Commercial car owners must re- port the correct light weight for their vehicles when seeking 1885 registrations or else invite dis ciplinary action by the state de. partment of motor vehicles. Com missioner Michael A. Connor said yesterday that road inspectors have developed many discrepancies in ported lightweights. He added that it might become necessary for the department to demand sworn statements regarding the figures, or insist on a certificate from a pub lie weigher. The practice on the part of some truck owners is mis- informing the motor vehicle. de- partment regarding the light weight of their trucks has extend- ed back over some years. The commissioner has succeeded, in many cases, in securing restitu- tional payments from such offend CTS under threat of court action. Commercial car owners report ing heavier light weights for their vehicles than is actually the case succeed in getting lower registra- tion costs, as the state estimates the fee according to the carrying capa city of the truck. There is an established gross weight for every truck model. reported to the state motor vehicle department by the truck manufacturers. The differ ence between the light weight and which is taxed.
 Motor vehicle inspectors on the road have weighed trucks and found wide discrepancies between the actual light weight of the truck and the figure given on the registration application. When ap owner has several Connecticut reg istered vehicles and the practice has been continuing over somc years, the amount lost by the state in registration fees runs into many thousands of dollars, even in indi- vidual cases.
 Police authorities halt trucks now and then and weigh them to get the gross weight. When the light weight of the truck is secured at the state department of motor vehicles, the police subtract the light weight from the gross ant thus arrive at the pay load. By reporting a heavier light weight figure than is really the case, the truck owner makes it appear that a reasonable load is on the truck; where as, in mny cases, there is a ton or more that does not appear because of the untruthful state ment regarding the light weight. The owner is thus carrying extra pay poundage which is not being taxed by the state.
 Commissioner Connor is deter mined to stop the practice and has

 The local meeting is one of hun dreds being held throughout the country to promote interest in the National Congress for Unemploy- ment and Social Insurance to be held in Washington. D. C. January 5, 6. and 2. More than 300 persons interested in civic matters in their respective communities have .n- dorsed the plan. MT Davis said.
 Most of the sponsors of the move ment. he pointed out, might be classified as progressive" as far as their political sympathies were concerned.
 Practically all organizations of the city have ben invited to send delegates to the session to be held at the Central "Y'' tomorrow night. at which time it is expected delegates to the naional congress will be named, and the matter of financing tn elocal delegation dis cussed.
 Persistent rumors that the So- cialist group was directly interested in the movement were given cred ence by the announcement of t program closely resembling that to be discussed tomorrow night by officials of the state socialist organ ization recently. Their program also stresses unemployment insur- ance. an old age pension bill, am -dment to the workmen's com. pel ntion act and similar legisla- tive reforms.
 One of the members of the Wa terbury committee is George Borg his. one time candidate for con- gress on the communist ticket and well known for his participation in protest parades.

SHOOTING VICTIM WELLKNOWN HERE
Condition of Timothy J. Lyons, Jr, Watched
 With Interest

Timothy J. Lyons, Jr, 2f, who was accidentally shot end appar- ently permanently crippled in the unexpected discharge of a revolver in Torrington Saturday night, is the son of Judge Timothy Lyons of the Torrington city court, one of the promoters of the Mount Man. resa retreatant movement in this section of the state. Judge Lyons and his injured son are both well known in Waterbury while the young man who discharged the gun accidentally, William c. Kennedy. Jr, Holy Cross freshman, is known to residents of Washington Hill here.
 Young Lyons is now at Hunger ford hospital in Torrington in a critical condition. The shooting happened Saturday evening at the home of MT and Mrs Francis V. Kelley on Benham avenue, Tor rington.
 An emergency operation was performed at the Hungerford hos pital shortly afterwards which showed that Lyons spleen had been ruptured, as well as the dia- phragm, and that the lower tip of the lung had been pierced. The bull let also touched the spinal cord and finally lodged inside the right chest bone.
 The injury to the spinal cord IS feared by doctors to bring about paralysis for life. In the emergen- cy operation the spleen was re- moved and the hemorrhage was stopped. The bullet, however, was not removed until the patient shows more improvement. Sur geons wkere surprised at the stam- ina shown by Lyons in view of the seriousness of his wounds.

Seal Campaign Opens
 With Pleasing Sales
Committee Views Results as Very Encouraging Con.
 fusion in Titles Results in Statement

Results of the first day sale of seals by the local Anti-Tuberculosis league have been very encouraging according to officials at headquar- ters today. The sale was inaugu- rated last Friday and only one days receipts have been tabulated thus far.
 The phrase Red Cross Seals" is a misnomer, according to a state- ment made by William M. Harris, executive secretary of the league. The proper term is Christmas Seals" or "Tuberculosis Seals" The seal is no longer sold by the Red Cross and has not had any connection with the Red Cross since 1919. It is manufactured by the State Tuberculosis associations and sold by county and city Christ mas seal committees and health organizations.
 The seal since 1919 has borne the design of the double barred cross (the Lorraine cross) which is the official emblem of the inter- national crusade against tubercu- losis.
 Proceeds from the sale of these seals are used to carry on Anti Tuberculosis work in Waterbury and throughout the country.
 The Red Cross raises its money through the annual roll call and through special contributions in time of disaster. By agreement be- tween its national headquarters and the National Tuberculosis as- sociation, the roll call is limited to the time between Armistice day and Thanksgiving. The mail sale of the seals began the day after Thanksgiving, and the public sale in stores on December 10.
