LANSING, Oct. 11.-With the
officially gone from
the capital for the firstAtime since
this administration took over last
January, Gov. Murray d. Van
Wagner planned today 10 shake
up several departments and COM
missions.
He has his eye on the state de-
partment of health, the liquor con-
troll commission and the boards
which regulate barbering, phar-
macy and coSmetology.
While the lawmakers hung
around the Capitol. even though
the 194l session was in recess, the
Chief Executives hands were tied
as far as clusters and requirements
were concerned. Removal powers
are in the hands of the Senate
when the Legislature is in session.

Two Catholic Youth Organization debating teams competing in the third annual tournament sponsored by Sheridan council, Knights of Col umbus, discussed various phases of a proposed war referendum before a large audience last evening and pre- sented the officiating judges with the difficult problem of reaching deci- sion.
 St. Lucy'S representatives took the affirmative side of the question, Re solved: That the People of the United State Should Have the Right to Decide War by Direct Vote.' Young speakers from St. Joseph's parish argued to the contrary and won the decision of the judges. However, both teams were warmly commended by the judges and off cers of the Knights of Columbus and CYO for their splendid arguments. It was the popular opinion that the debate was the outstanding event in the current series.
 Speakers Complimented
 Judge John L. Gaffney of the City court, Rev. James O'Brien of St. Michael'S church, Waterville; Rev. Italo Calcagni, of St. Lucy's church and Miss Eleanor Green of Hartford, state supervisor of the CYO chapters in Connecticut addressed the gath ering and complimented the speak CTS. The three judges of the eve ming, Miss Kathleen Crowley, direc- tor of the Waterbury Girls club; John Daly, city editor of the Repub- lican and Frank J. Green, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce also paid compliments to the speakers, to the work of the Knights of Columbus in sponsoring such a commendable educational activity and to the CYO for its evident enthusiastic partici- patton in the program.
 It was the principal contention oi the affirmative side that as a true Democracy the people of the United States should be vested with the power to decide the all-important issue of going to war.

Upon her reutrn she obtained a position in the art department of the Paramount Motion Picture Corporation and from her motion picture work she went on to the management of number of celebri- ties, including Sir Hubert Wilkins, Lowell Thomas, Count von Luck ner, Donald Macmillan, Roy Chap man Andrews, Martin Johnson and Carveth Wells in the days before their marriage. Since her marriage Mrs. Wells has been her husband $ companion on many of his most thrilling expeditions and has visited many countries, including Iceland Lapland, Soviet Russia, Panama, Mexico and on her recent trip, h. dia, Egypt, Japan, China and virtu- ally the whole of the Far East She has also collaborated with her hus- band in writing his last four books -"Adventure" Exploring the World" - ''Kapoot" and "Ber1nida in Three Colors'.
