FORBIRTH CONTROL Female Lagislaiors Also In Favor o Jury Service Hartford, Feb, 23 (UP)—A poll completed today among the women in.the Connecticut general assembly shows that feminine legislators: fav- or birth control by a vowe of 13 to ¢ and jury service for women by 9 to 6.. In the cass of the latter bl four were undecided. Two women ‘Wwere uncertain about pirth control legisiation and two could mot be reached, . The birth centrol bill, which wi be hesrd by the judiciary commit- tee, calls for repeal -of the present statute prohibiting dissemination of birth centrel information or use of contraceptives. The jury. service. measure would make women liable to serve under the same qualifications as men, The two bills are regarded as the most important bills in which the ‘women of the state are vitally in- terested, now before the assembly. ‘The poll on birth control was as followa: For—8en, Mary B, Weaver, Rep- resentatives Corinne R. Alsop, Jo- sephine E. Bryant, Marjory Cheney, Helen E. Lewis, Julia M, Emery, Alice W. Russ, Georgina B.

Against — Representatives Platl, Buckingham, Russ, Coe, Maxwell, Undecided—Representatives Neve fus, Wilford, Bryant, Sutcliffe, Mrs. Russ, of Shelton, former re- publican national committeewoman, said regarding birth control: “The bill merely lcgalizes what Is being done every day in Connecti- cut.” Mrs, Weaver, the only woman in the upper house, declared; “It's only a question of time before both hills are passed, so we might as well do it now.” Miss Maher of New Haven favor- ed jury service for her sex, but re- garding birth control sald; “An far as birth control is concerned, they had better leave the law alone.” Mrs, Helen Lewis of Stratford, chairman of the house education committee asserted: “If T am to support my constitu- ents, I will have to go on record as favoring birth control. I have re- ceived letrally stacks of letters urg- ing repeal of the present law. They increase daily.” Entrance of the Protestant churches in the fight for repeal of the atatute places the bill before the cdmmittee in a different light this yere, it'is believed. “I will oppose jury service because T believe moat of the women in the state do not want the bill,” Mrs. Russ declared. Whether either bill will come out of committee cannot be foreseen at this time, but with the support of the women, both are assured a fair chance, i WOMAN'S BLAZING CORPSE IS FOUND (Continued from Firat Page) not seen it, said he had sccn a coupe rarked in Kenilworth Boulevard, near Springfield avenue, a short dis- tance from the spot where the body was found.
