Many Get Shot at It

This astonishing measure, which in effect gives the president five billion dollars to spent at his dis erection, was born somewhere be- tween the Treasury and the Budget Bureau--which are like ham and eggs since Director Lew Douglas quit the latter-and was then passed with great secrecy around the town. Quite g. few changes were made.
 Harry Hopkins had an early crack at 1t. He called in cele- bratcd New Deal legal wizard, who helped him make a couple of rath- CT minor alterations.
 You can be sure that when the bill left Hopkins 1t had no refer ence to 'security' payments, tho bilrs term for the controversial low wages to be paid on work re- lief jobs. That part was inserted later, at Roosevelt's insistence.
 The bill was passed on to At torney General Cummings, Secre- tary 1ckes, and q few other fellows. Even the celebrated Dr Tugwell mulled 1t over.
 Finally 1t got back to the Treas- ury building. These Secretary Morgenthau, Admiral Peoples, and Budget Director Bell had 0 semi final say on the measure as 1t then stood, with the White House it, self giving the last okay.

METHODISTS WILL
 SPONSOR MUSICAL
"The Algerian Pirates" to Be Given at Naugatuck
 Church in March

Naugatuck, Feb lone of the most interesting things about "The Algerian Pirates", the musical comedy to be given in March at the Methodist church by a large cast of local talent, is the story.
 Barborossa, renegade Greek, has made himself ruler of the AL gerian pirates. Commodore Deca- tur, of the United States navy, goes to Algiers to inform Barbarossa that the United States government will no longer pay tribute into his fathomless pockets and that he must sign treaty to cease mo- testing United States shipping. De- catur falls in love with Althea, Barbarossa's daughter; but Bar barossa wishes her to wed the Bey of Morocco. Jim Crow, Decatur's colored servant, fills Barbarossa' g ears with tales of the great busi- ness success the Greeks have had in America. Barbarossa calls his pirates from the sea and they open restaurants, candy shops, boot blacking stapds, etc, under the guidance of Jim. Jim at tho same time is winning all of Bar barossa's money teaching him the American game of dice.
 Barbarossa eventually becomes angcred at losing his money and at the same time his revenue from his pirates, who now refuse to di- vide their profits with him. He informs Barbarossa that forty thousand French soldiers have cap tured Algiers and that the only way he can escape with hsi life Is to abdicate his throne and leave Algiers, taking the Bey of Morocco with him. This leaves the lovers to follow the dictates of their own hearts, and all ends happlly-even for Barbarossa and Mulai Ahmed, Bey of Morocco, who decide to go to America and open q Greek res- taurant and hire Jim to cook for them.
 The stage setting is being de- signed and painted by Leona Hinckley, with the carpenter and electrical work being done by Ralph Floyd. The stage itself will be considerably enlarged.

Washington, Feb 1.-Senator Jim Couzens of Michigan aroused an enthusiastic curiosity here when he asserted that whoever wrote the five billion dollar work relief bill ought to be hanged. "Not in effigy, but physically" Couzens explained.
 Dlligent snooping produces evi- dence that if the idea is to be carried out, the populace will te treated to spectacle akin to q NaZi or Russian purge.
 Tracing the culprit, thanks to New Deal secrecy and a flood of denials, Is even more difficult than finding someone in Washington who privately doesn't say it's a bad bill"
 But there were at least as many fingers in the measure--before It was finally polished off for an an- gry Congress---as you'll find on the four sides of bridge table.
 Couzens said he understood the real authors were Ben Cohen, chief counsel for the National Power Policy Committee and probable successor to Ferdinand Pecora on the SEC, and Donald Richberg, whom you all know.
 But Cohen had nothing to do with the bill and Richberg merely gave assent at conference which considered it.

LINK GAME BILL
 WITH FARM PLAN
Passage of $l,OOO,OOO Bond Issue Provides for
 Boost in License Fees

Hartford, Feb 1-Passage of the $1, ,000,00 state board of fisheries and game bond issue bill will mean not only the acquisition by lease or purchase of thousands of acres of rural lands for public recreation purposes but will permit the board for the first time to share in the $25,O00.00O federal submarginal land retirement fund, according to a bulletin of the board today.
 The newly drafted bill, as intro- duced in the legislature, has been made an enabling act to link the Connecticut state board of fisheries and game with hte federal fund. Section eight provides: "The board of fisheries and game, acting through tho board of finance and control, is authorized in the name of the state to accept and admin ister any funds that may be advanced or contributed by the federal government, or any agency established by 1t, for the acquire ment of submarginal lands"
 As originally proposed by Com missioner Thomas H. Beck to the Connecticut Association of Fis1 and Game clubs when 1t was ap- proved, the bill provides for an In- crease of fifty cents in hunting and fishing license fees. The state treasurer would retain this income in a special fund for payment of bond interest. Payment of princi- pal would be made through regu- lar appropriations.
 Enactment of the bill as now written will make the measure as much a farm relief measure as a public fishing and hunting project" according to Commissioner Beck. Many farmers will be aided by the opportunity to sell or lease rights of ways to ponds. marshes for waterfowl. breeding and shoot Ing areas, strips of land bordering fishing streams and farm lands for upland game shooting. The sports men will pay carrying charges and will benefit also because it will condense into one year the pro- gram of the next twenty years for the lease and purchase of lands and waters"
