Accordingly all one can say is
that on the whole the stock does
not seem likely TO decline much
and has not definitely abandoned
efforts 10 rise further; but eau
ton suggests that there are posi-
bilities Of further reaction TO still
lower resistance levels.
II can be said that in general
the market lacks breadth on the
rally. and that the volume Of
trading has not Yet shown a-tend-
-ency TO expand on rise in prices.
/ When all is said. however the
writer is still more impressed with
the favorable long-rln symptoms
than with the indications of a
possible minor trading reaction.

 You know, Ernie Poulis is good hearted fellow; the other night a sailor had flat in front of Ernie's house and he asked If he could borrow tire. Ernie said sure and even helped to put 1t on. Now Ernie has no tire for hts car-the sailor never came back-and whats more he had never seen the sailor before in his life.
 If any of you fellows have job that's too heavy for you, give 1t to Cook-he's making all those heavy ones now.

Newport All-Stars Defeat FEB Diesels
Joe Kane, Sports Ed.

The Sunset League AlI-Stars de- feated the Electric Boat Diesels in night game played at Newport Wednesday. July 18th. The final score was 3 to 2. the All Stars com ing from behind the score two runs in the 9th inning,
 This ovens the series between the two clubs, each having won one game.
 The Boatmen seemed to have the game safely within their grasp, go- ing into the last half of the 9th with a one-run lead The first bat ter was retired. The second man reached and attempted to steal. The ball was waiting for him at second base but the umpire ruled "safe." The decision caused a furious ar gument and with this break in their favor. the home club went on to win.
 McKenna did the pitching for the Diesels and Red Evans. formerly of the Brooklyn Dodgers. was on the mound for Newport.

In the main event scheduled for eight rounds, Joe PopeSki of the Electric Boat Co. scored a techni- cal knockout over Billy Brown of Hartford. Brown was unable to an- swer the 7th round bell due to 8 partially dislocated hip. The first round was action-packed. with both boys moving fast and punching sharply. Midway in the second round, Popeski tired and from then until late in the sixth round when he delivered the finishing body blow. he took terrific beating. Brown was unable to floor his heavier opponent. however. and showed respect for Popeski'S punching power at all times. The Electric Boat boy finally. did land and as handsome Billy turned to let the blow slide off his body. the quick pivot. combined with the powerful hook, pulled the nerves in his left side and partially dis located the hip joint.
 Brown did his best to come out in the seventh but his leg just wouldn't respond and Popeski's hand was raised in victory by Ref cree Hugh Dev1in. This win by Popeski evens the score, Brown having won over Joe previously at Norwich. The bout had such 8 unique ending, most of the crowd fingered in the Auditorium to see what developed rather than rush the exits aS per usual.
 Jack Cutie won decisive but dull decision over Johnny Coe in the semi-windup of six rounds. This was the only bout lacking crowd appeal, with Cutie employ ing his usual holding tactics.
 The real thriller of the evening brought together two beautifully built boys. Jack Hawks of Hartford and Tommy Keene of Pittsburgh. Keene. with his superior boxing skill and sharper punching. com- pletely dominated proceedings for the first three rounds. Tn the fourth however, Keene himself became the k. o. victim when Hawks cor nered the tiring Pittsburgher and sent home a series of right upper cuts to the jaw. Then Hawks stepped back, and barely able to stand himself, watched Keene be- ing counted out.
 In another bout. good enough for top billing, Johnny Lovett, weigh ing 14O. of Providence. decisioned Billy Marcus, 138. of Hartford. This bout also brought the fans to their feet, especially in the fourth

If the women teachers are pres ent at the meeting, which is sched- uled for Monday, Feb. 2, it will mark their first appearance before the newly formed board recently organ ized to serve the two term period of 1944 and 1945.
 At the last appearance of the teachers before board of educa- tion the latter expressed a major ity approval of the justice" of the appeal but denied any suggestions for formative program to assure positive action on the matter.
 Representatives of the teachers, who have appealed to other author itative sources, state that the issue has become one of women's rights in addition to an attempt to discard an obsolete and outmoded generaliza- tion" that hampers the morale of lo- cal women teachers who are per- forming the same teaching duties as the men teachers, but receiving less salary. It has been strongly cited by proponents of equilization that in- dustry and the professions are rap idly adopting salary equalization policies in their dealings with em- ployes.
 The local women teachers have re- ceived strong formal support from various prominent organizations in the city whose total representative membership approximates 13O00. AL ready on record as favoring the equalization are the following or ganizations, listed in the order which they forwarded their support; Women's Democratic Booster club; Waterbury chapter of A. A. U. w.; Bunker Hill Literary club; Quota club; Business and Professional Women'S club; Council of Catholic Women; Corona club; Waterbury League of Women Voters; Santa Maria, Daughters of Isabella and

POST WAR PLANS
 TO BE DISCUSSED
Mayor on Visit to Boston Today to Meet Federal
 Authorities

Mayor John S. Monagan today travelled to Boston to confer with J. A. Mcconnell, Federal Works Agency director. The purpose of the conference will be to determine whether or not the federal govern ment will subsidize a program for Waterbury whereby preliminary plans for postwar developments may be set into motion.
 It is felt by local authorities that municipalities with definite plans and specifications already em- bodied at the close of the war for postwar developments will be in a more advantageous position to pro- ceed with actual developments.
 Some of the plans called for in Waterbury's tentative postwar pro- gram entail the construction of a sewage disposal plant, preliminary specifications for which have al- ready been submitted to the state commission; street improvements; building and zoning changes and other pertinent matters. Actual layout and specifications for these matters constitutes heavy drain on city financial resources inas- much as, at the present, they are non-profit expenditures.

BRODERICK, LEARY
 HEARINGS FEB. }
Waterbury Men Appeal Judge J. Rufus Booths
 Finding

Hearings have been scheduled for Thursday, Febrpary 3, at 10:30 g. m., in the companion cases brought against the City of Waterbury and appealed to the State Supreme Court of Errors in Hartford by John Broderick of Waterbury and by James Leary of Waterbury, as administrator of the estate of the late John McKeeman, according to the court assignment list released today.
 The litigation is based on in- juries sustained November 27, 1885, when a scaffold collapsed as the two men were making repairs to the Leavenworth High school build ing. MT. McKeeman died after the suit was instituted in superior court and the administrator of his estate then carried on the proceedings. Both workers were employed by the EZRA and WPA, but the City sup piled equipment for the work.
 It was alleged in the trial court that the city was negligent for all lowing use of 8 ladder which had defective rung. Judge John Ru- fus Booth, who presided at the hearing, ruled the city could not be held negligent because ordinary ex- animation of the ladder could not have disclosed any defect.
 Damages of $15,000 were sought by MT. Broderick and $25,000 by the other plaintiff.
