WIRE BUILDERS
 OPPOSING BILL
Local Members Against Government Operating
 National Railroads
Especial to The Democrat)

N1RSNABA &&SAAAVSAoSeB
 New York, Oct. 20-Sixteen Con- necticut business organizations are strongly opposed to government acquisition and operation of the railroads, which is being urged by powerful labor and political groups and in bills introduced at the last session of congress, it wss announ- ced here today by the transporta- tion conference of 1o33-35.
 The organizations include the Connecticut Chamber of Commerce, Inc, Hartford; The Manufacturers Association of Connecticut, Inc, Hartford; the Ansonia Chamber of Commerce, Bridgeport Traffic asso- citation, Greenwich chamber of con1- merce, Hartford chamber of com- merce, Middlesex County Manufac- turers association, Middletown; New Britain chamber of commerce, New London chamber of commerce, Nor walk chamber of commerce, Nor wich chamber of commerce, Wire Machinery Builders association, Waterbury; Willimantic chamber of commerce and the WinSted cham Der of commerce.
 Their reasons are set forth in resolutions which had been passed and submitted to the transportation conference in its poll of American business, resulting in 633 business organizations throughout the coun- try declaring their opposition.
 The Connecticut Chamber of Commerce stated: Tn the pioneer days of railroad transportation, it was the physical and brain power plus the finances furnished by pri- vate enterprises that linked the ex- treme east with the extreme west, the north with the south, with the wonderful steam railroad transpor- tation facilities that for years have been successfully carrying passen- gers, baggage and freight to all im- portant sections of the Unite States Government ownership of rail- roads carried to its logical conclu- sion would also mean government ownership of air and water trans- portation facilities. Such ownership would mean the loss of 8 tremend- ous amount of taxes which would force added burdens in other, quar- ters."

 Aboard Landon campaign train. in California, Oct. 2O.--(UP) Gov. Ali M. Landori moved into Califor- mia today with broader reciprocal trade view to offer in a bid for that states % electoral votes and a pledge to improve the civilian conservation corps.
 He hoped to bring California defin- itely into .'.e republican column with his spech tonight at Los An- geles and then turn eastward again for last minute fights for states in the southwest, the middle west and the east.
 Has Three Advisers
 On the governors train, in addi- tion to the officially announced party of Kansans, were three advisers with special interest in foreign trade prob- lems: William R. Castle, former lln- der secretary of state, J. Reuben Clark, former ambassador to Mex leo; and Henry Haskell, Kansas City editor.
 T-e repeatedly emphasized that he proposed to aid in world recovery by proper" use of reciprocal trade ne- gotiations but without penalizing farmer or consumer and without halting ample benefits" to give the farmer This proper position"
 "This is mt inconsistent with balanced budget" he said, possibly in reference to MT. Roosevelt's chargs that the republicans were firing both ways at onco. Freedom from crop control and the gradual recapture of our foreign markets will permit Us rapidly to reduce the past heavy burdens on the federal treasury and simultaneously improve the farmers market
 eco Camps Please
 In his Barstow speech the gov- ernor said l travelling across the country he was happy to see from his car window several eco camps and evidences or the good work the boys in them have done"
 If elected, he said, T i'll do everything within my power not only to continue the eco but to im- prove the organization. It shall be my purpose to make it far more ef- fective than it yet has been both for the young men who compose 1t and for the public.
 Possibility of extending the gov- ernor,s tour to San Francisco ap- peared abandoned. He will speak at Phoenix on his return to Oklahoma City where he is scheduled to speak Oct. g. His next definite stop is Indianapolis Saturday night. Tenta- tive stops are planned at Tuls- Okla. on Oct. g. at Springfield. Mo, the same evening. at Peoria, H.. Sunday at Marietta, O., where Landon went to school as boy, and at Charles ton, W. Va.

AA4 1T ABA4A1 AAAAAO&A AAs g NAA~ANA GU. P: White House CorrespOndentl
 Washington, October %. = (UP) President Roosevelt leaves for New England on another campaign tour apparently in the best of health, unaffected by his arduous stumping of the country.
 The president got but little rest during his two-day stOp-over at the White House between his middle western tour and his invasion of what is considered stronghold of his republican opposition. Confer enceS and executive business occu- pied his time.
 Aside from missing his daily exer- cise routine--a vigorous swim in the White House pool = he took the trip, according to close friends, "in his stride" and is ready to start out again.
 Thanksgiving Visit
 After November he hopes to get away for a few days of deep-sea fishing before proceeding to Warm Springs, Ga, where in accordance , with custom of long standing he spends his Thanksgiving with the 1nfantile paralysis suffers at the Warm Springs Foundation.
 Today, he put final approval on the New England tour arrange ments. Tomorrow and Thursday he will carry his fight into Massa- chusetts, Rhade Island and Con- P necticut.
 His first appearance will be at Providence, R. l., where he will deliver an address from the steps of the state capitol tomorrow morn- ing. Then he will motor to Fall River and New Bedford, Mass, and thence to Boston via Taunton and Brockton. At Boston he will speak from the state house steps.
 Worcester Major Speech
 Tomorrow night Mir. Roosevelt will deliver 8 major address from Wor- cester over 8 national ardio hookup. At the conclusion he will board his train for the run into Connecticut where on the following day he will combine politics with government business, the latter being considera- tion of the states flood control problems.
 After a speech at the state capitol he will drive to New Haven for luncheon at the home of Dr. Harvey Gushing, the father of Mrs. James Roosevelt. In the afternoon he will visit Bridgeport, Norwalk, Stamford

dan that they wished to consult
cousel and would let him know the

lar board meeting Tuesday.

ed new bonds for their old ones and

ST. PAUL. MINI. iU.P)-Because
of lack of track space, the st. Paul
Union station employs one OF the
most unusual traffic directing sys-
TENS in the world.
The system inaugurated nearly
10 years ago, has proved so sue
ceSSful that traffic officials from
many other states and even for
eign nations have come here for a
first hand demonstration of its
operation.
Unlike other large terminals
where interlocking plants are used
to switch trains onto property
tracks. the st. Paul station en-
ploys a number of switchmen who
follow instructions from loud
speakers. When a train approaches
the station, the central train di-
recting station is notified by tele-
phone and the train director
broadcaStS routing directions to the
Switchmen.
Supplementing the loud speaker
method of directing traffic is the
use Vi lelduVOSIdpIl SYSTEM WHICH
by an intricate electrical operation
allows messages written on a pad
at one point to be recorded SIM
ultaneously at several other points.
The loud speakers and telautograph
machines are strategically distri-
buted throughout the yards and
the station, thus permitting all
involved to know the exact posi-
ton of trains.
This traffic directing system was

Woman Attorney
Declares Feminine
Slayers Should Die

CHICAGO, Aug. 81 U.P0-Wo-
men law breakers have no right
to expect clemency when their
clashes with society are punishable
by death, Mrs Percilla Randolph,
president of the National Asso-
citation of Women Lawyers, be-
lieveS.
Women fought for equal consider
alton with men in all things and
now they will have to take it, even
if it means the electric chair, she
told members of the Women's Bar
Association of Illinois.
The soft-voiced little women was
discussing the fate of Mrs. Mildred
Bolton. first woman in Illinois to
be sentenced to the electric chair.
Mrs. Bottoms execution has been set
for Oct. 90.
"As long as such devastating
crimes as KIDNAPPING and murder
occur to desolate the homes and the
heart of the world" Mrs. Randolph
said. I'VE must have some punish
ment stronger than imprisonment.
Must Bear Same Yoke
Women fought for place on an
equal basis with men in all kinds
of work They must accept that
place without fear or favor. The
yoke that falls on men must also
fall on women. They can't ask ia
vors of the law"
Mrs. Randolph. who began prac-
ticing law in Los Angeles II years
ago to support an invalid husband
and a small son, avoids criminal
cases herself, preferring to handle
guardianship and trustee affairs.
MANY women don't believe in ca
pital punishment" Mrs. Randolph
said, "but in California we found
it checked kidnapping. The wisdom
of the world has not yet reached
the point where we can abolish
this punishment"
Urges Women Legislators
Women who want to do some
thing more immediate can seek
election to state legislatures and
bring their views to bear on state
laws, she said.
There ought to be more women
legislators and more women on jul
ries," Mrs. Randolph said, COM
mending the Illinois Bar Association
for its successful fight to win this
conquest for women of the state.
"Womeu have a peculiar under
standing of laws which pertain to
the protection of home and children.
They should serve on all Jur1es
hearing trials involving sex pro-
blems, because of their feminine
point of view"
Mrs. Randolph believes the law
an ideal profession for women, ,es-
pecially in view of the many
attractive federal, county and city
positions open to women with legal
training.
