State Banking Board May RepIace Bank Commission

Hartford, Conn, Feb. 1O.-(UP).- Establishment Of a state banking board of five members to supersede the present banking commission, continuation of the insurance and public utilities departments as now constituted, was recommended to the General Assembly today by the state reorganization commission.
 The commission proposed minor change in the insurance department whereby assessment and collection of taxes on nonresident and alien insurance companies would be transferred to the tax department.
 Consolidation of the three major state departments was not proposed because they do not involve similar policies. They offer little oppor- tu ,ity for the joint use of person. mel, procedures or equipment"

STRIKE WILL BE ENDED TODAY
Neutral Spokesman Con= fident Auto Trouble Is
 Very Near Over
BY CYRUS L. SULZBERGER

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Detroit, Feb. 10.-(UP)-We're go- ing to settle this thing this morn ing" neutral spokesman asserted today as conferees on the General Motors strike met without John L.. Lewis, union chief, to resume search for a basis on which the 43-day-old controversy may be ended.
 The remark was considered more an expression of determination than of actual expectation.
 Lewis remained in bed at hotel with what was described as a Slight touch of grippe"
 Associates of Lewis said he was extremely irked to learn from testi- mony before the La Toilette com- mittee in Washington that his home at Alexandria, Va, had been watched by Pinkerton detectives.
 Lewis Is Angry
 "A mans home is his castle" Lewis exploded, according to friends. That action by the big industrial interests was an outrage"
 Lewis cold was bothering him last night and he left the conference half an hour before anyone else. To- day he followed the advice of a physician to rest.
 In view of Lewis's absence it was certain no conclusive agreement could be reached in today's meet ing. The chairman of the commit tee for industrial organization is master-mind of all the strike strategy.
 Lewis was represented by Wynd- ham Mortimer, first vice-preSident of the United Automobile Workers, and Lee Pressman, c. I. O. counsel.
 General Motors had its full strength, William s. Knudsen, exc cutive vice president; Donaldson Brown, finance chairman, and John Thomas Smith, general counsel.

TROTzKY FAILS
 TO BROADCAST
Wild With Anger Over Pre- ventior1; Sabotage From
 Moscow Blamed

Mexico City, Feb. 10. (UP)-Leon Trotzlsy's adherents charged today that pro-Moscow sabotage was re- sponsible for failure of radio ap- paratus by which he was to broad cast @ speech on the Moscow treason trial to @ mass meeting in New York last night. Trotzky himself, al- most speeches. with anger in the early hours of this morning after his vain effort to broadcast, prom ised 8 statement later today. Diego Rivera famous mural painter who is Trotzky's host in Mexico, voiced from his hospital bed a suspicion that members of the general con- federation of labor. called the GYM, were responsible for the failure.
 Original Plans
 Originally Trotzky was to have broadcast from Rivera'S villa at the suburb of Coyoacan, where he is staying. A special microphone was installed. An international Tele- graph company engineer in charge said that 1t was found that ampli- fication was insufficient and also that the acoustics of the room were bad.
 Trotzky then came downtown to the office of the Mexican Telephone company, an its subsidiary. There he was sent to a branch station where a special apparatus was installed.
 This failed to work and Trotzky left. seething with anger.
 The Ericsson Telephone company, whose workers are affiliated with the semi-conservative general union of workers, arranged special connec- ton to New. York-and then could not find Trotzky, even with police cooperation.

Congress Being Bulldozed To Defeat Roosevelt Plan

"They were all worded exactly the same," he said. But they carried different signatures. They had been phoned to the telegraph office. When I checked the signatures with the San Antonio city directory more than 50 per cent of the names were misspelled."
 Maverick said he had been deluged with expressions concerning the presidents proposal. Those from little business firms, labor organiza- tions and small town residents gen. erally favored the plan, larger n- terests oppose 1t, he said.
 The identical telegrams said:
 we protest against the attempt to pack the supreme court. Vote against the bill"
 Maverick said that he would not make any attempt to introduce the entire presidential measure as an amendment to either of the two Summers bills dealing with the ju- dietary scheduled to come to the floor this afternoon.
 "I think that we should await developments" he said. Any such efforts at this time would hurt its chances of eventual enactment"

Washington, Feb. 10-UP)--Rep. Maury Maverick, democrat, Texas, a supporter of President Roosevelt's judiciary bill, charged today that congress is being "bulldozed" by ap- parently fake telegrams urging de- feat of the measure.
 Maverick, leader of house lib- eral bloc, asserted that opponents of the presidents measure were flood- ing congressional offices with circu- lar telegrams of opposition.
 He recalled that some opponents of the public utility holding com pany act of 1895 employed such tactics, revealed by Investigations of both houses into charges of lobby ing against the measure.
 "I intend to get time on the house floor to denounce this practice" Maverick said. Tt is a deliberate effort to bulldoze congress. The telegrams I received apparently were inspired by one man."
 Maverick said he received 10 tele- Mams, at one minute intervals, in- mediately after making Q radio speech supporting MT. Roosevelt's program.

Summers of the house judiciary committee which is considering the presidents program-prepared to bring to the floor two bills which embody less controversial parts of the proposal.

 LEON TROTZKY

New York, Feb. 10.-(UP)-Leon Trotsky, in speech read to 5000 of his sympathizers at meeting in the Hippodrome theater last night, VOL unteered to place himself in the hands of "Gpu executioners" if an impartial commission should find him guilty of the crimes charged against him in the recent Moscow "terror" trials.

 "The eternal disgrace in the menn- ory of human generations will be sufiicient for them," he declared.
 The former Russian war commis- sar was charged during the Moscow trials with having directed plot against the lives of Joseph Stalin and other Soviet leaders and with conniving with Japan and Germany against the Soviet Union.
