CONNECTICUT S. \. R. SOCIETY
 AT ODDS WITH NATIONAL BODY

Sharp charges of "autocratic and tyrnnical power" are contained in a report issued by the special commit tee of seven appointed at a special meeting of the Connecticut Society, Sons of the American Revolution, to investi- gate the legal rights and obligations involved in withdrawing from the Ma tional Society should the next congress fail to adopt certain changes in the man. agement of the society tending to make control more democratic.
 The committee reports that it has asked the executive committee of the national body 10 give legal notice in order that proposed amendments to the constitution and bylaws may be voted on at the Buffalo congress in May, so as to provide that the executive committee be selected by the president-general from the board of trustees, thus changing the present procedure of selection from the common membership.
 That an executive committee which attempts to complete and establish its control by arrogating to itself the pre- rogative of state societies to fudge of the qualifications of it's members" and seeks an autocratic power to eXpel mem- bers without notice or hearing, should be distinctly shown that this organizatio is democratic body, and not an oligarchy governed by an impregnable autocracy.
 The relations of the Connecticut so. ciety with the nationan society are i'm periHed by the existing situation.
 The report is signed by A. NJ McC Mathewson, Grille A. Petty, H. Wales Lines. Ernest F. Rogers, Edgar L. Pond George C. F. Williams. William H. Cor bin. committee Herbert H. White ex oficio

We may hazard a guess as to the reason for the committees daley in making a report" The bulletin points out that it Is proposed to spend S200, 900 for state armories. several millions for road building and Sso00oo for addi- tional office space for state depart ments. but it stili looks to the commit tee as if we could get along with less than the *lsO.ooO appropriation asked for the children
 The league publication goes on to say that the S75, 900 asked for by the state board of charities for additional supper isors will mot begin to cover the scope"
 The bulletin states that the state board of charities no whas an oppor- tunity to be of decisive help in the work of establishing a child welfare bureau "but as yet it's members have not declared their position toward the commissions bill"
 We know what the commission rec ommends." says the bulletin making a plea that the issue be kept clear. ''We do not know the programme of the state board of charities. To our knowledge there are with regard to bureau of child welfare. but two choices before the appropria tions committee-to accept or not accept the bureau as recom- mended by tne commission"
