 Bar Meeting
Annual Session Will Take
 Place on May s

Attorney John H. Cassidy. presi- dent of the Waterbury Bar associa- tion, appointed this morning three members of the Bar as nominating committee to bring in slate of new officers for the annual meeting on May 9th. Those appointed were At torneys Francis P. Guilfoile. Law renee l.. Lewis and Herman J .Weis- man. The appointment is according to the constitution and bylaws Of the local bar association.
 At the same meeting it is expected that a report will be made on the annual outing of the association to be held after the last court session of the June term. Attorney Cassidy appointed a committee at the last monthly meeting of the bar at the Hotel Waterbury to prepare plans for the annual outing and report at the annual meeting in May. The committee was instructed to select the location for the outing and to re- port on whether the outing will be in the form of boat ride as was the case last year. The association held two outings last year, one in June at the close of the courts and the other in September just before the opening of the fall term. The first outing was an experiment to learn the reaction of the barristers to such ventures. This outing proved popular beyond all expectations. nearly 100 per cent attendance being recorded.

IN. H. ROAD STARTS
 NEW FAST FREIGHT
"Speed-Witch" to Cut BOs= tOn=BaltimOre Run Time
 in Half
SLAP AT TRUCKS

The Speed -Witch,' a new freight train between Boston and Baltimore, cutting in half the time for the transportation of freight between these points, was placed in service today by the New Haven railroad. Railroad officials. speaking of the new train, point out that the general speeding up of freight train service during the past few years has great ly reduced inventories carried by manufacturers and merchants, and add that the Speed Witch "elimi- mates the inventory altogether
 Southbound the new train leaves Boston at .4:20 P. m. and is. due ir Baltimore at 7:15 the following morning, and in railroad circles is regarded as bid on the part of the railroad company for business lost to the motor trucks. The leaving time from Providence is 8:10 D. m. from Springfield GAO D. m., from Hartford 7:30 D. m.. from New Ha. ven 9:20 and from Bridgeport 10:04
 If this train proves to be popular it will in all likelihood be followed by others similarly operated or practically passenger schedules.
 Highway trucks and local trains in the surrounding territory feed in. to the above points. thus giving the entire territory the benefit of thi: new speedy service.
 Northbound the Speed Witch leaves Baltimore at 12:30 p. m. Philadelphia at 4 D. m., due 1T Bridgeport at 10:30 D. m.. New Ha. ven 11:05. Hartford 4:1O a. m. Springfield 5:25 a. m., Providence 2:30 a. m., and Boston 4:15 a. m.

PLANS TO IMPROVE
 BALDWIN STREET
Washington School Main- taining Its Reputation as
 Real Beauty Spot
IMPROVEMENTS COMING


 Somebody who understands his business is at work at Washington school grounds and soon the place will look as attractive as. sever and people who pass that way will stop to admire the great variety of fiow- CTS. According to published reports, marked Improvements will be made on Baldwin street this year. The tracks will be removed, the curbs re- set and the walks and roadway from Scovilrs bridge clear down to the Pearl Lake road put in better condi- tion than ever before. It is believed that this will prompt owners of property along the route to make the view as presentable as possible.
 The late Father Curtin used to say that one could tell the character of neighborhood by the condition of the yards, front and rear, and fre- quently took occasion to make the matter subject for talk at this season. It is said that one of the many ways towns and cities will ob- serve the two hundredth anniversary of George Washington next year will be by setting out trees. Why not make a start now?

The, New Library
 at Waterville Will Be Occupied Some Time During This
 Summer

The cells installed in the building at Waterville, just south of the fire station have been removed, and as soon as some other necessary work is installed, the branch of the Silas Bronson library, for oyer 20 years located in the Carney building will be removed to the new place. It was originally intended that the structure at the fire house would be used as a police barrack, but this idea has been abandoned and it was decided to put it to some other purpose.
 No complaint has been made about how the library was used by the owner of the Carney block. the change being made because it put the library in a city owned building where it will save the cost of rent and also be in position to serve the public as well as at the old stand. Two floors will be used in the new library. No date has been fixed for the removal to the new To- cation. but it is believed that 1t will take place some time this summer after due notice has been given to Mir Carney.

HOW TO REDUCE
 COST OF GOVT Plan May Yet Be Put Into Practice in This
 State WAITING FOR AIR SERVICE

Asked what he thought about the talk in New Haven of giving prefer ence to it's own inhabitants in the matter of employment, gentleman from that city said he would not care to be quoted on the question, adding that 1t has been brought up quite frequently, but nothing definite ever was done about it. He finally did admit that people who have es- tablished residences in community and help meet the expenses incident to its regulation, should not be crowded out of work for those who find it to their own advantage to live elsewhere.
 The gentleman said what no doubt is true. It is one of those subjects that few care to take sides on, but while taking this view of the case he did admit that he believed at some future date, all these towns adjoin- ing New Haven, and which were originally taken from New Haven in advantage to come under one govern ment, thus doing away with vast amount of overhead expenses.
 It is doubtful if such thing ever will take place. but nobody can tell what changes time may bring. Owing to the great improvements made in transportation facilities the past few years some find it convenient. and profitable, too, to live in towns where living conditions are reasonable and seek employment any place where they can find the best market for their labor. The trolley, the bus and the automobile have worked wonders in the matter of getting to and from places of employment, and nobody is wise enough at this time to foresee what the air service will do when 1t comes into common use. If 1t proves as much of a success as some pre- dict for it, it will be possible to work miles away from the home and go back and forth to dinner and be on hand both places in due season.

 In Report To-day
Connecticut Light and Power Supt Points Out Increase
 in Power Load of Month Over Same Period in l93O

An extremely encouraging report emanated from the office of Charles J. Allen, superintendent of the Connecticut Light and Power and the Waterbury Gas Light companies. this morning. For the first time in 1881, the power load of the past month exceeded that of the corre- spending month of last year." he said. This, of course, is in reference to the Waterbury district.
 Although this may not seem t0 be a significant thing. it is consid- cred by many as one of the best in- dexes to the progressiveness of the community.
 The fact that more electricity is being used is an indication that ma chinery is being used, and this in turn is synonymous with increased activity in manufacturing.
 MT Allen is enthusiastic in the report which shows that for the first time this year, the power load is greater than that of last year.

Radio Is Not
 Paper Competitor A. X P. Using More News paper Space Since Go-
 ing on Air

New York April 2S-Complaints of newspaper publishers at their recent meeting in this city that radio broadcast advertising is un- fairly injuring their business are not borne out by the experience of The Great Atlantic X Pacific Tea com pany, very large buyer of news paper space as well as of time" on the air.
 Speaking of the matter to-day, H. J. Wright, advertising director of the company said: "A & Ps Gypsy Hour every Monday evening is the oldest program now on the air. During the six years of it's ex- istence the company's bills for newspaper advertising have in- creased steadily. Last November we started morning broadcast Colonel Goodbody's food talks. In the 23 weeks that have elapsed since that date our expenditures for newspaper advertising have been 13 per cent more than they were during the same period in 1880.
 "The morning broadcast. to be sure, contains no advertising, con- sisting merely of information about the movement of food from its sources to retail stores and about dietetic value and the best use of food But the unique character cs this broadcast does not weaken our impression that broadcast ad- vertsing. instead of being an unfair competitor of newspaper advertis- ing, as some of the publishers say acts as an energiser O. newspaper advertising. Under normal condi- tions radio broadcasting should tend to increase the volume of newspa- per advertising"

0.NSO Feeling fit and tuned
up for a golf game, the Prince of
Wales arrived here aboard the
S. S. Oropesa from England today
en- route to Buenos Aires to open
the British trades exhibition.
The heir to the British throne,
who is adding a few thousand
more miles to his already i'm
posing globe-trotting total, was
accompanied by his youngest
brother, Prince George.
In accordance with the Prince
of Wales expressed wish, there
was no formal reception. Wales
travelled as the Earl of Chester
and his brother as plain Lieut..
George Windsor, r. NJ, and as a
consequence no guns doomed a
salute to King Georges sons as
the Oropesa arrived after its
stormy journey.
The Oropesa arrived IL hours
late, owing to midatlantic storms,
but this enabled the Prince of
Wales to get in the game of golf
which was planned for him.
The Princes we're met at Tuck
ertown by Acting Gov. E. w.

the liner, the royal visitors were
taken to the mid.ocean golf
course, where the Prince of Wales
played with the local champion.

President Hoover's influence
with an overwhelmingly Repub-
lican House today approached
a serious test in battles over the
Senate's $25,000,O00 food relief
amendment, cash payment Of
soldiers compensation certificates
and embargo legislation directed
against Soviet Russia.
In the face of the Administra.
tion's opposition to these pro-
pos-.ls, House committees now
are graphing with all questions,
and leaders are considering the
necessity of compromise.
Test Is Seen
Thus far during the present
short session the House, as usual,
has stood by the President in his
many clashes with the Senate.
Whether leaders can keep men,
bers in line, with pressure being
exerted from back home" Is
causing serious concern.
