Washington, March 24-(UP)- Steady improvement in the condi- ton of banks and further strength. ening of the nations gold reserves was shown today in the federal re- serve systems weekly report.
 Meantime, federal aid for state banks outside the reserve system was imminent as the Steagall-Rob inson bill was prepared for Presi- dent Roosevelt's signature. Con- gressional action on the measure was completed yesterday.
 Reserve reports show that $751; 545,00O more gold flowed back to the central banks in the seven days ended Wednesday. Combined with gain of $327,238,000 in the pre- vious week, this brought gold re- serves up to their highest point since Feb IS.
 The ratio of the resolve banks gold reserves against deposits and federal reserve notes now stands at 55.5 per cent, against 45.6 per cent two weeks ago.
 Money in circulation declined $63S,000, 0,000, as the public put its cash back in the banks and checks again came into general use.
 Only $9,269,000 of emergency federal reserve bank notes have been put into circulation. The bureau of engraving has dismissed 587 temporary employees after working at top speed for 10 days to turn out $600,oo0, 900 of the new notes.

Hartford. Conn, Mar 24. (UP)- Establishment of a commission, to investigate the operations of Con- necticut public utilities companies (which would be neither a fishing nor whitewashing expedition" was urged before tho legislature judi ciary committee late yesterday by Prof Richard Joyce Smith of the Yale Law school.
 "The public utilities companies have no standing in telling the peo- pie of the state how they should be regulated" he declared, in repre- senting Governor Wilbur l.. Cross in..behalf of two bills concerning utfnties regulations.
 The measures would create a commission of five to study opera ton of present laws with a view to recommending remedial measures, and permit the public utilities com- mission to investigate utilities operations on its own initiative.
 There has been no revision of utilities laws since 1911, Prof Smith said, pointing out that such companies have gone through 6 period of their greatest develop ment siace that time.
 "The investigation would elimin- ate the unique notoriety the public utility problem has succeeded in gathering to itself in this state," he said. For years, regulation of the utilities has been a major political issue. Much of the talk made on political platforms cannot be sub- stantiated. This will determine whether there need be more politi- cal haranguing on the subject. It will be nithr fishing nor a white-

 Utilities officials bitterly opposed passage of the bills, pointing out that rates have been constantly re- duced and service extended to in- clude all of the smaller commu- mites in the state.
 "Why should this industry be in- vestigated any more than banking or insurance?" Attorney Edward M. Daly, representing the Connecti- cut Light & Power company asked.
 II believe that if this proposed investigation goes through that a public utilities official in this state will be taken suddenly i'll and make 6 sudden flight to Greece" Rep Michael w. Hullivan, Enfield, ntcr- posed.

 Chief Means of Fighting Infant Mortality

Hartford, March 24-Of the ap-
 proximately 26.0O0 babies born in
 Connecticut each year, about five percent die in the first year of life,
 a death rate which physician and health officers are striving to low CT through proper prenatal in- struction of expectant mothers, which will help to insure the birth of healthy children, 1t was stated by Dr A. Elizabeth Ingraham, di- rector of the Bureau of Child Hy- giene of the state department of health, in a department bulletin to-day.
 Immediate consultation with a physician as soon as the mother
 knows the baby is coming was ad-
 vised by Dr Ingraham, as well as constant contact with local nurse. since the latter can assist in following the doctors instructions.
 With tn eapproval of the physi- clan, the mother should request from the state department of health prenatal letters which are published in serial form. When ever you are in doubt about any thing, go to your physician for ad- vice. Take no chances. Good pre- natal care saves the life and as- sures the future good health of many mothers.
 Dr Ingraham stressed in par ticular the necessity for properly
 balanced diet, containing an abun-
 dant supply of milk, since milk contains the mineral essentials the baby is built during the pre-

 In addition to the physical side of prenatal care, the mental side is of equal importance, Dr Ingra- ham declared. and cheerful un- worried attitude should be main'- tained.
