Cross Refused To
 Sign Levitt Measure
fContinued from Page fD

'I would approve the passage of bill repeating the clause about the right of appeal by petition of 1o0 electors if the suggested safeguard of appeal to the superior court or Q judge thereof were adopted in its stead. l can see no justification what. ever for emasculating the present law by striking from 1t a provision that has been considered q good principle for many years
 Governor Gross concluded by an- swering the argument that such a provision ought not to hold good in regard to the public utilities commis- sion any more than any other. He declared sufficient answer Is found in the fact that the public utilities commission in a peculiar way security of the individual citizen"
 Hartford, Conn, March 17.-(UP) Governor Wilbur l.. Cross to-day nominated an fnternationaIIy-k known authority on public utilities, Profes- sor Richard J. Smith of Yale Law school, for appointment as a mem Der of the state public utilities com mission to succeed Joseph w. Alsor of Avon.

 quested to draw up the plans was put to vote. The clerk calling for vote on this received the follow ing answers: Judge Beardsley, no; Con Bergin, no; Com Deming, no; Com Walsh, no and Com Scully, no; while Commissioners Dochelli, But Ter, Miller and Freedman voted yes. The recommendation was therefore rejected. This was in the form of either ratification or rejection of the action of the committee of the whole in engaging Mir Scholar.
 The recommendations were voted upon separately when Commissioner Deming stated that she was confused and that while she signed the report of the committee of the whole, now she wished to vote on individual rec concentrations as she saw them in a new light.
 Mayor Was Queried.
 When Mayor Hayes was queried relative to the facilities of the en- gineering department handling the plans and supervision of the school by Commissioner Vincent Miller, he answered that he had City En- gineer Cairns word that there is a competent graduate architect in his office and that he is capable of do- ing this work. '.Do you happen to know who 1t is, asked Commissioner Miller. ''I didn't ask MT Cairns any further questions. but suspect 1t is MT Benedict" said the mayor.
 Commissioner Butler said he saw no economy in the new manner of having the engineering department do the work, stating that if the plans of any other school were traced, the city would be liable for a fee to the architect who drew the original plans. To this the mayor replied that he was in accord with Mir But 1er's statement and that the plans should not be traced. It has been suggested in the past that the en- gineering department draws the plans, but this idea had been dis carded as impractical, said MT But- Ter.
 Dochelli Scores Committee.
 Mayor Hayes exclaimed that he would entertain motion that the committee of the whole be dis charged with thanks. Commission CT Miller stated that in view of the action taken this would be out of order. Commissioner Dochelli launched on scathing attack on the school house committee stating that it bought a lot on Highland avenue for $12,000 on which to erect new school but later an addition was built to the Town Plot school and this lot is now idle. This commit tee, according to Commissioner Do- chelli, also favored a new school for

Judge McGrath
 Very Emphatic
(continued from Page l.)

kContluueQ from Rag0 J..
 F. McGrath not only declined to consider any motion for a dismissal lof the charges, but positively re- fused to entertain the request for a reduction in bail.
 The charge is too serious to re-
 lease the accused in the custody of | their counsel. They were arrested on the complaint of the young girl and evidently there is something to 1.-the charges If they cannot furnish, the bail let them stay in jail. If the police can prove that someone has tempered with their witness or spirited her out of the city to pre- went her from testifying action should be started against them," re- marked Judge McGrath.
 Then we feel obliged to start habeas corpus proceedings, an- Iswered Attorney A. Henry Weisman, who with Attroney Ralph Coppetto lis appearing for Sullivan and Diste- Ifano.
 "Go ahead. That's the proper procedure" answered Judge Me- Grath. "Let the superior court de- eide on the merits of the case. but personally I don't think you will go |very far with your habeas corpus proceeding"
 Distefano was represented to the court as a victim of circumstances. "F1e has never met or seen the young girl and the girl has never met or seen him." his counsel stated. "The lfact that the states witness was found in the house of Distefano's parents while they are living at nregeut in WO0dhury may point to him as being guilty. but the .vidence took the girl to the house on Pleas |ant street, not Distefano. sI ask that

State at Large
 May Elect Him
(Continued from Page 1)


 The opinion in the legislature IS that the reapportionment of the con- gressional districts in Connecticut so as to create sixth district should not be carried out at this time. Fur ther study of the state is desired be- fore the present districts are cut up. There is bill on file in the legis- lative records, which has been there for many years and which has been carried along from term to term. providing for the six districts and designating their layout. However since this bill was drawn the poli- tical aspect of the state has changed considerably and the republicans want to layout the districts so as to bury democratic strongholds among republican towns and cities.
 Legislators at this time, therefore, favor the election of the sixth con- gresgman from the state at large. This means that in the state conven- tions of the party a congressman will be nominated along with the other state candidates. The remain ing five congressman will be nom- mated in their respective districts, as is the case now.
