Grand Jury Probe
 Held Too Costly By Legislators
(By Democrat Legislative Reporter)

(By Democrat Legislative Reporter)
 State Capitol, Hartford, May IT, Investigations such as that made by the special Waterbury grand jury could be carried on much more cheaply and quickly" by @ single judge of the superior court, Rep. Harold Mitchell of West Hartford, an assistant to Special Prosecutor Hugh M. Alcorn in the Waterbury probe, told the House of Represen- tatives yesterday.
 Representative Mitchell spoke in support of a bill which would allow such investigations to be made by a judge or a state referee rather than by an 18-man grand jury. The bill, favorably reported by the judiciary committee, was unopposedl on the floor and now goes to the Senate for approval there.
 A single investigator would be able to probe more efficiently into such situations as that investigated by the grand jury at Waterbury several years ago, Representative Mitchell said, adding that the flnd- iilgs of the judge or state referee would then ''be available to the pub- lic." ... .-=

BUS TERMINAL
 SITE SELECTED
Travel Agency Reported Ready to Erect Quarters
 Near Elton Hotel

Reliable sources today confirmed the report that the Hotel Elton property on West Main street, ly- ing between the hotel property and the Waldorf Lunch, would shortly be utilized by the Sherman Griner travel agency for its offices, as well as for 8 terminal for several bus lines.
 A one-story structure is planned for the location, according to these reports. The area has been used of recent years by the hotel as a gar- den cafe.
 Griner's agency was one of two tenants of the Hodson block in Ex- change Place which recently were forced to vacate because of plans for utilizing the space for other purposes. The other was Nick's News, run by Nick, Rocco and Mary Villano
 The Democrat also heard today that an effort was made to have Nick's News take one section of the proposed new bus terminal struc- ture, but no verification of accep- tance or rejection of the offer was available.
 Negotiations between Clyde Jen- nings of the Hotel Elton and Mir Griner are believed to have been completely settled with a prospect of building on the site commencing very shortly. At the present time extensive alterations affecting the Kings Kitchen of the Elton, as well as the West Main street entrance to the tap-room and barber shop are being made.
 The vacant lot adjacent to the FL ton has never been utilized for con- mercial purposes and is part of the original Scovill property on which the Elton was built by a corpora ton composed of local stockholders who engaged the late Almon Judd to run the new hotel. It was open- ed in 1904 and was continuously under MT. Judd's management until his death some years ago. MT. Jen- nings is the present manager of the institution which has always been regarded as one of the finest in the east.

High Sheriff Slavin
 Announces Figures In
 Support of Statement
Tribute Paid Cooperation of Police Authorities in Pre- venting Crime - Record of Efficiency Not
 Determined By Number of Arrests

of the fiscal year from Sept, 1, 1940 !. to May l, 1941.
 Sheriff Slavin took the recent fig ureS in the drop in crime and com pared them with the booming times" of 1927, 1928 and 1929, the years when employment in business was at its highest. !,
 AS a good barometer for crime, the sheriff pointed out the county jail serves this purpose because al- most every persons who Is arrested and convicted and Is over 16 years of age is sent to the county jail be- fore they are transferred to other penal institutions.
 He added that there are few ex- captions where juveniles are sent di- rect from our lower courts to the state reformatory.
 MT. Slavin believes the local and state police departments should be congratulated upo hits efforts in this decrease. He expresses the belief f the First Offender Movement that the police should be judged, not for the number of arrests it makes, but for the amount of crime 1t elim- mates.
 Also included in its appreciation for the good work done, are churches, courts, educational, well fare and recreational agencies for contributing its guidance to the youths of this county.
 A comparative record of commit ments att he New Haven County jail for the following fiscal years follows:
 The period is for September of the preceding year to the year indi- cated,

In A Nut Shell.

Editor Walter K. Nicholson of the
New Ulm Journal, wrote a long edi-
torial against the talk given by
Minnesota's Junior Senator at Mime
apolis on May II. Editor Arthur M.
Nelson of the Fairmont Sentinel
boiled the editorial down to the
following pertinent points:
With the people who went through
World war No. this war is like
seeing the same move twice.
A few years from now we may find
another devil more hideous even than
Hitler.
Hitler is the symptom of the world s
trouble not the cause.
NaZism and its equivalents are the
result of the impoverishments of
wars.
Dictatorships are military receiver
ships which come when a nation is
financially, morally and socially
bankrupt from war.
Almost all the wars arise either
from competition for economic adj
vantage between nations or from
economic distress within the nation.
A dictated peace is usually nothing
but an armed truce.
The America First movement wants
to build our defenses so strong we can
resist any bully or dictator.
We must think of the welfare of
America before we think of the
welfare of (any other country.

CONGRESSWOMEN ON WAR
Duluth Herald)

AS congress moved toward war in
the spring of 1917 much attention was
concentrated on Representative jean
nette Rankin of Montana, the coun-
try's first congresswoman, elected to
office the autumn before.
Miss Rankin said, 81 want to stand
by my country, but cannot vote for
war;" and became one of the little
group which preferred to take the
unpopular side, to risk criticism from
the hysterical millions of a nation
whose emotions had run away with it.
Now another congresswoman, Rep
resentative Frances P. Bolton of
Ohio, is saying some things that
will be remembered long time, too.
Addressing the majority in connection
with the lend-lease bill she said:
81 say to you members of the ma
jority, that we will hold you re-
sponsible if there is war. You have
said all along that this is all for
peace. Then keep us at peace. The
mothers of the United States, yes,
all the women of the country, expect
that of you and will hold you, and
the Chief Executive you represent,
wholly responsible
''Those of us who are on the minor
ity side, who have fought as hard as
we know how to keep this country out
of war, expect you to keep your word.
