Back Parts Of Wage
 Cuts Promised Here
Many Local People, State Employees, to Benefit By Restoration of Half of Sashes Recently Sanctioned

Many Waterburians are among the 7:500 employees of the State of Connecticut who will receive back parts of wage cuts to which they were subjected in 1883. Restoration of one-half of the pay slashes for all state employees has been voted by the state board of control and fi- nance. The slashes were from 8 to 16 per cent, which means that the portions received back will range from four to eight per cent.
 Affected by the restoration are all those employed in the various courts and departments centered in the county court house on Kendrick avenue, as well as the custodial and laboring forces employed there. Others receiving back half of the cuts they took three years ago are employees of the local branch of- flee of the motor vehicle depart ment, and employees of the local branch of the state employment service.
 Educators Included
 Also benef1ttlng by the restora- ton will be local men and women employed at the capitol in Hartford, and Waterburians working with various state agencies as inspectors, clerks and the like. Still others to benefit are those employed at the several minor branches of state de- partments in the city, such as the office of the state board of educa- ton here.

Congressman Hopes to Le- galize Bridge Across
 P0quetanuck Cove

Washington, Jan. 18- Congress- man J. Joseph Smith of the fifth district of Connecticut introduced a bill in the house Thursday which seeks to legalize Q bridge already constructed across Poquetanuck Cove at Ledyard, Connecticut, and to grant to the state of Connecti- cut consent to maintain the bridge and approaches thereto. The bill will eliminate a legal technicality which has arisen in connection with the acceptance of the struc- ture by the war department.
 The original plans for the struc- ture were approved by the war de- partment but while construction was being carried on few minor changes were made without thA approval of the department and in order to meet the regulation, Congressman Smith has introduced this measure at the request of the state officials.
 The bill has been referred to the house committee on interstate and foreign commerce and is expected to be passed before the present session of congress comes to an end. ....

Young People Asked
 For Church Support
St. Josephs Youthful Parishioners Have Slipped Up
 on Obligations in Past States Elder Members
BROOKLYN NEWS

Prominent Lithuanian residents .. the city, among whom were the leading business and professional men of the Brooklyn district, held surprise gathering last night in the basement of St. JOseph's Con- gress avenue school, to formulate plans to assist Rev. Joseph J. Val antiejus in his plans to reduce the parish mortgage during the current year. The meeting was in charge of former Deputy Sheriff John w. Jenusaitis.
 Attorney Clarence V. Balanda outlined the affairs and condition of the parish, which have brought about the present situation which requires more financial support, es- pecially from the younger element woh are now being asked to con- tribute regularly in order the pro- gram of Father Valantiejus may be continued. In the past the young people have not been fulfilling their parish obligations and the time is now at hand when they should do what their parents have been do- ing for years. Those who attended the meeting asserted they were not intending to ask for something that could not be afforded, but felt that Father Valantiejus needs assistance and they have taken 1t upon them selves to boost his desires in order he will not have to carry on an ex- pensive campaign to have justified obligations carried out.
 Although many of those who att tended the meeting have served as officials on committees for various parish affairs they announced that as @ separate unit, they will leave the sponsorship of parish affairs to youths, while they will act as boost CTS, lending the benefit of their ex- perience when 1t is needed and giv- mig financial assistance and solici- tation work. It was explained that tie aims of the boosters will be to make an effort to assist in the suc- cess of any affair which is given for the parish.
 Besides Mir. Jenusaitis and Attor- ney Balanda, others who spoke were Attorney Joseph P. Alishausky. president of the K. of L., Dr. Frank J. Hill, William Kenausis. John w. Stokes, John March, John Kairis. Professor Alexander Aleksis, Charles 6akalauskas and John A. Stokes. The attitude of the group was ex- pressed by Rev. John J. Kripas, who was appointed as committee, to inform Father valantiejus of the action taken.

with the commissioner contention that traffic officers are prone to consider their jobs in making ar- rests.
 Enforcement of traffic regulation here, he declared, has suffered no noticeable lapse. A perusal of the city court docket on any average day would tend to confirm the su- perintendent's statement. A ma Jority of the cases, almost invari- ably, are arrests on charges of motor vehicle violations.
 Time For Change
 Speaking before the citizens traffic committee here Thursday night, Commissioner Connor stated that minor violations cause more accidents than reckless driving and that "the time has come when we have got to change our attitude to- ward enforcement of these minor points and back up the police and the courts"
 At this point he made his state- ment, later challenged by Mayor Frank Hayes, about the laxity of police in enforcing traffic regula- tions.
 Local city court prosecutors also, are said to be resentful of Commis- sioner Connor's remarks about cases being fixed" He said that in some cases police knew that Q case would be "sidetracked" by the prosecutor and consequently would not make an arrest. "The time has come to put a stop to fixing Of cases," Commissioner Connor was quoted as saying. We must insist that lawyers practice law instead of attempting to fix cases"
