SNOW PLOWcAS DECISION GIVEN
Damages of $z54.66 Awarded Wife of Sheriff
 John L. Gray

Damages of $254.66 were awerded Mrs. John L.. Gray against the state of Connecticut highway department, in a decision handed down yesterday by Judge Edward J. Finn, in com- mon pleas court. The suit was brought to recover against the state for damage to the plaintiffs car which figured in collision with department snow blow.
 Former Sheriff John L. Gray, ac- cbmpanied by Former Sheriff Sam uel D. Lucas were proceeding along the Prospect road in the evening of
 Jan. g, in Sheriff Gray's wife's car. It was showing heavily. The
 two sheriffs testified the snow was swirling at the car so that visibility was poor and it was necessary to
 bring the speed of the car down to a minimum. The sheriffs said there was no tail light on the rear
 of the blow and considering the
 swirling snow kicked up by the blow
 it would place the blame of the acc
 cident upon the operator of the blow who could not be sure whether the tail-light was lit.
 Attorney John E. Monzani ap- peared for the plaintiff. Carmody
 & Thoms represented the defendant.

BY RODNEY BUTCHER Democrat washington
 CorrespOndent)

Washington, Oct. 29-That $165,- 900 fee which MT. Arthur Mullen seeks for his efforts with regard to certain PWA projects in Nebraska indicates what the big-time lobby ists have been getting away with since the New Deal began simul- ta1eously to pour out billions for recovery and to try to reform the business structure.
 No one knows how many mill lions the statesmen of influence" have collected since March, 1883. No one ever will.
 Most men close to the inside agree that the most spectacular cleanups were made in the first year of the administration, before Roosevelt recognized danger in the situation and told Mullen and oth- CTS they couldn't function both as lobbyists and Democratic national committeeman.
 But the lobbying business still flourishes.
 Mullen, a Nebraska political boss and one of Roosevelt's floor man. agers at the 1892 Democratic con- vention, has been reputed to have large influence both at the White House and with Secretary Ickes.
 No investigation will ever deter mine just how much influence he has been able to exert at either place. His influence unuueStion- ably has been exaggerated-but such congregations in Washington mean more clients and bigger fees.
 It isn't on record that any official in Washington ever refused to see Mir. Mullen, who contributes large sums regularly to the Democratic party.

A Robbie for Hull

Secretary of State Cordell Hull is our frst-ranking diplomat. But he made faux pas as a welcom- ing delegation gathered to meet President Roosevelt on his return to Washington.
 Mrs. Roosevelt, like many others that cold morning, had the sniffles. She was raising her handkerchief to her face as Hull extended his hand to greet her.
 With a quick movement she stuck her handkerchief somewhere or other and managed to shake hands, waiting to complete the op- eration later.
 Obscure persons who noticed the incident enjoyed it very much.

Rated as Ickes' "Angel"

Ickes frequently has been hard boiled toward Mullen and his de- mands. But favor-seekers, looking around for influential advocates, are impressed by stories that Null len financed Ickes' independent progressive committee for Roosevelt in 1882 and that he came to the support of Ickes for secertary of the interior at a critical moment.
 (Friends of Ickes have denied those stories, but they're rather commonly believed in PWA and the Interior Department)
 More obscure lawyers frequently come to Mullen and others of his ilk, promising fee splits in return for help. Recently Mullen was rag ing because in at least two in- stances Ickes had refused to ap- prove payments to him from Indian tribal funds for alleged services.
 The lobby racket here will never be curbed or exposed until officials are compelled to make public their contacts with lobbyists.
 Norris on the Trail
 Tn the case of the $165,000 fees, Mullen has on his trail the re- doubtable Senator George w. Nor ris of Nebraska, which is never any fun for anybody.
 The fees are billed for services to two water conservation and power projects and have been sub- mitted to Ickes for approval. Those projects were approved early in the PWA game, while Norris fought for two years for his Tri-County irriga- tion-power project against opposi- ton from Mullen, representing the first two.
 Norris wants to know whether PWA is being asked to approve use of its funds for fighting an- other PWA project.
 PWA lawyers suspect that per- haps Mullen expected to be scaled down to about $100,000. They guess that eventually he may receive be- tween 5000 and $50,000.

riage she tried to persuade her
husband to stop racing.
NIOW I try to encourage him"
IN she said today. Each year
I hope that he will be lucky and
win-for much of it is luck. And
I feel that, once Tony wins, he
will be sensible and quit. Maybe
this will be the year; he has the
best car he ever has driven, and
his chances seem good"
Mrs. Gulotta denies any knowl-
edge Of racing cars.
Il don't know what's under the
hood" she says. Il only know
what Tony says about them. Of
course around this time of the
year, that is his entire conversa-
ton. But am glad that he is to
have the riding mechanic he has
this year. I think much depends
on him, and much more on the
men IN the pits. II they didn't
give him the right information,
Tony would be at a disadvantage"
So the pretty blond wife of Tony
Gulotta sits in her apartment,
looking like any other attractive
young matron, but with thoughts
far different.
She is thinking of Memorial
Day. when her athletic young
husband will speed around the
Speedway track.
If he is lucky enough to come
in first under the checkered flag,
she hopes he will do as he has
intimated, and quit racing.
But young Denny Gulotta. who
wishes to be known as Tony"
plays Speedway on the play
ground and sidewalks around the
building, and wants to be race
driver.

MHEN Mrs. Gulotta leaves for
w the Speedway race this
year, her son will not realize
that she is going to see his
father in his race against time
and danger.
L will leave him with my sister,
Miss Grace Sawyer, who is here
with us" Mrs. Gulotta explained
today. He will play with the
other children in the building,
not realizing just what the day
means.
Il did think tor while that I
would take him to the race this
year" she added, as she displayed
drawings of automobiles which
the child has made on the backs
Of envelopes and scraps of paper.
But I am afraid it would be
very long day for him, and be-
sides. it might make me more
nervous.
oh, yes" she added with
courageous smile. L get nervous;
always a little more so as the day
approaches. 1 never watch the
turns on the track, or try to see
the accidents.
L try to watch only the cars
as they go past my box, and to
see which cars are near Tony.
Then if he does not appear as
soon as I expect him on the
next lap, do worry.
