COURT OF COMMON PLEAS UNDER FIRE
Several Bills Presented Calling for Changes;
 Hearing Start Today
(By Democrat Legislative Reporter)

(By Democrat Legislative Rep0rter)
 State Capitol. Hartford, March 4 Numerous bills calling for re-or- ganiZation of the Common Pleas courts of the state were scheduled for @ hearing before the Judiciary Committee this afternoon, but the bill of similar nature, introduced by Senator Michael V. Blansfield of Waterbury is not expected to be heard at this time.
 Several days ago Senator Blans- field asked the committee to post pone the hearing on his bill due to the absence from this state of Att torney William J. Larkin, Jr., of Waterbury, prosecutor of the Com mon Pleas court who has been i'll and is recuperating in Florida. Pres ently Attorney J. Warren Upson is the acting prosecutor in the Water- bury common pleas court.
 Several other recommendations for recognizing the court system will in all probability be discussed, Among these is proposal that a circuit system be established with the several judges hearing cases in different places, similar to the SUD- erior court system now in vogue. Another measure would reduce the number of common pleas judges to five, one for each congressional dis trict.
 Still another calls for uniform jurisdiction among all the courts. Waterbury's court now has unlimit- ed jurisdiction, although Hartford's court there is no criminal jurisdic- tion.
 Senator Blansfeld's bill allows the senior judge in Waterbury court to name the staff, all members of which would have to be judges and would serve for short periods. Other staff changes would be made too, under the Blansfield measure.

EYES OF TURF WORLD ON BIG
 RACE TODAY
POrter's Cap FavOrite In $5O,OOO s an { a Anita
 Derby-Off at 7:lOE EST
BY JACK GUENTHER United Press Staff Correspondent

Arcadia, Cal, Feb. 12-(UP)- Sixteen three-year-old thorough breds go to the post for mile and furlong spin after the $50000 purse of the seventh Santa Anita Derby this afternoon.
 The footing was sticky and slip pery after day of rain, but clear skies and a warm sun by race time were forecast. The favorable pre- diction was enough to convince the natives, and some 35,000 persons expected to spend their Lincoln,s birthday holiday trying to pick winner.
 FavOrite.
 Most of them were content to ride along with Charles s. Howard on a rising star named Porter's Cap. The son of the Porter, picked up by the San Franciscan at Saratoga for a small price, was a slight favorite on the morning line at odds of slightly less than to l.
 The question of whether the famed Howard luck could be stretched another notch was pug zler for the crowd and a substantial minority backed other starters in the comparatively small field. The competition figured to be close with at least four colts and geldings and one lilly battling for the prize richest three-year-old purse in the west.
 They were Breckinridge Longs Nasca, Cleveland Putnam's Swain, A. G. Vanderbilt,s Good Turn, Mills dale Stables Bull Reign and Val dina Farms Valdina Groom. The lesser-knowns scheduled to go to the gate included the entry of Sta retor and Copperman, Pirate, Madi- gama, Welcome Pass, Fairymant and the Mutuel Field combination of Armistice, Buckthorn Creek, Ha- vana Lad and Transfigure.
 Solid Horse.
 All but one of the low priced choices received a good break in the draw for post positions. The only solid horse to be sent to the outside was Bull Reign, who drew stall 15. The bulldog colt was ex- pected to cut out the early pace
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-02-12

along with Good Turn and Madi- gama, while Nasca, Valdina Groom and Porter's Cap were looked to for their best efforts in the stretch.
 The muddy track, lashed by rain all yesterday morning, was not eX- pected to seriously alter the out come. Swain and Valdina Groom picked up somewhat on the treach- erous footing. The race carried a gross value of approximately $50,- 900, and will be used as a measur- ing stick of what may be expected in the Kentucky Derby, Preakness, Belmont Stake and other rich di- visional fixtures later in the year.
 The derby was scheduled to be run around 4:10 p. m., T:10 p. m., EST), as the sixth event on an eight-race card. The field attracted was by far the best in the seven- year history and track officials pre- dicted betting turnover of around ,25o,o00-providing there was sun- shine.
