Connecticut Citizens Committee Asks Town Selectmen to Provide List of "Drinkers" On Relief-No Relief Funds for Refreshments, Slogan of Drive.

Connecticut Citizens Committee, we remain,
 "Very truly yours,
 CONNECTICUT CITIZENS
 COMMITTEE, INC."
 Donald G. North, prominent in- surance executive, who is the state chairman of the civic organization stated that:
 "A preliminary investigation by members of the Connecticut Citi- zens' Committee in their various towns, disclosed that in certain in- stances an alarmingly high portion of the daily receipts of retail liquor and beer outlets is made up of town relief checks-some of them in the amount of eight and ten dollars each. This situation can be correct ed to a large extent through the cooperation of the various town au- thorities with their relief agencies in complying with Section l069c ol the State Statutes. The members of the Connecticut Citizens Committee hope that our letter will bring the subject to the attention of the prop CT local authorities and that We vii! have their full and sincere coopera- tion,"

RABBI WISE ON
 SPEAKERS LIST
Noted Spiritual Leader to Address Boston COnven-
 ton Next Sunday

Rabbi Jonah B. Wise, national e-chairman of the American Jewish joint distribution commit tee, and one of the foremost leaders in American-Je Jewish life, will be the principal speaker at the New Eng land regional conference of the joint distribution committee to take place in Boston Sunday, Jan. 29, at the Hotel Somerest. The session will begin at 10 a m. and will contiue all day.
 Spiritual Leader
 Rabbi Wise, spiritual leader of Central synagogue, New York, has been an important and active in- fiuence in Jewish affairs for many years. He has the distinction of having helped in the reconstruc- tive aid of central and eastern Jews during their most trying period in modern history. In May 1885, the Hebrew Union college conferred on Rabbi Wise the honorary degree of Doctor of Hebrew Law in recogni- tion of the place he occupies in American-Jewish leadership, and in acknowledgement of his activity in behalf of overseas relief during the past few years. Last summer he at tended the governmental re- form conference at Evian, France, at the call of President Roosevelt.
 In view of his intimate association with the refuge problem in all it's phases, it is expected that Rabbi Wise will present a complete report on the desperate situation on tens of thousands of helpless, homeless refugees, wandering in strange lands. He will tell of the joint dis tribution committees program for giving these starving families maxi mum aid, for reconstructing their lives and training them to new oc- equations.
 Leading Figures
 Other outstanding figures, closely concerned with the situation in Europe, who will address the con- ference are Joseph c. Hyman, exe- cutive director of the American Jewish distributing committee; Da- vid H. Sulzberger. vice-president of the national coordinating commit tee fund and chairman of the Greater New York coordinating com-

GASOLINE WAR
 WEARS TRUCE
Many Local Dealers Re- store Prices to Higher
 Levels Today

The majority of Waterbury gaso- line stations restored prices to higher levels today following an agreement reached yesterday at a meeting at the station owned by Edward Lane, president of the Wa terbury Gasoline Retailers Associa- tion, Meadow and West Main streets.
 Prices which prevailed during the two weeks war, 12 1-2, 13 1-2, and IS 1-2, were raised to Is for third grade, Is 1-2 for geenral and 18 1-2 for ethyl, in that order.
 All but three dealers agreed to restore the lowest price to 15 cents at the meeting yesterday. President Lane said today that despite the in- crease, the cost per gallon is tsill one and three-tenths less than 1t was in pre-war days.
 The agreement to restore higher prices is tentative, and will remain in eeffct for trial period of one month, according to MT. Lane Huge signs which advertised cut rate prices were, for tn emost part, torn down today, and gasoline dealers pledged themselves to CO., operate in a move for the enforce ment of the recently passed ordi- nance governing the size of such signs.
 Starting at 10 a. m. the meeting continued until late in the after noon. The 35 members present agreed, on their word of honor, to maintain the accepted prices, and not to grant any discounts.
 The association passed a resolu- ton urging all motorists to ask for a copy of Gasoline Bulletin, which may be obtained at any station. The inside story of the gas price war is said to be contained in the bulletin.
 Dealers who were making but one or two cents per gallon profit dur ing the war, will realize about four cents per gallon profit by the new prices.

PLAYING WITH
 FIRE RANKIN
l93S Flood Control Act Not to Be Changed; Gov
 Aiken Ridiculed

Washington. Jan. 23-(UP)-Rep. John E. Rankin, D., Miss, told states right" advocates today that they were playing with fire" in in- sisting upon state consent to federal flood control.
 Both he and Chairman Will M. Wilmington, D., Miss of the house flood control committee, asserted that the 1888 flood control act giv- ing the government right to con- demn land without state consent would mot be changed under any circumstance"
 Both said that the government has a clear right to proceed with condemnation of lands for public purposes without state consent. Rankin said it was "an inherent power of government practiced from the start of this station;" Whiting ton said it had been established for lat least 60 years.'
 They cited federal condemnation of lands for buildings, parks, post offices and other purposes.
 Gov. Leon c. Philipps of Okla homa, and Republican Gov. George D. Aiken of Vermont, have chal- lenged the 1888 flood control act as an invasion of states right" Aiken obtained a state appropriation of $60,000 to fight the act. The Okla homa legislature passed a resolution calling on Congress to hold up ap- preparations to the $54,000,000 pro posed dam across Red River until the state could investigate and de- termine whether 1t was acceptable.
 Sen. Elmer Thomas, D., Okla, advised representatives of Phillips that if a blanket grant of consent to federal exercise of eminent do- main were repealed by the legisla- ture the state might lose dozens of projects of every type.
 "We're not going to change this law to satisfy some squawking," Rankin said. "These fellows are cut ting off their noses to spite their faces. They are in danger of losing other projects of any type.
 "They can't stop us from building flood control dams, where and when we want to. Aiken had just as well be in Timbuctoo. He'd be just as effective there. They just don't want us to develop power. All this fuss is coming from the power trust"

The Connecticut Citizens Com mittee revealed today that they had inquired of the various selectmen through the state as to whether or not q list of drinkers on relief had been filed with the liquor and beer permittees in their towns.

The list must include drinkers who have received town aid within six months. No liquor and beer re- taller shall sell alcoholic beverages to such persons on penalty oi me imprisonment, or both.

 Drastic Reform
 Candidates for city and town court judgeships about the state will nc doubt oppose Gov.

CT communities may enter the juris- diction of courts in larger towns il the voters of the smaller places SC decide.
