Connor was ready for action. A few weeks ago the senate passed q bill by Senator John c. Blackall of Hartford. giving the 50 men to the state police department. This lat ter bill was ready for action in the house to-day with the result that opposing bills were ready in both senate and house. The conference was called to iron out the diffi- culties.

 Pension Bill Fight
 Hartford. Conn, April 16-CUP) --- The most controversial issue of the old age pension bill -- extend ing the term of the state agent from four to six years was elim- mated In the senate today wher 1t was voted to send the amend nent back to committee where | was expected to expire withou further consideration.
 The surprise move came after conference between Leader J. Ken. meth Bradley, republican. West port, chairman of the judiciary committee which drafted the bill and Governor Wilbur l.. Cross.
 Under the term extension pro- posal. the nomination of state agent would be by both the senate and house, whereas at present only senate approval is necessary.
 In view of this action 1t was reliably reported tho Governor would rename Raymond r. Gates who would have direct supervision oyer the administration of the fund. estimated to start at $2,100.000 by next July.
 The only other objection to the bill in its present form was over a proposal to set a $3 head tax. to replace the $2 poll tax. Oppo- ents wore prepared to fight for a $2 levy.
 This issue was one, of minor i'm. portant and. with tho greatesi stumbling block removed, speedy enactment of the security measure was anticipated.
 A sales tax bill was withdrawn today in the senate to clear the way for the special tax study coni. missions bill which recommend. a per cent tax, with no exemp' tions.
 With the pension fight apparent ly avoided. the tax bill became the storm center and sentiment was said to be rapidly gaining moinen-

 FIGHT FOR LIFE

Boston. April 16--(UP)--New Engiand's pioneer cotton textile in- dustry. livelihood of hundreds of thousands during the past 122 years is fighting for it's life. Many Inanu- fa 2turers maintain that unless drastic relief measures are sum- marily adopted 1t will be crushed out of existence by the combined burden of the processing tax. Jap- anese competition, over-production and the north-south wage .differen- tials. Their fears do not appear to be groundless.
 A survey today showed that: Fifteen large New England mills have closed since January l, with ap.> >roximately 12,000 operatives af- fected. Several of these plants never expect to reopen. Nearly 30 additional mills have closed within the past two years, throwing about 15.O0O more operatives out of work. Few of these plan to reopen. Countless other mills have cur tailed. either by suspending opera tions in certain departments or by reducing working hours. And al. most daily the looms of additional mills are silenced.

First Night
Author Probably Shaking
in His Boots as Plays
Premier Nears.

The Civic Theater Playhouse to-
Gay looks like young department
store in the process of remodelling.
Bullying wardrobes, scaffolding from
which hang color-splashed drops and
curtains and busy stage hands are
present in the overture" to to-
nights world premiere Of 'Faun."
1t is safe to say that Charles
Bruce MilhOlland, author and star.
will be shaking in his boots tonight.
He is to be comforted by the fact
that all great stars have confessed
that peculiar feeling in the pits of
their stomachs which precedes the
rise of curtains.
But Mr.. Milholland has more on
his mind than the average first
night star. He wrote the play he's
appearing in. He built himself a
reputation last year with "Twenti-
eth Century" He had Charles Mac
Arthur and Ben Hecht to lean on
for that. "Faun" is his very own.
And there are to be a half dozen
producers representatives sitting in
the theater tonight glaring at his
play, picking it to pieces, hoping
that it has the spark which sets off
Broadway successes.
Spectacular Production
"Faun" is the most spectacular
from standpoint of technical neces-
sities) production the Civic ever has
attempted. Director Frederick Bur-
leigh designed the 10 sets. His back
stage organization includes a cast
of 81, stage crew of 10, wardrobe
department of six, and three cleo
tricians.
Under the direction of Anna Lud-
mia the ballets for the play have
been written and arranged to mu-
