MILK BOARD HAS BEEN REFUSED AN
 APPROPRIATION
Wanted $2O,OOO But the Senate Turned It Down
 in Session To-day

Hartford, Conn.,, Feb. 28-(UP) The senate today unanimously refused an appropriation of $20,- |.000 to the state milk control board for continuation of it's auditing and inspection program which the board declared meant life or death to the farmers" Reconsideration of the measure, which came out of committee on an unfavorable report, came up ton of Sen. John C. Blackall, D., Hartford.
 Sen. Kenneth F. Cramer, R., Wethersfield, chairman of the ap- propriations committee, said he didn't believe the abolition of the board would result from the de- feated appropriation.
 "The balance that this board has now can be used to continue the board with reductions in opera tions. The, board must keep within it's income as provided for in the act creating the board two years ago."
 There was no dissenting vote in turning the request aside.
 The governor warned legislature leaders in a private conference late yesterday that if the bill failed, a substitute must be raised and the money obtained.
 Those attending the conference were non-committal but the gover-- nor said he felt everything would be all right"
 A batch of bills poured into the senate and house.

SLOCUM SCHOOL BROKEN INTO ON.
 TUESDAY NIGHT
Nothing Stolen But Van= dals Did Considerable
 Damage to Property

Damage of more than $100 was done by youths who broke into Sl0cum school Tuesday night, pO- lice reported today. Detectives. at the request of indignant school authorities, this morning contin- utd 8 close investigation of the vandalism, finding that it was similar in many respects to the ransacking of Driggs school few days ago.
 Three doors were almost en- tirely ruined and their castings badly damaged by the vandals, ac- cording to Lieut. Detective Willia.n Pollard and Detective John Leary. Glass and panels were removed from doors. while desks and chairs were overturned, and damaged.
 The detectives this morning made a close study of fingerprints found on the doors and made pho- tographs of some of the prints. Nothing was stolen in the break, but the large amount of damage to public property has resulted In a searching probe of the case.
 As in the break into the Drigge school few days ago, the school was entered through the manuel training room. Other evidences of similarity between the two crimes have been uncovered but are be- ing kept secret. At Driggs school a small .ship-model was stolen from the manual training room.
 Detectives believe the breaks to be the work of older boys and young men. They do not believe the doors could have been jimmied by lads of grammar school age.

FOUNDATION OF RECOVERY ACT IN
 GRAVE DANGER
Decision in the WeirtOn Steel Company Hits the
 Act Body Blow
BY JULIUS FRANDSEN { United Press Staff Correspondent

(UnltCO ffeSS SlAu SOFresIDOnuent1 Washington, Feb. 28-(UP)- Federal court rulings threatened the legal foundations of half a dozen aspects of President Roose- velt's New Deal today
 Newest court attacks-the Weir ton steel decision In Wilmington. Delaware, and the Kentucky coal cast in Louisville-cut to the heart of constitutional principles on which the Roosevelt administration has built its recovery program.
 New Deal supporters challenged the validity of these court decis- ions that through general applica- tion apparently would nulify the efforts of congress. through the MIRA and other agencies to regu- late the vast bulk of American bus mess. They looked to the supreme court for eventual victory, confi- dent that it's Liberal" majority - the majority which many believed stretched the constitution a point to side with the government in the gold cases would uphold the challenged aspects of the recovery law.
 Confusion in NRA
 Despite this confidence, it ap- peared the adverse decisions would heighten the confusion surround ing the future of MIRA. Proposed legislation to extend the recovery act, which expires June 16. already is beset by congressional uncertainties and investigations. The fresh doubts as to validity of Section "A establishing labor's right to collective bargaining) can only add to that confusion.

BY H. 0. THOMPSON United Press Staff Correspondent

Washington, Feb. 28-UP)-- Action by President Roosevelt within 24 hours in an effort to zreak the deadlock on the relief bill was predicted by his aides to- day as he returned from a brief vacation to find his entire legisla- tive program endangered.
 A White House official said he could not imagine that 24 hours would pass without some action" by the President to try to bring or der out of the congressional tangle.
 Before calling senate leaders to confer with him, however, MT Roosevelt apparently planned tc. review the course of developments during his five day absence. The days list of callers showed mostly routine appointments.
 Secretary of Labor Frances Per- kins and Relief Administrator Har- ry L. Hopkins were listed for ap- pointments during the day. how ever.

ALBERT CROSBY TRIED SUICIDE
 IN POLICE CELL
Used His Belt But Was Cut Down Before He Had
 Succeeded

An attempt at suicide in a police station jail cell at o'clock this morning was halted when Patrol man Leo BuckmiIler, doorman at pulled down the body of Albert Crosby, 2S, just as the man was hanging himself from the adtop of the cell by means of a moose improvised with his belt. Crosby, arrested. an hour before for drunkenness, was gasping and choking for breath when Doorman Buckmiller climbed on the bunk in the mans cell and lifted him from the moose.
 When Crosby was unable to ap- pear in city court at. o'clock, Judge John F. McGrath orderei that the mans case be heard in his jail cell. Still weak and sick, Crosby was unable to rise from his bunk when the judge, Prosecutors Charles Summa, court attaches, po- licemen. and reporters came to his cell, and hearing of his case was postponed until tomorrow morn ing. >
 Used RuSe to Escape
 Sergeant John Brickel said after court this morning that twice re- gently Crosby employed ruse to gain his freedom. When arrest ed and placed in cell, Crosby, according to the sergeant, made a small cut inside his nose and complained of a hemorrhage. Po- lice, on both occasions, seeing the flow of blood, sent the man to the hospital in the belief that he was actually having hemorrhage aud both times Crosby's case was nolled in city court.
 There was no question, however, but that Crosby's suicide attempt this morning was genuine. His neck was badly chafed from the leather belt and he was unable to breathe normally for some time. The man was examined late this morning by Dr Richard Hinchey.
 A week or two ago, Crosby was found lying on Thomaston avenue in Waterville by a passing rotor
