NEW DISABILITY
RATES in EFFECT
Recent Amendments to
Law Benefit Many Water
bury Workers

/ Scores Of workers in the Water
bury area have already benefited
from changes made by the General
Assembly in the State Compensation
Act, it was revealed today, and 4
vast increase in payments is ex-
pected to result here in the coming
year due to the new increased-pay-
ment schedule. Increases over the
rates previously in force have been
ordered for several specified per-
manent hand and arm injuries and
boosts have been effected on maxi
mum disability payments and on
funeral expenses.
The new regulations, which cover
injuries sustained since last Oct.
l, provide for a maximum payment
Of $50 weekly during disability in
stead of $25 as before. Workers
who earn more than $50 will benefit
from the new ruling, as payments
| represent one-half of the weekly
earnings up to the maximum
amount.
Payment for loss of a thumb has
been increased from 60 weeks to IS
for the first finger from SO to 4a
weeks and for the second finger
| from 30 to 80 weeks. The weekly
payments Is based on the amount of
! the earnings as for disability pay
ments, and for partial lose Of fin
ger a proportionate reduction is
made in the length of the period
The maximum periods for the
third and fourth fingers stand as
before at Is and 20 Weeks, respec-
| lively.
Total loss OF the hand will result
in weekly payments for 203 weeks
now instead of IT'S as previously, and
an arm loss will bring payments
for 275 weeks instead Of 225 weeks
as before, according to the new pro-
visions.
Disfigurements Of the forearm as
well as the hand, face, neck, and
head, are now included in the listing
of specific injuries.
Persons who miss three weeks or
more from their work as result OF
injuries will receive payments from
the day of injury and will not face
the one week waiting period in
force before Oct. I. Those who miss
less than three weeks from their en-
ployment will still lose one weeks
disability payment, however.
An increase of $50 has been ap-
proved for funeral expenses, pre-
viously set at 5000.

Harry Byrd Attacks
Federal Bureaucracy
Virginia Senator Calls Upon Americans to Encourage
Congress to Withstand Vandalism on Treasury

! ton of noneSsential federal expendi-
lures, of which 1 am chairman,
has labored long to bring economy
out Of profligacy in government. In
the two years of its existence it
has saved, through recommendations
affected by the congress, over ST.
000 100000 in federal funds.
A three-point program, advocated
by Senator Byrd as necessary for
further economy in the federal gov
eminent, includes: 1.-The liquidation
Of duplicating and unnecessary
agencies, the elimination of nom
essential personnel, and the removal
of wasteful administrative COSTS
AS an example of duplicating and
unnecessary agencies" Senator Byrd
cites the IL Regional Agricultural
Credit Corporations, stating: when
the corporations were re-eStablished
recently, they were not only COM
peting with private lending institu-
tons, we'll able and eager to assist
farmers, but they were also dupli-
eating wholly or in part the lending
activities of II other federal agri-
cultural lending agencies"
Senator Byrd'S article also attacks
federal policies such as duplicating
activities in personnel recruiting,
needless perpetuation OF activities,
unnecessary expenditures, excess en-
ployment, overlapping of functions -
and waste of public funds through
daily routine procedures" in han
ding communications and travel.
1.-THE joint committee on reduc-
ton of noneSsential federal expendi-
lures" the senator declares, has
estimated that at least 100000 en-
ployes may be reduced from federal
roles and transferred to essential
war work. Were this done, a saw
ings of some 100000, coo would be
effected annually and much Of the
needless duplicating and confusion
would be eliminated.
But bureaucracy, bound and
blinded by red tape, evidently be-
manpower and money is justified.
Despite the chaos which results,
these men and this money evident
ly are dependable.
Were these duplicating and need
less agencies, this wasted personnel
and these exorbitant administrative
costs pared to the quick, the Amer
lean public might be assured that
the tremendous tax burden which it
now staggers under is entirely justi-
fable Senator Byrd writes in con-
clusion. But that burden would,
by the same token, be UNNECESSARILY
lightened. To accomplish this, the
congress must reassert authority. 1t
must act upon the faith bestowed
in 1t by the American voter"

SKATING RINK
BEING BUILT
Plot on Corner of Water.
town Avenue, Aurora
St. Taken Over

Work was begun officially yester-
day on the proposed combination
skating rink for the winter and
basketball diamond for summer use
to be constructed by the city on
that plot of land owned by the Wa
terbury Rolling Mill and located on
the corner of WATERFOWL avenue
and Aurora st.
The land was recently leased to
the city for this purpose for the
nominal sum of $1.00 per year by
Rolling Mill officials who expressed
enthusiasm as to the city's plans
The land as inspected and approx
ed by the Park Department Board
and James j. Curtin, Supt. of Parks
was advised to begin negotiations
with the company officials, which
subsequently resulted in the con-
tract.
Residents of the West End section
of the city have always been some
what handicapped when desirious
Of indulging in some winter skating
or summertime softball. UP to the
present they have had to resort to
such like facilities 6 those offered
by Hamilton and Fulton Parks, both
of which are an lnconvenient trave-
ling distance from this section.
At present the city is encounter
ing some difficulty in getting the
construction underway, due to the
sloping approaches leading to the
land proper, but once the equipment
has been set up developments are
expected to proceed rapidly. Park
Department officials are fully hope
full of its completion by the time
the skating season sets in. The To-
cations ability to hold N.,ter proper
ly and other necessary precautions
have been tested and proven ade-
quate, during the past few weeks.

Chicago, Nov. 13--The high cost
of government by bureaucracy" and
its effect upon the war effort is
attacked by Senator Harry F. Byrd
(Democrat) from Virginia, in an ar
ticle appearing in the November Is
issue of The Christian Advocate,
official weekly publication of The
Methodist church.
Denouncing the cost and inef1i-
cheney of the bureaucratic Federal
administration by citing specific ex-
amples of 'profligacy" in govern
ment agencies, Senator Byrd calls
upon the American people Ito re-
store sound governmental economy
by encouraging the congress to
withstand vandalism upon the public
treasury"
"They must show by word and
deed that the new philosophy of
public debt-the belief that contin-
ued government pump printing Is
necessary, even healthful-is con-
trary to their expressed beliefs and
desires" the senator writes. "Only
by so doing can the war effort to-
day and the peace problems OF to-
morrow be successfully resolved"
Senator Byrd begins his article
by calling attention to statement
he made in July, 1888: Govern
ment by bureaucracy is the most
costly government in the world. 1t
is inefficient because it is operated
from washington by men who have
not the business ability or personal
knowledge possessed by those en-
gagged in the particular industry
which the bureau controls In the
intervening decade I have not had
occasion to change my mind.
