lpemocrat LegIslatIye Reporterl

Democrat Legislative Reporter)
 State Capitol, Hartford, March lol -scant support was seen today forl a bill heard yesterday before the| judiciary committee which wouldl freeze in" the registrars of voters in Waterbury, New Haven and New Britain until io46. The mystery ofI the bill's sponsorship was solved yesterday afternoon when several registrars and Republican Town Chairman Vernon L. Hall of Water.I terbury appeared in favor.
 The measure originally also ap. piled to Hartford butt he registrar,l here asked before the hearing tha the name of this city be strickeII out.
 Republican Registrar Albert oI Faller of Waterbury and MT. Hall spoke in favor of the bill, while Democratic Registrar John T. Der win did not speak but registered in favor.
 Speaking In opposition were Cor poration Counsel J. Gregory Lynch Town Clerk Mary o. Kilmartin and Rep. Daniel J. Mahaney, an employel of the registrars office, all of Wa terbury. They declared that ex.l tension of the terms by the legis-l lature would be an infringement on Waterbury's right of home rule.I
 William J, Pape of Waterbury, said he was neutral" on the "po-| litical" aspects of the bill but did favor the general provisions re- garding the duties of registrars of voters. The general provisions, hel said, are favored by the eelctionl laws commission, of which MT. Pape| Is chairman.
 Democrats and Republicans alikt today expressed the informal opi1ionl that passage of the bill would leadI to host of similar measures to| freeze in" other elected officers of cities and towns. The bill woulC | keep the present registrars in of- flee until January, 1o46, and would provide for six-year instead of two-l year etrms for registrars electedl thereafter.
 During the hearing. MT. Hall saidl he did not know who had draftedl the bill, but Registrar Taller claimedl 1t had been approved at e meetingl of registrars from Waterbury, NeWI Haven and New Britain. A com.l mittee member then expressed doubt that 1t had been approved by thel New Haven registrars and MT. Fall Ter said that the consensus" hadl been favorable.

The second was when he got
