ATTORNEY COHEN
 TO PRESS ACTION
City Engages Hartford Lawyer to Recover Funds
 Illegally Spent

The city's civil action against former Controller Daniel J. Leary to recover funds illegally spent dur ing his term of office Is a step nearer a hearing as the board of finance at a meeting last night authorized the appointment of Atty George M. Cohen of Hartford as counsel for the city. The selection was recommended by 8 special com- mittec composed of Orton P. Camp, Thorvald olsen and John s. Mona gan.
 MT. Cohen was engaged by the Good Government association four years ago to investigate the case and file the court action in its behalf. The city later entered the case as Q party plaintiff. However, liens filed against Leary's property by the federal government for in- como tax invasion will take pre- cedence over the city'S attachments.
 The terms of payment approved fer MT. Cohen are as follows: IS per cent of the first $l0O,0Oo col- lected, 10 per cent of the next $5O,- OOO collected, and five per cent of everything in addition to that re- covered. A minimum fee of S7,600 has been requested. A payment of S2,5OO at the start of the work will be paid. A contract will be drawn lip to include the detailed terms. Appropriations for the suit have bene, made in the cltv's budget for the past two years.

''Did I ever tell you," Abel begins invariably and continues with 8 well authenticated" tale about, for instance, the West Coast halibut that swallowed 8 bottle of beer off Seattle and turned up at Fulton fish market here-3, 900 miles away with the bottle still inside.
 And the label of the Seattle brewery still on it," Abel said. Not only that but the bottle was full of beer"
 Abel, who is executive secretary of the fishery council, remarked that 1t was time for him to look up Mike Spano, world-record- holding clam eater.
 Too Much Wine
 ''Mike ate 3Ol for us breaking the old record of 278," Abel reported. Y think he could have done better if he hadn't taken so much red wine between clans in groups of four. And then he admitted that he ate a full dinner topped of by seven hot dogs on his way to the contest. don't think that was fair of Mike. He should be good for $50 clans. He's a pretty slim fellow, only 175. has no protruding stom- ach. He's got seven kids"
 He riffled pictures of rowboats with swordfish shouts through the planklng.
 "Just in case you scoffed," Abel said, there's another thing you might not believe. Brook trout can jump long after they are dead. If you don't believe me, go to hatch cry, buy a few and have the man clean them out, heart and ell. Place the fish on flat surface and use tape measure to judge the height of the leap. It may be as much as six inches.

anglers sometimes break 1t. Floun- ders are white on one side and dark on the other. We found one not long ago that was dark on both sides. Dim-out stuff, eh
 Map Oyster Beds
 Abel said someone ought to tell the fish that Friday is fish day.
 We get most of ours on Mon- day" he added, land through the week Fulton market alone gets about 1000 ,0OO pounds a day, which makes its only rival Billtngsgate in London"
 "The early settlers here could have done well with underwater real estate" Abel said. Our present day oyster operators buy property they never seen and their sub marine estates are mapped out just as carefully as a city block. I wish I had some of the bottom of Long Island Sound myself"
 AS a parting nugget, Abel recalled that fish can drown.

the $25, 100000 building program. There the foundation was laid for the machine that busted Gov. Cross i from public life within few short years In spite of the fact that Gov. Hurley announced in 1940 that the building program was completed, the Department of Public Works re- mains the heart of this machine under the control of MT. George Burke, 8 personal associate of the governor. MT. Burke's deputy is Michael Bannan, the Democratic boss of New Britain. A prominent Democrat recently described this combination as g "B. & B." that has lot of kick.
 Let's be specific. Is 1t fact that Governor Hurley appointed John Mccarthy the chairman of the Dem- ocratic Central committee as Com missioner of Motor Vehicles at 5000 a year? Is 1t a fact that the secre- tary of state at $6,O00 a year plus $.10 8 mile is the active head of the Democratic Federation of Women's clubs? Is 1t fact that their offices at the Capitol are the headquarters for their partisan activities?
 Paying Job
 Is 1t a fact that the vice chairman of the Democratic State Central committee holds public office as pro- bation officer in the New Haven city court? Is 1t fact that Senator Laramee was appointed deputy dairy and food commissioner, a position that did not exist under Commis- sioner Lowell2 Is 1t fact that Leo Reagan, former Democratic mayor of New London who led the anti Cross forces in the 194O Democratic convention was appointed captain in the State Guard with full cap tain's pay and subsistence? Is 1t a fact that the governors publicity di- rector was made a captain in the State Guard and that the executive secretary is supplied with a state car to travel between his home and the Capitol for the first time in History? | I could cite many more cases If time permitted.
 I state again that such conditions never before existed in the Capitol under any administration, and any references to my alleged past won't alter that
 It Is fact that vacancy appoint mentS by the governor to the minor courts have been invariably on a Democratic partisan basisp Neither Gov Baldwin nor Gov. Cross made any such record as that. And let me point out that the last Repub- lican administration in this state was the Baldwin administration and that is the record we stand on.
 Questions and Answers
 Who created State Defense Council long before Pearl Harbor? Who called that Defense Council a publicity stunt? Commissioner Hurley.
 Who created the State Guard2 Governor Baldwin. Commissions were issued then on the recommend ation of & military examining board and the adjutant general.
 Who inaugurated job training in time for it to be effective in the war effort? Governor Baldwin.
 Who instituted the first industrial and material survey of the state which General Arnold described as of immense value to the Armyp Governor Baldwin.
 He never emulated the cuckoo and appropriated the nest of another mans ideas. He created ideas.
 Let's drop hypocrisy. Let's have honest answers to some of these questions. The Republican party can give us the best of our state and only the best can win this war.

 John F. Robinson, formerly of Waterbury, is the target of one of Mir. Allyn charges. The G. o. P. leader asserted that MT. Robinson, executive secretary to Governor Hur- ley, is furnished with a state car to travel to and from his home in Cheshire. He declared that this is "the first time in history" that this has been done.
 MT. Allyn claimed that in appoint ments to state war jobs most of the volunteers without pay seem to be Republicans" while Demo- crats draw down paid jobs. Federal war agency appointments, he said, have been made almost entirely on Q political basis"
 Governor Runs Machine
 Speaking of Governor Hurley, MT. ALLYN said;
 agree that no political machine Is running him. think he is right. But he is running a personal politi- cal machine that would make an old time politician green with envy. Gov. Cross took him from the admins tration of WPA and made him com- missioner of public works to direct

OIL FREEZINC'
 MAY BE EXTENDED
Heatless October Days in Many Homes and Offices
 FOreseen

The "frezeing" of fuel oil, sched- uied to end September IS, may be extended to November l, according to reports reaching local dealers. Sales of fuel oil to consumers were halted last Monday by federal or- der.
 Such an extension would mean heatless days in October for many local homes and business estab- hshmentS unless their heating plants are converted to the use of coal in the meantime.
 The freezing" of fuel oil was or- dered by the government as a means of conserving the supply for the late fail and winter months and to allow the building up of reserves that will then be needed.
 Appointment of a state fuel oil administrator, serving under the ohlcO of the U. s. Petroleum Coo- ordinator, Is expected to be made soon.
