Publishers of many newspapers throughout Connecticut gathered last night at the Hotel Bond In Hartford and made plans for . pro- gram to mako residents of Connec. ticut "state-minded". The confer. ence was sponsored by the Connec- ticut Publicity commission and was presided over by Willard 3. Rogers, chairman of the group appointed a year ago by Governor Wilbur L. Gross to advertise Connecticut not only to its cEtl1ens but 70 the resi- dents of the other forty-seven states of the Union.
 Others attending the conference were. E. Vincent Maloney, publisher of the Democrat, Q member of the governors commission, Thomas o, Perkins, executive secretary of the state publicity commission, Charles E, Rolfe, general information man. aRer of the Southern New England Telephono company, who rcpreSent- cd Vice. President Brooks of the same concern, who is Q member ot tho publicity commission, George Gould of the New Haven Register, Orin c. Andrews of tho New Lon. don Day, Leslie w, Peters and Ray mond c. Loring of the Southern New England Telephone company, Henry J, Bowling of tho Democrat, Henry H. Conland and George B. Armstead of the Hartford Courant, and John w. Colton of the Hartford Times,
 Ward V. Duffy of tho Hartford Times, Frank Rinn of the New Ha. ven Journal Courier, Thomas and Ronald Ferguson of the Manchester Herald, Johnstone Vance of the New Britain Herald, Rudolph Hennick of tho Waterbury American -Republi- can, Inc, Raymond J. Tanning Of tho American and Edward J .Oles, treasurer of the Bond Hotels,
 The gist of Chairman Rogers' ads dress to the gathering of publicity and newspaper exec. utlVes was that Connecticut should realize It's own worth and that the residents of the state should Adver~ tise It's attractiveness AS Q place to vacation In or sot up business or manufacturing houses for proSpec- tive residents elsewhere. MT. Rogers pointed out that Conneoticuts hotels have done Q 2i per cent greater business this year than during 1885, apparently duo to the publicity work now being done by the com mission, and that there has heon

by Cosgrave and his junta fin their heyday, are stM being enforced by Eamon Do Valera and his so.called Republican Government in the Free State, while in the north, Craiga- von has his Special Powers Act". The real purpose Of these acts is to prescribe all loyal Republicans who dare in any way to oppose them.
 Several I. R. A. men have been and are being arrested every day and are given Q mock trial before the military tribunals and consequently sentenced to terms of from six months to ten or more years in quite 0 few cases. The only crimes those guilty of is that they have remained loyal to the Irish Republic proclaimed in 1916 and ratified by Dali Eireann in 1919. Hundreds of Irish Republicans are ill-treated and persecuted simply because they will not recognize the right of the two partition governments to enforce their rule upon them. We think that every person of Irish birth or parentage should endeavor to try, if possible, and attend this meeting, so that they may register their pro- test against these horrible coIldi. tions in the land which we all love SO dearly.

PARKING GAR !. IS EXPENSIVE
Novice Driver Is Arrested After North Main
 Collision

Mike Coetantino, 20. of 160 Orange street, who discovered today that parking . car between two others Is one of the tricks which 0 novice driver should not attempt, will ex- plain it all in city court tomorrow morning. Mike was arrested by Pa- trolman Hlll Mccarthy shortly be- fore 10 o'clock this morning on North Main street after he had failed to correctly judge the dis- tance between two points.
 Booked at police headquarters on Q charge of violating the motor vehicle law, Mike told Lieutenant James Mulville. desk officer, that he was taking driving lessons.
 Apparently confident that the pupils was progressing satisfact ctorily, his instructor, Mike said, stood on the sidewalk and directed Mikes efforts to park the machine. Wheth- CT 1t was faulty direction or bad Judgment on Mikes part, the anna teur driver was unable to say, but there was Q collision. Resultant damage, Mike estimated was about $50.
 "Was tho instructor in the car with you when 1t happened9" asked Lieutenant Mulville. Mike said he was not. But in the future, he will

A public mass meeting of local Irish residents and Americans of Irish decent who arc deeply inter. ested in the flrtherance of complete independence for Ireland will be held in the Garden Hall, Waterbury, on Thursday evening, August 2T, at o:30 o'clock.
 The meeting will be addressed by Q prominent Clan.na- Gael off. cial from New York and also by an Irish Republican Army envoy from Dublin, Ireland, who is in the United states. Both of these gen. tlemen are in . position to give first hand information as to politi- eel and economic conditions in the "old country.
 The purpose of this meeting is to evoke Q more timely interest in Irish affairs at the present time, in Ire- land. To fully appreciate its i'm. portance one must realize that at the present moment not with- standing reports to the contrary Ireland Is not free, but is still being held against her will, within the British Empire by England with the aid Of Q few of her willing "minions" in tho two "statelets" north and south, which were carved out by England and forced by her on Ireland in 1922.

| noted here in Connecticut an m" crease of $Se0.000 In gasoline safes taxes SO far this year.
 Concerning the commissions cam paign pointing to Connecticut as "a better place to live in," MT. Rogers told tho group that 0l towns of the state would have been bankrupt If it were not for the taxes upon prop critics of summer residents.
 "Even before the commission was formed" he stated, "the state waS receiving taxes on $2o0, ,000, 900 hold ings of these part tiIno residents. ex- elusive of camps. hotels and the like.
 "A survey of what has happened since tho commission began boost- ing Connecticut as Q residential state. indicates that in nine towns 7AS people have moved into Con- nectieut during the year, buying eS,- 100000 worth of property"
 In connection with tho third phase of the commissions caIi- paign, offering Connecticut as "a better place to do business in," Mir, Rogers said that the state has been 'puhllclzed constructively."
 We have been exceedingly care- full to avoid tho error of inviting new industries into Connecticut. to locate in towns where tho residents were not skilled in the trades called for by the new bustneses,' he said. "Too many communities have brought in industries which could offer no work to residents, thus per. petuAting the same relief rolls"
 Interest In Train Idea
 "Just recently we sponsored, with tho approval of the governor, tho Connecticut Chamber of Commerce and the State Manufacturers' As. sociation, tho idea of the Connecti- cut Industries Train," MT. Rogers continued, pointing out that this Is tho first time the Connecticut Chamber has joined in sponsoring any project of this kind.
 "Already people arc writing In from everywhere, for the itinerary of this traln," ho informed the meeting. "In visiting lS states, tho train will 90 Q long way in resell- ing Connecticut industry in Q dig nliied and constructive way. Ver- mont and Maine have these trains and aS Q result of the Maine trains trip, tho exporting of AristooE County potatoes increased 10 times"
 "eut ln addition to making the country Connecticut. ut.consciouS'. l hope youIl agree that residents of the state must be made 'Connectt- cut.conscious', too." Mfr. Rogers said, recounting how "a prominent Hartford businessman had returned from Los Angeles, telling about tho wonderful public buildings, when ho admitted that he had never been inside tho State Library or the County Building here."
 "You oil remember how we used to say GO West, Young Man." the chairman continued. "Now we want to make our young people conscious of the opportunities for them right here at home.
 Investment Pointed Out
 "When c boy or girl reaches the ago of i9, the state, tho city and his parents have Q $i6,00o investment ln him, and we want to build up that investment on the ono hand, and mako him realize that ho can succeed here in Connecticut, on the other.
 And If we can make tho young people Connecticut conscious, we have licked the problem of doing tho same for their parents"
