Campaign To Ban
 Automotive Radios
Hearing in Hartford Tuesday to Eliminate Attacl-
 Motorists, Radio Interests Protest

A bill pending in the Connecti- cut Legislature which would make Connecticut the only state in the Union preventing use of automo- tive radios will come up for hear ing in Hartford next Tuesday.
 Connecticut motorists and auto- motive and radio interests are pre- pairing a united attack on the bill. The hearing will be held before the senate motor vehicles commit tee, of which Senator w. c. Hun- gerford is chairman, at 2 o'clock, Tuesday afternoon, April 2. The bill, introduced by Senator Har- wood, would prohibit operation of motor vehicles upon Connecticut highways which are equipped with a radio or other mechanical de- vice tending to divert the atten- tion of the operator" The penalty provided is fine of $50. Police cars would be exempt.
 The Radio Manufacturers asso- citation, the national trade organ ization, will be represented at the hearing by Bond Geddes of Wash ington, executive vice-president and general manager of the asso- citation. The Automobile Manufac- turers' association, motorists or- ganization and Connecticut auto- motive and radio wholesalers and dealers also will oppose the bill.
 Thousnds Affected
 Motoring visitors to Connecticut, as well as Connecticut citizens. would be fined $50 for having ra- dios in their cars under the bill. It is estimated that 25,000 radio- equipped automobiles are now op- erated in Connecticut and the bill would seriously injure Connecti- cut automotive and radio dis tributors and dealers.
 No city or state in the United States or any foreign country has banned automotive radio as pro- posed in the bill of Senator Har- wood. Very few states or cities have any regulation of automotive radio, even in taxicabs. A few states only impose regulations against automotive radio which would receive police signals but no public service commission, po- lice regulation, city rodinance or state law, nor insurance companies, have ever found that automotive radio constitutes a traffic hazard On the contrary, the rulings thus far are unanimous that equipment of automobiles with radio tends to reduce driving speed and thus makes for safer motoring and highways.
 At the hearing Tuesday the ra- dio and automotive interests will vigorously oppose the proposed prohibition against automotive ra- dio as an unnecessary and unwise restriction and an injury to aYto- motive and radio interests, includ- ing broadcast stations.

Jeffersonian Club
 Greeted By Cummings
AttOmeyGeneraI Pays High Tribute to Guest Speaker sfOr Mayors Testimonial Dinner, April l3

Attorney General Homer s. Cummings has expressed his fer nal regrets at his inability to att tend the testimonial dinner ar- ranged by the JeffeFsonian Club in honor of Lieutenant Governor Frank Hayes. The letter while a little disappointing to members of the committee was tempered sonle- what with glad tidings" concern ing the principal speaker. of the ovening-U. S. Senator Schwellen- bach. Attorney Cummings con- tributed a splendid testimony con- cerning '.the Gentlema- rom the State of Washington . stating that the club was really fortunate in having him as it's guest.
 Tribute To Sneaker
 The letter of Attorney General Cummings in part was as follows:
 Although the Gridiron din- ner, which wiIB be given in Washington by the Press Cor respondents, prevents my att tending your testimonial din- ner to Lieutenant-Govern Frank Hayes, I, nevertheless, send you my sincerest regards and best wishes that your af- fair will be great success. You are fortunate in having Senator Schwellenbach with you on that occasion. He is a man of great ability, both as a scholar and as an orator, and since coming to Washington, he has won many friends by his personal charm. His col- leagues in the Senate have come to respect and admire the logic of his thinking and his keen understanding of national affairs. The Senator exemplifies the finest princi- pals of Jeffersonian Democra- cy."
 Speaker Accepts
 Attorney Joseph M. Navln, president of the Jeffersonian club, is in receipt of letter from United States Senator Schwellcn- bach, the principal speaker, which reads as follows:
 T, have received your let- ter of March 22nd, and wish to express to you my apprecia- tion, of the opportunity of being with you on April 18th. Please be assured that I am looking with eager anticipation to my first visit to your State.
 April 18th is surely an ap- propriate and fitting d ay for Democrats to assemble and honor Thomas Jefferson. My address will have to do with The Great Democrat, but l will not limit 1t entirely to this subject, and will very
 largely discuss present-day po-

eight states have inquired about
the Nebraska law, but Delaware is
the first, after Nebraska, to have
such a measure introduced in its
Legislature. The bill would create
a General Assembly consisting of
35 members to be elected from 80
representative districts as now es-
tablished in the constitution, five
from New Castle, Kent and Sussex
couties. This one chamber assem-
Fly would be clothed with all the
authority and power now vested by
the constitution in the present gen.
eral assembly of two houses. The
Schorr measure would abolish the
Senate and House as they now ex-
ist. If adopted the bill would be-
come effective January 1, 1889,
when the first one chamber assem-
bly, would meet. Members would
be paid an annual salary of $500
while they were in assembly and
the president pro tenn would get
$500 extra, but salaries and allow
ances to employees could not exceed
$4,000 for any one session. One
purpose of the bill is to reduce the
cost of legislation in this State and
provide for an economical govern
ment. The bill was referred to the
miscellaneous committee of the
House.
