 Defense Attorney Ernest Callen- der also brought 0 new mysterious item-a green silk thread-into the case while questioning Melchen, but its relation to the murder was not clarified.
 Did you see Q green silk thread on the screen in Oakes bedroom during your examination of the room on July s?" Calender asked Melchen.
 "No," he replied.

 ''When did you first learn of the thread?"
 "On this trip to Nassau" Mel chen said. He arrived on his second trip to the island about three weeks ago.
 Callender then dropped the sub- ject and changed the line of ques- tioning.

Instead, he implies that we should not have accepted federal aid from the government. The taxpayers of Waterbury will naturally bear their share of the enormous cost of this war. Does MT. Kearney mean that he would have had us refuse aid to which we are entitled2 Would he have spent s700.000 of the tax payers money to demonstrate his dislike of the national administra- ton?
 MT. Kearney states further that we are not using in excess of eleven million gallons Q day, implying that the new pipe line is unnecessary. He then makes the surprising and contradictory statement that he is nevertheless in favor of the new pipe line. The truth Is that his figure is inaccurate. I quote now from 0 letter addressed to me by MT. Scott.Smith, superintendent of

the water department. 'The old pipe line is delivering on an average of ten and one half million gallons 0 day which is it's effective capacity. The balance at Q rate of from two and or1e.half to seven million gal- Ions is being delivered through the new pipe line.
 When MT. Kearney further says that the Water Department is ef- ftciently and grossly mismanaged" the makes Q reckless accusation against the superintendent without a shred of evidence to support 1t.
 The final point raised is per. haps the most confusing and con- tradictory of all. After attacking the additional water supply project, MT. Kearney attempts to claim credit for it for the Republican party. He constantly refers to the fact that 1t was approved by 0 Republican controlled Legislature. Actually, only the Lower House was Republican as usual, in spite of the Democratic victory in 1941. The project was initiated by this admin istration. It was supported by many public spirited citizens, inc cluding Republicans who understood our industrial needs which Kearney now denies. It was, as we stated opposed by prominent Republicans Mir. Kearuey can discover this ops position by examining the newss paper files of that period.
 
 If Mir. Kearney wishes the Re. publican House to have it's share os the credit for a worthy project he is welcome. He should, however, make Up his mind whether he wishs es to attack the project as worthless or claim credit for 1t as sound and progressive action.

Mayor Riley Gets Rebuke

Washington, Oct. 27 - (U.P) - Director Elmer Davis of the Offlce of War Information has asked Mayor Earl Riley, of Portland, Ore, who is in England on lecture tour sponsored and paid for by OWI. to refrain from further criticism of any branch of the U. s. government and from political discussion or prognostication.
 Davis acted following publication of an interview Riley gave to the United Press in London on Satur- day in which he criticized as unfair to the British some of the views expressed by five United States sen- ators on their return to this coun- try from Q tour of Allied battle fronts.
 eff Mayor Riley has been correct ly quoted he is violating the in- structions given him on his depar- ture for England, which included prohibition of any discussion of American politics" Davis said.
 MT. Riley was sent to England to inform the people about wartime conditions in the United States, particularly on the Pacific Coast; and from reports we have received, he has done the job he was sent to do with great success and general satisfaction.
 "E5e undoubtedly thought that in giving the United Press interview he was speaking in his private cap- acity; but he has been advised that while on assignment from OWI he should refrain from criticisms of any branch of the government, and from political discussion or prog nostication."
 Riley is one of a group of Amer jeans which OWI has sent to Eng land. on invitation Of the British ministry of information, to acquaint British civilians with various phases of life in this country under war time conditions.
 The oWI arranges and pays for the transportation of the speakers and gives them el0 e day for ex- penses. Eight speakers already have bean aent and arrangements are be- Ing made to send six more this year. o1lcials estimated the total cost to oWI for speakers such as Riley would bo about alS0oo oE ei6ooo.
