Lynch Pension May
 BeLess ThanAsked
Will Not Be $1,5OO That Had Been Asked; Trade School Advocates Are Still Trying to
 Push Vote
BY RAYMOND J. FITZPATRICK Democrat Legislative Reporter)

State Capitol, Hartford, May 23. - Representative Edward S. Birge chairman of the House Cities and Bor oughs Committee told The Democrat today that is his prediction that the House will pass and send to the Senate
 bill granting pension to Mrs Kathryn Lynch, widow of the late Fire Chief Thomas j. Lynch He said however
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-05-23

that the pension would be much less
 than the $500 asked by Mrs, Lynch, probably $500, and would not be retroactive to 1897, the year oi Fire Chief Lynch's death.
 He also said that most members of the House with whom he has talked seem to feel that e pension Is de- served. He had no comment to make on tho bill's chances In the Senate, but 1t is expected that Sena- tors Michael v. Blansheld and Ed ward P. Egan will marshal opposi- ton to 1t in view of the fact that tho City of Waterbury is opposed to the granting of such a pension on the ground that if 1t Is forced to pay 1t e number of other pensions, whose circumstances are similar, will be in order.
 Tho Birgc committee expects to bring in 6 report on tho new pension bill early next week.
 Already the House Cities and Bor- Cuglis committee has voted unfavor- ably on pension bills for Flremen Patrick Costello and Daniel Fran, and Mrs. Marie Coughlail, widow of Q fireman. It voted favorably for . pension to Mrs. Elvira Blodgett, mother of the late Patrolman Eu- gene Blodgett.
 The Senate Cities and BoroughS committee has voted thvorably on c pension for Mrs. Mary Luddy, mother of the late Patrolman Edw. Luddy and also for full pay for life to Fire Private Harold Parker, who now Is totally ilcapacitated as Q result of injuries received in fight- ing 0 fire.

PLANNING FOR POWER

The proposal to increase the power
plant capacity of the United States by about
100000 kilowatts is extremely interest
ing in view of the contention, few years
ago, that the nation was overwhelming
hydro-electric plants. 9g sa
The kilowatt capacity is now around
42,000,OO0. It does not seem to be enough
as the Federal Power Commission intimates
that its program includes expansion that
will be undertaken regardless of the de-
Tense program.
What has become of the idea that the
Tennessee Valley Authority was going to
produce so much power that there would be
no market? The scarcity that now exists.
after enormous plants have been construct
ed, demonstrates that this argument was
fallacious,

FIRST SUPREME COURT

Bv the terms of the Constitution, the
judicial power of the United States is vested
in lone Supreme Court and in such m
ferior courts as the Congress may from time
to time ordain and establish Under this
provision, the first Congress in 1889 passed
an act placing the membership OF the SUI
preme Court at six, composed of CHIEF
Justice and five associate justices.
AS members of the first court President
Washington appointed John Jay of New
York as chief justice, and John Rutledge
of South Carolina, William Cushing of
Massachusetts,, James Wilson of Penn
sylvania, John Blair of Virginia and Rob
ert HI. Harrison Of Maryland as associate
Justices
The first session of the court in New
York City was called for February |, 1870,
but only three members appeared, 50 adj
iournment was taken until the following
day, when four were present-Jay Cush-
ing, Wilson and Blair-and the court was
organized, with Edmund Randolph of Vir-
ginia as the first attorney general. On Feb
ruary 8, John Tucker of Massachusetts was
indicted as the courts first clerk.
There is nothing of record to show
that Robert H. Harrison ever accepted his
appointment as associate justice, and James
Iredell Of North Carolina was appointed in
his stead in 1870.
Original salaries were $4,000 year
for the chief justice and $4,000 for as
sociate justices. At present the salaries are
$50 500 for the chief justice and S2O,0o0
for associate Justices. Several changes in
the number of members have been made by
Congress, the largest number being 10, but
since 1869 the court has been composed OF
nine members, six of whom constitute
quorum.

DOUGLAS M'ARTHUR CARRYING ON
FAMILY TRADITION in PHILIPPINES
eAssoclated PRESS Feature service,

MANILA, Aug. lit. Gen.
Arthur Macarthur helped clear
the Spaniards out of Manila in
1898. Later he defended Ma
Mia against the forces Of Aguin-
aldo, and still later he served
two years as military governor
Of the Philippines.
Newest chapter IN the story of
the MacArthurs and the Phillip
pines was started when President
Roosevelt named Arthur MacAr-
thurs son commander of COM
bined u. S. and Filipino forces
in the islands. The son is Doug
las Macarthur, military adviser
to the Philippine government
since 1885.
The younger Macarthur, with
the current rank of Lieutenant
General, has in a period of 38
years held five different assign
ments in the Philippines, but
there was time between these
jobs for him to become best
known to the American public as
a dashing leader Of doughboys in
France and as an army chief of
staff who insisted on moderniza-
ton of U. S. armed forces.

HELPING THE NATION AND YOURSELF

Americas petroleum industry, aiding
co.. rdinator Harold &. Ickes in his cam
paign for voluntary cut in east coast fuel
consumption, presents the unusual spec
tacle Of great industry urging its GUS
toners not to buy.
Ickes, himself, told newsmen recently
that the industry's cooperation was such as
he had never seen in his life.
$250,000 for advertising IN your
newspapers. telling people not to buy their
products. Did yoll ever hear anything like
it?''
Ickes' comment was called forth by
the fact that the petroleum industry has
launched an advertising campaign urging
voluntary cooperation in the oil conserva-
tion program.
Urging motorists to make two gallons
do the work Of three, the company adver-
tisements explain five "does" and five
"dont'so for fuel saving.
East coast residents up to now have
shown little cooperation with the govern
ment's campaign for fuel conservation, ana
the night "blackout' of filling stations adj
mittedly has had little effect beyond bring
ing home to the people an mixing Of the
fact that business cannot go on entirely as
usual through a world crisis.
It has been suggested, as matter OF
fact, that the effect on the citizens IS the
principal reason for the nightly shutdown.
Whether that is true or not, the fact
does remain that an oil shortage does exist
on the east coast of the nation, and it must
be met with some effective measure,
From the standpoint of the motorlst
who does not want to give up his right to
buy gasoline at will, the suggestions OF the
oil companies are the most reasonable an
swer. If is possible to do the same amount
Of driving, but to cut fuel consumption
through better driving and a little care OF
your car, the citizen surely can have no
reasonable objection.
