TOWN OF CROTON
 IS FACING SUIT
State Board of Education May Take Action for
 Barring Children

Hartford, Conn, Sept. 6-(UP)- The State Board of Education was prepared today to take action against the town of 0roton if it insisted upon barring 75 children of navy personnel from attending school because the federal govern ment failed to make an appropria- ton for enlarging the towns school facilities.
 The school term opens Monday. Schools Superintendent S. B. Butt Ter said he had wired Washington asking for q $5e2,0OO grant but had received no reply. Butler estimat- cd that by December there would be more than 500 children of navy and defense families in Groton, and that the accommodations of the schools would be taxed beyond capacity.
 State Education Board Director of Supervision ". Searle Light said the law required any town to fur- nish educational benefits, regardless of It's financial condition and that Groton was no exception. Parents of children refused admittance to classes. he said, could appeal to the state board for hearing to conl- pei the town to afford them es:u- cationaI advantages.
 Light said 1t was within the aIth- orlty of the, state board to with- hold the states grant to any town that failed to recognize this legal provision. The benefit of an educa- ton, he said, was "every child'e right" regardless of whether his parents were taxpayers or Eewcom- CTS to the community.

Senate Passes Big Tax Bill Of $3,583, 900, ,OOO
Differs From House Measure Only on Individual Tax Exemptions in Lower Brackets: May Be COnl-
 promise During Next Week
RY JOHN R. ZEAL

United Press Staff CorreSpondent)
 Washington, Sept. 6-(UP) - House ways and means committee members said today that they eX. pect informal conferences seeking to compromise differences between Senate and House versions of the $3,5sS, ,9o0,00O tax bill to start nxt week.
 The senate passed the record- breaking revenue measure yester- day 67 to 5, after three days of de- bate. Biggest variation between the senate bill and the house bill Is 8 senate provisino reducing individual income tax exemptions from $2000 to $l,5o0 for married couples and from $500 to $750 for single persons.
 No formal conference action can start until the house-meeting every three days under mo business" agreement-ends its vacation Sept. IS. But ways and means committee men plan to meet with senate con- ferees and try to work out ten- tative agreement which could be ratified when official house con- ferees are named.
 The senate, on motion of Demo- cratic leader Alben w. Barkley of Kentucky, started series of three day recesses when it passed the tax bill yesterday. There was not the strict rule against conducting bus iness which si in effect in the house, however, and the senate can ap- prove a confernece report any time one is ready.
 Low Income Families
 The reduced income tax exemp- tions would draw millions of low income families into the federal tax structure for the first time and would increase the taxes of all thsoe who now pay. The provisions yield was estimated at $3O3,000,0OO ari- nually.
 Chairman Robert L. Doughton, D., N. C., of the ways and means com- mittee, was not in town, but Rep. Roy O. Woodruff, R., Mich, a high-ranking committeeman, pre- dicted the house conferees would fight the reduction.
 T am opposed to the lower ex- emptions because right now the poor man pays at least 27 cents in concealed taxes on every si pur-

BUILDING BOOM
 CONTINUES PACE
Has Already Passed Be- yOnd Record Made Dur-
 ing All of Last Year
--NEA Telephoto

Building construction for the first eight months of this year, advancing by leaps and bounds, has overtaken and surpassed the figure recorded for all of last year.
 The office of Building Inspector John T. Hartley announces that the cost of both residential and non- residential construction from Janu- ary through August, 1941, totaled $l, ,907, ,620. For the l040 twelve month period the cost was $1,946,- 265. At the present accelerating rate, 1t Is reasonable to expect that this years final total will exceed that of l940 by approximately 50 per cent.
 Partially responsible for this tre- mendous surge are the federal hous- ing projects now under construction here, but, chiefly, the advance may be attributed to the swelling num- Der of one-family homes being built. Generally improved economic condi- tions have given rise to the trend in the latter direction.
 August Falls Of
 August construction fell of appre- ciably from the high figures noted in July, the monthly report of the building office reveals. A total amount of $186, ,1a5 was expended in all types of building, compared to $202, ITO for July.
 The comparison between the two months reflects nothing more serious than 8 seasonal drop, recurrent reg ularly at this time of year, but in some quarters 1t was felt that par- tially to blame may have been the shortage of Gypsum plasterboard, occasioned by the o. I. O.-inspired strike in the U. s. Gypsuym Corp.
 Residential construction permits for August were issued to 69: 8 for new buildings. 5 for additions and alterations for extra families, and 3l for additions and alterations to dwellings. Tn July, n were issued in this categoryl. The approximate cost of erecting. altering and adding to homes in August was $l45, ,655, and in July, $l68.755.
 Non- Residential Building
 Permits for constructing new non- residential structures totaled 2e last month. The cost in this deparment was sae.5S0. Broken down, the flg- ures show that two factory addi- tions were built at an estimated

City Republicans Are Meeting For Powwow
Gather This Afternoon at COe Farm to Do Some Talk ing; May Decide on MayOralty Head; Protest
 Group Has Been Invited

Makeup of Q ticket in the city election this fall will be the prin- cipal business as Republicans gath CT this afternoon at the Coe farm on Country Club road for an out ing and meeting. Attending will be town committee officers and members, district leaders, state cen- tral committeeman and heads of intra-party groups.
 Much depends on the outcome of the gathering. One candidate to be proposed for mayor will be AL derman Burton H. walker, who has thus far withheld any statement of his intentions but whose friends say would accept the nomination. Oth- CTS being considered are Deputy Registrar John M. Burial, Alder man George L. Kingston, ex-Clerk William Gillette of the court oi common pleas, Commissioner John J. Kearney, and several more.
 Protestants Welcome
 Protest" group leaders have been informed discreetly that their presence this afternoon would not be unwelcome, but whether they attend or not they appear deter mined to oppose the organization in a primary. The protest" move m ent, whi oh has been rap- idly spreading, will support ex- Mayor Patrick M. Perriello for the nomination and will seek a re- organization of the town commit tee.
 This years insurgent movement is the greatest threat against his leadership yet faced by Town Chairman Vernon L. Hall, who ad- vanced from the post of town com mittee secretary last year following the resignation of J. Warren Up son. The antl-organizatio ationites claim that the party organization is still directed by tae combination of MT Upson, Registrar Albert o. Fallel and Publisher William J. Pape.
 Tn the primary fight the insurg- cnts will seek to unseat Registrar Taller, with the probability thai their candidate will be Harold K Hadley, former president of the Young Mems Republican club. The registrar, with his control over the primary lists, is key figure in the c. Q. P. picture.

GERMAN FIRING
 SQUAD EXECUTES
Three More Frenchmen Stood Up Against Wall
 in Paris

Vichy, Sept. 6-UP)--A German firing squad executed three French hostages in Paris today in reprisal for the woundirg of a German non- commissioned officer on 8 Paris street Wednesday.
 A proclamation issued by the German military command in Paris read:
 "On Aug. p, following the assas- sination of a member of the German Iskfuj warned that hostages would be shot if there were any new attacks. Despite the warning, a member of the German army again was attacked Sept. 3. An inquiry shows that the attacker could only have been a French Communist. In reprisal for the cowardly action, three French hostages were shot Sept. 6.
 lSigned) "Schaumburg."
 The three victims presumably were chosen from the thousands of Jews, suspected Communists, saboteurs and agitators arrested in recent weeks, in the Paris area. The Germans had announced that prisoners would be shot in numbers corresponding to the gravity of crime against the Germans.
 Cabinet members met at Vichy at il a. m. 6 a. m. EDT) with Mar shal Philippe Petain presiding, and examined the whole question Of repressing terrorism. Another meet- ing was scheduled for this evening and 1t was learned that Interior Minister Pierre Pucheu would leave for Paris as soon as the meeting ends,

Beacon Falls, Sept. 6 - This town which was partially cut of from the outside world for some time yes- terday afternoon and last night as the result of a landslide which blocked the Naugatuck- Beacon Falls road, route 8, at a point opposite High Rock, and which ripped down telephone wires, was again normal today.
 Traffic was permitted to go through at about 0:l5 last night after having been re-routed over route 63, the New Haven road, since S:30 p. m. yesterday.
 There is probability that an- other landslide may occur next Tuesday, according to Pasquale Por- olo, dynamiting foreman for the work, He has started drilling holes for widening the proposed road just south of where the blast oc- cured yesterday and he said if the rock above the roadway is of the same grain as that blasted yesterday another landslide might occur, al- though every precaution to prevent this is being and will be taken.
 A total of 75O pounds of 40 per- cent gelatin dynamite was used in yesterdays blast.
 Removal Was Quick
 The work of removing the tons of rock which fell across the high way after a charge of 750 pounds of dynamite set of in the old troll ley right of way east of the road had caused a landslide, was re- markable to those who witnessed the tremendous pile of boulderi which covered the road after the landslide
