DUST STORM WAS
 WORST DISASTER IN ALL HISTORY
Bread Basket of Nation in Danger of Becoming
 American Desert

Washington, March 22.-(UP)- The sand storm sweeping over much of the country has brought to crisis the possibility of a ma
 tional disaster, weather and soil experts said to-day. The &"bread
 basket of the nation" Is in danger of becoming the Great American Desert" the experts said, unless wind erosion of soil is halted. The current dust storm was described
 by H. H. Bennett, soil erosion di-
 rector of the Department of the Interior, as the worst in U. 8. his tory" Damage to crops will run into millions of dollars.
 Corrective measures may not be able to prevent half dozen Plains
 states from becoming a wind-swept
 desert, Bennett indicated. He said
 water tables are dropping lower
 and lower into the earth," presag- ing continued droughts and dust
 storms. The present storm. Ben.
 nett said, is more severe than that of May, 1884, when high winds
 carried away 300,000,000 tons of
 top soil. The amount carried
 away this week canont yet be es- timated. National resources board estimates that soil erosion takes a $400, 100000 toll annually from the natural resources of the nation
 were called conservative. Approxi-
 mately $14,000,00O of the $20,000,-
 GOO PWA grant for soil erosion work will be spent by June 16, Bennett said.
 The danger of high winds strip ping the western plains states of their top soil if preventive meas lures are not taken promptly is not
 one to be passed over lightly, ex- perts said. The government this week began planting a shelter belt of 800, 100000 trees from Texas to North Dakota.

The bill was introduced by Sem ator Kenneth Cramer, republican, of Wethersfield, and would affect the cities of Hartford, New Haven, Bridgeport, New Britain, as well as Waterbury. None of the small towns of the state Is involved.
 It is believed that the bill is aimed at the large cities where various charges of illegal voting and registration have been pre- ferred of recent years. If passed, the bill would revolutionize the system of voting in Connecticut cities. M
 The system now followed is to give your name upon entering the voting area to a checker who checks it on list. Then the person is allowed to vote. Now the voter must sign his or her name before touching the voting machine. The bill also provides that all persons being made. voters must sign their names at the time of being sworn in
