Hartford, Conn, Feb. 15-(UP)- Attacking the present military set- up in Connecticut as confused in authority and responsibility" the state reorganization commission, to- day urged the general assembly to centralize military affairsu nder the adjutant general and abolish vari- ous other offices. ."It is hard to con- ceive," the commission said, "how jurisdictions. could. be more tangled than those in the existing organiza- ton of the military affairs of the state. Yet, if there Is any major function which requires a definite and unmistakable delineation of au- thority and responsibility, 1t Is that of military affairs. In time of emer- gency, there is no greater deterrent to effectiveness than confusion in the overhead civilian administra- ton and exceshive. red tape in the taking of necessary actions" The commission urged "the respective jurisdictions of the governor, the governors stan and the civilian ofh- cers in the military establishment should be clearly defined" by the following changes:

 McReynolds' dissent declared that divorced from reality, taxation be- comes sheer oppression"
 Court actions today included:
 Refused to enjoin the govern- ment from collection of the "wind- fall" tax imposed to recover and retain revenue lost through AAA processing tax invalidation. This was in line with similar supreme court action earlier in the term.
 Agreed to entertain . case chal- lenging the procedure set up in the 1936 revenue act whereby processors bring suit for refund of AAA pro- cessing taxes. Twice previously, thk year the supreme court had refused to hear attacks on the law.

Washington, Feb. 15.-(UP)-The supreme court recessed for two weeks today with indications that March 1, its next meeting day, might bring some of the years most important decisions.
 This was indicated when the court, after a brief perfunctory meeting today, failed to clear from its docket any of the vital cases which are under consideration.
 There was possibility that the March meeting might bring the important ruling no constitution ality of the controversial Wagner labor relations act, as well as on long pending matters such as a re- quest for re-hearing of the New York Unemployment insurance case and the much delayed decision on validity of the Washington state minimum wage law.

KNIFE SLAYER IS
 AGAIN AT LARGE

New York, Feb. 15.-UP)-How- ard Dinger, escaped killer, sought in the knife staying of Mary Ellen Babcock at Buffalo, N. r., was be- lieved hiding in the metropolitan area today after slipping past a policeman who failed to recognize him in a Rochelle Park, N. J., roadside restaurant. Patrolman Ot- to Hurter realized, after 1t was too late, that Dinger was the man he had seen slipping coffee and mmch- ing roll at 9 a. m. Saturday. When the suspect glimpsed Hurter's uni- form, he unobstrusively left.
 Dinger killed Mrs. Annie Horvath near Harrisburg, Pa, in 1929. The circumstances of his attack closely resembled those in which the Buff falo high school girl died eight days ago. He was committed to the Ridgeway insane asylum in Penn sylvania. He escaped. Since the Babcock staying he has been the object of an eight-state search.

POPE PIUS TOOK !: HIS FIRST WALK

 Surprised Them

Vatican City, Feb. 14-(UP)- Pope Plus, after taking his first halting steps since he became i'll more than two months ago, has be- gun to talk of his illness as thing of the past, it was reported today. Vatican sources said that the Pope. overjoyed, regarded himself as cured and several times in speak ing to intimates referred to the pain-wracked weeks since early last December as "the time when we were ill.," Prof. Aminta Milani, the Vatican physician, said that he be- lieved it would be possible for the Pope to make another test of his strength this week, but subject to the most stringent precautions to prevent strain.
 Allowed To Stand
 The Pope was in his special wheel chair in the salon adjoining his bedroom yesterday, with Prof. Milani, his secretaries and 8 male nurse. Always impatient of his ill., ness and eager to be up, the Pope persuaded Prof. Milani to allow him to stand. He slowly lifted his frail body from his wheel chair, bal- anced himself carefully and took half a dozen short strides forward. It was only 8 minute or so from the time he began raising himself in the chair until he was back in it. But the Pope was so happy that tears streamed down his pale cheeks. Prof. Milani said the walk" had done him no harm.
 After spending hours in the sun bathed windows of his apartments, the Pope was persuaded to go to bed because of the danger that the late afternoon wind from the Alps might cause him to catch cold.

Washington, Feb. 15-The admin is tration campaign for the presi- dents plan to ir1fuse young blood into the supreme court expanded today into a program likely to bring Mir. Roosevelt personally into the national debate. Attorney General Homer s. Cummings opened the for- nal defense of the judiciary pro- posals with 8 jibe at irresponsible talk about dictatorship" and a charge that recent judicial action had "hampered" the people in free direction of their own destiny.
 He complained of conflicting in- ferior court decisions and condemn ed reckless use of the injunctive power" by courts. Real objection to MT. Roosevelt's plan, Cummings said, is this:
 Real Objection
 "Those who wish to preserve the status quo want to retain on the bench judges who may be relied upon to veto progressive measures"
 He denied new judges would be "subservient" to the president.
