BENEFIT CI AIMS
 DECREASE
2,4OO Fewer Workers Are Seeking Compensation at
 Close of August

Hartford, Conn, Sept. 24.-New unemployment claims showed a drop from 9,163 to 6,427; reduction of more than 29 per cent, Employment Security Director James J. Graham announced today. The amount of money paid out in benefits also showed decline of more than 19 per cent,
 Shaxpest Crops were noted in Danielson; New Haven, New Lon don and Torrington districts; the only increases were reported in Bris- tol Thompsonville and Willimantic ! That this downward trend would continue seemed evident to MT. Graham, on the basis of the fact that an estimated 2,4O0 fewer work CTS weer actively filing benefit claims at the end of the month than at the beginning.
 Further cuts are. expected from theh intensive analysis of the "avail- ability for worky of all people now filing unemployment claims, which is now being conducted by the Un- employment Department. Prelim- mary studies have indicated that :...ii- ny of these applicants for bene- fits are so restricting their avail ability by refusing to work certain hours, or refusing to work in any but specific iobS.

KENNY CONFIDENT
 OF NOMINATION
Candidate for Congress Expects City's DeIega-
 ton to Support Him

Laurence Kenny, local candidate for the Democratic congressional nomination in the fifth congress sional district, said today that he was highly confident of victory at the district convention in Torrington Saturday afternoon despite reports of increased strength for his rival, Mayor William A. Patten of For rington. At a caucus of the 46 Wa terbury delegates at the city hall tonight, a formal pledge to the Kenny candidacy will be sought.
 "The purpose of the caucus" said Mir. Kenny, 'is to get Waterbury's votes definitely pledged to me, so that there will be no misunderstood ing. I don't anticipate the least bit of trouble in securing such a pledge, since I have been promised that Waterbury will be 100 per cent be- hind me. I want to assure to doubt ing Thomases up and down the val- ley that Waterbury is with me all the way"
 Meanwhile, supporters of Mayor Patten were prpedicting his nom- ination on the first ballot. They claimed delegate strength far be- yond 8 majority.
 Mir. Kenny expressed doubt of the correctness of published reports that Mayor Andrew Nolan of An sonia would speak for Mayor Pat ten at the convention.
 50 far as I know" said MT. Kenny, Mayor Nolan is not deI- egate to the convention and will have no part in it."
 He also discounted reports of pro- -Patten sentiment in down. valley cities and towns.

 The Democrat nominee Saturday will oppose Congressman Joseph E. Talbot. Republican, who was elected in special election last January, and Edward J. Ryan, American Progressive.
