The bombings "certainly are doing some damage, if nothing more than disrupting the life of the community," he said. pointing out that St.

One questioner wanted to know if German officers in the Italian fleet could make Italians fight. He referred to reports of German "contributions" to the Mussolini fleet. The Italian is a good fighter where his patriotism is involved.

now do a bit more War Garden Plots Urged By Baldwin Governor in Transcribed Radio Talk Stresses Food Growing and Conservation Urging home production of food as a means of relieving the heavily burdened transportation facilities. Governor Baldwin Tuesday night spoke by transcription Station WTIC on the importance enrollover, ing in the war garden program sponsored by the Connecticut War Council and the Farm Extension Service. "Everyone who has a piece of suitable land or can get the use of such a piece of land should cultivate, grow and preserve as much food as possible this summer in order that food shall not be as short next winter as fuel has been this winter." he said. He also urged that anyone who cannot have his own garden make plans to help some farmer in planting, caring for and harvesting his crop. Pointing out that the new Charter Oak Bridge over the Connecticut River at Hartford is being operated at a deficit, Governor Baldwin recounted the financing of that bridge and of the bridge over the Thames River at New London.

He explained that the great cost of the two bridges made it impossible to use state highway funds for the projects, and that if the bridgebuilding were to have been undertaken by private companies, the high rate of interest they would have had to give on their bonds would have made the tolls on the bridges exorbitantly high. Therefore, the bridges were financed with state funds obtained from state bond issues, state bonds paying less than 2 per cent interest. Mr. Baldwin added that he had asked the General Assembly to make an appropriation to take care of any deficit, interest on the bonds not met by tolls, as the faith and credit of the State of Connecticut are behind these bonds. The Groton-New London bridge was opened last Saturday, he said, and the toll-rate set for the bridge is expected to take care of all expenses there.

It is also excepted he said, that when the new approaches to the Hartford bridge are completed, there will be an increased revenue from tolls. In discussing the abandonment of the 48-hour week policy all state employees. Governor Baldwin said that, after the plan had been in effect for two weeks, it was discovered that many state employees had parttime jobs with war plants and the new schedule interfered with that work. He also said that about two thirds of state employees normally worked a 48-hour week anyway, and that for those who worked less hours, the old schedule was the most efficient. hope to be able to release some state workers part-time for private industry.

This will be done, however, only when such release will not interfere with the state service and with the approval of the head of the department which such an employee works. As time goes on and more workers are needed, I feel that business and industry, nonessential to the war, could adopt the same sort of policy," he Ogilby Discloses Lottery Launched Noted Scotsman When a Scotsman wins a lottery it is news in any land and in any century, and, when this success starts a man on a whirlwind career from dancing teacher to a brilliant literary light it deserves full recognition. So said Rev. Dr. Remsen Ogilby, president of Trinity College, in a talk given at a meeting the Connecticut Historical Soclety at the Hartford Library on Tuesday night.

Dr. Ogilby, displaying more than two score volumes, spoke on the life of the compiler, John Ogilby, an Edinburgh Scotsman who made his home in London. He traced with rare humor the life of a man, of whom he was no lineal descendant, from the hard. tough way of learning Latin at 47. Greek at 51, and translations at 54.

to his triumph as a court favorite of Charles IT in London in the seventeenth century. "John Ogilby perhaps also embarked on one of the most unique ventures a book seller or writer could hope to institute, that of getting his books circulated among the public by lottery." said Dr. Ogilby "This was perhaps a throwback from his earlier good fortune, and encouraged him to be daring in his choice of subject." The books ranged in subject from translations Greek and Latin classics. Aesop's Fables, through a folio Bible, and great as a cosmographer, who told much about the world of which he really knew but little. Dr.

Ogilby was introduced to SOciety members by the president, EdF. Watson, following a short business meeting. A desk, bought from John Greenleaf Whittier at the demise of his newspaper in Hartford. by the Hartford County Mutual Fire Insurance Company for $2.50 also was presented the meeting. The desk was not on view owing to blackout regulations in the room in which it is now placed, but can be viewed in the daytime.

New Britain Fugitive Given Year in Prison Waterbury, March (AP.) Judge Frank J. McEvoy in Superior Court today sentenced Henry Smith, 19, of New Britain, to one to three years in State Prison on a charge of escaping from the Connecticut Reformatory at Cheshire. Smith and Stanley Falenski of Terryville, both under sentence at the reformatory on breaking and entering charges, walked the boiler room there on February 20 and were recaptured in Greenwich three days later. State's Attorney William B. Fitzgerald told the court that Falenski still had considerable time to serve and case would therefore be handled by the reformatory.

Smith, he explained, had only a few months left to serve and having violated parole twice before, was not considered a good parole risk. New Britain police said Tuesday night that Henry Smith, whose home is at 23 Church Street in that city, has a record for juvenile delinquency. Legislative Notes Delayed Birth Certificates. In order to eliminate the possibility of fraudulent birth certificates being issued to unidentified persons. as happened last year in Bridgeport when a New York newspaper reporter State Health obtained a fake certificate, Commissioner Stanley H.

Osborn Tuesday urged the Judiciary Committee to report favorably on SB 226 which efficient provides and more method of issuing delayed certificates. Under the proposed bill, such delayed certificates would be issued by the probate court including the town where 'the birth occurred. After the person applying for the certificate had convinced the probate court of his eligibility, the probate judge would issue a court order to the local registrar of vital statistics authorizing him to issue the certificate. Under the present law delayed birth certificates are issued by registrars of vital statistics after at least two persons had testified to the applicant's eligibility. It was under law that the fake Bridgeport certificate was issued.

Commissioner Osborn pointed out that now when birth certificates prerequisite are being demanded as a for employment by almost all state war production plants serious attention should be given to the problem of reducing the possibility of fraudulent certificates. School Lunches. Because of the expressed widespread interest in the proposal, Education Committee Tuesday announced that another hearing will be held March 16 on HB 200, providing that lunches may be sold by boards of education to pupils and teachers. Tuesday the committee brought out favorable reports on HB 356, allowing town boards of education to enter into three-year contracts with bus owners to transport children to and from public schools, and HB 545, permitting the State Board of Education to receive federal funds and to spend same for local development under federally-instigated programs. Health Officers.

The Committee on Public Health and Safety, in executive session Tuesday, decided to report favorably an amendment to SB 260, concerning appointment and annual reports of city and borough health officers. The amendment, it was explained, was drafted by friends of Dr. Benjamin N. Pennell, New London health officer, who desired to retain him in functions. Financial Measures.

The Connecticut Water Works Association, representing 11 municipally owned privately owned water works, voiced opposition Tuesday before the legislative Finance Committee to bills designed to increase taxation on water projects. James W. Carpenter, of Hartford, represented the association. The committee also heard testimony on bills designed to extend for 10 years state aid to towns with railroad indebtedness. and to allow towns to divert portions of state roadbuilding funds to policing of highways.

Highway Commissioner William J. Cox, present at the hearing, remarked that there were still some 4000 miles of unimproved dirt roads in Connecticut, but made no recommendation on or censure of the bill. Representative Louis G. Tolles of Southington, registered opposition to the measure. Filling Station Taxes.

The legislative Motor Vehicles Committee heard a plea Tuesday that taxation relief be extended to filling station operators in Connecticut's small communities owing to the war emergency. Representative Paul O. Holdridge, Democrat, Ledyard, who explained the proposed legislation, said that the bill would lower from $2 to $1 the fee paid by the operator on each pump and cancel a $5 tax on the station itself. Deputy Commissioned J. Walter Darley of the Motor Vehicles Commission explained that 3890 retail pumps were in use in the state and expressed himself as not opposed to the measure.

Holdridge said that in many small communities at present there were one of two gasoline stations. These operators. he said. do not make much money and "we would like to have them stay in For Mental Patients. Considerable.

support for a bill designed to create a board to examine all mental patients prior to commitment to any private or state hospital was evidenced at Tuesday's hearing of the Public Welfare and Humane Institutions Committee. Proponents of the measure included Miss Frances Martin of Hartford. Edward J. Fagan of New Britain. Miss Nita S.

Kellogg, official stenographer of the Superior Court in Litchfield County, Mrs. Catherine G. Dalton of Hartford. and Luther K. Bell of the Christian Science Committee on Publications for Connecticut.

Inebriates' Hospital. A bill to regulate state hospital care for inebriates, sponsored by Representative Leonard S. Appell of New Britain, received considerable support at Tuesday's hearing of the Committee on Public Welfare and Humane Institutions. Representative C. William Janson.

of Westport, director of a clinical laboratory, said the bill's provisions should include the Fairfield State hospital as well as the one at Norwich, and assure full medical supervision of inmates. The organization known as Alcholics, Anonymous. which has several branches throughout Connecticut, is in favor of the bill, he said. Mrs. Christine, B.

Cooney of Greenwich, case worker for the Department of Public Welfare, said the state should provide a hospital of farm character, because of the value of farm work restoring the alcholic patient. "There is no place in Connecticut where they can be properly cared for," she told the committee, and lamented that "very few persons think of alcholics as patients." Plan Probe Is Sought By Fauliso Alderman to Ask Board Name Committee for Inquiry Into Wilson Program Effects Alderman Joseph J. Fauliso, Democrat, of the Second Ward, said Tuesday he will introduce a resolution at next Monday night's meeting of the Board of Aldermen calling for the selection by the coard of a committee of five aldermen investigate the various phases the Wilson plan of reto, crganization adopted in the Police Department. object of his resolution, the siderman stated, was not to abolIsh the Wilson plan, which he said has "many beneficial aspects." but to determine what features of the plan should be "retained, eliminatea or in order to produce "reasonable economy" and "an efficient and adequate police depurtment." Fauliso said the aldermanic committee, include at least two Republican members, would hold publie hearings in connection with its investigation, and upon completing inquiry would report its findings and conclusions to the aldermanic board Fireworks Expected. It is expected that the resolution, touching off aldermanic opposition to the Wilson plan, will produce considerable fireworks at one board meeting.

Although Mayor Spellacy has publicly committed himself to the plan, and has given active support to its adoption by the Board, several aldermen are complaining that police protection is inadequate as a result of the reduction of the force under the reorganization program. Alderman Fauliso said his posed investigation should be undertaken "because of the number of complaints registered by taxpayerg. residents, merchants and business men relative to inadequate police protection" Pointing out that several aldermen have introduced resolutions in the aldermanic board requesting that the Police Board provide more policemen in certain areas of the city, he asserted other aldermen have indicated their intention of submitting similar resolutions concerning other areas "where conditions have become acute." From A All Sources. "The complaints and petitions from all sources have reached such proportions, and are being with such regularity, that immediate action should be taken in the interest and welfare of the public "Lest this action be misunderstood, it should be stated that it is not an attempt to abolish the Wilson plan," the alderman added. "The program created by that plan has beneficial aspects.

There are, however, some features of the program which merely place emphasis on economy but fail in the achievement of efficiency and adequate protection. "More police protection and economy are the objectives sought by the Wilson plan. The so-called blue prints created for their attainment and in their present form might be feasible in the City of Hartford of yesterday, but perhaps they should be revised in part, to be applicable to the City of Hartford of today. Population Increase. "The tremendous increase in Hartford's population coupled with the increase in crime call for constant and greater vigilance by the Police Department, and it may be better if economy in that department were alleviated and relegated in part to other phases of the municipality where the public is less endangered.

"There is no doubt that economy will be accomplished by the Wilson plan, but it is dubious if the peop ple of the City of Hartford are in favor of substituting economy for adequate protection. The life, health and safety of the individual are far more precious than materialistic savings. Economy exercised with wisdom is a virtue, but when made to operate to an extreme it becomes an evil. Fauliso Resolution. "This investigation is sought, therefore, to determine what features of the Wilson plan should be retained.

eliminated or revised in order to attain the best possible program having for its objectives. reasonable economy and an efficient and adequate police Alderman Fauliso has prepared the following resolution for introduction at Monday night's aldermanic meeting: "Resolved: That the Court of Common Council elect a special committee of five aldermen with at least two members of the minority party on said committee, to investigate the operations of the Wilson plan employed by the Police Department of the City of Hartford. and incidental to said investigation to hold public hearings and conferences and at the termination of said investigation, the said committee should report its findings and conclusions to the Court of Common Council."

These officials, who can not be quoted by name, said induction of fathers has been made necessary because draft boards are already scraping the bottom of the barrel of single men and married men without children.

Selective officials acknowledged that some married men with children have already been inducted but added that most of these are men who acquired their dependents after December 8, 1941, a time when their selection for the armed forces was imminent. VERY REV. PAUL M. REGAN. Very Rev.
