News Of
Connecticut

Hartford, Conn, May 5. Up
Among i've New England cities Of
comparable size, Hartford had the
highest crime record during the past
six years. It was disclsed today IN
report Of the governmental re-
search institute.
There were q, 2O5 reported offenses
In the city through 1888 and 1913,
whereas there were 1920 at New
Haven: 14,164 ct Bridgeport; 12,6O6
at Providence, r. l., ana 1O,O32 at
Springfield, aMss. ~.
Hartford led in every criminal
category except thefts under $50,
according to the report which listed
murders, robbies, aggravated as
saults, burglaries, thefts under and
over $50 and automobile stealing.
The greatest increase was In burg"
laries.
Hartford, Conn, May 5-(UP)@"
The legislative council was engaged
TODAY in drafting q preliminary re-
port to the governor on the Agenda
Of the special session OF the gen.
eral assembly which Gov. Baldwin
said he would summon during the
first week in June to complete ac-'
ton on q soldier ballot bill, and set
up speed limits on the states high-
ways.
The special session, the second
this year, will last two days, the
governor estimated, and will amend
a ballot law passed in January SO
the federal absentee ballots may be.
used In the November elections. !
The legislative council favored
leaving It up to the state traffic
commission to establish speed limits
by zones. The present law calls fol-.
reasonable" speeds on highways
and the recent dismissal by the su-,
perior court Of several speeding,
cases brought out the need Of def
mite limits to remove uncertainties
as to what would be regarded Is
reasonable" travel speed. Z.
Gov. Baldwin said he could set
the date for converting the special
session when he obtained the coun-.
ellis report.

show in which direction the Re

sisted that unless it went in the
direction toward which he himself
pointed, the COP would be defeat

1t was obvious in Wisconsin there
was much hostility toward Mr.. Will
kie and also to the views he ex-
pressed, despite the fact he drew
large crowds at his meetings.
He had the support of some of the
Progressives, as in Dane County
Madison, where the Capital Times
edited by William T. Evjue, lead
ing Progressive, supported him. In
deed, Mr.. Willkie had strong news
paper support in Wisconsin, with
the Milwaukee Journal and the She

for him. But the Progressives, if
they went extensively into the
Republican primary, divided their
votes, and certainly did not give
Mr.. Willkie great support.

By the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, April 5.-John Brandt,
president of the National Co-opera-
tive Milk Producers Federation, told
the concluding session of a Repub-
lican Farm Plank Committee confer
ence yesterday that the Nation must
adopt postwar policies assuring high
levels of wages, prices and profits If
it is to prevent collapse under the
national debt.
An annual national income of at
least $150,000, 100000 will be neces-
sary, he said, if the debt is to be re-
tired and prosperous conditions
maintained.
"This means high levels of prices
wages and profits" he said. INC
other healthy way is left for us to
go. 1t therefore behooves all po-
litical parties to give heed this year
to program that will insure enough
surplus earnings for all groups te
pay off with dispatch the public
debt.
Buying Power Called Vital.
"In that program the basic star
should be in maintaining the pur.
chasing power of agriculture.

Democrats Reported
Facing Clio Demand
On Campaign Probers
by the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
CIO resentment against legislators
who voted for the Smith -Connally
antistrike bill was reported today
to have put Senate administration
leaders on something of a spot.
While Republican leaders an
nounced their two appointees to the
Senate Political Campaign Investi-
eating Committee, which will police
expenditures in the presidential and
senatorial elections, the Democrats
were said to have been confronted
by a CTO demand that they pass
over any member who voted for
the Smith -Connally measure.
In the circumstances this would
leave them with relatively small
field to choose from.
Ball, Butler COP Choices.
The Republican choices are Sem
ators Ball of Minnesota, who voted
for the legislation, but against over
riding President Roosevelt's veto of
1t, and Butler of Nebraska, who was
not recorded on either vote.
The Smith -Connally measure, en-
acted over the Presidents veto, pro-
hibits labor unions from political &C
tivity and requires them to make
annual financial reports to the
Treasury. Since its passage the
CIO has set up a separate Political
Action Committee.
While the Senate directed Vice
President Wallace to name the per-
sonnel of the five-member investi-
eating committee, it is usual in such
cases for him to follow recommend
ations of the majority and minority
leaders.
Majority Leader Barkley dis
claimed any knowledge of the CIO
protest, but another influential
Democrat said it might complicate
the selection of the three remaining
members.
BY custom, Senators who are run
ming for reelection or whose COL
leagues are running are barred from
appointment to the Campaign In
vestigating Committee, as we'll as
those who are members of political
committees set up to aid in the re-
election of their party colleagues.
Twelve Democrats Available.
This leaves IL Democrats avail
able, of whom voted for the Smith
Connally measure.
The IL Democrats are Senators
Bilbo, Mississippi; Byrd and Glass,
Virginia; Chavez, New Mexico; Con-
molly and ODaniel, Texas; Green
and Gerry, Rhode Island; Stewart
and Mcclellan, Tennessee, and
Murray and Wheeler, Montana. Of
these, only Senators Green, Murray
and Wheeler voted against the Con-
nally bill. Senator Glass, i'll for
months, was not recorded.
Selection of the Campaign Com
mittee ordinarily is made with great
care by administration leaders, since
that group often has been called
on to inquire into charges that have
national, as well as local, reper-
cussionS.
