Governor
 grand total of 75 bills, all setting up changes in the present liquor stat utes, are set down for consideration by the judiciary committee.
 Waterbury will be well-represent- ed tomorrow, with large delegation due from the Brass City. The group will be headed by Harmon A. Genlot executive secretary of the Connecti- cut Restaurant and Liquor Dealers Board of Trade, and Patsy Brown, president of the Waterbury chapter of the state organization.
 This group is the sponsor of number of the bills to come before the committee at the hearings to- morrow. It will also register opposi- ticn to certain other proposed changes in the laws.
 Several liquor bills were intro duced by Senator George T. Gull hane of Waterbury, while other measures were offered by Senator Clapde V. Badger of Wolcott.
 Perhaps the most important bill to come up tomorrow is the one recom- m .nded by Governor Raymond E. Baldwin, which would set up a sin- gle-license system. Under the terms of this measure, the distinction be- tw cen taverns and restaurants would be removed. Establishments of both types would have full liquor privi- leges and would pay the same lic- ense fee to the state. In his inaugu- ral address Governor Baldwin advo- cated such system, but has not mentioned the matter often since that time.
 The Restaurant and Liquor Deal CTS Board of Trade is supporting bills calling for stricter enforcement of the present laws, with cities and towns failing in enforcement being obliged to pay the state for neces- Sary enforcement, and measures liberalizing the present time regula- tionS.
 The principal interest attaches to Governor Baldwin'S plan, since it would revolutionize the retail liquor business as known in Connecticut since repeal. It is the governors con- tention that taverns and restaurants with beer permits, who pay only a $50 fee, are violating the law by selling strong liquor in unfair com- petition with full-hcense restaurants which pay $750. The solution, he be- lieves, is a single-type license, with no food restrictions.
 Hearings on a number of bills of

Students Apply
 For IVA Allotments
Connecticut Credited With $9OOOO Appropriation to
 Meet Applications Students to Be Aided

The National Youth Administra- tion has completed an examination of 2879 student aid applications re- ceived from high school and college students who desired assistance for the 1938-39 school year, according to an announcement made today by Richard A. Barrett. state director.
 The study revealed that the fam- lilies of the high school applicants have an average income of $950 uer year. Fifty per cent of these fam lilies are now on direct relief in their communities, Or have received public aid at some tme during the last three years. The family in- comes registered on the college student applications were much higher than those on the high school applications, averaging $1,- 600 per year, and very few of these showed families on relief at any time. MT. Barrett pointed out that the latter income average was boost ed by the many applications received from college graduate students, whose families, although having a fair income, found it impossible to see them through more than four years of college.
 $9O,000 for State
 At the present time, the IVA em- ploys approximately 2,500 youths on its student aid program in this state. Of these, the greatest number are in high schools and trade schools, the remainder being in college. MT. Barrett said that the total expen- ditures for high school aid for this academic year ill Connecticut, will be slightly over $90,000 and that for college and graduate aid will be about $85,000.
 The administration of the entire student aid activity is placed in the hands of the local school officials the IVA merely exercises general supervision over the program in ad- dition to providing the funds to meet the payroll. High school boys and girls are allowed to earn a maxi mum of $6 per month doing so-

cially desirable work that is as- signed by the school principal. MT. Barrett emphasized that no one on this program receive assistance who does not work for it, and that the work cannot deprive anyone of regu- lar employment and must be com- pleted during out of school hours. College student are allowed maxi mum of twenty dollars a month, with graduate students being able to earn as much as forty dollars a month. Work is completed in the colleges under the same IVA regu- lations that govern the high schools.
 Essential Cases
 School authorities are instructed to approve only those idividuals whom they are reasonably assured would have to drop out of school unless they receiev this aid. It is for this reason that the MA

word of condemnation for the lead
ers and of comfort for the people?
Not only did they keep quiet about
the sin and corruption which they
saw about them, but they actually
encouraged their prominent and
wealthy church members" in their
sin by saying, "All is we'll" Such
religious leaders have not altogether
persisted from the earth.

The letter follows:

We demand human rights, social
justice, and economic security. Cor
rupt judges and taking Off
Gals must be put out of office. Land
lords must not squeeze every penny
out of their tenants; loan sharks
must be put out of business; the
rich must not Cypress the poor. The
Church must have ministers with a
real message and must share in the
solution of the problems of human
ity.
No, we did not copy that para
graph out of todays newspaper 1t
is the message that the prophet Mi
cab preached more than $500 years
ago. And what's more. he not only
presented theories. but he knew how
to accomplish his purpose of real
social justice. 1t is time some of
those who talk about this subject
got back to the Bible and really
learned how it can be done.
L. Social Injustice g: 1-l0).
The inhumanity of man toward
man is not something that just hap
pened. There are fundamental rea-
sons for such conditions, and they
are the same in our time as in Mi
cabs day. The responsibility rests
square!y on the failure of our ma
tional and spiritual leaders to per-
form their God-given tasks.
l. Rulers without Judgment g: IA,
9-lW.
The obligation of anyone who is
given or who seeks public office is
to know judgment. This does not
mean only that he is to have a gen
eral knowledge of the law and it's
technicalities; he is to know justice
in his very heart to love it, and to
see that it is always rightly admin
istered.
The leaders of Israel had woefully
failed, in fact had deliberately de-
parted from the standards of God,
and Micah exposed them in plain,
dramatic, Well-spoken words. While
verses and are not to be taken
literally, they do in striking fgura-
tive speech describe just what I'M
scrupulous politicians do to an I'M
suspecting people.

for reward and it's religious leaders

for reward and it's religious leaders
teach for hire" and its prophets
divine for money" ". I'D, there is
no use to talk piously about God
being with us.
The prophecy of verse II was full
filed three times-by the Chaldeans
in 586 B. c., by Titus in A. D. 70,
and under Hadrian in A. D. 1876.
God always keeps His promises,
even if the promise be a promise
of judgment.
2. True Security and Divine Bless
ing (6:6-0.
God is not to be propitiated by
the offerings of material things as
sacrifice or by any outward profess
sion of piety. He looks at the heart.
Verse is remarkable and beau
tiful epitome of Gods requirement
of man, namely, justice, kindness,
and humility; but note that this is
the requirement of the law, and
one which no man can possibly full
fill apart from Christ. 1t. is evil
dent folly for men to quote this verse
as did the agnostic Thomas Hulk
ley and others, to justify themselves
for not responding to the claims of
the gospel of Christ. Only Christ
can make any man capable of true
Justice constant kindness, and gen.
uine humility. Only thus can we
meet the demands of the law of God.
Real social justice and security
will come only as there is a recog-
milton of Jesus Christ as Saviour and
Lord by the leaders, by the prophets
and by the people.
