VALIDATED LAWS

General Healing Act Seems Prob
 able Solution Of Situation
SOME ALREADY REPEALED
Problem of Making Statutes Retro active Also Faces Assembly, Conference Over Difficulties Ex- pected to Last Far Into Night.

Hartford Aug. 2 tFe-What to do with some of the 1500 laws recently invalidated by the opiinon of the supreme court in the McCook litiga- ton. in case those laws have been repealed since their passage, was one of the major difficulties con- fronting the legislative leaders to- day, and caused a conference that promised to last into the night.
 Compilation of approximately 15j0 of the invalidated laws has not shown which ones were repealed and no effort has been made to as- certain that data. Another problem seems to be how to make certain acts retroactive. and particularly those acts involving criminal law.
 The legislative leaders do not an ticipate any trouble on this score. but they will have to decide on a proper wording of the healing act.
 One Statute Favored
 The leaders in conference today are armed with various plans. but it is understood that they still ara confident that the healing act Will be drawn in general to make as laws of the state those laws publs!l- cd and certified to by the secretary of state and not signed by the gov crnor within three days of the ad- journment of the legislature.
 It is also reported that the blanket bill will refer only to the invalidat ed bills beginning with the session of 1919, since the fl laws signed too late from 1882 to 1919 have been validated already by the revision of the statutes in 1918.
 One of the plans of the legislative leaders is to annex the blanket heai- ing -act-if constitutional-to the laws of 1929 as the doings of a special session, and have it printed with the acts of 1929.
