North believed such a law should

when Congressional leaders

White House lodged the issue
Of bringing the bill up time after

made by the Association. First
they gave the old standby
reason, that Congress had to ad-

that Congress was not going to

way first. The final blow which
broke down their whole argu-

longest in our country's history,

 A freak collision involving four cars occurred on the Middlebury- Waterbury road near Middlebury last night resulting in three per- sons being injured. Police report that the road conditions outside the city were hazardous and attrib- uted this accident to the icy condi- tion which froze the light rain that fell last night.

Stoddard, 48, of Southford Holly road, Oxford, well known jeweler and former resident of this city, was admitted to the Waterbury hospital with possible spinal and chest injuries and multi pie abrasions and contusions. Hos- pital attendants report his condition fair. Others who suffered slight injuries were Edward Romanausky, 21, of Middlebury and Dr. Raymond D. Markle or Woodbury.
 Romanausky was treated for lac- eration of the lower lip and then discharged while Dr. Markle re- ceived treatment from his personal physician.
 According to Constable w. P. Johnson, the accident occurred when Stoddard's car hit an icy spot and skidded against a highway fence and then veered into car operated by Romanausky. pr. Mark le was behind them and attempted to stop but skidded into the two cars when fourth car which the con- stable was unable to learn struck one of the cars in the congested group.
 Another accident on the Middle bury road near Bristol Pines occur red last night when Miss Pauline Toffey, 24, of 229 Echo Lake road, WatertoWn, passenger in car driven by her brother Clayton, Slls- tained slight injuries,

Another car then skidded and hit the rear of the Toffey machine. Constable Johnson said the operator of the car which struck the Toffey automobile was Emily Sedlak, oi Danbury.
 Miss Toffey was taken to the Wat erbury hospital, with contusions oi the scalp and abrasions of the knee and discharged.

CULHANE'S BILLS
 TO BE PRESENTED
Senator MaIkan to IntrO= duCe Measures Favored;
 Former Associate

State Capitol, Hartford, Jan. 23- Former State Senator George T.. Culhane of Waterbury. defeated for renomination last fall by Sena- tor Michael V. Blansfield, intends to make himself felt during the current legislative session. The Democrat learned today when Sen ator Samuel H. Malkan of New Haven stated that he was going to introduce several bills prepared by Culhane within the next few days.
 Senator Malkan said that he eX- pected to confer with Culhane dur ing the next few days to discuss the number and nature of these proposed bills. At present he knows little or nothing about them. It is presumed, however, that ex- Senator Culhane will endeavor to strengthen those sections of the Waterbury charter which he had revised two years ago and which now are the object of attention by Mayor Vincent Scully's administra- ton.
 Culhane will, it is believed, oppose the administrations efforts to sim plify or change amendments that he had put through in 1889. He is also expected to appear at commit tee hearings to speak against any changes.
 At the moment Corporation Coun- sel J. Gregory Lynch is compiling a number of changes that it is be- lieved should be made in the exist ing amended charter. The must be filed by week from tomorrow.

During 1939-194O Bacevicius had successful tour of seventeen concerts in Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil and other parts of South America. Critics have lauded him for the purity of hisjtechnique, his artistic sensibility, and the warmth and sorority of his tone.
 Of his compositions, there are as follows: Two Symphonies an opera; two Ballets; Waltz, Ballet, over ture, Suite; two piano Concertos and seven modern compositions for the organ, including two Lithuan- ian songs. This concert is sponsored by local Lithuanian groups.
