 TO GIVE ADDRESS
Vassar Graduate Secured for Connecticut College
 Exercises June 10

Josephine Aspinwall Roche, as- sistant secretary of the treasury will be the speaker at the Connec- ticut College commencement exer- cises June 10, Miss Roche is one of the outstanding women in public life to-day. She is widely known as a friend of the Iaborer and has for many years fought steadfastly for improved conditions for the work ingman. She set her native state of Colorado astir in 1927, when, after assuming control of the Rocky Mountain Fuel Company in which she had inherited a large block of stock from her father, she invited the United Mine Workers of Amer- ica to unionize the laborers in her mine. Last fall she was the dem0- cratic nominee for governor in Col~ orado, making a notable run.
 A graduate of Vassar College in 1908, Miss Roche has divided her energies since that time between social service and politics. From 1915 to 1918 she was probation of- ficer of the Denver Juvenile and Family court. In 1910 she received her Master of Arts degree from Columbia University at the same time as Frances. Perkins. who is her close friend. During the war Miss Roche was in England as a special agent for the Belgian Relief commission. She later organized Belgian relief in New York, New Hampshire and Vermont under Herbert Hoover.

Immediate Action
 Urged By Sponsors
 Of Betting Measure
Many Splendid Sites Mentioned for Modern Tracks Statewide Interest Also Manifested in Makeup
 of Commission Senator LawlOr Favored
(BY JOHN A. CIUNEr)

So that little time will be lost towards the realization of the ob- jective of packers of the pari- mutuel horse race- betting bill passed by the Connecticut Legis- lature this week, Governor Wilbur l.. Cross will be asked to sign the measure, making it law, on Mon day or Tuesday of next week, the Democrat learns from a reliable source.
 Rumor continues rife relative to the site of the proposed track with Danbury, West Hartford, Fairfield county and Stamford or East Port chester being mentioned as having the territory where the first track will be laid out. Latest develop ments point however, to the exten. tion of the -eighths mile track atDanbury fair grounds as the place where the runners" will have their debut in the Nutmeg state. It's location in relation to upper New York state as well as the ideal setup for the making over of the present grounds is in its fa- yor. though the most important point Is that Ranburians may be asked to vote on the measure at their city election withi na week or two. which would, on a favorable ballot, take care of the local op- ton" clause in the bill which has been the real thorn in it's side since the passageof the measure in both sections of the legislature.
 Taxvuop Outstanding
 As for the two racing commfs- sioners to be named, 1t is under stood that Governor Cross. who has the naming of them, will offer one post to Senator Joseph H. Lawlor, original sponsor of the racing measure several years ago. Other wise, Otis Fox of Putnam and Dr George Hanna of Danbury are ex- pected to be named as the Con- necticut racing two-man commits sion.
 Senator Lawlor has not been campaigning for the post. though he is expected to accept It, should Governor Cross ask him to be the democrat named to the commis- sion. Lawlor is present state atn- letic commissioner. Dr. Hanna is q brother of William c. Hanna, speaker of the house of represent tatives and native of Danbury, where a mile track for running horses is expected to be built.
 Other reports on tracks include ono that William Big Bill'' Dwyer, operator of the Rockingham racidg plaat in Salem, New Hampshire, plans a Connecticut track in Fair field county, near the southern New York state line and which would attract New York city horse lovers to bet through the parl- mutuel machines, rather than the ''book" to which they have been accustomed for years.

 Borah's proposal to revive anti trust laws in all their force was offered as an amendment to the ork-relief bill. It was defeated. If offered separately many believed it would have passed.
 The question of how much NRA has effected return of monop- olies is reported to have vexed MT Roosevelt.
 The finance committee has chosen three men to conduct Il study of the effect of MIRA on business, particularly the little fellow" whom Clarence Darrow so warmly espoused. They are w.. Jett Lauck, economist; James A.. Horton, chief counsel of the fed eral trade commission, and Rich ard P. Whitley, Horton's assistant.

HAUPTMANN SAW

POISONOUS GASES MENACE WORKERS
Safety Rules to Men Who Work in Tanks or Pits
 Given By Health Dept

Warning to men whose employ
 ment makes it necessary for them to enter tanks or pits, even when
 they are apparently empty and
 well ventilated, to follow the rule of two men and life line" was given today by w. A. Cook, chief industrial hygienist of the bureau
 of occupational diseases of the state department of health, in the
 departm ent's weekly broadcast. Death dealing amounts of poison ous gases or of gases which will not support life have caused many needless deaths where such pre- caution has been ignored, he said.
 The precautions of ventillatinS or steaming out tanks before they are entered, the wearing of hose
 masks, and analysis of the air should not be neglected, but even with these precautions a man should never enter q tank without having a life line securely attached and man outside the tank ready to haul him out should he be overcome by gases, MT. Cook warned. He cited one case in which a man stepped down to a dividing wall about six feet below the surface of tannery pit which was being given its periodic clean ing, but which still had a mass of sludge at the bottom. The man quickly lost consciousness and fell into the sludge. A fellow worker leaped to the rescue and suffered the same fate. Two more workers did the same thing, and so did a passerby. Five dead bodies were i nthe pit before the fire depart ment could be summoned for aid.
 MT. Cook also admonished that fermentation, as in brewery pro- cesses, produces carbon dioxide, which may accumulate to cause ir- respirable atmospheres in tanks, pits or other low areas. Three lives were lost in a case of this kind, much in the manner related above. Sewer gas took the lives of five men in one case where four workers made an attempt to res cue fellow worker who had been overcome. Carbon monoxide, pres ent, unexpectedly in a producer tank, caused two fatalities. Fatal cases of asphyXiation have occur supposedly empty but which con- tained sufficient gasoline to kill. "So of you must enter tank or pit for cleaning or other purpos- es, or if your employees or. fellow workers have occasion to do such work, be sure that the regulation og two men and life line is enforced" MT. Cook concluded.

Error In Spe Hing Delays Decorations

The regular city court room, which has been in the process of painting and rcdccOratiOn, won't be used for court scs- sions for at least another week, though it was hoped that it might be used again beginning next Wcck-all because sOme- body slipped up in his spelling.
 Over the judges desk in city court, before the redecOrating work was begun, was a we'll known quotation from Cicero: "Thc Foundations of Justice Arc That None Shall Be Harmed and That the COm- mon Veal Shall Be Served"
 The inscription was to be re- painted, and it was, but some bright soul this morning dis covered, just us the decorating work was almost over, that the painter had slipped up a bit by spelling ..foundation" with- out a "u".
 So, orders were given that the entire inscription be re- painted. City court Sran- Inarians will study tlic spelling of the quotation as it is being Daintcd on.
