neapolis, president of the American Bar association.
 When Stichfield returned to Minneapolis following his election as head of the A. B. A., Devaney was toastmaster at 8 banquet giv- en for him by the lawyers of the state. And after Devancy's cleo ton as president of the N. l.. G., Stinchfield wrote him a letter Of congratulation.
 Devaney, who was chief justice in Minnesota under the late Gov. Floyd Olson, predicts he will have 5000 members in his new guild by June. Stinchfield has about 29,00O in his. There are about 75,000 law yers in the country and Devaney es- inmates about 20 per cent are liberal.
 It ought to be understood" says Devaney, ''that the National Law yers Guild was not organized to help the president get over his supreme court bill. It was organ ized and underway long before anyone heard of the bill. We will have dinner meetings in 28 cities the night of April 90 in support of the presidents plan and they will be partly designed to give the Guild an impetus.
 Later we as likely as not will be found opposing certain administra- ton legislation. We hope to assume leadership when legislation comes up involving social problems, civil liberties and general welfare" N Copyright 1887, NEA Service, Incl

Washington. April 23.-The Wag- ner-Steagall housing bill is one of the major legislative measures most seriously threatened by the adminis- tration's new emphasis on federal economy.
 The cost of the bill and the size of the program which it contem- plaets will almost certainly be re- duced. Supporters are hopeful, how ever, that the framework and poli- cies of the bill will be preserved to the end that the government will embark on national housing pro- gram. In this program, housing for low income groups will be recognized as national responsibility.
 Roosevelt's frequent references to that one- third of the popu'c-
 tiOn which, he says, Is "ill
 housed" have been accompanied by assurances that he really want
 ed q worthwhile federal housing program in which decent housing could be provided for families
 whose incomes are so low that pri-
 vate enterprise cannot afford to build for them.
 Secretary of the Treasury Nor genthau criticized the Wagner pro- gram from the beginning on the ground that it was too expensive. Now Roosevelt himself has become disturbed by failure of tax revenues to come up to anticipation, and over the size of next years deficit. He also has declared 8 policy of selec- tive spending in which there will be less emphasis on durable goods of the type which go into construction. Neither the White House nor the

(UGmOCE8G LGSAk68BHVG kkSpWrOCFI State Capitol, Hartford, April 23- Special to The Democrat Cover nor Wilbur L. Cross will have the power to fill the vacancy in the office of states attorney-general fl and when the incumbent, Edward J Daly of West Hartford, is advanced to the superior court bench. Yester- day Governor Cross nominated At- torney General Daly for the high court along with Common Pleas Court Judge Robert L. Munger of Ansonia. Daly is a democrat, Mun- ger is a republican.
 It is practically a foregone con- clusion that Governor Cross nom- nations will be approved by the house and senate. This means that the states chief executive will have two important appointments to make. One will be for an attorney general to fill out Daly's unexpired term. The other will be to the New Haven common pleas court to fill the vacancy caused by Judge Mum gers advancement to the superior court.
 Rush Expected
 Without 8 doubt there will be a serious scramble on, for Daly's post. His term expires next year. The term of the attorney general is for four years. The one selected by Gov ernor Cross as Daly's successor will undoubtedly be renominated on the state ticket when the democratic state convention takes place next year. Attorney Frederick Dauch of Waterbury is one of Attorney Gen. eral Daly's assistants at the present time.
 Judge Edward Mascolo of Water bury's city court judges was among those in the race for one of the superior court nominations. Recent ly large delegation from Water bury waited on Governor Cross and urged that he be nominated for one of the places. However, Governor Cross action of yesterday leaves him out of the picture, for the pres ent at least.
 Judge Munger, one of the gover- nor's selections for the superior court bench, is a relative of States Attorney Lawrence |. Lewis of Wa terbury.
 Dentists Oppose
 Dr. w. B.; Greenberg of Waterbury was among those who appeared yes- terday afternoon before the com- mittee on public health and safety in support of a bill prohibiting den- tists from advertising prices, fees or partial payments. He pointed out that the Oregon supreme court has upheld such a law. Attorney Alex ander Creedon of Hartford, repre- senting the newspapers, was among those opposing the bill. Among the Waterbury dentists attending the hearing besides Dr. Greenberg were Dr. Gilbert Kilduff, Dr. A. E. Rog- CTS. Dr. F. J. Buchanan, pr. Har-. " Levin, Dr. Leo Einkelstein, pr. F. E. Mclaughlin, Dr. Francis P. Barnes, Dr. Kenneth E. Blanchard, Dr. P. H. DeNicola, Dr. B. A. O'Hara

treasury, however, has yet suggested a substitute for the Wagner -Steag- all bill. The best bet seems to be that congress will create United States Housing Authority and give to it a certain amount of money with which to make a start.
 The bill, as it is expected to be re- ported out on the senate floor, would lend 8 billion dollars to local hous- ing authorities in the next four years. Subsidies amounting to about 3 1-2 per cent could be paid annual ly for 60 years and, if paid at the allowable maximum, would more than cover the carrying charges of the loan. Sponsors say this would provide adequate new housing for families in the 5000 income class and below. The sums provided in the bill would mean beginning of con- struction of 375,00G dwelling units ih the next four years.

Enumeration Grant

Enumeration Grant
 No one representing the paro- cl1ial schools Gf Connecticut was present yesterday afternoon at the hearing before the committee on education on the measure that would turn over to the Catholic schools and other private schools a proportionate share of the enumer- ation grant to the various cities and towns. Senator Joseph P. Cooney, who introduced the bill, spoke for the measure. There was considerable objection to the meas ure from organized educators. E. Starquist of Hartford, legislative spokesman for the Property Owners, Taxpayers and Citizens League, while speaking against the bill, was interrupted by Representative Ro- bert J. McKenlla of GriSWold and asked what a town would do with out the parochial schools when 1t had no money for more public schools. What did they build those parochial schools for in the first placer" was Starquist's way of ans wering Representative McKenna.

Stern Is Word for Lewis

John L. Lewis, the leonine leader of labor, was chatting at a recent social gathering and his constant smile and gOOd- humored remarks indicated he was enjoying himself.
 "Mr. Lewis" said a young man who had just met him for . the first time, "T am compelled to express my amazement. Here you are, merry and amiable, friendly and jovial. But I have seen hundreds of photographs of you and always you looked stern and fer0cious."
 "Sh-h-h!" replied Lewis with antoher grin, that's my bus- iness."
