Considers Suggestion to Advise Getting Rid Of Connecticut
 Enforcement Statute
DECLARES HE WILL BE
 FULL TIME GOVERNOR

cidcnlal to Goycrnorship-Prob ably Will Live at Hartford Club
 Plans to Take Advantage Of Gov. , TrumbulI's OfYcr to Visit Officc. New Haven. Nov. (uP)-A rec tumendatlon concerning repeal of Connecticut state prohibition en- sorcemcnt act is being considered by Dr. Wilbur l.. Cross, democratic governor elect, in connection with iis message to the next general as sembly, the United Press learned to- day.
 Such a repeal measure, it is be- leved, would be consistent with Cross's opposition to the federal prohibition amendment, for sec lion one Of the statutes defines the fcrm "spirituous and intoxicating liquors in accordance with the detl- rtton contained in the federal pro- vision.
 Court Congestion Cited
 Congestion of state courts and al- lcgcd corruption Of police and oth- er officials resulting from attempted state enforcement are said to be fac tcrs represented to the governor elect as calling for legislative action.
 Cross said today that he was un- willing at this time to make defi- rite pronouncement regarding re- peal of the statute.
 I'm not going to commit myself cn anything | haven't thoroughly thought out" he said "Thcrc's no douht great deal of corruption has resulted from attempts to enforce the law. But 1 haven't even started To write my message to the legisla- lure yet"
 Several state senators have had repeal measures under considera lion but have awaited some definite word from the governor-el be- lore formulating them definitely. Were behind him {Cross) what eyer he says in the matter" one of thcse said. today.
 The state enforcement act was passed after q bitter legislative bat llc in 1921. II is comprehensive and thoroughly supports the federal Vol s cad act. Its passage was opposed by many of those who had fought successfully to prevent Connecticut from ratifying the 18th amendment.
 Stresses State Rights
 The chief factor in Cross's oppo- eition to the United States consti- tutional provision is that it pre- sumes to regulate what he considers 2 matter of purely state concern. During his campaign against Lieu tenant Governor Ernest r.. Rogers for the goycrnorship, Cross asserted ho would bend every effort, If elect GI, toward summoning national constitutional convention to consider repeal of the 18th amendment pro- .ded congress did not take some re- peal action within a year
 The matter of appointments which will face Cross immediately on his induction to office is receiv- Ing his consideration at this time. Wherever possible he plans to con- fer with possible appointees in an effort to determine for himself their fitness. This problem was understood to have been the subject of con ference between Cross, Democratic

MARKET FACES
SELLING WAVE
By w. s. COUSINS

NEW YORK, Nov. 8 Q.N.SJ.
The weekend market faced an
other cloudburst of selling in the
utility stocks and specialties as
the result Of which prices in this
section Of the market were forced
to new low levels for the year.
Railroad stocks were also un-
der severe pressure, with COM
paratively little buying demand,
but the industrials received bet
ter support and In some cases
were able to stem the tide Of liqui.
dation and to close the short
session with fractional gains.
The gas and electric light
stocks suffered the bugaboo of
political oppression" by the
newly-elected State and Federal
officials as well as from the fact
that the work of Strengthening
out the excesSes Of the 1929 bull
market had not yet been COM
pleted. North American, Column
bia Gas, Consolidated Gas. United
Corpofation, United Gas Improve
ment and Public Service Of New
Jersey were the heaviest losers
In this move.
Rallies at the close were few
and far between and the general
average Of prices was in new low
ground for the year.

See Gasoline Consumption
Diverted Downward

The consumption Of gasoline IN
recent months has been sharply
diverted downward from its nor
NAL course by the business depres'
sion, according to a national sur
vey Of potential national petro
leum economics and made public
today By the Interior Department
The report says:
During the third quarter Of
the year gasoline consumption
was running about ] per cent
below . level calculated as nOI-
NAL, and with the business out
look stiIl obscure, the prospects
for q favorable gasoline demand
during the period under con.
sideration are not promising. In
the absence Of q basis for pre-
cision, a range Of demands
from q decrease Of 4 per cent to
an increase Of 4 per cent has
been forecast, and this spread
seems likely to include the
actual Developments"
The report indicated the gaSo
line inventory on March 81 nex1
would be around 40,O00,00 bar
rels. The report continued:
'The petroleum industry en-
tered the current business de-
preston with excessive plant
capacity, large inventories, and
an enormous drilled up pOten-
tiaI supply Of crude oil. Dur
ing the first six months Of the
depression, the demands for
petroleum products were only
moderately retarded and thus
the Curtailment schedules In
effect in the industry were suf-
ficient to keep supply and de-
mand in approximate balance,
although unfortunately no ma
terial progress was m . d e
toward the liquidation Of In
ventOries or in the reduction
Of drilling and capital expan-
sion.
'Tn the late spring, however,
the aggravated severity of the
business depression led to .
much more adverse decline in
oil consumption, until In the
summer the demand for gasO-
line and for all oil products
had fallen approximately seven
per cent below the levels con.
sidered normal for that period.
This supplementary drop In
consumption, together with the
uncertainty Of the duration Of
the lower figures, creates q new
and perpIexing problem for the
petroleum industry to meet, and
additional curtailment Of both
refinery operations and crude
oil production.
"Curtailment Of production
alone cannot remedy these con-
ditiOns. To reach the root Of
the difficulty win require re-
strictiOn Of drilling, abridgment
Of plant expansion and . mod
ernization Of the prevailing
method Of crude oil production
to place this department Of the
business In low cost brackets
and on q competitive basis
with the rest Of the world.
"The committee desires to
point out further that the Ket-
tIeman Hills and Belridge areas
Of California have enormous 20
tentialities for the manufacture
Of IOw-cOst gasoline, and unless

 Valade almost had the rear of his pants bitten off when a bear and cubs, he was sneaking up on, slid around to his starbOard side and circled back of him, uninten- tionally. When the bears got a Whiff of Valade, Horton, who was watching the scene from a nearby ridge, said they turned tail and fled away from that place with the speed of the wind. Valade has it doped out the bears must have been about IS feet behind. ! Horton now has the worthy am bition of going into the depths of the frigid Arctic zone after polar bear. valade gives his partner credit for being the champion hot cake maker in the Territory; at the same time he apologized for being so lax in rolling out of the hay in the mornings.
 Some of the bear trails they fol- lowed were worn down one and one half feet, Valade stated. The men were also very fortunate in obtain ing a large number of photographic studies of bears and their cubs
 Both men lauded to the skies ot splendid courtesy extended to them by the cannery superintendents with whom they visited, namely H. T. Domenici, of the N. F Al, whose never failing efforts to make them feel at home will ever rmain one of the pleasant features of their hunt in the Uyak Bay country

NEW YORK CITY, N. r., Dec. 19-An account of the shipment of the remains of the Russian Czar and his family after execution is told in the New York World.
 Franklin Clarkin, former Amer ican Vice. Consul at Harbin, said the remains of the royal family were unkowningly spirited through the Red lines on the American Consular train and taken to Omsk.
 The ashes of the royal family are now in the family vault of French General Janin, near Paris.
 Consul General Harris did not know what was in box in his private car until it was claimed at Harbin when an officer told him you do not know what you have brought. You have brought His Excelency, all that is left of the Czar and the Imperial family of Russia.

 Mrs. AnedrsOn said other judges and their wives used the negro messengers in the same way.

LONDON, Dec. 19.-London's
 swanky Westend night clubs are
 going to lose their most dis
 tinguished patron fer few
 months.
 Britain's idol, the Prince of
 Wales, is 10 be the nations
 business ambassador again and
 see what can be done about the
 South American trade.
 A visit by the prince has been enough to make" a night club and he has been responsible to some ex- tent for their popularity since the war, often appearing with few friends for an hour or so.
 Still if the night. clubs miss the princes not infrequent visits, more stable enterprises in England will not mourn.
 England's industry has been in the doldrums and an increase in South American export would meet  cheers.
 Going by easy stages down the west coast of the southern conti- nent, calling at capitals and chief cities, the prince will open the British Empire trade exhibition in Beunos Aires March IA
 The exhibit, of course, is a dem- onstration of what Britain has to offer and a bid for more business.
 But for all his gay doings the prince has a decidedly serious side and carries through anything he undertakes.
 Five years ago he made his first conquest of South America. This time he goes armed with greater maturity-he is 36, although his looks belle it-a firmer knowledge of the needs of the empire. and, perhaps most important for this trip a good working command of Spanish.
 He has been at his study of Spanish assiduously with special tutoring for several months. His professor is enthusiastic over his work and the prince has progressed far enough even to venture to use the new tongue publicly when ad- dressing Spanish groups.
 His listeners have been charmed so completely that the princes Spanish, good or bad, accent or not, is expected to play no small part in this second conquest of the pampas.
 Then, too, H. R. H. can tango and rather well. When he returned
