SUPREME court
. TRUCK DECISION
State Public Utilities Wins
and Loses in Regard to
Two Companies

Hartford, Conn.,, Dec. s0-(UP)-
A ruling by the supreme court Of
errors today prohibited the State
Public Utilities Commission from
revoking licenses Of interstate truck
ers insured by firms without Con-
necticut permits. The court ruled
the federal motore carrier act of
1885 gave the U. s. government
control over interstate trucking con-
Germs. At the same time, Justice
George e. Hinrnan, who handed
down the decision, upheld the power
OF the PUG to withhold licenses of
interstate truckers insured by COM
panies not registered with the state
insurance department. The rulings
were made on appeals by the in
terstate truck firm of the University
Overland Express, Inc, Of Mass, and
the intrastate concern of the John
J. Mccarthy Co. of Mass. The APP
peals were reserved from Hartford
county superior court.
Against Divided Authority
In the interstate decision, Justice
Hinman declared against a divided
authority" on truck regulation. The
federal motor carrier act makes
government control supreme and
conclusive" he added.
THE necessary consequence" the
ruling said, lis that, whatever may
have been the situation before the
taking effect Of the act of congress
or even, thereafter, before the adop-
ton Of rules and regulations speci-
fically covering the subject matter
here involved, clearly the state reg
gulation has now been superseded
and rendered imperative" Justice
Human found no violation Of the
due process" clause in the intra-
state case.

SPLIT IN CAT
FANC|ERS

A division in the ranks Of the
membership of Columbian Cat
Fanciers, Inc, sponsors Of the
cat show for December 6, was re
vealed today when one group Of
officers brought suit against IL
others, asking United States Dis
trict Court for an injunction, &C.
counting and discovery.
Attorney Herbert S. Ward, on
behalf of the fancier group,
charged that 10 of the members
entered into conspiracy to de-
Stroy the possibility of staging the
show and had secretly held a
meeting at which only the de-
PENDANTS were present. At this
meeting, the petition states, Of
ficers were elected and they now
purport to act for the club.

Snow heavy enough to make

The snow fell shortly after
/ a. m. and the below freezing
mark came at 6 a. m. At 8 o'clock
the mercury began its climb up

above freezing at that hour, and
was expected to ascend gradually

likely tomorrow night.
Depth of the snow fall was
not Immediately known at the

enough to whiten the ground and
remain in evidence until the sun
rose. The fall lasted less than
an hour, but the flakes were large

TAX PROTEST
MADE BY
SWISS
Insurance Firms Hint
Break in Amity If
Bill Passes
BY WILLIAM s. NEAL
International News Service

A veiled warning that the new
3799, ,O0O, 900 tax program may
cause international complications
and further protests from small
packers marked the hearing of
the House Ways and Means Com
nittee today.
Spokesman for Swiss insurance
companies protested against the
proposal to discriminate against
foreign fire, casualty and certain
other insurance companies.
Appeal For Amity 4
Neal Barrett of New York,
speaking for Swiss firms, said:
"This country has friendship
with Switzerland that has be-
come q tradition. It is incOn-
ceivable that in the future there
should be strained or broken re-
latiOns between this country and
Switzerland. The very nature Of
their governments and their
geographic and political situa'
tiOn Is such as to make this as
much a guarantee as can be
given to any human relation
ships.
"Our appeal is not against
proper taxation, the necessity for
which all thinking people admit"
Representative McC Corm k
Cd of Massachusetts, agreed
with Bassett. He said he fav-
ored taxing all insurance COM
panies on the same basis.
