Publicity Commission
 Favors Name Change
Suggestion Made Department Be Called "Connecticut
 Development Commission" Annual Report Made

The State Publicity Commission it was revealed today, is in complete agreement with suggestions that the title of the department be changed to the Connecticut Development Commission.
 These recommendation affecting the Publicity Commission have been made recently by President E. Kent Hubbard of the Connecticut Marlu- lecturers Association and also by the industrial subcommittee of the Governors Rehabilitation commit tee.
 The need for the change was ap- parently foreseen by the Publicity Commission since the opinion favor ing a change of name is expressed in the current annual report, com piled several months ago and issued within the past few days. Touching on the matter of new title, the commission report, its sec- ond, states:
 Research, development, and pulp licity in behalf of every element ot the state, should, it is believed, be carried on by one commission" With additional funds, it would be possible for this commission, pos sibly with 8 change of title, to en- large its scope of functions ot in- clude research and development ac- tivities.
 Broad Program
 ''The broad program of the com mission would probably be better un- derstood by citizens if this depart ment were, as in many states known as the Connecticut Develop ment Commission.

 (In Prague, the government ad- mitted that frontier incident had occurred on the Hungarian bor- der but details were lacking. The Ukranian free corps mentioned in dispatches from Budapest apparent ly was connected with recent agita- ton for creation of an independent Ukranian state in territory now within the frontiers of Poland, Ru- mania, Soviet Russia and Czecho- slovakia. The Ukranians also seek a very thin slice of territory on the Hungarian frontier)
 Hungarian official messages said that the Hungarian garrison was not prepared for the attack from Czechoslovak territory but that Hungarian officers attached to the frontier demarcation commission immediately took command of the Munkacs garrison.
 The fighting continued for about five hours, the Hungarian dis patches said, after which the Czech oslovaks opened artillery i've on Munkacs, causing damage to eight public buildings.
 The fighting was progressing on Hungarian territory at mid-after- lnoon.

 Three men were arrested foi drunkenness after police dispersed 5f pickets in Dorchester. Police said the pickets were halting trucks and in- timidating drivers.
 No attempt to employ strikebreak- CTS was made by the employers. Drivers unaffiliated with the union voluntarily joined the strike in many cases.

Huge crowds, taxing the skill of Waterbury policemen, stormed the Big Dollar Market since its opening this morning at o'clock.

recommendation" in the commis- sion report concerns inter-depart- mental cooperation for the adequate distribution of information relative to the numerous state activities.
 Instances of requests from other state departments for cooperation, and in many cases actual service, have been increasing, the report notes. The commission, according to the document, welcomes the op- portunity to be of service in this way and suggests the problem which ap- parently exists should be studied to determine the additional steps which might be taken to assure ade- quate dissemination to the public of helpful information about the other state departments and their work.
 The commission also takes notice of highway tourist situation with the announcement that State Infor- nation Bureau be established near the Connecticut-New York botm- diary.
 In this connection, the report states that the commission is part of the vast group of citizens enthu- siastic in their admiration of the Merritt Parkway and that the state may well be proud of its first super highway and the plans for extend- ing it.
 Attention has been called, how ever, to one disadvantage, namely that travellers may be inclined to drive through the state without stopping.
 And in recognition of this, the commission believes it is timely tc urge this highway information booth housed approximately at the gate way to the state for the purpose o1 serving visitors and suggesting tours to various districts of the state. According to the commission, this arrangement would pay dividends tc the taxpayers and be a medium fol the presentation of extensive infor- nation relative to lodgings, meals maps and booklets used as guides tc the states recreational attractions.
 In the summary of work accom- plished in the past fiscal year, the commission reports there were 5000 inquiries from in and out-of-state covering every phase of activity industrial, recreational, government tai and others.
 Publicity Needed
 Prefacing the report, the commis- sion refers to an added need for publicity in light of the hurricane flood and tidal wave of September
 This section of the report brings out that the commission is aware that none of the states recreational facilities have been wiped out de- spite the story of destruction which had been spread throughout the country.
 There is every reason to believe that new and more beautiful home and recreational facilities will rise from the ruins and that in the ma jority of instances this transforma- tion will take place comparatively soon," is the commissions summa- tion.
 Continuing, the preface says:
 "It is of the utmost importance, therefore, that we utilize every op- portunity and every medium to em- phasize to the country that Connecti- cut will be adequately prepared to accommodate visitors next summer
 Because of the proximity of the New York Worlds Fair, 1889 should be an unusually profitable year for hotels, camps and real estate devel- opments which are looking to the commission to do this important educational job"

The 56 year old Harvard Law school professor long has been known for his liber- alism. General tenor of comment was that his legal background was of such caliber as to make him ex- tremely well qualified.
 A few Republicans expressed op- position. Rep. Parnell Thomas, R., N. J., recalled that Frankfurter was identified before the Dies un-Amer- ican activities Investigating com- mittee as director of the American Civil Liberties Union, and that the union was described as communis- tic.
 Johnson Calls Him Radical
 Hugh s. Johnson, former MIRA ad- ministrator, said Frankfurter was pretty radical"
 "If he isn't" said Johnson, "his principal disciples certainly are Everybody knows who his disciples are. Thomas Corcoran is one of them"
 The name of Judge Harold Stephens of the District of Columbia court of appeals came to the fore in speculation on the next likely supreme court appointee. There was gossip that this appointment may come in the near future, with Stephens taking Brandeis' place Some friends suggested that with Frankfurter on the bench, assuring continuation of his liberal philosophy Brandeis might step down. For sev- eral months, reports have circulated that Brandeis planned to retire, pos sibly to lead a New Jersey refugee movement
 Stephens May Be Next
 It had been widely reported that Stephens would be named to suc- ceed the late Associate Justice Ben- jamin N. Cardozo, whose seat Frank furter now takes. Stephens still is regarded as particularly available because he is a westerner-his home was in Utah until he came to Wash ington in 1933-and because, as now constituted, the court has only one westerner, Butler, from Minnesota A usually well informed congress sional leader told the United Press he understood that as late as last Tuesday, MT. Roosevelt planned tc nominate Stephens for Cardozo's seat. He said he was completely in the dark as to what brought about the change in plans-if actually there had been change.
