 Wilcox Breaks Tie
 State Capitol, Hartford, Conn, March 2-(Special to The Demo- crat)-For the first time at this session of the legislature it was necessary for Lieutenant Governor Roy c. Wilcox of Meriden to break tie vote in the senate. This was due to the absence of Senator John c. Blackall, democrat, of Hart ford, leaving the lineup tied al IF members for each party.
 The vote came on the unfavor- able report of the judiciary com mittee on one of Governor Cross recommendations, that for govern mental department reorganization The senate minority leader, How ard Alcorn, moved that the unfa- vorable report be accepted, but Majority Leader Frank Bergin dis scented and called for a roll call vote. The first count showed 17 republicans and 16 democrats but Senator Joseph A. Hackett of Wa terbury, who had been absent from the chamber during the de- bate, returned in time to have himself recorded with the other democrats.
 When the tie vote was an- nounced Lieutenant Governor Will cox availed himself of his first op- portunity to vote and broke the deadlock, thus sustaining the unfa- vorable report. This is the second major bill of the governors legis- lative program that the repub- licans in the legislature have de- feated, the first being the district court bill which is now dead locked, the house defeating it, the senate sustaining.
 Upon recommendation of the committee on roads, rivers and bridges, of which Senator Joseph H. Lawlor of Waterbury is chair man, the house rejected to-day d bill placing a road from Prospect

A dramatic vehicle of love and redemption with a sensational pri- son background opens at the Dream Theatre. Tuesday night. April IS. The film is "The Grim final Code" by Martin Flavin, the Columbia film adapted from Broad |way's smashing stage hit of the same name which won the New York Theatre Club Trophy as the best play Of the year. It was a prise-winning play and If any pri- res are offered 1t will be a prize winning picture.
 The tale is of love, of the police courts, and of the heart-breaking legal cruelty that exists in prison. 1t is realistic-realistic to the ex- tent that it shocks and startles and the stirring love scenes were poignant enough to rouse the mot ions of blase Broadway. Unfolded for the major part in state's prison. the story depicts a beauti- ful romance between youthful convict and the warden's daughter. Bob Graham, the convict, was giv- en ten years for killing which 'was more or less justified. After six years of prisons brutalizing influence he Is on the verge of q complete collapse.
