London, Feb. 7-(UP)-An eXplo- sion and fire at the Stepney bor- ough council electricity works today caused furry of activity among policemen guarding strategic. parts of the city against a series of bomb ing outrages attributed to the out. lawed Irish Republican army.

 It was announced officially at Bel fast that the proposed visit to Ire. land of the Duke and Duchess oi Kent, scheduled for March 2, hae been postponed until later in tho year. Previously, the northern Irisf cabinet had received evidence indi eating that members of the Irisf Republican army planned a series O. outrages, including bombings and { train wrecking, during the visit.

Democrat Legislative Reporter
 State Capitol, Hartford, February 2. = What may be an effort to rush" the Wa terbury city-manager refer erdum bill through the Leg isHature was seen today in the announcement by Sena- tor Audubon Secor, Socialist of Bridgeport chairman of the Cities and Boroughs committee. that on Thursday, Feb ruary i6, hearings will be held on number Of Waterbury bills, in- clUding the one calling for the city manager referendum.
 Senator Secor told The Democrat thss morning that he had not plan- nod to hold any hearings on Wa terbury bills before March l. but upon the insistence of Senator George T. Culhane he was schedul- ing hearings on ten measures for the 18th of February. Senator Gull hane insisted. Chairman Secor, stated, that hearings on his bills corcerning charter changes be held at an early date. He accordingly has arranged for hearings on ten bills in all. six of them Culhane measures.
 Chairman Secor also said that ne had many requests from the Citi- zens Good Government Association Of Waterbury for preferential date for the city manager Dill.
 Little Time Given
 That opposition will develop to the early hearing on the proposed referendum is certain, inasmuch as 1t gives Waterbury citizenry only nine day in which to become familiar with the terms of the pro posal. There may be some effort made to postpone hearing on this bill. but from what Chairman Secor said this morning to The Democrat 1t is obvious that he now is intent on placing all the Waterbury bills on the calendar as rapidly as pos sible.
 The bill calling for the city man. ager referendum was introduced by Representative Hugo L. Guastaferri. It was drafted by the Citizens Good Government Association and is based in large part on the proposed city charter recommendations made in 1930-3i by the charter commis- sion. The bill provides that the vot- CTS of Waterbury approve or reject at . special referendum the pro- posed new charter which sets up city-manager- form govern ment. The referendum would be Continued on Page 9

like TO find two members of the
Legislature who are willing to
debate both sides of the question
of co-education.
Invitations were extended last
week to Rep. George E. Holt, of
Miami, and Rp. Fuller Warren, of
jacksonville. and more than 200
girls attended the meeting. The
speakers, however, failed to ap-
pear.
So the burning question of the
campus, in all probability, will
remain unanswered because tae
Legislators are in the thick of a
hectic session and may not have,
time TO fill the roles of debaters.

Friends may think the wounds

Little do they know of the sor-

That lies in my heart concealed.
God loved them too so he thought

To take them home to be at rest,
And now they calmly sleep at

All pain, all grief, all suffering

Upon their silent graves,
