'Who, at one time, lived at the lower end of Wall street. Later they moved to Chapel gtreet. . . . Miss Brennan could well remember many of the hi'storieal incidents in Norwalk during the last three-quar. tors of a. century. The Bresnan and Coeney families were the‘flrsthatho. lic ones in NorWallt. It is said that there were no Catholic parishes be- tween New York city and New Ha- ven when Miss Bresnan was flyoung girl. Occasionally a traveling priest from a church in New Haven would come to Norwalk and conduct serv- ices in the Breanne house. Being one of the pioneers of the Roman Catholic faith in Nerwalk. Miss Br an watched the growth of the churches here. In her early days St. 'liiary's parish had a church on Chapel other which. drew people from all the surrounding towns and cities. .People even came from Port Chester, as there was no Catholic church in Stamford'at that time. Some years later the. present St. Mary’s Church was built and then St. Joseph's was also erected. Despite her advancing years. Miss Brennan was active and kept well abreast of the times.

Commander NEW LONDON, Dec. 8.e—A new angle to rum scandals involving coast gunrdsmen of tho Ncw'Lon- don unit came to light today. when officials here revealed that there warrant boatswalns in charge of petrol boats have been removed from command and are now prison- ers at large at the state pier base. The officers :ro J. T. Tecvnns of the CG-23G. l“. .1. and Chris Hanson of the C641”.

U Commander Muster. commandant bf thp entire New London area. or. dared the officers placed in the brig aboard the cutter Mojave. The ac- cused officers were taken ashore here a few days ago and allowed freedom or the base and shore lib- erty as prisoners at large. An in- vesiigation is being made to deter- mine whether or not they have been in any way connected with the big rum syndicate recently exposed in New York. The total number of coast guards men of this area held in rum scan- dals now reaches seventeen. Both Commander Miinter and Lieutenant Commander Young today said that they expect further arrests and’ court martinis within a short time. In discussing the situation Com- mander Munter said that. from his observations the majority of coast guardsmcn here are thoroughly re- liable and honest. He is. however. convinced that a careful check-up upon the petty offices and men will reveal further violations of duty. Lack of a. "sense of values" where liquor is concerned is the way Com- mander Munter analyzes the weak- ness of coast guardsnien. “A man who woull not think of stealing 310 and who is generally hopest will liquor. It is surprising how the gift "bf a little champagne or whiskey. will turn men." he said. While Commander Munter seems unable to explain how whole crows beconis corrupted. he believes that the strange DO’JIQI‘ attitude of the men toward liquor is what makes them susceptible to advances by the rum runner. He is aware. however. that large payments are beln offered to coast guardsmen by th rum run- ners. A new instance of preferred bribes has come to the attention of Commander Munter within the last few days. g T Officer of the Day—Ernest 0. Reid. Chaplain—Aaron Dawson, 2 Quartermaster—Walter R.

He also renewed his advocacy of railroad consolidations and develop- ment of inland waterways. recom- mended retention. for the present. of property seized from aliens dur- ing the war. reiterated that reorgan- ization of government departments should be authorized and declared that states and local communities must coopei'ate more with the Fed- eral government in reclamation work.

"yet it has been discussed in the Congress over a period of years and for months 111 a time." .Prefacing his recommendations with a statement that "the coun'ry does not appear to require radical departures from the policies already adopted so much as it needs fur- ther extension of these policies and the improvement of details" and an appeal for continued vigilance against extravagant governmental expendituies. the President empha- sized the need for further tax re- duction and declared be approved "in principle’ the bill drafted by the Ways and Means Committee.
