PARAMOUNT BUS
 ROUTE CHANGES
They Are Sought in Peti. ton Being Considered
 By Utilities Com.

Change of the present route of the Tairmount bus of the Connec- ticut Railway & Lighting company is sought in petition being con- s!dered by the state public utilities commission. A hearing on the mat. ter will be conducted at Hartford, January 3 ct Il Q. m.
 Attorney Philip N. Bernstein of this city represents the more than eO residents of the Lincoln street district who claim the change of route should be made because of public necessity and convenience." N Present Route
 The present route followed ila- cludes Willow street, Johnson street and Waterville strete. The proposed change would have the bus follow Q course from Willow street to Johnson street, to Waterville street and c cut-off to Wyniaa and Lin" coin streets, and then back to Wa. tegvilie street ct the end of Lin- coin street.
 Residents of the Lincoln street area were afforded special bus ser- vice at the time of Willow street was impassable-the bus being de- toured through that area. Such ser- vice is believed to be the incentive for the petition to the utilities com- mission.
 Although few in number, the resi- dents of Waterville street, where the route now follows, are reported to be incensed over the attempt of the new group to effect the change.

By JOE ALEX MORRIS

United Press Stan Correspondent)
 Washington, Dec. 22. (UP)-Ad- ministration leaders cleared the wreckage of President Roosevelt's special session program today to prepare for a struggle over control of the aid-to-business legislative program to be taken up by Congress In January.
 The regular session appeared cer- tain to witness sharp conflict pe- tween administration leaders seek ing to encourage business with the least possible sacrifice to New Deal policies and congressional rebels seeking more drastic legislative ac- ton at the expense of those policies.
 Chief Points at Issue
 The chief points at issue will be the extent to which Congress will 10 in tax relief, In reviving the wages and hours bill, in extending governmental power development, in reorganizing the executive branch, and In foreign policy. Many legisla- tors believed the outcome would bear heavily on the future Of the New Deal program generally.
 Already both sides have gone to work over the ashes of the special session that ended yesterday with. out completing any item on MT. Roosevelt's legislative program. The real spade work, however, will be delayed until January. The final decisions may depend on the ability of the administration to combat the current business recession.

 Hollywood, Dec. 22-(UP)-A thor ough post mortem examination of the body of Ted Healy, a happy-go- lucky vaudevillian and widely popu. lar movie comedian, was ordere today. Authorities possessed sonn evidence to indicate that his death had not been dut to natural causes. Healy died suddenly yesterday and 1t was at first announced that death had been due to @ "stroke." But his physician, Dr. Wyland Lamont, re- fused to sign a certificate setting forth the cause of death. He had found large welt over one eye, in- dicating that a severe blow admin istered by @ person of persons might have been at least contributing factor in his death.
 Investigation Begil;s
 Authorities immediately began an investigation. They found out first that last Friday Healy's young wife gave birth to 8 son and that Sunday Healy had set out to cele- brate.
 Sunday night, they learned, Healy had been seen in many of Holly woods best known drinking places, including the Trocadero, the Brown Derby, and Clara Bows Tt" cock tail room. He talked long and loudly, like other fathers have since time began, about the merits of his new son.
 Somewhere along his route, they surmised, another reveler, as yet un- identified, objected. Healy and his self-appointed critic argued, then fought. And Healy fell, with blood streaming from his temple, A doctor treated him for the wound, and, sobered, repentant and ashamed he went home and said nothing about 1t. Monday he suffered one convul- sion after another. There was fre- quent vomiting symptoms of fractured skull or brain concussion, Finally, when a physician was brought in for the second time, it was too late.

 It was asserted that Hashimoto, politically powerful firebrand of the extremist clement In the Japanese army, was relieved of his command last Saturday and replaced by a fel- low colonel who showed a much more cooperative spirit"
 The Americans, who arrived here from Wuhu. did not know whether Hashimoto had been recalled or transferred to another command. Foreign militory experts suggester that he probably was given another command. His mere removal, they said, would be a sufficient indication of the concern of the Japanese army at attacks on United States and British ships.
 Man Really Responsible
 Hashimoto was regarded by for- eigners here as the man really re- sponsible for the machine gunning of the American gunboat Panay. as 1t sank after 1t was abandoned, by Japanese troops in launches.
 Col. Hashimoto is alleged to have said, after attacks by his troops De- cember i3 on the British gunboat Ladybird and the Panay, that he had orders to fire on all ships In the Yangtse regardless of nationality. It was denied afterward that Mashi- moto had any such order.
