Tuberculosis Tests
 For Wilby Seniors
Permission of Parents Expected Cooperating With Tuberculosis League in Making Health Survey

because of the false rumor last month to the effect that tuber- culosis was rampant in that school. Another reason for the selection is the fact that Principal Joseph P. Kennedy has carried on an exten- sive program of disease education at the Grove street school.
 MT. Kennedy stated yesterday that he felt confident that mothers and fathers of the students will cooper- ate 100 per cent in the new program which will employ what Is known as the Patch Test.
 Letters stating the purpose of the tests and consent slips are now in the mail, said Dr. Godfrey.
 According to his outline of the plan, each student will be riven the test; if any symptoms are detected. follow up examinations will be made at the hospital. In this WE :, 1t is the hope of the health auti .orities in this city to arrest and cure any and all cases of tuberculosis, or indica- tions of the dread disease. He said that, undetected, tuberculosis can attain tremendous proportions In youngsters. The Patch test, recofli- mended and approved by the me. dical world as the latest and most reliable, will track down early symptoms of the disease and make possible an early cure. he added.
 He further stated that funds for the experiment would be made avail- able through economies in the health department budget. Medical supplies have already been ordered.
 Council Approves
 The physicians outline. made In the form of 6 report, received the unanimous approval of the council as a progressive step toward the i'm. provement of health standards In Waterbury. If successful, and all In. dications point to just such result, Waterbury will become one of the leading towns in this respect in the entire country.
 William J. Pape was reelected chairman at the meeting. Other of- ficers of the council reelected were: Vice. e-charman, Mrs. Bessie M. Crane and secretary. Frank T. Green.
 The selections were made upon recommendations of the nominating committee of which Rt. Rev. Mssr. Joseph Valdambrini, pastor of Our Lady of Lourdes church, was chair man,

Governor Robert A.

Boston shoemaker, one hundred years ago. 1t was announced today by Charles L. Chute, executive di- rector, National Probation aSsocia- ton. Other Connecticut members of the committee include Judge Ned E. Ostmark, town court, Fairfield; Judge Carroll c. Hincks, U. 6. dis- trict court, New Haven; Harry H. Howard, New Britain Trust coEn- pany, New Britain.

Right to Sue State Made Lively Issue; BIansfieId,
 Egan Disagree
By Democrat Legislative RepOrterD

(By Democrat Legislative RepOTter)
 State Capitol, Hartford, April 90 - The issue of whether or not the right to sue the state shall be grant, ed broke party lines in the Senate yesterday afternoon, with Senator Edward P, Egan and his colleague, Senator Michael V. Blansfield, find ing themselves at odds.
 The bill before the upper chamber had already been passed in the House and would allow George w. Roberts, Jr., or West Hartford, to bring . civil action against the state because an airplane he pur- chased from the state trade school at Putnam was allegedly defective.
 Senator Joseph Cooney of Hart ford offered a judiciary committee recommendation that the bill be uassed, saying he believed that citi- zens should have as much right to sue the state as the state has to sue them.
 Senator Asa Scranton of Wod- stock, c fellow Democrat, opposed Lle h.ll, claiming that the facts did not justify It's passage. He said that the plane had been purchased with out the buyer receiving any recom- imendation and that lawyers would be the only ones to make money out of court proceedings.
 Retorting, Senator Cooney said he felt it was for the courts to de- termine the merits of the case.
 After Q voice vote, Lieutenant- Governor Odoll Shepard said he was in doubt and a rising vote was ordered. Senator Blansfield voted for the bill, while Senator Egan voted against 1t. The meas- ure was passed by a small margin
 The debate raised again an old point of controversy. Senator Cooney and his supporters took the stand that citizens should have the right to sue the state unless their claims are entirely frivolous but 1t is admittedly hard to draw up legislation that will cover the point fairly.

juvenile and first offenders ct the beginning of their careers of wrOng- doing. It also avoids the disgrace and other evils of prison, provides opportunity for self support and family maintenance and makes pog- sible cash restitution for danaees," MT. Chute said, and added.
 "Men in Jail or prison are Q bur- den to society and to themselves. Eficiently financed and administer ed probation for carefully chosen eases is one of the best methods for heading of crime" It was pointed out that in states having good court services, probation is 2 successful antidote for crime and its costs in 76To of cases.
 Serious Crimes
 Urging improvement and exten. sion of probation, parole and juv- chile court to reduce the nations annual toll of more than t.cOO. 900 serious crimes, MT. Chute cited Q comparison of money costs between prison and probation care. Main- tenance of prison and institutions costs taxpayers 475, ,00000O each year, or $500 to $500 per inmate while probation only costs about fifty dollars Q year per prohationer.
 Among other members of the New England committee are: Mayor Wil- liam A. Bennett, Worcester, Mass; Governor Robert A. Hurley, Con- necticut; Governor William H. wills, Vermont; Governor Rolsert Q. Blood, New Hampshire; Associate Justice Francis B. Condon, supreme court, Providence: Judge John A. Peters, U. s. district court, Portland, Maine; Mayor Roger L.
