 PROGRAM EXPANDS

 Campaign in State

Commercial vehicles are going to be included in Connecticut's Brake Emphasis project currently Spon- sored by the Connecticut Chiefs of Police Association to eliminate de- fective motor vehicles from opera tion on public ways because Of &C., cident hazards.
 State Police Commissioner Ed ward J. Hickey has informed the Highway Safety Commission that he and Project Coordinator John M. Gleason, Greenwich Police Chief are developing plans for a state wide coverage of commercial traf- fic during May, based on early re- turns from the checkup on passen- ger cars since April 18th.
 Chief Gleason, supervising the Connecticut activity, states that Carl R. Lane, executive director of the Connecticut Automotive Trades Association, has informed him that an initial survey of Connecticut automotive service business indi- cateS an unusual demand for brake adjustments, inspired, according to MT. Lane, by the publicity attend ant upon the Connecticut Police campaign to inspect brakes on passenger cars.
 Now states Chief Gleason, "the need for this inspection has become so evident that Commissioner Hic- key and plan to propose to the next meeting of the Connecticut Police Chiefs that the project be extended to commercial vehicles. We believe that 10 per cent of the cars inspected will be fouEd with defective brakes. Commercial ve- hicles should not show the same poor condition but we propose to see for ourselves"

Cotton Mill Strike Ends

Holyoke, Mass, April 18.-UP)- More than 100 employees of the D Macintosh & Sons cotton mill re- turned to work today after a siX-day strike in protest against the com pany's alleged failure to grant a WLB- B-prescribed pay rise.
 The strikers agreed to return after a meeting yesterday of com pany and union representatives with Anna Weinstock, regional concilia- tor of the national board of con- ciliation who will present the certi- fled case to the WLB tomorrow.
 The dispute reportedly arose from the company'S failure to pay a five cent an hour wage increase called for in their contract with the Textile Workers of America (CIO).
 Meanwhile, the workers were cri- tlcized by It. Donald Macintosh Jr., 29-year-old part owner of the mill and holder of the Silver Star medal, who said that neither l nor 5000 0O0 other boys over there have any sympathy for you"

Bus Drivers Refuse Work

Melrose, Mass, April 18.-(UP)- Some 250 AFL bus drivers and me- ehanics have refused to end their strike until they are paid for the time lost during the walkout.
 Protesting a company vacation plan, the workers struck early yes- terday, leaving about 10000 com- mrters stranded in IA communities on the Melrose- Woburn and Lynn divisions of the eastern Massachu- sets Street Railway Go.

 Jesse A. Levin, president of Local 2O4, Amalgamated Association ot Street, Electric Railway and Motor Coach Employees of America (AFL) contended the strike was the com pany's fault and, therefore, the strikers were entitled to payment fol time lost.
 However, General Manager Fred A. Cummings of the company saic such payments would be illegal.
 Meanwhile, Chairman Cole or. dered union officials to appear be- fore him to explain why the strike was not terminated when the mair issue was settled.

The complaint, which will be nled in superior court for the return day on May l, states the plaintiff was injured April 18, 1922, while mov- ing a railroad track tie. Employed as a laborer by the raidroad com- pany, he was carrying one end of the tie, weighing more than 15O pounds and was preceded by two other employees who held the tie forward with the aid of tongs, when the accident occurred, the writ states
 Describing the accident, the com plaint states the two workers per- mitted the end of the tie to strike a rail which protruded five inches above the ground and as a result the end the plaintiff was holding was pushed against him and into his abdomen and groin.
 Various internal injuries were sustained by the plaintiff who re- mained at the Waterbury hospital for more than II months, it is pointed out. A hernia and intes- tinal injuries are among those listed. The complaint states the plaintiff was totally disabled and perma- nently incapacitated.

It also is al- legged the foreman of the concern ordered the plaintiff to carry the tie manually without tongs or an other appliance and without sufi- cient help when the tie was water soaked and extremely heavy.
 The court writ also points out that the earth was rough, uneven and hilly, and that the two em- ployes at the front end failed tt keep a proper lookout for the pro. truding rail
 Permission to bring the sui against the corporation was granted in the U. s. district court, April Papers in connection with the sui have been served by Deputy Sher if Albert Francis. It is pointed ou the plaintiffs employment and worl were in interstate commerce.

At the present session of Con- necticut Assembly, Representative Stanley Stroffolino introduced Sub stitute for House Bills 592 and 593.
 It was advocated at a public hearing by Felix Blanc, executive secretary of the Connecticut State Board of Pharmacy Commissioners. The purpose of the bill under the smoke screen of shortages of phar- macists is to allow assistant phar- macists who have not completed the prescribed course of college train ing to take the examination for the registered pharmacists license.
 Since the hearing the storm of protest has risen from the Connec- ticut State Medical Society, the Connecticut Association for the Ad- vancement of Professional Phar- macy, and many of the states city and county health departments who have vehemently disapproved this bill to lower standards of Phar- macy in Connecticut.
 The National Boards of Colleges of Pharmacy, the National Associa- tion of Retail Druggist, the Ameri- can Pharmaceutical Association have urged the defeat of this bill in order to prevent the return of Quiz Schools which are Substandaro and bring to mind the return oi the threat of a Diploma Mills. Qulz Schools with black and white ques- tions and answers from memory o1 state board examinations cannot re- place careful scientifically regulat- ed curriculum and correct labora- tory attendance such as has beer prescribed by the American Coun' cil on Education which is the typt of education offered at the Uni cersity of Connecticut College o Pharmacy since it organization 1T 1925.
 With the advent of so many changes in medical armentariun such as the chemotherapeuti' agents, the sulfonamideS and nev antibiotics such as Penicillin, th' physician and patient both are en titled to insist that their pharma cist have the proper educationa background to safeguard health ant at the same time make availabl the latest pharmaceutical scientifl

Nurse Bill
 Given Okoy

Washington, Feb. 20. (UP)-The house military affairs committee to- day approved a bnl to draft un- married graduate nurses from 19 to AS years of age.
 It will be the first proposal to draft women to reach the house. Congress repeatedly in the past has displayed reluctance to conscript women.
 While the measure now applies only to unmarried nurses, it would not affect enlistment of married nurses.
 Committee approval came after three weeks of hearings in response to President Roosevelt's request last January for a nurse draft. He said the Army and Navy had to have 20,- GOO more nurses at once.
 The manpoWer commissions pro- curement and assignment division would be authorized by the bill to order deferment of any woman iD essential civilian nursing service.
 Veterans Administration nurses would be eligible for deferment. Graduates of the federally- financed Cadet Nurse corps, on the other hand, could be deferred only on grounds of dependency, family re- lationship or physical disability.
 No non-Cadet graduate nurse could be drafted until all qualified and inductable Cadet graduates reg istered with the same board had been taken.
 A nurse registered with state or territorial nurses board, or one who has been graduated from a nursing school and is eligible for registration, would be considered qualified for induction. The fact that a nurse was trained in a small hospital would not be disqualified tion.

EPIDEMIC HITS
 NEW ARRIVALS
I0 JamaiCans Listed as Patients; Suffering
 With "Mumps"

Certainly not within the category of the tenets of our Good Neigh bor" policy, affecting natives oi other countries, is the fact that 19 Jamaicans working in the big three" war plants of Waterbury have the humps. The majority are confined to their barracks in Meri- den with five confined to Plantsville. Two arc in the New Haven hospital, one of whom was severely i'll at the outset
 Dr. Edward J. Godfrey stated to- day that he could not be too opti- mistic as to the welfare of the re- maining Jamaicans as 1t is likely they to owill come down with the illness.
 This group of persons has high susceptibility to the illness" Dr. Godfrey declared, because they ap- parently come from a region where humps do not prevail. They have not built up the childhood resistance common in this country where humps appear SO frequently"
 They have the same suSceptibil- ity to chickenpox, for the same req sons," he added.
 The health officer did not mini- mize the extent of the illness how ever, inasmuch as he pointed out the fact thta great deal of intense suffering is incurred when the ill., ness strikes an adult, which is not necessarily so when a child is so afflicted.
