THREE MEN DIED
 FROM POISONING

Cleveland, April 22-(UP) = In a one-room attic they shared, three men were found dead today amid evidences of a struggle against either food poisoning or coal gas fumes.
 Their room was the same in which two of the victims were overcome by natural gas fumes and a third man was killed a year ago.
 The victims: Stanley Kovalik, 55, 8 WPA laborer who was to have started back to work today on a road project. Walter Kociencki, 42, a foundry laborer; Max Boyinslsi, 55, WPA worker.
 They were found in their tightly closed one-room home over garage by the propietor of bar below.
 Police Chemist David L. Cowles said he believed the men were vic- tirns of food poisoning or of fumes from their ancient combination coal gas stove in which coal embers still glowed.
 The manner of death suggested food poisoning. The victims appar- ently had writhed in vain. Two were entwined in bed clothing on the floor as if they had struggled to reach the single door of their dingy room.

RAILROAD PLANS
 MORE NEW CARS
"New Haven" Line Hopes to Beat All Purchases
 Since Depression

As a result of its recent order for 50 new streamlined passenger coaches, the New Haven Railroad will have the largest fleet of post depression, single unit passenger single-unit passenger equipment to be found anywhere in the country, according to Railway Age, national trade publication of the railroad industry. Single unit" in this sense means cars capable of separation from one anther as distinguished from cars built as units of a single train, such as the three articulated units of the New Haven's Comet"
 The new coaches will be added to the 50 similar, handsome, stream lined cars bought back in 1884 and 50 others bought last year to form the largest fleet of up-to-date coaches arnassed by any railroad in the country in recent years. The New Haven Railroads order for 50 new coaches last year was the larg- est placed by any American rail- road for similar vehicles. Orders for a like number of cars were also placed by the Union Pacific, but the latter's new group of passenger ve- hicles included dining and kitchen cars as well as coaches.
 Coaches added to the New Haven's rolling stock last year consisted of 20 cars having a seating capacity of 84, and 30 having seating cap- acity of 92. The coaches were alike in all other respects. They were 82 feet 4 1-2 inches in length and weighed 100000 pounds each.
 The passenger cars just ordered will be similar in size and seating capacity, and, in fact, will be made by the same manufacturer, the Pullman. Standard Car Manufacur- ing company. On the exterior they will follow the same lines ano decoratoin as the 100 coaches previ. ouly ordered since the depression Inside, the spacious seating ar. | rangement will be duplicated tt provide riding comfort. The car, will be conditioned and will bO provided with iinnlovable doubl windows to provide the insulation from exterior temperatures whicl air-conditioning requires, and Q the same time to insure cleanliness Ample night illumination will b. provided by indirect lighting fix lures. The seat upholstery and in' terior decorations will be like those of the other new coaches.
 Purchase of the new equipment permitted by the United States Dis trict Court, is in keeping with the New Haven's policy of providing lightweight, streamlined cars to enable greater operating speed and consequently faster passenger train schedules; and of providing maxi mum safety and comfort for pas sengers at the new operating speed The coaches although much lighter than the old variety are built of metal which makes them more sturdy, comfortable and durable The entire fleet of 150 such cars is most modern in design through out.

FIELDS INSPECTED
 FOR CORN BOXER
Staff of l2 Commence Off. cial Check-Up Tomorrow
 For Dreaded Menace

This Is the final week for the clean up of cornfields on account of the European corn borer. On April 20, twelve men under direction of M. P zappe of the Agricultural Ex- pertinent Station at New Haven will stest a tour of inspection of farm premises throughout the infested sections of the state.
 Owners of land that has not been taken care of in compliance with Connecticut Statute 2125, will be re- ported to the prosecuting attorney of their community. MT. zappe says that owners are responsible for their property whether they occupy the premises or not. Such was the rul- ing made by the Attorney General. Persons brought to court and found guilty must not only clean up their gardens, but must pay the court costs and a fine as well. Since the clean up is a regular annual per- formance in Connecticut and the law has been in force for several years, ignorance Is no excuse, he states.
 The larvae of the corn borer are overwintering in old stalks, cobs and stubble of corn and certain other fleshy stemmed plants, Toward the latter part of May they begin to emerge as moths and to lay eggs. The corn borers are menace to corn, dahlia and potato gardens in Connecticut, and have been found infesting many other plants.
 Disposal consists of burning or burying six inches underground. Corn stalks that are needed for feed may be run through the ensilage cutter so that all pieces measure less than one inch in length.

HEALTH PAGEANT
 PLANNED IN MAY
Community Resources Bee ing Studied to Promote
 ing Affair

During the next six months, a study of community resources in Connecticut will be made with the object of promoting, wherever pos- sible, greater opportunities for child health, the state department of health announced today in its week. ly bulletin which was the first of a series devoted to the subject of child health, leading up to the annual celebration of May day, designated by presidential proclamation as Child Health Day.
 The first day of May has been cel- ebrated with festivals and pageants for more than 2,000 years, the bull letin said, and In the United States 1t marks the climax of the years activities devoted to the well-being of youth. On that day, those who have been responsible for promot- ing child health are commended. and every thoughtful person pledges his support to the establishment of new opportunities for spreading child health.
 Parents were urged in the bulletin to make a most worth while present to their children on this birthday of health for children" by giving them the assurance of health and happiness for future years. Impor- tant in such an assurance is the provision for a medical examination of each child at a specified time each year and at time near the child's birthday. It was suggested that, If a medical examination in the past year has been overlooked, May Day might well be used for this purpose. The value of regular medical examinations and, the need of adequate health facilities for child health work is so recognized that many communities devote much interest and generous resources ir providing them. and recurring May Days have stimulated public inter- est in providing facilities for the advancement of the child and the protection of his health. In this endeavor, public spirited citizens the medical profession and othel health leaders have joined forces
 Just as the health of children should show improvement in sue. ceeding years. so must the facilities for promoting child health be ex- tended each year. A study of com munity resources will be made ill the coming six months with the ob- Ject of promoting gteater.opportuni- ties for child health in Connecticut

FREE SWING FOR
 CHILDREN URGED
Parents Advised to Permit Sufficient Freedom in
 Riddles Problems

For the development of adequate personalities in children one of the most important factors is to perimt them sufficient freedom to work out many of their own prob- lens and not to impose upon them the interests, ambitions and needs of the parents, according to Dr. James M. Cunningham, director of the Bureau of Mental Hygiene of the State Department of Health, who today pointed out ways in which parents tend to interfere with proper mental development in childhood.
 It is incumbent upon parents 10 plan their chtldren's welfare, check their needs and to supply recrea- tional and health measures neces- sary to well developed and happy childhood, Dr. Cunningham said, but particularly to be avoided are those situations In which parents through their own ambitions and de- sires try to make the children into the kind of persons that they, them- selves, would like to be or into the kind of children that the parents would like to have them be in order to satisfy some particular desire oll the part of the parents.
 r Many times the father wants hi: son to enter the same profession that he is in, or the parents want the child to have the education that they missed, so that they may over- come their own feeling of inferiority with regard to an education. These desires may be imparted to the chil- dren without reference to the lat tef's ability to accept and be inter- ested in this type of educatoia. Il the child tries to carry out the par erts' ambitions, he may be faced with 8 very unhappy school situa- tion: if he rebels and refuses. he is in position of conflict within his family. Neither makes for 8 happy well-rounded personality.
 Mothers are sometimes reluctant to permit a child to "grow up." A child's assumption of independence Is a healthy sign, but, regardless of the reasons, the mother may need to have the child dependent upon her and may thereby hinder his devel- opment in various ways, such as. keeping the child home from school on minor excuses, or refusing to allow him to play with other chil- dren in the. neighborhood on the excuse that he may be hurt or that the. other children are unfit asso- ciates. Keeping the child in the house close to the mother tends to keep him infantile and to prevent development of his personality, pr. Cunningham stated
 Likewise, the child is adversely affected when parents constantly make excuses for him, blaming the teacher for school failures blaming othe rchildren for the child's failure to get along with them. exaggerat- ing illness by oyer- protection and by withholding him from games and other activities which would be beneficial to him.
