TOWELS LOST Al STATE CAPITOL
Disappear So Rapidly That Hereafter Paper Sup-
 plants Cloth Towels

Hartford. Conn, Nov. 1.-(UP)- Because SO many cloth towels are being stolen from public wash-rooms In the state capitol and ott1ce pulio- ings, State Public Works Commis- sior1er Robert A. Hurley today planned a drastic revision in the towel supply system. In a few weeks, Hurley said, all cloth towels-u there are any left"-will be With drawn and paper towels substituted, Cloth towels, he added, would pc re- tailed in the private wash rooms m both state buildings. "The cloth towels" Hurley said, "are disappear ing at an alarming rate"
 It was only four or five months ago that State Comptroller Charles O. Swartz announced his plan to pre- vent towel.stealing. Towels, he pro.- posed, were to come in four different colors, and a different color was to 20 into the mems and womenNS wash rooms in the capitol and state ofiice structures.
 But this suggestion did not come to fruition because the public works department was created and the comptroller was deprived of his su- pervision over wash-rooms.
 Approximately 35,000 cloth towels recently were purchased by the state and, 1t was estimated, several thou- sand of these already have become dish rags, automobile cleaning cloths and cold cream face-wipers.

 days later another cocker spaniel followed of the boys to school The children and teacher thought 1t strange coincidence that both animals cocker spanies ana both named Jack The laters master was Justin Smith After this Miss Mitchell brought in some pictures of dogs and told stories about them much to the delight of her pupils As result the children brought in pictures ana stories about the pets Through the kindness of Mrs. Latin, books from the Town Library about dogs were obtained and before long all the children were reading stories about dogs to their classmates Some of the pu pills enough to draw pictures and print stories for the slower pupils to read Not only did they learn the of many different kinds of dogs but the pupils were able to reproduce stories they had read that brought out a dogs faithfuness intelligence. They learned many new words while the activity was being carried on In one part of the room there "dog pound where the dog warden put all stray dogs In the most recent story the boys and girls learned not to lie to their dogs because if they did he would not trust them To pretend to throw bali, just for fun, would be deceivng the dog After reading story pupil would tell write his own inter- pretation of the story They learned about the Seeing Eye" dogs that trained to lead the blind people in large cities Waterowns school children are going to the dogs, eh what?

|going right ahead on the theory that those laws mean what they say This is rather perilous assump- ton, as 1t is commonly believed the Supreme Court at one time and ans other has shot them full of holes and that the monopoly laws must be amended If they are ever to be enforced.
 Nevertheless, the present Su- preme Court which held that the "steel trust" and other trusts were not illegal combinations In re- stralnt of trade. An antitrust law, as Charles Evans Hughes now chief jlIstice-0nCe said of the Constitution, Is what the justices say 1t Is.
 Justices often disagree or change their minds and 1t is quite possible that a Supreme Court which ha: persuaded itself to validate som, of the most controversial laws passed under the New Deal may also come to decide that the y~,n. erable statutes designed to curt monopoly aren't so toothless after all.
 May Strengthen Laws
 Furthermore, friends of anti. monopoly laws are edified to fine that industrial groups prosecuted oi investigated, even If they think they can beat the governments case jr the courts, automatically become perturbed and sometimes scared tc the point of mending their ways Until quite recently there hadn't been any antitrust prosecutions fo; nearly IS years and such suits as the aluminium and oil actions have i come as Q shock.
 Finally, there is the likelihood that If Jackson and Attorney
 General Cummings lose all their present and prospective antitrust suits, the publicity will spur Con. gress on to providing stronger legislation.
 Congress refused to appropriate more than $475,000 for anti-trust work in the present fiscal year. The oil companies and their officials now on trial at Madison, Wis, have complained that this litigation vii cost them at least $2,000,00O. And the oil case Is but one of severa. which Jackson is tackling.

Courts Frustrate O'Hara Custer

The struggle shifted from the polls to the Narragansett race track through the State Racing Comnis- sion. Because of It's $l,250,000 an- nual profit average with some $400,- 900 for the state in taxes, 1t is e vul- nerable spot and a political issue. And state employees are on duty there every day.
 The first blow at O'Hara's man. agement was struck by raising an issue over disposition of $58,000 held to pay holders of uncashed mutuel tickets. The attorney general ruled O'Hara was within his rights to hold the fund temporarily.
 Then on cnarges of mismanage- ment, O'Hara was asked to step down as managing director. But O'Hara wcn a reversal of the racing commissions ruling in the state Su- preme Court. Next, the track li-

told this correspondent that he had word that machine guns and gns were stored at the track, and claims Pawtucket policemen defied state patrolmen at the track.
 O'Hara,s stand Is that Quinn dis regarded decisions of the court and thereby irnperiled all private busi- ness. o'fIara says the state of inc surrection" which brought the Ynili- tia out was only Q myth.
 Men and women of the state are still puzzled over what all the fuss Is about. Those opposed to garnb. ling insist closing the track is q victory for. the patrons of its mutuel machines--they win because they can't lose their money any more.
 Others, who have watched the struggle between O'fIara and Quinn develop, call 1t the sideproduct of deeper and more significant Issues.

 Washington - The news-print milk distribution, fertilizer and au. tomobile tire industries are all being secretly investigated by Department of Justice officials who suspect that consumers are being gypped through violations of the antitrust laws. The automobile finance com- pany racket" Is also being inves- tigated by 8 Milwaukee federal grand jury. The Aluminium cOm- pany and various big oil corpora
 tions already are being directly prosecuted under the monopoly laws.
 It's all part of a campaign to ap- ply antitrust laws to industries whose products are bought by large masses of consumers. NeWs-print prices were boosted $5 ton the others day and the D. J. is interest," ed in the how and why.
 It also is suspected that farmers are paying unjustified, artificial prices for fertilizer. Federal Trade Commission evidence that "milk trusp companies fixed prices with sO.called producer groups in order to soak consumers are being care- fully sifted.
 And IA tire companies which sub- mltted identical bids to a govern ment purchasing agency-and then resubmitted them after they were tossed out--have had the shock of their lives to learn that their bid ding methods, too are being inves- tigated with view to prosecution.

OHara's last court victory came just three days before the fall race meeting was scheduled. It looked as though the fiery publisher had come out on top. But Quinn still had an old Rhode Island law up his sleeve. He proclaimed O'Hara in rebellion against the state, put the militia in charge of the track, halted all race ing.
 The courts haven't been able to oust the militia. Quinn, snorting aside opposition references to "fIit- Ter" and "Mussolini" tactics, has ds- fled impeachment threats.

Outgrowth of Fued For Party Control

Actually, the trouble has been brew ing since 1884, when o'Hara, wealthy Fall River, Mass, textile manufac- turer, brought his purse to Pawtuck- ct and built the Narragansett track within 60 days after racing was le- galiSed. Later he established a Der1i- ocratic newspaper, the Star-Tribune, in Providence.
 Rhode Island was in the throes of a political upheaval, with the Democrats, trying to remove the last vestiges of 8. o. D. control. Theodore P. Green was governor; Quinn was lieutenant-governor; Thomas P. Me- Coy, state comptroller. Mccoy, a power in Pawtucket and allied with the move that legalized racing. be- galized racing, became @ valued ally of O'Hara, the newcomer.
 When 1t became evident that Green would campaign for the U. s. Senate, Mccoy and Quinn began their battle for control of the party at home. That phase of the strug- gle was decided in 1886, when Quinn won the gubernatorial noi1l- ination over Mccoy.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Jan. 26.
W.P)-A revised international none
tary policy for the United States
may emerge from conferences of a
group of government and private
economic and monetary experts, the
United Press learned today.
The sessions continued today in
the office of Secretary of the Treas
ury Henry Morgenthau, Jr. The
first conference was held yesterday,
and further meetings will be called
during the next few weeks.
The conference, attended by o. M.
w. Sprague, noted international
economist, and Herbert Feis, econ
omic adviser to the state depart
ment, among others, led to conjec-
ture that 1t might have some con-
nection with the visit here of Walter
Runciman, president of the British
board of trade.
Secretary Morgenthau denied the
conferences had any bearing on
Runciman's trade treaty negotia-
tions. He declined to reveal the
details of the discussion. other than
that the meetings were for the pur-
pose of surveying the international
monetary situation-past, present
