 Same Pay As others
 They stipulated, however, that under no conditions must their wages in the future be less than that received by New Haven and Bridgeport drivers, who receive SC cents an hour and for over.the- road men, 65 cents for local drivers and Bb cents for platfroin men.
 As for the local food strike, union sentiment was to continue 1t until contracts have been signed by oil wholesale firms affected. But the back of the strike was believed broken by the decision of the freight drivers to resume work.
 The "New Haven" Railroad af- nounced 1t would lift at once It's embargo on pickup and delivery freight in and out of Hartford. The embargo was placed into effect Q week ago when the freight strike reached e peak.
 Mayor Is Pleased
 Mayor Thomas J. Spellacy was enthusiastic over the end of the freight strike, but decided to keep 200 special deputies armed with nightsticks on the streets in event of trouble in the local strike.
 Hartford b naturally anxious" the mayor said, ito dispense aS soon as possible with the 200 special po- lice who have been appointed. That, however, cannot be done until ell possible danger of food shortage Is averted. am not advised that this danger is passed"

UNITY ASKED IN
 COUNTY HOMES
Conn. Public Welfare Has Appealed for Better
 Care of Children

Hartford, Conn, Oct. 1--(Up)-- The Connecticut Public Welfare Council today appealed to state and county officials to solve, once and for ell, the problem of divided con- trol of children in county homes.
 "The root of all difficulties" the council said in Q statement, "is the division of responsibility as to guar diAnship and as to financial re- sponsibility between the state and county"
 The councils statement came as result of Q report on conditions at the Windham County temporary home for children which charged alleged widespread irregularities and immoralities. The resignations of two county commissioners has been requested by the Windham delega- ton to the general assembly be- cause of allegations in the report.
 Responsible Unit
 The statement urged "there should be one responsible unit of government chargeable with the guardianship and care of ell neg. iected children" The council said the logical unit" to perform this function was the state government If for no other reason because 1t would insure Q unified program throughout the whole state"
 The council recommended that ell interested parties discuss this prob- lem and make an attempt to solve 1t by 1889. It hopes that all hatch- cts, A any, will be buried and 1t pledges itself to the best of It's abil- fly to perform its duties and render such assistance as 1t can"
 "The primary fault" 1t was said, "is with the system, and not with those trying to operate it."

TO BUILD
AIRPORT ROAD
UP TODAY

ARLINGTON, Va. July Is.
County officials today were plan
ming to confer with representa-,
tives of the National Airport Cor.
poration, owners of Washington
Airport and Representative How.
ard w. Smith regarding the air
port company's proposal to spend
as much as $25, 900 for a new road
between Washington and the
southeastern section of the county,
provided the county will agree TO
the closing of Military Road,
which bisectS the airport and has
been pronounced a hazard to both
airplane and automobile traffic.
The proposal, advanced yester-
day at a meeting of the county
board by S. j. Solomon, vice presl.
dent of the National Airport Cor
poration and manager of the
Washington Airport, could be
made effective only by passage of
a bill pending in Congress which
would authorize the War Depart
ment to cede title to the roadway
to the county. Under terms of
the proposal the county would
then authorize for opening of the
new roadway at the expense of the
airport concern.
The new route proposed by SOL
ONION would follow the abandoned
roadbed of the Arlington-Fai
railway from the intersection of
Washington Boulevard and Court
House Road to the Columbia Pike
just east of South Ives Street. The
plan also includes the offer to
install an automatic traffic light
at the intersection of Columbia
Pike and the jefferson Davis High
way.
Representatives Of county civic
organizations who attended the
meeting, expressed willingness to
agree to the proposal only in event
the new road was assured.
