 The appropriations committee met in an all-day session yesterday to complete the final draft of the new budget. Indications were the budget would be ready for submis- sion to the General Assembly next week.
 What Governor Said
 If additional revenues are nec- essary, let us raise them for the pur- pose that really makes it necessary for us to raise them to pay the debt If additional taxes are necessary let's put them where they belong plainly labeled, for the debt.
 Lets not fool ourselves or pre- tend. We're $2,00O,00 in the hole this year, more if we want any new services, because we went $13000,00 into the red during the eight years just passed.
 We are facing, on small scale, the same thing that's going to face our whole country one of these days, if we don't stop spending and bor- rowing to spend, an4 running into the red. Sooner or later, some day, the day of reckoning always arrives.
 What People Face
 That's what we face, in Connec- ticut, here and now. We can pay our bill in only one of two ways. We can economize, go without some things, go without new things, cut down on education, cut all our other costs to the bone.
 "Or we can get the money to pay on our debt through additional taxes, and if we do that, we can, by practicing economy, have some of the things that otherwise we'd have to do without"
 The governor said expenditures for the current biennium ending June 3 would be $49,300,00O. A de- ficit of $1,500,00O was expected here.
 Income for the 1939-41 biennium, he said, was estimated at $40,50O,000 Various extraordinary costs, such as paying of the debt, will reduce this sum to about $44,000,000. Thus, the governor said, the state had only $44, 100000 available to pay for state costs which probably will amount to close to $50,0O0,0OO. Final Two Weeks
 Hartford, Conn.,, May 16-(UP)- The final two weeks of the general assembly may find the Senate and House working on a five-day sched- ule, it was indicated today.
 Sen. Anthony J. Rich, Bristol, Re- publican leader, said the work-week would be extended by one day if it were found the press of last minute business warranted.
 Both Houses already have aban- doned the agreement not to take up controversial issues on Fridays. The Legislature, by statutory re- strictions, must adjourn June 2.
 City Manager Date
 Hartford, Conn.,, May 16-UP)- Two bills, proposing city manager form of government at Waterbury and establishment of an admins trative code for the city, were print ed on the Senate calendar today and made the order of the day for May 23.
 The assignment was made at the request of Sen. George T. Culhane, D., Waterbury.
 The proposals grew out of the current municipal scandal in which Mayor T. Frank Hayes and 2 others are on trial on corruption charges before a superior court jury.
 ThOrnhiII Back in G. o. F.
 Hartford, Conn.,, May 16.-(UP)- Insurgent Republican Sen. John S. Thornhill, Brookfield who deserted the administration early in the leg islative session to throw control of the Senate to the Democrats, voted with his party today for the first time in months, giving rise to re- ports he would stick with the Re- publicans for the remainder of the session.
 His vote on minor tax bill to- day caused 17-17 tie which was broken by Lieut.-Gov. James l.. Mo- Ccnaughy, Republican, for pass age.
 It was understood that Thorn hill, who split with his party over the dual-job holding bill, had been asked to confer with Gov. Baldwin, presumably over his return to the administration fold.
 Appears At Cows Office
 The senator appeared at the gov- ernor's office this morning, bearing a note, but the executive was ab- sent. A conference was arranged later in the day.
 Significantly, it was pointed out that until yesterday democratic and republican leaders virtually had agreed on slate of minor court judgeships. whereby the appoint ments would be split evenly be- tween the parties.
 Today, however, republicans were reported as disposed to delay on the nominations and present the entire program to the judiciary com- mittee.
 Should the Thornhill realli8nce occur meanwhile, republicans would be in position to swing the judge ships through the senate with ap- parent ease, regardless of Demo- cratic sentiment.
 Not only were judgeships remain ing to be settled before the June adjournment, but county commis- sionerships in the eight counties still were hanging fire and awaiting agreement.
 The bill on which Sen. Thornhill voted approval today gave permis- sion for municipalities to spread taxes for new expenditures over a five year period to relieve the tax load.
 Sen. John L. Sullivan, D., New Britain, charging the measure was "slieaked in,' oppoed 1t on grounds it was "aimed at New Britain" which a month ago was refused au- thority to issue sizeablc bond is-
