 S1O License Was Sought

s1O License Was Sought The bill would require the pay ment of $10 for the initial license and s for renewals. the insurance commissioner to make public an- nually the names of all to whom licenses were issued. He would re- yoke these licenses for malpractice.
 'This bill was urged upon us" Senator Peasley declared. "as, first. protecting public interest. and. sec- ond. as converting the occupation Of real estate operation into a pro- | fession.
 Tt docs not protect the public, and there is no justification for turning the occupation into a profess sion, since neither the business methods nor the training of real tors are up to the standard of a profession"
 turbaice in the senate today, attacks by two resulting in two roll calls in which they adhered strictly to party lines.
 Tox Attacks Committee A violent attack by Senator Fox of New London, in which he advised the judiciary committee to hang its head in shame" and accused it of acting more for political ex- pediency than for public service" preceded a roll call on a resolution appointing Frederick Schofield judge of the Waterford court.
 Two attacks by Senator Goldstein of Bridgeport against the judiciary committee for reporting unfavorably on his two bills-one shifting the burden of proving contributory negligence in accident cases from the plaintiff to the defendant. the other providing that the driver of an auto, when case involving an accident is against the owner of the auto be considered duty authorized agent of the owner preceded two roll calls.
 The senate concured in the ap- pointment of Schofield as judge and rejected the two Goldstein bills. by vote of 21 to II.
 Senator Peasley. in reporting the favorable action of the judiciary on Schofield, carpenter. said that. of the two men considered for the post, Schofield and former Senator J. James Floyd. Schofield was consid- cred the "wisest choice"
 Criticises selection
 To this Senator Fox retortcd: "The committee ought to hang it's head in shame. Schofield was not the wisest choice. but the wisest political choice. Any time group of men like those on the committee choose from the mechanical trades rather than from the bar an occupant of a judge- ship. then such a group is that behind the times, even if such choice were made for political expediency. Why was not a lawyer chosen for the post?''
 Senator Fox said that ex-Senator Floyd had established the court at Waterford and had served as it's prosecutor for six years. and that, besides, he had come from one of the best universities in the country. He then demanded a roll call.
 Senator Peasley replied: There are times when it Is wiser to appoint a carpenter to the bench than a lawyer.
 "The best university doesn't al- ways qualify a man for judgeship. We are informed that Schofield did not seek the post. that he knew no law. as Senator Fox has said.
 That is true. But it was consid- cred wiser to appoint him than the other man. The committee will not hang it's head in shame and it has no apologies 10 make"
 Roll Call Follows
 The roll call followed vote which Lieutenant Governor Rogers thought was doubtful.
 Immediately thereafter, the senate concurred with the house in adopt ing the resolution appointing Stanley Morgan judge at Waterford.
