main streets. Under the provisions of the bill passed this week the state trafiic commission will have power over parking and traffic reg ulations on the four main streets of the city.
 Rep. Thonns Protested
 Representative John D. Thoms of Waterbury, minority leader of the house, opposed the passage of the measure in the lower branch of the general assembly but was defeated. However, the vote was not on a party basis, many republicans joira- ing with the democrats in an effort to defeat the bill giving such broad powers to the state trafic commis. sion.
 This commission consists of State Highway Commissioner John A. Macdonald, State Police Commis- sioner Anthony Sunderland and State Motor Vehicle Commissioner Michael A. Connor. The bill also gives the commission the right to designate where trafic lights shall be placed and what type of lights shall be bought for such purposes. This authority tends, 1t Is felt, to vacate the authority now vested in the purchasing committee of the the board of police commissioners and the ofdce of Controller Daniel J. Leary.
 Save Money, Lose Authority
 Therefore, while the city may save much money in paving ex- penses on its main thoroughfare running north and south and its other main thoroughfare running east and west it Is apparent that it will have to lose much of its au- thority over these same highways as a result of being placed in the trunk line system of state high ways.

 representa- tives of the company and the union in an attempt to settle the 3-day-old strike
 The union, which won recogni- ton from the General Motors Cor porati0n in Michigan, has demand ed similar treatment in Canadian plants.
 Through the night fires blazed at the 20 picket points. A light snow was falling and the temperatures were little below freezing.
 If the parts department men want to go in we will let them," one striker declared. And we will also let them come out again without interfering. What will happen to them after they come out, however, is something which we can't say anything about"
 Hugh Thompson, organizer for the committee for industrial organiza- ton, said the strikers would await developments at Hepburn's confer ence before determining their course of action.
 "Our men have their instructions and are following them," he said. We do not expect any trouble. Everything is orderly here and will remain 50. We are going to main- tain law and order."
 Local police in this city of 2s,O0O had not attempted to interfere with the pickets and indicated they would not act unless violence occurred.
 Strike leaders issued passes for 20 parts department employees. The unit normally employs approximate ly 70 men but the majority gre union members.
 Fifty pickets had been appointed special union police" They patrol- Cd the grounds and street, wearing arm bands bearing the insignia ID. |P.1
 Company eNacials refused Co com- ment on the strike situatiOn psnd- ing the outcome of, the Hepburn conference.

his youth, and what he has always wanted to be.
 Like to Own Store
 "I'd like to go into first class general store," the governor said pulling an a Scent cigar. T like it; I like the smells there; I feel perfectly at home In general store.'
 Has he selected a corner for the store2
 T haven't made up my mind," he smiled. "You know, the country store is pretty well played out" The governors recipe for longevity was summed up in two words:
 Behave yourself" Tomorrow, the man whose ideas in government are as liberal as when he was in his twenties will revisit again the little, red house at Mans- field where he was born.
 T suppose" he said, tits a little sentimental"
 One of Few Interviews
 It was one of the governors few interviews during his entire career.
 T am thankful to be 75," he said. T feel it's very great. I'm perfectly well. I feel just the same as in other years.
 "They put me to bed 30 years ago with 8 bad heart. My heart seems now to be in perfect shape. I don't do as much reading as like, though.
 For a long life, he said, Don't drink too much-or better still, not at all. Only water - but you can put a teaspoon of whiskey in 1t"
 He said he reads the obituary col- umns regularly, land always look to see how old they were when they died-when they turned up their toeS."
 Rarely Plays Cards
 The governor, whose proclamations are regarded as literary achieve ments of the highest merit and have been published in book form, said he rarely played cards or poker. When he did, he said:
 T like to play with people that cheat. Because they won't get mad when they catch me cheating"
 The governorshipl
 "It's 8 hard job. It's getting harder every day. The business of government has increased tremend- ously during the depression and succeeding years. All this welfare work is the result of our industrial civilization"
 Sidetracks 1888
 What about 1882 The governor was asked. To date, the governor has issued no denials to statements that he would continue to run for governor forever" that he was Connecticut's permanent gover- nor."
 Tn 1938," he drawled, I'm going down to New Haven for the tercen- tenary celebration"
 T weigh 174 now," he calculated, land I have never been over 179. eat just the same now as when was IS.
 My blood pressure is about 130 or 140. I think it's a good thing to ACCp ~ dIOunlU A3U UT SO. 4A1lU &IIA five feet 10 1-2 inches in height with my shoes on.
 Birthday Dinner
 On his three-quarter century birthday tomorrow, Gov. Cross said he would be at his ofiice for an hour in the morning, and then he would go to New Haven for a meeting of the Yale corporation. Then, in the afternoon, to the house where he was born. And, at night, 8 birth day dinner with his staff at Hart ford.
 "Well," he said, "there you are"
 His election as governor in 1881 was his first venture into politics. He was dean of the graduate school at Yale and still retains his posi- tion as editor of the Yale Review. He taught English as a professor.
 Now, he is in the midst of bat tie with the general assembly over reorganization of the state govern ment-which would make Connecti- cut a model of economy and effi- ciency.
