(Continued from Page D Destined to enter the Senate
 for vote on Tesday this week,
 the bill was delayed at the printers and only squeezed
 through the upper chamber at deadline time for the days ad- jONrnment. The House adjourn ed earlier in the day and did not receive the measure then. On Wednesday it was fully ex- pected that the House would ap- prove the measure. However, it was deliberately held up by Republican members who attempted to use 1t as collateral for insuring the pas sage of the P.-sponSored wage increase bill for State employees. This delayed its passage until yes- terday at $50 P. M.
 Corporation Counsel Maurice T. Healey and Special Counsel William B. Fitzgerald were at
 The Capitol during every day of
 sessions this week until the Waterbury bill was passed yes-
 terday. Although assured by
 COP. House members that the
 bill had 8 healthy destiny
 awaiting it in the House, it was
 delayed time after time. They
 left immediately after its pas
 age.
 Hartford, May 18.-UP)-The special session of the General As sembly adjourned at Ill A. M. to- day after a series of compromises paved the way for passage of all bills on the agenda and settlement of several other issues which were injected at the last minute.
 Adjournment was delayed
 several hours by a deadlock
 over the state aeanplOyeS' wage
 increase bill, with the Demo-
 cratic Senate insisting that
 the actural raises be written
 into the bill and the ReplIbi-
 can House demanding that the
 matter be left to the State
 Personnel Committee. A cOm-
 promise finally was affected by
 conference committee which
 provides that the pay raises be
 governed by the Governor and
 the DemOcrat-cOntrOlled fi-
 nance Advisory Committee.
 Previously, the Governor stated
 that the increases would be
 $24O for those receiving less
 than 5000.
 Fears that the death of Comp troller John M. Dove smight cause prolongation of the session be- cause of a squabble over his suc- cessor were dispelled after party leaders agreed to give the post to Deputy Comptroller Rayond S. Thatcher of East Hampton. Each House passed resolution naming Thatcher to the $6OOO-a-year post. AS deputy he received $8,6OO.

Many are the conjectureS as to
 his successor in the state govern ment. It hasn't been mentioned much, but certainly his deputy, Raymond Thatcher, might be in line to succeed him in office. Then again Gov. Raymond E. Baldwin might seek to avoid political roper cussions by naming an official along the type of Senator Hart. When 1t came to naming a successor to the late Senator Francis T. Maloney the governor refused to abide by the wishes of political leaders or parties and chose 8 middle f-the- road course, naming somebody whose connections with Connecti- cut politics were certainly never marked by strong outward convic- tions. Whether he will do the same in this instance may depend, too, on the outcome of the special Legis- lative session, which has not been distinguished by any marks of statesmanship on the part of either side.

It was . shock to pick up the Thursday papers and learn that State Controller John Dove had died the day before. Certainly his funeral this afternoon in DanielsOn, as far away as it Is from the rest of the state, will be a magnificent testimonial to the respect and admiration that he won during his comparatively brief public career. Both as an officer of the state government and as head of the Democratic Party in Connecticut he proved himself . capable, conscientious, and likeable person. He was we'll known wherever he went and cer- tainly no one could ever find fault with his attempts to consolidate all factions of the party within the state.

Politics
 h Passing

There's . report afoot that Nau- eatuck,s able Warden, Leo Brophy, is interested in the Democratic domination for Congress in the Fifth District. This is further in- dicationA that the Democratic or- ganization in the borough is deter- mined that 1t is going to secure recognition in the 1946 conventions. It's very definite that a determined effort will be made to land the shrievalty nomination for Deputy Sheriff 'Dan" Callahan and now the ru1nor that Warden Brophy is possibly awaiting an opportune time to make his bid for honors makes t plain Naugatuck is in the run ming. By the same token there is increasing evidence of interest on the part of Ansonia Democrats in pushing their mayor, Thomas J. Nelligan, for the congressional nomination, which would give Rep. Edward c. Clancy a free road to seek the mayoralty nomination, presuming, of course, Mayor Nelh- gan was successful all around.

Waterbury should sit up and take notice of BridgepOrt's master plan for postwar construction. It's $37, ,OOO, 900 expenditure plan, calling every type of public pro- ject imaginable. In some respects it's like Waterbury'S, but in others it's quite different. For example Bridgeport recognizes the need of . modern and adequate City Hall, So provides $1,565, 900 for an H. story structure to replace the present one. which houses only few of the various civic de- partmentS. A municipal shopper garage and bus terminal iB an interesting item in the Bridge port plan, marked to cost $75O, 900. Bridgeport, likewise, has air de- signs, the airport being set down to cost $1,15O,OO to get into shape, while $35O,OOO more would be spent on a freight terminal. Sewage disposal and control, control. port and dock facilities, schools, and other public build fngS are also provided for in the ambitious program.
 Another month should see some action in the local political arena. While neither Democrats nor Re- publicans will be picking their dele- Eates as early this year as they did n 1944 and lS42 there probably si1 he an eagerness on the part [ both siAes to get going. as they

Well, If the Republicans aren't going to give the state such sell out performance as Gov Baldwin wing with Rep. Glare Boothe Luce for the senatorial nomination, at least it has a member who is not loath to stand back and wait for this feature attraction. Former Rep. William J. Miller of Wethersfleld has formally announced his candi- dacy for the senatorial nomination of the COP. ticket. It came before the National Chairman of the Re- publican Party, B. Carroll Reece had had his chance to say that the nation needed men like Gov Bald win in the United States Senate. He also implied that the party needed candidates like the governor if it was to be successful in gaining control of Congress at this falls election. And Mrs. Luce still refuses to declare herself as anything but legislator preparing to vacate the field of action, the while stating that the party hasn't got a better candidate than Gov. Baldwin for the senatorial nomination. And so goes the battle of declining nom nations!

It's dOsibtful if Albert O. MalSel, writer for Life. ever imagined he would upset the ordinary prOced- ure of legislative body when he did such . stirring article for the abOve-named magazine entitled sBedlam-1496." There's no doubt but what MT. Maisel touched off the fuse on an explosion in Con- necticut circles by mentioning in his expose of mental hospital conditions that all was not right with our own intitutiOns. How far this state OffendS in such eases few laymen know or prob ably ever will know. But the fact remains that there have been happenings for 3 good many years which indicate that Connecticut cannot be regarded as 8 model state in it's operation of hospitals, homes, etc. for the more unfOr- tunate ones in this land. Gov. Wilbur l.. Cross tried to make more room at the hospitals and to mOdernize facilities. But there's more to it than that as events have since proved, both in Con- necticut and without this state. The problem is a vital one and certainly the Legislature is in order in recognizing such prob lem and taking steps to investi- gate and to correct.
