GOVERNOR TALKS
 ON APPOINTMENTS
No Action Expected Until Legislation Passes Gen.
 eral Assembly
(By Democrat Legislative Reporter)

(By Democrat Legislative Reporter)
 State Capitol, Hartford, April 30 Patronage and major political ap- pointments are rapidly coming to a head at Hartford with John M. Golden of New Haven evidently the leading non administration con- sultee. MT. Golden is Q close ofilli- ate, politically, of National Commit teefnan David E. FitzQerald and was toastmaster of the recent Jackson day dinner held by Connecticut Democrats in New Haven.
 Governor Robert A. Hurley, MT. Golden and State Chairman John T. Mccarthy are known to have lunched together Tueday and to have discussed generally the subject of patronage and appointments. There were no actual appointments mentioned, but general policy with regard to all of them was talked over at length.
 The governor let 1t be under- stood, The Democrat learned, that he did not intend to make any com nlitmentS whatsoever with regard to major or minor appointments until his legislative program had been taken care of. Yesterday the legislature extended to May l3 the time within which the governor may make his appointments.
 One result of yesterdays meeting may be that views of Democratic leaders throughout the state on patronage disposition and appoint. ments may be asked for. whether this would be at e general meeting of prominent state and local office- holders or whether various leaders would be called in individually eW- dently remains to be decided upon.
 But one fact Is evident, the prob lem of appointments is rapidly re- solving itself into a desire on the part of the leaders to get them over with, but not at the expense of dis rupting party lines or losing voter prestige by Q wholesale grab"

my acquaintance popped out at
discreet intervals from the movie
screen at the theater in which
I was sitting.
There needn't be too much
mystery about the fellow-his
name was--and. of course, is
Robert Benchley.
As a matter of fact. Mr..
Benchley, who always wanted
to be OF the sock and buskin
set. is doing fairly we'll for HIM
self and his income tax returns
by acting dead-panned or
grimacing. narrating or keep
ing eloquently silent-in the
cinemas.
In fact, / should-and will
say that Mr.. Benchley earns
many penny more by his
cinematic endeavors than by his
writings-and he is among the
top-draWer writers.
