ELM CITY LEAGUE
 SOLVESQUESTION
Teachers Promise Educa= ton Board Cooperation
 in Leaves of Absence

Of considerable interest to local teachers will be the announcement in New Haven today that the New Haven Teachers league has prom ised cooperation with the board of education in the matter of leaves of absence. The New Haven school board has consistently opposed the indiscriminate granting of leaves of absence, with the result that recent pleas for such leaves have been tabled pending ad efinite decision on the question.
 Leaves of absence have been the subject of heated discussion at meetings of the local school board during the past year. Commission CT Florence B. Webster has em- phatically opposed the granting of leaves for reasons other than per- sonal illness.
 At the New Haven meeting yes- terday teachers informally agreed that leaves should beg ranted for maternity, study, war service or other federal government service.

ROSSI CASE AGAIN IN COURT CIRCLES
Headings Ordered Filed in Compensation
 Claim

Further pleadings were ordered filed in the compensation case of Orazio Rossi against the Jackson Stone Co following a hearing be- fore Judge Patrick B. O'Sullivan in the superior court today. This is the case, in which the claimant was granted $9,00O award for a lung condition, but which was up- set following an appeal to the su- perior court. An appeal to the su- preme court was taken and a new hearing ordered.
 Commissioner James M. Lynch in a second finding dismissed the claim on the grounds it was not filed within the statutory limita- tion. An appeal was then taken again to the superior court and it is this appeal that now is being heard.
 Rossi contacted the disease in 1924 while working for the stone company but did not file a claim until nearly eight years later. The first time the claim was heard, the Commissioner Frederick Williams gave the man about $9,000. The in- surance company appealed to the superior court and Judge Dicken- son sustained the appeal. Attorney Michael V. Blansf1eld then took an appeal to the supreme court and a new hearing was ordered. This time Commissioner Lynch dis missed the claim. Attorney Walter E. Monagan and Attorney Harold K. Watrous of Hartford represent the insurance company.

NOT A CHANGE TO WIN

Washington, May 3.-UP)- Army officers recently returned from the Philippines today con- ceded the Sakdalista rebels mot a chance" to capture Manila City, and very little chance of carrying on a concerted, unified uprising for long.
 The U. S. army maintains ap- proximately 7,500 troops in Manila and vicinity which could be thrown into the breach to prevent the cap- ital city of the Philippines from capture by insurgents.
 On the basis of reports of the outbreak received so far, however experienced army officers here were confident that regular army troops would not be required. They would be called out, if at all, only upon the request of Acting Governor General Hayden, or if the U. S. government property were at- tackled.
 Constabulary Are Good
 The Philippines constabulary, whom regular army officers de- csribed as good troops" are con- sidered competent to handle the situation. There are more than 1000 constabulary troops in the vicinity of Manila. All told. the constabulary numbers some 5000 men, the majority of whom are scattered through the provinces of the islands in small groups where they serve comparatively in the same capacity as state police.
 The U. S. troops stationed in Manila and vicinity are distributed as follows:
 Manila Garrison-The 31st In- fantry, about HOO officers and men, all American soldiers.
 Fort Mckinley, on the outskirts of Manila-a full regiment of in- fantry. plus an extra battalion and a headquarters company of infan- try, numbering altogether 5000; all Philippines scouts, officered by Americans.
 At Fort Stotsenberg, 60 miles from Manila-the 26th Cavalry and gath Field Artillery, numbering about 2.00O; all Philippines scouts.
 Other Forces Ready
 In addition to these troops, a full coast artillery regiment. and a full regiment of anti-aircraft troops are stationed on the Island of Cor regidor. at the entrance to Manila Bay. The army air corps conting- ent, with several squadrons of planes. is stationed at Nichols .eld. also on the outskirts of Manila.

 OF STATE BANKS
 TO ACT QUICKLY
Will Apply for REC Loans to Open Up All the
 Solvent Banks

'
 Hartford, Conn, May S-(UP)-- The state bank commissioner was expected to make early use of his newly-granted powers to apply to the REC for loans to release mill lions of dollars tied up in the state through bank failures since the 1929 stock market crash. Senate approval of the commissioner as receiver for all closed institutions, was strengthened by adoption of an amendment authorizing him to make application for loans to in- stitutions which are 80 per cent solvent. More than a dozen banks now are in the process of liquida- tion through superior court receiv- erships. New Haven, Bridgeport and Waterbury suffered the sever est losses.
 Mandatory Clause
 The original bill passed left it discretionary with the superior court to appoint the commissioner as receiver. The amendment, of fered by Sen George T. Culhane, D, Waterbury, substituted 8 man. datory clause. Determination of the degree of solvency will be made by a commission of five appraisers named by the commissioner, two of whom will be former officials of the closed bank.
 In cases where 80 per cent solv- ency can be shown, application will be made for federal funds, the bank reorganized with fresh capi- tai and business resumed under state supervision. Tn other cases the commissioner will replace the receiver to reduce attending costs. The bill provided for immediate discharge of superior court receiv- CTS upon its passage and that they submit a full accounting to the bank commissioner.
