Willie Does Right Well
In HEAVY Gloss

Wherever it was that Willie Conn
learned his stuff-and he does have
many points in common with Harry
Greb-he learned 1t well. After
beating all the middleweights and
light heavyweights in sight, Willie
began TO scratch his initials on
heavyweightS.
He has not been fighting the best
class of heavyweight, to be sure.
Most of his recent opponents were
boys who glanced through the time
table before the battle and always
caught the earliest train. But
Willie hasn't failed with any of
them yet, and they all wind up re-
sembling a handkerchief after a
nosebleed.
Willie IS a beautiful blend Of
manly grace and refined larceny.
He may not beat Joe Louis, but you
can bet that Joe, older than Willie
by good three years, will learn
things he never knew before. A
liberal education; that's Willie.

CITY CHARTER IS
 NOW LOCALIZED
Trade School Measure Has Also Become Law; Gov.
 Hurley Signs Them

The city charter revision bill and the Waterbury state trade school bill became law today when Gov- ernor Robert A. Hurley affixed his signature to both measures at the State Capitol in Hartford. Both bills automatically became effective when the governor signed them.
 Had regular routine been followed the measures might have remained unsigned until close to July 1, but Senator Edward P. Egan visited the governor late last week to ask that they be given special consideration. Governor Hurley agreed and today's signing was the result.
 The charter revision bill alters and amends many existing sections of the present city charter. One rea- son for the city administration s desire to have 1t signed early is 8 section which allows the deposit of citly funds in out-of-town banks. Previously the charter had required that city funds be deposited only in local banks. but tax collections last year and this year have been so heavy that more money has been placed with banks here than they are allowed to have from the city under state law.
 The trade school bill provides 6 state appropriation of $250.O00 for the equipping and stafiing of school buildings which the city must first build. The city plans to erect the buildings from proceeds of the David Porter estate and @ eI00,000 bond issue.

Governor Hurley Has Vetoed Gambling Bill
Purposes of Measure, Passed in Last Days of As- sembly Were Defeated Said Governor; Wide,
 Open Gambling Would Be Allowed

Hartford, Conn, June l7-(UP> -Gov. Hurley today vetoed Q gam bling bill passed during the last days of the legislative session, de- claring 1t was contrary to public policy"
 The bill was one allowing the operation of games of hazard or chance, and which opponents de- clared would restore legalized gan- bling in the state.
 Accompanying his veto, was 8 message from the governor In which he said "this act purports to allow any charitable, civic, educa- tional, fraternal or religious organ ization, volunteer fire department or Grange, to operate games of skill and games of hazard. But the bill is so loosely drawn that the purpose of the act is defeated and wide open gambling would prob- ably be permitted.
 If it was the. intention of the proponents of this bill to provide sources of revenue for volunteer organizations, to carnivals of fairs operated and conducted by mem- bers themselves, without profess sional or outside assistance, the bill is not so limited in its scope and consider 1t to be contrary to public policy"
 The governor also vetoed Q bill exempting municipalities from pay ing the state tax on gasoline. Such exemptions, said the governor, would set up unanticipated expense to the state and cause Q curtail- ment in revenue which he could not consider justified.
 Gov. Hurley said he had signed more than l50 bills, mostly rou- tine, during the past few days. among them measures providing for new trade schools at New Ha- ven, Waterbury and Norwich. He said he also had signed the Wat erblxx chsEter arneuamenta
