TROLLEYMEN OF
 STATE VOTING

New Haven, Conn, Jan. 6.-(UP). --Trolleymen throughout the state voted today whether to accept a compromise offer of the Connecticut company concerning wage increases, union recognition and vacations, af- fecting about 1000 employees.
 The union demanded a pay in- crease from 67 cents to 80 cents an hour, two weeks vacation with pay, pensions upon reaching retirement age and recognition of the Trolley mems Union as bargaining agent for employees.
 The company offered an inme- diate raise of one cent per hour with another similar increase tn June should business warrant, free unions for operators and union recognition.
 Failure to agree on the proposals would place the stalemate in the hands of an impartial board of ar filtration.

 New York, January 6. - Authorities were puzzling to- day over the revelation by Attorney George H. Cohen, of Hartford, Conn, who, yester- day, told the United States Attorneys office that he had known for three years that "F. Donald Coster," late head of McKesson & Robbins, was the ex-convict, Philip Musica.
 The Hartford attorney, for a long period an assistant United States attorney at Hartford, where he served with United States Senator John A. Danaher in a similar ca- pacity, told Assistant U. s. Attorney John w. Knox that he had con- sidered exposing Musica, but had decided he didn't have the right to unveil the arch swindler because he had learned of the latter's real identity in a confidential manner.
 Cohen said that he had learned that Coster was Musica when law suit was hreaehtr against the late head of McKesson and Robbins by the late Alfred J. Vitale, Brooklyn insurance man. Vitale was suing over 8 $20000 note.

BALDWIN SPEECH
 IS CRITICISED
WPA Administrator Sulli= van COntradicts GOver-

Hartford, Conn, Jan. 6-(UP)- Gov. Baldiwn said today he would confer with WPA Administrator Vincent J. Sullivan Monday con- corning letter in which the fed eral agent took issue with the chief executive over portions of his in- augural address concerning hurri- cane rehabilitation work of the government agency.
 The governor, referring to damage done to state parks and shore areas amounting to $400,0O0, declared a WPA project "has been asked for, but to date little or nothing has been done."
 Sullivan, at his New Haven head quarters, wrote that $1,090,000 had been spent on state parks and for ests and the federal government was paying wages amounting to 5000 a week to expedite rehabili- tation, but there had been a "con- tinued lack of cooperation" by state departments.
 Forced to Demand
 The federal administrator said he was forced to demand" that the project proposals be lived to, in view of the attitude of the state.
 At the same time Sullivan as- serted "it is imperative that be informed as quickly as possible whether or not the several state de- partments desire our continued CO., operation in the prosecution of existing projects and in probable work in the future.
 He added, because of this situa- ton I should appreciate it if you

 Professor Felix Frankfurter, New Deal godfather" was the latest and third Roosevelt nominee to the high court.
 Washington confidently expected further vacancies this year. Asso- ciate Justices Louis D. Brandeis, 82, and James F. McReynolds, 76, may resign. Brandeis is a liberal. Mc- Reynolds stands on the right flank of the right wing of bitter end op- ponents of the New Deal. If he leaves the court only Associate Jus tice Pierce Butler will remain of the never-surrender group which junked so much New Deal legislation in 1934-35. N..
