 Out Incident in
 Brooklyn Area

Chairman Anthony R. Martino of the Taxpayers Good Government Party today denied a morning news paper story quoting him as saying that approximately 20 out of every 50 Waterbury veterans" are not on the voting list.
 T made no such general eriti- eism' said MT. Martino, and my remarks were obviously misinter- preted What I did say was that in the Brooklyn section, out of 50 cases in which we secured veterans signatures, we found Is whose names were not on the voting list made it clear that I was speak ing of just one part of the city
 The point I was making was that canvaSsers securing signatures for our nominating petitions should make certain that every signer is listed as voter. The canvassers should make every effort to see that veterans not listed are sworn in and are made eligible to vote. and that the names of those removed from the lists while away should be restored. This, I pointed out, was to the benefit of all voters and our democratic system.
 The party's next meeting will be held at The Elton Friday night.
 At the meeting which MT. Mar tlno addressed at The Elton last night, plans were made for an out ing Sunday at Lithuanian Park, Lakewood.
