Hot Soup ''Blast' Only
 Leaking Gas Explosion

Detroit, Mich., April lo H}- Alex Sutherland's wife was away and he had his big chance to cook up mess of fiery, hot soup, full of pepper. the kind he all ways yearned for but which his wife denied him.
 He used a lot of cayenne and other peppery ingredients to put the desired warmth into the soup, and, full of pleasant anticipation, placed the raw material on the stove and struck match.
 A few minutes later neighbors fshed Mir. Sutherland out from beneath kitchen table. amid a tangled mass of wreckage that was the Sutherland kitchen.
 "The soup -- too hot must have exploded" murmured Alex, when he recovered consciousness.
 It will be some time before neighbors can fully persuade him that the explosion was caused by escaping gas, and not good, fiery hot soup.

HOPES FOR ACTION 1. 0N UNEMPLOYMENT
Senator Wagner to Press Pass
 age Of Remedial Laws

Washington, April 15 LR,-A de- termined campaign 10 obtain con- gressionaI approval for his unem- ployment legislation is planned by Senator Wagner, democrat, New York.
 He is confident of speedy passage by the senate when his measures are taken up-probably late today or tomorrow-andt then he is to go di- rect to the leaders of the house and urge that they be expedited there.
 For this appeal, he said today, he is counting heavily upon his asser- tions that the measures carry out the unemployment principles endorsed by President Hoover.
 Comprises Three Bills Senator Wagner has prepared three bills, two of which are on the senate calendar for consideration as soon as action is taken on the George immigration measure. These two would expand the present ma chinery for collecting employment statistics and set up an employment stabilization board for longtime planning of public works to offset depression periods.
 The third bill would create fed cral employment system to cooper ate with state agencies. He hopes to obtain consideration for this measure together with the others, although objection has been raised to this procedure.
 "I will present the three bills as a complete plan," he said, urging passage of the full program. Should fail to get unanimous consent for the consideration of the third meas ure. I will move consideration, cX- l pccting favorable majority vote."

 "Persisting and painstaking effort on the part of each republican ad- ministratlon since 1915 has made this impressive financial achieve ment possible. The achievement IS even more striking when in looking establishment and strict adherence to the pay as you go policy has resulted in surplus each year in- stead of the old system of deficits. During all this time we have built one of the best modern highway systems in the union and have en- tered into a program of construc-' tion at state institutions and with state buildings which has run into hundreds of thousands, all Of which has beenapaid for out of current income.
 Tn Connecticut we do not believe in handing our debts down to our children. Many other states do. Ree- ords of the federal department Of commerce show that in the last i able up. to 1917. in the United States as a whole, state indebted ness has increased about 45 per cent while in Connecticut in the same period, due to the steady accumula- tion in the sinking fund, the actual deduction during the period was al most 55 per cent.
 While many states in this coun- ! try collect from 25 per cent to 50 per cent of their income from d- rect property tax, Connecticut is one of the four states in the union which imposes a minimum general | property tax on it's people. Less than six per cent of Connecticut's revenue comes from this source. Unlike many other states we have no state income tax. The collection of state revenues
 present no burden to the public or | to any particular group. We make our income sufficient to take care i of every item of legitimate expense ] and we find each year a reasonable I balance after we pay every bill con- 1 tracted by the state. Few If any i states can point to a similar record over a comparable space of time.
 Our democratic friends had an op-
 portunity 10 demonstrate their
 abilities and the comparison is such that no thinking citizen of the state
 would desire to go back to the democratic system, On Connecticut
 financial record alone. the republi-
 can party will be overwhelmingly
 victorious next month";
