Settlement of the city's suit against the surety company which bonded ex-ContrOller Dan- iel J. Leary was criticized by Clark H. w. Newton, Republican candi- date for controller, i'm a cam paign broadcast last night. He claimed the full amount of the bonds, $1OO,OOO, should have been collected instead of the S7O,- 900 which the city has agreed to accept.
 Mir. Newton also attacked the administration for taking credit for 8 city surplus. The surplus, he said, was made possible nnailny by heavy tax collections which, he said, are . credit to the tax payers instead of the administra- tion. He scored the failure to grant increases to city employees.
 James F. McGrath, Republican candidate for tax collector, spoke on the same program. He ap- pealed for election on his record as business man and former internal revenue collector.
 The text of Mir. Newt0n's ad- dress:
 The Democratic party, in seek ing to retain control of the govern ment of the City of Waterbury, is laying great stress upon the ex-. iStence of a surplus. The Comp trOller's figures indicate that the total surplus for the year 194O was $S16,OOOyOO. Of this sum apparent Iy $255, ,OO0.OO was from the collec- tl0n of taxes in excess of the es- timated amount.
 The Charter of the City is SO drawn that all taxes collected in excess of ninety-twO per cent of the taxes assessed must be set aside as . surplus. The surplus at the end of 194O was more due to the ability of the Waterbury tax payers to pay their taxes and to the mandatory provisions of the Charter than 1t was to the virtues of the Democratic administration
 Actually all of the money ap- propriated was not used. Never theless, 1t is apparent that there should have been 8 saving in ap- prcpriated funds during the year 104O. It Is common knowledge that the Welfare Department, for instance, had fewer burdens than during the preceding years. 1t Is the provision of law and the nxaavnwns oR OarnanpxA~A wanMa that gave the city a surplus. It does not seem to me that the Demo- cratic party can claim any credit for 1t.
 The latest move made by the Democratic administration is the settlement of the claim upon Leary's bond for $7O,OOO.O0. Ap- parently frozn what the neypa- per reports indicate, the total

BANK APPEALS | LEARY AWARD

 Supreme Court

4 judgment of sI,52s2s entered in favor of Frank A. Leary, brother of the missing Daniel J. Leary, former city official, has been appealed by the Citizens and Manufacturers Ma tional bank of New Haven, and has been listed for hearing on the Ncv- ember docket of the state supreme court of errors. No printed copy of the testimony has been made, hove ever, and arguments will probably be heard at a later time.
 Litigation concerns Q power cf at- torney given by the one-tirne con- troller to his wife, Sadie D. Leary, which was held valid by Judge John 0. Fitzgerald in the New Haven court of common pleas on September 30. Tn addition, damages of Siy623.20 were awarded to the local man.
 The action had been filed by Frank A. Leary and was based upon an allegation that the bank had re- fused to cash a dividend check, pay. able to Daniel J. Leary, and issued by the bankrupt estate of the East- ern Brewing Company. The check was endorsed with the signature Of Mrs. Leary, who held power of at- torney from her husband. Face val- ue of the check was $l l.49e.33, and it bore the date May 13, 194i, a time subsequent to Leary's disappearance.

Wage Increases.

amount that might have been cole lected was S1OO,OOO.O0. The people of Waterbury believe that Leary cost the city far more than S1OO,- 00O.0O. I want to know why the full amount of the bond was not recovered. I should expect that interest would be payable on the amount of the bond. I want to know why the Democratic admin istrati0n did not insist upon the payment of interest in this set- clement. The bonding company was the Maryland Casualty Com. pany, and 1t seems to me that the company has made Q very good settlement for itself and that the Democrats have made a very poor settlement for the City of Water bury. I am wondering whether or not there are any other city off, cials bounded with the Maryland Casualty Company. Mrs. Hayes bonded herself and guaranteed that Dan Leary would be present when required by the Court. The State apparently is making her pay every dollar of the amount of the bond, but the City of Water- bury does not make the rich and powerful Maryland Casualty Com- pany pay every dollar due on It's bond. Why not? Could 1t be that the city administration was willing to make a compromise with the bonding company In order to have the $7O,O0O.OO as a resource to as- sist in the balancing of the 1942 budget?
 do not know what provision in the 1942 budget will be made for increasing wakes and salaries of city employees. It is clear that the cost of living has increased and Is now increasing. I believe that the city should increase salary pay ments to . sufficient extent to keep pace with this increased Cost of living. Any other policy Hpeans that the city business is carried on at the expense of the city em- plOyes.
 Of course, that 1t the policy that has been followed by the Demo- cratic party i'm the past. I can remember what shock 1t was to me when realized that the Dem- Ocratic party for years during the l930's had insisted upon salary re- ductions among the city employees and that the money so made avail- able was recklessly squandered. The Democratic administration, having taken the position tha wages should be reduced during the depression must be logical and take the position that during a pe- ri0d of higher prices, wages must be increased. As Comptroller of the City of Waterbury, it would be my objective to give the City en1- plOyees fair treatment. \ ann sat- isfied that they have not had fair treatment at the hands of the Democratic party during the last ten years. As I said before, the spectacle of the Democratic party taking hard earned dollars out of the pockets of city employees only to squander these sums was Q great shock to the taxpayers of the City Of Waterbury.
 It must be obvious to you as it ls to us that the only remedy is at Che polls. Vote the Republican ticket.

Good Evening.
QUANDARY

Now that winter days draw near And tlre leaves are brown and scar, DO you find yourself torn between two things In the joy that purchasing new coat bringsp Shall it be sensible tailored practical as 1t were, Or layishly styled with lots and lots of furp Then there is the question of dresses, Settling this so often distresSes The little number so bright and extreme Is something you once pictured in dream But common sense tells you 1t will wilt in the rain And the wisest thing is to get something plain. Oh the decisions gal has to make! The hours and hours she stays awake, Trying to decide whether to go skyhigh Or indulge in what is known as a very good buy. Now that colder days are here, You're most anxious to appear In something nice but you can't decide whether your hat should be small or very wide.

Frugal Greenwich Village" Life Replaces Pre-War Luxury of London's Bachelor Girls"
U. S. ExPATRIATES MAKE TINY INCOME GO A LONG WAY,
By PAUL MANNING

0y GAOA NAfAENGNAENN (NEA Service Stan COrrespondent)
 London, oct. 2S-(By cable)- The American "bachelor girls" in England are not British, not Eng fish and not really American any more, either.
 They will remain here until the war is over. They were debutantes, some of them, few short years ago. And when they got received by the king for few brief minutes at the Court of St. James's, they had one up on their New York sisters.
 They went on then to live in Paris and study music and art by day and the lights of Montmartre and the Left Bank by night. Up the Rue Pigalle over to Bal Tabarin and then then to Bricktop's in the Montmartre. Across the Place de la Concorde and over the Seine for the Left Bank. Champagne din- ners and long luncheons that be- gan at two and ended in blurred and vague twilight.
 THE END
 OF A WORLD
 Deauville, Monte Carlo, Cannes and the shimmering blue green Mediterranean of the warm Riviera, with the snow of the Alps at St. Moritz or the Tyrol, for 8 backdrop during winter holidays. Mayfair parties and the long English week end from Friday to Tuesday and back to London again. Marriage, then, to a title with more and big ger dinners parties, served by many buffers.
 Now they were two up on their sisters back home, who were start ing, with no servants, their first marriage year.
 But the days came along one after another, and then four years were gone. And everything was gone with them. The title had ended in di- vorce. And the war had arrived.
 This small group of bachelor girls, scattered over London, gets along all right, though. A little money from home can go far if you know how. A small, three-room apart nent over a garage in some news at five dollars 8 week looks nice when it's well decorated. Like Green wich Villege in New York. Nobody
