 state Capitol, Hartford, April g. Even though the cities have prose cutting attorneys and truant officers the state department of education needs its own prosecutor and at- terdai1ce officers State Education Commissioner Dr. Ernest w. Butter field insisted yesterday afternoon before the appropriations committee Of the legislature. He admitted that In Waterbury and elsewhere when Che x5epartment,S prosecutor, At- totney William Larash of Orange, brinRs a case into court he event. uSlly turns the handling or the actions over to the local prosecutors.
 Pointed Questions
 Iar Butterfield was the target for . series of pointed questions for al- most two hours. So many questions did the members of the committee fire at the commissioner that it was necessary to continue the hearing until another day. Representative Daniel J. Mahaney of Waterbury, a ude1mber of the committee, was afuua1k those firing questions. Sena- tor Joseph P. Cooney led the attack.
 Tt was the contention of Repre- sentative Mahaney and the others on the committee that the $27,00O Tn Dr. Butterfield's proposed budget for attendance supervision be eliminated. Waterbury's three pro- secutors, Attorneys Mitchell Meyers, John D. Thoms and Charles Summa, aS we'll as Truant Officer Edward Donallue, handle the attendance problem there.
 However, there are two attendance officers in this area, also, working for the state board of education. They are Oscar Fitzsimons and Herbert Cleaveland. Senator Cooney is seeking to have the attendance officers as well as the departments counsel dropped of entirely. A bill

legislator pointed out that if Con- gress were to attempt to amend the Constitution with a child labor law along the lines of that in effect in Connecticut thee progress made so far with the present child labor amendment would be all gone for nothing. At the present time he explained, 28 states have ratified the present proposed amendment. The question of ratification of the new amendment proposed by Swayne he added, would force the federal government to start all over again seeking ratification from the states. It took 13 years to get the present 28 states votes and it would take 13 more, or possibly more, to get 28 states to vote ratification again, he explained, hence his suggestion to Swayne to come out from behind those wiskerg."
