NEW DUCK SEASON
 FAVORED BY STATE
Protest Filed Against Con. tinuous Hunting Period;
 Stagger Plan Proposed

Hartford, July 15.-A new duck hunting season for Connecticut of ten weeks. with shooting limited to three days per week, has been pro- posed to federal authorities by the State Board of Fisheries and Game, the board announced today.
 Proesting against a continuous open season for 30 days from Octo- Der 10 to November 8, recently pro- posed for this state by the U. &. Bureau of Biological Survey, the Board seeks a staggered" season ex- tending from October 2l to Decem- Der 25.
 "A continuous season so early in the fall invites concentrated shoot- ing of our native duck supply which the board has been steadily increas- ing through establishment and man. agement of scores of duck-breeding refuges," Oliver B. Ellsworth, chair man of the board, declared.
 "The southward migration of wa terfowl from Canada, which fur nishes the bulk of wild ducks and geese hunted in this section, usually does not begin to arrive in numbers until early November.
 Hence, with a hunting season ending November 8, our native ducks would bear the brunt of the take by sportsmen," Commissioner Ellsworth pointed out. N
 Fish and game officials of other New England states, following re- cent conference at Boston attended by a representative of the State Board, have urged 8 staggered" season for their. states as a means of conservin New England -bred wild ducks, the board announced.

Oh, dear, how sleepy I am! Guess I'll write "finis" for tonight.

How lucky I am! Peter was not mentioned, though we talked about looking for an apartment.

OVER 2,OOO NEW
 VOTERS REGISTER
Democrats Hold Comfort able Margin as Work
 Proceeds

The total of new voters sworn in since the board of registration be- gan its sessions Tuesday passed the 2,000 mark this morning. Party workers predicted that late rush of eligible new voters before the clos ing session next Tuesday night would materially swell the number of new voters who will cast their first ballots this year.
 Of the first 2,000 voters made there have been 1902 who registered party aftlliation by signing primary lists. Of this number, 1,075 signed as democrats, 205 as republicans, and 9 as independent democrats.
 The democrats have steadily maintained margin of five to one over the republicans in securing new voters. The claim of the fusionists that practically all those who have failed to sign primary lists are sym pathetic to their cause is Scoffed at by democratic leaders. It is the fu- sionists' contention that many new voters who are being made fear to register as republicans or independ- ent democrats for fear of action against them by the administration. This contention, say the democrats, is utter nonsense and Is being ad- vanced by the fusionists solely to cover up the fact that they are lag ging far behind in securing new voters.
 Yesterday 502 new voters were made. Of this number 234 signed democratic primary blanks, while 46 listed themselves as republicans.

 With a cast of Broadway stars, augmented by Robert Taylor of the screen, Metro Goldwyn Mayors Broadway Melody of 1888" opens today at the Loew Poli theater as the first hit of our Greatest Movie Sea- son and without a doubt will be well comed with spontaneous applause.
 Here, unquestionably, is the new order of things in the world of show business. On sound stages them selves larger than the greatest Broadway theater, the picture has been furnished with lavish splen- dor that could never be approached elsewhere.
 The cast has names that would flash individually in the lights of a dozen Broadway houses and delight the producers from Columbus Cir- cle down to Times Square. Here they are assembled in single show.
 Robert Taylor and Eleanor Powell co-star. With ther, are George Murphy, Binnie Barnes, Buddy Eb- sen, Sophie Tucker, Judy Garland, Charles Igor Gorin, Raymond Wal burn, Robert Benchley, Willie How ard, Charles Grapewin, Robert Wild hack and chorus of lovely dancing girls. =
 Roy Del Ruth directed the picture, which was produced by Jack Cum mings, Dave Gould, who won the Academy Award for his direction of dancing, was in charge of the chor- us and the elaborate musical score is the work of Nacio Herb Brown and Arthur Freed.
 The songs are assured hits.
