 The bill has been introduced be- fore Congress in the form of the Wagner-Murray-Din bill and has met with equally strong op- position and support.

 Taking Comedy to London mu0lUes Props Problems

T think we'll be able to get a kitchen sink in LoNdon," the pro- ducer said. "We1l have to take over the costumes and fabrics to cover the furniture, which will be picked up there. We're having devil of a job cutting down our single set to fit our London stage. We have a set that runs 34 feet, but our Lon- don stage has room only for a set 28 feet long. We've had to cut the length of the bed to 41s feet. A couple more inches and we'd have had to cast the play with midgets. The scenery, of course, will be built in London"
 To Board Ship in August
 De Liagre is going to get himself and wife, MT. and Mrs. Gotten, Miss Sullavan and her husband, Leland Heyward, author Van Druten and (probably) Miss Tannehill aboard a ship the middle of August for the trip. The cast will rehearSe en route, after two weeks of New York re- hearsals, and should be about ready to function upon arrival. Liverpool and Manchester will be played for two weeks and then comes London, Sept. Is. Miss Sullivan and Gotten will play there only three months and then come home. If the play is the hit it has been in this country for almost 21s years, English re- placements will take over.
 Van Druten will be returning to h. native England for the first time as an American citizen. Miss Sulla- van and Gotten have never appeared in England.
 The stars will just about break even on the deal" De Liagre said. Their salaries will be subject to double taxation and only someone in the high income brackets could afford to go, Prestige and fun are about all they can expect to gain"

Settlement Made tn SeveraL CiUiL Suits
Highway Commissioners Cox Defendant In Two Actions; Fatal Mishap in Middlebury Revived by Litigation

Two civil actions against State Highway Commissioner William J, Cox, one involving highway fatal ity and the other an assessment ap- peal, and two other suits were with drawn from the Superior Court docket today.
 The fatality action was brought by Alice Dillane, as administrator of the estate of James H. Dillane of Waterbury who was fatally injured November 9, 1889 in an unusual acc cident on Whittemore Road near Hop Brook in Middlebury. The accident victims car struck an abutment of the Hop Brook bridge, as he tried to pass the car in front of him, operated by Charles A. Maybey.
 Negligent Indication
 It was alleged by the plaintiff that the commissioner abused his duty by permitting the highway in front of the bridge to be laid out so that it was three feet wider on each side than the bridge. It was alleged fur ther that the higway was marked to indicate that a driver could pass other cars just before the bridge. It was dark, misty, and foggy at the time of the accident, the court writ stated. The suit was brought against Cox as an individual.
 Damages of $15,0O0 had been sought. Settlement terms were not disclosed.
 In the other suit Cox was named defendant as state highway com- missioner by the Congregational So- ciety of Naugatuck and the estate of Harry s. HotchkIsS of Naugatuck, as the result of an assessment of dam ages due to widening of the Naug- atuck-Beacon Falls Road.
 The plaintiffs claimed an asseSs- ment of $6,000 damages was inade- quate.
 Bus Line Suit yDrOpped

 New York, May 6-(UP)-If you think you have food problems, lis- ten to the one that confronts Alfred De Liagre, Jr. He has an egg worry.
 De Liagre is the theatrical pro- ducer who is going to take little thing called "The Voice of the Tur- tie" to London. The action and props in the play are on the realis- tic side and there is one spot where scrambled eggs are made. 7
 Even if he could get the eggs in London, you can imagine the indig- nation that would sweep audiences watching actors wasting eggs simply for the sake of a plot" he said. Why, they'd run us right out of the theater. We can't use powdered eggs because the breaking and beat- ing up of the eggs dovetail with the dialogue. I'll probably use some kind of simulated article made out of plastic, with orange marmalade or something similar inside to repre- sent the yolk. And we'll have Co see that the audiences understand we're not using real eggs, because they won't be able to detect the fraud with their eyes,"
 Other Problems Appear
 This is only one of De Liagre's many problems connected with transporting the John Van Druten comedy and its three players, Mar garet Sullavan, Joseph Gotten and probably Frances Tannehill, to Eng land in August, He has to take along an egg beater. electric toaster, frigidaire, a double boiler, percola- tor, electric stove, thermos bottle and garbage pail-all of which &C., tually function in the play because even If England has such things by that time they won't be available for such a non-essential thing as a play.

Funk Claims
 Britons Left Poland Alone

Nuremberg, May 6-(UP) Walter Funk, former Nazi minister of econ- omy, complained before the War Crimes Court today that Britain did nothing whatever to influence Po- land toward handing over the Polish Corridor and Danzig to Ger many.
 Funk, continuing his testimony, concluded that the Britons wanted war since they stood idly by and "did nothing to work soothingly on Poland so that the German dream of uniting the Corridor and Danzig with Germany could be realized" {"
 He said he and the German peo- pie had been convinced that Brit ain would exert diplomatic pressure on Poland to cede the Corridor and Danzig to Germany in order to avoid war.
 T realize now,' he said, from the testimony here, that the British government secretly wanted war be- tween Germany and Poland on the theory that the generals then would stage putsch and oust the fuehr- er."
 Funk denied that he took any part in planning an aggressive war. He contended he was entirely an economist, and never was called into political and military discus sions before the war"
 He said he had thought it was possible to avoid war. He referred to negotiations in the Summer of 1889 with foreign representatives in an effort to bring about a better economic order and improve com- mercial arrangements between Ger many and foreign nations" He said thes negotiations were hailed every where, particularly in England.

Rabbi Tells Of Problem In Palestine
 Declares Jewish
 People Ready
 To Fight

Rabbi s. M. Zambrowsky, nation al secretary of the Mizrachi Zionist organization, discussed the Anglo American Commissions report on Palestine at a breakfast meeting of the Beth Israel Mems Club in the vestry rooms of the synagogue yes terday morning.
 Rabbi Zambrowsky told club men- bers that the Jewish people will carry on the fight until Palestine becomes a Jewish state. He said that they will accept the commission's report only as far as the admit tance of 100000 Jews to the country is concerned, adding that they will oppose the suggestion that Palestine shall not become a Jewish state. Rabbi ZambrowSky said that this was contrary to the Balfour De- claration.
 The rabbi added that the Jewish people will reject the recommenda- tion for government supervision of Jewish education. He also stated that he was confident that the American people and government would see that the Jews receive their just demands.
 Thanking Rabbi Zambrowsky for his address, Rabbi Seymour Gewirtz assured him that the Jewish com munity in Waterbury stands firmly behind the desire for a Jewish com monwealth in Palestine.
 A report on the progress of the Jewish Federated Appeal was given by Louis Franken, chairman of the solicitations committee for the drive Murray L. Grossman, president of the Mems Club, presided at the meeting. He announced the next meeting of the executive board will be held Tuesday at 9 p. m. at the Beth Israel Synagogue.

|PedeStEion Fatalities Show Drop
 April May Set New AII.Time
 Record in State

The lowest monthly pedestrian fatality experience in the statistical history of the Department of Motor Vehicles was recorded last month, according to William M. Greene, director of the Highway Safety Commission, who reports that only two cases have been charged against April.
 If none of the pedestrians in- jured during the month die and so add to the total", continues MT. Greene's statement, "the April, 1946, total of two cases will set new low monthly record for Con- necticut. The lowest monthly total so far was three cases in April, 1922. In fact, over the years there are very few months when ped- fatality totals are restricted to one figure"
 Strictly interpreted, MT. Greene added, the Connecticut ped-fatality experience for April should be but one case, a 70-year-old man hit and killed in New Haven on April 2 while crossing Forbes Avenue late in the evening.
 The questionable case was a driver changing a tire on the Mer- ritt Parkway in New Canaan. This man, according to report, was work ing on the side of the car towards traffic. As the vehicle was not parked entirely off the parkway as required by regulation passing car struck and killed him while at work. Strictly speaking, according to MT. Greene, this is not a pedes- trian accident.
 However, as the man was not driving the car at the time, no other classification can be used than pedestrian" Connecticut came as close as it probably ever will again, concluded Mir Greene. to achieving what might have been a nationwide record by passing an entire month without pedestrian being killed.
