cent if their colonies. Reasons for this as given by MT. Zappe are that the winter was not as severe as the preceding one and the quality of winter stores was better. Possibly beekeepers gave their bees more protection and more food after the heavy losses of 1943.
 American foul brood increased slightly during 1914 For the entire state 3 per cent of the colonies were diseased as compared to 25 per cent in l943. Hartford County ShoYed the largest rise in occur renee of American foul brood-2 per cent. Fairfield and New Haven counties still have the highest per centage of foul brood and Holland and Windham counties the lowest.
 All diseased colonies were burned by the inspectors or the owners. One colony of European foul brood was found in Fairfield County and two colonies infected with 8acbrood were discovered--onc in Hartford and one in MiddleseX county.

Weather Puts Bee"
 On Bee Population
State EntOmOOgist Explains Cause of Decline; 1894
 Fewer Apiaries Lost in Connecticut

New Haven, Conn, Feb 1--Con- necticuts bee population dropped off slightly during the past year, according to M. P. Zappe, deputy state entomologist at the Connecti- cut Agricultural Experiment Sta tion. In l944, 2,461 apiaries were in- spected in the state, l94 less than last year, with 6 total of 12,36O col onies, decrease of 2543 from last year
 MT. zappe believes that the de- crease may be accounted for by the large losses Of bees due to winter kill during l943 which have not been made up by normal increases The severe winter of 1943 coupled with the sugar shortage which caused people to rob the bees Of their winter store of honey resulted in an extremely high percentage of bee losses that year Almost 8 per cent of Connecticut's bees failed to survive the winter of l943
 Winter mortality of bees was much less during l944. This year the bee-keepers lost only 5.44 per

.30-Hour-Week Plan
Raped by Ramspeok
As 'Impracticab|e'
By JOSEPH YOUNG.

Legislation to establish a 30-hour
week for Government employees re-
ceived a setback today when Chair
man Ramspeck OF the House Civil
Service Committe termed the pro-
posal ''impracticable" and expressed
the view that the measure didn't
have chance of passage.
The bill introduced by Senator
McCarran, Democrat, of Nevada
would reduce the Federal work week
in order to spread out" Govern
ment employment and cushion the
shock of reconversion unemploy-
ment.
The Georgia legislator, who also
is Democratic whip in the HOUSE,
said the present flve-day, 40-hour
week under which most Government
employees work is IAN ideal setup for
them, and I don't think that it can
be improved Certainly not at the
present time"
Others Support Ramspeck.
Other members of the House Civil
Service Committee expressed views
similar to Mr.. Ramspeck's All ex-
pressed doubt that legislation of this
sort would even be introduced in the
House.
Some expressed the view that a
30-hour Government work week
would probably mean that private
industry would have to follow suit
And, neither the Government mol
private industry is ready for 30
hour week" one member said.
! A few expressed the opinion that
the 30-hour week might become q
reality in 10 years time for both
Government and industry, but that
discussion of it proved premature.
Downey Is Sympathetic"
I Over on the Senate side. Chair.
man Downey of the Senate Civil
Service Committee has said he was
sympathetic" toward the bill:
intent and has invited Senator Nc.
Carran to appear before the com
mittee.
However, Senator Byrd, Democrat
of Virginia, leader of the economic
bloc in Congress. has termed the
measure unfeasible and renewed hi!
demand that 100000 of the 5000.
600 Government employees be dis.
missed
