Conn. Recreational Sport like Advantages Pre-
 sented in Pictures

Several reels of film depicting various phases of Connecticut rec reational and sportlife advantages are available through the state publicity commission, 1t was an- nounced today.
 Bookings will be accepted for showing before school, club or so- ciety audiences anywhere in the state. according to the commission, without any charge.
 This motion picture is being made available by the state publicity com mission to the general public through the courtesy of Austin F. Hawes, head of the state forestry department.
 State Forester Hawes recorded the scenes with a motion picture camera on his trips around the state to the countless beauty spots and vacation spots.
 Projection is supervised by a forest fire warden, E. M. c. Eddy who explains the story of the state as unfolded in this picture.
 It Is expected that this medium of focusing the attention of the people on recreational facilities will be of great benefit to the viewers and also the state.
 For one thing, the commission holds that the film will acquaint countless persons with the fact that Connecticut has wide diversity of parks, forests and picnic areas which are readily accessible and available at all times throughout the year for the enjoyment of sports.
 Among the places picturized in the reels are historic shrines, public owned shore resorts, parks, forests, lake and river areas. Included also is showing of the forest fire fight ing methods employed in Connecti- cut which serve as a pattern for similar work in many other states.
 Immediate showings can be arr ranged by communicating with the state publicity commission, room 204, State Office building, Hartford.

F RELATIVES OF
 1 SENATOR TRIED
Senator Dennis Chavez of New Mexico to Testify
 for Defense
BY ROBERT WEAR

NOAhAtCu AACoO 0t0A OVAAGoRVAA4CASI
 Albuquerque, N. M, Jan. 30.-- (UP) Senator Dennis Chavez's sis- ter, son-in-law, and 45 other defend ants went on trial in federal court today charged with trafflcing with Works Progress Administration jobs for political purposes. Twenty-four other persons will be tried later on the same general charges.
 Shavez was here and may testify as a defense witness. Carl Hatch, New Mexico's other member of the United States Senate, and John j. Dempsey, one of its members in the national House of Representatives, indicated that they too would tes- tify for the defense if they could get away from Washington. To tes- tify, they would have to waive their congressional immunity.
 Hopkins Prosecutor
 The prosecution was instituted by former WPA Administrator Harry L. Hopkins, who last fall summarily discharged the New Mexico admin istrator, Fred Healey. Later a fed- eral grand jury indicted Mrs. Anita Tafoya, Chave'S sister, tSanley w. P. Miller, his son-in-law, who was an assistant federal attorney, Chav- ez's secretary, Joe Martinez, and 68 others.
 Forty-seven persons, including Mrs. Tafoya and Miller, were charged with overt acts under con- spiracy counts. The others were charged with diverting WPA jobs for political purposes and with as- sessing the ages of WPA workers for political purposes. These latter 24 will be tried later.
 In Three Campaigns
 The irregularities were alleged to have taken place in three cam pagns: the one which preceded an election on a constitutional amend ment on Sept. 21, 1887, to remove the Imitation on the governors tenure to two consecutive, two year terms an Albuquerque city election; and a fight in the New Mexico legislature to obvate state nominating conven- tionS.
 In each contest, former Gov. Clyde Tingley was on one side and Chavez Dempsey and John E. Miles, former Democratic state chairman, who be- came governor Jan. 10, were on the other. In each case, Tngley and his supporters were defeated. Tngley ap- pointed Chavez to the Senate to serve out the term of the late Sen. Pron- son Cutting. He subsequently, was elected and he and Tingley fell out.
 Political Machine
 Federal Attorney Everett Gram tham, Millers superior until Miller resigned, charged that the defend ants had conspired to build a poli- tical machine through their&contro of the employment and the assign. ment of WPA workers; that they hae required political contributions O. the workers; that they had usec force, threats and intimidation" t compel them to join Il political ac tion.
 He had subpoenaed 12l governmen witnesses.

tidal estuary of the Connecticut rover, for the purpose of examining and the nature and extent of saline intrusion into the river. This ex- planation will not mean much to the layman, but the importance of such z study to the Manufactur- CTS Association of Conn, Inc, the U. s. Bureau of Fisheries, the U. s. Coast and Geodetic Survey, the U. s. Department of Commerce. the U. s. Navy, the Conn. State Board of Fisheries and Game and many other national and state agencies is at once apparent to each group.
 Some idea of the enormity of the task may be gained from the fact that about 159,000 samples of river water, obtained from 76 stations, were taken during the three years of this projects operation. These samples were taken under all sorts of wather conditions by the samp- ling crews, some in boats and others from bridges. Each sample was an- alyzed for its chloride content and the results carefully recorded.
 COmmendat ton
 Sanford H. Wadhams, director of the state water commission, in a letter to State WPA Administrator Vincent J. Sullivan, says in part: Tn our opinion, this work has a very great deal of merit and, while not of popular interest, will be of great value to various technical agencies. There are number of reasons why this report would be of interest to these several agencies For one, it is the only longtime detailed report <that records salin- ity in a New England river and per- haps on the entire Atlantic sea- board. I wish to record my com mendation of the work done by the field men who have collected sam- pies, the chemists who have carried on the analytical work, and the office force that has prepared, cor- related and put into permanent rec ord these valuable data.
 Sets of these books have been sent to agencies and individuals to whom they would be of greatest interest and concern.

petition with the Tennessee Valley authority for what stockholders consider to be a fair price. The ad- ministration and the corporation are far apart, however, on price, and Hopkins may attempt to persuade the authorities to raise the bid.
 Fair Price Policy
 Hopkins was represented as believ- ing that if Fair Price" policy could be worked out the utility industry would be reconciled to the fact that henceforth there always will be a certain amount of government competition in the production of electric power. But if privately owned plans acquired by govern mental authorities were purchased at fairly satisfactory prices and if the charge for government-produced power were kept within a flair range" 1t was suggested here that the industry would be almost im- mediately stabilized. The desire for utility stability is primarily to re- establish utility securities as an at tractve investment for private funds.
 Labor Compromise Plans
 It was understood that the CIO. AFL and business groups probably will be asked to accept compro- mise program of national labor re- lations act amendments. The major changes would provide for: speecy determination in behalf of frequent ly perplexed employers of which of two unions groups rightfully was the bargaining agent in any plant; em- ployers to discuss unionization with their employees without becoming liable to federal penalties on charges of coercion or interfering with col- lective bargaining; efficient ma chinery to adjust jurisdictional dis putes between unions.
