Defending the National Recovery Act and claiming that industrial conditions in Connecticut have been greatly improved within the past year. William s. Meany, state administrator of the MIRA. cited statistics yesterday to establish his point. Appearing at the third free summer school of government Tn Hartford, Director Meaney deciar- ed:
 Industrial employment in Con- necticut in June of 1894 as com pared with employment in June or 1933, has increased more than 70 1-3 per cent, and man hours Tn industry for the same period have increased more than 40 per cent
 Although he stated that per haps 1t would not be fair for the NRA to claim credit for all of this increase" he asserted that there is no fairminded man who will doubt that the MIRA was to a large extent instrumental in bringing about these very satisfactory changes in industrial employment in Connecticut within the last year."
 AssaiIs MIRA Critics
 Referring to criticism made or the MIRA by various concerns. the state administrator said that he did not know of any industry that

MRS PICCARD PLANS FLIGHT

Akron, Ohio - (UP) - Mrs Jean Piccard, mother o 1.-two chill dren and sister-in-law of famed stratophere ballonist, Professor August Piccard, hopes next month oscar into the air higher than any woman in history.
 Arriving here with her husband. Mrs Piccard spoke of flying among the cosmic rays some 50,000 feet overhead in the same matter-of- fact way that the average house. wife might talk of washing her dinner dishes.
 Everything is ready" she said, "except sponsorship for our flight. The balloon we are to use in our ascension Is one used in the bal- loon races last year. There are a few minor. changes to be made in gondola construction"
 The Piccards hope to make the hop, from Detroit, sometime dur ing August.
 q find ballooning much more exciting than flying in an air. plane" Mrs Piccard smiled. "We won't attempt to set any new alti- tude records. My brother-in-law, August, flew high enough two years ago in Europe to take care of any family ambitions. We just want to obtain scientific data about cosmic rays"
 Mrs Piccard, who finished her practical ballonist examination recently, said she expects to re- ceive her license before the flight and as soon as she can make ar- arrangements to take the theoretical examination.

OHIO HAS SEA
 SERPENT SCARE
Mysterious Varnints Re- turn to Lake Erie
 Allege Fathers

Cleveland - CUP = After two years of calmness following the Sandusky sea serpent "scare," mys- treious varmints have returned to Lake Erie.
 A Sea serpent" 20 feet long and with a head as large as dogs, was reported off the popular Edge water bathing beach on a Monday after busy week-end's swimming and lolling.
 Ben A. Schwartz saw the "ser- pent" and would verify his story. 'I'm not trying to tell a fish story, said Schwartz. "We saw this thing swimming toward shore and thought at first it was a dog. Then 1t turned around and we got a good look at it. It was some kind of water snake."
 Schwartz affirmed the monstros- ity swan about near the beach for 15 minutes, then headed toward deeper water.
 Parks Director August Kurdziel said he would have the beach in- spected by life guards. Cleveland Museum of Natural History officials said the snake might have been a rock python that had escaped from captivity somewhere, but pointed out that snakes of that size are not native to Lake Erie.

 They had been married almost two years.
 Sybil was a perfect home-maker. She adored their apartment with an almost passionate affection. It had astounded Godfrey that a woman could find such absorbing delight within four walls.
 Life had been perfect for eigh- teen months. Then, suddenly and inexplicably, he had begun to chafe. When he came home at night he felt stifiled. restless; he was being slowly buried in flow. CTS, cushions, good food.
 He said nothing to Sybil--only a lunatic would complain of per- lection! But his irritation grew, badly suppressed. Sybil bewilder- ment in her blue eyes, went about more delicately than ever. redoub- ling her gentle ministrations.
 Now he had chance to get away from the apartment, to breathe a different air!

 Think of 1t, Sybil! Escape!" Like great schoolboy he picked up one of her lavender cushions and flung 1t across the room. She winced. Escape from stiffness! From monotony! All this--!"
 "Geoffrey!"
 Suddenly conscious of her wid- ened eyes and fiuttering hands, he forced himself to calm down. Sweeping the cushions aside, he drew her beside him on he settee. Then, ecstatically, he poured 1t all out. his eyes on her face.
 But the response he had hoped for, did not materialize. With little cry, Sybil shrank away from him into the cushions.
 "The Amazon! Will there be- danger?"
 "Of course not, sweet! Not real danger--no more than crossing Times Square. It won't he like this-but think of the fun!"

He spoke of a questionnaire sent out by the New England council, showing that of $50 New England manufacturers. operating under 125 codes and em- ploying more than 240,000 work CTS, A per cent said their codes had been generally helpful and only 8 per cent hurtful in eliminat- ing unfair competitive practices and in reducing and relieving un- employment.
 Asked whether they regarded some form of business code perma- nently desirable or essential. either with or without government sanc- tion and supervision, S22 manufac- turers responded and 80 per cent answered the question affirmative ly, and only 20 per cent said that they did not want a code of any kind.
 MT Meany stated that nothing could be farther from the truth than saying that the MIRA is foster ing monopolies and Is crushing the smaller business man. Far from expressing the little fellow. the records of the MIRA show that 1t has not only halted this tendency in its tracks. but has squarely re- versed.
