NIGHT SESSION OF ASSEMBLY COMING Judiciary Committee Is Trying To Speed Up
 Legislature

Hartford, Conn.,, March 12-(UP) Moving to speed up the tagging business of the general assembly, the judiciary committee agreed ten- tatively today to hold at least one night session next week to report out some of the hundreds of meas- ures in its portfolio.
 With nearly half the legislative session completed, the number of measures passed can be counted on the fingers of one hand. The judic- iary committees action regarding night sessions was taken to avoid a crush of business during final days of the term.
 The senate appropriations com- mittee was expected this week to approve an appropriation to insti- ute system of savings bank life insurance. The senate finance com- mittee already has approved the measure, but house committees have taken no action.
 The judiciary committee, mean time, held major hearing on more than 90 measures proposing chang es in the states liquor control laws. Control board chairman E. Gaynor Brennan appeared in favor of 8 bill granting the commission great CT discretion on whether to grant permits. Heavy oppoistion was heard, with the chief argument being that politics might influence the board.
 John J. Egan, secretary of the Connecticut Federation of Labor, warned prohibition might return If the committee eased liquor regula- tions.
 Strong opposition from Public Utilities was heard at finance com- mittee hearing on a state tax de- partment measure proposing a one per cent rise in taxes paid by water, Gas, electric and power companies. Commissioner Charles J. McLaugh- lin said the state tax on towns would be abolished if the utility tax meas- ure was approved.

NEW DEALERS LOST

Hartford, Conn.,, March 12.-(UP) New Deal Democrats lost their fight in the Hcvse today to move the traditional New England ob- servance of Thanksgiving day ahead by one week, in keeping with presi- dential proclamation.
 Republicans, turning down a plea of Rep. Dorothy Bartlett, D., Put man, to 'try 1t while you might like it," overwhelmingly approved a bill retaining observance of the last Thursday in November.
 Democratic Leader T. Emmet Clarie, Killingly, charged the Re- publican opposition was trying to "take away from the governor his discretionary authority" in desig- hating the date of the holiday.
 He claimed they were actually passing this measure, not to retain the true tradition of Thanksgiving, but to retain 8 tradition which in many instances has degenerated into feasting and attendance at football games. They have forgot ten what Thanksgiving really means"
 Rep. Gerald Marsh, R., New Mill ford, defended the last Thursday observance as 8 Connecticut in- stitution" in that this state was the first to vote annual observance of the holiday.

 wegian Interests

Recapitalization of the water- bury Clock company which would eliminate arrearages on the pre- ferred stock amounting to about $220,OOo and providing for the placement of approximately 3600,- GOO additional capital into the com pany, was overwhelmingly approved by stockholders at meeting yester- day. The plan was approved 07.7 per cent of the stockholders at the special barley held in the company's offices.
 E. T. Carmody, lawyer for the company, explained that 1t will be two or three weeks befoer details of the plan are completed and the net setup put in operation. The overwhelming vote of stockholders Tuesday favoring the plan, he said, has set machinery into motion out of which the hecapitalization is ex- pected to appear.
 The plan calls for present holders of the 10000 shares of $25 par com. mon stock and of the 10000 shares of $25 par preferred stock to re- ceive one share of new issues of no- par common and preferred, respec- lively, for each share held of the present securities. In addition, the preferred stockholders will relin- quish certain voting rights and their claim on arrearages of dividends amounting to some $220,000.
 New money amounting to approxi- mately $500,000 will be invested by various persons, chiefly Thomas Ol- sen, a representative of a Norwegian trust in this country making in- vestments, in further shares of the new no-par common stock. These purchases will bring total shares of the new common stock to 133,334 MT. Carmody said.

agreed on the new setup. Com menting on the results, this dealer stated 1t was his frank opinion that the action ought to be in- vestigated in the public, interests.
 "The major oil companies", he added, "took a terrific beat ing in the fuel and range oil mar ket this past season, when the bottom simply dropped out from under them."
 The mark up at present is about 3 cents per gallon, represent ing the retailers profit. Because of the new price, dealers are forced to jack up the price to protect their legitimate margin of profit, otherwise they would be trying to operate on a very slender 9-10 of . cent profit.
