News Of
Connecticut

Hartford, Conn, Nov. 23.-(UP)-
A state sales tax on milk, to finance
a subsidy for Connecticut producers,
was reported today to be under con-
sideration by the legislative council,
with the possibility it would be in
cluded in the deliberations of the
SPECIAL session of the general assem-
bly, in January.
The proposal came as surprise
in view of the opposition of dairy
men to any subsidy plan. However,
the matter was not to be placed
formally before the council until af-
ter a conference of state and fed
eral officials relative to the milk
situation.
Gov. Baldwin has supported the
plea of dairymen for an outright
increase of two cents a quart, but
the OPA has rejected the PROPOSE
ton as not in keeping with the
Presidents hold the line" order.
Some dairy interests pointed to
the sales tax imposed at Denver,
Colo, which was upheld by the fed
eral court, and which is still being
opposed by the OPA. In view Of the
fact the OPA Is endeavoring to ap-
peal the courts decision, the Con-
necticut legislature, and the council,
might Sdestep the tax as too con-
troversial, it was reported.
The council holds its next meet
ing December 2.
Meantime, milk dealers have dis
tributed $4,000 leaflets put out by
the state war councils nutrition
committee, appealing to household
ers to share the milk" during the
current shortage.

put up 10S,628 One-gallOn tins of
assorted vegetables during the
summer and fall. the first year of
its operation, it was announced
today by State Purchasing Super.
visor Edward c. Geissler.
Because of adverse planting and
and growing conditions, said Gels
sler, the output fell below esti-
mates. He expected that through
installation of additional equip
ment, the cannery would be able
to can about 100000 gallons next
year.
Most of the produce preserved
this year, he said, was grown at
state institutional farms. although
the state bought up some sur
plus crops to make up its require
ments for the winter and spring.
