Predicts organized campaign tO
 repeal law on Sunday Sales. Louis Violette, of A East Dover street, and Frank Traonetti, of 70l South Main street. Dec. 24 in viola ton of the sunday"sales statute,
 Address Corrected
 McGrath argued for discharge on the additional grounds that De- tectlve Lieut.. Cornelius A. Shana- han yesterday testified Matney's store Is located at 828 Baldwin street, while today he contradicted his testimony and agreed with the def0nse that the store is really lo- cated ct 836 Baldwin street, The case was continued yesterday for 0 check-up on the real location.
 Asked by Attorney McGrath to explain the discrepancy in his tes- tinony, Lieut.. Shanahan said:
 "lNell, you see It's this way. When [ went up the first time I could have sworn the number printed on the awning was BPS, but yesterday I checked up and found that the awning is creased The crease made the 3 look like q. g."
 Preylews Campaign
 The greater part of Medrath's defense was concerned with Q review of the current campaign against Sunday sellers.
 "What the butchers should do," Mcdrath advised, ds to organize and send to Hartford legislators to repeal the statute in l04i. In the meantime they must endure it."

Police Should Obtain Evidence, Not Hired
 Says Defense Counsel
Baldwin Street Grocer Fined S25, Costs = Counsel Declares Merchants Here Will Organize
 to Effect Repeal of Law

"TheSe cases are establishing a precedent, which if 1t spreads, will become serious" McQrath said Agents are being employed by the Waterbury Butchers and Grocers association to induce other small storekeepers to commit crimes, Q situation which is creating an in- centive to youth to seek positions oi that kind."
 ITO give a man Q police record on evidence secured by these so-called detective is Q bad thing" McGratll continued. We have sworn police. men in the city to enforce the law If the police had made the arrests gone there and secured evidence, t would be different"
 Asking Questions
 "The storekeeperS are asking why this law should be enforced. Many of them didn't know 1t existed be. fore this campaign. They Ire asking why the statute Isn't being enforced in other cities around the state."
 The attorney then asked why his client should be given Q police rec- ord on evidence secured by ESQ. called" detectives.
 If my client is discharged" he promised, T feel that the nler- chants will stop organizing in this way, and will take the matter tc Hartford"
 Prosecuting Attorney Michael J Galullo pointed out that 1t makes no difference where store is To- cated. He said the case centered on the fact that Matney sold the ham and cheese and the testimony oi Traonetti and Violette was suffl- clent to prove that fact.
 Law on the Books
 Commenting on the widespread talk, argument, and publicity which enforcement of the law has provok- ed, Galullo said that the law Is on the book and must be enforced. In regard to Modrath's comments on the so-called detectives, dalullo re- marked that 1t would be ridiculous to have fully.uniformed policemen go into stores and expect merchants to sell them foods in violation Of the statute.
 Judge daffney, in passing sen- tenced, said the court is concerned only with the statute, He said that other matters brought up are extra enous to the case.
 Tt Is not for this court to eom- ment on the law itself," the judge declared.
 He then imposed Q fine of $2B and costs, saying that the fines are the best way to enforce the law,
 Mcdrath asked why Matney should be fined OPS and costs, when the bunch of storekeeperS arrested with him and tried by Judge Theo- bald E. Conday were lot go with suspended sentences.
 "rhe court Is concerned with each case separately daffney said.

GIVE FARMS BACK
 TO FARMERS--COV.
Too Much Government In. reference Says Gov.
 Baldwin to State Grange

Hartford, Conn.,, Jan. ii.-(UP)- Gov. Raymond E. Baldwin said to- day 1t was time for the government to quit giving the farmer programs to aid agriculture. Let the farmer he said, tell government whaeto do
 The governor spoke ct tho 6bth annual meeting of the state Grange My own belief" he said, "is we have too many government Yarn programs. It is time government listened to the farmer c bit; lot him tell Us what to do: stop telling him.
 T believe that if we are ever to obtain solution of the farmers prob- lenns, those solutions must como from the farmers themselves. Gov ernment cannot run farms, Theories will not grow crops, nor find rnar- kets for them. Subsidies may Do as welcome to the distressed farmer as relief is to the unemployed city dweiler, but subsidies do not solve the farmers problems any more than does relief provide employ- inent.
 we are fooling ourselves If we believe that farm subsidies solve the farm problem"
 The governor again stated 1t was not his intention to divert state highway funds to other purposes than road-building and maintenance and added Connecticut needed more farm. n.to-flArket roads.
 Sherman K. Ives, Morris, was elected president of the Grange for the next year, succeeding Edgar L.. Tucker, Shelton. Other officers named were: Harry |. Page. duil- ford, steward; Rev. Charles A.
