BY PAUL MAY Democrat CorrespOndcnt)


 Washington, D. C., March 21.- Congressional approval of the pro- posed improvement of the Con- necticut river, above Hartford, Conn, and of the Thames river in Connecticut, as recommended by army engineers, would be extend ed by the terms of a bill spon- sored by the Rivers and Harbors committee of the House of Rep rcsentatives.
 By thus giving congressional sanction to the project, the bill would put the two projects in the front rank for allotments from the four billion dollar work -relief bill now pending. The senate has earmarked $35O,00O, ,000 of the to- tai sum for rivers and harbors im- provement and floor control pro- jects.
 So much dust has been kicked up In congress over the allotment Of funds by the PWA to projects not previously sanctioned by con- gress, that 1t is believed allot- ments to be undertaken under legislation now pending will be restricted generally to projects specifically authorized by congress.
 Further Appropriation
 The Rivers and Harbors commit tee has now power to originate appropriations bills, but the pro- jects contained in the bill now proposed, after 1t has run the gauntlet of the House and senate, will define the limitations for fu- ture appropriations. The same authorization which would permit the projects to get PWA or work

reliefp funds will also permit definite appropriation of funds at a later date, without further auth- orization.
 The War Department appropri- ations bill already enacted at this session of congress was held down to items for strictly maintenance purposes on projects already authorized and under way. There has been a question as to whether any appropriations for new river and harbor projects would pass at this session. The bill now intro. duced by Chairman Mansfield of the Rivers and Harbors commit- tee, since it does not actually ap- proprlate funds, is believed to stand an excellent chance of pass sage, with very little modification.
 In addition to making the Thames river and Connecticut river projects eligible for allot. ment of emergency funds, the bill, if it passes, would open the way for ''tacking on' an appropriation for the purpose to any deficiency ap-. propriations bill which may later be passed.

Spring Is Here! Weather Man
 Sulky As New Season Arrives

that New England's winter of 1934-S5 was officially over. It was easy to remember, though the calender said spring, that it wasn't so long ago that streets were covered with snow and ice, ears had to be buried in OvcrcOat collars if they were at all liked by their own ncrs, auto tire chains had to be put on and taken off d dis- hcartening number of times, and every bit of the wcathcr's "wOrst" seemed reserved for this part of the country.
 But that was a whole sea- son ago. Of course one could be pessimistic and realize that in a few months it'll be swell teringly hot here for comfort and that soon after that the weather prophets will be esti- mating the number of next years snOwstorms. But that's too pcssimistic on the first day of spring.
 Signs of Spring.
 It's planning time for plant ing, for fishing for the annual housekeeping spree; it's Out- door time, it's rain time, it's sulphur and molasses time, and, ker-choo, it's sniffie time.
 Ycb, spring has really cum.

"The flowers that bloom in the spring, tra-la. :"
 Slyly sneaking in behind a light rain and under murky skies, spring came to town this morning. It didn't declare it- self, it failed to have any whistles footing merry greet ing, but the calendar said that S:1S was the beginning of spring; and that long awaited season, whether it knew 1t or not, had arrived.
 Small wonder that this morn- ing little junior was asking 'Ma, can't I take off this win ter underwear" that the sub- urban housewife was looking through her flower seed cata- logues, that the fellow at the next desk in the office was pondering over what he did with that last half-dOZen golf balls he bought last fall, that but there aren't any more examples necessary.

POLES

Now current at Polls is a double feature program that contains all the necessary ingredients of great entertainment, two features each of the highest order are on the program, the first being Helen Hayes and Robert Montgomery in "Vanessa" while the second is one of the ever popular series in the trials, tribulations and love affairs of Victor McLaglen and Edmund Lowe, the title of this offering is Under, Pressure.
 Large crowds attended the am- ateur show last night and great talent in the amateurs with the addition of the guest artists who were present made show that compared favorably and surpassed a lot of the vaudeville shows pre- sented by other theaters.
 For four days, and with the an- nouncement is the thought that they will be crowded days, Poli presents starting Saturday, the outstanding film of this year or other years Roberta" with Irene Dunne, Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers.
 Alone these three names should be a guarantee of the caliber of the attraction but add to the tune fIl melodies of Jerome Kern, 500 beautiful girls, new and sensational dance routines by Rogers and Astaire and you have an idea of what is to be expected in the tall ent line then again there will be on display during the screen time of this show display of fashions that will leave the women in the audience speechless. Never before has such gathering of beautiful clothes been shown. So far the audience have arisen in their seats and applauded this eye-feast. ~
 On the same program there will be one of the ever popular Laurel and Hardy comedies the title of this one being "Tit for Tat'' and that should conjure in all minds plenty of opportunity for fun and frivolity at which these two clever dudes are past masters. Last but by no means least there is also a Mickey Mouse Cartoon comedy and the title of this is "Mickey's Man Friday.
 There will be no advance in prices for this engagement of Roberta" and contrary to the thoughts of many that 1t will be shown for longer than 4 days this will not be the case, it will te shown at the regular prices at Polls and will not be shown for |any longer than days from Satur- day to Tuesday night.
