Constable Bennett Of At|in, Has Big!
 Section to Patrol
P Provincial P oliceman n Is Only Officer in Northern
 British Columbia

Priyincial Policeman, Constable Charles Bennett. a tall, blonde, square shouldered, uniformed gen. tleman, arrived in Juneau from Tul- sequah this morning and flew to Atlin with Alex Holden, returning to his station after being held at inc Polaris-Taku mine for a week by flood waters.
 Bennett, young man with the physical build required in the Cana dian policing services, has a big job. His section of Canada, com prising the northern part of Brit ish Columbia, can be only reckoned in approximate figures as far as square miles go, but it's indefinite boundaries stretch from back of Haines to far east of the Liard. and from Yukon Territory to the Sti- kline country.
 All told, Bennett's jurisdiction, n which he is the only law officer, is larger than the combined areas of England Scotland, Ireland and Wales, but Bennett admits" There isn't much to do"
 At Tulsequah, Bennett was in- vestigating liquor traffic to the Polaris-Taku miners.
 Atlin is Bennetts base of opera tions. From that city he covers all of his beat" by plane. boat, afoot, horseback, or by dog team.
 He thinks Atlin is a wonderful country and the winter isolation IS not unpleasant--especially when he contemplates the thought of perhaps some day going to the post given his predecessor who has gone to Fort Nelson in the deep Interior.
 He only gets mail about ten times a year, Constable Bennett said.

 Gillette had opposed the New Deal leadership on only one import ant issue-he voted against the su- preme court reorganization bill = but his opponent had the oral sup- port of Works Progress Adminis- trator Harry L. Hopkins, of James Roosevelt, the presidents son, and other New Dealers in Congress. Thus, Iowa Democrats had the op- portunity to express today whether the supreme court plan and other of President Roosevelt's New Deal policies met with their strict ap- proval.

Waterbury Picked For Socialist Contention
Party Believes 1938 Affords Opportunity for Capital izing on Mistakes of Two Major Political Groups;
 Jury Disclosure May Be Basis of Campaign
By JACK AMMAN
United Press Staff Correspondent

(OnlVcO fTeSS 6tdh SOTEcSVOllucutD
 Bridgeport, Conn.,, June 6-(UP) -Connecticut's socialist party, pre- pairing for its greatest vote-getting year, moved today to reap the ut most advantage from revelations of widespread political corruption in the states two major political parties.
 Led by 59-year- old Mayor Jasper McLevy, gangling Scotch roof-re- pairer, the socialist party voted to hold its state nominating conven- ton Aug. 27 and 28 at Waterbury scene of the most startling political scandal in the history of Connec- ticut.
 It was believed the socialist party leadership would base its campaign on the Waterbury and Bridgeport grand jury disclosures, moving to gather in its fold all "disillusioned" or disaffected citizens.
 Political observers in both Demo- cratic and Republican parties ad- mitted there will be a sizeable in crease in the vote for McLevy, who is expected to run again for gov ernor.
 How much of an increase in the socialists vote there would be was what worried leaders mostly. If it is widespread, the socialist vote may be the deciding factor in close election.
 Another development in the last few weeks worried G. O. P. and Dem- ocratic observers. There were strong reports that powerful labor groups, such as Labor's Non-Partisan League may throw its support to McLevy rather than place individual tickets in the field or approve Democratic or Republican candidates.
 An alliance was formed last week at New York City between the so- cialist party and the American labor

UNKNOWN LAW
 IS INVOKED
Waterbury Motorist Has Second Charge Preferred
 Due to Loss of Limb

Invoking for the first time locally and perhaps for the first time in Connecticut a statute adopted in 1885, the state today lodged second charge against Julian G. Gates, Al, of Al Prospect street, secretary treasurer of the Waterbury Tool Co.,, whose case has been pending in traffic court since last August.
 Previously charged only with op- erating 8 car while under the influ- ence of liquor, Gates today was also charged with causing loss of limb while intoxicated"". This charge car. ries a maximum penalty of 10 years ill prison and fine of $1,000.
 Gates was arrested Aug. 16, 1887, after his car struck a motorcycle operated by Howard Salisbury, 2l, of Middlebury. Salisbury's leg was later amputated and he was in the hos pital for lengthy period.
 Judge Edward MaScolo continued the case till Friday morning, the postponement being requested by the state. Attorney Patrick Healey, de- fense counsel, declared in court to- day that virtually all the 17 contin- uances given in the case have been asked by the state.
 The additional charge was pre- ferred today by Prosecutor Mitchell Meyers. It is based on little known statute adopted by the gen. eral assembly three years ago.
 The statute, 1686C in the cumu- lative supplement to the general statutes, is entitled: Misconduct of Railroad or Railway Servants or Motor Vehicle Operators.
 The statute reads as follows:
 Any servant of any railroad or electric railway company and any person operating motor vehicle upon the highways of this state, who shall, in consequence of his intoxi- cation or of any gross or wilful mis- conduct or of gross negligence cause any loss of life of the breaking of 8 limb. shill be fined not more than $1 ,000 or imprisoned not more than 10 years, or both."
