SEEKING AID FOR
 HOUSING PROJECT
Civic, Religious Groups Urged to Support Move-
 nlent; } Jobs Coming

The housing subcommittee of the Inter -Racia, committee plans to seek the aid of religious and civic organizations in a drive to secure a Federal Housing Administration project for Waterbury. Mayor Vim cent A. Scully will be asked to fill three vacancies on the Waterbury Housing Authority and a survey of local housing conditions will be made for submission to the board of aldermen.
 The FILA project sought by the group is not to be confused with the defense housing project which the government plans for Water bury. The FILA progr; n would make available homes for low-income workers. The defense housing pro ject will care only for the needs of persons engaged on defense work.
 Rev. M. Webb Wright, pastor of the South Federated church, and a member of the subcommittee, plans an early conference with the mayor on local housing problems.
 A proposed FILA project for Wa terbury was rejected by the board of aldermen two years ago after the government had allocated $1 ,00O, 900 for use in housing construction in this city.

HORACE ELLIS
 CALLED CRUEL
Wife, Helen of TOrringtOn, Wins Divorce; No Deci-
 sion in Johnson Case

Litchfield, Feb. 20-Judge Frank P. McEvoy Wednesday granted two divorce decrees in uncontested cases heard last week in Superior Court. Helen Ellis of Torrington was granted divorce from Horace Ellis of Winsted. She charged cruelty and labitual iintemperance. Gather inc c. Brown of Winsted was also granted divorce from George D. Brown, Jr., of Winsted and was warded the custody of their two minor children. She charged de- sertion.
 Judge McEvoy reserved decision in the contested divorce action of Angela F. Guarda of Torrington against Felice Guarda, also of Tor rington. The plaintiff alleged intol- erable cruelty and habitual intemp- erance, and sought authority to re- sume her maiden name. They were married in 1920 in Italy and separ- ated in 1939.
 Decision was also reserved in the divorce case of Margaret E. K. Johnson of Thomaston, against Clarence A. Johnson, in which intol- erable cruelty is alleged. The plain tiff also seeks custody of a minor child and support.

Washington, D. C., Feb. 20-Fatal accidents are more numerous Ill the home than any other field of major hazard at this season of the year, exceeding even the traffic packed streets, humming machine shops or industry. and crowded floors ot busy public places, according to the Ma tional Conservation Bureau, accl- dent prevention division of the AS sociation of Casualty and Surety Executives.
 The reason for this condition, completely contradicting common belief, say the safety specialists, Is that every agency of education, leg islation and engineering has been employed vigorously to reduce the causes of accidents in traffic, indus try and public places, while such agencies thus far have been able to do little to bring similar improve rnent in the American home.
 Beginning with January. the latest complete accident figures show, the number of deaths due to accidents in the home rises sharply above the motor car and stays there until to- ward the end of May. But it is not until mid-May that the motor car overtakes the home fatality record and thereafte- resr'-"s its place as the No. killer. Throughout the year, however. Iatal accidents in the home are now more numerous than in occupations or public places.
 Six Principal Causes
 Mrs. America, the real foreman of the average home can do much to change this uncomfortable picture, v declare the men and women who spend their lives studying the causes of accidents and their remedies.
 In order of frequency, the princ1- pal causes of accidental deaths in homes are; falls, burns, poisoning, firearms, suffocat:on from general causes and asphyxiation from pois- onous gas. A periodic check-up of the home environment, it is said, would detect most of these causes in time and thereby prevent many fa- talities. So the safety specialists ad-

BIRTH CONTROL
 HEARING SLATED
Bitter Fight Looms in Gen. eraI Assembly Over Pro-
 posed Legislation

By Democrat Legislative RepOrter) State Capitol, Hartford, February %. = A hearing on proposed birth control legislation will not be held until mid-April, it was started to- day by Senator Edward P. Egan, chairman of the Senate committee on public health and safety. The large number of bills before the committee made it impossible to schedule the hearing on the con- troversial measure before that time, the Waterbury legislator said.
 The fight for passage of legisla- ton legalizing artificial birth con- trol in the state is expected to be more bitter than ever this year, with
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-02-20

the battle for passage being led by the Connecticut Committee to Make Birth Control Legal, an organiza- ton formed during the past year.
 Formation of the state commit tee to legalize contraception was ef- fected after the supreme court ot errors upheld the validity of an old statute forbidding dissemination of birth control information. The courts ruling came on an appeal from the conviction of two Water bury doctors and nurse who served at a birth control clinic.
 The hearing on birth control bills promises to be one of the most stormy of the entire legislative session,

wise that instead of a general check up Spring and Fall, during the usual housekeeping seasons, an inspection be made each month.
 In the meantime, here are some simple precautions which are highly recommended to help minimize home accidents:
 Loose rugs on highly polished floors, particularly at the head of steps, are frequent causes or fatal falls. Such rugs may be made skid-prof by the use of proper mats under them, adhesive pre- parations, or merely by sewing or dinary fruit-jar rings to the un- derside.

 posed by Commissioner Ray L. Harding as an inspector. The ad- visory personnel committee forced Harding, a Republican, to put Foley back on the payroll.
 Now Foley Is being mentioned for appointment as domestic ani- mals commissioner to replace Harding-if the agricultural con- solidation does not go through. And there are some reports from the House which say that the con- solidation proposal will not pass.

Discussions about the motor ve- hicles commissioners appointment have now completed cycle. When Governor Hurley first was elected party m e m bers unhesitatingly said Connor wouldw go. A few weeks later, hesitations developed as certain high-ranking leaders began working for Connor's reten- tion.
 Within tfe past week or so, it was said that Commissioner Con- nor was indirectly tipped that his job was secure.
 Responsible sources said 1t would not be good politics for Governor Hurley to lop of Cononr, who has performed a good job and has many friends. Those who sought to dispose of Connor felt he was not "a Hurley man" and that the governor would strengthen his or- ganization by giving the appoint ment to one of his stronger sup- porters.

the National Social Security Board and labor organizations generally that all employees otherwise eligible under the law be entitled to uni form duration of benefits of sixteen weeks. Under the present law, many workers, particularly the Alaskan employees, are entitled, because of their low earnings, to only a few weeks of unemployment insurance We have seen plenty, indeed toe much, of the tendency of outside corporations operating in Alaska to see to it that the Alaskans are the last hired and the first fired. It would have been fine protection to these Alaskan workers if, as was suggested by the National Social Security Board, uniform duration of sixteen weeks of benefits had been inserted into the present law, but here again our present Commission failed to make such recommends tion and such desirable modification in behalf of the worker.
 Broader Coverage
 Fourth, it is recognized and has been recommended by the Social Security Board and is being increas- ingly adopted throughout the Union that the coverage under the Unem- ployment Compensation Law be low cred so as to apply to all employers regardless of the number of persons employed. Certainly the present practice of denying unemployment compensation to workers in an es- tablishment where five, six or seven are at work seems to me obviously unjust and unwarranted. Yet the Commission failed to include such a provision in it's recommendations tc the Legislature for amendment o1 the act. Had such provision been recommended it is probable that House Bill No. 2 especially designed to liberalize this provision would not have gone down to defeat.
 Tt might be pointed out that al- though four years ago the Act passed by the Extraordinary Session of the Thirteenth Legislature. Chapter 4, Section II, e, made mandatory the appointment by the Commission of the advisory council, previously re-
The Daily Alaska empire., 1941-03-27

is that the ultimate responsibility is theirs. It is so defective that en- ployee representatives were omitted from the Territorial Advisory Coun- cil which in Section 28 of the Blll, the Commission is ordered to ap- point. The employers and the pub lie are given equal representation on this Council but not the em- ployees. How outrageous this onils- sion is can be gauged from the fact that the original Social Security Leg islation passed by the Thirteenth Territorial Legi a ture provided equal representation on the Territcr- al Council, for employers, employees and the public Now in this present bill the employee representatives are excluded!
 What are some of the benefits which the National Social Security Board and Labor unitedly recom- mended and which were NOT ir- cluded in the Alaska Unemployment Compensation Commissions bill?
 Not in Bill
 First. that the maximum weekly benefit amount payable be increased from $16 to 20 week. Surely if in the states of California, Wyoming, Idaho, SIS a week is the maximum benefit, then in Alaska where the cost of living varies from 20 to 30 percent higher than in those states. $l6 a week is not adequate. Yet, as stated, no such recommendation was made by our Commission and no such amendment was written into the bill.
 Second, the National Social Se- curity Board and the national labor organizations generally recommend that the Alaska law be amended so that the unemployed worker would be required to put in only one week of waiting period thus permitting an employee to begin to collect the benefits one week sooner than is specified under the present law. But no recommendation was made by our present Unemployment Compen- sation Commission and no such modification was introduced into the bill passed by the Legislature.
 Third, it was recommended by
