The battle over the Merritt Highway
still RACES in this state. Never for one
instant did we believe an issue could be
fought so holly as this one is. In fact
party lines are being swept aside as the
proponents and opponents deliver their
opinions. Instead of becoming weapon to
be used as a wedge in driving out Cover
nor Cross next year the most formidable
supporter of the republican party in the
state now is opposed to any special legis-
lative sessions to authorize immediate
construction of the proposed express
route. The Hartford Courant recently de-
clared that there were good and sufficient
reasons for not calling such session. The
Bridgeport Telegram, however, dissents.
We presume from it's comment on the
Courant editorial that it still believes leg
islative action necessary. We don't. In fact
the Democrat has come out against special
legislative sessions ever since the Cross
administration started There has been an
insistent demand for them, mainly from
republican sources. The Courant's main
reason for Directing is that there is no
certainty that once called special session
of the Legislature will do what is demand
of it. In view of what has occurred at our
last two legislative sessions this is enough
to keep us opposed.

ROOSEVELT FOR
NAVY PROGRAM
By International News Service

BY International News Service
President Roosevelt confirmed
today that the United States in
tends to go ahead with it's naval
building program, despite Sugges-
tions by Great Britain that part
of it will be held up pending de-
velopments in the disarmament
situation at Geneva.
Although the President said, in
response to questions, that the
British suggestions had not been
brought to his attention by the
State Department, he added that
the naval building program would
go ahead. He said contracts for
the construction of the vessels had
been let and there never has been
any question Of suspension.
The Presidents statement was
regarded in naval circles as nip
ping in the bud the British effort
to retard the American naval
building program.
The British suggestions were
made to Ambassador Norman H.
Davis in London last week and
were believed to relate to the four
10,O00-ton Cclass B, 6-inch gun
cruisers provided for in the pro-
gram.

Consequently. she is an au-

And she answers foolish re-
quests with as much grace and
tact as she does the sensible
ones of big executives.
Here's an example.
On several occasions, when she

looks astonished and asks if there
is a forty-eighth floor. The De-

where the organization of Brig.

COAL MEN RUSH
To TALK OVER
CODE CHANGE
Operators Hit Alteration by
President, See Government
Grabbing Too Much Power
By International News Service


The nations chief coal pro
ducers, surprised by President
Roosevelt's last-minute changes IN
the bituminous coal code. con-
ferred here today with legal ad-
visors on their "predicament."
Although many operators OBJ
jected seriously to change after
they had signed the code, they
were uncertain of their cause.
Several of the more important
operators were absent when the
code was signed and the changes
in it were announced. They be-
gan returning by plane and train.
All Feel Doubts
A spokesman for the National
Coal Association said:
"The operators have hardly
got their bearings. Many of
them simply do not recognize
their duty under the code in its
new form. The code to which
they had agreed is not the code
which the President has signed.
None of us knows exactly where
he is"
The chief change dealt with
the makeup of the National Bi-
luminous Coal Industrial Board.
In the code as sent to the Presi-
dent, the operators were to be
represented by nine members,
the President by five appointees,
and the National Recovery Ad-
ministrator was to act as ex-
officio chairman.
Under the Presidents eXecu-
tive order. he brings his repre-
sentation on the board to seven
members, including the National
Recovery Administrator. but re-
serves the right to add three
members of his own choosing or
substitute three members for any
one Of his other appointees
whenever he so desires.
See Deadlock Power
Thus the President can, when
ever a crisis arises which might
affect public welfare. increase his
representation to nine members
and deadlock all the operators
representatives, or, if necessary,
increase his representation to 10
members and defeat solid
operators bloc by a vote of 10
to 9.
In the conferences between
legal advisers, the operators are
trying to determine if they have
the legal right to reject the entire
code in order to force modifica-
ton of the Presidents Executive
order. In signing the code, how
ever the operators granted the
President the right to amend it in
any way he saw fit.
Another portion of the Executive
order which left the operators in
a state of bewilderment concerned
the making of reports to NRA
headquarters. The operators were
ordered to be prepared promptly
to furnish any type of informa-
ton on wages, employment condi-
tions, and prices the Government
might desire.
