ASSEMBLY MAY
 BE FORWARDED
Continued from Page D

This bill affecting 100000 Con- tlecticut motorists, would double the present $200,000 yearly revenue. Salaries of 96 men, engaged full pr part time in the service at 28 cities and towns, are now being paid from the 25-cent fee.
 Word has seeped into capitol corridors that the $200, ,000 additional revenue as the result of the present bill. if passed, would be used to form a fancy-attired highway motor patrol, desired vainly two years ago by Motor Vehicles Commissioner Michael A. Connor.
 Need Revenue
 All the commissioner and those interested with him in the venture need is revenue such as the present bill would raise. Under existing statute, it is pointed out by legal minds in the assembly, the com- missioner, his deputy and "any salaried inspector of motor vehicles designated by the commissioner, when engaged in the discharge ot the duties of his office, shall have, in any part of the state, the same authority to make arrests for viola tion of the statutes relating to motor vehicles and to enforce said statutes as sheriffs, policemen or constabies have in their respective juriSd1c- tien."
 After the committee on motor ve- hicles voted Il to 6 for the bill tine motor vehicle commissioner said the increased revenue would make for "better service" and greater convenience" for motorists. At the hearing, it was said the money would be used for uniforms for in- specters and permanent buildings at inspection lanes. Since 1t was learned, highway patrol force ot 75 men, both democrats and repub- licans, is planned.
 Not Much Opposition
 The lecal-option district court bill was not expected to run into much opposition in either branch of the assembly. Leaders of both parties have publicly announced their n- tention of supporting it. All agree 1t is far cry from a real district court bill and even its proponents do not anticipate many small towns will take advantage of affiliating with district court at their next elections, if any do, however, and 8 certain constitutional a m d m ent now pending Is started favorably on Its way toward final adoption by the senate two years hence, whoever IS governor of Connecticut four years hence will appoint the judges of those district courts for four years.

 When Thompson announced the studios that had accepted the con- tract the cheers could be heard for blocks.
 By Rising Vote
 President Robert Montgomery grinned as he called for a rising vote that was all but unanimous. An amendment was approved which authorized the Guilds executive board to call a strike in any studio that failed to sign the contract. Montgomery adjourned the meeting with score of actors bowling for the floor.
 Producers were given one week to sign.
 The actors fight was in behalf of their lower-paid fellows, some of whom have existed on extras sal- aries that average as low as $19 a month. At the Guild meeting there was no discrimination. Stars fa- nous in every nation of the world where movies are shown, shared bleacher seats with stand-ins, "bit" players and extras who have never spoken line in a picture.
 Joan Crawford sat on the rostrum, wearing silver furs. Beside her were President Montgomery and Franchot Tone, her actor-husband. Robert Young, Jean Hersholt, Ed ward Arnold, Lucille Gleason, War ren William and Ralph Morgan also sat on the speakers stand.
 Studios Agreeing
 Studios that agreed to the new contract were: Columbia, RKO, Paramount, Metro Goldwyn- Mayer, Universal and 20th Century-Fox. Three, United Artists, Warner Brothers and Hal Roach, had not yet agreed. Samuel Goldwyn, who heads one of two producing units of United Artists, announced later that he accepted the demands. He said he was shocked" that his name had not been included in the an- nouncement.
 The strikers, including hairdress- CTS, scenic artists and makeup men, who have been picketing all nine studios since May 1, received the news with anger. Leasing said the theater picketing would begin as soon as shows opened today in eight or ten eastern and middle-western cities.
 He predicted that a million sym pathizers soon would join picket lines in all large cities in the coun- try.
 First Tickets Appear
 First picketS appeared Sunday in front of the famous Grauman's Chinese theater in Hollywood. Three hundred had been posted there, but 1t was too large a crowd, and 200 were recalled. Other pickets went to the Pantages theater, the Egyp- tian, and the Paramount, Warner Brothers, Loew'S State, United Arr tists and RKO- Hill street theaters in downtown Los Angeles.
 Aubrey Blair, Guild press agent, said the preferential shop would mean that all movie actors would be forced to join the Guild. Most of them already belong. Chief among those who do not are Greta Garho. Marlene Dietrich. Lionel

MORE CITY BONDS

(Contlnued from Page D care of the construction of the new Baldwin street bridge and also the changing of the grade from Union Square to the junction of Baldwin and Mill streets.
 Still another issue will be for $620,000. Of this sum $5O0,0OO will be used to retire a similar amount of bonds falling due this year. The issue will be funding" one. The remaining $120,000 will be used to pay off the state and military taxes falling due during the past year. For the past 20 years the city has always been year behind in pay ing it's state and military taxes so Controller Daniel J. Leary has paid the city's account up to date, there by creating technical deficit but saving considerable amount on a penalty payment for delinquency. The $120,00O will be used to wipe out the technical deficit in this &C., count.
 Water Bonds
 A total of $25O, ,000 in water bonds will be ordered sold tonight also. This amount will be used for the construction of that section of the new water main from Morris via Watertown and lying within Water town.
 Superintendent of Streets Thomas J. Fleming has already notified the utilities companies to relay their underground conduits in Exchange place and in nearby main streets. He is planning to pave North Main street, first, but will await vote by the board of works approving his general program.
 The $10O,0OO for the Baldwin street bridge and grading job is in- adequate but the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad conl- pany will have to bear part of the expense of erecting the bridge. At the same time the Scovill Manu- featuring company is tearing down its old building at the southeast corner of Mill and Baldwin streets so as to round off the corner at that point in conjunction with the city's grading plan. A new structure will be erected to conform with the gen. eral plans of the city engineers department.

 Guild Votes to Quit
 Actors turned out in thousands for their Guild meeting last night A strike would have closed all studios and halted work on 38 pic lures now in production. The loss to the producers would have amounted to hundreds of thousands of dollars a day.
 The 1900 senior Guild members players who earn more than $250 a week and some of whose salaries run as high as quarter of a mill lion year, and voted last week to strike unless producers came to terms.
 Only the senior Guild members were entitled to vote.
 Guild executives had conferred with producers before the meeting and received a favorable answer.
 Executives of six of the nine major studios granted every one of the Guilds points. Heads of the other three studios were expected to do likewise today.

CORONATION IS
 ON WEDNESDAY
Continued from Page D

(Cont1nued rom Page U diers from dominions, colonies, pro- tectorates; African chiefs, some in flowing gaily colored robes, one in European dress but with big feather fly swatter; the tourists and visitors and ordinary Londoners filled the streets which were deco rated for miles with flags, stream CTS and loyal notices.
 The official program of a celebra- tien that really will continue for weeks opens tonight with a state banquet at Buckingham palace for 450 guests of the king and queen. It will be full dress affair, James w. Gerard and Gen. John J. Per- shing, of the American delegation, may wear, respectively, their new knee pants and General Grant uni form.
 Color for Visitors
 But cafes, public houses, theaters, movies and the streets themselves provided the color for most of the visitors.
 There were few, despite the dismal weather and the dislocation of traf- flc caused by the bus strike, who stopped to complain or to be de- pressed by recollection that King George is being crowned only be- cause King Edward VIII, the one- time Prince Charming" left his throne and his people for love of foreign born woman.
 Edward, with Mrs. Wallis Simp- son, seemed much farther away than the mere miles between Lon- don and the Chateau De Cande in France.
 The coronation is a symbol which means that England, Great Britain and the empire go on. King George is the 10th sovereign of England emitting the two Cromwells-and behind those 40 were 19 Saxon kings.
 This Wednesday was to have been the coronation day of Edward VIII. His brother George just stepped in at the moment Edward, as Duke of Windsor, stepped out.
 Many Events Preceded
 Since the last coronation in 1911, that of George V, father of the monarch to be crowned Wednesday, there have been events that have shaken the world. Tn Europe, the monarchies of Russia, Germany, Austria Hungary, Turkey, Spain, Montenegro have passed. An age of dictators began. Four years of World War were succeeded by a troubled peace to safeguard which Great Britain is spending $7,500,- 100000 for armaments.
 This coronation finds the empire a commonwealth of nations, with the Irish Free State linked to the mother country only by the most tenuous of ties and the dominions generally sovereign states, with In- dia starting on the path toward self government under a new con- stitution.
 But there was little time today for such thoughts of these. Milling in the jammed streets of the west end, the crowds sought what fun they could and looked forward to Wednesday and the crowning of a new king and queen who have, as their heir, an II year old princess who some day may rule as Eliza beth II.

CHIEF COMMENDS
 ACCIDENT SQUAD
Not One Driver of S6 Cases Tried This Morning
 ExOnerated

Another 100 per cent conviction record in traffic court this morning prompted a statement by Police Superintendent William J. Roach that only with strict enforcement of motor vehicle laws can the acc cident toll be reduced. The traffic accident squads work came in for high c0mmendation from the chief and he declared that the squads work is already showing splendid results in the form of accidents rec duetion.
 Of 56 cases on this mornings traffic court docket there was not one in which the driver was exon- erated. Comparatively few cases were continued, and of the re- mainder the accused were all either found guilty and fined or paid for nolles.
 To add more woe to offending drivers, Prosecutor Mitchell Meyers declined to give nolles for small sums. One driver paid $25 for a nolle; IA others paid $15, and $10 and only two drivers were given nolles for $5.
 Strict enforcement of the traffic laws will be continued, said Supt. Roach. Members of the accident squad are under instructions to bring in all drivers guilty of viola tions. Supt. Roach pointed out that the arrests for motor vehicle law violation do not necessarily only follow accidents. A great many local arrests have been for violations in which there was no accidents. Dur ing recent months, Waterbury has been several times commended by the National Safety Council for its work in accident reduction.

YOUNG DEMOCRATS STILL WRANCLINC
Rival Factions Make Con- flicting Charges Over
 Convention Held Here

Members of the local regular" Young Democratic club today ridi- cllled the claim made Saturday in New Haven at the state convention of the "insurgent" Young Demo- crats that John F. Robinson of this city held over as president of the Connecticut organization because the election of officers at the state session in Waterbury last year vas invalid. At the session here last year Attorney John T. Cull.nan of Bridgeport was elected president af- ter Robinson withdrew. The "insur- gents" charged Saturday at their convention that the election of Gull linan was invalid because Governor Wilbur L. Cross dictated" the slate of officers chosen.
 Two weeks ago the regular" Young Democrats of Connecticut met in Hartford. At that time Gull linan withdrew as a candidate for president and was succeeded by Cornelius Nicholson of South Wnd- sor. Attorney Frank R. Odlum of Hartford was also mentioned for the presidency but did not seek election.
 As in the case of the regular" convention, the insurgents blocked a move to wholly endorse the presi- dents plan revamping the supreme court of the United States. At Sat- urday's session a resolution was adopted merely praising the past record of the Roosevelt administra- tion. John F. Robinson of this city called the convention to order and among those elected to office was Matthew Scully of Naugatuck, who was chosen second 7ice-president. Mayor John w. Murphy of New Haven, State Senator Charles Me- Aree of Massachusetts and Con- gressman R. M. Duncan of Missouri addressed the convention.
