Word From Washington May Effect Truce in COntrO'
 versy-PIumbing Inspector Protests Methods

plumbing contractor supervising the project. The warrant has been denied by city court prosecutor William K. Lawlor, who maintains that federal employees, Into which category contractors for U. s. gov- ernment projects fall, are beyond the jurisdiction of civil authority.
 Basis for the plumbing inspec- tors refusal to grant permit is his contention that tn esawage cn- nections constitute . menace to community health, since they do not conform to provisions of city and state plumbing codes. Work, mean while, on the plumbing connexions proceeds without municipal au- thorization.
 Major John L. Lee, government representative, in charge of super vision of the project, has assured Inspector Walker that the matter has been referred to his superior in Washington, and that word is expected shortly. He adds, however, that the provisions of the contract do not bind the government to city regulations, on government prop erty.
 MT. Walker expressed some re- sentiment over the expressed opinion that the government could with impunity do sub-standard work in plumbing, thereby jeopardizing the health of future dwellers in the pro- ject.
 The project will consist of 28 buildings to house 122 families on Long Hill road, and 59 buildings to house approximately 180 fami- lies on Hamilton avenue. One, two, three and six-family units are be- ing constructed.

Speaking before the America First Committee last evening, Edward J, Ryan of Thomaston scored the Com mittee to Defend America by Aiding the Allies and claimed that the or- ganization was creating and spreading the same kind of lies, de- ceit and bigotry that the infamous Ku Klux Klan employed Q few years ago." He also stated that "there Is not one member of the war party Committee to Defend America by Aiding the Allies) that has a single drop of American blood to spill if America goes into another world war"
 Said MT. Ryan in part:
 "The war party of Waterbury which operated under the more dig nifled but misleading name of the Committee to Defend America by Aiding the Allies continues its smear campaign against one of the finest and most upright races of people in all the world, namely the h-Americans The war party is spreading lies, deceit and false prop aganda and bigotry against Catho- lies and people of IriSh-American extraction. The war party would like the American people to believe, if you please, that the people of Irish extraction are opposed to aid for England. This IS a deliberate lie. have never heard Q person of Irish extraction, and l know thou- sands of such people. oppose Great Britain. Many Irish-Americans in this country hope and pray that Britain will win the present war The Irish-AmericanS are among the loudest in demanding aid and more aid for England in her courageous fight against Hitler. Yes, we are all united in giving England all aid short of war, we are all united in speeding up our production in order to help Britain but every right thinking person shouts:
 "But that is all. We shall not spill one drop of American blood to help Great Britain defeat Germany.
 "The Committee to Defend Amer lea by aiding Communism, charge with attempting to spread fear, sus- picion and hysteria among our peo- pie, in order to make them easy prey for the war makers. I charge the war party with having greater love for Great Britain than they have for the United States oi America. I charge the war party with embracing the idea of 'unior now with Great Britain. I charge the war party is working in close conjunction with the Fight for Free. dom group which advocates wal now.
