WARNER SENT TO
 STATES PRISON

Buell. Warner, 36, was sentenced to two to four years in states prison when he pleaded guilty yesterday afternoon to three counts of burg lary before Judge Earnest c. Simp- son in superior court. Judge Simp- son imposed two to four years on each of the counts but specified that they run concurrently. Warner had previously pleaded not guilty to the burglary counts against him.
 Judge Simpson refused a request by Attorney Vincent Dennis of Hartford that the minimum penalty of one year in prison be given the accused. He also declined to state for the record that he had other charges now lodged against Warner in mind in passing sentence. War rants for Warner are now out in , Torrington, Winsted, Plainville and New Britain.
 Warner was arrested in Hartford for local police and charged with breaking into three local homes and stealing jewelry. Part of the jewelry was found on his person when he was placed under arrest.
 Tiny automobiles are now the craze in India.

Under plant reserve plan, the only way in which an employe can miss out in benefits is for the whole state fund to run dry, which is ex- tremely unlikely.
 Proponents of the pool plan claim this point is the telling blow in its favor as 1t hits at a vital spot which of the plans can pay when 1t comes to pinch Thus, when the reserve fund reaches seven and one-half per cent of the employers payroll, the en- ployer's contribution is normally re- duced. His contribution is waived entirely when his reserve reaches about 12 to 15 per cent of his pay roll.
 Under the pool plan, all employ CTS contribute the same percentage of salary without merit rating, or determine their contributions by ad- justments under the merit rating plan.
 These adjustments may be made in two ways: first, by having the contributions varied by industry and secondly, on the basis of the employers own experience" by fig uring out a company reserve for each employer.
 And, most important, there is no pool plan on the market which elim- inataes contributions by employers
 Because of the gradually dimin- ishing payments under the plant re- serve plan, it is directly to the em- ployer's benefit to reduce unem- ployment in his place so that he can build up an adequate insur- ance fund quickly.
 In other words, by running his plant as efficiently as possible, the employer can save himself money in the long run. Backers of the pool plan, however, raise this point.
 Doesn't an employer always try to run his plant as efficiently and economically as possible? Why should he wait for an unemploy- ment insurance plan to do it2
 Briefly, then, it is believed that a pool plan covers the relief needs of the state more completely than a plant reserve plan because the fund will last longer; a minor depression will not wipe the fund dry, while employers reserves might fade away.
 The great point in the favor of the company reserve plan is that 1t brings direct pressure on the em- ployer to regularize employment for his own benefit.
 Labor groups like the pool plan over all others. They feel more se- cure under statewide fund than under smaller, segrated funds.
 None of the members of the spec- ial unemployment commission will ventur can opinion as to which oi the two plans Connecticut may adopt.
 But from private converse tions, it is believed the group will recom- mend to the General Assembly next December a pool plan, or some vari- ation of it.

Pleasantries Swapped

Blanton asked Zioncheck to with draw the "heckling interpolation" but he refused. Boylan complained that Zioncheck had "squlrted re- marks" into his speech, inferring that unless the interpolation could be expunged it would look bad when he sent copies around to his con- stitutents. Debate was as follows:
 BOYLAN: My admiration, my respect, and my love for the gentle man are 50 great that I would not put a stone in his way, but I do say that if he is left to himself he is likely to squirt himself out of his seat, and would not like to see that happen"
 ZIONCHECK: '"Mr. Speaker, a point of order: When squirt my self out of my seat, where will I squirt myself and who cares?"
 BOYLAN: "The gentleman will probably squirt himself into that oblivion from which he emanated." Copyright 1896, NEA Cervice, Incl
