T shall be interested in hearing what you might have to say about some of these matters which seem to imply that you've annoyed his nibS, no end, from Leavenworth street to the controllers office and back, most indubitably."
 It is not the custom of this de- partment to go into matters relat- ing to news sources as a general thing but the remark is set down that in only one particular were the Republican organization newspapers correct, by statement, in their ex- pensive outlay of blast directed to- wards a member of this newspa- per'S staff.
 Pape Absent
 It has been brought to the atten- ton of this department that Will liam B. Pape, business manager of the Republican-American, was not at Controller Sherwood l..

 In all other aspects of the Repub- lican-A American blast, the esteem ed Republican organ is all wet.

| year, and outlays for other sizeable projects.
 New Haven Road
 Not included in the above estimate are expenditures probably to be made by tine New Haven Railroad and it's subsidiaries, which during the course of reorganization must be dependent upon the approval of the United States district court. The railroad has already received per- mission, however, for an outlay of $2,850,O00 for 50 new passenger coaches and ten Diesel switching locomotives.
 The estimate of $10,000,000 for public utilities other than the trans portation services is based on amounts budgeted by several large companies, totaling more than ST. 500,0OO, of which the largest amounts will be spent by the Hart ford Electric Light Company and the Connecticut Light and Power Company.
 An estimated $2,9oo,000 will be ex- pended by the Hartford Electric Light Company The largest part of this will be $2,300,000 for steam plant additions and improvements, including the cost of completing the big South Meadow installation re- ferred to above. The rest will be Tor distribution and transmission line improvements and for miscellaneous items.
 Waterbury Plant Of practically equal size is the contemplated outlay of the Connec- ticut Light and Power Company which estimates that it will spend approximately $2,8O0,000 for addi- tions and improvements to its prop erty. More than $2,000,000 of this amount will be necessary for the usual run of gas and electric 1m- provements such as extension oI | transmission lines, Sub-statlonS ana particularly the distribution system 1 into rural areas. The balance Will be expended in improvements to the gas plant at Waterbury, increase III the capacity ot the Baldwin Street slb-station at Waterbury, 8 new
 
 office and service building at Es- sex. the reinforcing of the trans mission system to the shore area, and the completion of the Wlll- mantle to Rockville transmlsslon line.
 The Connecticut Power Com- pany's total expenditures, including work carried over from last year, will be close to $900,0o0. The new work, authorized in the amount of about S666,OO0, does not include any items that might be considered major construction work" but IS made up of numerous relatively small construction jobs. In the work started in 1887 and to be completed in 1888, the major part ot the amount of estimated expenditure IS for completing the relocation of the transmission line going into Mld- dletown, together with the reloca- tion of the substation, so as to place them beyond the area that has been subject to prior floods.

Bloody Trail! Police Investigating to Learn Why, w h eref for of
 Footprints Near
 City Hall.

A mysterious trail of bloody footprints, starting in Library park and following a winding course through many city streets, was being investigated by police today. The trail ends on Sperry street, near West Main street.
 The bloody prints, believed to have been made yesterday after noon, were still clearly discern able today. Whoever made the prints must have lost a large quantity of blood, for every step of one foot left bloody imprint.
 Lieut.. John Calvin of the de- tective bureau attempted to trace the mysterious footprints last night, but was handicapped by the darkness. The bloody prints be- gin in the driveway alongside the city hall, pass directly by the police station, then go along Leavenworth street, across West Main street, up Central avenue, along Hillside avenue, then along several other streets to Sperry street. There the prints abruptly end.

CHURCH AND WAR THEME OF FARLEY
Ministers and Rabbis to Discuss Topic in New
 York March 1

'The Church and War" will be 1 the subject of an all-day conference of Christian ministers and Jewish rabbis of Greater New York and the metropolitan and committing area, who have been invited to meet at the Broadway Tabernacle Con- gregational church, Broadway and Fifty-Sixth street, New York, on Tuesday, March first. The evening service, to which the public is ln- vited, will include addreses by Dr. John Haynes Holmes of the Com munity church, and Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick of the Riverside church, and Scripture reading and prayer by Rabbi William F. Rosen- blum of Temple Israel, concluding with a solemn service of consecra- tion to peace.
 Early replies to the letter of in- vitation, sent by Dr. Allan Knight | Chalmers, minister of the Broad way Tabernacle church, on behalf of the original group who were re- sponsible for the calling of the mln- | isters' peace meeting at Riverside church, May 2nd, 1885, indicate that these Christian and Jewish religious leaders who publicly de- clared their solemn covenant ot peace, at that impressive service three years ago, are standing by 1 their conviction. Dr. Chalmers states that 21O of the 274 signers of the peace pledge are still living within the metropolitan area; and of the 127 replies already received, only two men have weakened in their absolute conviction. The other 125 state that their conviction IS stronger than ever."
 The Covenant of Peace" to which these religious leaders are rededicating their lives, reads:
 "In loyalty to God I believe
 that the way of true religion
 cannot be reconciled with the
 way of war In loyalty to my
 country I support its adoption
 of the Kellcg3 -Briand pact
 which reno -ceS war. In the
 spirit of tue patriotism and
 with deep personal conviction,
 I therefore renounce war and
 never will I support another"
 Dr. Chalmers announces the fol- lowing program for the days con- ference. Morning service of worship from II to 12:30 o'clock, in Taylor Chapel of the Broadway Taber- nacle, with Dr. George A. Buttrick, minister of the Madison Avenue Presbyterian church as the speaker. The afternoon session of the confer ence, scheduled from 2:30 to 5:30 o'clock, will be given to open dis cussions on the following subjects: collective Security and Neutrality y led by Dr. Roswell P. Barnes, Secre- tary of the Federal Council of Churches; '"The Boycott" led by Dr. Henry Neumann, leader of the Brooklyn Ethical Culture Society; and If I were In China Today" led by Dr. A J. Musto, minister of the Labor Temple. The subjects of the evening addresses by Dr. Holmes and Dr. Fosdick will be announced later.

Expenditures amounting to ap- proximateiy $1O,00O,000 for additions to their plants and equipment and for other purposes will be made by Connecticut's power and light, gas, gas and electric and privately own ed public water supply utilities dur ing the present year, according to an estimate based on survey taken among several of the larger com- panies serving various parts of the state.
 The total outlay by the utilities for 1888 will probably not run to the figure of last year, but in 1937's fig ures there were included large parts of the cost of constructing the Connecticut Light and Power Com- pany's new completed 25,Oo0-kilo- watt installation at its Montville station, part of the cost of the Hartford Electric Light Company's 40, ,000-kilowatt addition to its South Meadow Station to be finished this

REPORTING LATE
 DELAYS PAYMENT
Eligible Applicants for Un= employment Checks
 Hurt Themselves

Failure to report at employment offices when so requested is, delaying and in some ccses preventing pay ment fo unem 1.oyment compensa- tion to otherwise eligible applicants, Commissioner Joseph M. Tone stated today in commenting upon the 9,2O0 "stop orders" which have been received by the department of labor from local offices of the em- ployment service division in the past few weeks.
 "When an applicant fails to ap- pear at the local office at the desig- mated time to make continued claim for compensation, the office sends us what is called a "stop order" We then cannot send a check to that claimant" MT. Tone explained.
 "To preserve his rights claimant must appear at the designated time. This is done in accordance with Sec- tion 808d of the unemployment com pensation law, and by such appear ance the jobless person shows he is physically and mentally able to work, one of the qualifications for eligibility
 MT. Tone said that "accessions re- ports sent by employers to the de- partment as soon as new employees are hired reveal that many who have not returned to the employ ment offices are now working.
 "The 'accessions reports we have received, however, do not account for all of the thousands of individ- uals who have failed to return to make out continued claims" he said.

J. s. WILL BUY MANY ACRES
 IN DUST BOWL
Half of Total Already Is Acquired Under Act to
 Aid Farmers
By FRED BAILEY

united Press Stain COrreSpOndent)
 Washington, Feb. 5. (UP)-The government, which gave away mill lions of acres to homeSteaders in the Great Plains, has begun buying back the land in an effort to save the "dust bowl" from becoming a virtual desert.
 More than 5,000,000 acres already have been purchased and an ex- banded program under the Bank head-Jones Farm Tenant Act calls for the buying of another 5,000,000 during the next two years.
 ''Black blizzards" storms on the southwestern great plains caused the department of agricul- ture to rush its program for anchor ing the soil and checking wind ero- sion over a wide area.
 General Staff Organized
 Department soil experts have been organized into a general staff to direct the most ambitious land- use program ever undertaken by the government. Dr. L. c. Gray, as- sistant chief of the bureau of agri- cultural economies, heads the land use coordinating committee.
 Congress last year authorized ap- propriations of $50,000,000 over a three-year period ending in 1940 for purchase of sub-marginal land to develop 8 program of land con- servation and land utilization" in the Great Plains.
 Field agents have been sent into the "dust bowl" to buy options on 100000 acres before June 30. This would obligate the $10,000,000 made available by Congress for carrying out the program in the 1888 fiscal year.
 Land already ruined for farming purposes will be purchased in nine states. The government uses this land as demonstration areas to show private land owners how to control wind erosion. Private owners of l00,000,000 or more acres are ex- pected to cooperate.
 List of Selected Counties
 States and counties already se- lected for government land con- servation projects are: Colorado Weld, Baca, Las Animas and Logan counties; Montana-Custer, Fallen and Yellowstone counties; Texas Hamphill and Randall counties; Wyoming Campbell, Converse, Creek, Niobrara and Weston coun- ties; North Dakota-Slope and Golden Valley counties; South Da- kota-Perkins and Corson; Kansas --Mcrston county, and tri-state area including adjacent counties in NeH Mexico, Texas and Oklahoma.
 Land will not be purchased hap hazardly," Gray said. Given areas will be studied in cooperation with appropriate state and local agencies Each purchase project will be se- lected so as to permit the efficient use and administration of the land purchased, to contribute to an im- provement in economy of the entire area, and to prevent waste or misuse of land.
 "The land acquired will generally be land employed in agriculture and which is occupied at the time of purchase" he said. But occasional ly come intervening or adjoining un- occupied land, or land not then be- ing used for agriculture, may be bought to facilitate the efficient operation and conservation of an area as whole"
 The land retired from cultivation will be used for forest, recreatlonal areas, wildlife refuges, controlled range and other purposes for which it is best suited and which will pro- mote the general welfare, Gray said.
