STATE LABOR BILL
 HAS SPLIT COP.
(Continued from Page D

whose secretary, John J. Egan, has declared he would ask Gov. Hurley to veto the bill If 1t passes in It's present form. He charged 1t would 'sabotage" the interests of labor and place unions on an unequal basis with industries not unionized.
 Members of the judiciary commit. tee, which reported the bill favor. ably, said there was an approximate 60-50 split among Republicans on the measure. Seven House members of the judiciary committee reserved their rights to oppose the measure or its major provisions when 1t reaches the floor of the House.
 No Doubt of Passage
 There appeared no doubt the bill would pass the Senate. In the House Rep. William l.. Hadden, Orange, Republican majority leader, favored the measure as reported by the com mittee.
 Opposing were reported to be Re- publicans like Rep. Harold E. Mitchell, West Hartford; Rep. Stan- ley E. Mead, New Canaan; and Rep, E. Lea Marsh, Lyme.
 The attack on certain provisions of the labor relations bill by John J. Egan, secretary of the Connecti- cut Federation of Labor, brought sharp rejoinders from Democratic members of the Judiciary commit- tee. Sen. Albert l. Coles, Bridge port, Senate Judiciary chairman, said the bill was a swell break for labor".
 House Democrats supported coles, saying a radical bill would have no chance of passing the House.
 There were reports in the House that Republican members were pre- pairing amendments, one of them calling for 6 To-day cooling off period before a strike can be called
 Another prospective amendment would define as unfair labor practice having Q majority of persons on the picket line not striking employees.
 Meantime, the committee on con- gressional and senatorial districts held Q hearing on c proposal tc euualize the states five congression- al districts. The bill was sponsored by the state election laws revision commission. Patrick R. phalen Torrlngtoti Democrat and c ccmmis- sion member, opposed the hili, say- ing the commission should have proposed equalization of the House

 Two new members of the Public Utilities Commission are to be named, along with @ member of the Liquor Control Commission, an athletic commissioner and sev- eral more.
 Nominations must also be made by the governor for several super for court judgeships which become vacant before the 1o43 General Assembly, and for several common pleas court judgeships, including one in Waterbury.
 There Is no dearth of applicants for the patronage which the gov- ernor will dispose of within the next few weeks, but the impression still prevails here that there will be several surprises when nognina- tions are announced.

 Washington, April '-The U. s. has embarked on Q low-cost hous- ing program that will be Q really low-rent project too.
 Most so-called "low-cost" housing plans have been developed to At the more than truly average American income. Now the U. 6. Housing Authority Is experimenting through out the South with rural homes renting at an average of $70 year, of which $60 will be paid in cash, the other $70 credited for tenants !abor in maintaining the property
 Each of the houses has two or three bedrooms, 0 living room, large kitchen, dining room and storage space. They are wired for electri- city, and provision has been made for installation of bathrooms in the future.
 Shop pre-cutting and assembly of building materials are being used In the construction of most, with such items as ub-flooring, shingle lath, trim and roofing left to work CTS ct the home site. Using this method, ono contractor was able to complete about 12 houses every two weeks.

sition, broke through feeble Jugo- slay defenges ct the Bulgar- Greek. Jugoslav corner and then swung south, fianking the Greeks from the rear.
 The collapse of the Jugoslav army defending the southern corner Of the country appeared to be 0 much more serious development than loss of Salonika.
 The Germans apparently broke through ct two points. The first was along the line of the strumica river, just north of the Greek iron. tier. They pushed west about 2b miles, entered the Vardar valley and quickly cut south into Greece.
 A second, and stronger, German column drove west from Kustendil, on the Bulgarian border due east of Skoplje. The German high com. mand reported that this column had driven 62 miles straight across Jugoslavia in the skoplje area, which would place 1t less than 40 miles from the Albanian frontier. Jugoslavia is only 100 miles wide ct this point.
 The Germans now have effective control of large stretch of the chief railroad of southeast Europe and presumably will attempt now to drive north along the railroad, bi- secting Jugoslavia and further dis. rupting the already dificult task of the Jugoslav defenders.
 There was no confirmation today of rumors that the Germans had occupied Nistl, about 100 miles north of skoplje and Q railroad center of equal importance. However, 1t seemed probable that third Ger- man column is driving westward toward this city from Bulgaria If 1t has not reached there.
 It was reported from Bucharest that the Germans have occupied most of the Banat region. This is the flat plains country of northeast ern Jugoslavia, north of Belgrade and adjoining Hungary.
 The Germans claimed to have taken about 10000 prisoners so far, including six generals. They have not made contact with the British Expeditionary Force in Greece, al- though the Royal Air Force has been in furious action, attempting to halt the Nazi Panzer divisions.
 The Jugoslav radio returned to the air today after a three-day in- terruption, giving the first news that has come direct from Jugo- slavia since the attack started. This consisted of a brief generalized statement by the government to the effect that "the situation is favor. able" on all fronts.

Dependent Children

Hartford, Conn.,, April 0--(UP)- The Legislature completed action today on Q bill enabling the state to receive e $i,000,0o0 annual fed- eral grant to aid dependent chil- dren.
 The House gave unanimous ape proval to the measure, which went through the Senate without a dis- senting vote week ago.
 It abolishes widows aid, and ex- tends protection now given depen- dent children, increasing the mum. Der from approximately 5000 to l2,- 900, including those of aliens
 Cost of this aid reaches about $2,- 600,000 @ year, toward which the state and towns contribute $800,000 equally.
 Senate Approves Bill
 Hartford, Conn, April E(UP)- The Democratic controlled Senate today approved Governors Hurley's bill creating @ defense council to coordinate all defense efforts in Connecticut.
 The bill provides, in addition to council to be appointed by the governor, for a full-time paid ad- ministrator, who will serve until the expiration of the emergency and who will direct the organiza- ton of local and county defense units.
 The preamble of the bill stated the council would promote state and national security by formulat- ing and assisting the execution oi plans for the mobilization and effi- cient utilization of the resources and facilities of the state and for the coordination of state and local &C., tivities relating to national defense
 Republicans. who favored reten- ton of q defense setup organized by Former Gov. Raymond E. Bald. win, offered only mild objection tc passage of the bill, which was substitute for one passed earlier ] in the session in the House.

ITALIANS JOIN
 JUCOSLAV ATTACK

 In the Scutari region, dispatches said, Jugoslav troops were trying to force their way across the lake on light rafts.
 The Italian ninth army "crushed' attempts by Greek forces to enter the road skirting the western shore of Lake Okhrida, at the meeting of the Albanian, Jugoslav and Greek frontiers, to effect contact with the Jugoslavs, the official agency re- ported.
 It was announced here that the government had seized two steam- CTS, Dubac and Una, at Genoa on the ground that though they were flying the Swiss flag they were really Jugoslav. Cargoes of the ships, which belong to Swiss inter- ests, were sent to Switzerland, 1t was said
 A Messaggero dispatch from Tam giers quoted travellers from Gibral- tar that four British warships had been damaged, and one sunk, in the British Italian naval battle March 28.
 Italians put great emphasis on the importance of the German-Italian thrust through Libya. They called 1t an Axis answer to the United States talk of making Red sea ports available to American war material ships, and began to talk again of c drive across the Egyptian frontier and the possibility of e serious threat to the Suez canal 600 air line miles from Derna, whose cap- ture was announced yesterday.
 There were unofficial reports that the Germans and Italians had al- ready taken Tobruk, 100 miles east of Derna.
 Italians Seize Town
 Rome, April 0--(UP)---1talian ad- vance guards have occupied the Jugoslav frontier town of Krankska- gora, north of Plume, the high command said today.
 It's communique said that in fighting Greeks In Albania Italian troops repulsed local attacks, cap- turing some hundreds of prisoners.
 It said activity on the Albanian Jugoslav front was mo(Dy by small detachments. Italians were said to have taken "some prisoners"
 Italian aviation bombed naval units and anchored hydroplanes at Sebenico, Jugoslavia. according to the communique which said Q ship of medium tonnage was hit and that hydroplanes, motor vehicles and barracks were damaged.
 Italian planes also bombed Jugo- slav ground equipment and air bases at Divulje and Vodice, "caus- ing serious damage"
 Other Italian planes machine gunned motor columns and horse- drawn supply columns, the com- rnunique said.

 They had strong confidence in tho thus far unengaged British expe' ditionary force and seemed to be. lieve that the JugoSlavs still would have power to fight back against the Germans despite the ripping oi their southern lines.
 British Planes in Action
 The Royal Air Force already hal gone into heavy action, bombing a' German motorized columns and try ing to break the force of their drive across southern Serbia and Mace donla.
 The loss of Macedonia and Salon ika had been written of by thu British before the campaign opened and 1t was apparent that no plani for any long defense of this ares had been made.
 British reports said that Q Ger man column raced into 6alonika a' 4 a. m. today after breaking intt Greece through the Vardar valley of Jugoslavia.
 A Jugoslav source in London re- ported without official confirmation that an entire Nazi mechanical dt' vision had crashed through ntt Skoplje, breaking the main routs of communication between Greec' and Jugoslavia, along the Varda, valley.
 Reports from the Greek fighting front indicated that the German at any hour might turn west ana attack the main Greek and British defense line, running north arls south, west of the vardar river where a crack force of more thar 100000 seasoned British troops I braced for a shock attack.
