General Assembly To
 Open Important Week
String of Reorganization Bills Are Starred for Action in House Small Loan Companies to Be Discussed

house. The senate bill has become known as the Telesca Allen bill.
 It was slated for senate action tomorrow. Predictions were for its passage without amendment. When the house bill comes up for action Representative Allen will attempt to amend it to conform with the straight two per cent senate bill.
 Committee Hearings
 Committee hearings this week hold an equal share of the spotlight with legislative action. Tuesday the banks committee will hear the much dis cussed savings banks insurance bills. Bank Commissioner Walter Perry and Insurance Commissioner John c. Blackall will attend the hearings but neither was expected to speak for or against the meas ures. They will furnish statistical information if needed.
 Constitutional Amendments
 Hearings on 10 constitutions amendments also will be heard to- morrow.
 Most of them are conceded to face stiff opposition. The only two that seem to have a ifty-fifty chance have been urged consistently by Gov. Wilbur L. Cross since his in- ception in office. One would in- crease the governors veto power by requiring two thirds vote of the legislature to override instead of bare majority. The other would give appointment of all judges tc the governor with advice and con sent of the legislative and for foui years.
 It will take all pressure the gov ernor can put into the house te slip either. through, leaders say. The procedure in constitutional amend. ments requires passage by the house only at this session. Then the pro- posals hang over until the next session for approval by both houses
 There is widespread public inter- est in a proposal by Rep. Samuel Shethar, r., Weston, which would prevent any member of the legisla- ture from being judge, prosecutor or clerk of any court or from hold ing any office for which he would be compensated by the state, be- cause many legislators are now ir this category, the measure is eX- pected to find hard sledding.
 Face Hard Shedding
 Three resolutions offered bJ Chairman George H, Warncke, r. Wilton; of the house committee or reorganization appeared to be doom. ed. Presented on request of the state reorganization commission They would increase the governor! term to four years; eliminate thu offices of comptroller, secretary ol state, treasurer and attorney genera from election, preliminary to mak. ing them appointive; and transfer power to issue commissions to no. taries public from governor to secre. tary of state.
 Another proposal, submitted by Rep. Hugh M. Alcorn, Jr., T., Sui field may not be pressed. It woulc allow judges to accept verdict by 10 or II men on a jury. Another apparently doomed proposal come: from Rep. T. J. Shea, d., Middle town, requiring all judges be elected by the people. Another resolution by Rep. Burton Sherwood. r., Bethe would require senatorial districts te be as nearly equal as possible.

GOV. MURPHY IN BOSTON SPEECH
Carefully Avoided Mention of General Motors Con-
 trOversy in Canada

Boston, April 19-- UP) Governor Frank Murphy of Michigan was en- route to his home state today after carefully avoiding in a radio speech and in press interviews here all ref erence to the Canadian General Motors strike. He declined to dis cuss the Canadian situation -includ- ing new general strike threat in American General Motors plants even, "off the record" but did pre-. dict to newsmen ''amicable settle ment of any differences that may arise" in the Ford plants in Michi- gan. T believe that MT. Ford and his son, Edsel, will work out satis- factorily any problems brought to them by their men, properly orga- nized," Murphy said.
 In broadcast speech at the 43d annual Patriots day dinner of the Massachusetts state council, Knights of Columbus, last night, Murphy said he was convinced that basically "the working man of today is only seeking to attain his just and ele- mentary rights" Employers must embrace a progressive outlook" and discard the idea of suppressing any just objectives of labor" he asserted.
 '"The laboring man has no more precious possession than the funda- mental political guarantees and pre- negatives incorporated in the laws of the land, and he should be solici- tous of their preservation and hence the upholding the law" The wisest use of government power in indus trial strikes Twill observe restraint and avoid abuse of that power" he said. Improper use of military power in recent disputes could easily have plunged us into disturbances of ghastly consequences"

 Hartford, Conn, April 19-(UP)- With string of reorganization bills starred for action in the house, and favorable reports already made in both branches on small loan com- pany interest charges, the general assembly will begin the most im- portant week of the session Tuesday
 The house will probably pass the executive council bill, nearly tripling the governors salary to $12,000 a year and more than doubling the salary of the executive secretary to $6,000. It will give the governor a cabinet, consisting of majority and minority leaders of both branches of the legislature. The salaries, under the constitution, would not become effective for two years.
 Loan Bills Interesting
 Tremendous interest centered up- on the small loan bills. The house has already received a favorable re- port on a bill raised in the house committee in banks somewhat re- ducing the interest rate, by provid- ing a three per cent. rate for the first $50 of loan and two per cent for the last $50. This measure gives the banking commissioner au- thirty to revoke and suspend li- censes of loan companies.
 The bank committee of the sen- ate, however, felt differently about the matter. It voted favorably in a bill introduced by Senator Anthony Telesca. d., Torrington, reducing the rate of interest from three to two per cent on all loans. Representa- tives John T. Allen. d., New London, introuced a similar measure in the
