He made the statement last night | through the democratic national | scommittee. Apparently, it marked “the beginning of a democratic fight| <on the republican administration’s conomic policies.

At that time Secretary of fCommerce Lamont and Secretary of “Labor Davis joined with Mr. Hoover | aafter a conferencg at the Whits | House, in a formal statement pre- | "dicting that the worst effects of the | “stock market crash would be over 60 days. “The 60-day period expired vester- | day.” Robinson said, “and the price ©f a number of leading securities and commodities 1s lower than ever ‘and the employment situation is steadlly becoming worse.” Real Estate News I E.

Windsor, May 9 P—George Case, shad fisherman on the Farmington river at Windsor, caught in one haul last night 2,800 shad. This is not only the record for one ha exceeds the total catch of fishermen for an entire season, y vious to three years ago when the shad fishing industry began to re- vive. The shad average tour pounds each and the estimated value of the catch is $1,200. It indicates that the shad industry, which was practical- ly extinct up to three years ago, is returning to the Farmington river, which is a tributary of the Connec- ticut river, and in larger quan than ever before. The return of the industry is un- questionably due to the work by the state fish and game commission which has a shad hatchery at Wind- sor.
