 until today after hearing lengthy arguments on Octber 26, of Attorney Frederick H. Warehouse, Hartford, the defendants counsel, and Attor- ney w. w. Gager, representing the city. Only Leary himself can pro- duce the specific type of informa- ton his counsel is seeking, declared Gager, who is seeking on behalf of the plaintiff a judgment by default on the first count of the complaint, alleging no pleadings have been made to a specific statement of the city. Waterhouse asserted the spe- cific statement does not comply with the orders of the court.
 Motion Denied
 Judge Cornell said in his decision handed down today:
 Notwithstanding this condition has obtained since August g, l94o, the defendant has failed to seek by motion any further elaboration of the claim made against him or to plead to the merits. The instant motion is, in consequence, in order. It would be granted were it not like ly that such action would be promptly followed by a motion to open such a default judgment to avoid such consequences. The mo- ton is denied and an order may De entered"
 Though the former city controller today was given another oppor- tunity to explain the disappearance of over half million dollars pe- longing to the city of Waterbury, 1t was pointed out by Attorney Gager during the hearing several weeks ago, that records which would supply the detailed information sought by the defendent counsel were burned in three city nres' further quoting comments made m that respect by the State Supreme Court in the conspiracy case ap- peal decision of l94i, !,
 Waterhouse on the other hand argued that the plaintiff had not produced information he seeks as the defendants counsel, speclally charging that statement flled last January was "all in the nature oi excuses as to why they shouldnt set forth facts as asked by the court order The plaintiffs claimed at that time that the books when contained the information were sllll impounded by States Attorney Hugh M, Acorn in Hartford
 Asks for Specific Data
 The count of the complaint ln- yolyed in the default motion con cerns an alleged violation ol q charter provision which prohibits the controller from oyerdrawing ap- propriations. Leary's attorney ae- inanded to know which were the oyerdrafts made by Leary, and as- serted in no instance has the plain tiff indicate dthe date, amounts and payees of the specific items al- legged overpaid. and also the failure of the plaintiffs to point out the specific claims drawn on the hlegal appropriations, if any.
 Gager argued that the purpose of the expenditures has no basis in determining liability of Leary. Even if the expenditures were made Tor legitimate purpose. he declared. liability exists for overdrafts. under the city charter. he argued. He fur- ther claimed the request for specific

 In his letter to the board, Mar sella pointed out that he has been regular member of the police department as patrolman for the past 10 years and supernumerary for the previous l3 years. The record shows that he has been commended by the present and previous police boards, the officer added.

 1. Members of the department are authorized to fully and freely associate themselves in organiZa- tions of their own choosing for their mutual benefit and advance ment.
 2. That the Board of Fire com- missioners shall formulate and establish in the department ef- fective machinery whereby griev- ances, complaints, problems or sug- qestions may be presented by the or ganization or its representatives.
 3. Any organization formed is to prohibit any employe from partici- pating in a stoppage of work or in a strike against the city of Water bury.
 4. No employe shall be punished, disciplined or discriminated against, nor shall his status, position, salary, advancement or any other rights be affected in any way by reason of his membership in any organization.
 5. The mayor shall have the right to intervene in any dispute If he deems 1t desirable or necessary of in the interests Of the city.
 This is the third attempt made in seeking such privileges. Previous attempts were made through the Board of Aldermen and City Cor poration Counsel Maurice T. Healey both of whom rejected the demands. The Central Labor Union AFL had made similar request Of both the police and fire departments for re- spective employees which, in turn, were rejected
