 Gov. CrOss-Daly Expected 10 Withdraw Today

State Senator Joseph H. Lawlor yesterday rendered his formal resignation from the post of State Athletic Commissioner, as re- quested by Governor Wilbur l.. Cross after study of the Water bury extraordinary grand jury,s re- port. The resignation was the second of three which were re- quested by Governor Cross. Statute Revision Commissioner John D. Thoms resigned earlier in the day.
 Thinking It Over
 Resignation of Seantor Matthew A Daly of New Haven, as county commissioner, has also been re- quested, but Daly is thinking it over" and has given no definite word that he will comply with the governors request.
 It is reported that Governor Cross will make no appointments of suc- cessors to those resigned until the court proceedings are completed. Swarms of requests for appoint ments have been received. Senator LaWlor's term as athletic commis- sioner would not expire until July l, 1941. His annual salary was $500.
 Court action is expected to be taken in Hartford by Special Prose cutor Alcorn, because of the evil dence contained in the ju1y's re- port. Shortly after the 1885 ses- sion of the general assembly. when legislation beneficial to the Electric Steam Sterilizing company was passed, LaWlor received 1,20O shares

LESLIE DANA GOLD
 MEDAL AWARDED
Ophthalmology Research Assn HOnOrs Doctor El=
 liot M. Alger

St. Louis, Mo, May 24-The Leslie Dana Gold Medal awarded annually for outstanding achievements in the prevention of blindness and the conservation of vision," will be presented this year to Dr. Ellice M. Alger of New York city. Dr. Alger was selected for this honor by the Association for Research in Oph- thalmology in cooperation with the St. Louis Society for the Blind, through which the medal is offered by Leslie Dana of St. Louis.
 Dr. Alger was one of the founders, in 1915, of the National Society for the Prevention of Blindness, and he has served continuously on its board of directors. The organization adopt ed as 8 policy the following state ment which he made soon after it was founded: Nothing that con- cerns the saving of sight is a mat ter of indifference to us." Several years earlier, he had been mem- Der of the subcommittee on Pre- vention of Blindness organized by New York Association for the Blind.
 The inscription on the 1888 Leslie Dana Medal refers to Dr. Alger as "A Pioneer in Sight Conservation Wise, Understanding and Sympathe- tic Counsellor" The conditions of the award set forth that it is to be made for Hong meritorious serv- ice for the conservation of vision in the prevention and cure of dis eases dangerous to eyesight; re- search and instruction in ophthal- mology and allied subjects; social service for the control of eye dis eases; and special discoveries in the domain of general science or medicine of exceptional importance in conservation of vision."

 Unusual Activity
 Substance for The Democrat story was found in the factional meetings of various Republicans yesterday on the eve of what they had publicized as an attempt to impeach Mayor Frank Hayes. There was activity un- paralleled at other than election dates among Republican aldermen, organization chairmen and small groups who met in such places as the office of Controller Sherwood L. Rowland, for one example.
 The Democrat, naturally, has no desire to mislead the public regard ing the political machinations of the Republican aldermen, some of which resulted last night in resolutions pointed at the city's chief executive, his secretary, several Democratic appointive officers, and calling for investigation" of all city depart ments with view to Republican, administered shake-up of city em- ployes.
 In no case could The Democrat be accused of malice in its interpre- tation of the Republican aldermen's moves toward effecting organization control of city government through events they claim publicly may por- tend. The contrary if anything, would be the fact, inasmuch as it is customary to present both sides of proposition in any report when these sides are made available with con- sideration for accuracy.

of stock; Thoms 200 shares and Daly 200 shares, according to the jury's report.
 Thoms Resigns
 At New Haven county commits sioner, Senator Daly received $3,6OO annually. He was appointed only recently to succeed A. Sidney Lynch of West Haven.
 John D. Thorns resigned a post as prosecutor of the local city court to accept the post of statute revision commissioner about year ago. The salary for the latter post is $6,000 annually. Thoms' term would not expire until July l, 1941.
 Senator Daly insists that he had no dealings with the Electric Steam Sterilizing company, and that there is no reason why he should be un- favorably named in the jury's re- port.
 In the event Daly should re- sign, the other two commissioners would undoubtedly take over his tasks until new appointment is forthcoming.
 Temporarily. Fred A. Scott of Plymouth, whom Thoms succeeded as statute revision commissioner, is expected to resume his original standing. The office of athletic com- missioner will be taken over by one of the two deputies, Michael c. Beckanstin of West Hartford or Dennis T. McMahon of Meriden.'
