NewHaven R. R. Gives
 Hint On Embargoes
President Palmer Not Optimistic That Drastic Action
 May Be Averted Until New Equipment Arrives

New Haven, Conn, April IS. = Howard S. Palmer president of The New Haven Railroad, in his re- marks at the annual meeting of stockholders here this afternoon, declared that if the New Haven does not receive delivery of loco motives now on order, T would not be so optimistic as to say there is no possibility of embargoes or the rationing of transportation during the latter part of this year or early next year"
 Vital Life Line
 MT. Palmer pointed out that the New Haven, "an important link in the vital life line connecting the great industrial plants of New Eng land with our armed forces and those of our allies" has had on or- der for several months twelve diesel electric freight locomotives, ten elec- tric freight locomotives, twenty Die sel switching engines, fifty steel cabooses, and other miscellaneous equipment, costing total of $7,650,- OOO. If the War Production Board permits delivery of this equipment, he declared i've expect to be able to handle all of the increased freight traffic which is now anticipated, but I fear we may not be able to do so unless the locomotives we have or dered are delivered to us as sched- uled."
 Freight revenues for the first quar- ter were 34 per cent ahead of last year, Mir. Palmer stated. and since the first of March gross ton miles have consistently exceeded the peak week of October. 1929 "What the future vii lbring" he added mo one can tell but it is freely predicted that our freight traffic load will be much heavier beginning this fall and eX- tending over into 1943."
 The 194l upward trend of gross revenues operating, expenses and taxes both state and federal, is still continuing, MT. Palmer reported. After allowing for increased costs and taxes, he said, the New Haven now anticipates 8 net income, based on present capital structure, of $1 ,880, GOO, which is $1,425, 900 better than the first quarter of 194l.
 Passenger Revenues
 Passenger revenues for the first quarter of 1922 were about A per cent higher than for the same quar- ter of 1941. ''With tire and motor vehicle rationing, curtailment of coastwiSe steamship service and the increasing troop movements, we arl- ticipate further substantial increases in passenger traffic." the New Ha- ven president said. He called att tention to the roads newspaper ad- vertising campaign urging the sym pathetic cooperation of the public during the war emergency and ask ing wherever possible that trips be

SculIy Case Continued To Friday
Board TO Use Axe
 Tonight On Budget
Must Be Ready By Saturday; Warden Regards New
 Budget as Tough Problem

aries amounted to $23,a51. Thls includes e 10 percent increase for school employees made effective hy the school board January 1, despite the fact the freemen had not ssl-i thorized 1t. It also includes fatr- ther raise for teachers from kinder gartens to sixth grades in public schools.
 It is barely possible the board might cut here and there in other departments so as to allow these raises in this department to stand. But if it did, those in other depart ments who are asking increases would howl to the high heavens. and, many think justly so.
 One thing is evident, the boagd can't dilly-dally tonight as 1t did Monday evening for if it does when Saturday comes, it will face q task that might require the assistance of SupermaIl.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-04-15

Naugatuck, April 15-The board of warden and burgeSseS will have to start to use their axes tonight on budget proposals at a meeting to be held at 8 o'clock at the town hall. At least one burgess would not be able to attend if any other meeting were set for either Thursday or Friday and the budget has to be &C., cepted by Saturday, so much of the work must be done tonight, either that or Warden Leo J. Brophy will have to propose a budget to the freemen himself.
 Near the close of the intellectual session Monday night. MT. Brophy said the budget for the fiscal year is as tough problem as any borough board has ever had, but reminded that next year it will be more dif- ficult, for at least a quarter of a million dollars will be sliced from the grand list because of the fact no new autos will be sold, the bor- ough may not then be able to get the annual $175OO grant from the state for roads, and other factors will decrease the revenue, he indt- cated.
 Referring to the present budget proposals, he said, "It is easy enough to ask for a certain amount. But they know you have to say mo" to some of them because there isn't enough money. We don't want to handicap any service of the differ ent departments" he said.
 This is the real task of the board tonight, to determine how not to handicap any services and at the same time keep the budget within the revenue allowed.
 Department Requests
 The various department requests are: general administration, $122,- 192.20 as compared with a $124,00C appropriation for last year; public safety, $91, ,888.50 as compared with $87, ,2S3 appropriated last year: spe- cial appropriations, no budget re- quest submitted yet; health anc sanitation, $500 as compared with $7,9O0 last year; education, $245,- O26.4O as compared with $214,07S last year; public works, $75,O00 same as last years appropriation welfare department, $45,000 as com pared with $5O,O00 last year. Ther there will be a civilian defense re- quest for an amount between $8,00( and $1OOO0. There is $l2,305 in new revenue, it has been stated.
 It is expected the public work department will have a surplus thi year of 5000 and the welfare de partment is likely to have a 5000 surplus. The school department hat 8 deficit of $13,578.
 It seems evident now that 1t vii be impossible for the board to oka, the school department request fo $245, ,026. The board Monday nign estimated that the increase in sal

 Chicago, April IS. (UP)-Sen. c. Wayland Brooks, pre-war Isolation ist, will face Rep. Raymond s. Me- Keough, Democrat and Staunch ad- ministration supporter, in the sem atorial election this fall, returns from yeserday's primary balloting showed today.
 It was the nations first primary since Pearl Harbor
 Broks boiled large pluralities both in Chicago and downstate to lead his principal challenger, State Treasurer Warren Wright, by 8 margin of more than four to one.
 McKeough, supported by Chicago's Kelly-Nash organization, built up an overwhelming lead in Cook county (Chicago) where his indi- cated plurality was approximately 300,000. His chief opponent, Paul H. Douglas, Chicago alderman and Uni versity of Chicago economist, led in downstate voting by a narrow mar gin.
 Brooks, World War veteran elect ed to 8 senate vacancy two years ago, did not conduct a campaign, leaving that to his followers. He was supported by most of the state Re- publican party leaders.
 He Owes Allegiance
 In 0 victory statement, Brooks said he owed "the same allegiance to the President of the United tSates as every other loyal citizen" and that he would do everything in his power "to aid in the deadly struggle against the treacherouS ag- greSsors of the world with whom we are at deaths grip today"
 In the campaign, Wright had at tackled Broks' record of opposition to the administrations foreign pol- icy before the nation entered the war.
 Nominations for 26 congressional seats also were Q tstake in the pri- mary. The Republican congressmaIl- at-large contest produced a close race between the incumbent, Stephen A. Day, pr-war isolationist, and Denison B. Hull, Chicago archi- tect and long time supporter of ad- ministratoin foreign policy. Hull was endorsed by many Republican lead- CTS, supported Broks, but Day was the apaprent victor.
 Benjamin s. Adamowski, Chicago attorney, the Kelly-N Nash candidate, won the Democratic congressman at-large nomination by margin of more than five to one over Frank J. McAdams..
 Voting was light throughoujt the state, falling far short of the 1888 'Off-year" election record when more than 2,5O0. 900 balots were cast. The vote yesterday was expected to total approximately 1,B0O, 900, of which about l.000, 600 were recorded in the Nem0crmtic primary

Naugatuck, April Rebuilding In- spector Andrew F. Bentley told The Democrat today that much of the $315 paid him as a salary by the town goes for expenses on his job At the borough board meeting Mon- day night, Burgess Andrew O'Toole had advised either not giving the inspector the salary if he were to continue to get fees, or to set sal ary for the inspector, and have the town keep the fees.
 MT. Bentley indicated he won- dered what the fuss was about. He said he has to use his car in his work as building inspector, and often has to go to the same home more than once. He pointed out that although some borough off, cials get an allowance for use of their cars, he does not.
