Sen. Patrick Wallace was one of the proponents of the tobacco bill prohibiting children under IA from working on tobacco farms which employ more than Is or more hands The bill provides that children of that age will be permitted to work only on those farms owned by their parents, relatives or guardians.
 Sen. Wallace speaking on the floor Saturday declared that it was shameful that such law even had to be put in but as long as it was apparent that it did he support it.
 Imagine having to make a law, in our modern times, to protect chil- dren, 8. g and 10 years old" the local senator said.
 The bill originally had the sup port of the entire labor committee but was defeated in the house by the strong farm bloc which advo- cates permitting children of the age mentioned to work on any tobacco farm. The bill was passed in the senate on Saturday and now will go back to the house.
 Sen. Wallace complimented Miss Edna Purtell of the labor depart ment for her work in gathering facts and statistics in opposition to the farm block proposal that the children under IA be permitted to work on any farm, Miss Purtell re- ceived the acclaim of the entire sen ate and was asked to rise and re- ceive public applause from the circle members and the gallery.
 Tt is plain greed on the part of the members of this bloc" Sen. Wallace said, which blinds them to the immoral side of hiring chil- dren under 14 years of age for such work. They talk of having proper supervision but the facts prove that that supervision has been far from satisfactory
 The local senator raised laugh among the senators. embellished by some scattered applause when he said.

Legislative News
(NEA Telephoto)

T realize we are busy here today trying to wind up this session. Therefore I won't say anymore about this bill at this time because if do I not only will be going forever but I will say lot of things that will burn many ears"
 Similar support was given by Sen. Vincent P. Kiernan D-Derby) and by Senate Leader Leon Ris- Cassi (D-Hartford.
 The judgeship and minor court situations are now deadlocked and will not move unless overtureS are made by either side. If it lands with the governor some Republicans are fearful the chief executive will abide by his earlier promise to di- vide as equally as possible all the jobs among the Democrats and Re- publicanS and the latter will be worse off. Some COP adherents are urging giving it to the governor and thus making him tell the Re- publican office-holders back in the small towns they must drop out for replacement by the Democrats. The Republican form ula for naming Republican and Democrat juage and deputy or two judges in the towns and cities so constructed fell through because the Democrats recognized it as promising too much danger for them. For example, they declare, if the bipartisan appointee Cjudge and deputy) couldn't decide on the disposition of the minor post jobs they would then have to decide that those in office now would remain.
 Since those are now all Repub- licans the Democrats would be out.
 The hold-up on the state budget actually is being fostered in great part by Sen. Ris-Cassi who person. ally is out after the Connecticut Development Commission now seek ing about $500 900 more in it's bud get. RisCaSsi wants a department of commerce and abolishment of the CDC.

WEATHER HAMPERS VICTORY GARDENS
U. of C. Vegetable Special ist Gives Instructions to
 Offset Excessive Rain

The cold rainy weather that has disgusted home gardeners this spring has retarded the germiAa- ton of many seeds, particularly the warm weather crops such as sweet corn and beans. Tomato and pep per plants are likewise marking time and will make little growth until the soil becomes warmer
 There is othing we can do about the weather. says A. E. Wilkinson, vegetable specialist Of the Aericul- tural Extension Service, University of Connecticut but We can do something about a situation the weather has created. Many gar dens need more fertilizer to replace plant food. particularly nitrogen, that has washed out of the soil or else carried too deep for the plant roots to reach
 Nitrogen is the element most cas- lily lost by washing. It can be re- placed ill the form of nitrate of soda, sulphate of ammonia, poultry manure. sheep manure, or some other nitrogen carrier An appli- cation of a handful of nitrate Of soda, or from three to five hand fuls of poultry or sheep manure, per 9 feet of row should be suffi- Cient.
 Home gardeners may also dis cover, as Prof. Wilkinson did in his own garden. that the constant raln- fall has packed the soil. Ii should be loosened with a hand cultivator or with a hoe.
 Prof. Wilkinson reminds the home gardener to remember next winters food supply when planting this spring. Be sure. he says, to plant enough beans, peas. greens. carrots and tomatoes for canning, freezing or storage to fit the tam- ilys winter food neeoS.

 At the same time, Lublin quoted an article from the newspaper Zycie WarszaWy demanding that all Ger mans not working at rebuilding Poland be expelled from the coun- try.
 There is no room at all in Pol and for any German who is not en- gagged in work the paper said. All Germans must leave our country, not only for our good but also for their own good. This applies to en- tire Polish territory including newly liberated western territories"
 tThe Prague radio announced two days ago the opening of an offen- sive to drive all Germans from Czechoslovak territory
 Another Lublin broadcast an- nounced that the first airline abroad from poland soon would connect Warsaw and Moscow.

 Bird Haven Here Hunks

The Fish and Wildlife Service here yesterday afternoon was bit taken back to discover a previously un- recognized addition to it's list of wild life refuges in Alaska. Also quite unusual-this particu- lar refuge was staked out by the wildlife, net by officials in Wash ingtcn, D. c. The birds and beasties in this case birds--finally had something to say in the matter.
 The refuge in question was creat- ed by a specimen of migratory waterfowl a mallard duck = and quite in keeping, the F&WL Ser vices migratory seaplane hangar was the site selected
 Torn loose in Juneau's october gale, the hangar was at that time halted in it's course across Gastineau Channel and since has been tenn pcrarily tied up during repairs to it's mooring in the Small Boat Har- bor here.
 HeSterday, F&WL employees were going about the business of return | ing hangar to it's regular location in the Boat Harbor Agent Jim Caldwell undertook to secure a set of seaplane bleaching gear from roll ing about inside the hangar
 Just as he stopped to upend one f.F xrr,nn1c r cd crippled greenhead One wing apparently broken, the bird dashed to the edge of the float and dived into the Channel-nor was it seen again
 Cross off one bird refuge.
