split on the census enumerators. They are now designed through the mayors office, but 6 bill was intro- duced in the Legislature at this session which would let the two Registrars of Voters name them and give them the ranking of assistant registrars. The bill has already been turned down by the Senate Cities and Boroughs Committee, but Rep. Birge told The Democrat that the House committee would report favorably upon 1t.
 He said that there was no con nection between such action and the hold-up on the citys charter bill, but continued to make 1t plain that he wasn't ready to agree on suspension of the rules, citing the same reason which he offered last week relatives to bills going through without being known by the legis- lators.
 Local Senators Angry
 Both Senators Edward P. Egan and Michael V. Blansfield of Water bury were much incensed over the House action today and the former In particular was most outspoken in his criticism.
 He said. T am strongly opposed to the Registrars bill for the simple reason that 1t is Q job-grabbing attempt. It's just an effort on the part of the Republicans to play politics with a non political issue.'
 Senator Blansfield said the same thing and both were of an opinion that they'd prefer to see the entire city charter bill scrapped rather than have it passed on the basis of an agreement for Q patronage split It was understood that some Democratic legislators were advis- ing the Waterbury members of the Senate and House to adopt such an attitude and let the Republicans receive the blame for failure to have the charter revision put through.

 He blamed the iaadequacy of Bri ta!ns mechanical strength and tn, lack of modern equipment of Jugo slaNa and Greece for the victor. of 0ermany's forces. Britain, h. said, had made the mistake of try ing to create large army instead ,f Q powerful army.
