Governor Baldwin who received the entire program yesterday has promised to refer 1t to the State Legislative Council for study.
 Heading the recommendation are five specific proposals which Mir. Robbins and his organization be- lieve, will if adopted, do much to prevent future racial discrimination in the state.
 T he specific recommendation dealing with this subject matter are:
 1. Recognition of the Jewish War Veterans equally with other veteran organizations on committees con- cerning questions of rehabilitation, unemployment, etc."
 2. "Enactmen t of state legisla- ton similar to the Federal Fair Employment Practice Act" On this point, MT. Robbins, in his report to the Governor, states that the Fed eisl Government due to this act is able to minimize discrimination in employment because of religion, color or origin. But we feel" MT. Robbins said, that after the war (when there is no manpower prob. lem) all bars will be down and 1t Is imperative that we have enforceable legislation to avoid discrimination in the postwar period. It will be shameful If returned veterans are refused employment because of their race, religion or origin"
 To Study Anti-Semltism
 3. "A commission should be ap. pointed to study anti-Semitism and ell other causes of hatred and big otry." MT. Robbins explained that a similar commission Is studying this problem in New York and that when It's report is in legislation may be adopted to correct any defects seen.
 1. "A good will commission should be created to promote good will among all faiths and classes" Mir Robbins said that similar commis. sions as he recommends are work ing now in New Jersey and other

"As a result of the conference in my office Thursday, regarding the ramified problem of the gambling if- terests in the Hartford area, 1t was suggesed that e ranking offic- erd of the Hartford Police Depart ment be assigned to coordinate a program of vigorous enforcement of the gambling laws.
