Union, Bakers
 Plan Farley

Efforts to slave off threatened strike against the Continental and General Baking Companys Water bury divisions were being continued today by the State Board of Media ton and Arbitration. The Rev. Jo- seph F. Donnelly, acting chairman Of the board, has scheduled a con- ference with union leaders at Hart ford tomorrow.
 The bakery employees are repre- sented by Local 1855, Bakery and Confectionery Workers of America A.FL. In the event of strike, h. ternational Representative Robert E. Hart says the local has been as- sured the support of Continental and General employees in eight other New England cities.
 Thomas F. Brennan, president of the Central Labor Union. said to- day he has sought, as a private citizen, to have both concerns set tie their differences with the union rather than allow a strike. Innocent people, he said, would be the vic- tins of the bread shortage resulting from a strike
 The union seeks from Continental and General the same contract terms granted by the Raymond Bak- ing Company. These include a wage increase of 1872 cents an hour, five cents an hour differential for night work, and establishment of Christ mas as holiday.

Institutional Care Costs
  State More

Costs of maintaining patients and inmates of state institutions have risen sharply during the past several years and all indications are that these will continue going up for some time to come.
 The increased costs are due, state officials say, to the increase in the general cost of living that is affecting all householders. Food, clothing and supply costs are gen. orally up and increased costs of labor and manpoWer to staff the institutions have all contributed to raising the per capita costs for each individual taken care of.
 Although the increase in per capi- ta costs is in itself a major item. the overall increase in the costs of operation of all of the state insti- tutions, whose populations gener- ally are on the increase, reaches great proportions.
 The latest complete per capita costs figures available for compar- ison are those of the year 1944-45 and in almost every state institut- tiOn increases are shown over sim liar figures for 1940-41.
 Tubercular Care Rises Most
 The cost of maintaining and car. ing for tubercular patients in the states various tuberculosis sani- torla have registered the sharpest rises during the war years. For example, the average weekly costs per patient in 1940 at Cedarcrest Sanitarium, Newington, was SPAS, while in 1945 it had risen to S33.44.
 Cost of maintaining inmates of the Connecticut State Prison at Wethersfield also has risen sub stantially, from s11.15 in 1940 to S14.46 week in 1945.
 A comparison of weekly per ca- pita costs for other state institu- tions between 194O and 1945 fig ures follows:
 Mystic Oral School, s13.4l to Sf534; Connecticut State Hospital at Middletown, s704 to S812; Nor wieh State Hospital s749 to S9.05; Laurel Heights Sanitarium, S2211 lO SIO.il, oedSlQe od1lLdTlQln, s1914 to s2299; Uneas- Thames. Sanitarium. s25.64 to s2999; Un- dercliff Sanitariu um, s23.92 to s32.l9; Veterans Home, s16.95 to S26.9l; Mansfield State Training School, S788 to S9.92; State Farm for Women, s15.25 to s2O.58; Con- neetieut Reformatory. s1695 to S23.68; Connecticut School or Boys, s15.00 to S2l.56;; and Long Lane School, s2326 to s27.36.
 According to official records of the state only two of the states institutions shoVed reductions in per capita costs during the five years under consideration These were Fairfield State Hospital in which weekly Der capita costs dropped from s850 in 1940 to S7 40 in l945 and the Southbury Training Sc heol whose costs dropped from s1524 in l94l to sll.62 in 1945

Hartford, Aug 6-t P1-Poliee Chief Michael J. Godfrey said to- day he was convinced that Mrs. Ger trude Landers of Wyandotte, Mich, was wrong in her Identification of photograph of d victim of the July 1914 circus fire here as that of her six-year-old granddaughter, Sher- ron Lang.
 He said that We are hot going to take any action on the claim" and that other members of the Police Department who conferred with him in reviewing the evidence had reached the same conclusion
 The girl whom Mrs. Landers claimed to be her granddaughter buried along with six other uniden- tified fire victims, is known in the records only as Little Miss 1865"
 Chief Godfrey said he believed that in the hysteria which followed the fire there might have been a mistaken Identification of the bodies of some of the victims by frantic relative, which would account for the body of Little Miss 1865" re- maining unclaimed.

|ArmyCorovon Adds Rabbits
 To Exhibition

A new feature attraction has been added to the Army Ground Forces Caravan showing in the State Armory tonight for the last time. Unfortunately, the exhibit will not be shown in this city, Maj. Darrel Costello, commanding officer of the caravan, said today.
 Added to the million dollars worth of Army war equipment are six baby rabbits. The rabbits were caught by some men from the cara van at the American Brass Com pany parking lot where the shows vehicles are stationed.
 The rabbits are about two weeks old at present. and are still too small to put on display special cage is being built for them, and they will probably be put on exs hibition at Providence when the caravan moves there Thursday.
 Fed Milk
 When first caught five days ago. the rabbits were fed milk through an eye dropper. They still drink milk, but are now capable of drink ing it directly from pan. The rabbits have already started to eat, the Major disclosed. Fresh peaches are their speciality, he said. but they also eat carrots and lettuce the same as any normal rabbit
 Since the rabbits are travelling with G.I.'s. they quickly learned that milk is not the only thing to drink The rabbits are definitely not teetotallers. They like to drink beer as well as any member of the caravan.
 Voltz, the K-9 attached to the caravan, has adopted the rabbits. He carefully licks them whenever he comes around to check on their welfare. The big difficulty at present is the Voltz is so large and the rabbits so small Everytime he licks one of them. he pushes it about foot across the floor
 Final Showing
 Tonight'S final showing will open at and close at 10 according to the regular schedule. Last night the largest crowd ever to visit the car avan in any one showing gathered at the Armory. About 2l 1000 attend- ed the display according to Major Costello. He stated that he had never seen as large a crowd in any city.
 Last nights attendance brought the total in the city to 43,O00 About 10000 viewed the caravan opening night. and 120O0 Saturday night. Major Costello stated that he did not believe the crowd would set any new record tonight, as it usually taperS off for the final showing
