 Second Correction
 For the second time in the past two weeks, officials replied to at. tacks made by MT. Harris on con- duct of local and state affairs, as publicized in the Republican organ- ization newspapers. The first ina stance was that of critical comment on the disbursement of unemploy- ment compensation checks by the state department of labor's employ ment service bureau.
 State Labor Commissioner Joseph M. Tone, late last week, reported that Waterbury's total of unemploy- ment disbursements was more than $55O,000, the second to Bridgeport'S $64O,0O0, in the state; that the fed- eral authorities had praised the sys- tenn used in Connecticut and had arranged for representatives of sim" liar services in nine states to visit Hartford to learn the procedure de- veloped in this state.
 Today welfare department officiah took issue with the publicity accord- ed MT. Harris in his critique of tho department last week, which, fact developed, was not a matter of city concern, although the welfare de- partment, in the final analysis. made arrangements for caring for the family after the landlord had evicted it. Whether MT. Harris had been misinformed regarding the cir" cumstances of the eviction was moi immediately learned.

Other Witnesses

OLncr witnesses
 Other witnesses of the day in- cluded Dennis Clancy, George Smith, Arthur Sullivan and James Cronin, all on recalls.
 All have appeared before, especial ly during the sessions conducted last week, when the jury apparently in- tensified its investigation into req sons for absence of important rec crds and contracts of the street and water department. Clancy, Smith and Sullivan are directly connected with the street and wa ter departments, while Cronin, for merly employed by the Diamond Ginger Ale company, worked with Simon J. Alderman of New Haven on a check of the cIty's books in December at the request of MT. Leary.
 Kingsley Company
 The Kingsley Auditing company has been checking t1le city's books since Mayor Hayes succeeded Mayor Francis P. Guilfoile in office. George H. Kingsley was formerly affiliated with the Miller Franklin auditing company of New York, which in Mayor Guilfoiles regime was the official auditing company for the city.
 Kingsley, working for Miller Franklin was in charge of the Wa terbury auditS. When he broke away from the company and formed his own organization he was given the Waterbury contract.
 First Monday Session
 Today was the first Monday the jury has held session since the probe was inaugurated. Today was the first day of the seventh week of investigation, which is expected to break within a few weeks with the issuance of bench warrants or indictments, presumably charging conspiracy. There will be five ses- sions this week, ano night sessions If necessary. MT, Alcorn indicated early this morning that there would be no session tonight.
 MT. AlcOrn Alone
 MT. Alcorn was without his as- sistant prosecutors today as he con- tinued the probe. Harold E. Mitchell and Hugh Mead Alcorn, Jr., as as- assistant states attorneys of Hart ford county were occupied with preparation for the criminal ses- sion which will open tomorrow in Hartford superior court. Both will undoubtedly remain in Hartford un- til that is completed, and as the docket includes more than i50 cases they will be busy for some time tc come.

Hand-To-H Hand Fighting

Casualties on both sides ran into the thousands as bloody hand-to- hand fighting ragged in outlying streets. The Chinese, led by Chris tion Good Friday Battalion, had pierced the Japanese outer defenseS early Sunday.
 Today's fighting and last weeks Chinese victory at TaierhchWang definitely removed for the time the Japanese threat to Chinas strong defense lines along the Lunghai railroad which guard key gateway" cities to the provisional capital of HankoW. Chinese military authori- ties predicted that "history's big gest Oriental battle" would take place north and south of Suchow, strategic city at the junction of the east-West Lunghai and north-south Tientsin-Pukow railroads, on the southern border of Shantung prov ince.
 Japanese Quit Territory
 The Chinese asserted that reports from Shansi and northern Honan provinces indicated that the Japan csc were abandoning hundreds of square miles of territory and rush. ing thousands of troops into Shan tung. They indicated that the Jap anese high command planned to stake the fate of the Japanese North China campaign on crush ing frontal attack on SuchoW, a point where the Chinese defenses are the strongest, in coordination with drive to the north along the Tientsin-PukoW rail line.
 The Chinese dispatches asserted that the Japanese had decided to radically shorten their lines in an effort to concentrate 8 force in Shantung sufficient to crush the Chinese defenses without calling for

 In Hankow, Chinese military atl& thorities announced that they would attempt to negotiate the first ex- change of prisoners of the war. Among prisoners of the Chinese were 800 Japanese from Taierh- chwang who barely escaped with their lives during the trip to the Hankow concentration camp. Angry Chinese peasants were said to have threatened attacks on the heavily guarded prison trains at most sta- tions along the way.
 A Japanese spokesman in Peiping said that the Japanese command CTS there planned to use a large number of Chinese prisoners in mopping up guerrilla bands, indi- eating possible Japanese reaction to the proposed exchange plan.

 Fourth Day for Smith When George Smith appeared to- day it marked the fourth day he has been called by the jury. The others included: Dennis Clancy, twice; Arthur Sullivan, twice, and James Cronin, twice.
 During the remaining days of the week, the jury is expected to concentrate on activities of the street and water departments, well fare department, board of finance and audits. Next week the jury might return to its probe of lobby ing and lawyers who received large fees from the city.

3OOth Anniversary of City Founding to GO on for
 Six Weeks

New Haven, Conn, April 18 - (U. P0-City officials made final prep arations today for six weeks cele- bration commemorating the, 300th anniversary of the founding of New Haven. The birthday party opens Friday and will continue, almost without interruption, until June Il. Mayor John w. Murphy, in a proc lamation, called upon greater New Haven residents to observe this weekend as New Haven Sabbath" |" He said: April 18th will mark the 300th anniversary of the landing of the first settlers here and of the first public worship held in this community.
 In Religious Way
 T believe that these events should be commemorated in religious way. T urge all citizens of this city of every religious faith, to participate in this observance at their respective places of worship. We shall also be happy to have citizens of all towns within limits of the ancient colony unite with us in this religious cele- bration."
 The city was founded in 1888 by Rev. John Davenport and Theophi- Jus Eaton, who led band of pio- neers from the Massachusetts col ony because of difference in re- ligion. They landed at what is known as Quinnipiac. In 1862, the community joined the Connecticut colony, and 122 years later, in 1784, was incorporated as city. The 3OOth anniversary of the founding will be celebrated with parades, pa geants, expositions, lectures, songs and dancing.

 Prosecutors Asked Clemency
 "The Speaker of the House of Representatives, the majority leader of the House of Representatives, and the chairman of the committee which originally recommended the prosecution and before which the acst complained of were committed, have recommended the extension of executive clemency."
 Rep. c. Jasper Bell, D., Mo-, was chairman of the House committee which Townsend defied. The aged pension advocate had said he left the investigation because it had been transformed into perSecu- tion.
 Before receiving word of the par don, Townsend, gaunt and gray, and dressed in neat brown suit, tested with neWspapermen and photographers as he arrived at the court. More than 100 curious gath cred to witness his surrender.
 T am going to jail with a clear conscience" Townsend said as he surrendered. And I will come out with clear conscience.
 q am going to jail for a just cause and right cause and when l come out of jail, I will have the support of the people as never be- fore"
 Accepts Statement
 After quoting the request of Bell that Townsend be pardoned on grounds "he was under the influence of men of stronger will and intelli- gence than his own and that they were far more responsible for his offense than the doctor himself the White House statement declared:
 "The President, therefore, has pardoned Dr. Townsend"
 The White House action was somewhat unusual in that under usual procedure requests for par dons must be made by the person convicted and the application is then referred to the justice depart ment for consideration. In the Townsend case, the pen sions advocate did not personally ask a pardon and the appeal was not referred to the justice depart ment.

 Bearing in mind," the report con- cludes, "that the board has been obliged to set a minimum wage in the midst of unusual business con- ditions, it recommends to the com- missioner that after the wage order has been in effect for year he reconvene this board to consider the effects of its decision, and if business conditions have improved, to consider setting higher mini num-"
 In commenting upon the report, MT. Tone stated that he feels the rate should be higher but that busi- ness at present does not seem to warrant it.
 '"The boards study shows that a 30 cent wage is all the industry can bear at present. hope, though, that it will be raised at some future time when business is better"
 Public Hearing
 A public hearing will be held May 5 at p. m. in the old senate chamber, state capitol to consider the recommendations he said. At that time, anyone, whether or not directly affected by the proposed minimum wage, who wishes to speak in favor of it, or in opposition to the report, will be given an op- portunity to be heard.
 Following the hearing, the com missioner will approve or reject the report. If approved, the recommen- dations will be issued in the form of a wage order to be sent to all laundries employing women and minors. During the first three months compliance is voluntary and is enforced only by public opinion. Thereafter, if conditions warrant the order will be given the force of law.
 Thoe In Attendance
 Representing the public on the board were Nathan Sachs, New Ha- ven lawyer, Miss Leila Thompson of Hartford, attorney for the Connectu- cut Mutual Insurance company, and Miss Florence Harrison of North ford, professor of government at Connecticut College for Women and vice-preSident of the Connecticut League of Women Voters.
