BLUICK ESCAPES
 SERIOUS CHARGE

Coroner Dilliam Leete of Hart ford, in a finding given yesterday, finds no negligence or criminal act in the crash which resulted in the death of Mrs Mary Augustine, 52, of 69 Birch street, on the Meriden turnpike late in January. The coroner's decision absolves Stanley Blucik, 21, of 121 East Farm street, of any responsibility.
 A technical charge of reckless driving against Blucik, however, still stands and he will be given a hearing in the southington town court next month.

SPECIAL STATE
TAX BOARD MET
Gathered in Hartford to
Make Study OF Revenue
for the State

Hartford. Conn.,, Mar. 21-(UP)
"A half dozen or more suggestions
for raising additional revenue for
the state, including sales and in
come taxes, were studied by a spe-
cial state tax commission today.
The commission, delegated to study
the state tax set-up> with a view
to revision of the statutes at the
next general assembly session, held
a public hearing late yesterday.
The Connecticut league of mum
icipalities, headed by Mayor George
A. Quigley, New Britain, defended
the sales tax as a means of add
ing both to the state and municipal
incomes and relieving the burden
of the property holder. Opposi-
ton was offered by the Connecticut
Retail Merchants association. the
Connecticut Taxpayers Alliance
and the Socialist party.
The latter two organizations ad-
vocated the income tax while the
state grange supported a program
| for an income tax, an increase in
| the insurance and bank stock rate
| to 10 mills, increase in the gaso-
line tax to three cents a gallon and
reduction in motor vehicle regis
tration fees. Merchants are not
able to absorb sales tax and
strenuous opposition would result
IL the tax were passed on to the
buyer, w. G. Taylor, Bridgeport,
of the Retail Merchants group, de-
clared. He urged reduction of ex-
penses rather than imposition of
| additional taxes.

Sen. Goldstein Acting
Governor OfThe State
Office-Senators LawlOr and Hackett Pleased
To-day That Colleague Has Been Honored

Senators Joseph Law1or and
Joseph Hackett of this city, repre-
senting the 18th and 18th sena-
torial districts, both in Waterbury,
were pleased today when they
heard that their colleague, sena-
tor David Goldstein of Bridgeport,
had assumed the post of acting
governor of the state of Connecti-
cunt. Senator Go1dstein, as presi-
dent pro tenn of the state senate,
took over the executive reins to-
day and will not relinquish them
until tomorrow night due to the
fact--that9aboth- the governor and
the 1ieutenant-governe are absent
from Connecticut.
Governor Cross is now on a
western trip. Lieutenant-G Governor
Roy Wilcox has left on a short
two-day trip on business. This
makes Senator Goldstein the act
ing governor. 1t is believed the
first time in the history of Con-
necticut that member of the
Jewish faith has held this
post, hence the many remarks in
democratic ranks complimenting
the Bridgeport man.
Acting Governor Goldstein visit
ed Hartford this morning and took
over the duties of the state execu-
tive office. Many routine matters
were studied by him. He will also
study any business submitted to
him tomorrow. Senator Goldstein
is well known in Waterbury and is
highly esteemed.

HANDSOME DAN IS
NO FRANKFURTER
Autopsy Performed al
Yale Reveals Truth, But
Mascot Still Is Lost

New Haven, Conn, Mar. 21-
(UP)-An autopsy" performed on
a half dozen frankfurters received
at Yale with regards from the
Lampoon," today definitely assured
Eli undergraduates their missing
mascot, Handsome Dan II, was not
destined to meet his fate between
two slices of bread. A package
from the Harvard Lampoon ar
rived at the Yale Record office last
night and it's contents caused con-
siderable CONSERVATION until James
w. Miller, Morristown, N. j.. chair
man of the bulldog committee an
nounced results of the autopsy.
although we had grave fears
that these might be the remains
of Handsome Dan, our beloved
mascot" the report read, these
fears were allayed by the fact that
the frankfurters were obviously of
the Cambridge variety and of a
poor quality at that. We cannot
believe that although Handsome
Dan may have been imbued with
Harvard Indifference that he could
have changed so in form. The
frankfurters will be placed in alco-
hol and preserved for posterity. ,"
The Yale news announced today
that it had been informed Dan was
entrusted to the keeping of Miss
Barbara "Buzzie" Pierpont, Brook
line society girl and sister of a
Crimson undergraduate.

LABOR LEADERS
ARE JUBILANT
Detroit Unions Are Happy
Because White House

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
Detroit, Mar 21-Labor leaders,
jubilant over forcing the issue OF
automobile trade uniOnism directly
into the White House, today pre-
pared for presentation to President

plete recognition of the American
Federation of labor throughout the

The workers themselves swarmed
through the gates of Detroit's fac
tories as usual. They were working,
it was emphasized, ''as a courtesy
to the president" Only Mr. Roose-
velts appeal for delay and the prom
Use of Washington conference
turned them, at the last moment,
from walkout that would have
crippled the industry and dealt a
staggering blow to this city.
Strategically, the union chiefs be-
lieved today they held the upper
hand. The threat to withdraw
1905 men from factories not only
in this city but in Pontiac, Flint
and Lansing. had been sufficient to
bring Intervention by the WASH
ington administration.
Actually, as the executives ad-
nitted today, a more opportune
time for union action has never
presented itself in the history OF
the industry. For the first time
since 1929, the motor car factories
were running at top speed. Orders
