Bristol City Get Pay Raises
 INereaSes Range
 From 5 10 l03o;
 C0unciImeR Upped

Bristol, April 3.-City employees were voted pay increases of from 6 to 10 per cent by the City Council at its meeting Tuesday night on recommendation of the salary com mittee. The raises become ef- fective with the start of the next fiscal year, July 1.
 The formula for the increases was explained as 10 per cent for those earning $30 week or under ' per cent for those earning be- tween $50 and $50 8 week, and per cent for those earning more than $50 week. Councilman Charles M. Riggs, salary commit tee chairman, stated that since l94l, with a lone exception. nc city employe, excluding part time workers and officials, has received an accumulated increase of less than 30 per cent.
 The one notable exception to this years wage formula was in the salary of Mayor Daniel Davis who was raised 600 to yearly salary of $4.S00, an increase of more than Is per cent. Council man Riggs told reporters after the meeting that the committed felt that the chief executives pay was out of line in comparison with that of other city officials and de- partment heads.
 When Mayor Davis took office in 194l his salary was $2,0O0. The committee evidently intended originally to increase the mayor this year only per cent, because on thet ypewlitten schedule sub- mitted by Councilman Riggs, an increase of $l95 was crossed out and $500 substituted in ink oppos- ite his name.
 The council also voted by ac- cepting the schedule to increase their own saladies from $200 tc $500 each. Councilman VincenzC Nesci. who was not at the meet. ing, left a letter, which was read by the mayor, stating that he op- posed previous attempts to raise the pay of councilnen and that he was still of the same mind. The council has jurisdiction over all salaries except those of Board of Education employees and the comptroller and his staff.

 sion of SIPS a year to Mrs Nellie T, Corcoran, widow of Capt. Will liam Corcoran of the Fire Depart ment, who died March 25. The pen- sion, prescribed by the Pension Act at one e-fourth the amount of Capt. Corcoran', salary of $2,0O2 a year, will be paid from March 26.
 Pvt. Peter Ef11norls of the Fire Department is seeking retirement based oh disability suffered when his ankle was injured in the Wa terville station in 1928. He has had 21 years service. His case, in ac- cordance with Pension Act provi- sions, has been referred to two Wa- terbury doctors.
 A letter was submitted by the five men from pr. M. J. Lawlor prom inent local physician and surgeon which stated that he had been treating the fireman's ankle period- ically since 1928. It was the opinion of pr. Lawlor that the fireman would never again have ample use of the ankle to perform regular duties of a fireman although suit able for specific light type duty.
 It. William Kinney of the Fire Department testified that the fire man has been absent for the past S7 days without pay most of the time. He had missed very little time previously. It. Kinney pointed out that the department has no de- sire to retain on the roster men not fully capable of handling their due ties.
 Substitute Work Counts
 Days worked as a substitute cit! employe, in any department, shoulS count toward retirement eligibility it was ruled by the Retiremen Board yesterday.
 The board rendered its opinio in response to request Iron School Supt. pr. John G. Gilman tin. pr. Gilmartin pointed out thai one John Sugrue custodian of tnf department began service as a sub stitute in 1898 working full tim' that year and then was made regular custodian the year follow ing. The man will have completed 20 wears and months service by the time he is 70 provided his sub stitute year is counted
 The board also voted that years of teaching accrued in districts which during the early years were not within the Waterbury district but now are would count equally with years of teaching in the reg ular city district.
 pr. Gilmartin also raised a question about substitute teach CTS time. He asked whether the substitutes days of teaching should be added together and divided by 180 the number of days con- sidered a teaching year = in or- der to figure years of service for pension purposes, or whether leO days of teaching service must be recorded in any one year in order to count toward retirement.
 The board was of the opinion that the substitutes service must be at least 1S0 days in any given year in order to count toward a pension, as in the case with regu- lar teachers. It ruled that fewer than 150 days in any given year would not be counted at all for pension purposes.

 Clay Franklin, who has given local audiences their moneys worth in directing previous productions, again has been engaged to handle the directing end of the current play.
 The Man Who Came To Din- her." which enjoyed a lengthy run on Broadway several seasons ago, has to do with an aged and cynical character who breaks his leg at the home of a friend where he had been invited to dinner. The leg fracture of course requires that this character stay at the home for prolonged visit. The prolonged visit, plus the acid tongue of the invited guest, makes for an un- happy time for the host and pro- vides a happy evening for the au- dience as they witness the man who came to dinner taking over the command of the household from a hapless host, powerleSs in the grasp of a glib, cynical talker.

Baptisfs Hit Church Council
As Menace 10 Christianity
By the Associated PFess

TExARKANA, Ark, Mar. a.
The American Baptist Association
in convention here, has adopted a
resolution terming the Federal
Council of Churches of Christ in
America menace to true Chris
tianity."
1--WE believe that said organization
is unscriptural," the association de-
clared, Gin that it denies many of
the fundamental doctrines of the
Christian faith and that it's purpose
to unionize all Christian churches is
upscriptural, unholy and undesira-
BILE, because it seeks to do so on the
basis Of modernism and the So
called social gospel. We see in the
preachments of number of its
leaders the tendency to Commu-
nism."
The Baptist association has no
connection with the council, the
resolution said, but the council pre-
sumes ito speak for all evangelical
Christianity and has made the i'm
preston that it represents all the
churches of America, including Bap-
fists. 1t Goes not at any time speak
for our churches"
The association represents Az
Baptist churches in II States, Hawaii
and Canada.
