Every day our office is visited by men and women who want infor- nation and advice on their social security accounts-who want to know more about their personal stake in the federal insurance sys- tenn. Each one is interesting, but out of the many who come there are always few who stand out above the others. Each week we choose the most interesting among them to tell you about in this col ing any real names.
 This weeks visitor was young girl of nineteen. She had a month old infant in her arms. When she came in to see us the time before, hey drawn face was filled with trouble. Her young husband had just died then in military service at the age of 21, and what with the baby coming. she was pretty well broken up about it. We put through her claim for lump sum benefit of $15642. Having no child at that time, she was not entitled to monthly benefits. Now, however, that she had a child in her care, we could go ahead and put through a claim for monthly payments for herself and the baby. In fact, we had the papers all ready and knew the amount she was to receive S19.56 for her and $1304 for the baby, a total of $32.60 a month.
 You mean" said Mrs. M., that I will get $32.60 every months?'
 That's right, Mrs. M.," we said. Provided you do not marry again in the meantime, you will receive s32.60 every month until your boy is 16-or 18 if he stays in school"
 That is going to make lot of difference to me-" she said. You know I am getting s65.00 a month from the Veterans Administration, and this extra social security money will make things a lot easier for me. Now I'll be able to buy the baby's clothes and carriage and ev- erything else he needs, without touching Jacks national service life

to first lieutenant, it was announced by the War Department this week. They are on duty in army hospitals in this country and overseas.
 Among them is Flora M. Butler, of 199 Circuit avenue, Waterbury, Conn, who is now serving at Moore General Hospital, Swannanoa, N. c.
 Most of these physical therapists are treating war wounded evacuated from overseas. A large share of the physical therapist's work is devoted to teaching the patient to cooperate in the treatment to bring about his own improvement. Physical Thera- pists must also teach soldiers to adjust their mental attitudes so that they may return to civilian life with courage and a determination to make the best of any physical disability.
 Hundreds of physical therapists are needed to carry on this work, even into the post war era. Those interested may write Major Emma E. Vogel, Director of Physical Ther- apists, The Surgeon Generals Office, Washington 25, D. c.

bation officer and clerk to the lat | ter.
 Parties Choice Democrats are said to be inclined to giving the nod to the following among their faithful for the various posts; Judge Gaffney, Atty. Gordon Hutchinson, Atty. Stephen Homick and Atty. Carmen Cipriano. Atty. James LaWlor assistant city pur- chasing agent is said to be strong dark horse at this time.
 Just who the Republicans have chosen has not been determined. Top leaders state their principal problem now is the matter of the judgship and who shall be retained Despite reports that Atty. Albert Hummel is to be retained and Atty. Fred Palomba let go as prosecutor the reverse of this decision also has been heard. Leaders claim actually no decision has been made on the prosecutor.
 It seems definite that Atty. Yale Matzkin will be retained as proba- tion officer by the, COP with his salary now upped to $500 annually as result of passage of the city charter bill providing for such an increase. Atty. Matzkin has def initely been promised the post it is asserted, but recollection is made of a statement of Gov. Baldwin's that he would not allow any proba- ton job promises stand in the way of his idea of patronage distribu- tion.
 Governors Dilemma
 The Governor is in a difficult po- sition relative to the distribution He promised 6O-40 distribution of the posts throughout the state, where possible, if the General As sembly ratified the agreements among party leaders. Failure to do so on the latters part would seem to free the chief executive from this pledge.
 However he is in the embarras- sing position no matter what he does of receiving criticism from both Democrats and his own party, the COP.
 Should he divide the court posi- tions throughout the states 69 mi nor courts in a 60-40 fashion there likely will be repurcussions from COP incumbents who will have to leave to permit Democratic ap- pointees to take over. AS the court posts are now pretty much solidly Republican, these incumbents who are required to leave are not going to take it gracefully. Should the chief executive fail to divide the positions equitably then the Demo- crats will raise cain.
 Governor Irked
 The Governor is incensed over the failure of the Legislature to ra- tify his appointments of the com- missioners of motor vehicles and statues revision departments, which now has him in the embarrassing position of facing a court fight to determine the legality of his power to replace the present commission CTS without Legislative ratification The tagging method of ratifying the appointments of Atty. John Comley and Atty. Francis Palotti as superior court judges by the Legislature. also has rubbed the chief executive the wrong way.
 So it remains anyone's guess at this time as to just what will be the outcome. The Governor Is cracking the ,.hip now and who will feel its sting is speculative.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-06-09

Waterbury'S city court situation now appears to be anyone's guess insofar as what Governor Baldwin will do by way of sanctioning ap- pointments and distributing the various positions among both par ties.
 Local Democrats are concerned over the possible distribution to be effected while COP leaders are said to be in conflict over top jobs. The latter group likewise is expected to get together next week for the pur- pose of choosing new town chair man.
 Speculation was rife today over the possibility of Judge T. E. Con- way being reappointed as the COP judge instead of Judge Charles Summa. The latter was previously reliably reported as having been promised retention if and when Democrats are given the other bench positions.
 Leaders Split
 It has been rumored, however, that Judge Conway may possibly be retained in place of Judge Summa because of the formers $ association with the governor as a classmate. However, COP leaders are insisting upon Judge Summa because of the combined efforts of he and his brother, former state senator Francis Summa in last years city election when Roosevelt gained but $500 majority in a normally Democratic city.
 Meanwhile Democrats are said to have agreed to the appointment of former Judge John H. Gaffney for reappointment to the top position to be vacated by one Republican. However, it has been declared that some of these party leaders favored Atty. Carmen Cipriano as choice in- stead, principally, because of the latters endorsement for the judge ship by the Italian-American club.
 If Judge Conway is appointed in- stead of Judge Summa it does not seem likely that Democrats will be able to withdraw their decision on Judge Gaffney for replacement by Atty. Cipriano. Judge Gaffney has strong support among certain party leaders such as Maurice F. Tang ney town chairman and Sen. Pat rick Wallace.
 Anyone's Guess
 So broad has the speculation be- come on the situation since 1t was deposited with the governor due to lack of agreement by the legis- lature that talk is heard now of an all-Republican court being retained here. Gov. Baldwin is said to be incensed with the actions of both party leaders of the General As sembly and with COP leaders here and threatens, it is claimed, to handle the matter his way.
 Although not yet determined it is possible now that the verbal agreement between Democratic and COP leaders here as to the distri- button of the court positions may no longer exist. This latter agree ment was predicated upon the sanction by the legislature of the division. Now that the matter is in the hands of the governor every one will likely be applying individ- ual pressure to get what is obtain able.
 The original agreement, as stated here before, provided for the Dem- ocrats receiving a judge. prosecutor. cleN of court and assistant to the clerk. The COP was to receive a judge. prosecutor. small claims. pro-

 With The 1879th Eng. Aviation Bniin Manila-Cpl. Silvio Garceau is working on road construction with the 1879th Engineer Aviation battalion in Manila. He operates a 1000 gallon mobile tank that sprays hot tar on roads that have been especially prepared for spraying. The tar is kept hot by means of heating unit installed on two sides of the tank. The tank itself is pulled by four ton truck. As the tank moves along, the operator opens the jets and the tar flows into sprays on the rear of the tank. By this method, several hundred feet of road can be surfaced in a very few minutes.
 Garceau entered the army in March of 1943 at Ft. Devens, Mass. He took basic training in Keisler Field, Miss.
