 HELP FROM COURT
Advice on Disposition of S20,OOO Heard By Judge
 F. P. McEvOy

Bridgeport, May 25 - Executors and trustees of the estate of Mrs Joseph B. Wupperman, of Green wich, head of the Angostura Bitters company and mother of the movie actors, Ralph and Frank Morgan, yesterday asked superior court here for advince on the disposition of $20O00 in insurance money paid af- ter the death of Mrs. Wupperman The executors and trustees are Jose phine w. Langdon, of New York, a daughter, and the Chemical Bank and Trust Co. of New York.
 Judge Frank P. McEvoy reserved decision after brief hearing at which depositions from the two ac- torn were submitted to him. Counsel in the cases aid the question in- volved is principally one of law.
 The executors asked the court to decide if Mrs. Wupperman's five chil dren who were named beneficiaries in the policies are required to turn the money over to the estate to be used as the other personal proper ty: or whether they were to turn the money over to the estate if it had been insolvent. The state of Connec- ticut is party to the action, because the court is also asked to determine whether the money is subject to state inheritance tax.

Newfane, Vt, May 25-UP)- William Labelle, 35, of Burlington convicted of second degree murder after six hours deliberation by a jury last night, today awaited sen- tencing for the staying in January of Ong Fong, elerly Chinese, in his Bellows Falls laundry.

 The states share of fines and for feitures amounts to approximately $95, ,000 each year.
 Governor Baldwin had stressed the necessity of the diversions to bring the budget in line with esti- mated income.
 Today's action, however, left the administration short of its goal of a balanced budget and stil lpresent- ed the need of increased taxes, pre- ferably on liquor.

 A strong roads bloc" in the House opposes any diversion of money from the highway fund.
 Budget Top Heavy
 The governor, in his special mes sage, told the legislators the budget was out of balance $1,798,356 if the two highway fund measures were adopted. If these two bills were re- jected, the budget would be out of balance by 8 further $1,120,0O0, he said.

CITY MUST FIND
 FUNDS FOR VOTE
Referendum on City Man- ager Plan Necessitates
 Special Election Plans

The problem of raising funds to pay for the expenses of the city manager charter referendum Oct. 3 was to be one of the matters taken up by the board of finance at @ meeting this afternoon. The ref erendum will be held in place of the regular city election, which has been postponed to Nov. IA.
 At Hartford Tuesday night the senate concurred with the house n passing the referendum bill. All low needed to make the referendum a certainty is Gov. Raymond E, Baldwin's signature on the bill.
 It is expected that the finance board will ask the town clerk and the registrars to make 8 report of the probable expenses of such an election, or appoint a committee from it's own membership to esti- mate the cost.
 The referendum will place another drain on the city finances, which already have had the finance con- missioners worrying. The principal problem has been the raising of funds for welfare purposes, with the relief load at one of the highest peaks in the city history.
 The board this afternoon was to receive from its economy commit tee set of recommendations of savings that might be effected dur ing the remainder of the year. Heads of several city departments have been consulted by the committee, and a number of other such con- ferences are planned.
 Acting Controller James P. Pur- cell has suggested economies to- taling $86,000. Much of these sav- ings would be made by dismissal of city employees.

Proposed School Board
Chance Brinqs Protest

The Hampshire Heights Citizens
Association last night disapproved
the changing of the school board as
proposed in the Grif1enhagen report,
charging adoption of such a plan
would bring politics into the selec-
ton of members of the Board of
Education and thereby decrease the
efficiency of the staff.
R. H. Hunter, chairman of the
Law and Legislation Committee, in
troduced the resolution.
The association congratulated the
District Commissioners for adopting
pedestrian control and suggested a
ban on left-hand turns as further
safeguard. The association asked for
additional policemen and urged re-
voking of permits of all drivers in
the city found guilty of hit-and-run
accidents.
The association favored the Over
ton bill as an equitable plan for
governing the Federal payment to
the District.
