See Danger Of Organization Split
 On Racial Lines
Attempt of Veterans of Italian Extraction to Form Separate Unit Recalls Disaster Which Marked Effort of Major Carroll Several Years Ago

such an idea ia approved, but as branch of the legion, the proposal doesn't register well with many members and officers of Corporal Frank Coyle Post. It may be the start of n movement which will divide the present body of Legion naires into separate units based solely on nationality.
 Several years ago Major J. Wil- liam Carroll attempted to organize n new post. He cited several in- stances to show that another branch of the legion would be n great thing for the city and of especial benefit for the national organization. His plan, notwith- standing all its good intentions, was knocked for q goal" To approve now of an Italian group would be a signal for other nationalities to form separate groups and carry on as separate societies. It is argued by many that Waterbury has too many ex-service mems groups at present and that the trend should be toward consolidation and not away from t.

 Feeble Minded Home
 Hartford, Conn, Feb 27--(UP)--- Favorable action on a bill author IzIng q $200,000 appropriation for construction of new home for feeble minded persons, will be sought at q hearing before the com mittee on humane institutions at the state capitol tomorrow.
 The measure was 1ntroduced In the house by Mrs Herbert Knox Smith of Pennington and is spon- sored by the commission on child welfare.
 More than 800 urgent cases are awaiting admission to Mansfield. state training school and hospital for feeble- minded, according to the commission which has listed 105 towns on the waiting list. Sixty percent of those in need Of immcd- late attention, the commission pointed out, are children.
 VACCINATION FIGHT
 Hartford, Conn, Feb 27. (UP)- Opponents of the state law which makes vaccination of school chill dren compulsory, already are pre- pairing for q fight in the legislature.
 Under tho leadership of the Con- nccticut Medical Liberty league these so-called "conscientious ob- jectors" will demand passage of a bill which makes vaccination op- tionaI. The hearing before the com- mittee on public health and safety will be held March 90.
 Two years ago a similar bill drew a crowd of supporters that packed the house chamber, and the Rev C. IT. Reimcrs, Durham, sccre- tary of the Medical Liberty league, predicts there will be 1,500 "con- Scicntious objectors" at the hear Ing this session.
 "We do not object to vaccination of children where the parents fa- vor it," the Rev Reimers said. but we are opposed to being or dered by the state to do so. If q parent 50 desires 1t is all right with us if COW pox is put into the child's blood before education is put into its head"
 Under the present law if q child is not vaccinated in q town or city where vaccination is compulsory, the child cannot attend school. If 1t is absent longer than week the parents are liable to arrest. Such arrests have been made.
 Under the bill sponsored at this session, parents opposed to vnccin- nation could secure a certificate of exemption from the town clerk by stating their objections and paying fec of $1.
 The Rev Rcimers. who had been working in session and out to line up sentiment for the bill. is oDti- mistic about the outcome.

 The announcement by Bcrgin was included in his answer to the demand of Thomas J. Spellacy. Hartford "old guard" leader. who demanded Bcrgin repeat certain charges outside the protectiv~ halls of the senate so that legal ac- ton might be instituted.

UNITED FRUIT COMPANY SHOWS
 ENORMOUS GAIN

New York, Feb 27 NUP)--A bat

 thrce-ycar struggle for control Of
 the United Fruit Company and cIoscd with virtual power in the hands of former polirh immi- grant, is described In the March b- sue of fortune magazine, published today.
 In January. 1930, the article says, United Fruit bought out Sam = uel Zemurray of New Orleans, at that time owner of the Cuyamcl Fruit and Stcmship Company, the terms of sale stipulating that Zemurray should not operate Il competitive business, Icmurray. however, was the holder of between 10000 and 100000 shares of United Fruit stock.
 In June. 1032. Zcmurray stalked into q stockholders meeting. flung proxies for large blocks of stock toward the directors, and took over tho reins of leadership with the nominal title of managing director in charge of operations.
 Following the meeting Victor M. Cutter, who had fought Zemurray for years, resigned ns president of the company and Francis Hart replaced him in that position. Zemurray became the real power behind the scenes. hponsoriDH drastic economies and reOrganiza- ton deficiencies to which is attri- buted the comparatively satisfact- ory financial statement issued by the company for the year 1882.
 Operating profit in 1882 was re- ported nt $l4,GGG,S3S. After re- ducting known md estimated losses in sugar and cocoa. fortune puts total earnings from Bananaa nt around $2l, 100000. Net income after fixed charges was $5.7o7,221.
 "'rhenc .earnings," the magazine remarks, would not have been so great had not Zcmurray pushed through the writing down of pro- pertlcs by $50.000, 1000, thereby Hnving depreciation charges. Even after the Wrlte-doWn the com pany's surplus was nearly $2S,- 900, 900.

TRAFFIC DEATHS INCREASED, BUT
 INJURIES DROP
Los Angeles Survey Re. veals Unusual Auto
 Toll Figures

Los Angcles--TrafIic accidents here decrcaBed during 1882, aB did traffic injuries. but traffic deaths increased.
 The apparent anomaly. one which police did not attempt to explain, raised q question to which the United Press attempted to find a logical answer through inter- views with laymcn. Here are some of the opinions:
 one. There has been 0 subtle relaxation in what was once an almost puritanical enforcement of the liquor laws in Los Angeles. This theory is apparently borne out by many symptoms. For in- stance, though liquor has been pcddled here more or less freely since prohibition. the Bpeakeasy and beer fiat virtually wcre un- known five years ago.
 Another Sign
 Another sign of overproduction in bootlegging is the current low price of wet goods--gin at S1 q bottle, bourbon" at $2.b0, wine at $4 n gallon. Unquestionably. liquor consumption took a jump with the recent appeal of the Wright Act, CnIifornin's dry enforcement law.
 Two. The largest city in area in tho country, Los Angeles presents an intricate problem in traffic control. With the installation of traffic lights and boulevard stops several years ago throughout this vnHt area. traffic police found themseivoB confronted by an al- most stagnated slowing-up of traffic. Then the signal fever" bee gan wearing off, and motorists be- gan taking whiat the police re- gard as liberties --- rushing" the green light. turning right with tho red light, making not-quitc-full stops at boulcvards. and the like.
 Vast Area
 Three. The vast area of tho city, necessitatIng through bouie- wards 10 to 20 miles long. and long trips at high speed from sub- urbs to business. The city ram- that trolley lines are not prac- ticablc in many neighborhoods, and this increases auto traffic.
 Of these causes, Police Statis- tician Rhoda Cross was inclined to credit liquor with the largest share. There is no question. shc said. but that auto accidents. triv. iai and fatal. had increased alarm ingIy since repeal of the state liquor law.
 There were 47s traffic deaths here in 1D32. as compared with 4g in 1881, though the percentage of accidents decreased 2f per cent.

Lowell Speaks
 at New Britain
Discusses Personalities in Machine Age Distrib-
 utiOn Also Discussed

Rev Moses IL. Lowell, pastor of the Second Congregational church. in his address at tho South Con- gregational church in New Britain in the "circlc of conversation" on the question "Can Personal Values Survive the Machine AgeY stated that he saw economic necessity forcing industry's leaders to give the same thorough attention through research and develop. ment. to distribution that in the past they gave to production.
 Success of their attention to tho production side he pointed out, while they neglected distribution. has thrown the economic system out of joint. He was inclined to blanc the situation chiefly upon those captains of industry.
 Through stressing of the possi- biIities of leisure widely used and the Likelihood of captains of indus try solving the problem of distri- button, an affirmative answer, to the subject mentioned in the first naragrnph, was given by the ma jority of speakers of those in tho "circle of conversation"
 Others in the circle included Dr Edmond B. Chaffec, director Of the Labor Temple in New York and Harold Bailey of Hartford. who felt that all society had been blind to where its course was lead ing. Miss Ruth I. seabury of the American Board definitely felt per. sonaI values had been lost or dam aged by the machine age and that the "man with the hoe" in the earlier day was happier than the machine worker of to-day.
 Henry T. Burr of Landers. Trary and Clark, held an opposite view. outside this depression period. which iie said would pass away. tho worker in normal times of thls machine age Is just as happy as his ancestors, # not more. And there is just about as much crea- tive work going on lin the produc. ton of these blue prints" as tn other directions in othar dsvA
