War Volume Will Give City First
 Historical Position
Bridgeport, New Haven and Hartford Sent Twice as j. Many Men to COlOrs and One Volume Each Will {, Be Necessary to Carry All Data-Letter Replies :, to Query By Mayor Hayes

, are made much more difficult by reason of certain administrative needs involving the daily use of these records, I am trying to keep iE mind the fact that the greatest value of this roster will be found in it's being so compiled as to be of ready reference to those who will make use of it.
 With this thought in mind it is my intention to make separate volumes of those cities that have in their record enough names to make a. substantial volume. In explanation of this, let me say that I plan to publish the roster in seven or eight volumes, one of which will be an index. If this is SO done as to provide an equal number of names being recorded in each volume then there will be between 5000 and 11,000 names per volume. The roster will be printed alphabetically by towns. tte first volume, therefore, will be- gin with Andover and the last will end with Woodbury. I like the thought of listing by towns as I believe it will add to the natural pride the towns have in their veter- ans as well as serve other purposes in having this record treat the town as the basic unit rather than either the county or the state.
 As it happens, the cities of Bridgeport, New Haven and Hart ford, each have q list of approxi- mately 5000 names, while Water- bury has approximately 5000. The former three cities, therefore, will make convenient single volume without involving the cost of an additional binding and also are so spread through the alphabet as to permit their separation in this manner without upsetting the di- vision of the other towns into vol umes of similar size. On the other hand. Waterbury IS not large enough to economically make into single volume and it is. therefore. my intention to give Waterbury the place as the first city in the last volume which will include all succeeding towns beyond Water- bury in the alphabet. I do not think this will affect easy refer ence.
 Of course, my plans on this en- tire work are as yet immature and 1 may yet find tat Waterbury can be printed in a single volume with economy. At any rate. l am very glad to receive your letter.
 It was my express purpose in publishing the statement contained ir some of the papers concerning ti.is work to get just such express siCns of interest as you have given, particularly as this is the time to get them and not somewhat later when further maturity of plans will make more difficult any ad- jCstments. I shall be glad to get your reaction to the above and any other suggestions that you may have to make.
 Sincerely,

PLAN
 FOR INSURANCE
 ON UNEMPLOYED
Will Ask New York Legis= lature to Adopt It-Em- ployers Only Will Be Asked to Contribute

Albany, N. Y., Feb 15-UP)- Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt will ask the New York state legis- lature to adopt an unemployment insurance plan requiring employ CT contributions but none from workers, he has announced in mak- ing public the report of the inter- state com mission on unemploy- ment insurance.
 The recommendations include:
 Contributions by the employer of per cent of his payroll to a reserve fund; reduction of the payment to 1 per cent when the accumulated reserve amounts to $50 per employe; limitation of the fund required to $75 per employe.
 A maximum benefit rate of $10 a week or 50 per cent of the em- ploye's wage, whichever is lower: a maximum period of benefit of 10 weeks in the year; limitation of the employers liability to the amount of his reserve fund.
 Each employers reserve to be kept separate, and not pooled with the funds of others.
 Creation of an unemployment administration of three members representing labor, industry and the public, to receive, invest, and disburse the funds.
 The plan Is designed to provide against "the persistent unemploy- ment and irregularity of operation which is so characteristic of American industry" the report states. It says the only way to ob- tain widespread adoption of unem- ployment insurance is to make it compulsory.
 The commission was created at an unemployment insurance con- ference called by Roosevelt in January, 1891. 1t consists of six members, representing the gover- nors of the six industrial states participating.
 The members are: New York, Dr Leo Wolman, chairman, professor of economics, Columbia university; Massachusetts, A. Lincoln Milene. merchant; New Jersey, Labor Commissioner Charles R. Blunt; Pennsylvania, C. Am. Kulp, pro- lessor of insurance, University of Pennsylvania; Connecticut, Deputy Labor Commissioner W. J. Couper: Ohio, w. M. Leiserson, professor of economies.

Small Sum S
 Make Big Totals
COntribu ton s Received for the School Milk
 Fund

Seventy-five cents was received today for the public school milk fund from "A Driggs School Pupil" Dr E. J. Godfrey, local health officer in charge of the fund, announced this morning. This donation, Dr Godfrey stated, was an example of how the chill dren of the schools appreciate the good being done for them by the grown-ups and added that 1t also shows the spirit of a school child for such a fine undertaking.
 The school milk fund now totals s6,730.09. This sum, however, is far short of the $10,000 goal set when the schools opened last fall. Dr Godfrey stated this morning that he has hopes, though, that as the donations from public spirited persons continue to come in the $10,0O0 mark will be reached eventually.
 stephen Gyuricsko, who has set a 5O-cent quota for hemself, week. ly, sent in his fifty cents today as usual, thereby helping to keep the fund growing.
 Others received from today in- cluded: A Friend, $2; Carries E. Lewis, $1; A Friend, $1; Mrs Sophie Keeley, $5; Mrs Michael C. Donovan, $10.

Due to the fact that Waterbury sent but 5000 soldiers to the world var as against 5000 or more by : New Haven, Hartford and Bridge ] Bort respectively, William F. Ladd, writing from the Adjutant Generals ofYice in Hartford in answer to Mayor Hayes, to-day gave this rea- son why these cities are to be al- located one volume each while Wa oerbury is to be included with other towns of the state. The brigadier general made 1t plain that Water bury will be given first position in iehis particular volume, and the bal ance of the space devoted to towns Following 1t in the alphabet.
 49 Ladd admits this plan is still more or less immature and sought an expression from Mayor Hayes on the value of the arrangement.
 The letter follows:
 Dear Mayor Hayes:

A Connecticut World war roster was ordered by the general assembly of 1925 subect to later confirmation in the form of an ap- propriation in an amount sufficient to provide for the cost thereof, Rrior to this time, by reason of constant and numerous changes in cur records from our sources, 1t fias not been wise to publish the Foster, but as the number of these changes has now materially de- creased it is my intention to re- quest the general assembly of 1893 for the monies to proceed with this valuable work.
 You will readily appreciate that this work is a considerable under taking as it involves the names and service records of approxi- mateIy 10000 Connecticut men and women. In my plans, which

and ability outweigh the fact that New York state already had two of the nine judges of the highest tribunal, Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes and Harlan Fiske Stone.
 Cardozo, now chief justice of his states highest court, the court of appeals, has served for IT years on the state bench. He was elected and reelected following his appointment by Governor Whitman with the support of both party organizations.
 Card0zO's appointment in- sures the continuation of the evenly-balanced division of the supreme court on vital social and economic questions.
 His own writings and what others say of him both indi- cate that he is a leader of s0- cial and legal philosophy in the same manner as was Holmes. His book of lectures, published in 1921, on ''The Nature of the Judicial Proc ess" cites Holmes as one of his chief sources in the course of an exploration of his own mind of the method by which judges do and should deter mine the law.
 Judge Benjamin Nathan Car dozo, above, chief justice of the New York court of appeals was born in New York city, May 24, 1870, the son of Judge Albert Cardozo, educated at Columbia, where a professor once said to him, "There goes the man who writes the most powerful English of any Columbia student since Hamilton" Son of Chief Justice Hughes was once his sec- retary.

 ''It's rather an absurd situation, commented the court "to think that you young men resorted to making liquor in defiance of the law and then expect to get away with it by d plea of straitened cir cumstances. The fine must be paid at once. If either one ot you come into court within the next six months for an offense whatever, you will serve the jail sentences suspended today"
 The two brothers were arrested by Patrolman Daniel J. Carson and his co-workers on the emergency squad, Officers Patrick J.

Auto Protest Broadcast Tonight Wallingford Man to Speak
 Against Rising
 Taxes

New Haven, March = A Con- necticut working man tonight will voice the protests of hundreds of Connecticut motorists over the ris- ing flood of motor vehicle taxation which threatens to place a serious financial barrier between them and the business and pleasure value of the automobile.
 He is Edward P. Dunn of W, lingford, shipping room foreman at the Wallingford plant of the In- ternational Silver company and he will be heard over a nationwide National Broadcastlng company hook-up which according to state- ments by R. Edwin Steele, secre- tary-manager of the Connecticut Motor Club describes as "the first national radio presentation in which the citizens of the United States will address members of congress on the exhoribtant char acter of taxation in the motor ve- hicle field to-day.
 The program will go on the air at 10:30 o'clock tonight. and will be introduced from WEAF by Err nest N. Smith, executive vice-pres- ident of the American Automobile Association, who will describe the nature of the program.
 The speakers will be persons in the ordinary walks of life. The part of the program originating in San Francisco will have a rancher, a salesman, tourist and q physi-, clan as the speakers. The part of the program originating in Chicago ,,,i l& AAUata1 Ca CT and a Texas COW puncher as gram originating in Washington will have as speakers Virginia school teacher, the editor of a North Carolina newspaper. a mos ther who drives her own car and q Pennsylvania state official. On the program originating in New York City on which Mr Dunn will be heard, there will be suburban ite from New Jersey and Thomas F. Henry, president of the A. A. A.
 Connecticut motorists participate in this program because they be- lieve that the 12S percent tax im- posed on motor vehicles during their life would appear to be suf- flcient at this time. As members of the A. A. A., with which the Con- necticut Motor Club Is affiliated, they are protesting through MT Dunn the imposition of a further taxation. They likewise are protest Ing the proposed further taxation of gasoline on which Connecticut motorists already pay two cent tax to the state of Connecticut.
