SALES TAX BILL
 HAS ASSEMBLY ! MUCH WORRIED
Both Houses Have Killed It-MOve on Foot for
 New Measure

Hartford, Conn.,, May 31-(UP) A move was afoot today to pump new life into the $S,000,000 sales tax-municipal relief bill killed off in the house and senate last week.
 Groomed to occupy the star role in the states revenue-raising pro gram, its sudden demise chilled the optimism of the appropriations con- mittee struggling to whip the budget into shape and maneuver the state into position to share in the federal governments huge re- lief outlay.
 Assembly leaders pondered the advisability of submitting a new bill, eliminating some of the con troyersial features of the old one, principally exemption of milk and bread. It would shave approXim- ately $2.OOO,OOO from the Income but if passed, would appreciably jack up receipts.
 Millions Are Lost
 Reflection of the original bill cost municipalities $6,000,000, their share of the two per cent tax. of which the state was to get one third.
 The appropriations committee, after the bills defeat, set to work to reduce all expenditures 20 per cent. Among the items to suffer was a proposal to restore all sal ary cuts, put into effect four years ago.
 Although the house held only a sksleton session Memorial day, 1t received favorable reports on bills to establish bipartisan police and fire boards at Norwalk. and stipu- lating the Middletown public works board be composed of the mayor and three couneilmen.
 The finance committee reported favorably a bill to assess unpaid taxes due the state 10 per cent and appoint a tax marshall in each county to make collections.
 Walcott Approved
 The senate received q favorable report on the governors nomina- ton of former U. s. Senator Fred eric c. Walcott. republican, Nor folk, as state welfare commissioner.
 Socialists and democrats were ready to oppose confirmation while in the house, the overwhelming republican majority, assured ap- proval.
 Favorable reports were received on bills to set 2 per cent ad va lorem tax on liquor to be paid by wholesaler or manufacturer and to extend provisions of the non-sup- tN,r nd no Is grandparents and grandchildren as we'll as wife and children.
 Action was avoided on the pro- posal to increase the personnel of the state police force for highway patrol and a number of education bills of controversial nature.
