 Hold Conferences
Democrats Assemble Here in Harmonious Session;
 C. O. P in Hartford Dust Senator Bradley in Tilt

Democrats and republicans of the 1887 legislature met last night and made final plans for the session which opened today, The demo- cratic senators convened in Water bury last evening while the Fepub- iican senators and representatives held their eaucuses At the Capitol in Hartford, That the republicans go into the 1887 session badly split was very apparent at the caucus.
 Senator J. Kenneth Bradley, na- ti0nal president of the Young Re- publicans, was defeated for the re~ DubIicaD leadership of the senate m a surprise attack led by the "OId guard. Bradley served as leader during the l03b sesison, but last night his g,o,p, associates dumped" him, electing Senator l.. Gaynor Brennan Of Stamford in his place. The vote was 10 , with one sena- tor voting "blank",
 Old Guard Peeved
 Bradley has incurred the wrath of the "old guard" republicans be- cause of his repeated demands for fl more progressive program of leg isIati0n on Lhe part of the g.o.p, Furthermore, he has been lined up closely with Representative Daniel P, E, Hickey of Stamford who is also drowned on by the "0ld guatd"
 Furthermore, aL last nights cAu- GUS he attempted to gain the house leadership for Representative Stan ley r. Mead of New Canaan, lie WAS opposed 10 Representative Noah SWayne of Darien, fl staupeh "old guard" chieftaip., When the vote was taken on the leader IL was Il lie so Representative John Thorn hill of BfooEfeld, who presided ht the caucus, broke the tie by voting for SWayne,
 No opposition Was experienced by Representative J. M0rtine Bell Of Salisbury in his quest for the speakership. Today, however, the republicans found themselves split worse than ever before in their hiss tory.
 Harmony
 On the other hand last nights meeting of the democrats at The Elton WAS fl very harmonious one. State Chairman J, Francis Smith

Film
Starring
Shirley
BY ANDREW R. KELLEY

HOLLY WOOD, July 3.
IL Folks, come with me to a
Hollywood premiere. One Of
those million dollar openings
of new picture, where
ermines and silver foxes pa
rade in coronation-like glory.
1t is Shirley Temples "Wee
Willie Winkie" at the Carthay
Circle Theater, and it brings
out a constellation of stars
that means undulterated joy to
autograph hounds.
They go to these things be-
cause it is "the thing" to do,
with tickets as hard to get as
an interview with the CLAM
orous Carlo.
What knocks me cold, as our
limousine turns off Wiltshire
Boulevard, is the life size
statue standing in the center
of the street, around which
you must make a left turn.
Shirley Temple and Victor Nc
Laglen, sculptured in the CO.'S
tunes from the picture, and
looking for all the world as
though they were heroes from
the past, immortalized in
bronze.
Then the car proceeds for
500 yards along San Vincente
Boulevard with search-light
beams-at least a score of
them-sweeping the skies, the
sidewalks lined with eager
sight-seers.
AS you near the theater and
the traffic line slows up, flood
lights line the curbing, and the
popular pastime is peering into
the lighted machines and try
ing to see how many stars you
recognize.
Theoter Ideally Located
For Purpose
THE Carthay Circle Theater
l. is ideally adapted to this
whoop-de-do. 1t sets back 100
yards or more from the high
way, and the terrace approach
is flower-lined, with baby spots
making it as bright as day
light.
AS you emerge from the car,
the voice of Eddie Cantor is
heard through the loudspeak-
ers. There he is up on a red
carpeted platform, introducing
celebrities as they arrive. Nine
picture cameras surround the
pop-eyed comic and he keeps
up a running barrage of chat
ter for radio listeners. These
excitement scenes are going
into the new Cantor picture,
"Ali Bahia Goes to Town"
Immediately across from the
entrance they have erected
5000 bleacher seats for those
without tickets. They call 'em
gawk stands and in order to
get a perch in one of them it
is necessary to arrive early.
They were completely filled at
5 o'clock, three hours before
the opening.
Here comes Shirley Temple.
A cute kid all in white, topped
with a white beret hat that
comes to a peak. Baby Duse
shakes hands with Eddie
Cantor and then pours her
little speech into the mike:
This is the biggest day
of my life. It is my first
premiere, and I was pro-
NOTED to the high fourth
grade and got my report
card today"
Mamma Shirley, in a white
ermine coat, gives her pre-
cious an approving pat on the
back.
HollyrOOOd's Mighty
Are Present
HERE comes the great
IL Zanuck, the mighty
Daryl, who is always "yessed"
on the Twentieth Century-Fox
lot. In the Zanuck group are
the Ernest Lubitsches, Con-
stance Bennett, in a royal
blue gown with short sable
coat, Gilbert Roland and the
COUNTESS di Frasso. The Doug
las Fairbanks, Srs., complete
the party.

last resort, with its special
function, that sort Of action
Is believed to be highly de-
sirable. 1t has the sanction
Of long usage"
He defended this policy, as
against proposals to divide the
court into panels.
While he was outlining the i'm
provement processes which the
judiciary has undergone in recent
years, the Chief Justice cited laws
giving the justices wide discretion
in determining what cases they
shall hear. He explained that this
has enabled the court to act as q
unit in dealing with all cases be-
fore it, and added that unit action
is highly desirable.
This observation clashes with
several Congressional recommen-
dationS to divide the high court
into panels to speed its machinery.
He continued:
every member Of the court
feels his personal responsibility
and meets it in each case, save
in the rare instances where .
particular Judge may be dis
qualified.
His speech was delivered as q
tribute to the late Elihu Root,
statesman, attorney, and one-time
Secretary Of War and Of State.

pied for some time because 1t is
possible that large numbers of en-
ployes who take the examinations
will make lower marks than out
side persons. This would result,
the witnesses said, in the present
personnel Of some of the agencies
having to be supplanted by en-
ployes inexperienced in the par
ticular work to which they would
be assigned.
Other Provisions
The committee today, however,
sought to prevent such a Situa-
ton by including in the bill a
provision to the effect that in
cumbents will be given two points
credit for each year of service in
the examination rating. This
credit, however. could not exceed
20 points and would be allowed
only if the incumbent makes an
examination grade of at least 70
per cent.
In specifying that the provisions
Of the bill would be limited to two
years, Representative Ramspeck
explained that this would allow
two-year period for the examina-
tons to be given.
In case any job in the Federal
service, except policy-making and
certain excepted posts is not filled
by a Civil Service employe within
two years, the incumbent would
be blanketed into Civil Service.
Two Exemptions
Another amendment agre
upon today by the committee
would forbid the employment Of
any person in any field office ex-
cept those having voting residence
In the State where the filing office
is located.
The bill as tentatively agreed
upon today also would put all po-
sitions in the Federal service in
the. District under the apportion.
ate law, except those in the Wash.
ington Post office and the Dis
trict municipal government.

Diligent work, during the court
vacation period as well as while it
is in session, maintains the speedy
pace of the high tribunal, Justice
Hughes told his listeners, compris-
ing members of the bench as well
ais the bar. He said:
There are no inOrdinate or
unjustified delays in the Su-
. preme Court. For several years
I have been able to report at
these meetings that the court is
fully up with its work. / am
happy to say that is true Of the

ing the hearing of arguments,

went on. is done with a sincere
sense of the responsibility involved.

FOR HELP
Theaters Throughout
Country May Be
Picketed

HOLLYWOOD, May 6 U.N.S),
Angered by rebuffs from the
American Federation Of Labor,
striking motion picture unions to-
day threatened to turn to the
militant Committee for Industrial
Organization for support in their
war against the film industry.
After q curt rejection Of o
peace proposal offered by the Cen
trail Labor Council here, reigning
A. F. L. body, strike Strateg1sts
today reassembled picket lines
about the Big Ten" studios and
announced the strike is still
on"
Charles Leasing, head Of the
Federated Motion Picture Crafts,
admitted he Is seriously consid-
ering" calling a nationwide boy
colt against all theaterS showing
pictures produced by the studios
under fire.
Leasing said he had received
IAN unselfiSh offer of support"
from the C. 1. o. in case he decides
on this move.
In an answer to kilograms asks
ing the A. F. L. to take action
against the International Alliance
of Theatrical Stage Employees
which strikers claim is siding with
the producers, William Green, A.
F.. L. president, replied the htrike
was regarded as unfortunate"
and that all action was being held
in allegiance.
Meanwhile, as the strike entered
its sixth day, production continued
at the studios despite 5000 pick
cts. Actors and actresses, who are
to decide on a strike stand at a
mass meeting Sunday, continued
to pass unhindered through the
lines.
Studio heads admitted they
we're working under difficulties"
but denied there was any curtsil-
ment in the $255, 100000 annual
output Of films.

OF RISE.
IN TAX RATE
QUIETED
House Group Members
Oppose Higher Levy
on Real Estate

Fear that the real estate tax
rate will be increased next year to
meet partially the anticipated
deficit was quoted today by state
ments of members Of the special
House District subcommittee
studying tax and legislative re-
forms.
Members Of that subcommittee
revealed that they are not symps-
thetic to an increase in the real
estate tax rate here and that they
will work out a program which
will raise sufficient revenue so
that q real estate tax rate boost
will not be necessary.
Larger Deficit Hinted
Representative Ambrose ]. Ken
nedy Cd. of Maryland, chairman
Of the subcommittee, pointed out
that It seems possible at present
that the deficit might reach
100000, instead of the original
estimate Of $6,500,000. He asked
Commissioner Melvin C.. Hazen
what the Commissioners would do
if the new tax program would not
produce enough to meet the de-
ficit, to which the Commissioner
replied:
1--WE would have to raise the
real estate tax rate. That Is all
we could do"
Questioned today as to whether
or not the subcommittee will adopt
a program which would permit
such a situation to develop, Repre-
sentative Everett Dirksen (R.), Of
Illinois, q member of the subcom-
mittee. said:
There is no justification for
saying that an increase in the
real estate tax rate Is likely.
think the subcommittee will take
care of the deficit situation,
which Is somewhat Of an I'M
known quantity as yet"
BROADER TAX BASE
Representative Jack Nichols
CD of Oklahoma, another mem
Der of the subcommittee, expressed
the following view:
81 think it is entirely possible
to raise sufficient additional rev.
enue to meet the deficit, w!.at-
ever T. might be, without increas-
ing the ree,1 estate tax rate.
"If we enact a program at this
session, and it develops that that
program doesn't produce enough
revenue TO meet the deficit, we
will be back here next January
and we can put through what.
ever additional taxes are neceS-
sary."
