London. Jan. 18 AP.) Prime Minister Chamberlain refused today to alter the British policy of nonin tervention in Spain and rejected an international plan for feeding Spanish civilians. He declared, however, that Brit ain would continue to assist unoffi cial organizations for relief of Spanish civilians. Chamberlain said other governments, "particularly" the United States, had been consulted on the international relief plan.

Mounted police with batons repulsed a crowd of several hundred persons said to be Communists when they tried to break through police cordons guarding No. 10 Downing Street, residence of the prime minister. They carried placards demanding "arms for Spain." A small deputation later was received at the foreign office. Replying to a request from Clement R. Attlee, leader of the labor opposition, that Parliament be summoned at once to discuss aid for Spain, the Prime Minister wrote: "I have given careful consideration to your request which is apparently based on your view that the t'me has come when the policy of nonintervention should be reversed and all embargo on the supply of arms and ammunition to the Spanish government removed.

"You discuss the cost of maintaining public buildings and mention that the cost of the Municipal Building is approximately $65,300. The actual figure is $56,826. The Public Building Commission was one of the few In Hartford that presented a smaller budget request this year than last year.

Further, it has produced on Its asset side a greater Income than existed under the old commission. It requested the sum of for the maintenance of the Municipal Building. Included In this was In Item of $3100 for telephones for the building and an item of $5400 for equipment. Of course, neither of these items should be charged to maintenance. When you compare the cost of maintaining this building with that of private buildings, you forget that conditions are entirely different.

The Municipal Building has more open space. It is open and must be heated and lighted for the purpose of being open practically every evening in the week. Some department is always engaged in evening work in that building. You. as an alderman, meet with your board in the evening.

When you do elevator service must be provided: the lights and heat must be on. "In private buildings, there would not the elevator service and there would be no necessity for heat. The Municipal Building belongs to the public and should be accessible to the public, and comfortably accessible, whenever there is any public business to be conducted. The average number of the cleaning force in the Municipal Building is 20. The average square feet for each employee to clean is 4600.

In addition, there are over 1000 lineal feet of brass railing. "You said that the cost of burying tree stumps in the South Meadows amount to $17,000. The actual cost to the City of Hartford for this item ls $5950. Certainly you will agree that the stumps should not be left exposed where they would be a fire hazard and and eyesore. In addition, being on city property, we would be subject to damages If there were any injuries due to their presence.

Community House. "I am discussing this Item with you although I realize it has nothing whatever to do with the proposed budget. Neither has the item which you discuss concerning the South End Community House which you say is lying idle. This statement ls untrue. The building will not be finished and turned over to the city until some time In February and there ls no item in the proposed budget for Its maintenance.

"The money expended by the city of Hartford for this building ls probably not 10 per cent of the cost to the city if the labor employed were on relief. The statement you made concerning this building might equally be made concerning 90 per cent of the projects paid for in part by the city of Hartford. We have had an average of approximately 3400 men employed in Hartford by the WPA during the past year. It has been difficult to supply projects. You may desire the WPA abolished, but If you do.

then be prepared to have the Welfare Department undertake the task of keeping alive these 3400 families. Already, and during this month, our welfare rolls have increased by 132 families due largely to the cessation of WPA activities." Agriculture Conservation Leaders Will Confer The men who conduct the Agricultural Conservation Program in Connecticut, including state and county committeemen, administrative assistants and county agricultural agents, will open a two-day conference on the 1939 Agricultural Conservation Program Thursday in New Britain.

Of the l.uter group, 40 per cent are Clients 'Wage Conscious." Clients on relief are also "wage conscious," Mr. Griffin reported. "They have heard so much about is State Budget Will Be Balanced Bv Cut (Continued from Page 1.) tion in personnel. Governor Baldwin said that the Budget Bureau, at his request, had studied departmental budgets carefully for possible reduction of staffs, and that he hopeful still more study will make possible further reductions in payrolls without reducing services. Institutions Questioned.

Some reduction in state expenditures is sought by the abandonment of the state ineonate farm which ha.s been operated in connection with the Norwich State Hospital and which ha.s been criticized as of doubtful value. Abandonment of two of the state teachers' colleges, formerly state normal schools, until such time as isei of for the state ls formulated is another recommendation which no doubt will be presented the budget mes- sage. In his inaugural Governor Baldwin urged the use of two of the four existing teachers' colleges for a different type of youth training. Abolition of the county health officers has been fore-shadowed in bills already introduced changing the method of appointment of local health officers. The present power of county health officers to appoint local health officers may eventually be transferred to the State Department of Health, and with prospective reorganization of the minor court system and improvement of the personnel in these tribunals, there would no longer be the need for special prosecutors in cases involving health laws.

In his inaugural message, Gover nor Baldwin gave as the of the Budget Division $2,664,876.32 as the added cost of the new insti-; tutions in maintenance and opera tion. ThLS sum may be cut somewhat, if it develops that dates tentatively fixed for the opening of these institutions prove to have been too optimistic. Considerable saving is expected in the proposed reorganization of the welfare department. Lesser savings are expected in the reorganization of the military department and the consolidation of the various agricultural agencies. These recommendations were made in the inaugural message.

As the Governor said in an earlier interview, it is his plan to ask legislation placing court fines for infractions of the motor vehicle law in the general fund of the state to meet in part the cast of the pro-pased state system of minor courts. The proposed state minor court system will remove from municipal taxpayers a charge of nearly which they now pay, but will add a new service charge to the state's budget. Governor Baldwin said in his inaugural message that it must be the responsibility of the representatives of the people to determine whether the budget will be balanced and whether the state shall engage in new enterprises and add new taxes to its citizens. Conversation with him indicates that he was not. in that statement, inviting the Legislature to engage in a spending spree for which it would profess to take responsibility.

If the Legislature has any idea of throwing the Baldwin budget out of balance, the limit to which the Governor might be pressed is the $1,250,000 a year for retirement of bonds, and which he described in his inaugural message as a mortgage on the state, rather than as an operating expense. But if the Legislature is going to spend that much in excess of the budget, the Governor will have to insist that the Legislature also provide taxes to raise that much. Liquor Tax Seen. As far as discussions have progressed on this subject, an added tax on intoxicating liquor seems to meet with the lea.st disflavor. Of potential significance Is the introduction in the House by Charles B.

Bissell of Suffield, chairman of the Finance Committee, of a blank bill under the title of amending the liquor tax law, a device by which a proposed increased liquor tax could be brought before the General Assembly. Governor Baldwin has heretofore discussed freely the difficulties of presenting a balanced budget, and especially the task of fixing expenditures at no more than estimated income for the second year of the next biennium. that is 1940-41, when the new institutions will be in operation. The next session of the General Assembly will also be held in that fiscal year, and this adds approximately $500,000 to the state budget. There will be no recommendation in the message for a change in the present executive leadership instate fiscal affairs, such as a return to a finance board of some sort.

The Governor does believe, however, that some of the state's fiscal agencies should be reorganized to make details of the state's financial business more readily available, and. in this way. make state finances more intelligible to the ordinary citizen, who. as the Governor pointed out in his inaugural, provides the taxpayer dollar on which the government operates. Baldwin's Rector Valley Forge Speaker Governor Baldwin Wednesday announced the appointment of Rev.

Loyal Y. Graham, 3d. rector of Christ Church. Stratford, to be the speaker at Connecticut Sunday, in the Washington Memorial Church nt Vallev Forge, which will be held this rear Januarv 29. Pev.

Mr. Graham, rector of the parish in which Governor Baldwin Ls one of lan VPTVan 01 V. seas with the Marines, and Is a holder of the Purple Heart deeora- sitv ton'ffht Sikorsky said, "the maximum speed we can hope for using the gasoline engine is not much over 500 miles an hour. "The answer lies in a jet or rocket propulsion, but here we run up against the question of whether to get sufficient energy per weight. An explosive "like dynamite has less stored energy than gasoline.

Hydrogen seems to be the solution if the technical difficulties of production are overcome." The possible speed with the use of rocket propulsion is unlimited. Sikcrsky said, but he added that rocket propulsion is "still a long way from actuality." He declared he wa.s convinced there is no limit to the possible weights of heavier-than-air craft. Sees No Merit In Suggestions (Continued from Fage 1.) and that the city Ls morally obligated to continue them. Mayor Spellacy said he would never consent to the return of the weekly 24-hour or "long day" in the Fire Department where, he pointed out. firemen work a 12-hour day.

In his letter the Mayor refuted Alderman Rabinovitz's charge that the "spoils system" continues to exist, asserting that the number of city employees today is much less than when he took office. Rabinovitz's Suggestions. Alderman Rabinovitz's letter, written after consultation with the two other Republican aldermen, John H. Hurley and Joseph H. Johnson, advances these suggestions for effect ing savings in municipal expenditures: Reinstitution of the weekly 24-hour or "long day" in the Fire Department, saving collection of ashes and rubbish under private contract, rather than by the Street Department, saving the "reinstitution and expansion" of motorization of the Police Department, saving $60 000; increasing the elementary school class room size, saving a saving of $21,800 in the Public Buildings Department's costs for maintenance of the Municipal Building.

In proposing the return of the "long day" for firemen, abolished since Mayor Spellacy took office, the alderman said "we are asking no more of those employed in the Fire Department, than the average business man is required to give in his own business." Turning to education, he pointed out that Hartford's per pupil cost is "entirely out of line" with cities of comparable size in Connecticut, such as Bridgeport and New Haven. "We do not admit that our salary scale, with its automatic increases, is in line with the ability of citizens of Hartford to pay," his letter asserted. Citing the steady decrease in the school enrollment since consolidation. Alderman Rabinovitz contended that the city's educational system should cost $400,000 less than before consolidation. He charged that "politics and extravagance" in the schools "is a definite answer to this situation." Mayors Reply.

The Mayor's reply to Alderman Rabinovitz follows in part: Text of Reply in Part. "I regret that you have found yourself unable to comply with my request for specific Items that might be deducted from the present proposed budget. While generalities may be Interesting In a political argument, I had hoped that you would forget politics and furnish details to the people of Hartford. You have discussed many things that have absolutely nothing to do with the present budget which must be either adopted or rejected during the month of January. "When came Into office 35 people were employed in the Old Age Assistance Bureau.

The number has been reduced to three. "When I came Into office I advocated the abolition of the office of sealer of weights and measures. Certainly, every Major who preceded me had tised thi office to reward political followers. I was sustained In my efforts to turn the work over to the Police Department. "Further, although the services rendered by the City of Hartford have Increased, the number of employee of the city today is much less than the day that I was inaugurated.

Fire Department. "You advocate the return of the Fire Department to the so-called "long The firemen in Hartford today are em-poiyed In two platoons, working an average of 12 hours per day. The long day required each fireman to work a 1:4 hour day certain times during the month. Personally. I consider 12 hours a long day for constant employment.

Then, remember that no fireman is through at the end of the 12 hours. ls subject to call evn on his days off, and Is frequently reauired to do continuous 24 hour duty. You state the abolition of the long day has cost the City of Hartford $40,000 per year. The actual figure is $42,000. Certainly Hart-ofrd intends to be a humane employer.

The entire tendency In every line of employment has been toward a shorter day. I can conceive of no reason why the employees of one department should be differentiated from the employees of all other departments. Why do you single out the firemen alone1 Neither is it true that the taxpayers of Hartford have lost money through the abolition or this 24 hour day. Coincident with It abolition, fire rates in our city were reduced 15 per cent and every property owner benefited to that extent. This amounts to a considerably higher figure than the extra expenditure by the city.

I do not say that this reduction in fire rates wa.s due entirely to the abolition of the long day. "Our Tire Department has been efficient that we have won the plaque, offered by the United States Chamber of Commerce for cities in our clasa. have the lowest fire loss ratio. This can not be measured in dollar and cent. Never, with mv consent, shall Hartford go back to the twenty-four hour day.

Rubbish Collection. "You advocate the adoption of a privat contract for the collection of ashes, rubbish and garbage. This proposal was made as an economy measure tn the administration of Mayor Rankin. He was actuated bv the thought of saving the city money. Both newspapers and most of the general public condemned the idea.

In fact, there was almost unan.mous sentiment that the city itself continue this service. Again, in this matter there are other fsetora than mere cost.
