A program to correct speech de- fleets, for local school children was advocated by Mrs. Elton Wayland at yesterdays Public Health coun- Gil meeting.
 Mrs. Wayland president of the Waterbury Mental Hygiene Society said that at present there are 136 children in local schools, so handi- capped.
 Dr. E. J. Godfrey city health of ficer told the council of the extent of the current plans for the con- struction of isolation quarters for contagious diseases cases to be erected, if possible, as an adjunct wing to one of the local hospitals.

The city health officer stated that the plans are by no means final.

Vote Delayed On Nominees
RY JOHN D. CUTTER

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Washington, December 14.-(UP). = The Senate Foreign Relations Committee, looking toward prompt action on six top State Department nominations, met in closed session today to permit Senator Joseph F. Guffey, D., Pa, to question one of the nominees = James c. Dunn - on the part he played in forming U. s. policy on the Spanish Civil War in 1887.
 Guffey spent several hours last night studying State Department records of reports submitted by Claude G. Bowers, U. s. Ambassador to Spain at the time of the civil war there. Guffey refused to comment but it was understood the docu- ments bore out his belief that Bow CTS supported the Loyalist, or anti Franco, cause in the conflict.
 It also was understood that the senator had been unable to deter mine from initials on the reports. whether they had been transmitted to then Secretary of State Cordell Hull Guffey previously had indi- cated his belief that they had got ten no further than Dunn, at that time special assistant to Hull and director of the State Departments European division. Dunr'S name is now before the committee as one of five nominees to be assistant secre- taries of state.
 Guffey also refused to say whether he had found mysterious lost document". to which he had refer red previously, presumably a re- report frcm Bowers recommending that this country adopt a pro-Loy- alist policy in connection with the Spanish Civil War. It was believed, however, that he had seen several documents any of which might have been the one to which he referred.
 The United States maintained a neutral policy in connection with the Spanish conflict. Some people criticized the State Department for doing so, conterding that the policy actually aided the revolu- tionary cause of Gen. Grancisco Ranco.
 The other nominations before the committee were those of Jo- seph c. Grew to be undersecretary of state and Archibald MacL.eish, William L. Clayton, Nelson Rocke- feller and Brig Gen. Julius Holmes to be assistant secretaries.
 Another Request
 Another request for further ques- tioning came from Robert G. Will son, Washington attorney who told reporters he resigned from the Metals Reserve O., subsidiary of the Reconstruction Finance Corp, last February in protest against policies which he said were made by Clayton, a former REC executive.
 Wilson suggested that Chairman Tom Connally, D., Tex, questioned Clayton regarding allegedly "un- justified1 risks. investments and expenditures of the REC in deal- ines with the Aluminium Company

 Bod Heort Attack

Holyoke, Mass, Dec. 14.-OP)- Homer Rainault, widely y-known New England boxing promoter and opera tor of the Valley Arena here for nearly 20 years, suffered a heart seizure at his home today and was hospitalized in grave" condition.

 wilson also accused Clayton of unfortunate" failure to cooperate with other government agencies and of personnel practices involv- ing favoritism."
 Connally was not disposed, how ever, to reopen public hearings. He planned to bring the nominations before the Senate tomorrow after noon. He said he anticipated some floor debate but believed it would do nothing more than delay ultin- ate confirmation Of ell six nom- inees.
