Boston, February 21 - Further evidence of New England's reIa- lively better record under depres- sion conditions is found in the sta tistics of shoe production, the New England Council, all-New England development organization, an- nounced today. Continuing series of statistical studies which have already shown New England's leadership in many lines, the council research department showed that with the single ex- ception of New state, New Eng

Much Crowding
 on the Busses
Standing Not Available on
 Some of the Runs

Whether the Connecticut Co. is making money these days it might be heard to tell, but it is certain that on many of the runs the busses are overcrowded, and at times folks cannot find standing room. The strange thing about it is that one rarely hears anybody finding fault. It seems people are thankful to be carried to and from their homes, even though they do have to crowd in, stand all the way and indulge in struggle to get out.
 One thing that helps Is the un- failing courtesy of the men in charge. They show a disposition to please patrons, and while they are frequently asked the cause of the crowding they have a way of replying which would lead one to believe that the company deserves credit for doing so well during these dull times. It pays to have help who can suit patrons under unfavorable conditions and yet make a point for their employers.

peal amendment may be instituted by q simple majority vote in prac- tically all legislatures, according to authorities here today. Under terms of the amendment, 1egisla- lures in order to ratify must cre- ate constitutional conventions.
 This amounts to passing a bill providing for such. Whether the conventions themselves will have to muster only q simple majority or a two-thirds vote to decide upon ratification might depend upon re- strictions included within the laws creating them or that point might be left to the decision of the con- ventions themselves.
 These are matters which each state is free to determine. The only only limits fixed by congress are that the ratification must be by state conventions and must occur within seven years.
