Young Woman Hurled From Bus To Death
tcontinued from Page |,

on the Hartford Providence leg of
 It's Journey at the time of the acei-
 dent.
 While moving along Hartford
 avenue, a mile west of the Provi-
 dence line, the ous encountered ice under a blanket of snow on Ochee Hill and suddenly went into
 skid. It veered sharply, side swiped an automobile, and crashed against a pole with such terrific force that the driver, in trying to straighten 1t out, tore out the en- tire left side of his vehicle. Drowsy passengers were tossed
 from their seats and crushed, cut and bruised by the wreckage and by shattered glass.
 Indications were that the uniden-
 tified young woman, one of several l occupants thrown entirely clear of the wreckage, met instant death. Screams of the injured brought a handful of residents from the sparsely settled neighborhood, and they cooperated with passing mo-
 torfsts in extricating the victims
 and administering first-aid. state l police were summoned and they,
 in turn, called two ambulances,
 which sped over the seven miles of
 highway from the center of Prov
 idence. Some of those hurt were taken to the hosuita1 in private l cars before the ambulances ar rived.
 None of the names were put on the danger list.
 ] The hill on which the crash oc- l cured is short but fairly steep. AL
 ready heavily ice-coated, it had | been blanketed during the night by four inches of snow, adding, police
 said, to the hazard of motor | traffic.

SHORTER HOURS AND MORE WAGES
 STILL DISPUTED
Compromise of Some Kind May Result--Industrial-
 ists Not Yet Agreed

Washington, March 9 - (UP) -- The hours and wages dispute between industry and the MIRA was moving today toward Q show down in which big business prob- ably will have to choose between the Cohnery 30-hour week bill and flexible changes proposed by Re- covery Administrator Hugh S.. Johnson.
 Business is baking at the MIRA plan for a 10 per cent wage in- crease and 10 per cent work week reduction in as many industries as may be able to stand 1t. A last minute effort at compromise was made before Johnson proposed the hour wage plan before q congress Of MIRA industriaiists here.
 The United Press was informed one group of industrial leaders in- formally proposed that the plan be restricted to wage increases with out changing the average 40 hour work week. MIRA was unwilling to abandon it's hours-wages pro- gram.
 Opponents of a reduced work week argued that wage increases alone would add less to overhead and raise prices by smaller mar gin than would Q combination or reduced hours and increased wages. Industrialists generally insist that the administration plan would per- llously increase prices, thereby re- ducing the volume of business be- cause goods would be out of reach of the consumer.
 It is argued that there is an acute shortage of skilled labor to manip- ulate q variety of machines used in Under such con- ditions, the industrialists assert, 1t would be impossible to find addi- tiona1 skilled workers to take the jobs winch normally would be ere ated by shortening the work week. It would become necessary to work available skilled employees overtime and to pay them time and one-half, or whatever penalty might be es- to enforce the proposed 36-hour average work week. Over time payment would tremendously increase overhead and prices. tho argument continues. They would rather merely increase the basic wage rate if some change must be made.
 Gerard Swope, head of the Gen. eraI Electric Company, and chair man of the Business Advisory Council appointed by Secretary of Commerce Daniel c. Roper, toid the United Press the concensus or the council is against reduced hours.

 purpose of ordering resumption of pledge collections to the Mutual Aid and to approve the launching Of q drive for new pledges which will become effective when the present pledges expire on May 1st. The need for resumption of the Mutual Aid collections is necessary due to the fact that the CWA forces are now being cut weekly. Last week 200 were dropped from the local CWA roll and yesterdays slash of 186 was ordered in accord arice with directions from Wash 7ngton.
 Today Mayor Frank Hayes and Administrator Harris signed n let ter, to be forwarded to Hartford. asking that about 100 men be put on the traffic survey job about to the 100 selected from men laid off during this week and last. It was originally understood that the work would go entirely to veterans but Administrator Harris said this morning that he now understands that the work may be given to any body recommended by tho various CWA branch offices throughout Connecticut.
 The entire local CWA forces will be back on the job on Monday. Most of the men laid off on Tues day when they completed their 24- hour week. They had put in ex- Ira time due to snow shoveling ac- tivities. They have performed none of this work this week, there fore, they will get off to an even start on Monday once more.

on the other hand, 1t was pointed out by the committee, the voters were confused on the prohibition referendum vote and were being aided in how to cast their ballots on this question.
 The allegations of conspiracy were entirely thrown out by the committee.
 The report of the committee was placed on the calendar yesterday afternoon. It will be voted on by the entire house within q day or two. It may be taken from the cal- endar at any time. The committee stood 8 to l in favor of Goss. There is the possibility of a minority re- port being filed by Congressman Newbitt, democrat. of Illinois, q member of the committee, who did not sign the report filed yesterday.
 If he files the report he will have the right to ask for q roll call vote on the floor of the house on the question of accepting the majority report. Congressman GaVagan, democrat, of New York, who was chairman of the committee which heard the arguments, was among those signing the majority report.

 The brothers--Irving and Mur- ton--were recently taken to MaSsa- chrsetts to face a murder charge.
 "such fellows" the count said resentfully, "should not be allowed the hospitality of so splendid a jail. It is outrageous"
 As for the other prisoners, he found from conversations with them that they are all innocent" So impressed was he with the hon- esty of Goo Gong, Chinese inmate, who is Kidnapping suspect, that the count said he was seriously considering making him his valet.
 DO you plan to return to jail? he was asked.

 Count Vasco's difficulties with the law began one night last spring when he encountered Q neighbor, 1sador Green, in the lobby of his Riverside drive apartment house. Green was leading Mrs Greens pet chow, Lord von Dick. The dog made what the count considered a threatening move, and with the instinct of the big game hunter, he drew his pistol and killed it.

sion today began issuing licenses to druggists in compliance with a ruling of the state supreme court.
 The demand for permits was great inasmuch as drug stores will be the only places where liquor in quantities less than one quart will be obtainable. Package stores are restricted to quarts and "fifths."
 The state pharmacy commission has ruled a half-pint the smallest quantity which may be sold and today called attention to a recent ruling that drug stores must con- fine sales between the hours of 8 a. m., and Il D. Tn., and not at all on Sundays or election days.
 There are now about 200 appll- cations on file at the offices of the commission and several hundred more are expected to be received. All must have approval of the pharmacy commission before be- ing submitted to the control board.

 Crash Tn West
 Burton, Ohio, March 3 - (UP) Lieutenant Otto Weinecke, Army mail flyer, was instantly killed early today when his plane crashed in a cornfeld three miles northwest of here.
 Lieutenant Weinecke was en- route from Newark, N. J., to Cleve- land and lost his way in a snow- storm. He was approximately 50 miles off his course.
 The wrecked plane was dlscov- cred after report of the crash had been relayed to county author lties by John Hess, tenant on the farm where the crash occurred. The plane was demolished but did not catch fire.
 Hess said he was preparing to
 
 roar of plane motor.
 Rushing outside he saw the dim outlines of ship cruising throus h the binding snow. As he watched it swooped low over the cornfeld and suddenly nose-dived, burying it's nose deep in the soft earth.
 He found the pilots battered body in the wreckage of fuselage. The bags of mail appeared intact, he said.
 First reports of the tragedy were received at Cleveland Airport as Army officials were beginning T search for the flyer. He had left Newark late last night and was duo to have arrived in Cleveland at 1:30 q. m.
 It was the third airnail fatality in Ohio since the Army took over that branch of the postal service less than q month ago.
 Lieutenant Weinecke was more than four hours overdue at Cleve- land airport when the crash oc- cured.

Matter Of Principle
 Say Local Druggists
NO Rush For Liquor Permits Anticipated in This City;
 Will Live Up to Board Ruling

Notwithstanding the decision of fiae supreme court of errors revers- ing the opinion of the state liquor law and the great rush of appli- eants for druggists permits to re- tail liquor, the victory was for some members of the local pharmacists just a vindication of a principle. Of the 47 licensed druggists in this city it ig not expected that more than thirty will apply for the spe- cIal permits. They will continue, however, to sch in compliance with the medical prescription require ment.
 The Waterbury Druggists asso- ciation was 100 per cent opposed to the rule of the liquor board and supported the efforts of the state association in it's fight. Now that 1t has been established that drug stores are not in the same category as package stores, many local pliarmacIsts are willing to let the matter fade out of their mental picture.
 President William J. Dunphy of the local association stated today that all local druggists will live up to their promise to the state pharmacy board and will not sell liquor on Sundays, election day or any special holidays as originally agreed.
 A meeting of the local associa- ton will be held next Monday aft ernoon in the Chamber of Com n1erce building at which time plans will be completed for the dinner meeting scheduled for two weeks ago, but postponed because of weather conditions. Members of the Waterbury Medical association will be the guests of the druggists on that occasion.
 At the coming meeting plans will also be discussed for the future welfare of the local association.

WESPORT ART COLONY IS VERY
 MUCH EXCITED
Civil Works Administra- tor Renders Decision
 That is Not Pleasing

New York, Mar 9-(UP)-The civil works administrators chief
 representative in the art colony at Westport, Conn.,, invoked rule | outlawing cubism, futurism, and l virtually all forms of modernism, | and today precipltated another vio- lent outburst from the brush wield- CTS of Greenwich Village. "Preposterous! unbelievable! con-
 servative idiocyw
 Thus the New York artists gave | answer to Sanford Evans, chairman of the CWA art committee in Westport. who made the ruling. Evans also promulgated another l rule which New York artists view ed with something akin to horror. A needy artist in Westport, under the rule might start work on a painting and receive some money ] from CWA before he finished his work. Then, let us say, along comes another artist who needs govern- ment money. The unfinished canvas of artist No 1 would be turned over to artist No for completion.
 John Sloan, president of the So- ciety of Independent artists and one of tho country's leading modernists, called the ruling on modernism sheer conservatice idiocy."
 Tt is idiocy," he said, ''and 1t is preposterous for a man in Evans position to take advantage of his position and try to jam his own art ideas down the throats of oth- CT artists.
 "As for the proposition of hav- ing one artist finish another's work, that method likewise is wholly wrong in this case. Tn some large public art works 1t is all right to have several artists put to work on the project. A mural painter, adorning a wall, likewise is entitled to have his assistant. But on an ordinary painting, such method is ridiculous"
 Walter Pach, who is both artist and writer and whose work has been given international exhib- itiOns, declared that Evans is not competent to rule on matters of art.
 At the Metropolitan museum" Pach said, "the vice. president for many years was Joseph H. Choate, one of our leading citizens. In his many years of service to the muse- um he never missed @ meeting. And he never cast a vote on any matter of artistic policy. He was versed in statesmanship, in finance and in the law. And he held that his position on the museum board was that of representing states manship, finance and the law, and that it was not within his province to vote on art policy.
 This same idea rules Evans out in Connecticut. He is grossly and
 in tolerably exceeding his privileges tlons.'
