Continued from Page 1) eric Walcott today asked the state board of finance and control for 940,3i5.16 @ year to care for TO Wat erbury children now being supported by that city. Waterbury was the last city to turn over care of It's depend ent children to the state under an arrangement whereby the city pays three.tenths of the amount for sup port. The children now are in board- ing houses and will remain there. Thirty are under six years of age. Finance Commissioner Edward F. Hall said the appropriation was not made but would be shortly.
 Awards Contract
 The board authorized awarding of Q contract for electrical wiring at Connecticut State College to T. J. Elehan, New London. whose low bid was $5080. It also authorized crea- ton of Q position of factory super intendent at state prison to super vise the manufacture of clothing un- der provisions of the Cooper-Hawes act.
 An additional appropriation of $l50,000 to the highway department, to be taken fro mthe highway fund, was allowed for snow removal. Com mission John A. Macdonald ex- plained the s350 900 year fund per- mitted by the legislature had been exhausted.
 Other Orders
 The rivers, harborS and bridges commission was authorized to pro- ceed with repair of the state pier at New London, which will cost ST. TOO. A PWA grant of $22,604 made possible immediate work.
 An additional appropriation of 5000 was allowed the state borad Of health to purchase serum. Dr. Stanley II. Osborn said the increase in contagious diseases during the winter drained the department of It's supply for which the general as- sembly appropriated 26,000.

emption from $i 000 to $500 and married man from $2,500 to $2,000 would raise an additional $45, 900, 900.
 Exemptions Untouched
 Leaving exemptions at the pres- ent level and increasing the normal tax rate from four to six per cent would raise $i20 000, 900 new revenue.
 If the exemptions were lowered and tax raised at the same time, $l86 ,000, 900 more revenue would flow in.
 Lowering surtax exemptions from $4, 900 to 5000 and increasing rates in surtaX brackets accordingly up to $i00,000 income would yield $226,- GOO, ,000 additional.
 Combination of all three individu- al income tax law changes would bring in $446 100000.
 "Thesc are just possibilities and are not recommended rates" Hill made clear.
 Apparently in behalf Of the treas ury, which objected to some inter- pretations Of the proposed corporate surplus tax, chairman Hill asserted that the tax would have no effect at all on present accumulated sur puses which he estimated at $l0,- GOO ,000, GOO.
 "There would be no indictment at all under the tax to distribute pres ent surpluses," he said. What the plan proposes to reach is current earnings beginning fin the present or next taxable year"

on less evidence, yet something about Hayes manner, his facial ex- presSions, his statements, caused Price to postpone from day to day presenting his case to the grand jury. It was not that Price believed him innocent, or doubted for mos ment that his evidence justified an indictment. For Q reason he him. self could not define, he procrasti- mated.
 Last Thursday a bandit held up a restaurant. Trafflc Patrolman Mor- rissey chased and caught him, the gun still in his hand. This man gave his name as John Farley. His pistol was tested by ballistic experts who found 1t fired a bullet identical with that which killed Fitzpatrick. Confronted with that evidence, Farley confessed.
 Farley isn't my name" he said, but I'm going to keep on using 1t because I don't want my parents to know killed 8 man."
 Farley--tall - blond wearing Q lumber jacket, was placed in line- up of policemen, prisoners, and wis., itors. The same 10 grocery clerks were brought in. They all identi- fled him without question. All were impressed by the lumberjacket.

 "Tell Yawkey think he's the greatest sport in baseball, and that If he will be so kind as to buy me, I will guarantee him a pennant," Dean said.
 Dean b holding out for $40,000. He denied he was pulling Babe Ruth" and reasserted "the money must be waiting for me before l sign" His failure to go to Cuba is attributable to his susceptibility to sea sickness" he said.

 Knock Deans Block on
 Davis, with whom Dean has been at odds for some time. was quoted as saying in Havana that he planned to knock Dizzy's block of the minute he steps into the club house"
 The trouble started some weeks ago when Dizzy announced he never again would pitch to Davis. a statement he supported with ale legged incidents of poor Judgment on the catcher's part.
 Davis responded at the time that he would "do my talking to Dean. Cardinal officials criticized Dean for the incident.
 Today, Davis, aroused by the ap- parent effort of Dean to oust him from the team, said he Twas ready to fight for my job and family"
 HeTl Throw Punches
 Informed of that statement, Dizzy said today, "I'll be in their throw ing punches as well as I can pitch. Let Davis start something, and then Ole Dig will be in there throwing punches"
 He then dismissed the Davis in- cident to discuss other members of the club. Anxious to get going on his daily round of golf, Dean threatened to fight all three -- Hickey, Frisch and Davis--if nec- esary.
 It was believed that show down even to the extent of & fight, would meet the full approval of other mem. bers of the team, chiefly Ito put Dizzy Dean in his place."

Grace or God" Has SnDed Man From Electric Chair

New York, March 5.--(UP)--As- sistant District Attorney Saul Price spoke feelingly today about the Grace of God" But for that, he might have sent an innocent man to the electric chair. Price will ask the grand jury to free George Hayes, Q frank, smiling youth of 2l, who for . month since his arrest and despite every effort of police to obtain confession, has maintained himself innocent of murder. He will ask the jury to indict John Farley, 18, of the same size and general appearance as Hayes, for murder. Farley confessed the killing of which authorities had believed Hayes guilty.
 James Fitzpatrick, 26, manager of a chain grocery store, was visited by a bandit, last Nov. 27. He resist- ed and was killed. Persons who saw the escaping killer gave police de- scription that tailed with that of Q bandit who had held up more than 10 groceries. The chief points of the description were: "Tall = Blond
 - wearing lumber jacket. On Jan. 28 6 detective arrested Hayes on suspicion. He fitted the descrip- ton and he did not give a good acc count of himself. Hayes was placed in lineup with other prisoners, policemen, and visitors to police headquarters.
 One of the grocery store clerks was brought in. Without hesitation, he picked Hayes. Another was brought in. He picked Hayes. That's the manl That's the lum- berjack0t." This kept up until 10 grocery clerks had identified Hayes. Then police said to him: "All right. Come clean" Hayes didn't. He was questioned for many hours. He protested again and again that not only was he not bandit, but had never touched Q gun in his life. Price questioned him, confronted him with the overwhelming .eyi- dence. It made no impression.

Wool tops were quiet at steady prices. Worsted and wool en yarn prices held well but the out- look for knitting yarns was uncer- tain.
 Cotton mills barely maintained volume at last years rate. Gray goods were rather slow, but broad- CT interest in finished goods was noe ticed.

  Leather producers and distributors reported lack ol orders and tanners found business more than seasonally slow. The hide market was dull with little price change.

WOOL MARKET.

Bosson, MaTcn 5--UP)--. Trade was very dull on greasy combing domestic wools, according to today's report of the U. s. Department of Agriculture.
 While the supply offered was ex- tremely limited, there were few calls for the small quantities avail able. Fall Texas wool was moved in moderate volume at 78-78 cents, secured basis. Good twelve months Texas wools and average French comging GAS and finer territory wools in original bags were quoted around 90 cents, secured basis. but this was only a nominal price as there was no business to establish a market.
