SIX SENATORS
 FIGHT HOLD-UP
New Haven, Waterbury Group Opposed to Delay
 on Trade School Bills
(sy Democrat Legislative Reporter)

(By Democrat Legislative RepOrter)
 State Capitol, Hartford, May B. A coalition of six New Haven and Waterbury state senators was pro- posed today as means of combat- ing successful drag" that Repub- lican legislators have placed on trade school legislation for both ci- ties.
 That, the coalition was discussed this week become known yesterday. Efforts to foster it's active coopera- ton in Q movement in the Senate that would successfully block leg islation in which the Cities and BoroughS and the Appropriations Committees were interested in were meeting with much success.
 Already Waterbury's two senators, Edward P. Egan and Michael V. Blansfield, had let 1t be known that they intended to block 50 far as they were able any bills coming be- fore the Senate in which they be- lieved that Reps. Edward 8. Blrge, House chairman of tho cities and Boroughs Committee, and Carl Sharpe, House chairman of the Ap- propriations Committee to be per- sonally interested. ..
 That Senator James P. deelan Samuel H. Malkan, Joseph T, Rourke, and William L. Egan, all of New Haven, might be persuaded to join such movement gained rapid headway when oil New Haven leg islators late this week protested at the delay planned for the bill now facing the Appropriations Commit tee setting up an item of S282.ee0 in the state budget for Q New Haven Trade School.
 The coalition of six Democratic senators from New Haven and Wa terbury is believed sufficiently strong to force the House commit tee chairmen to agree to speedier action on the Trade School bills. Waterbury legislators also believe that they can persuade the New Haven bloc in using much the same pressure to release the city's charter revision bill from the same position of inaction.

TROUBLE SEEN FOR
 BRASHER'S BIRDS
Purchase of Celebrated Paintings May Face Com.
 mittee Opposition
(By Democrat Legislative Rsporter)

(By Democrat Legislative Reporter)
 State Capitol, Hartford, May B. Action of the appropriations com mittee this week on trade school bills for Waterbury and New Haven indicates a stormy road ahead for the proposal that the state pur- chase the bird paintings of Rex Brasher of Kent for $74,290. The general assembly yesterday re- ceived a recommendation from a special committee headed by Will liam J. Pape of Waterbury that the painting be purchased at the price mentioned Governor Robert A, Hurley, who sent the committees $ report and recommendations to the geenral assembly, made no comment in his message of transmission made no comment other than to suggest that the legislature give the report serious consideration"
 Members of the appropriations committee are claiming that sev- eral years ago the same paintings were offered to the state without cost. provided they were placed on permanent exhibition in suitable quarters. Another difficulty in the bills path is the fact that when the creation of the committee was au- thoriSed. Senator Michael V. Blans- field of Waterbury who introduced the legislation at MT. Pape's request said that the cost to the state would be purely nominal" In con- versations with other legislators, Senator Blansfield was reported to have said he thought the price would be between $S,O00 and slO,- 900.
 The appropriations committee this week held up action on the Waterbury and New Haven trade school bills on the ground that enough money might not be avail able when the state budget had

Atlantic Patrol Gets Orders To Avoid Shots
Mission Not to Destroy Axis Ships, But to Spot Them; Coming Problem Discussion in Con-
 gross Is Gradually Subsiding
BY LYLE c. WILSON United Press Staff Correspondent


 Washington, April 3-(UP)-The United States Atlantic patrol has been ordered to avoid shooting at all costs short of getting sunk" a usually well-informed official said today.
 The patrol, now operating at least 2,000 miles off shore and within 1,500 miles of western British ports, has been informed, this source con- tlnued, that its mission Is not to destroy Axis surface, submarine or aircraft but "to spot them" broad cast information regarding their whereabouts and remain in contact until British forces can overtake them. ...
 The foregoing information came from a source so usually Well-ln- formed as to be persuasive, The United Press checked with the Navy Department and was told by an au- thorized spokesman: we have no comment on that one"
 But the foregoing outline of pa- trol objectives appeared to fit the pattern of what many persons here believe is the design of President Roosevelt's expanded North Atlan- tic patrol. That is, that the Amer ican patrol vessels shall convoy the Axis raiders" rather than con- voy munitions-laden vessels in the British life line. Asked at recent press conference what patrol ves- sel should do if it encountered an Axis warship attacking a merchant ship, MT. Roosevelt said the instruc- tions were to radio him for orders.
 Congressional discussion of the convoy problem has subsided for the time being but is likely to develop again Monday when Republicans in the House plan to attack adminis- tration legislation to authorize MT.

ADVOCATED KING
 EN ROUTE HERE
Carol Sails for America Chile May Be Ultimate
 Destination
---NEA Telephoto

Lisbon, Portugal, May 3-(UP)- Carol, abdicated Rumanian king was enroute to America today aboard the American Export liner EXcambion, with Mazda Lupescu his mistress for 20 years, and Er- nest Udreanu, his former lord cham berlain.
 Their destination was uncertain One report was that they would leave the ship at Bermuda and transship to South America, prob ably to take up residence in Chile, and that they had several visas but none for entering the United States. Another report was that they would continue to New York, go from there to Havana, Cuba, and from there to Valparaiso, Chile.
 They got the same shipboard ac- commodations as other refugees. Carol. who once had some of the gaudiest uniforms and one of the most lavish courts in Europe, shared a small cabin with Udreanu. He travelled as Count Vrancea. Miss Lupescu, listed on the manifest as Madame LorenZ, shared cabin with an American woman, May Rose Ay- mer. The ship carried a capacity load of 190 passengers.
 Hours before sailing time, Carols party boarded the ship as inconspic- uously as possible. Policemen, steve dores and a few bystanders watched the departure from Europe of har- ried ex-monarch whom the vagaries of Balkan politics had transformed from playboy to national strong man to fugitive.
 Carold wore a rumpled, double breasted gray business suit. Miss Lu-

Believes American Unity, Purpose Destroyed By
 Attack on Our Leaders

Declaring that "by no act of mine would I wish to give any semblance of support to the cause of youi committee" the mayor declined ar invitation of Committee Chairman William T. Bissell to welcome tho speakers. d..
 Unity Essential
 we are engaged In, a great na- tioial' defense program" he told Bissell in his letter of refusal. "our people are called upon to make ter- rife sacrifices for the common cause, To achieve thisp urpose, unity is essential and that unity canont be attained by making personal and vitrolic attacks oil the man whom the people have chosen to be their leader.
 Let us not repeat the mistakes we have madle in the past and let us not emulate the countries of Eu- rope which have gone down to dis- aster. Every right that we hold sacred has been challenged. There Is but one way to met the challenge and that Is to convince the dictators of the world that tho American people are banded together for the preservation of that which Is more sacred than life itself"
 ..: Rights Protected
 The mayor pointed out that "in q democracy, of course, everyone is entitled not only to his opinion but the opportunity to express 1t. There fore, there can be no objection upon the part of anyone as to the exercise of this privilege by your committee.
