trouble with his executive board, which is almost unani- mouSly for Roosevelt, if he tries to collect the cash from individual units of the United Mine Workers or the CIO.
 So in the end, any deficit for Lewis big broadcast was guaran- teed by the Republican Finance committee. Head of this committee is Ernest Weir, steel magnate whom John L. Lewis has fought; and behind the Republican Fi- nance committee are such former opponents of Lewis as Tom Gird- Ter of Republic Steel and Joe Pew of the Sun Oil Company.
 Lewis decision to break defi- nitely with Roosevelt came after a White House conference last week, at which the CIO chieftain again demanded reappointment of J.

Lewis And Willkie
Inside Story Hinges on Two Promises by WiIlkie
 to the Bushy Browed CIO Leader
By DREW PEARSON and ROBERT S. ALLEN
 Co-Authors of the Washington "Merry- Col Round"

Warren Madden as head of the Labor Relations Board, together with the enforcement of Labor Board decisions by the National Defense commission. When he came out of the meeting, Lewis announced, T got a wooden leg" which is the coal miners phrase for having been completely unsuc- ceSsful in labor negotiation.
 Deep Secret
 Lewis was so secretive regarding his plans that not even his closest colleagues, such as Phil Murray, knew in advance what he was to say in his much fanfared broad cast. Nor did Lewis CIO friends know definitely whether the CIO or the Willkie campaign was she'll ing out the $65 ,000 for radio time,
 Only person who knew definitely was his daughter and personal VIVA NoNNASp N41GoD 1AdU1U III LEWIS. Lewis dictated his speech to his daughter in order to insure no leak, and bluntly said so to g. United Mine Workers official. Sorry, but I'm not talking" Lewis told him. T respect your judg- ment, but you are a good fellow and I'm afraid you'll. talk"
 The deep cloak of secrecy Lewis has thrown about his speech is well shown by the fact that not only Philip Murray, vice president of the United Mine Workers, but also Tom Kennedy, John Owen, Van Bittner, and other miners of many years friendship have not been taken into his confidence. When they rushed to him in alarm about the speech, Lewis made it clear that he didn't even want their advice.

Naugatuck, Oct. 25-Warden John J. Sheridan today endorsed a drive for funds here to aid the war suf- ferers in Poland. The campaign is underway now.
 The warden said:
 During this week, and the weeks ahead, the Polish people of the bor- ough will conduct a drive for funds to aid the war sufferers of Poland. ] understand the amount of $500 is the quota to be collected locally and. ] am sure, all must agree, that this is a most worthy cause.
 "The people of Poland, along with the people of many other countries of Europe, have been forced to great sufferings and privations because of the war conditions in the old world. The people of Poland, in many cases have been forced away from their homes into other countries and are without means of livelihood, and are at the present time destitute. They are in need of help in many forms Food, medicine, medical attention and other forms of necessities are needed. So we are asked to give our assistance so as, to some extent, re- duce the hardships these people are forced to endure. Along with the peo- pie of Poland, the people of all other countries who are affected by this terrible war, am sure, have our ut most sympathy.
 "The people of Naugatuck have al- ways been generous with their aid to people who are in need and I am sure, in this drive, they will be just as generous.
 Tn the collection of these funds the opportunity to help and show our sympathy is given and I am sure a great many of us will take advan- tage of it. This drive is sponsored by our local Polish societies and has the approval of the government officials at Washington. So urge that the people of Naugatuck contribute to this most worthy cause so that it can be said that we have done our part and that the drive here has been successful"
