GASOLINE PRICE SURVEY STARTED
Many Retail Dealers Be. lieve Recent Increases
 Were Unnecessary

Waterbury motorists, greeted with & cheer the news that Governor Robert A. Hurley had called on the state defense council to begin ar immediate investigation into the latest rise in gasoline prices and with their brother drivers about tho state, will await with great in- terest tho outcome of the survey being undertaken by committee ol the council.
 The increase in prices made ef- fectiye this week was the third boost within recent months. Prices TOT the three grades popularly used nave climbed from three and a half to SIX cents within that period.
 Many retail dealers say frankly that they believe the increases un- necessary and contend that the major oil companies are seeking to take advantage of the present de. fense emergency. The retailers say that their profit remains unchanged that they are simply passing on to to the consumer the price increases ordered by the wholesalers. In fact they claim that their percentage oi profit has been greatly decreased since the prices were elevated.
 The defense council investigation will be carried on by q committed named by Defense Administrator Samuel Fisher of Litchfield, whe heads the council recently nance by Governor Hurley. The commit. tee Is being instructed to report back on whether or not the boos' was Justified. Should the commit' tee report that the increases were unwarranted, Governor Hurley may call on the federal government te step Into the situation.

the nomination in committee as they did two years ago when, un- like this year, the Republicans had control of the Senate with Social ist aid. f@
 When the Senate failed to act on the Cox nomination in 1929, the Governor Raymond E. Baldwin had him hold over as an interim ap- pointee. The ensuing period has accounted for two years of what would have been an official four year term had confirmation been voted, and hence this year Governor Hurley was able to nominate hint only for the period from July l, l94l, to July 1. 1943. Commissioner Cox was originally appointed by Governor Wilbur l.. Cross, to fill the unexpired portion of the term of the late Commissioner John A. Macdonald.
 An effort is being made to link the anti-Cox group with move to hold up confirmation also of the nomination of Vincent Dooley of New Haven for a place on the Pub lie Utilities Commission. ....-e
 The maneuvering up to now has been all in the background and even known anti-CoX legislators have been careful not to commit themselves as planning to oppose confirmation. The movement will probably have to come into the open next week, however, since many more votes against confirma- ton. are needed than are now avail able. z.
 denomination of Commissioner' Cox came as a real surprise to both Republicans and Democrats, and there is still considerable mystery attached to the governors arrival at a decision to submit his name foi the remaining two years of his term
