JLlC uIlIhVOIhUle COuuuALLCC AGpVAb pointed out that two cities, Water bury and Winsted seemed to have been picked out of the entire state for enforcement of the existing law which forbids the sale of many food commodities on Sunday. The Blans- field-Egan bill would permit such sales between 6 a. in. and p. m.
 Senator Blansfield said among other things that Waterbury and Winsted have been particularly un- fortunate in the enforcement of the law against Sunday sales. Other cities have refused to prosecute be- cause of the good sense of their prosecuting officials. Waterbury and Winsted have prosecutors who 20 out of their way to enforce an out mded law. The statute limiting Sun. day sales should be wiped of the books"
 He also said that the Judiciary committee was entirely too strait laced" in its attitude and attempt to keep Sunday away from the com- mon people. He pointed out that many times 1t Is absolute necesisty for families to make food purchases on Sunday.
 An editorial in The Waterbury Democrat in support of the change was cited by Senator Blansfield, re- ferring to the paper as "a good sterling Democratic paper"
 The committees report was read by Senator Albert Coles of Bridge port, Senate majority leader, who accepted the rebuke accorded "by the Senator from the 18th"
 Senator Egan, also spoke in sup. port of the bill and against the committees adverse report, stating that Tt Is quite obvious that the committee is not familiar with the situation otherwise its members would have acted differently"
 He urged that 1t be recommitted for further study.
 On a voice vote the presiding officer, Senator Joseph B. Downes, president pro-tem of the Senate, could not decide the issue, 50 called for rising vote which was sub- stantially in favor of the recommit- ment of the bill.
 Senator Blansfield was not as suc- cessful in his efforts to upset the re- port of the Finance Committee, of which he is chairman, because the Senate today accepted the unfavor- able report on the proposed $3,000,- 900 park and forest bond bill.
 Senator Blansheld has q strenu- ously opposed such report since he is very much In sympathy with ex- tended financial aid for the parks and forests. He spoke on the floor of the senate this afternoon, to- fgethery with Senator Walter Barrett of Bridgeport and Senator Alfred Bingham of Salem for the bill and against the report.
 The Senate, however, voted to acc cept the report.

 Dun & Bradstreet Report
 Boston, March 6.-(UP) Short age of skilled workers and raw ma terials slowed deliveries in a num- Der of New England industries in the past week, but production sched- ules generally were maintained at high rates, Dun & Bradstreet, Inc, said today.
 Aircraft. metal, machine, and arms plants in general operated at capacity but made little impression on the large backlogs," the auth ority declared. ....
 ''Production in consumers goods Nnes was maintained ct @ very good rate, reflecting the substantial defense contracts and improved re- tail sales. Woolen mills worked at capacity; cotton goods textiles stepped up operations, although still below the 1887 peak. Shoe output held steady, running about 3 per cent ahead of 1940, as the industry concentrated on delivering for Eas- ter promotions"
 Retail trade was estimated 6 to 10 per cent ahead of last year, and merchants were reported buying more freely at the Boston furni- lure show, with purchases up to 10 to 20 per cent from a year ago.
