RECOGNITION FOR
 DANIEL MAHANEY
Veteran Legislator Placed on Committee to As-
 sign Seats
(By Democrat Staff Reporter)

State Capitol, Hartford, Jan. = Rep. Daniel J. Mahaney, six-term veteran from Waterbury, is the only Democrat on the committee chosen by the House to assign seats to members. He is already being be- sieged with requests for choice places, with virtually every member wanting a seat down front, on the aisle.
 On the committee with Rep. Mahaney are Reps. Thornhill of Brookfield, Christensen of Windsor, Barlow of Stonington and Hutch- ings of Harwinton. Rep. Mahaney served on the same committee two years ago. When permanent com- mitteeS are named next week, he is expected to be returned to the important appropriations commit tee.
 Senator Michael V. Blansfield of Waterbury served yesterday as chairman of the senate committee to canvass the election vote. The committee was to meet jointly with a house committee, but with each house having seperate rules, no con- ference was held until after the el. ected state officials were sworn in. There was some confusion for time as to whether the oaths had been administered legally, but the joint committee finally met and certified that the officers sworn in had been duly elected last Novem- Der.
 At Democratic caucus, MT. Blansfield was chosen chairman of the party's own committee on rules The committee recommended crea- ton of several new senate commit tees and the consolidation of some ohter committees.
 Senator Blansfield is considered to have a. good chance to go on the imp o tant judiciary committee; while Senator Edward P. Egan will probably go on the cities and bor- oughs coimmittee. The latter will consider, among many other mat ters proposed, changes in the Waterbury city charter. Senator Egan is also expected to go on the finance committee which considers bond issue requests, but may go on the appropriations committee in- stead.

NINE.YEAR BIRTH
 RECORD BROKEN
194O Group of American Babies to Be Greatest
 Since l93l

The 1940 crop of American bab- les bids fair to break a nine-year retc,Td, for all signs now indicate that last year the birth rate was greater than in any years since 1881, according to the statisticianS of the Metropolitan Life Insurance company.
 While the figures indicate that 103 babies were born in 1940 for evegy 100 born in 1889, they also tend to show that the proportion of deaths in the general population increased slightly, but not at a rate high enough to offset the improve ment in the birth rate.
 The increase in births in 1940 as compared with 1889 was not confin- ed to any particular section of the country. The largest proportional increase occurred in the Pacific states and the smallest in the west north central states and most of New England.
 The statisticians point out, how ever, that the rise in the birth rate, while important, is not large enough to influence materially the ultimate rate of natural increase, which is very close to the equilibrium level, that is, to the point where the bal ance between fertility and mortal ity is just adequate to insure con- tinued perpetuation of the Ameri- can people.
 'The explanation of this is that the present excess of the birSh rate over the death rate results from a temporarily high proportion of wo- men in the childbearing ages. Ac- tually, we are barely holding our own, as is seen when computations are carried out making allowance for this temporarily high proportion of persons in the reproductive ages of life"

State Capitol, Hartford, Jan. 2 The hall of the House was so crowded that many dignitaries had to stand during Gov. Hur- ley,s inaugural address. One of those without a seat was Con- gressman J. Joseph Smith, of Waterbury, a colonel on the gov- ernor'S military staff.
 The glaring floOdlights placed alongside the dias for the bene- fit of newsreei cameramen made it uncOmfortably hot for MT. Hurley and the others on the platform. The governor perspired freely while delivering his mes- sage.
 We've been down before but we always come back" said Bridgeport,S Mayor Jasper Mc- Levy when reporters "kidded" him about the fact that no So- cialists were elected to the pres ent General Assembly. Jasper wis., ited the press room to say hello to political correspondents from ali parts of the state.
 Attorney James M. Lynch, who retired as compensation commis- sioner at Waterbury last week, said that Gov. Hurley's message to the Assembly was "masterly" speech.
 Many of the large Waterbury delegation on hand for the open ing day ceremonies were guess of Public Works c m issioner George L. Burke at a buffet sup per at the Bond following ad- journment of the assembly. Gov. Hurley appointed MT. Burke to the post, which he himself had held for four years, in one of his first official acts as governor.
 Mrs. Serge A. Belanger, wife of Waterbury's city treasurer, sprained her ankle shortly after arriving in Hartford. She did not let the injury keep her from at- tending the inaugural ball last night. During the brilliant social function MT. and Mrs. Belanger sat in the governors box.
 Ex-Rep. Hugo Guastaferri, who served in the house two years ago, plans to visit the Capitol frequently during the 194l ses- sion, he said yesterday. His suc- cessor, Rep. John A. Membrino, received flowers and many con- gratulatory messages during the day.
 Former Senator George T. Cul- hane was greeted by many friends as he strolled through the Capitol lobby. He and Mrs. Culhane at- tended the ball last night along with Attorney and Mrs. William K. Lawlor.
 Senator Edward P. Egan is again one of two EganS in the upper house. As in 1889, one of the New Haven senators is Will liam L. Egan, also a Democrat. The similarity of names caused

that in some cases individual hear ings will have to be held on pro- posed legislation.
 One of Governor Hurley's first acts was to resign as public works com- missioner and appoint as his suc- cesSor George l.. Burke of West Hartford, who has been his deputy. The appointment carries a salary of 5000 a year.
 Of the many important specific recommendation made by Governor Hurley in his message yesterday, none may cause any greater dispute than his proposal that states attor- neys be barred from politics and the private practice of law. One of those affected by passage of such meas ure would be Hugh M. Alcorn, Jr., speaker of the Republican domi- mated House, who is assistant states attorney for Hartford county.
 Democrats Pleased
 Democratic legislators praised MT. Hur1ey's address highly, but Repub- licans for the most part withheld comment. Much of the program ad- vocated by the governor should win Republican approval, judging from the G. o. P.'s swing from traditional conservatism as reflected by pro- posals announced by Carl Lund- gren, the party's legislative chair man. But despite the pronounce ments of Liberal" Republicanism by State Chairman J. Keneth Brad ley, old-line Republicans in the House may balk as such measures as a state labor relations act extend- ing compensation benefits and strict CT regulation of public utilities.
 The inauguration ceremonies yes- terday were the most spectacular in Connecticut's history. A day of pageantry was ended with the col- orful inaugural ball at the state armory here last night.
 Miss C0nnors Slated

Tips Given on Picking
And Cooking Good Corn

The early American settlers would
never have survived If the Indians
had not shown them how to cult
vate corn. But most Of us con-
slider the type of corn which kept
them from starvation as food fit
only for animals.
At the present time we demand
corn which has been carefully cul-
tivated for tenderness and sweetness
for our roasting ears, and for pre-
pairing all types Of corn dishes.
The rule Of putting the kettle on
to boil, then going out to pick the
corn is good one to follow. If you
can do it, for the longer the time
that elapses between picking and
eating, the less delicious the corn.
After you've picked out your green
ears, strip back the husk and ex-
anime the kernels. They should be
just firm enough to resist slight
pressure and when you prick them
should exude milky juice.
AhC hdoh VII Tic COIu dCIS ike the
cellulose film used for modern pack
aging--seals in flavor and moisture
and keeps out dust-so don't husk
the corn until you're ready to pop
it into the kettle.
We usually speak Of boiled" corn
on the cob, but it's really best to
just simmer it. because boiling may
make the kernels tough. Put enough
water In the kettle to cover the
corn, bring it to the boiling point
and drop in the ears.
The addition Of cup of milk
and two teaspoons Of sugar i'm
proves the flavor. Keep the water
at simmering temperature for 10
to Is minutes. The shorter time
is used for garden fresh corn, the
longer for that you buy in the
market.
