LABOR. GROUP BUSY

LABOR GROUP BUSY
 Hartford, Conn.,, May 2-(UP)- Connecticut's legislative labor com- mittee today took a pioneer step in American labor legislation by vot- ing favorable report on bill pro- viding that lay-offs in private in- dustry shall be conducted on a seniority basis.
 Connecticut legislators believed no other state in the Union has similar legislation. The bill provided:
 If an employer decided because of slack business to cut his staff, he first must reduce the work week to 32 hours.
 Then, if the absence of work necessitated a reduction below 32 hours, those persons laid of shall be in accordance with seniority rights. The employees longest in the employ of the concern would be the last to be let go. When rehir- ing took place, these same employees would be the first to be rehired.
 The employer could take into con- sideration special knowledge of em- ployes Up to 10 per cent of the num- Der of persons laid of.
 No seniority record of less than six months would be recognized. Employees recalled for rehiring would be required to report within 48 hours or lose their seniority rights.

2 Commanders Reach Scene With Navy Plan
tContinued from Page D

during Q routine submersion test Tuesday morning but the general theory has been that the main air induction valve failed to close before the dive and flooded the after com- partments.
 Capt. William Amsden has for- bidden any of the survivors to dis cu=3 the sinking even among them selvas, and warned that any infrac- tion would be punished.
 Deep Diving Races
 A new theory, lacking any other confirmation, cropped up in Buffalo, N. r., where Miss Dorothy Balcom, B waitress, received a letter from her sweetheart, Jack J. Rodstrom, a sea- man aboard the Subamrine Sculpin, saying that his ship and the Squalus had been having "deep diving races" !"
 The Sculpin was first to reach the scene of the Squalus' mishap Tues day which it located by means of a buoy, released by the Squalus.
 Rowstrom's letter said: "We on the Sculpin made our deep dive on April IS to 262 fet, just exactly the required depth. The two ships have been here since Jan. 3 and the crews have jollied and competed against each other in trials and similar events. That is one of the main reasons for the accident, we believe. In our preliminary trials we made the fastest diving time ever made for ship our size and the Squalus was naturally out to beat us"
 The survivors, headed by Lieuten- ant Oliver F. Naquin, the Squalus commander remained idle here, still

on active duty ana technically still assigned to the Squalus. All but three had been dismissed from the Navy hospital. The three, Lieut.. J. c. Nichols, Radio Operator Charles Powell and Yeo1nan Charles S. Kuney, were suffering from slight bronchial infections.
 Try To Console Afflicted
 Families of the survivors were trying to console those of the dead. The 26 lost were IA single and 12 married men. One of the widows is pregnant. Eight fatherless children were left on Portsmouth by the dis aster. The wives of Lieut.. Naquin and Capt. Anlsden were calling on relatives of all those lost, extending their sympathies. Mrs. John A, Chestnut, wife of one of the victims, still refused to believe that all hope for her husband was gone.
 Five of the men who did not come back left automobiles parked at the Navy yard when they boarded the Squalus at 6 8. m. Tuesday. Com mander Albert E. Stone, chaplain of the yard, took charge of them.
 Some of the bereaved families suggested a mass funeral when the bodies are taken from the Squalus, but Stone opposed the idea because it might develop hysteria.

 Rev. pr. Cryne Director
 The Waterbury office is directed by Rev. Dr. Eugene P. Cryne, pastor of St. Patrick,s church. The staff consists of Miss Agnes c. pitzpat- rick, family welfare supervisor; Miss Edna Mae Maloney, child welfare supervisor; and Misses Margaret Te- han and Margaret L.eary, assistants.
 The report states that the Water bury office in 1888 again had the services of Dr. Christina Leonard, pSychiatrist, and pr. Helen Bechtel, psychologist, through the courtesy of the Waterbury Society for Mental Hygiene.
 Others Thanked
 Also thanked for their cuOpera- tion are the Waterbury Visiting Nurse association and Miss Mar garet Kennedy, nutritionist. Twen- ty-eight children attended the V. N. A. camp at Lake Quassapaug, and IA boys spent part of the summer at Camp Palmer, Oxford. The aid of Waterbury Council of Catholic Wo- men is also cited.
 Three college girls did volunteer work with the Waterbury office of the Diocesan Bureau in the summer ofl938. A sewing class was coliduc- ted by the Bureau, under the super vision of Mrs. Mary Skahal1, CO., chairman of the garment committee of the Waterbury Council of Cath olic Women.
 St. Joseph's Orphanage
 The diocesan report points out that nine children were cared for during the year at St. Joseph's or- ptanage, Waterbury. In addition. foster care was provided for two children.
 Rev. Joseph J. valentiejus, super intendent of the orphanage, ex- presses gratitude to the Waterbury Council of Catholic Women and the Waterbury chapter of the College of 6C. EllzapetQ AluundS 3SSOClatlOA.

swer 1t yes or no.
 c. You can't give me any au- thority?
 A. There is no authority for missing records.
 @. Now, will you tell me how much of this sum that was paid to these defendants was paid before the account was over-expended and was paid as reflected by the war rants payable sheets which show the signature of the Board of Finance?
 A. I can't tell you.
 Honest Effort
 @. Do you mean to tell me that you are making an honest effort to give this jury the facts when the only thing you come in here with is how much money these defendants received, based upon various adding machine slips, based upon similar ity of amounts, against which you can't find anything similar, and without telling them at the same time that there was an appropria- ton set up for all these amounts, and how much was charged against those appropriations? Answer that question.
 A. have made every honest ef- fort and I believe, MT. Seaman, yes, l do still think so, in the absence of records I have done the best I could be permitted to.
 O. MT. Brown, as long as there is an appropriation made at any time during that year that that ac- count was over -expended-is that an illegal payment?
 A. No payments made subsequent to the time the appropriation is ex- pended. Every payment made sub- sequent to that time is an illegal payment in connection with the provisions of the charter.
 Q. Is there a provision in the charter which provides g transfer from one account to another?
 A. Within the departments, yes.
 c. How about outside the depart inent?
 A. They can be made in the last month of the year only.

the greater portion of 1t" went to those two companies and Santalu- cia.
 Bitter Criticism
 Browns computations of the amounts of funds expended was subjected to bitter criticism by Sea- man, who objected most particular ly to Browns reconstruction via similarity of amounts"
 Seaman, an accomplished ac- countant and lawyer, recently added to the defense staff, brought out that some items traced by "similar- ity" were not similar to any amounts paid the involved individ- ual during that period of time.
 He further showed that two of the items listed as paid to Santalu- cia through that procedure, were not similar to any amounts shown paid to him during that particular year.
 Brown refused to give 8 categori- cal answer to question in which Seaman challenged him to give the authority of law or accounting which gave him justification for the charging of items to individuals on the basis of such alleged similarity.
 Seaman insisted that inasmuch as the Connecticut Supply Company is not Q defendant, the payments, to- talling $2o4, 4,773.60 should be sub- tracted from the grand total of $3,- Al ,486. leaving an amount Of $l,- 8Ss, s,s45, allegedly paid to the de- fendants.
 Would Need Two Weeks
 Any attempt to show the status of an appropriation at the time the various payments were made to de- fendants would require at least two weeks work, Brown said, but he vol- unteered to comply with any such request if it were made by Seaman. He said that the figures he gave for over expenditures of appropriations were given on the basis of the ari- nual total.
 He said. in answer to. a question by Seamaia. that he believed, in the absence of city records, he had giv- en an honest picture of the city's finances. He added that every pay- rient made after an Appropriation was oy6t.expended. was illegal.
 During . heated moment. in which Brown apparently was hedg- ing, seaman cried, You hate to give me the right answer. don't you MT. Brown.
 "i,m giving you the right answer" i" was the steady reply.
 that the ei .e5e.e1e does not repre- sent money paid to the defendants without an appropriation" Seaman continued. "AEd cannot say that, ycplied Seaman.

 Sweet hailed MT. Roosevelt as the savior of the nations economic structure in 1883. He made 1t clear that he had no voice in organization politics of Colorado but said that he and others certainly planned to have & say when the state delega- ton was being selected for the 1940 convention.
 Former Governor Emphatic
 Former Governor David Sholtz of Florida dropped into the White House press rom yesterday for a brief chat. He declared unequivoca- bly, for MT. Roosevelt should he de- sire to ruin again, asserting that in his travels about the country he had observed no diminishing in the sentiment of the rank and file for the president.
 Former Governor Nelson c. Kras- chel of Iowa left the White House this week saying that President Roosevelt, or someone in harmony with his views, must be the l940 Democratic nominee.
 Other callers, who presumably discussed politics with the presi- dent recently, have been Mrs. Mil- dfed F. Jaster, national committee woman from Ohio; Isidore Dock weller, former California leader; sen. Sheridan Downey, D., Calif.; Sen.
