Cooperation of representa- tive from the smaller towns with the programs for the cities was assured by MT. Bradley in his letter. This would be an important political de- parture, for small town legislators have cuStomarily been unwilling to support legislation aimed at help ing the bigger cities. The Republi- cans will control the 1941 house, 184 to 88, while the Democrats will control the senate, 9 to 13.
 Early Conference
 Town Chairman Hall plans early consultation with other local Repub- lican leaders on the drafting of leg islation affecting Waterbury. It is believed that number of charter amendments will be proposed by the local G. O. P.
 The legislation affecting larger cities will be given careful consider ation by the House membership, the state chairman indicated in his let ter. Such legislation will be studied by a party legislative committee headed by Carl Lundgren, Ansonia attorney, who was appointed to that post last week by MT. Bradley.
 In announcing that the state par ty organization is making a special request for early suggestions of bills affecting the larger cities, MT. Bradley stated:
 During the past few weeks I have taken occasion to meet and discuss legislative matters with rep resentativeS and party leaders of every county in the state. The rep

WIDOW OF MURDER
 VICTIM CRITICAL


 No appreciable change has been noted in the condition of Mrs. Susan Beall, widow of John Beall, Cheshire reformatory kitchen overseer, who was murdered on Oct. 29.
 Her condition was reported at St. Mary's Hospital as ''very weak" this morning. Mrs. Beall suffered critical injuries about the head when the assailant who killed her husband assaulted her with a hammer. The injuries necessitated an operation which was performed by Dr. Edward H. Kirschbaum, attending physician Dr. Kerschbaum holds little hope for her recovery.
 The alleged assailant, John Sait- kowski. former reformatory inmate is held without bail at the New Haven county jail awaiting trial for the staying of MT. Beall. He will be arraigned before the January term of the superior court.

NINE INSURANCE
 CO.'S BENEFITED
Three in Conn. Obtained
 Several Thousands in 1888 Farm Program

Washington, Dc. 30 = (UP0 - Nine insurance companies received government benefits of more than $100,000 each for participating in 1898 farm programs, the Agricultur- al Department revealed today.
 Chief beneficiary was the Metro politan Life Insurance Company of New York, which got $346,773. There were 13 payments totaling more than $100,0o0, including those which went to two federal land banks and two state agencies.
 These statistics were revealed in a report by Secretary of Agriculture Claude R. Wickard on all payments of 5000 or more uI1der the 1888 soil conservation and domestic al- lotments programs. Those whose assets totalled $1,O00 or more num- bered 16,509, but, Wickard reported, represented only three-tenths of one per cent of the 5,248,7J6 who re- ceived government farm benefit checks. The overall total on pay ments in excess of $1 ,000 was $38,- 685.53.
 The highest paid included:
 Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, New York, $346,773; Equitable Life Insurance Society o1 the United States, New York, $305,- 491; John Hancock Mutual Life h. surance Company, Boston, $263, 1922; Prudential Life Insurance Company of America, Newark, N.

 That is the sort of service we of the Republican organization hope to render during the coming session. The large Republican majority in the next House was elected on a broad, constructive platform adop- ted by the party last fall, and we propose to submit legislation em- bodying the principles of that plat form. Attorney Carl Lundgren of Ansonia, will be the chairman of a committee which will see that such legislation is drafted in proper form, and his committee has been set up to give counsel and aid to legislators in the presentation of bills."

FOR
 MEN IN SERVICE
State Motor Vehicle De- partment Rules on Out=
 Of=State Drivers

Out-of-state drivers in any branch of the United States Serv. ice who are stationed in Connecti- cut will not have to register theii passenger automobiles in this state if they are properly registered in the state from which the owner comes the Motor Vehicles department an- nounced today.
 If such drivers are licensed to drive a car in the state from which they come, they will not have to take out another license in Con- necticut if the license is not under suspension. When such licenses or registrations expire, they can be re- newed either in the home state or in Connecticut
 Included under this ruling are "all members of the National Guard, enlisted Reserve Corps, Naval Re- serve, Marine Corps Reserve, those persons inducted into the army by the Selective Training and Service Act approved September 16, 194O, and the families of such military and naval personnel"
 This procedure is being urged in every state by the American Associ- ation of Motor Vehicle Administra- tors. Most states not prevented by statute from taking such action have made similar rulings, some o1 them, however, limiting the length of time driver may continue tc drive with an out-of-state license or registration.
 In a number of states the proceed. ure is merely reciprocal. That is driver in the United States Serv- ice from Connecticut would be al. lowed ot drive with Connection license and registration because thi: state allows that privilege to such drivers from otLer states.
