Hartford, Aug. 3.—A series of con- ferences of state officials regarding the jitney situation will precede any possible attempt to eliminate the ob- solete public service markers from the roads of Connecticut under any state law other than that against which Federal Judge Thomas’ injunc- tion is directed. Commissioner Rob- bins B. Stoeckel of the motor vehicle department said today that he wished it understood that there was to be no conflict between the state offi- cials and the federal court on the matter. “We have the greatest respect for the %court,” said Mr. Stoeckel, “and we want to respect Judge Thomas’ injunction in spirit as well as to the letter. Even though my department is not named in the writ, we feel that we are bound by indirection. The only thing we want to find out now i how far we are limited by the in- junction. I don’t say we are going to act at all but if we do it will only be when We are sure that our action will not in any way violate the spirit of the injunction.” Mr. Stoeckel said that he expected to go into conference with other state officials today with Superintend- ent Hurley of the state police de- partment anyway and possibly with Attorney Gen. Healy, if that seemed the proper thing to do. Asked whether he expected to talk the mat- ter over with Judge Thomas Mr. Stoeckel said, ‘“‘we hardly think it will be necessary. However, we might do so if it seemed the proper and necessary thing to do.” The text of the telegram which Commissioner Stoeckel sent to the police officials throughout the state on Tuesday: “In accordance with injunction is- sued by Judge Thomas please with- hold enforcemem. public service law Letter following.” (Signed). “ROBBINS B. STOECKEL.” According to Mr. Stoeckel the “let- ter following,” will not be written until the department is more certain than it is at present just what its limitations under the injunctign are. The commissioner will then be able, he believes, to issue supplementary instructions to police and enforce- ment officials. Mr. Stoeckel said to- day that he could not tell when the department’s policy with 'regard to the “PS” marker will be decided. NEW BRITAIN MoST IGNORANT IN CONN.

Reports and figures issued by the Bureau of Census department of com- merce, showing - the illiteracy of tha country by states and cities, showa New Britain, unfortunately, far iz tho lead in tha state of Connecticut.. Av- eraged with the other large cities of the state acording to population, thid city showed a greater number of per- sons within ita limits who are classed as illiterate than did any of the other cities within the state’s boundaries. New Britain with a government registered population of 59,316, shows a total of 4,226 persons illiterate; Waterbury with 91,416, has 5,426 per- sons rated that way;.Hartford with 138,036 has, the smallest average for the state when it reports 5,662 illit- erates; New Haven, with tha largest population, 162,390 also shows tha largest number of persons, 8,046 il- literate; Bridgeport with 148,152 pop- ulation 7,743. Thus New Haven, with a three times larger population has not twice as many illiterates as New Britain,’and Hartford with over twice the number of residents as this city, has but a few more in that con- dition than New Britain itself. Wat- erbury comes next to New Britain foy a high percentage, but its average is low in. comparison with the Hard- ware city. ‘Figures Are Starthing.

Thus the definition’s terms makes it apply that New Britain, out of almost 60,000 people, has well over 4,000 who can not writa in any lan- guage of the present known world tongues.
