 "As for federal reorganization, op- position is largely political on the part of the objectionists. President Taft wanted reorganization; so have other presidents. I am for the bill, if it is properly revised"
 Himself?
 T eat as much as when I was 18. I don take as long walks at night because of the traffic. And haven't much time to read all I want. I get my relaxation by get ting among the people. It's re- lief rather than burden"
 The governor has speaking en- gagement almost every night in every section of the state.
 Sleep? At least seven or eight hours a night-all through life. If you can't get 1t in at night, try to sleep a little before dinner. I do."
 But it was about foreign affairs the governor wanted to talk. "No- body knows what may occasion a war;" he said. Tt doesn't look like one immediately, though. Not this year.
 Great Britain. will not interfere with Germany's march to the east. You know, I think dictatorships will be overthrown by the rise of the peasantry. That is especially true where dictators try to control the church. Religious traditions are very strong. Hitler is making a mistake-so is the Soviet. Mus solini has not taken stand against the church.
 Great Britain will regain her supremacy. AS time goes on she will become a stabilizing influence as she was before the war Through rearmament she will regain her own position. The trouble with Great Britain Is she relied too much on the League of Nations and didn't rearm.
 T don't know whether the League will be revived. Sanctions didn't work. If Germany goes too far, Italy might object. Mussolini and Great Britain are likely to pull to- gether in the next few months.
 T don't expect the United States is going into a European war or into the Far East. But I think we have to have an army to protect ourselves, and a good navy especially in the Pacific. To insure safety you've got to have a force that's behind this conception of peace. We want peace. We've got to be ready to enforce the idea of peace. There is no use talking of peace unless we have adequate defense"
 As for his Connecticut accomplish ments ana the future, the governor said i've are keeping all necessary functions alive att he least possible expenditure.
 We have reduced our highway death toll so that we have one of the best records in the country. We are well-known for our good roads. The old-style road no long CT is any good. We have elimin- ated waterbound macadam roads. In ] the future we'll have roads divided by lanes.
 We have a good school system. We'll make it better.

Wants Connecticut Best Governed State in Entire
 Union," He Says
BY JACK AMMAN limited Press Staff CorreSnOndentl


 Hartford, Conn, April 8.-(UP)- Striving to make Connecticut "the best-governed state in the union, Gov. Wilbur L. Cross, 76 Sunday and the oldest governor in the United States, said today that re- gardless of whoever IS hit" he was happy two grand jury investiga- tions were proceeding in the state.
 Without referring directly to jury activities at Bridgeport and Water bury, the governor said in birth day anniversary interview: Some people say am worried about the weak spots in our state. T am not worried. I am glad they are being cleaned up-whoever is hit"
 Hale, hearty and joua1, the gov- ernor said he has dedicated the advanced years of his life ito the days work trying to make Connec- ticut the best place in the United States to live"
 T want first-class, efficient gov- eYnment," he said, "a business gov- ernment. Reorganization will be continued in the various depart ments of the government. There will be some mergers. We are go- ing through every department see- ing how we can become more eff cient and how to make every dollar count"
 As for national and international affairs, war scares and bigger armies and navies, the governor said:
 T am for peace and security. But that doesn't mean that we in the United States should not have a strong navy, good army and a good aviation setup. We must be ready for any emergency but at the same time we must keep our ideas on peace and security.
 War is a calamity. Nobody wins in wars between nations"
 The governor, as usual, will visit his Mansfield birthplace within the next wo or three days. He always does that about birthday-time.
 T plan to visit old grist mill and saw mill owned and run by my father" he said. Saturday morn ing the 169th infantry band will serenade him outside his window at the state capitol and a round of festivities will last through the day and Sunday.
 The depression?
 I'm not so alarmed as Senator Maloney is. (Sen. Francis T. Ma loney, D., Meriden). I don't think it's necessary to have huge spend- ing program. Depressions work themselves out. One of the reme- dies is we've got to increase our foreign trade.
 You've got to be careful about slamming business. True, you want to correct abuses. But 1t must be
