Dillon Litigation
 Slated For Jury
Defense Rests at 1 l:30-Defendant Diamond Stand
 Most of Morning

He said the road (Woodtick road) was bad, full of holes.
 In cross examination conducted by Attorney McGrath, Diamond said he did not feel a thud against his car and explained there were a lot of humps in the road. He did not notice any difference in the bumps in road. He claimed he did not see the man and did not increase the speed of his car after the bump. He. said the bump did not shake up the passengers and there was no vibra-. ton felt. He said his brakes were in very good shape but he did not try to stop the car when he saw the man 15 feet ahead.
 Dumaine corroborated Diamonds testimony that the road was in bad condition. He said he lived on the road for seven months and was friend of the defendants. That night he said Diamonds companions came in with the defendant and were served beer and wine. He denied that the drinks were paid for, stat ing that he treated the visitors as friends.

IS GIVEN SETBACK FROM
 SUPREME COURT
Attornely General Was Awarded His First ViC= tory Since the Clash Was Started By Professor

Hartford. Conn, Jan 2S.-(UP)- Professor Albert Levitt's long drawn out battle against the state public utilities commission suffered a set back to-day as result of a decision by the state supreme court of errors, awarding the attorney-general his first victory in the legal controversy over removing the commission.
 Chief Justice William M. Malt bic held in an opinion handed down late yesterday that Superior Court Judge Allyn l.. Brown had been in error in refusing to grant the at torney-general rehearing on a man. damus order directing him to take action for removal of the commis- sion for alleged neglect of duty, as alleged by Levitt and 100 electors in petition. Judge Brown had up- held the former New York law pro- fessor's contention that the matter had already been adjudicated.

New York, Jan. 2S - Industry does not want an extra session or congress-; the country does not want it and legislative morator- ium will be helpful thing for the restoration of good business, was the purport of an official statement of the executive committee of the Ma tional Association of Manufacturers, issued to-day by J. Lewis Benton, general secretary, following the meeting.
 While industrial operations are still below the peak of this time a year ago. it is undoubtedly climb ing upward" the committee de- clared. "In some industrial centers and sections the improvement is considerably more marked than in others, but it is distinctly percept- ible in every part of the nation. There is nothing in our reports to indicate that we shall very soon re- to other days. It will probably re- quire several months yet to reach an economically, healthy, normal basis. The speed with which that is dore will be in proportion tc the public recovery from it's depre ssion com pleX, and to the reassertion of pub lie faith in the stability and suffi- ciency of American institutions for all the problems which both pros 'perity and depression have brought us.
 Among manufacturers and busl- ness men of all classes, confidence is undoubtedly growing. There is the strongest expectation among them that the next several months will witness constantly increasing improvement in the general situa- tion. In fact, one of the. fears now expressed by some manufacturers in various lines and sections, is that in the latter half of the year they may not be able to meet the cumulative demand for goods promptly. Re ports show that inventories very re- gently taken by producers and dis tribtutors are at an extremely low ebb. The merchants shelves and the manufacturers warehouses are more nearly empty to-day in pro- portion to public requirements, than they have been since the World war. It seems likely, therefore, that when the expected buying rush comes a few months hence, there will be great embarrassment in the matter of filling orders promptly.
 Another fear which is being in- creasingly manifested is that there w III Dc all S0SSlO1 ol the congress after March 4th. It is very strongly felt by business men in general, so far as We are able to interpret their feeling, that there will be no economic necessity for an extra sesison. Congress has all the time that is necessary to do all that is necessary to the countrys welfare. by the end of this session. Politics alone, therefore, will carry the re- sponsibility for an extraordinary sesison if it comes. Industry does not want it, and the country does not want it, and neither of them will be helpfully served by a pro- lcngation of those uncertainties and disturbing effects which always at tend extra sessions of congress.
 "1t is felt that nothing is more needed now than a legislative mora torium, to enable the nation to com plete its readjustment to conditions known. Interpreting, there fore, what we believe to be the gen. eral sentiment of not only business men, but other elements, we wish to urge our lawmakers in Washington to complete their constitutional program by March 4th. and then

 Creomulsion costs a little more than some helps-$1.25. But your druggist guarantees it. So it costs you nothing if you think it fails to render help that is quick and com plete. Careful people, more and more, demand this maximum protec. tion. Use it promptly.
