LOCAL FIREMAN
 CARDINALS KIN
Private w. Faulhaber Rel= alive of PreIate Who De-
 fled Nazi Leaders

Cardinal Faulhaber, Archbishop of Munich, who was reported re- gently by an American correspond ent to be "the only fair-minded German we have met has a rela- tive in Waterbury, the Democrat learned today.
 He is William Faulhaber, fire man at the Baldwin street fire house, who resides at Cornelius avenue. The Waterbury flrefghter said the cardinal is brother Of his grandfather, George Faulhaber, who migrated to New Haven, more than 50 years ago, and became a prominent insurance broker there. The New Haven man died about 30 years ago and the Fulhaber family eventually lost contact of the German clergyman.
 However We were all happy to hear the report about the Cardinal his grand nephew said.'
 The cardinal, it was reported, per- sistently refused to knuckle to the Nazis even though the Gestapo had it's headquarters next door to his palace. Even when Naziism was get ting its roots in Germany in 1885, the Gestapo attempted to suppress the Cardinal, but they never dare violate him, it was been reported For years he openly attacked Nazi doctrines in sermons and pastoral letters, but he said he couldn't fight too openly for fear of reprisals against priests on his staff, if not against himself.
 He protested most vehemently against the deep damage inflicted to the Germans moral fiber, pointing out that they had developed an an ti-Christian atmosphere.
 The Cardinal expressed pleasure that Americans had occupied Mu- mich.
 T like very much Americans free ways" he said. They have that freedom SO characteristic of Amer ica. And it's that freedom which we lacked 50 badly in recent years"

Naugatuck, May 5-Even though John Wilkas, borough garbage col lector, carries out his pledge to re- sign if Gardner Wood, Republican nominee for warden, is elected, the collection will continue as usual, MT Wood declared today A statement was made yesterday by MT. W!lkas to the effect that if the Republican nominee Wias in the borough election Monday his first job would be to look for an- ether collector.
 The c. o. P. nominee attributed MT. WilkaS' threat to petty poli- tics" and said he has already re- ceived several offers from men who would be willing to take over the collection if MT. Wilkas breaks his contract.
 1 MT. Woods statement follows: MT Wilkas refuses to collect gar- bage in Naugatuck for Repubh- can administration. In my state ments to the press during the cam- paign I remarked that I would aim to take petty politics out of the various departments of the muni- cipal government.
 Apparently I have overlooked the present administrations hookup with the garbage collector. Just what kind of a setup can it be when an individual rCder contract refuses to do business only with the party in power? If my party is elected to power Monday, May ', and the present garbage collector desires to break his contract, I will guarantee the taxpayers of Nauga- tuck that their collection of garbage will go on.
 MT. Wilkas said he cannot under stand how MT. Wood could do any better il aiding the collection. The collector pointed out help is diffi- cult to obtain as this work is not considered essential to the war effort.
 He declared he has tried his best to get additional help but has been unsuccessful. The job itself is not a pleasant one and most men would prefer to work elsewhere, he said Due to the labor shortageI am doing the best I can, he said.
 If MT Wood is elected he will be taking big headache by taking over the garbage collection, MT Wilkas said in affirming his inten- ton to discontinue his services if the Republican nominee wins.
 Recreaton Area Planned
 Efforts are being made to have land former New England arch set aside for public picnic ground and recreation area, William Ploski, Re- publican nominee for treasurer, saio Friday.
 State Sen. William A. Painter MT. Ploski, A. F. Alexander, direc- tive secretary of the State Park! and Forest Commissioner, anc James Lyons, Republican nominet for burgess in the third ward hay, conferred on the matter, MT. Plosk said.
 The land was given to the stat park department last year by the J Il. Wnltt6mOre CO.
 A swimming pool would be in cluded in the recreation area, ac. cording to MT. Ploski. He said that the town needs such a recreation area. Other residents of the state would be able to use the facilities also.
 He said the Mill street Bridge would be replaced for vehicular trai fic. A foot bridge crosses the brook now.
