Insurance And Banking

Life insurance is one of the vital needs of American civilization. Its availability to persons in lower in- come groups should be matter of. concern. Thousands of our wage earners are expending too large portion of their income to secure this benefit, and many others in this group have no protection whatsoever. The sense of security which comes with adequate insur- ance should not be the exclusive privilege of those who can now af- ford it.
 Savings bank life insurance has proved to be means of provid- ing for this need. I therefore recommend that you consider the question of permitting our sav- ings banks to enter, voluntarily, upon plan whereby they may sell small life insurance policies.
 I recommend that you amend the banking laws to provide for semi-annual instead of annual bank examinations and that the banks themselves bear the added cost for such examination.

National Defense

The paramount task confront ing the Nation and the State is that of national defense. As in every period of national emergen- cy and crisis, Connecticut will CO., operate to the extent of it's wealth and power. To this end a state agency established by law should be created, empowered not only to cooperate with the federal gov- ernment but to exercise such functions as may be deemed de- Sirable within the State itself.

on state finances.


 The interior of the Capitol has been completely redecorated since the 1889 session of the assembly. There are new color schemes, new furniture and new rugs-but the same lobbyists were on hand, as usual, to size up the new corp of legislators. The fact that they are now obliged to register doesn't bother the pressure boys at all.
 The expectation was that both houses would agree to a weeks adjournment after today's session, meet once or perhaps twice next week, and then really swing into action the following week.

State Police

The present size of our state police force is not adequate. The state police personnel is being over worked. It is not an un- common experience for men on the force to work as much as six teen hours day. This cannot make for efficiency. I recommend, therefore, that we increase the statutory limitation with respect to the number of men in this force from 225 to PTS.

Social Welfare

lie office is the task of providing a measure of security to those who have been deprived of their full share of comfort and happiness. This responsibility is inherent in a democracy. It covers a broad field of social action. It must include the aged and the young, the widowed and orphaned. It involves the dependent and the unemployed. It involves the vic- tins of social and occupational diseases.
 I recommend that you adopt legislation with respect to Old Age Assistance that will abolish cer- tain exacting requirements of the present law. You should exempt from assignment to the State, on the part of applicants for Old Age Assistance, equities in their homes ranging up to $2,500 and their in- surance policies up to $500. Furth- ermore, you should establish a le- gal minimum for weekly assist ance which, together with any supplemental aid, will not be less than $700, and the present sta- tutory maximum should be in- creased to $40.00 per month. This will enable Connecticut to take full advantage of the contribution offered by the Federal Govern ment.
 We must expand our services to dependent and undernourished children. I urge you to adopt legislation enabling the State to receive the full benefit, under the Social Security Act, of federal funds available for this purpose. We should adopt such measures of prevention and care as will eliminate malnutrltion among our children; and, in this connection, I recommend that we undertake an extensive survey to determine the degree of under-nouriShment among the children of the State. The State should further be en- abled to provide through our schools, on as large a scale as possible, free milk to needy chil- dren. We should engage in arf extensive cooperation with the Federal Government to make sur- plus farm commodities available for school lunches.
 Wage earners of low income and their dependents who are the vic- tinrs of malignant diseases such as diabetes and cancer should certainly he given State assistance in fighting these dread diseases.
 I shall recommend to you in my budget message increases in the appropriations for public health and welfare.

AS Vital 10 Defense
Blondy Presents Award
To Du Pont Company for
Speed in Making Arms

The ranks of administration
spokesmen on national policy ap-
parently were expanded today to
include Rear Admiral w. H. P.
Blandy, chief of the Bureau of
Ordnance, who made a stinging
speech against Impractical pa
cifists" of the past in ceremony
at the Du Pont Co.'S plant at Car
neys Point. N. j.. this afternoon.
Speaking of the small but de-
termined group of men in high pub
lie places" who believed possession
of munitions would cause wars, Rear
Admiral Blandy said:
1T is true that If, even now, we
should continue to follow the teach
ings of such men, we will not have
war. 1t is equally true that we will
not have country-at least not the
country of free men and women that
We know today, the country our
forebears fought and died to estab-
lish and maintain"
The Bureau of Ordnance recently
included the du Pont Company IN a
list of IA firms to be given the Navy
ordnance flag and the Navy e" for
exceptional speed in production OF
ordnance. and it was in presentation
of these awards that Rear Admiral
Blandy addressed employees and
officials of the firm today. He said
the current race for defense arms is
not like a horse race or automobile
race where we may lose and forget
about it tomorrow.
Il am talking to you about race
In which the potential losses to all
of us are Of tremendous import"
he said. II refer to our defense race
against time, the loss of which |
neither we, nor our children, nor
their children, could ever forget"
Expansion of the European con-
flict has caused the American people |
to realize that the really effective |
weapons of defense are also the in
strumentalities for wars of aggres-
sion.
In the past, he said, the nation
had the feeling that war would never
come near if we didn't go near it,
and thereby placed too much faith |
in treaties and not enough in ships |
and planes, guns and powder and |
shell. bombs and torpedoes."

House Gets Measure
To RevampF. and
Study Radio Licenses
Sanders Bill Looks
To New Law Governing
Permits for Stations
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Representative Sanders, Democrat,
of Louisiana, introduced today bill
proposing reorganization of the Fed
eral Communications Commission
and an inquiry as to the desirability
of Congress enacting new legisla-
ton to govern licensing of radio sta
tlonS and networks.
Mr.. Sanders explained his bill was
in many respects similar to a reor-
ganization proposal offered in the
Senate by Senator White, Republican
of Maine, but stopped short of in
Guiding certain regulatory provisions.
Under the Louisianan's measure,
the question of whether Congress
should enact legislation regulating
radio contractual relations, network
licensing, the number of services by
networks and qualifications of IL
cenSeeS would be determined after
the inquiry.
Study Provided For.
Hiss bill would authorize the re-
organized commission to make the
study and report to Congress by jan
uary l. -
1t followed the White proposal in
providing for a commission of seven
members with a chairman and two
divisions of three members each, one
for public and one for private COM
munication facilities.
Similar changes in procedure be-
fore the commission and clearer
definitions of interests and rights of
licensees and applicants also were
proposed.
Mr.. Sanders said the whole ques-
ton of communications regulation
and radio legislation should be
looked into by Congress. He de-
clared hearings before the F. c. c.
on newspaper ownership of radio
stations had brought this out.
Newspaper-Owned Stations.
THE question of newspaper-owned
stations is very fundamental" he
said. 1T raises the question of
whether a man in one line of busi-
ness may go into another. The policy
involves more than newspapers. 1t
even involves the question of law
yers, ministers and others going into
the radio business.
Congress should re-examine the
whole subject matter and that is
why I am introducing this legisla-
ton.
My firm conviction is that Con-
gress itself should fix policy and the
commission administer the details"
Mr.. Sanders. a member of the
House Interstate Commerce Com
mittee, said he would press for con-
sideration of his measure as a step
to bring congressional attention to
communications.
