Chicago. I'll, october 1s -- The problem of teaching peace In Q world of war confronts the reli- gious educators of the nations children.
 Miss Mary Alice Jones, director of children's work for the Inter- national Council of Religious Edu- cation, announced here today this is one of the major children'S work topics being discussed at 10 three day regional conferences projected from Maine to California by the 90 Protestant denominations in the United States and Canada.
 "The rapidly changing world in which our children live presents serious problem for church school workers as they strive to lead to- days younger generation into sane Christian citizenship. When boys and girls are surrounded on oil sides by news and talk of war t is difficult for churches and homes to know how to help children Un. derstard the meaning Of Peace on Earth: good will to men," Miss Jones explained.
 All sections of the United States and Canada will be covered by the conferences, to which all Protestant denominations are inc vited to send representatives in the areas they operate churches, Through these meetings the church educators hope to train se-

MOTION INCLUDES
 THREE REQUESTS
Trust Company vs D. J. Leary Case Listed Again
 for Court Hearing

For the third time in recent weeks, motion for disclosure of de- 3ense, judgment and the setting of law-dayS, is scheduled for decision at the Friday short calendar session of superior court, in conenction with the foreclosure action brought by the Waterbury Trust Company against former city controller Dan- iel J. Leary, and his wife, Mrs. Sadie D. Leary.
 on two successive weeks Judge John A. Cornell has allowed con- Ginuances of one week, and last week expressed annoyance over the fact that counsel for one of the de- fendants failed to put in an appear ance, although he had telephoned that he had no defense to offer In behalf of his client.
 Litigation concerns two promis- sory notes allegedly signed by the missing city of1lcial and his wife, amounting to 42,60O and secured by property on Frank street. The bank requests a judgment by default in view of the n-appearaT1ce of de- 1endants.
 Also listed for the short calendar session is 6 motion to set aside the verdict of a jury which last week returned a $6,000 verdict in favor of William Henry, Waterbury Trust Company teller. The suit was based upon injuries the bank employe as- sertedly sustained in Q fall at the Hitchcock apartments, l64-0z West Main street, last January 1T, and damages of $25, 900 had been sought. Defendants and sponsoring the mo- tlon. are William H. Humphrey of Tuckahoe, N. Y: Grace E. Hum phrey of New Platz. N. F. and the Colonial Trust Company, guardian of the estate of Frederick F. Hum phrey.
 A demurrer to an amended com plaint, filed by Attorney Michael V. Blansfield, will also be ruled upon by Judge Cornell. Litigation involves a claim for damages of $l0,O0O, en- tered by Helen Adamskt of this city against the City of Waterbury, for injuries allegedly suffered in c fall on Albert Place. Tn Q demurrer to an answer filed by the city, the plaintiff declares that the clty's contention that Albert Place has never been recognized as a public highway ia the city eg Waterbury, is unconstitutional. and a violation of the constitutions of both the state Of Connecticut and the United GtmkAR

 As 1t looks now, then, the gov. ernor's appointees in these two de. partments are likely to give him two major state accomplishments before the next election rolls around.
 There is c fight going on be. tween state bNdgetafy authorities and Che board of the Newington home for crippled children as t0 who will supervise construction of . new hospital wing. The legis. lature appropriated about $l6O,O00 for this Newington Construction, but did not specify that the State Public Works Department should build it.
 The Newington board hired its own architect, and made it's own plans to spend the money. State budget officials now are discon- tented with this set.up and want the public works department t0 have the supervisory authority. And there the matter rests for che time being.
 The internal situation in the State Highway Department has got everyone guessing. Undoubt. edly, some reorganization is pro- ceeding in the department, but the places occupied by some i'm. portant individuals remains cloudy.
 For instance, it appears that Deputy Frank Upn1an, Jr., has 6 great deal more authority than deputies usually have. Again, 1t is interesting that John Toohey, head of the addressograph depart ment and 6 S2,500 ernploye, should be studying the department set-up where many employees get more than he does. Then, the importa. tion of Arthur Johnson from the WPA at New Haven to do further study work as an executive as- slstant' remains slightly unex. plained.
 It ell points to one thing: the department Is being reorganized to conform more closely with recon. rnendations made by Governor Hurley when he investigated the division while state public works commissioner. And Upman ap- pears to De the individual who is doing 1t.

 Hartford, Conn, Oct. 23-(UP) Connecticut Republicans are grooming former State Treasurer Joseph E. Talbot, Naugatuck, for bi gthings. That is one of the req. sons behind the current agitation to have Talbot accept the Repub- lican nomination for congressman in the fifth (Waterbury) district.
 At this writing, 1t is not known whether Talbot will accept. He has several children and does not rel. ish the idea that, if elected, he will have to 90 to washington. But, 80 far as is known, Talbot has said neither yes nor no, and there the matter stands for the time being.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-10-23

The Republican state .organixa- tlOn is definitely behind Talbot for Che congressional nomination. In the 1888 state election, Talbot, now wOrkm en'S compensation commissioner fin Che fifth district, pOlled . heavy vote for state treas. urer, and he probably would like to run again for this post in Che 1928 state election.
 If former Governor Raymond '. Baldwin was not . candidate for reelection in 10z2-and he is . candidate-Talbot might con. slider trying for the top nomina. tl0n. But he will not oppose Bald- win, with whom he is very friend. ly. However, Talbot ls close Co Che state leaders, including Chairman J. Kenneth Bradley, and Samuel F. Pryor, IT,, former national committeeman.

C-)ygw,

He B defnitely in the picture for the gubernatorial nomination in l044 or le46. He is young, has a Nkeable personality, and can make c good speech.
 In addition, Talbot favors the foreign policy outlined by Wendell Willkie, and supported by former Governor Baldwin. Thus, once again, it appears that when the showdown comes in the Republic can party, Connecticut will ind it. self aligned with Willkie, and not with the isolationist Republicans. Connecticut leaders like Pryor, Baldwin and Talbot, and probably bradley, are definitely in the Wili- kie camp.
 Incidentally, in connection with the fifth district situation, there is . lot of talk that former state Senator Frank Hogan, Torrington, may be the Democratic nominee. Hogan, now employed in the hear. ings section of the State Motor Vehicles Department, is receiving pledges of support from all sec- tlOns of the district, and is con. sidering making the try, if and when Governor Hurley calls . spe. Clal election.
 The action of the State Publit Utilities Commission in revoking the rate increase granted by the same commission In 1899 to the New Haven Water Company was greeted warmly by administration Democrats. '
 It was greeted even more warm- ly by Mayor John W. Murphy of New Haven, who is right in the midst of Q reelection campaign. The decision undoubtedly will help him to win a sixth term.
 But the commissions action in the New Haven Water Company case win have real state political significance. With interest lag ging in state issues due to the international situation, Governor Hurley is now given a major acc complishment with which to go before the electorate next fall in his reelection campaign.
 His two appOintees to the conn., mission, Clyde OIin Fisher of Mid- dletown and Joseph F. O'COnnell of Bristol. Outvoted Joseph w. Alsop, . member of the 1889 conn mission which granted the New Haven concern the rate increase and probably will continue to out- vote him on forthcoming cases.
 These utility cases are excellent fodder for . political campaign, as the issue directly affects the tax payers pocketbook. The governor 4can point Co this or that saving, thls or that correction, and oppO- nents have no comeback whatsO- ever.
 Moreover, if by any chance state Milk Administrator Donald O. Hammerberg can achieve a reduc- ton in the price of milk to the consumer, even of a single penny, it will be another feather in Gov. Hurley's cap, and another thing about which to shout In 1o42. Again, opponents will find lt dif- flcult to argue on such an issue as a reduction in the price OG Enilks
