C.I.O.Leoder Scores Police
 Boord Action
Drlseoll IR
 Public Comment Mokes choPqes

The Police Boards Committee on Men and Discipline ls the target of sharp criticism by State cI.o. sec- retary John j. prlscoll for "hush. ing up" the charges made against captain John VI, Leary by members of the Mine, Mlil z Shelter work CTS Union.
 Tn a statement last night, Mir. Drlscoll declared. that the commit tee obviously exceeded its powers" ln falling to have a public hearing on the charges The committees action, he said, furnishes "another reason for a change In city admin lstratlon next year"
 Mir. Discolls statement.
 The decision of the Committee on Men and Discipline of the Board of Police Commissioners In dlsinlsslng the charges against Captain Leary for his conduct In the Risdon strike seems to me e whlte-wash job which should cause serious concern to thinking citizens of this cofn- munity.
 The only question before the com nittee was whether there was probable cause for the charges made by five citizens of good character against Captain Leary. It Seems to me that the committee obviously exceeded It's powers in hushing up the charges without affordlne a public hearing to the complainants.
 The union strongly feels that in . matter involving anything as inc portant as civil liberties, the public should have an opportunity to know all the facts. The star cham Der type of hearing is an insidious and dangerous procedure in @ situa. ton of this kind. The union had sufficient confidence in the justifl- cation of its charges against Cap- tain Leary to want them publicly aired. The Police Board commit- tee must have had it's own motives in restoring to providing the pub- lic with only its own version of the testimony of the five complaining witnesses.
 The union believes 1t Of some significance in this case that two of the three members of this Police Board committee are directly con- nected with industrial manage ment; and that the third is man. aging editor of a newspaper which has consistently attacked organized labor, including unfriendly editor- ializing on the Risdon strike.
 Waterbury citizens should find in this decision another reason, for change in city administration next year. The Police Board is a creature of the administration which has shown its attitude to- wards labor all too clearly in the City Yard strike and the denial to all its employees of the right of collective bargaining. This simply is another chapter in the same book.
