Chancellor Heinrich tarted negotiations with the social- | ists today for the purpose of win- ning their support for the govern- ment program and probably will | maké a similar effort to gain the backing of the fascists.

STORRS PROFESSOR- PARALYSIS VICTIM Wesleyan University Student Also DieS of Same Disease Hartford, Oct. 1 (A—The out- break of infantile paralysis which has taken a toll of five lives in Mid- dletown in the past two weeks, in- cluding that of a Wesleyan univer- sity student, today has spread to a second Connecticut college town, in- creasing the death list‘to six. William Forsythe, assistant pro- the Connecticut Agriculture college at Storrs died yesterday from the dis- case at a Hartford hospital. He {had been ill since Friday. One other infantile paralysis patient is under- going treatment in Hartford while four remain in a Middletown hospi- tal. An exodus of students from Wesleyan was under way today aft- er President James L. McConaughy had announced that any student with the consent of his parents might leave the school for two weeks. Sixty students, about one- tenth of the total registration, had left today with the expectation that more would follow as soon as they gained permission from their par- ents. Osborn MakKes Statement Dr. Stanley H. Osborn, state health commissioner described the paralysis situation at Middletown as a “distinct outbreak.” The case at Storrs, he said, “would indicate that Ahe disease is spreading.” He warn- ed persons in affected areas to avoid mingling with crowds and to avoid close personal contacts with others. He predicted that the disease would die out within two or three weeks. “But what will happen in the next two or three weeks,” he said, “we cannot tell.” Strictest precautions were beinz, maintained at Wesleyan. Paper cups have replaced glasses and mugs at the university store and students have been cautioned to stay away from motion picture houses and other places of assembly.

Shield only $435.90 during | the past year, the company has been | forced to pay out $4,222 in the same | period, Mr. Shietd informed the board of park commissioners at a ng last evening. | because of this situa- | ield was instructed by |his company to cancel the policy. | | He succeeded in having a reconsid- | eration on a different basis and last| evening attended a board meeting to | discuss the new basis. The new rate | requires an advance of from $1.06 to §1.90 1-10 for each $100 on labor, | from 8 cents to 14 /3-10 on office workers and from 56 to 79 3-10 cents on mechanics and trained | workers. He pointed out that a cancella- | tion of the policy and a renewal la- | ter would cost the city more than| acceptance of the policy under the | new rate. ! Mr. Shield said that if the park department continued paying on the policy as it stands under the old rate and did not have another claim for 10 years, the insurance company still would suffer a loss, so great has been the loss during the past year.

Lasch, clerk of the board. If a con- | venient place can be found the mat- | ter will be given further considera- tion. William ' F.
