SLEUTHS TO EYE
"REDS' MARCH 4
Inaugural Crowds to Be
Combed by 0ut-of-ToWn
PIainCIothes Men.

Experience in suppressing radical
demonstrations will be prime requisite
in the plain clothes policemen who will
be invited from out of town to protect
the crowds here during the Roosevelt
Garner Inauguration March 4.
Maj Ernest w. Brown, superintend-
ent of police, said today that during
past inaugurations the principal con-
Germ of the department was in protect
ing the visitors from getting their poe
kets picked. This year, however, things
have changed. Although the pick
pocket is by no means extinct, his i'm
dwindling. for obvious reasons. Mean
while, police troubles with those who
capitalize public occasions by staging
demonstrations of one sort or another
have been steadily mounting.
The Senate today approved an item
of $4,000 for police protection during
the inaugural period. It was approved
by the House yesterday and now goes to
the White House.
At the Inauguration of President
Hoover, four years ago, a similar appro-
priation was spent in part in bringing
to town IS plain-clothes detectives from
and 200 uniformed policemen from
Baltimore. They stayed five days. This
time the plans are to have the extra
force in town three days, March 8,
and 5.
1t is planned to bring a smaller group
of uniformed policemen from Baltimore,
but all of the plans must remain more
or less vague until the appropriation is
actually made.
The local police, who have beens called
upon to do much extra duty within the
last year, will get another stiff dose of
it during the Inauguration. For the
week preceding March 4 all days off
will be cancelled, and in addition each
man will be given extra duty. This will
enable the department to concentrate
a much larger force of policemen in the
downtown section than is normally
there The outlying sections will be
served with patrol of radio and scout
cars.

"GIVE AWAY'' TAGS AND COLORS
ON POLICE CARS TO BE REMOVED
Plain Clothes Men to Have Plain Autos to Prevent
Motorists and Others From Identifying Them.

Motorists who ease up on the gas
when the find they are being trailed
by blue car with "P" or "A" let
tered tag, will have to be more careful
in the future, because the "P" tags on
police cars already have disappeared
and the familiar blue tones will dis
appear in time.
The policy in the department from
now on, when an automobile is re-
placed, is to get one in stock colors.
It makes no difference what tints the
auto industry may bring into fashion.
Be they mauve, or even pistachio, the
department will take them "as Is"
The policy under Brig. Gen. Pelham
D. Glassford was to have all of the
rolling stock, cars and motor cycles,
painted a distinctive light blue, and
for years all police cars have carried
Evening star., 1933-02-08

"A" lettered tags. This year Traffic
Director William A. Van Duzer set
aside a series of "P" lettered tags for
the department, in addition to several
"a" tags.
But Maj. Ernest w. Brown, Gen.
Glassford's successor, believes that at
least for certain types of work, this
policy is unwise, as it tips off intended
police victims too easily. So all the
tags have been changed. Most of the
cars would have been repainted, too, but
that is an expensive proposition and
there is no money for it.
Maj. Brown has decided that future
purchases will all be of stock colors,
until at least the plain-clothes men have
"plain-clothes" cars to ride in. Probably
the radio cars at the precincts will re-
main blue, since they carry uniformed
men.

HAVANA TOBACCO
 POUNDACE HEAVY
Higher Production of Seed Nets 200 Pounds More
 to Each Acre

Windsor. Sept 2s.--Higher pro- duction' of Havana Seed tobacco for the same expenditure in land, fertilizer, and labor, and with no sacrifice of quality, has been ob- tained with a new strain Of this variety. pr Paul J. Anderson. in charge of the tobacco substation of the Connecticut Agricultural Ex. pertinent Station, said today that the new strain had been tested for three years on the station farm, and had yielded 200 more pounds to the acre than the strain com-
 The quality is at least equally a, l good as any other strain of Havana Seed. The new strain has no lea1 aracteristics by which the dealer can distinguish 1t from the com monly grown strains.
 The improved strain was devei. oped for black rootrot resistance by C. v. Kightlinger of the United states department of agriculture Dr Anderson explained that be. cause of the present knowledge o1 lining, black rootrot is not the problem in tho Connecticut Valley that 1t used to be, but that this disease is present more or less in every field. A strain of Havana seed immune to black rootrot would therefore be more ,produc. | tive.
 Three main varieties have been grown in Connecticut unchanged for many years, Broadleaf, Havana Seed and Shade. The average yield of Havana Seed in Connecticut is 1,400 to 1.500 pounds to the acre The substation farm ordinarily ob. tains 1,700 to 1900 pounds, but the new strain produces 2,000 to .2,200 A Massac chusetts farmer planted his whole farm with 1t this sum. mer. Seed is abailable in small l quantities.

FORTY-FTVE YEAR
 RULE IN SHOPS
Frank P. Dance and Others Bring it to Public
 Notice

On september I, Frank F. Dance and others of this city forwarded communication to the secretary of labor, calling attention to the forty.ve years of age rule in the factories of Waterbury, and asking that. the matter be investigated. It stated that 65 per cent of the common laborers are over .45 years of age and that if this order ia continued 1t is bound to work 6 great hardship to society.
 MT Dance has received & reply, of which the following Is q copy: MT Frank P. Dance
 Waterbury, Connnecticut
 Dear Sir:
 Your petition dated September {, 1888 addressed to the secretary of labor requesting an investiga- bury manufacturing plants be- against elderly workers, has been referred to this bureau for atten- ton.
 The position of the older worker in industry, particularly during this period of depression, Is a serious problem facing labor today which has not as yet been solved. Studies are being made. however, and it is hoped that some system will be esta blished which will remedy the situation. It seems to be 6 question for the individual states to handle, as there is no federal law placing such authority in the federal de- partment of labor.
 In 1880 an attempt was made by the Pennsylvania department of labor to enlist the aid of employers in refusing to bar mon from em- ployment on account of age. This survey revealed the fact that many firms never set an age limit in op- eration and that employment was based solely on physical and men, tai conoditions. The report of this campaign was published in the Monthly Labor Review for Decen- Der 1928, page 93, an and forwarding you q copy of this pub iication as believe you will find 1t of interest.
 As the authority for an investi- gation of this nature rests with the state, rather than the federal government. l suggest that you communicate with the state depart ment of labor. state office building, Hartford, Conn.
 < Very truly yours,
 ISADOR LUBIN,
 Com missioner of labor statistics.

Con,modityPrices To
 Be Bolstered Shortly
Expansion of Roosevelt Credit Program Seen in Ong
 Loan to Railroads to Buy Rails Likely

pared to say although 1t was felt in well-informed quarters that they would be in connection with the administration's effort to bolster commodity prices.
 Mir Roosevelt was contemplating loan from the public works funds to enable railroads to buy not only 700, 900 tons of new steel rails but also other needed equipment. The loan, 1t was believed, would de- pend on the steel companies re- ducing the price of rails below $40 ton, in line with White House suggestions made several days ago.
 Such an advance of funds, which would total, 1t was estimated, in the neighborhool of $20,000, 900, would be in the nature of extending the federal credit expansion pro- gram to the nations heavy in- dustries in an attempt to stimulate trade and increase buying power. At the same time, friends of Mir Roosevelt were emphatic in dis missing repeated stories of an im- minent and radical monetary in fiation program was just so much talk.
 Advisers said MT Roosevelt was working with Secretary of the Treasury Woodin on Q program to release as soon as possible at least soc of the many millions in frozen assets tied up in solvent. but closed banks.
 The steps to be taken have no yet been formulated although Il was admitted that they probbal, would embrace proposals for com. munity aid to banks, coupled witt the pledge of assistance. where necessary, from the reconstruction finance corporation.
 International matters occupied the attention of the president or his final 1888 visit to the summer White House. It was understood ht was keeping a close watch on tho Cuban political situation through state department channels.
