Liquor czars of New York and Chicago during the late and unla- mented era of prohibition had nothing on the owners and oper- ators of the huge still found ad- joining a South Leonard street coal yard Thursday morning. at least as far as making manufacture ana distribution of illicit liquor a thriv- ing, businesslike enterprise is con cerned. Official and civilian ob- servers agreed after looking over the mammoth plant, whose, ex- terior was completely innocent in appearance, that real business planning and management was be- hind it's operation.
 Federal men pointed out that the location was unsurpassabie from alost every viewpoint as one feature, that the equipent and Its arrangement was another, and that the shipping facilities enjoyed made still a third. Other proofs of the efficiency with which the bootleg distillery was operated were found in the buzzer system, covering the brick building hous- ing the distillery and the adjoin- ing smaller buildings as well, the cooling and air conditioning sys- tenn at the place, the auxiliary heating plan which made more rapid fermentation in the vats pos sible.
 Shipping Station
 From the street the tower hous- ing the still and coils appeared to be a coal pocket. Connecting sheds ran to the side and rear, with loading platform in the rear. One set of wide doors faced on a rail- road siding. while a driveway en- abled the trucks to reach the loading platform. Both freight trains and trucks could be used TOT chipping if the still owners so de- sired. Found inside were hundreds oi five-gallon metal cans, all new with collapsible cartons there m sufficient number to cover each oi the cans. Covering of the cans with the pasteboard cartons made them almost immune from suspi' cion.
 How long the still had been n operation and how much illicit ai- cohol had been turned out befors the raid Thursday Is still probie' matIcal. With the equipment alone valued at from s25.000 to $b0.0oO and with the materials and svt gallons of finished product reach Ine . value of thousands more federal men inclined to the ss' sumption that the Illicit distiliery had not given the owners pacn their original investment ecfor' the raid.

Local Schools Escape Revisions Caused By
 Recent, L Legis ton
Protested Measure to Become Law Throughout State; Single Course at Crosby MayB Be Only Change
 Necessary Here; Few Students Affected

s Nt ' Z 4 2
 Except for one minor change which will affect not more than q few score of pupils, the widely discussed bill which compels the teaching of history will cause no revision whatsbever in the curric- iila of the local schools, Dr Thomas T. Condon told the Democrat to- day.
 The measure was the subject of bitter debate for months prior to it's passage, with it's proponents claiming it was an absolute neces- sity in order to inculcate princi- ples of good citizenship in the schools, and those opposed to it taking the stand that such legisla- ton would set a bad precedent.
 Teachers Opposed
 Teachers groups were opposed to the bill, while its advocates were largely representatives of pa- triotic organizations who. urged the passage of this and several other measures designed to coun- teract alleged radical activity in the schools.
 Dr Condon said that the single course affected by the measure here will be the college prepara- tory coures at Crosby, in which the subject was formerly elective. He said that large majority of the students usually selected his- tory anyway. In the elementary schools the course is included in the regular curricula. The local superintendent, of schools added that while he had no data at hand on the extent to which the bill would affect other high schools in the state he believed the situation throughout Connecticut was not much different from that in Wa terbury.
 Requirements
 For all elementary schools. pub lie and private, the law now re- quires for all pupils in grades to 8, or 5 to if there is junior high school CD the medication of citizenship; (2) instruction in the form of local, state, and national and (3) the teaching of United States, Connecticut and local history.
 This legal requirement is not held to mean that the same course shall be repeated each year, ac- cording to the state board of edu- cation. It means rather that ali pupils in these grades shall be In courses in social science of which all subjects mentioned in the law shall be integral parts.
 The second part of the new law states: The history, constitution and government of the United States shall be a required course of study for a period equivalent to one school year in the curric- ulum of all high schools"

 Still With Amusement
Efficiency, Daring Greed Manifest in Layout of South
 Leonard Street Distllery-Valued at Over $5O,OOO

Not only was it the largest still seized in New England since re- peal, but most efficient as well. Continuous flow was made possible by the modern apparatus, giving the still a huge potential daily out put. The cooling system not only made the inside of the plant com fortable despite two large oil burn CTS and boilers, but also kept the suspicious mash smell from the front of the premises. To com pcnsate for the air conditioning, the auxiliary heating system was connected directly to each vat, the additional heat making fermenta- tion of molasses, water and yeast much more rapid.
 The whole plant, observers agreed, reached the most up-to- date note in the bootlegging trade
