 One bill suggested establishment of state department of agricul- ture headed by a commissioner ap- pointed by the governor with the advise and consent of the Senate, to hold office for four years from July 1. The measure proposed abolition of the domestic animals depart ment, with it's duties to be trans ferred to the newly-created agri- cultural agency.
 A second bill abolishes the office of dairy and food commissioner, transferring its duties to the state health department. The commits sioner now is James B. Lowell. ex- ecutive secretary to former Repub- lican Governor Raymond E. Bald win.
 The third reform abolished the office ofg statute revision commissioner, transferring these duties to the secre- tary of states office. Frederck R. Scott, Plymouth, is the commis- Sioner.

DELUCE OF BILLS
 IN BOTH HOUSES
Total Wilf Surpass Num- Der Two Years Ago,
 Which Was 2529
(NEA Telephoto)

Hartford, Conn.,, Jan. 31-CUP)-- A final deluge of bills today sent the number of new measures sub mitted to the General Assembly soaring toward record heights.
 Two years ago, the total number of bills reached 2529. This year, the bills were expected to pass this total, with some to spare. Today was the last day for introduction of new business, and hundreds of measures were dumped on the clerks desks in both chambers.
 This weeks tremendous rush will be followed by virtual quiet for the next two or three weeks when com mittees arrange for hearings. The legislature will return to the three session week, meeting on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
 The appropriations committee, meantime, withheld approval of the state public works department budg- ct for the next biennium, which called for a $230,00O increase in the salary item.

STRUBINC CASE
 IN HANDS OF JURY
Famous Assault Trial Is Over-GOes to Jury Just
 Before Noon

Bridgeport, Conn, Jan. 31 - (U. P0 A superior court jury of six men and six women retired shortly before noon today to begin it's delib- erations in the case of Joseph Spell, Negro chauffeur-butler, on trial on charges of raping Mrs. Eleanor Strubing, his socially prominent Greenwich employer.
 The jury began its deliberations after Judge Carl Foster charged them for an hour and seven min- utes, pointing out that one proven act of force would. constitute rape in the eyes of the law.
 If you think Mrs. Strubing used poor judgement when she did not leave the bedroom when she saw the accused" he said, such acts in themselves did not give the accused any license to have intercourse with her by force and against her will.
 Spell was charged with criminally assaulting Mrs. Strubing, wife of a New York advertising executive the night of December 10, after calling her from showerbath to ask her for money.
 Mrs. Strubing alleged she was raped three times, taken to West chester County, N. Y, reservoir and thrown into the water.

Gen. Electric Whiskers" BergenzOli Will COnl-
 nland at Benghazi BRITAIN EXPECTS TO
 HAVE TERRIFIC FIGHT Greek Forces Gain Heights Nine Miles North of Tepe. lin, Now Under Attack
BY H. L. PERCY


 United Press Staff Correspondentl
 London, January 31. - (UP) = Italy has masSed 5O,0O0 men before Benghazi for an attempt to save the city, copital of Cyrenaica and expected terminus of the drive of the British army of the Nile into Libya, it was reported today. General Annibale Electric Whiskers" Bergonzoli, who escaped from the British forces at Bardia, was be- lieved to have been entrusted with command of the Italian force at Benghazi.
 Two British armies were moving westward toward Banghazi, one through the interior desert and across the Jebel Fl Akhar or Green Mountains, the other along the coastal road from Derna, whose complete occupation was announced yesterday.
 British advance units were under- stood to be already feeling out the Italian positions in the Bengha1 area and awaiting the arrival of the larger bodies.
 No Triumphant March
 There had been some speculation whether the Italians would try to. make real stand at Benghazi. But military advices from Cairo made it plain that a defense was expected, possibly one which would make Benghaz the most difficult prize in the whole British North African offensive. A military spokesman at Cairo said that it was nonsensical to expect a triumphant British march into Benghazi.
 Military inforrnants made it plain also that the advance of big British forces on Benghazi would probably be slow.
 There are reported to be no Ital- ians in the path of the interior force east of the Benghazi area. But there are at least 10000 Italians, it is reported, along the coastal road from Derna. They have been re- treating and may be disorganized but it i asserted that the Italians could find plenty of places to make stand if they desired.
 Weather threatened to aid in slowing the last phase of the British drive. An eight-month drought has been broken and violent sand storms are starting at some places.
 Gen. Electric Whiskeys" Bergon. zoli was reported to have been or- dered to make a "do or die" stand before Benghazi, and to be busy en- trenching positions in the part of both the interior and coastal British armies.
 Change Tactics
 The British changed their tactics in taking Derna. At Bardia and Tobruk they had massed large forces and then made a frontal assault 9t the weakest point. At Derna there was only a brief artillery attack and then infantrymen in small units,

 Knox said he had heard author itatively that German leaders are studying weather conditions right now" to seize upon the first avail able spell of good weather to pro- ject their attack.
 All signs point, he said, to a "very grave crisis" in the war within "60 or 90 days"
 Knox also said that when and if the invasion attempt comes there are strong indications that there will be use of gas on large scale."
 Sen. Gerald P. Nye, R., N. D., asked Knox whether the British aid bill would permit the conveying by U. S. naval vessels of British merchant ships.
 'FNo more than if we didn't pass the bill," Knox said.
 Does the president have the pow CT to order conveys now?" Nye asked.
