STRIKE DRIVERS
 GIVE FREE RIDES

Everett, Mass, Nov. 17-(UP) - Service Bus Lines, Inc, sought legal action today to stop union drivers from giving passengers free rides in private automobiles during a labor dispute. Counsel for the company arranged a conference with District Judge Elbridge G. Davis in Maiden district court for an opinion on the legality of carrying passengers in automobiles mot properly insured for that purpose"
 The drivers, who contend they have been locked out by the man. agement, drove their own automo- piles along bus routes and gave waiting passengers free rides last night while regular buses were forced to operate comparatively empty.
 The week-old dispute followed a breakdown in negotiations between the company and the street railway employees union, an American Fed eration of Labor affiliate, for a re- newal of the union contract. The company holds that the 28 affected drivers and mechanics are on strike.

 In line with 8 general return of property in several state cities, the Connecticut Co. relinquishes claim to land on Cooke street, rights of way along Cooke. Dwight and Homer streets, where formerly the trolley lines operated before their cessation in Waterbury about IS months ago.
 The transfer evidently is part of the general procedure evolving from the reorganization of the New Ha- ven railroad, of which the Connecti- cut co. is, or was, a subsidiary, in the railroads attempted readjustmsnt under B77.
 The Railway and Lighting com pany entered suit for heavy dat11- ages two years ago against the rail- road, on the general claim that the Connecticut cotnpany's assets were being impaired by the parent com pany.
 Value of the rights of way in the Waterbury transfers is estimated, et about $10,0O0 by the fees paid. The Cooke street right of way is through property owned in 1911 by Mrs. Har- tfet L. Welton.

Measles! 27 Cases Reported Here-School Chil- dren Under Scru-
 tiny of Nurses.

4 Measles, that spotted, feverish aiiment which nostl-' affects chil-
 dfen, has become increasingly
 pfevalent in Waterbury this week, with 27 cases reported to the health department until noon to- day.
 This figure exceeds the total Incidence of the disease in the state, last week, 24 cases report e ed to the state health depart rnent, of which IA were Water bury cases.
 T Dr. Edward J. Godfrey, city health officer, commented today ! that less than a third of the cas- aes of measles reported here this week, about 8, are school chil- drep. Most of the cases are 2 among smaller children, from ? three to five years, it is reported. There is no consideration for closing any school rooms because !, the health officer feels that the children can be watched better for symptoms through the in- spection of the health nurses. When symptoms are noted. the afflicted children then can be sent home for the period of iso- lation required by the health de- partment.
 < Early diagnosis of the ailment is obtained in this manner and the chance that other children may be infected appears to be 1essened under this system, the health officer feels.

PROJECT LAUDED
by CIVIC LEADER
Suggestion Excellent
Says Air Official !

Support continued to pile UP to-
day on the proposal to improve
and extend the Washington Hoover
airport through a public works
project.
Latest to commend the idea is
L. A. Carruthers, president, Fed
Grafton of Citizens Associations,
who termed the plan thoroughly
plausible and reasonable"
WOULD FILL LAGOON
BY taking in the adjoining ex-
perimental farm of the Agricul-
ture Department and filling the
slough and lagoon, the Patterson
newspapers have pointed out, rum
ways ranging from 5000 to 1900
feet could be constructed. These
runways could be extended to
Arlington Ridge Road, which
would amply care for today's avia-
ton and accommodate that Of
the future. 1t was pointed out New
York faced similar problem and
put 1900 men to work on filling
in project.
Carruthers said the proposal not
only is worth while but would pro-
vide work for unemployed. He
stated:
The principal expenditure
would be for labor, not mate
rials, and many Of the unem-
ployed could be out on such a
task"

manager, American Airlines. said:
THE suggestion is excellent.
