Grape GroWers
Hold Meeting

Pyrethrum spray was recon-
mended last night for vineyards in
tested with leaf hopper by Stuart
Lockwood, associate entimologist of
the state department of agriculture,
who met with grape growers in the
agricultural commissioners office at
the court house.
An experimental plot is being set
off where methods of spraying will
be examined, there being some dan
ger of burning if pyrethrum is used
in too large quantities when temper
atureS are high.
Growers present all expressed
their willingness to try spraying and
results are anticipated. B. A. Harri-
gan, agricultural commissioner
states that leaf hopper infestationS
are worse this year than ever before
in all parts of the state.

WASHINGTON, March IL. -
The silver issue today crowded out
all other congressional controVer-
sizes with. the administration and
threatened to result in house pas
sage of legislation which may be
thunderboii to Secretary of Treas
ury Henry Morgenthau's effort to
give the White House free hand
in monetary problems for the next
year.
Personalities figured tremendously
in the question with Henry T..

on silver remonetization by giving
right of way Monday to two silver
bills which have been repudiated by
Morgenthau.
Il don't care how Morgenttau
feels" said Rainey as he went
ahead with his plan.
Ee and other silver bloc leaders
denounced Morgenthau bitterly for
suggesting that silver had no part
IN efforts to increase commodity
prices, and that silver advocates
were mot disintereSted' in silver
legislation.
The implication that Morgenthau
felt some advocates of silver were
interested in the silver market
irked house silver bloc members to
the extent that several were pre-
pairing statements asking for Nor

A furious fight faced the house
as the challenge developed. Nor
gentkau asked members of the
house coinage committee Friday to
ignore silver proposals.

Securities Division
 Gives Public Warning
Urges Extreme Caution in Dealing With Strangers; Tipster Sheet Complaints Filed With State Officials

During the past two years nu- merous complaints have been filed with the Securities Division of the Connecticut Banking Department relative to ''tipster sheets" so called, and the methods by which they operate. As a. result and, be- cause of recent activities, Clarence H. Adams, director of the division, has seen fit to urge caution and careful Investigation of such prop ositions before investing in them. Mir Adams says: j ,.
 This warning is especially ap- plicable to residents of this state who have been solicitated to Apur- chase stocks by so-called financial organizations which operate from outside the state and. mail out fi-; nancial newspapers, and services or advice pertaining to securities, fol- lowed by special delivery letters, long-worded telegrams- and long, distance telephone calls by high pressure stocks who predict or guarantee rapidly increasing prices in certain stocks they urge the public to buy.

.'The Age of Innocence, Edith Wharton's famous novel, starring Irene Dunne and John BOles to- gether for the first time since Back Street., comes to the State screen tomorrow headlining an- other deluxe doube feature pro- gram. In the supporting cast are Lional Atwill, Julie Hayden and Laura Hope Carewes.
 The Age of Innocence" pre- sents Miss Dunne as Ellen, the Countess ,Olenska, who returns to her intaiye New York in the wake of rumors that she is to. divorce her absolute. husband. Boles por- trays Newland Archer, scion of a socially prominent family, who Is engaged to marry Ellen's cousin, May Welland, enacted by Julie Haydon. Kindred spirits in taste, Archer and Ellen come to love each other deeply, and they rebel against the narrow viewpoint and ths snug, appearances-worshi fetish of their times. ts
 When first published in book form, The Age of Innocence" was generally hailed as the most poig- nant love story love story of it's period, and the current picture is said to retain and intensity all of the charm of the novel, and of the stage play of the same name by Margaret Aver, Barnes.
 The companion feature will be Wake !. Up and Dream" starring Russ Columbo. This is the last pie ture he made prior to his acciden- tai death in Hollywood. He shares honors with Roger Pryor, for years one of the outstanding per- formers of the New York stage, and June Knight. the sprightliest warbler who ever graced a Zieg- field show. Columbo is heard in Too Beautiful' and several other numbers of the type that made him famous, and the fast-talking Pryor is a perennial "fixer'' whose schemes always seem to go wrong. The. two men with Mss vaudeville. trio stranded in Atlan- tic City, who finally gravitate to Hollywood, and their, adventures form a swift succession of hilari- ous situations. Henry Armetta, Catherine Doucet, Andy Devine, Wini Shaw, Richard Carle ans other faybrites add to the film.

Who's Worrying? Not Our Chief

Despite the recent reports of changes in the police depart- inent from the top down, the man most unwOrried and nn- , rufTlcd amidst it all Is the man most directly concerned, Police Superintendent Joseph Me-, Lcali.. The superintendent feels, as apparently does most of Waterbury, that his post is secure and that he will remain on duty just as long as he de. Sires. ts .
 The superintendent, 1t is un- dcrstOOd, has been treasured in high official quarters that his supcrintendency will be his for as many years as he wishes to hold 1t, and that no changes are contemplated in the de. pertinent as far as the top z ranking post is concerned. Hence the chief is still at his desk, not at all worried about reports and ramOrs. v
 The general opinion in DO. litical circles now is that no efforts will be made to Oust Superintendent Mclean, for it Is felt that the public's support is behind the present office- holder. The superlntendent's many and influential friend- ships were never more clearly proven as far as their worth is concerned than when the re. ports of his retirement first were rife. On all sides, the SUI. perintendent was promised all the backing and support that he wanted.
 Tine police department, it. self, which is naturally yitally concerned with any possible . changes, is definitely behind Superintendent Mclean. Even men who feel they would be advanced were there a vacancy at the top of the ranking list are not at an hesitant in back. ing the chief openly. Hence the prevailing belief that Stu. perintendent Mclean need : have no worries about his re. tirement.
