CANNETT ASKS
+. D. TO QUIT

NEW YORK-President Roose-
welt should resign, Frank Z. Gam
nett. candidate for Republican
presidential nomination, told the
National Republican club today IN
an address charging the New Deal
was leading the country into COL
lectivism.
Delivering his first major adj
dress since announcing his ls4o
candidacy. Cannot proposed con-
sress should begin at once to strip
the president Of extraordinary
powers.
The country, he said, is men,
aced by attacks from within
not from without-and by
dangers flowing from seven
years of mis- government
No emergency, war or other
wise, would warrant keeping
the Roosevelt administration
In office, he believed.
The nations problems remain
unsolved, the Rochester publisher
continued, despite tremendous
spending, heavy taxation and the
exercise of extraordinary execu-
tive powers.
I'VE must make plain as a
school child's problem" he said in
outlining the scope of his cam
paign year attack, "the historic
truth that relationships rise by
just such methods as the New
Dealers have used; and that die
tatorships finally must explode.
inflicting untold suffering on
everybody.
I'VE cannot pussyfoot and walk
the fence on this fundamental
issue. The New Deal Is leading
America straight into COLLECTIVE
ISM"

 Discharged
 Thomas OBrien, 31. of 610 Will son street, arrested \ H'ch g on a charge of evading responsibility after an accident on North Main stree, was granted discharge.
 Officer Donald Monaghan testified he heard the sound of an impact as he was making his rounds after mid- night, and saw O'Brien leave the scene of an accident. He said he blew his whistle twice but the mot orist failed to stop.
 The officer said he then comman- deered the other car involved in the crash and caught O'Brien in Ex- change Place.
 O'Brien, represented by Attorney Thomas McGrath, told the court he couldn't stop on North Main street because of the heavy flow of traffic. He said he pulled over when he could, but couldn't see the other car, and figured the damage was small. His own car was undamaged, he said.
 He blamed the accident on the icy road.

State Meeting Today
 To Decide Next Step
 ToAmend Legislation
Legal Advice Sought From National Organization; Ruling of Supreme Court Severe Blow to AdvO-
 Cates; UpsOn on Visit to New York for Advice

present laws, and the matter of ap- pealing the decision of the State Supreme Court, which recently de- clared the present state laws con- Stitutional to the Supreme Court of the United States will be generally discussed.
 Just what action will be taken this afternoon is probleinatical as many birth control advocates think that the matter is one for the Gen. eral Assembly to determine while others are strongly in favor of ap- pealing the case to the nations highest court.
 Many doctors and heads of health organizations throughout the state Ire expected to be present. It is their claim that if doctors cannot give advice to women on matters of pregnancy that the health of many women, who are in i'll health will be greatly in danger.
 Mrs. A. Morgan Pease, of Wes! Hartford; president of the Birth Control League, said Friday that directors of all of the eight clinics would be invited to attend the meet ing and participate in the discussion of what the organizations policy will be. She and Attorney J. Warren Upson of this city conferred in New York Thursday with Attorney Nor ris Ernst, who has been consultans for the national birth control or- ganiZation.
 Closing of the Hartford clinic created dismay among its patients. many of whom had not learned of the decision and went to the clinic on Retreat Avenue, Mrs. Pease said. Many other calls of protest have been received, she added.
