BILL
 PASSES HOUSE TODAY
Important Legislation Now Goes to Governor for
 Final Action

State Capitol, Hartford, May 2t-- (AP)-The anti-pollution bill which was drawn 10 make q start in control and gradual elimination of discharge .of sewage and industrial wastes into state waters, was adopted by the house today in concurrence with the senate, accepting the senate amend ment which took out exemption of municipal corporation from pollu- ton regulations
 The house adopted the draft by the judiciary committee last week but the senate made an amendment to bill so that cities and towns may be ordered, or enjoined to stop pollution of their local waters. Those who supported the original draft were almost fin tears yesterday over the senate action in amending the bill but today Representative Wheel er of Stratford popularly accorded the honor of being the father of .anti-pollution bills in many seasions accepted the senate amendment and the house stood with him and re- adopted the bill as amended. He told the house that the amendment made the bill 'weaker but still work able" but those who opposed the amendment declared the bill be- comes more drastic as a regulatory measure.
 The bill will go to the governor. By many it Is regarded as one of the most important pieces of major legislation this session. Representa- tive Wheeler, in accepting the amendment, later said that 1t will be easier to amend a live measure than resurrect. a dead issue"
 Mir. Hill of Shelton vigorously op- posed the pollution bill as a "too expensive measure" because the con- sumner must pay for the industrial cleaning up in higher prices of do- nestle waste disposal. Mir. Johnson Of Kent was against the bill be- cause 'it was damaging 10 the state.' His town could not main tain q disposal plant, he said. Mir. Pierpont and Mir. Sturges both said the manufacturers favored the bill. Mir. Peck of Bristol said the situa- ton was one "of extreme serious ness" The previous question was moved hy Mir. Lane Of Rocky Hill. Mir. Alling, house leader, said that manufacturers who are large tax payers wanted 10 feel that money spent would check domestic pollu- ton. He hoped start would be made. The amendment was adopt ed and the bill as amended adopted In concurrence.

SPECIAL COURT TO
 ACT ON EVOLUTION
Tenn.'s Prohibition Teaching Statute Assured Of Quick Action
FORMIDABLE LEGAL ARRAY
Court Action Will Be Started About June 15 That the Much Discussed Anti-Eyolution Law May Get Speedy Ruling.

Dayton, Tenn, May 21,--Events today were moving swiftly toward the second stage of the test of Ten nessee's law which prohibits the teaching of evolution in public schools of the state.
 Four days before the date set by Judge J. T. Raulston for a special session of the Rhea county grand jury, May 25, attorneys for the state and the defense were being assured of special term of court to speed the case toward the supreme court.
 The special session of the grand jury will consider the charges against John T. Scopes, alleged to have violated the act in the teach ing of science in Rhca county schools.
 In calling the session, Judge Raul ston, with the assurance of attorneys that no protest would be made, dis regarded a state law requiring thirty days notice before calling q special grand jury. He also announced he could call a special term Of court about June 1j.
 A formidable array of legal talent is being called 10 the aid of both sides. Scientists, churchmen, edu- cators and famous criminal lawyers are among those who have volun- teered their services.
 John R. Neal, attorney for Scopes, declared he saw no necessity for speeding the case through the lower courts since it could not be brought before the supreme courts juris- dictiOn any earlier through this procedure than If 1t should wait it's turn.
 He said the fight would continue along lines already outlined in his argument before the committing magistrates: "A lack of power upon the part of the legislature to limit the inquiry after truth in our schools and universities"
 Incidentally" he added i've will contend that the law is in conflict with the numerous provisions of our state constitution and the constitu- ton of the United States providing for religious freedom and scpara- ton of church and state."
