 United Press Staff Correspondent)
 Hartford, Conn, May 10- (UP)-A vanguard of minor court judgeship resolutions, the local-option district court bill, and a measure jumping the seni-annual motor ve- hicle inspection fees from 25 cents to 50 cents will furnish cause for a deluge of verbal bombardments in the general assembly this week. q. ' Leaders are divided as to whether the first judgeship resolutions will come up under suspension of the rules this week or next. Reliable sources, however, disclosed the infor- nation that where judges and pros ecutors are to be held as they are by agreement of both houses of the legislature, names of those involved should course into the assembly this week. Then, until the final week names will be presented as leaders come to agreement on them. If there are any upon which leaders cannot get together, the problem will be solved by gubernatorial ap- pointment after adjournment, ac- cording to leaders in both parties.
 Big Scrap of Week
 The big scrap of the week is ex- pected to develop when Motor Ve- hicles House Chairman William E.. Hungerford's bill increasing the semi motor vehicle mspec- tion fees, from 25 to 50 cents $ reported favorably in the house.

 Hollywood, May 10.-(UP)-Strik- ing movie technicians called for na- tion-wide picketing of theaters to- day and threatened to turn the heat" on actors who crossed their picket lines at the nine major studios. s,..... Strikers were infuriated by the failure of the Screen Actors Guild to join them.
 The Guild, whose stars are among the highest-salaried workers in the world, called off strike plans at the annual meeting last night, when six of the nine producers granted its demands for preferential shop and better pay for extras and bit players.
 Under the new arrangement, movie producers still may hire any actor they wish, but he must join the Guild.
 The Guild had voted to strike un- less the demands were met by Sun day night. Technicians who went out week ago, hoped that an &C., tors strike would paralyze the 1n- dustry.

 Politics Running
 Democratic politics have begun humming in Waterbury since Mayor Hayes announced his candidacy a couple of weeks ago and also since Senator George T. Culhane declared last Wednesday night that his hat is fin the ring" also.
 Mayor Hayes will seek renomina- ton on the democratic ticket. Sem ator Culhane has not divulged yet whether he will enter 8 primary fight with Mayor Hayes for the democratic nomination or head 8 fusion ticket. In view of the var ious groups of democrats and re- punlicans behind him it is possible that he will select the latter route to the mayors chair but all this is guesswork.
 Campaign Opens Early
 The mayoralty campaign, of 1887 is starting unusually early this year. This is believed due to the Culhane boom. The republicans, as yet, have not decided on a candidate. The nominee of two years ago, Major John M. Burrall, who is now assist ant republican registrar of voters,
