For more than an hour yesterday the
District Commissioners sat as judges in
a debate over fish. the participants
including four members Of Congress
on one hand and a spokesman for the
Board of Trade on the other. as well
as spokesmen for retail fish mer-
chants who are opposed to boatmen.
When arguments were concluded,
Commissioner Hazen rubbed his fore
head as though suffering from head
ache, and decision In the problem was
not announced Immediately.
The stories told by the opposing
factions developed that the issue is
whether boatmen who now sell fish at
the fish wharves. both retail and
wholesale, should be required to sell
their products through local commits
sion agents. The hearing before the
Commissioners was an outgroWth OF
the recurring contest between the boat
men and the retail merchants at the
fish wharf, the battle having been
carried on at sporadic periods for a
number of years.
The congressional delegation at the
debate included Representatives Palmi-
sano, Goldsborough and Kennedy, all
of Maryland, and Representative Bland
of Virginia. They argued that the
boatmen should not be deprived Of
their present right to sell fish and
other products directly to the public.

HAVANA, May 19.-Overcome by
the huge demonstration greeting his
return to Cuba yesterday, ex-President
Ramon Grau San Martin tainted as
he entered his home here and was
carried PROSTATE to his bed room.
Apparently the ex-President had
been unable to stand the vigorous

who were waiting to meet him when
he got Off the boat this morning.
Many Of them patted him on the
back and shook his hand along the

Although orderly at all times, the
crowd was unable to control its emo

forced to leave the presidency last
January and has now returned from

His ship, the Sierra Ventana, en-

Dozens of small boats circled the

BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

The Soviet government intends to
create another Office. attached to its
embassy in Washington, that Of
cultural attache." whose role will be
to stimulate cultural rapprochement
between the peoples of the United
States and the Soviet republic.
While the plan has not been laid
officially before the State Department.
Boris Skvirsky, the counsellor of the
embassy, made it known Thursday
at the meeting of the Soviet Ameri-
can Institute in New York and has
the whole hearted backing of many
leading American cultural institutions
as we'll as many American scientists.
The guiding idea is this: All en-
bassies and legations in the world
have military, naval and air attaches
These men fulfill an important task
by keeping their countries informed OF
the latest military. naval and air de-
velopments. and the interchange OF
this kind of information is useful to
the national defense Of each country.
Progress Hindered.
But hitherto nobody has bothered
to establish bureau for the official
interchange of information regarding
the educational and the cultural de-
velopments in the various countries.
These were interchanged usually by
the means of publications and by the
individual efforts of various societies
and scientists. The governments
themselves were, however. very seldom
in a position to answer any question

SPECIAL CLASSES

Rehabilitation Work Under

Through June 20.

Continuation of the nursery, adult
education and the rehabilitation
classes under the Emergency Works
Administration until the end of the
public school term June 20 was de-
cided upon late yesterday by the
Work Planning Committee of the
District E. w. A.
The future of the special classes
after that date will be determined
later, 1t was announced by Capt.
Howard F. Clark. executive officer of
the local E. w. A.
Eighty-five persons are employed
in the conduct of the special courses,
IS of whom are teachers and the
remainder housekeepers for the nur-
sery classes
Heretofore the classes have been
financed out of funds especially al
lotted for the purpose by the Federal
Emergency Relief Administration.
This special fund was exhausted May
Is. Until June 20 the courses will
be carried under the Districts general
relief grants.
Thirty-two teachers are employed
for the nursery classes, 35 for the
adult education programs and 8

on the cultural developments in vari-
GUS countries.
The new Office of q cultural at
tache" will fill this gap. 1t will keep
the Soviet government posted about
the latest cultural developments in
the United States. the schooling sys-
tenn. the latest inventions. the surveys
made by the different American
official and private bureaus and will
also afford the interested American
institutions all available information
about the progress of science and
arts in the Soviet Republics.
1t will facilitate the interchange of
lecturers and educators, and in the
same manner American officers are
invited to witness the maneuvers of
the Russian Army and Navy. edu-
Gators, scientists and students will be
invited to attend courses and lectures
in Russia.
There is no reason to believe that
the State Department will not con-
slider sympathetically the establish
ment of such an Office, and the Rus
slams think that it may lead to a
new move among nations to know
and understand each other better.

Over two weeks ago the, food distribution to the veterans was cut off. Later last week the coal was cut off = all this despite the fact that the present weather here isi the worst in the history of the goth century.
 Today's telegram, notifying Ad- ministrator Harris that 885 bags of oranges are on the way, caused many persons to snicker. Coal and good substantial food, it was declared, are needed more than oranges. The needy persons, it was declared by many, cannot eat oranges and keep warm while the coal and bags of food. such as flour and the like, would fill the bill adequately.
 Much embarrassment was ex- perienced here today by the local CWA office because of the report circulated that D. F. Armstrong had stated at Hartford that sup plies of food were coming through for veterans. There is no food for the veterans and the Armstrong rumor is entirely unfounded. The food supply and the fuel for the veterans are now out of the ques- ton. Efforts are being made to have the FRA and CWA officials at Washington change their atti- tude towards the chilled and snoWed-in northern states.

Old Fashioned German Supper to Be Observed

One of the largest attendances of the year is expected to be recorded Thursday night when the Water bury lodge of Elks observes its an puaI old Timers and Past Exalted Rulers night. The entertainment committee headed by Dr George A. Leonard, chairman. has ar ranged for the serving of an old fashioned German supper of frank furters und sauerkraut.
 Of course beer, and plenty of It. will be part of the menu. for how could it be a German supper with out the good old ale and lager, with foamy heads running down the glasses sides.
 That is one night in the year on which the older. members of the lodge always make an effort to be present. They like the enter tainment and they like to mix with their friends. Many of the past exalted rulers will be present also.
 The entertainment committee has made arrangements for the en- gagement of Joe Laviano and ms Universal old Timers. This group has been heard on the radio and plays modern music as well as the ola time popular jigs, reels, quad rifles and lancers. Joe has made one or two trips to the club and made quite reputation for him. self as Francis Feeley, John Null yille, Peter Gilligan or Bill Cavan- augh will attest. Lieutenant Will liam r.

State Weathermen
 Off For Washington
Official Recognition for Connecticut as One Whose
 Weather Is Battling to Be Sought By Delegates

For more than four years the Connecticut chamber of commerce has been studying the possibility of securing for this state such i'm proved weather forecasts as would enable farmers, contractors, and other out-of door workers to plan their operations more efficiently and avoid serious storm damage; stimulate weekend travel and touring during favorable weather; and make it possible for merchants to coordinate their advertising and selling plans with actual weather conditions. During those four years, the meteorOlical service
 rendered aviation has made tre- mendous strides and it now ap- pears that something equivalent may be possible for other special ized activities. The state chamber
 activity at this particular time was
 stimulated by the recent appoint
 ment of Willis R. Gregg as the new
 chief of the U. s. weather bureau.
 The governors delegation has ar-
 ranged for special conference
 with Chief Gregg and will discuss
 with him various phases of the
 many problems arising from the
 frequent and abrupt changes in

Hartford, Feb. 27.-Official rec ognition for Connecticut, as the one state whose weather most often baffles the fOrecasters, will be sought in Washington this week by special delegation commissioned by Governor Wilbur l.. Cross for that purpose. This delegation con sists of Olcott F. King of South Windsor, commissioner of agricul- ture; Judge Frederick P. Latimer of West Hartford, editorial writer for. the Hartford Times and for merly of the II. s. weather bureau: and Christopher M.

 A most practical recommenda- tion in such plan is that the prac- tice flying by the U. $. army and navy pilots be synchronized with the ground and balloon observa- lions taken by the weather bureau stations so that the physical char uclcf OL tHc UT iHhSScS PANSa"S across the country. generally from west to cast. may he known In de- tail to u height of from two to three miles.
