that consideration be given to the establishment of state fund, and that from this fund the medical, surgical, hospital and nursing ex- penses be paid for every resident of Connecticut injured by an automo- bile upon a public highway in the state of Connecticut in a sum not exceeding three hundred dollars. The maximum of three hundred dollars is suggested but 1t IS known that in many cases the damage will exceed hundred dollars In order that the fund may insure the im- mediate and continued treatment of injured persons, the suggestion is that 1t be administered expediti- ously and without delay and, par ticularly, without any reference to whether there is fault or ultimate recovery on the part of the injured person. As has been previously in- .dicated, if it were necessary to wait for a determination as to fault or liability, then the injured persons would be deprived of the essential, immediate and continu- ous treatment.
 Such bill ought to contain pro- vision that the injuring motorist be required to compensate the fund for the amount paid by 1t on behalf of the injured person and that, on failure of the injuring motorist to compensate the fund that the h- cense og registration-or both-of the motorist and his vehicle should be suspended and, in the event of his continued failure for 8 definite period of time to compensate the fund then that the license or reg istration certificate - or both should be cancelled and that the plates should be taken away from the injuring motorist.
 The amount of money so paid from the state fund should be re- turned to the state fund by the in- turing motorist before any payment is made to the person for whose benefit the expenditure was made from the state fund.
 Recommendation No. 2
 It is further recommended that section 62l-C, which begins with this statement-"To entitle any person who shall have violated any of the provisions of (certain named sec tions) to receive or retain a motor vehicle operators license or cer- tificate of registration of any motor vehicle, said commissioner shall re- quire from such person proof of financial responsibility .," be by inserting after the word "who" the words "in the opinion of the commissioner of mtoor vehicles" as the commission feels that, as at

ably each carry an officer and a patrolman. The remainder of the cars will have only receiving equip ment, over which they can be in- structed by headquarters.
 It is probable that several fire department cars will be radio equipped, thereby enabling close cooperation between police and fire departments when danger ous fire is reported. Should the fire department decide to join with the police radio system, the cars to be equipped would probably be those of the chief, the deputy chief and the fire marshal.
 All police motor patrol cars will be radio equipped, as well as the patrol wagon, the vice squad car, the detectives car, and squad cars used by the department. Police Superintendent William J. Roach is enthusiastic over the possibil- ities of radio as police aid.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-12-12

Tentative plans for Waterbury's new police radio system, which will be placed in operation. next year, call for a combined 0ne-way and two-way system which will make possible the closest cooper ation between headquarters and motor patrolmen in every section of the city. Police officials are studying several makes of equip ment and have not yet made final choice as to which type will be used to service this city.
 Three or more police department cars will be used as "key" cars and will be equipped with two-way radio systems, which will enable their occupants not only to re- ceive messages from the an- nouncer at headquarters, but also to report back to him and even to talk to occupants of other two- way cars through their sending equipment. These cars will prob

the respective leaders may have
had an influence.
Certainly those who have deter
mined policy ON each side have
demanded full surrender Of the
other, and this was a price for
peace that no one was willing to
pay.
The future lies with industrial
unionism, because machinery and
large-scale industry are inevitably
breaking down craft skills and
erasing craft lines. Only indus
trial unions can cope with TIE
giants of the steel, automobile,
and rubber industries. The organi-
cation drive and energy is on the
side of the Industrial unionists.
For these reasons, if the breach
cannot be healed, all progressives
will support the industrial union
group. Yet the labor movement is
in for a period of civil strife, with
its attendant weaknesses at time
when the danger of war and fas-
cism are very great. In the light
of recent European history, labor
can i'll afford to take the chance.
1t will remain a matter of re-
greet, on the part of all who have
labor's interests at heart, that
there was not enough statesman
ship on both sides of the contro-
versy to work out reasonable
compromise.

whether Roosevelt will go to the
right or to the left.
Since he has been overwhelm-
ingly returned to office and is.
now serving his second term,
some argue that he has nothing
more to fear from the reaction
airy groups.
It is equally true, however, that
he has nothing more to- fear from
labor, for workers flocked to his
banner without asking questions,
and without obtaining pledges for
future legislation. s
Roosevelt''s, measures, in the
past, have been of two types, one
designed to promote recovery and
the other to effect reforms. Since
he now proclaims that recovery is
here, despite the ten millions of
unemployed, we can expect an end
to that type of measure. The pre-
sent slashing of WPA is a case
in point. 80
Reform measures, as in the
past, will run up against the SUI
preme Court barrier. True, the
average age of the justices is now
II years, and Roosevelt may have
chance to make several replace
Inents during the coming years.
One can hope that. the. reactionary
justices, not the liberal ones, will
be the ones to die.
This, however, is slim hope
upon which to rely. Labor would
be in a far stronger position had
it frightened all old-party polite
ans by strong vote for labor's
