West, 87 Brad- l tori Ave., A -general statement of. com- plaint about "bad road conditions" on upper Bradley St. was "handed" to.the.EAST HAVEN NEWS this week by Anthony De Mayo, of Bradley si. The president .of the Lynwood ; Civic Association, who submitted photographs ot the road in question, asserted that the pres- ent .administration had noli lived uplo Its prpniLses to keep the road in: good condilion. Fi'rst Selectman Frank S. Clancy was questioned about De Mayo's claims.: : , : , VDe Mayo doesn't have lo go into newspaper 'publicity to get this road fixed,", he snorted. "He has been told. Avhen we. can fix this road." He added that "We know thii road Is bad - 'we're not denying that-for amlnute -. but how can you patch a road In tho winter time." ' , DeMayo claimed that "I was or- iginally .told before half of Brad- ley St;,, as witne'sses thai when it (lh6 road) got bumpy, it vyould be scraped or patched." He challeng- ed'-claims by Clancy and Martin Hallbran, supervisor of "public- works,-that patches lo the'road .surface, pocked with depre.ssion.s,- could not be applied satisfactorily. ...'Briefly DeMayo made these claims;" ' / ' '1.

When the street is wot, pedes- trians are ' In constant danger of being muddied by passing cars. DeMayo. also revived the ques- tion of: drainage of water off the street.' He claimed that the run off crossed Laurel .St.. onto private property and has damaged a por- tion of the street surtac.e. He. asserted al:5o that the Town would have to consider where It would next drain tliis run-bff If houses are built at the point at which the water leaves the road. HCVICWB History In answer, Clancy reviewed the history of the problem. Last year residents In the area complained of water In a low part of Ihe street. First Selectman Frank Bar- ker's administration had brought In storm sewer pipes and "jiliod them up" In readiness for installa- tion. That was before election. The In-coming Clancy adminis- tration decided that the Toyvn was ijespon.slble only for tiip road it- self, which 'was a paved street n- bout 200 feet across. The decision was made to raise the- surface ot the road and this was done tor several hundred feet of: length. • Clancy and < Ha|loran took this reporter . for a. visit.to, the area, and tho first selectman pointed but tho. section of the,road .that was :ralsed .and the "curbing" of blue-diamond to channel the road surface water .down the road.

Randall Commission Report To Be Discussed By \ y b m e n Voters Tues.

The Bandall Commission Report on United States Foreign. Econo­mic Policy wlll-be'the subject of disciissloh at the East Shore meet­ing of the League of Women Vo­ters. . Members will meet Tuesday Mar. 16 at 8:30 p: m. in the home of Mrs. Robert L. West, 87 Brad-

l tori Ave.,

• A -general statement of. com­plaint about "bad road conditions" on upper Bradley St. was "handed" to.the.EAST HAVEN NEWS this week by Anthony De Mayo, of Bradley s i . The president .of the Lynwood ; Civic Association, who submitted photographs ot the road in question, asserted that the pres­ent .administration had noli lived up lo Its prpniLses to keep the road in: good condilion.

Fi'rst Selectman Frank S. Clancy was questioned about De Mayo's claims.: : , • : ,

VDe Mayo doesn't have lo go into newspaper 'publicity to get this road fixed,", he snorted. " H e has been told. Avhen we. can fix this road." He added that "We know thii road Is bad - 'we're not denying that-for a m l n u t e -. but how can you patch a road In tho winter time." ' ,

DeMayo claimed that "I was or­iginally .told before half of Brad­ley St;,, as witne'sses thai when it (lh6 road) got bumpy, it vyould be scraped or patched." He challeng­ed'-claims by Clancy and Martin Hallbran, supervisor of "public-works,-that patches lo the ' road .surface, pocked with depre.ssion.s,-could not be applied satisfactorily. ...'Briefly DeMayo made these claims;" ' / '

'1 . The-coedition, since ;"the so-cailpd re-paving was completed in November has gotten worse..". ' y.,! . 2.: The town is risking, claims

and,law suits because the'condition has existed for months, "arid thui is an accepted; street.!'; " I .have requested some refJairs' here since November, and -have been; "told that nothing can be done 'til Spring," he said. ;

3. When the street is wot, pedes­trians are ' In constant danger of being muddied by passing cars.

DeMayo. also revived the ques­tion of: drainage of water off the street.' He claimed that the run off crossed Laurel .St.. onto private property and has damaged a por­tion of the street surtac.e.

He. asserted al:5o that the Town would have to consider where It would next drain tliis run-bff If houses are built at the point at which the water leaves the road.

HCVICWB History In answer, Clancy reviewed the

history of the problem. Last year residents In the area complained

of water In a low part of Ihe street. First Selectman Frank Bar­ker's administration had brought In storm sewer pipes and "jiliod them up" In readiness for installa­tion. That was before election.

The In-coming Clancy adminis­tration decided that the Toyvn was ijespon.slble only for tiip road it­self, which 'was a paved street n-bout 200 feet across. The decision was made to raise the- surface ot the road and this was done tor several hundred feet of: length. • Clancy and < Ha|loran took this

reporter . for a. visit.to, the area, and tho first selectman pointed but tho. section of the,road .that was :ralsed .and the "curbing" of blue-diamond to channel the road surface water .down the road.

Clancy .blamed the generai lay-put of the -development, .as . t i je main, cau.se of. the difticulty, He a.sserted Ihat the 'p.revIou.s: admiii-istratlon w n s a t fault for; iiorrhit-ting the developer to build -one homo In a low area ot:the point; ot flooding. . ,-' The first selectman pointed out

the comparatlvo narrowness ot the paved section of Bradley St. -about'20 feet wide - claiming that the Town had widened^ the por­tion 'through the, Lynwood dovel- i opmenl by an additional tert feet.' "lie.(DeMayo)' doesn'tjglve us any credit.for'that", he said.'-,: : 'Clancy also indicated c^amago done to the'road shoulders .by; ex-

"Any community makes a num­ber of decisions which determine Its future development. As bonrd members, our decisions have n Rioiit-Impnct on 'tlie future of East Haven.

"We .should know as much ns possible of local civic affairs - • the activities of pur town. Its e.\-ponditurb.s,' Its' "population trend.s, Its ability' to pay its revenues, etc.

"in order to maki; decisions that will not ,bo detrimental' to East Haven, this ;cpmmltteo feels the charge of $950 is.'small tor profes­sional Inforh'intion from the Tech­nical Plnniiin^ Associates. .Educa­tion is a million - dollar industiy. A compai-atively small expenditure of this sort could,easily save seve­ral hundred ..thousand dollars in mistakes made through lack of foresight and .other natural errors resulting' from amateur planning.

The Techtiioal Planning A.ssoc-lates will comploib'a "pilot plan" for tho entire town of East Ha­ven by June. This over-all town plan will indicate only In outline form the.statistics ond bnckgroiind noodod to estlrjinte any future school exiianslon.

"After intensive study and dls-'cus.sldn,, this' commltteo recom­mends that the Board of Educa­tion postpone (laying tor any School .study until We ;have fully evalu­ated the rbsults of the proposed Tpllbt plan" available In Jiino. We blight be able to. rill in ihe no-ce.sSnry details ou-^sbivos. It, how­ever, after careful consideration. We foot wo need further help In 'planning pur tutu'ro. school prob­lems 'prdtesslOnn'lly, 'we can then work.wlth.the Tbcl'inlcal Planning As.soo|afe.s.

Steve Tips the Balance

Was just leaving home Tills morning when Ihe Missus re­minded nic to stop at Steve and Al's Mcnt Market for n pound of hamburger. "Be sure to get it from Sieve," she said.

"Why?" I wondered. So when I got to the market 1 asked Steve

I if he knew. "I'll toll you, Joe," 'he said. "Al and I sell tho same meat, and a pound is a pound. Maybe it's just that wo go at it

I ditterently. I "Al loads the scales nnd takes away 'til he has a pound. But I put too Hlllc on nnd.stnrt adding.

To your . wife — Inat probablj looks like u bettor boy."

From where I sit, there's al­ways more than one woy tu ap­proach a thing nnd still come out fair and square to all. My wife likes a cup of ten with dinner; I prefer a temperate glass ot beer. Wc get along line. Gets me pretty rand' though, when somebody s tar ts "throwing his weight around" nnd demands thnt I see things exactly his way.

The post, which has played an iniportnn". rolo In the life of this community with its many civic projects, is now headed by Com­mander James J. McGouldrIck. It boasts a membership of veterans of either of the two World Wars and makes good claim to lioing tho most active organization in East Mnvon.

Many of the activities of the post, have been concerned with providing a program of guidance nnd recreation for local youngs-tors. Commander McGouldrick claimed that In tho course of an average yenrf the post has pursued programs affecting some 1,700 East Ilnven youngsters.

Post Organized The beginnings of the local post

were in nn orgnnlzatlon meeting of veterans which took place in the old Town Hall In 1919. The group later met In the town flrehouse. The following year Col. Charles Lockhnrt, of Legion Post 47. New Haven, persuaded the local veter­ans to organize the first East Ha­ven post.

The group chose ' to name Its post oftoi' the late Hariy R. Bart-

,, first East Havener to die In

Easties Defeat Derby, Move On To Semi's Raiders Outscorc On Floor But Lose On Fouls

Ensl Ilnvon fans, numhei'liiK In file himdrcds, nitorntitely cnei'fecl and griiiincd Monday nl(,'lil when an unilofdng Derby quini.ef which linil barely qunllflcd for lournn-

/ ' V mem play save the Yellow .Tack-els a run for their money throUBl' ihe third perlo3 • of llie C.I.A.C. Class M qunVter-flniils.

However, the final exprcs.slon was a great cheer as'tlic East Ha­ven team pulled ahead In the final period to down' the Raiders by a hnnl .score, of 00 to .^1. The score Was tod close foi'-eomforl.

Coach KranU Crlsafl's men had a poor nlglil, relatively spealilng. Tony Mas.snrl, the prize shooter, WHS plnguod, with'(i.demoralizing ,|lnx at the banket.''A' lop - notch, player,,his efficiency about Ihe en-lire floor 'was greatly reduced. Itowever, lie mtinpgea to hit for five and two fol ' o iolal or 12 pninl.s.

nnrliy Aifffrestlve AgalniA the genornlly tionr pel'-

formanco of Ihe yellow .Tuckets, I/ho Derby team, playing an «K-gresslvq game with Ihe zestfiil al-lltude of "nothing to lose, every­thing to win," made It a nlp-nnd-luck contest Into the final period,

' However, that same aggresslve-nesj!'wnafhe down - foil of ihe

I Raiders jvho Incurred minioroiis foul shot.s. The Easties were able lo capltnllJe on these to Ihe lune of 20 badly needed points.

Under a phenoinonnl long-range hombardniont by .tosoph Mocclii, guard, and William Cnfaro, eenlor, the Derby Raiders netunlly ouH scored , the Easties by one field goi)l. Confronted with a strong East Haven, zone, these two pliiy-ers plopped them In from the out­side to the distress of (heir oppon­ents.

East Haven appeared to ha\'C a great deal of trouble In getilng llie ball in from under the basket. A number of times there were three and four trios at the basket,

( with an occasional tap In by Ileni'y Ifeffernan, or Paul Wlsnilnltl or Ma.ssarl momentarily breaking Ihe Jinx, ^ • •

Kiiporlor Uncli - Iloiird CoiitrnI It was largely the superiority of

East Haven In controlling Ihe : backboards. that enabled them to

tap In the rebounds or lo snatch Uiem away from Derby when I hat

^leain failed to net the bull. Red O'Murn, East Ilnvon giiuid,

who can bo generally counled on foi' a good game, put his badly needed talents to good arcouni, plopping In the bah nt those wry moments .when East Haven need­ed n niornl .shot In the arm.

An Eastic .substitute who gained lilm.seir a prominent' place In the game was little Michael Paollllo, an aggressive .teimrd who helped

• the. East Haven rally by slenllnB the boll t Vlcc; and I'aclng down Ihe court to pop In a Imdly-noi'd-ed goal. ' In the opening minutes of the game, O'Mara was the fijst lo .start the scoring but was Innne-dlately followed by Mij^cla. The two teams, continued • neck and neck tp a 10 - 10 tie until O'Mara cut lpo.se to help give the Yel­low Jackets an 18 - 11 lend- nt the end of the period. ,

In Ihe'.Seeolhd period Derby'out-scored the Easties with every man on their team peppering the has ket. However, East Huven manag­ed to retain a slim lead of thret' points at half time.

The third pei'lod was alino.s-t "one for one" nil Ihe way, bul

State Champs Get Send To Boston Garden Tilt O f t l e Basketball Team To See New Eng.. a ,1 n \" Tourney

Willi the ConnectirJt Class "M" Cliampionsliip in tiieir pocl<et, fif­teen Enst Haven High ba,sl!etbaii piayer.s left by train for Boston to­day to "'cop'' an int'ei'-state title.

Enjoying their, victory, over Gil­bert High on Monday night, the Yellow jackets will meet the champ Class M team of Massacliu,^ setts, Winchester • High School, in a non-tournamcnt bout, oh the lioor of the Boston Garden at 7:30 Saturday! night.

Of the' fifteen team members, teij will "dress" for- the contest, according to regulations. Coach Franli Crisafi, said this week. The entire 15 will be on hand for the entire Class A New England tourn­ament which opens tonight.

Finst Selectman Frank Clalicy, who had pledged his efforts to raise a fund of some $1,500 to finance the expedition a t ' a tumul­tuous reception of. the new Con-jiecticut champs in the Town Hail Monday night, announced a five-hour canvass of organizations, businessmen and other individuals brought in $1,561. Today e ^ h of the 15 players was presented with 510 apiece in spending 'money for their three-day stay In.Boston.

The Yellow-Jackets, who are ac­companied by Crisafi, assistant Principal Thomas Murray, Prin­cipal Carl Garvin, and John Mc-Partlandi head of the English de­partment, will return here-, Sun­day afternoon at yiree o'clock. While in Boston they will stay at the Bayvlew Hotel.

Just before the Easties left for the New Haven train terminal this morning, t h ^ were given a' grand send-off by High School students'and faculty members In the form of a pep rally staged in the school auditorium.

Members of the team who will make the trip arei'Ahthbny Mas., tarl, team captain, Paul VVisminlli, Joseph "Red" ,0'Mata, Kenry. H,ef-lernan, Ted Sullivan, Michael PaO; lillo, Henry LuzzI, James Narracci, Thomas Bowden, Robert Davidson, Ralph Castbllon, Joel dustafson, Richard ;Ezold, James Stfet'td'and' Joseph Melillo.

Also making the trip will ho the team managers, Anthony Gla-notti, Dun.Mautte nnd Leh ,5nnda-cata.

Monday night following their winning the state medium class title, the team left the New Haven Arena in their chartered bus in a procession of 70 cars with their iiorijs blowing to arrive at the Town.Hail wliert .several hundred aduUs and students assembled to give them a tumultuous reception.

On the stage of the Town Hall auditorium. First Selectman Frank Clancy co'ngratulated Coach Crisa. i\ and his team. Crisafi gave his team Credit for securing the dis­tinction of .state champions ' for East Haven for the first time, Tony Ma.s.sari, on behalf, of his team-mates, passed the credit riglit back to Crisafi.

Altliough the East Haven teach­ing .staff was firm In its insLstence on carrying on school as usual on Tuesday, teachers and students, a-llke, found it difficult to do any­thing else than to marvel over the news.

However, the team itself took the" victory calmly, soberly. The strain that had mounted with the accumulation of a long record ot 28 straight victories was now lift­ed, - and the Yellow-Jackets were more relieved than elated over their newly-won title.

For Coach Frank Crisafi It was "Che of the nicest things that has ever happened in my life". Hap­pily proud of his team's achieve­ment.-the coach, who had seen a similar victory snatched away from his team last year, declared that "I've always' wanted to win just one. Now, that I have, there isn't much else I can ask for."

Report On Hiring "Probl ems Is

Re-Dredging Harbor Would Make Free Fill Available

A possible ppporluiilty tot the towns of East liuven and Branford to secure as till, tiiousands ot tons of sond dredged from tlie bottom of New Htiven .Harbor was' cited by Arthur J-I. Gosselin, chairman of the Harbor Deveib])ment Com­mittee ot the New J-Iaven Chamiior of Commerce last Thursdayi .Gos-selin appeared as guest'.'ipcaker be­fore a Joint meeting of the Eost Haven and Bianfird Chambers of Commerce at the Wee|ilng Willows restaurant in East Maven.

In a talk dealing with the re­lated problems ot shore erosion and maintaining the Now Haven harbor as a port tor ocean-going vessels, Gossclln pointed out that private property-owners were not entitled to government aid under the Federal program ot checking shore erosion.. He said that the U. S. Army Ungineers iinder whom the program of checking erosion Is administered can only provide aid lo the public beaclies. H o w ­ever, should the state Jloard of Harbor Commissioner's tor New, Haven Harbor decide to proceed with the new plans for redredglng the inlet, he said, residents in ijoth communities would bo able lb se­cure fill tree o£ charge.,

Resolution Introduced The: New Haven speaker reveal­

ed that Congressman Albert Cre-lelia has introduced into Congress a resolution lo rcstudy the New Haven' Harbor with a view ot In­creasing tonnage now being hand­led; * Oosselin- said that , thb har­bor's 35-toDt channi Is Inadequate for the larger ships. Ho said, that a proposed deepening ot the chah-nei to 41 feet'wotJla "attrdct" laree vessels, thus Increasing the amount of tonnage being handled at the local port.

Gcsselin gave an account ot his

18 years of work in promoting the idea of usini; the New Haven Har­bor as a major port. lie advised Ixith Cliamiiers of (3onimerce to study the possibilities of making room tor additional Industry which, he felt would be attracted by the harbor Improvements. Cos-seiin said that New Haven, alone, could not contain enough Indus­try which would take up the full capacity ot the poi't.

Ho painted an optimistic picture of the future ot tlio harbor. Ho said tliat' water-transportation had helped hold Die line on the prices ot oil, lunibcr and other stocii ma­terials. He pointed out what ho .said was an Imminent rise o£ 30 per cent In the cost of truck trans­portation between New York and New Haven.

Gossellh claimed that oil com­panies In the area have invested a total of seven million dollars to dale In docking tacilltlcb and stor­age areas.

Fill.from Q new dredging oper­ation would make .possible ..the transformation of now useless areas Into valuable isltcs .for in­dustries and even iiomes, the Har­bor Committee head declared. Rev­enue from such' area could help towns bordering on the harbor, he said.

He warned, however, that plan­ning was necessary and reviewed a situallon In 1948 when the op­position ot a few shore dwellers in East Haven blocked the placing of fill In some areas. > '

More than 100 members of batii Chambers and their wives attended the meeting, headed by Elwood Scoble, East Haven president, and Ralph Relnhold, head of the Bran­ford Chamber, Donald Bartlett, ot East Haven, acted as chairman of - the joint meetfng.

Kept Under Wraps What etfect (loos the En.it Ha­

ven loyally oath have on the so-curing of new leachors, In view of Ihe short sup|)ly ot ojemontory school personnel'f That question was posed to liireo iicrsons tills week hy the EAST HAVEN NEWS.

None, advei-soiy, replied Francis Waisli, chnlrmnn or the i3onrd ot lOdurallOn. "See Mr. Wnlsh on Hint", said Schools Supt, R. Ver­non Hays. ".Some, certainly, but there are no stntlatlos to show how much", repUeti Paul Lowe, di­rector ot placement at New Ilavcn Slate Teachers College.

The question Was prompted by a release la,st week by Iho Board of Education announcing a "re­adjustment" in lenchcr salaries and rotorriiiK to "problems" In se­curing now lonchcrs tor the local school system. IDstlmatcs arc that 20 addllloiml teachers will ,1)C needed for next year, not .counting replacomonts.' •• , - . ',• ' , '

Chairman Walsh told the NEWS thai "Wo liavo not experienced any loachers refusing to come hero bocnuRo of the Idyalty ootli." lie said that "Al''lonRl I 'haven' t honestly found any oviilenco that the oath Is, Interterlng with the sccurlni; of,now teachor.s.

cllncd to roloaso B report, by Su|)t. Hays outlining Iho "problems" In, securing iitw touchers. He gave as his reason wlint can be gen­erally reported In Ihls way; until the Board of' Education has _ it chance to roviow the enlire salary schedule picture, which may ef­fect the I'Utontlon ot present teiiciiprs, a jelcnse ot the report would lie unwise.

In on enrllAr Inlorviow Wal.sh lind told Ihe NEWS that a copy of the report might ho secured from Ihe huperlhlondont of . .schools. That was laijt Week, following tlio release ot a statement by the school board, Walsh had iiLso said a t thiit lime thai he tliought the supcrin-lenilent coUhl release information showing comparisons iietween sal­ary schedules ot East Haven and olher cnmmuhitlos.

Yeslerdny a request for the su- ' porliitcnilenl's report brought the 1 ejily that release only of compar-allve stntlstlcs liad been nuthorl-j:-cd. Asked lo explain, Walsh said this morning that he had not changed his mind, but that i\Q hurl agreed originally only to au­thorize release ot the statistics. '

Wiien Supt. Hays was asked If he hud any evidence' that the loy­alty outh may bo Interferlrtg with ' the securinf! of uddilionul teach­ers he referred this reporter lo llie board chairman.

Walsh said, t h u t " I know that Hays lias not presented any Infor­mation that would make us bp-llovo that the loyalty 9ath Is In­terfering with the hiring of teach­ers." He added tliat "It It Is .shown to be 60 , I certainly, plan lo have the board take up consid­eration ot the oath." '

Director 3ees 'Deturront' -! Earlier this week the NEWS asked the director of placement at New Havctt Slate Teachers' wheth­er he hud' .any information' that the: East HuVen oath was a de­terrent.

Lowe I'epiicd that "I have no available statlsticul evidence that It does. I-Iowever, on the basis ot , my pci'-sonal observations I can say tills: I have heard opinions cx-^ pressed by both undergraduates and experienced teachers that the existence of a loyalty oath coupled with low salaries makcji the situ- . allon (in Knst Haven) 'unattrac- ' live' ".

Lowe, who handles the. place­ment of tottciiers from the' college,. ,' said that i "01 course". If East Ha­ven had fa sufficiently high salary lo make :u considerable difleren-lial between it nnd surrounding towns,,"more peopiB would be at­tracted."

He said that ' It was a fact tha t there were many students' 'arid teachers who did not g lve t f e mat­ter of the , oath serious' thought and had no objections. However, he said, he had heard expressions of objection from tliose who op-
