"HARTFORD. April l—Forecast-
ing. the annual fight on pollution in
the-Legislature, the hearing before
the Judiciary committee here yes-
terday indicated that that body will
have to settle whether municipali-
,ties shall or shall not be excluded
in the measure to be favorably re-
ported upon.
"For the first time in the long. bit-
ter-light. fisheries interests. the man-
ufacturers the State Chamber of
Commerce and the State Depart-
ment of Health agreed on the fund-
amental necessity that conditions in
Connecticut waters must be reme-
died. The difference now is one of
how the problems will be solved.
The issue raised by the manufac-
turing interests. and supported by
some of the fisheries men and the
State Chamber of Commerce, is that
nothing can be accomplished in the
Way of cleaning up the waters un-
less the municipalities. claimed to
be- responsible for nine-tenths of
the contamination with domestic
waste. are made liable under the

u'... Representative Charles ii.
Wheeler of Stratford. a shell fish-.
sries man, argued that any bill af-
fecting towns and cities will be de-
feated in the Legislature. and that
his bill should be passed. as the
only one offering a sun in the
right direction.

Cites Oyster Experl in.
Wheeler. in rebuttal. cited the re-
sult of-experiments made by the
Government at his opster plant in
Stratford. indicating that industrial
affluents containing a high percent-
age of acids caused perfectly grown
oysters to turn green. making them
unsaleable. The experiments are a
matter of record. he said.
"Two wrongs don't make a right."
Wheeler reminded the committee,
saying that he doubted that any
beneficial result came by reason of
trade waste reacting upon domestic
sewerage.
John \V. Titcomb of Hartford.
superintendent of the State Fish
and Game commission. who expres-
sed the belief that the fisheries in-
dustry might revive if pollution is
eliminated. urged Wheeler's bill.
Representative Marjory Cheney of
Manchester. also spoke for the
“'heeier measure.
Attorney Wells. counsel for the
Slate Manufacturers' association.
pointed out that the fisheries in-
dustry employee 432 persons. as
compared to 315.000 engaged in

He analyzed the arguments gener-

there are four classes of polluters.

“'ASHINGTON. April 3.—Wayne
B. Whegeler. high mogul of the na—
tion's dry forces. gave prohibition
enforcement a black eye yesterday
after a conference with President
Coolidge at the White House.
\VheeIOr asserted that 6,000,009
gallons of industrial alcohol enough
to make 240,000.000 half pints of
{Q per cent synthetic gin—were
being diverted annually into the
bootleg trade. He laid the blame
for the "leaks" on the Internal Rev-
enue collectors in charge of the a]-
cohol.
The anti-saloon league counsel had
called to endorse the new plan {or
supervision of prohibition enforce-
ment. under appointed assistant sec-
rotary ot the treasury. Ho told the
President that an extension of the
supervision over other agencies en-
gaged in dry enforcement would
i "l to more rigid enforcement. He
said:
'in most of the country prohibi—
riion is well enforced. In about one-
siderable violation. It could be bet-
ter enforced if we had officers who
were in sympathy with enforce-
ment.” .
