REACT AS
 DO ALL HUMANS

New York, Sept 6-(UP)-Yale scientists claim apes react to sight or sound as quickly as human children.
 Their conclusion reached through a series of simple tests, were de- tailed in a report submitted to the American Psychological associa- tion.
 Four of 40 chimpanzes bred at Yale since 1925 and two children privided by members of the facul- ty were used in experiments con- ducted by Milton Forester, Ken meth W. Spence and Theodore A. Jockson.
 Forster, conducted tests measur- ing the time required for a young chimpanzee and for a child to respond to spectacle, a contact or a sound, concluded that the ape reaction times do not vary sig nificantly nor consistently from those of human children"

Democratic Harmony h Naming or Ticket
Disputes Arguments Buried in Order to Put Up Strong Slate to Meet Opponents
BY WILLIAM J. MORIARTY Democrat Staff Writer)

Eastern Point, Groton, Conn, September 6-Former Mayor Will liam T. Thoms of Waterbury, who was in a receptive mood for the democratic gubernatorial nomina- ton in the event that Governor Wilbur L. Cross walked out of the convention in protest at the nam- ing of State Senator Joseph P. Cooney of Hartford for the post of comptroller, today stated that he was very pleased that the troubles had been ironed out in closed ses- sions, thereby eliminating all chances of a fight in the floor of the convention.
 Shortly before noon the ticket to be presented to the convention was approved and Mayor Frank Hayes of Waterbury agreed to run for lieutenant governor. Senator Coo ney withdrew formally from the race for the nomination for comp troller. This latter withdrawal solved the question.
 Maloney Also in Threat
 Early this morning information was to the effect that if Governor Cross withdrew Congressman Ma loney would do the same thing.
 The ticket set up this morning was the result of all night dicker- ing between various leaders, most of whom were up the entire night sitting in on various conferences.
 Senator Cooney about whom the impasse hung was one of the three democratic senators of the 1888 legislative session who lined up with the republicans to break the control of the senate and to enable the republicans to name judges and county commits sioners.
 Mayor Hayes Consents
 Mayor Hayes was reluctant to go on the ticket up to an early hour this morning. However at confer ences resumed shortly after 8:30 tins morning the Waterbury man agreed to go on the ticket. Its makeup was then held up until Senator Cooney formally withdrew his candidacy for comptroller just before II o'clock.

Francis '. MaIoney Made Ringing Speech
Gave Strong Defense of the Roosevelt Administration and New Deal-Referred in Strong Words to
 the Hours of LabOring Men

Eastern Point, Conn.,, Sept. G. (UP)-Congressman Francis T. Maloney today accepted the nom- for the U. s. senate with ringing tration and the new deal.
 However, he warned that work can only be provided by regulation of working hours-a shorter work ing day and week-and that lat temps at regulation up to now have been in the right direction, btu too complicated and in many instances unfair"
 Tt is futile," he said. "to esta- blish 40-hour code for an in- dustry that has worke donly 30 hours week for four years. That procedure corrects the sweatshop evil, but 1t does ont go far enough to keep up with the inventive gen. jus that forced millions of men out of work. The proper way is a governmental regulation that will curtail working hours so that the right to earn living will be dis tributed over the tntire field of those who want to work. This will bring relief not only to labor. But also to those for whom they la- Dor, and to every kind of busi- ness"
 Increased wages, he said, would be beneficial flor people are will ing to pay prices that permit profit, If given some assurance of the necessary income. say again, America has never been prosper. ous when compelled to give away it's produce and its products"
 He assailed the contention of many leaders that the situation will adjust itself naturally.
