Norwich Hospital Trustees Assert

Probers Partisan

Niagara Scenery by Jack Frost, Inc.

Deny Charges by Guber­natorial Commission; Praise Superintendent And Other Officials Attacked in Report;

iFiinds Lack Is Blamed.

I No More Hunting Days For Oklahoma Convicts

Hartford, Jan. 9.—OP)—The fnisteca of the Norwich State Hospital denied today charges by a gubernatorial coraralaalon, aa- aorting that in many reapecta the commiaaion'a report on an Investi­gation of the institution seemed "partisan and unfair.”

The Investigating oommlaalon, ,ap|>olnted by Governor Baldwin and headed by Dr. Creighton karker of New Haven, charged fast November that the quality of 'medical care given 3,000 insane persona at the hospital waa "be­low the necessary standard’’ and "questioned” whether the super­intendent, Dr. Chester A. Watei^ man, was “personally equipped” for his post.

Trustees Praise WatermBn Jhc trustees praised Dr. Water­

man, and asserted that whatever hadn’t been done at the institution resulted from the failure of the General Assembly to make suffi­cient appnoprtationa.

Of Dr. Waterman, the trustees said:

"He is an able superintendent and has shown remarkably fine strategy and leadership. The hos­pital has Improved materially un­der his guidance."

’The trustees also termed the superintendent a man of "superior talent and ability” and said that in their opinion be possessed “the necessary qualifications, compe­tency and abUlty to do our work.”

In addition to Dr. Waterman, the trustees came to the defense of the business manager, James J. Moore, and the clinical director. Dr. Charles Rlcksher. both of whom also had been criticized by the Barker (3ommlzalon.

The reply to the inveatlgaUng commission, made public by Gov­ernor Baldwin, asserted that in ao far as the law permitted tbe trustees had done ’’all that la hu­manly poaslble” to provide the hosplUI with “good management for patients' benefit.

“We cannpt apend the money unless it be appropriated to ul by tbe Legislature,” the trustees con­tinued. “No more could a State Department of Mental Health.”

The Barker Commission bad criticized tbe system under which each aUte inaUtutton was manag­ed by a separate board of trusteea, and suggested consolidating th< management under a state de­partment.

OrtUclani Not OwnaaeThe criticism of the trustee sys­

tem, ths reply aeserted, waa not germane to the Investigation and applied aiso to the other state hoe- pltaia.

"W e cannot enqtloy noora doC' tore or nuraea. nor pay higher I f thsn our appropriationspermit,” the trusteee said. "A ll conetructlon and repair work is within tba juriadietkm at the Pub­lic Works Department. A ll pur­chasing la don* for us chiefly torougn tb* Btata purchasing agent. We must employ, so far as the competitive claselfled aervlc* is concenied, only those certified to US through the merit system.”

" It Is only on the sea,” he aald, "that the war rinay be mid to be in full operation.”

Tbe prime minister, speaking In a voice choked with emotion, de­clared that the Brltlsh-French al­liance sbould become permanent in tbe Interests of “peaceful re­construction” after the war is over.

For 55 minutes, Britain’s war leader reviewed the progress of the hostilities to date la an ad- drem at the lord mayor’s luncheon at Maulon House. It w u Cham- berlaln's first public appearance o f the new year, a year which he ■aid would be a fateful one in tbe taistofy of the world.

Washington, Jan. 9.—<47—Rep­resentative Cavagan (D., N. Y.) announced to the House today that he would move "at i he proper time" to eliminate from his antl-Iynchtng bill a provlaion exempting violence in connection with laoor disputes.

He stated this Intention st the start of debate on tho measure, which would Impose penalties on peace officers who permit lynchings and on the political subdivisions In which they occur.

The provision which Qavagan ■aid he would attempt to strike out uys:

** ‘Lynching’ shall not be deemed to Include violence occurring dur­ing the course of picketing or boy­cotting or sny Incident In connec­tion with sny 'Isbor dispute’ * • •"

Gsvsgsn probably wUI offer his motion when the bill la opened to amendment tomorrow.

Only llaadfol Present Only s handful oi the leglslstora

were present when the House con­vened an hour early (s t 11 s. m., e. s. t.) In an effort to complete Six hours of debate by nightfall.

RepreaentsUva Wadsworth (R., N. Y .). one of the few northern op­ponents of the bill, told his col­leagues It could never be enforced. As ths opposition’s first speaker, Wadsworth w u greeted by ap­plause from southern members.

,|te brended the hill "a snare and a deluclon." A far better solu­tion o f the lynching problem, he as­serted, to the program o f eduretkm already undsi^sn.

He pointed out Uie country had 100 or more lynchings annually Just a few yu rs ago. In 1939, bs said, there were only thrre.

The debate on tbe uU-lynching blU w u npected to avail nothing more th u to put tbe participants on record for pirilUcal use.

Arrangements will ba In the hands of a committee yet to ba appciinted, with the rec­ommendation that it bo held the Arst week' In June. It was also decided to conduct the annual May plant sale, which Is thr sole meth­od of raising funds, In addition to dues. The meeting was of the opinion that Instead of the regu­lar June seoslon, a Hatiirday af­ternoon outing to some particular garden or garden# not yet vlalted would be enjoyed by the members.

President Buckley suggested for the February meeting at the Y.M. C.A. that’ the members be pre­pared to tell of tlielr plans and to bring their seed catalogues. Two surprise numbers will ba furnished by the program committee.

Set Tentative l>nt«It was voted to have a public

meeting with nii out of town speaker In April, tentative date of Monday, April 8, when other gar­den cluba would alao be Invited.

Mrs. P. L,. Davis, chairman of the program committee then Intro­duced Chester Martin of the t;on- nectlcut Btate Forest (.’ommlsslon, who gave an interesting and In­formative llliuitrated talk on the 20 forest preserves for rar.reatioii In different parts of the state, seven of them In IJtchAeld eoiinty. Connecticut was the Aral state In New Kngland to thus provide by legislation healthful outdoor recre­ation facilities-for its people. Mr. Martin described the method of acquiring this forest area of 60,000 acres by purchase or by gift as In the case of the American I^eglon and People's Forests which ad­join each other In Barkbamatead. He showed excellent views of hik­ing trails, picnic spots and areas for hunting and Ashing in these parks and praised the excellent roads and bridges built by the C.C.C. hoys. The boys had also been a great factor In forest work and In Aghting Ares.

Rxhibita Pine Needles The speaker exhibited various

kinds of pine and explained how they might be IdentlAed. For In­stance, white pine needles are in bunches of Avr on the stem while red haa two needles. Ha also showed choke berry, bitter sweet

{ and other berries of tha forests,{ and explained that nuts, berries or I wild Aowers may be gathered ex­cept for market. Two nights may be spent In any state forest In Connecticut without a permit. The forests are for the ium and enjoy­ment of the people.

Referring to gifts of land for forest purposes, one large manu­facturer who gave generously said he believed It was a good social project, for while he might go to the Adlrondacks or any place he preferred to hunt or Ash, hla em­ployees couldn’t do so, and he pro­posed to do hla bit to give them the op|H>rtunlty to spend as much time as they cared to In a readily accosslble forest.

Mr.'"Martin told a number of humorous stories and answered questions dunng and after his In­formal talk. He was given s hearty vote of thanks at the clu.se.

\fii8t Study More On Bridge Site

New I>mdon, Jsn. 9. (/V|--Thcresults of a recently completed survey of traffic over the Thames river bridge between this city and Groton have served to reveal that a change In plans for the propo.sed new bridge to be necessary, the New Dondon-Groton Bridge Com­mission announced following a meeting yesterday afternoon with Federal and state highway offi­cials at the Mohican hotel here. Heretofore, Col. W. Rllery Allyn, .secretary of the commlwilon, stat­ed, the rommisaton and Btate Highway Department had been proceeding on the theory that the new bridge would be used mostly by through traffic, but the survey has shown that more than half of the traffic over the present bridge Is local.

Thia means that additional study of a logical alte for the pro­posed structure will have to be made, because. Colonel Allyn said, it Is deslrecl to locate the bridge where It will b« moat convenient to those who will use It most.

(OontlnuM from Fnga Una)

Finland, reported to Ifr . Hoover that more than 800,000 civilians alrsady have been made hometeas In the invaded area “and the num­ber of refugees Is growing every day.’’ He predicted that if the in­crease continued at the same pace, there aoon would be over 900,000

Seraons needing aid, according to Ir. Hoover.rinnlah Minister to the U. B.

Hjalmar J. Procope, in reporting to Mr. Hoover that civilian dls- trees la on the Increase "due to the severity of the weather,’’ aald that the Civilian Ralief Committee appointed by Premier Rlsto Ryti to cooperate with the Fund la “working night and day to move non-combatants from the attacked area to naw places of refuge In the western section of the country." This task, be aald, has been com­plicated by the bitter cold.

Food, Clothing Problema One of the greatest problems

faced to date, the Minister said, has bssn to provide adequate food and clothing for the thousands~be- ing evacuated.

Amplifying his plea for funds becaiUM of the Increasing urgency i of the situation, Mr. Hoover said, I "Finland's braadvflnnera are at i the front or working for the army-1 —one out of eleven of the whole people have been called to arms.! Our representative in Finland re- | ports that 800,000 of those left at home are destitute already, and that destitution Is Increasing to­ward 900,000. Under ceaselaas aerial attacks the women, children and ‘aged men have been driven from the towns Into the country­side In the midst of Arctic winter.

“There are many demands upon the American people from our own destitute and for the pressing needs of others abroad,” the form­er president continued, “and we do not wish sny contributions to Fin­land to leasen support for the dis­tressed either at home or abroad.

“But I vision the role of Amer­ica In this war Is to save life, to lighten the burden of suffering, to build peace. Out of our reserves we can and must And aid for th<.«ir destitute and we must lighten the despslr of those who are defend­ing their freedom from aggression.

.\merican Hympathy “ Ws In America can assure the

Finnish men Aghting on the front' that their women and children will be protected from hunger and cold. That Is an expreaslon of American sympathy and support which we can make real. And It la an ex­pression of the heart of America.

Finnish Minister Procope as­sured Mr. Hoover that the Finnish people “are deeply grateful for the splendid way In which America has responded in our hour of need”

“ Few in America will ever rea­lize," he said, "the great good that the $400.()0() of American money already sent to help my people has done. Not only has It provided food, riothtng and shelter—It has boosted the morale immeasurably. Words are Inadequate to expreas our real thanks."

New Haven, Jan. 9— (FI— nation can only become richer, the enriching of the indlvldul Paul Cornell, head of the Romfor School In Washington, Conn., and an active Republican, told those attending the School of Politics of the New Haven Woman's Republi­can Association.

“We cannot make the nation richer by making It poorer,” he said at the school meeting last night. " I doubt If this aUtement can be challenged, because of Ita basic validity. We have got to make the individual richer In or­der to make the nation richer. W j are living oft the fat of the land f the fat of the land In the form defleita."

Both Cornell and Mias Katherine Byrne, Republican national com- mltteewoman. warned that the Republican party be "not sold short by Its supporters."

Roosevelt Ghat Lauds Independent Thinking

Leaves Question of Fu> ture Plans Up in Air; Remarks Interpreted Variously by Leaders.Washington, Jan. 9—(/Pj- Presi­

dent Roosevelt’s “plate-side chat” to Jackson Dmy diners, lauding in­dependent poUtlcal thinking and joshing everyone from Republicans to himself, brought cheers and laughter— but left unanswered to­day the question of hts future plans.

Democratic leaders who heard the chief executive make a Jovial and philosophical talk at last night's $100-a-plate celebration in­terpreted his remarks variously aa an Indirect bid for a third term, aa a valedictory, or merely as a tudled effort to "keep ’em guess-IS "’ '7 Most of the party bigwigs laugh- Sgly agreed with Mr. Roosevelt’s

own comment, however, that he was a "se lf-m ^e riddle” and pre­dicted that the riddle would go un­solved for weeks or months.

Even though the president failed i to allude to the third term Issue. I Secretary Wallace, speaking In Des Moines, said flatly that he hoped the."nominee In 1940 would be President Roosevelt.” And at Cleveland Robert H. Jackson, new- came virtually as close to advocat­

in g a third term.Frivolity Dinner Ke)iiote

Frivolity was the keynote of the dinner here, and Mr. Roosevelt was in a story-telling mood. But his speech had some serious momenta.

Taking as his theme "by their motives may ye know them," he told hts hearers in Washington and at 44 other dinners that It was not so much the party to which a lead­er belonged, but the deeds he per­formed in the Interest of the gen­eral welfare that counted.

"People tell me,” he went on, "that I hold to party ties less tena(ilouaIy than most of my pred­ecessors In the presidency, that I have too many people In my ad­ministration who are not active party Democrats.

" I admit the soft Impeachment. My answer is that I do believe In party organization, but only In proportion to its proper place in government.”

Independent Vote IncreasingThe future, he asserted, lies with

those wise political leaders “who realize that the great public Is In­terested more in government than In politics; that the Independent vote In this country has l)een steadily on the Increase.

"The growing independence of voters, after all, haa been proved by the votes in every presidential election since my childhood—and the tendency is on the increase. I am too modest, of course, to refer to the most recent example— the election of 1936.

"Party regulars who want to win must hold their alllea and sup­porters among those Independent voters—and don’t let us forget it.”

Again putting "motives” above political ties, the president said Alexander Hamilton, Jefferson, Lincoln, and Jackson were all heroes to him because they "did a Job which had to be done."

Motive le lAliat OonnU "Motive In the long rim la what

coimto— motive accompanied by good manners,” he said. “ I f leaders have good motivee and good man­ners Mid. at the same time, knowl- e d ^ of the different parts of the country and plenty of experience, you can be fairly safe in aosuming that they won't wreck your govern­ment.”

Those In the audience who were looking for clues about Mr. Roose- velt's psUtlcal thoughU consider­ed that sentence a poealble recipe for a Democratic presidential can­didate. Even though he did not discuss the approaching campaign directly, he Included In his salu- Utlon to the 1,100 gtiesU:

president, expressed good-natured wonderment aa to why Senators McNary and Austin snd Represen­tative MsrUn, Republican leaders, bad not accepted free iavlUtlons to the dlnnsr.

"Why didn’t our guests come?" Mr. Roosevelt asked soleinaly. “1 guess the reel reason Is that, like the small boy. they didn't want to go to llsavsn wtth this bunch."

Tha praMdent rscslvsd his great­est ap^ u as when hs dsdaied:

"Most at .tboss who complain now wsra ttm shouting optimists of 1929.

outside this bemisphera "Is in really bad shape.

“The second," be continued, "U that we have made great gain at home in our own economic pros­perity and in the security of our individual clUzena. These gains must not be chipped away^ they must be only a foundation on which to build further gains."

Looking into ths new decade, Mr. Roosevelt declared:

"Behind us lies accompllabed a really big Job. It was the crea­tion out of the funk—the pure un- adultered funk—of the early thir­ties of a new spirit with which we can now face the forties.”

That paragraph led one senator to say that the speech eounded like a valedictory. But Senator Byrnes (D „ S. C.) replied:

"That wasn't any valedictory. Didn't you hear the president say he was having ‘A lot of fun In this Job’ ?’’

San Francisco, Jan. 9.—UP— John B. Adama, a Romeo with a court order Intended to restrain his prospective mother-in-law from blocking hla romance, vowed today he would marry hia Juliet if he bad to appeal to the Supreme court.

Adams, S2-year-oId collection agency executive, asserted In seek­ing a habeas corpus writ that his Intended bride, Isabel Deshler, 24; i was kept from him against her will by her mother, Mrs. Louise Desh- : ler. I

Superior Judge Lyle T. Jacks de- ' elded the Superior court should de­termine If Cupid were being Illegal­ly thwarted, so he ordered Mrs. Deshler to bring her daughter be­fore him Friday for a hearing.

"Isabel woula marry me in a minute if ehe could get her raoth- er’’e consent," said Adams. “ And I'm going to marry her if I have to go to the Supreme court to do It.”

Hears Fiancee Out Of TownHe said he had pounded on the

Deshler door and telephoned In- ceasantly since Thursday, but his only luck was the statement from Isabel's sister, Louise, that his fiancee bad left town.

I don’t believe tt,” sold Adams, who added hla Idea for the court action came from the similar caae in New York Involving George Lowther and the former Eileen Herrick. They were married last week.

The Deshler side of the dispute waa a bit clouded. Mrs. Deshler answered the door when Interviews were iwugbt and called !>}ulse. Louise summoned Brother W il­liam, who said he knew nothing of the matter except that Isabel was not home. Nobody called Isabel and neither did she appear.

ago he and Isabel tried to elope, but she stopped to telephone her mother, who became hysterical, so they postponed the event 24 hours. When he telephoned the next night, Adama related, Mrs. Deshler told him her daughter had changed her mind, and since then he has had an aching heart and no fiancee.

He declared Isabel was bis sten­ographer until Mrs. Deshler found about their engagement, after which the young woman quit.

" I ’ve been married and divorced —that was in 1936 after a one- year try, and maybe that's why Mrs. Deshler doesn’t like me," said Adams. "Or maybe It’s because I am eight years older than Isabel."

Process servers reported their first attempts to serve Mrs. Desh­ler with papers in the court action were fruitless because of a slam­med front door, but they hoped for better success today.

Makes Speedy Trip to Coast

Miflfi Annie Swift on Visit to Sinter; De- Acrihes ExperienceA.Mias Annie M. Swift of 843 Main

street, well known local butlneas woman, returned yesterday after spending the holidays with her sis­ter. .Miss Nellie Swift, formerly of this town, who has been living In California for the past two yeara. Ml.ss swift made the flying trip to the coast and return on the "Chal­lenger." which ahe said was a "magnificent" train. Leaving here Sunday, and Chicago at 10 o'clock Monday night, December 18, she arrived In Pasadena Thursday morning at 8 o'clock, and spent every available moment In sight­seeing. In the days preceding ChrUlmas, Los Angeles stores and restaurants were thronged with shoppers. Miss Swift praises the food, the flowers and the music In the cafes. An Interesting excur­sion was made through Alvares street. Into the Mexican section of the great city, where are the old­est buildings and where all sorts of Mexican handicraft and curios are offered for sale.

Visits Observatory Another trip was made to the

oluKTvatory on Mount Wilson, which is 8000 feet above the sea level and covered with snow. Tha view of the valley below and the clouda was beautiful. A few minutes' walk and the weather was so warm they had to remove wrapa. The birda, squirrels and deer on the surrounding grounds were tame and ao uaed to people they ate put of their handa.

Mlaa Swift was especially Im­pressed with the markets, both country and metropolitan and the variety, qiiallly and reasonable prices of the fruits. The boxed candled fruits for the holld^s were especially attractive. The decorations for Christmas sur- paaaed anything the Manchester visitor bad ever seen.

Illuminated Trees In Altadena she saw the world-

famous Illuminated Christmas trees, hundreds of deodars or ever­greens brought from the slopes of the Himalaya Mountains In Asia, and lllumtnsteil for the first time In 1920 through the cITorta of the KIwanIs club. Another sight that thrilled was acres upon acres of red polnsettlas, single and doubla, also pink and white and a new yel­low variety which Is being culti­vated extensively.

Forest Lswn Park Miss Swift was particularly In­

terested Id Forest Lawn park and the "Wee Kirk o' tbs HMthsr'' and the cemetery where the coun­try's theatrical great have been Interred, the most recent Douglas Fairbanks. Sr. She viewed the art masterpieces In the Huntington Art Gallery at San Marino, but perhaps the most gorgeous sight of sll was the 1940 Tournament of Roses Parade on New Year's dsy In Pasadena, witnessed by more than a million people. More than GO elaborate fioats, covered with millions of roses at.a cost to con­struct of thousands of dollara, en­tered by surrounding towrna, and miles long, was an unforgettable siK-( tarle.

Hint on State Campaign Line

DemocraU to Deny Re* publicans* Claim on BusinesA **Boom**.New Hsvefi, Jan. 8.— Oon-

nscUeut's 1040 Jackson Day din- nsr left observers today with the Impression that the Democratic state campaign, now only a few months away, will be centered around a vigorous denial of the Republican claim that the "friend­ly” attitude Of the eUte govern­ment toward business has caused tha alleviation of unemployment and an Industrial "boom."

Important figures In the state party fold' more than 800 Demo­crats at the dinner here last night that President Roosevelt's national administration was directly respon­sible for better business condltlon-s all over the country.

That keynote of the party's most Important annual rally was sounded by both U. 8. Senator Fronds T. Maloney of Meriden and .State Chairman J. Francis Smith of Waterbury. Other speakers at the *29-a-plate affair were former Gov. Wilbur L. Cross and National Committeeman David E. FitzGer­ald. both of New Haven.

Smith charged also that Repub­licans were soliciting funds from wealthy fieraons of the state who sought to protect themselves against a possible stste income tax.

Contradicts Friendly AttitudeMaloney, contradicting the Re

publicans' "friendly sttitude” claim, asserted that "action by the Federal government and the brighter national outlot* have ac­celerated business.

"A i long as I can remember," he said, "nil administrations in Connecticut have been friendly to buelness."

Former Governor Cros.H, in laud­ing Preeldent Roosevelt, said that "hie motlvee have been dlsrepre- sented for partisan purposes which In the long run must fall. That his whole career may be laid bare. President Rooeevell's papers, pri­vate and public, mllltone of them are to be brought together under one roof where any citizen of the irnited States mey Inspect them. President Harding's private pa­pers. It U said, have mostly If not entirely disappeared. President Roosevelt has nothing he wishes to conceal."

FitzGerald declared that "time can erase the place President Roosevelt holds in the hearts of the people,” "adding that like An­drew Jackson he had worked to

Bond for hla release was flrst set at 3100 by Trial Justice Champlln, but on the recommendation of Prosecuting Justice Chauncey M. Squier, the amount was raised to 3900. This was brought about when State Policeman Alson, who arrested Jodoin December 30 after an ac­cident'on the Willlmantic-0>lum- bis highway, stated that *when Jodoin had been fined for the first charge, he would tn all probability be charged with perjury and giv­ing false information after an ac­cident.

Sereno Gains Old Prestige

Glorified Spanish Nighi Watchman Again Be- comes Important.Madrid, Spain. (Correspondence

of The Associated Press)—Sereno —tbe fellow wbo has tbe key to your apartment building when you come In late at night—Is recover­ing the prestige he enjoyed tn the days of the monarchy. 'i

Sereno la a glorified night watchman, generally a little man In a corduroy suit wbo carries.a big bunch of keys thst fit sU the doors In your neighborhood. It la well to be on good terms with him.

It la an old Spsniah custom to close up tbe bouse doors sad win­dows tighter than drums after 10 o'clock st night Spsalab keys ususUy are m u^ too large to bo packing about They wear bolea In your pockets. So you depend on the sereivi to let you In after 10 p. m.

The custom la to stand In front of tbe big Iron gate that bare tbe entrance to your domicile and yeU sing-song fashion, “Say-ray-no-o- 0-0,” all the time clapping your hands. If he Is a good sereno and doesn't happen to be at the farth- eot end o f his boat be will shout bock, "Va," (meaning *Tm com­ing” ) and you know all is well.

SawNttmee WMeetacks Fumbling through a big cluster

of keys by the U ^ t of a match, he oftm aa not Indulges In a wise­crack or two.

Once the sereno has opened the door be bids you good night and you tip him a few pennies.

Tbe sereno sees aU, hears all, knows all. In Madrid there are some 2,000 serenoa, or about one to every 500 peraons. During the cl'vll war moot serenoa were be­lieved sympathetic to the nation­alist cause. Those wiv) were poll- ticaUy minded with active Repub- Ucan aympathlea were in a posi­tion to ‘T^Jt the finger" on right­ists who were being bunted by leftists.

Nat Mw* to OeDuring the siege of Mndrid tha

serenoa did not have much to do. The capital was biseked out and- thers waa no plnce to go at night People who stayed out after cur­few did ao at thslr owa risk, mmpm- cially if they did not stand in aroU with the regime.

In the d a ^ before the republic tbe sereno also performed the functions o f a town ctlar. Hla duty waa to call out tha tlma of day or night loud anougb fbr an to bear. During the republic the custom was discardsd.

Now it la bsing rsvhred in pco- vlncial towns -and vtUagos. Mak­ing Ua rounds, the saceno calls out sisch half hour. Ha also daaetlbaa tbe weather, whether It la clear, ralatoff, awmtaff or

Not that she will be able to get all the articles she wants; her tradesman may shrug and say. "Sorry, mad­am, but our new contingent hasn't come ss .vet,"

The color scheme ts continued by other citizens standing In line with her. There’s the choleric wife of the dentist next d<x>r: her face turns purple as she cusses the war and wishes it Were over. There’s the young postman's wife: she turns red with anger because tbe butcher can't supply hec. Her husband haa been transferred from Poland to the western front, and she wants so badly to have a nice chop for Fritz during his one-day furlough.

Meanwhile the man of the house has reached bla office. He tells his secretary to go out and buy some badly-needed towels. "Nothlnf do­ing," the frauleln says. "I haven't any Bez'ugsscheln.” ,

This newspaper has never Joln- •d the ranks of those angry aouls who seem to believe that the Vraaldant ia guilty of aomathlng highly reprehenaibla In not stat­ing, long in advance of the com­pletion of hla term, whether he hitonila to try for a third election or n o t Hla present tenure of ot- fleo hap still about a year to run.

In which It might bo considered wank—not quite up to tha usual RoopavelUan cleverness. Mr. Roosevelt atreased the tremen­dous importance of the moUve be­hind any Presidential administra­tion. Hia Implication appeared to ho that if the motive was good OForythlng else might be over­looked.

Some other atory-teUlng speech might conceivably, by way

€t nply, call up once more the onclent classic tale of the pet gorilla who, seeing a fly crawling on tha forehead of hla sleeping BMSter and protectively seeking to rid him of the creature, picked

Thera might be no particular point to thla; no particular point of difference, that la, batweaa tha war la Fiifland and any other war. In all wire tha people who order them keep far away from tha perils of the firing lino, the hard­ships and sufferings of the cam­paigns. If there la food and warmth and comfort In tha coun­try, anywhere, it is where tha prar makers are.

But It Is to be remembered that these frozen Ruaslans and the thousands of other Ruaalans who have been destroyed In thla oon- aclencelesa war prera “comrades” of the Soviet ITnlon. They were not supposed to be subjects of a king with no rights but to be aent forth in armies to destroy or ne destroyed after the manner of countless centuries They were fellows of a very modem syatem In which one man la supposed to be as good as another, with all things held in oommoo and all de­voted to the attainment of peace and plenty.

They didn't, however, share so very equally with Stalin and Molo- toff and the rest of the Kremlin crowd the eecurlty of Moscow’i heating plants and Moscow's food stores. Nor, be it noticed, did Stalin or Molotoff or any of their special Kremlin circle get up Into Finland to die In the cold or be starved to death or get blown to pieces with Finnish grenades.

Things, it seems, are not com­pletely equal In tha Soviet Union —not appreciably more equal than they were in tha Russia of tha Cxara. One could put more stock In the Russian brand of Commu­nism if it took a Stalin or a Molo­toff, In the uniform of a private soldier, up to a prlro entangle­ment In Finland to lie in wait In the snow at 40 below xero till death came. But It doesn't do th a t I t never will do th a t If Russia loses a million men In that war—shot and frosen and stabbed and starved—there will be no Sta­lin, no Molotoff, no Kremlin con­spirator among them.

Don’t Jeer at Cenana ManOne of the grsetsot nsprspapers

In the United States pulled a prtae boner the other day. Into a dis­patch from Washington relating to the taking of the census the New Tork Times Introduced a parenthetical note stating that there pras no law requiring a per- eon to answer the questions ask­ed by a census taker.

The. next day the Timee hastily printed another Washington dls patch in which the parenthetical declaration waa emphatically de­nied. There is plenty of law, law with teeth as big as Red Riding Hood's wolf's.

Under the act of Congreae au­thorising the census, a fine of 1100 or imprisonment for eix months may bs Imposed upon conviction of refusal to answer any question asked by tha census snumerator. Worse than that, if one gives wrong information in answering any question be can be sent to Jail for a year or'lined fUOO.

Now it remains to be seen whether the seoond Times item, correcting the mlsatatement of the first, ever catches up with the blunder It Is pursuing; how many Times' readsrs, supported by their limIUeas faith in their favorite newspaper, wUI fall to see the correction and willUell the census enumerator to go roll a hoop for hloMOlf—and find themaelves up against a fa t fine or a long term in the coop.

That, tor the Times, was a lalla- paloosa of a break.

ments that have been made in meant of military communications in time of war—the greater devel­opment of field telephonea and portable radio outllU, It la a llttia astonishing to learn that the Army has a pigeon moblUxation scheme, already wall developed, that la expected to provide no less than 800,000 homing plgeona for service sdthln two months, in case of need. That la twlca aa many carrtar birds aa ths AlUes employed during the World War,

The Army itself has only about tan thousand of the feathered lueasengera, but a long range pro­curement plan, worked out a num­ber of years ago, has been esUb- llshrd on a working basia for good while and private fanciers all over the country constitute elements In it.

With tha Army and a large number of private fanciers both interested in thia program, it Is small wonder that there la pros­pect of the early paseage of both federal and state lawa Impoeing heavy penalties upon anyone con­victed of ahootlng a carrier pigeon, though it wlU probably occaaion aome aurprlae that the pigeon raisers declare that moat of the casualties to birds engaged in test flights and races arise from just thla cause. Very few of them lost- their way or die from exhaus­tion but gxmners kUl many. It la claimed.

Anyway, there wouldn't ceem to be much reason to expect great opposition to dra.stlc measures for the protection of carrier pigoons no m atter In what state they are proposed.

Thera Is a readily accepted theory that it la easier to recruit for any regular military force in hard times than in proaperlty. that were the only factor to considered it would appear that it la a good deal easier for young man to get a Job in Con necticut than it U in Rhode laiand, because the UtUe neighbor sUto obtained 80 per cent of Its aUot- msnt of recruits for ths United States Army between September 25 and December 31 while Con necticut enlisted only 51 per cent of its quota.

There Isn't probably, any sub­stantial ..^difference in the Job op- portunltlea of Connecticut and Rhoda Island—the a'lates are too close together and too much alike in their economic and industrial aetupa.

ot M gestlvs DisordersOne of the symptoms common­

ly encountered among those with digestive disorders ta belching. This is usually due to the use of too large a quanUty of food, it may result from stomach gas. Oc­casionally it will follow the use of some particular artlcls of food, such . as cucumbers or green onions.

Another common symptom of digestive disorders Is that which the patient refers to as heartburn. By this he meant a sour, burn­ing fluid with a bitter taste which rises in the throat. When thle oymptom la noticeable it la a tig nal that you have eaten unwisely or too well.

When the patient baa develop­ed dlgeitlve distress, be often states that the appetite is poor Hunger disappears and the thought of food becomee unpleas­ant under such circumstances, the wisest plan is to atop eating. Aft­er missing a few roeala, the appe­tite will improve, and at the same time, the rest from food will fre­quently help to strengthen the di­gestive powers.

While poor appetite is charac­teristic of •stomach trouble, in some Inatoncea the patient euffers from the opposite symptom and la hungry much of the time. Be­ing hungry eoon after a meal, or a gnawing feeling in the stomach, os I explained in my article yee- terday, are usually due to hyper­acidity. perhapa accompanied by a mild form of gastritis.

It may be stated that the prin­cipal causes of most digestive dis­tress kes In those eating habits which are not good. Relief is of­ten secured soon after the patient changes his dietetic bablta. How­ever, another cause of consider­able importance, and one which la Uttlo understood, is a mental or emotional cauae.

When an individual ia disturbed by anger, worry or any other feeling state conductive to chronic unhapplneas, there ia generally considerable inference with diges­tion and digestive discomfort is the result. Such emotional atatea must he corrected and bapgineas enjoyed In greater measure, at the same time that a good diet ia adopted. If wo wieh to return di­gestion to nornuU.

Diet la a wonderful remedy and one which la capable of doing an enormous amount of good in the correcUon of digeetive discord, but if the patient la to get the real benefit waiting for him through the practice of better dietetic habits, he must also be willing to give up bis destructive mental gymnastic!.

YESTERDAY — Snnriaed by Dr. Lenox’s strange offer of mar­riage, Mary resolves to see Vin­cent, before givlag Gilbert her answer. She goee lodgings, ec Carla M archetta

CHAPTER XIVMary leaned against ths sand­

bag barricade for support. Vincent Gregg and Carla Marchetta pass­ed down the atepe of the lodging house and on beyond the tobaccon- let'a abop, olned the throngs of Trafalgar Square.

Their attitude of Intimacy had been heightened by one of merri­ment, tome pleasantry they alone enjoyed. This Jest or witticism, or whatever it was, seemed to shut a door between them and Mary Carroll.

Now. even if she could have re­nounced her pride. If ahe could have faced her fiance with her beauty disfigured from the blow on the Moravia, she could never have matched Vincent’s pace. Things bad gone too far ahead while she lay in the hospital. And if ever the adage, “three’s a crowd," waa applicable, it waa now.

Her lonllneta aeemed almost more than she could bear. The desolation of her heart had stun­ned her. She bad not known she could feel so xut off from anyone aa she felt removed from Vincent at that minute.

Back to Charing Cross she went aa the bright winter day became overcast. The sUver balloon bar­rage melted into gray clouds as visibility lessened. A light rain whipped her drawn face. The coat that Lady Ponoe-Townsend bad provided waa aU too thin for this cold, wet wind.

Her feet dragged along the streets and up the stairs to the rooms in Soho Square. And there waa no cheery fire b lu ing in the grate as there bad been yesterday. Without stopping to remove her wet coat she M t down at the writ­ing Ubie. Without even thinking what ahe wrote, the words form­ed:Dear Dr. Lenox:

The offer of marriage you made l u t night overwhelmed me with lU generosity. WbUe I feel reluc- tant to allow you to sacrifice your- oelf for me, neverthleaa, if you are still of the u m e mind, I shall be proud to share your name. And if you have reconsidered and wish to withdraw the offer, please believe ’ imderstand.

Sincerely,Anna Winters.

She sealed the letter hurriedly, found a stamp and rushed out to }ost it before she might change her mind.

The next brought Gilbert Lenox to Soho Square. The sight of him renewed her courage.

" I don't think you wUl regret this decision," he said oerioualy. “I t Isn’t that I will ever bother you. Your personal life wiU be u free as it igwaya h u been."

Mary nodded. That was ona the reasons she had held back. He could give her so much and ahe could give him nothing in return

“You only have to u y ‘I will'In the reglstr> and it will be all over. I t ’s quite simple to get mU' ried in wartime; everything eu ily arranged. I made Inquiries

would be beat to have the ceremony then, it you agree. Then,It I have to . go to F tw ee next week, everything will have been taken care of."

“I t Isn’t aa It he weren’t one of the moat eligible men in Lon­don,” Mery told berselt. “Hand' aome, educated, likeable, and os dependable aa the Bank of Eng' land. Why ia it that men like Gil­bert Lenox are always second choices to the Vincent Greggs?”

But to love Vlndtoit bad been her destiny and to escape hla love she could not. Nor would she ever ■top loving Vincent? And wae ehe being fair to Vincent? After all, ha thought her dead. Waa it not unjuat to expect that he would cut blmoelf off from all the things of life because of her memory?

GUbert'a voice brought her hack to the immediate problem.

"You will want to get youraelf ■ome gay ciothas to ba married In." he waa aaylng. Ho tendered a 10-pound note. "Some new clothes will make you feel better. You don't get married every day. j-ou know."

"How exacUy like him!” the re­flected as she murmured her thanks. “Thoughtful, above all.” She had not Included that in the swift catalog of hia .qualities. W»en she spoke It waa liard to expresa the hiUreas

A close-fitting toque of the same color had s smartness that waa almost American. And its fingertip veil would cast merciful uncertainty over the marred side of her face.

A gold clip, new xloves. hose and oxfords of London tan gavs Mary an exhilaration she had not felt in months.

But all the Ume she busied herW ■elf with these outward d ata lM she battleil with her conscience too. On the marriage records she

to ' VInecat'a must give the name of Anna Win- hlm leave with ters Hitherto her masquerade h4d

hurt no one. Would it be wrong to take thle legal step without re­vealing her own IdenUty?

In the end, she had her answer. This ceremony was to be an Im­personal contract—not a marriage at all. If she betrayed her real Identity now she wouli be sent back to America. Some day would make everything cle Gilbert Lenox.Saturday found Dr. Lenox and ^ a ' bride-to-be en route to the regis­try.

“(Iheer up, lltUe sober sides," Gilbert eald, looking r t her kindly as the taxi bounced over the cob­bles. "There Isn't a thing to worry about. From now on, everything will be all right!"

In the bright winter sunlight, Mary found herself relaxing under the doctor's thoroughly competent guidance. He'd saved her life wh| ■be had been at deat'j'a door now he was determined on furti salvage of the pitiful thing saved.

Somehow, the shock of seeing Vincent Gregg with Carla Mar­chetta no longer seemed so ap­palling. The blight of loneliness, terrifying and chilling, seemed to lessen when the was vrith Gilbert.

When the clerk in the registry asked if she, Anna Winters, took this man, Gilbert Lenox, for her lawfully wedded husband, she hes­itated only a second. Then her voice, which had been so muffled, spoke up clearly—

The new canal which the war depsirtmant m gl- neers are building tor the navy to use will be big enough even for a falr'y matronly, full busted 80,- 000-tonner—a ship with hips, and maybe a bustle.

Local Bridge Hazards Cited by Police Board

Selectmen Hold Three of Stmetores Here Are Not Adaptable to Traf­fic Needs; Up to State.

Heavy Fog, Smoke PM , But No Fire 1$ Found

( I >

last n ight the Board of Selectmen discussed the need of new brldgee over the Hockanum river on Middle turnpike w est at Doming street and over the east branch on W ait Center street. The dangerous statsr- oT these spans waa brought up by the Police Commission In a letter which was received by the Selectmen. It ap­peared to be the unanimous opinion that tha Selactmen agree with the Commission that the three bridges mentioned are not adaptable to modern traffic needs, are too nar­row, and In the case of the Dem- ing street bridge, the location is ■aid to be of the greatest danger.

Many Accident#At the Hockanum bridge on the

turnpike west of Love Lane, have been many mishaps and fatal accldenU. The traffic span is so narrow that two cars can hardly paaa, yet thla condition obtains on a main route from Hartford to Manehaator which Is generally quite heavily travelled. It w m M inted out that the obligation to erect a new etructure belongs to the sUte highway departmMt and not to the town. Now that the trolley trestle has been abandoned efforts ara being made to secure a now, wider bridge.

On West Center street the bridge Is quite narrow and difficult of ap­proach. I t U felt that approaches hero should be filled and banked and the croaaover widened.

The worst approach condition in town la sUtod by Selectman Joseph Pero to be a t the Doming street bridge. Here, he says, during both, of the recent snow storms cars have piled up a t the foot of the Doming street hUl. some narrowly escaping rolling down Into the river. One such car lielonged to a state policeman.

OondlUons Surveyed The state highway department

is responsible tor these latter bridges, also, and has surveyed condlUons a t Doming street Md West Center street, but Is holding off work pending the location of the newly projected Wilbur Clross highway. It was said.

I t waa voted that a copy of the Police Commlsslon’a letter be tor warded to the state highway com- mlssloeer.

Authority was voted the Tovm T re u u rtr to borrow $60,000 In anlcipatlon of taxes, the amount being payable August 15. Interest U set a t 29 one himdredths of one per cent, one of the lowest rates ever paid.

Approved by the Board were the recent appointments made in the office of Town Clerk Samuel J. Turklngton. Signed were the ap- polntmenU of Mlaa HatUe Strtek Ia n * to be assistant town clerk and aastotant regUtrar of vital ata tiatlcs, and R K. Anderson to be aaoiatant registrar of vital sta- tlstlcs. , .

Also voted waa the reappoint­ment of Charles B . Booth to be special constable on the Case Brothers property a t Highland Park.

Seek street Lights A request of property owners

and Interested persona that street lights be Installed along the new Boltao road from Lake street to tha Bolton line was referred to the public safety committee. Still pendW ^ * streetlighting survey made In town with a view to relocation of lights and further economy.

There was no objection to the laying of aaseeaements on property ou the east side of Moore street from W est O n te r street to Sum tner street tor walks aad curbs Tha eharcaa were voted approved. A pubUc Imaring oo the queaUoo was held as the meeting opened. Only one property owner appeared.

FoU ow l^ the huolneea meeting of the Board there waa some dis­cussion regarding layoffs tn the highway department. Recently three men have been laid off dua to lack of work. I t was Selectman Joeepb Pero’s view that layoffs should bo staggered so that no hardahipe will bo worked on the men.

"No sir," conceded .Stark, "but the Ural Spee wound up where a lot of UB thought alie would. 8hc was a pcifcctly splendid ship but we who studied her knew she was soft. iShe was not armed against eiglil-lnch shells."

Remarking that there had been "much talk" of tbe advantages of "62,000-ton battleships," • Stark said that in his opinion they would be "either too big or not big enough." He did not explain his remark.

"Four months have gone by and the air raids have not come." he .laid after mentioning blackouts ■mrl other precautions.

He drew laughter a moment lat­er when he said:

"I do not consider that the risk i>r air raids Is over or diminished," he ssid. "and I am certain that we .should make a capital mistake If we became lax In our policy or changed It.

"If we subtract from our losses by enemy action or by the ordinary marine cn.sualtles. our gains, by captures from the enemy, by new ships or by transfers from foreign flags, we have lost up to date 122,- 000 tons."

The Mate highway department, he said, was to start in the early spring laying out the street which have a parkway In the center and roads on both sides. The holding up of this work in tbe past by the state highway department waa due to the uncertainty of where the bridge would cross the river.

of patients was termed "a gratui­tous assumption” and "essentially Incorrect" by the trustees.

No Fun In Economizing '•No one wants to economize for

the fun of doing so,” their report said. "There l.s no want of virtue on the part of the trustees to live within the appropriations, nor to so operate that the greatest value may be obtained for each dollar spent, always of course, having in mind patient welfare.

“If needed appropriations are de­nied, or If In the operation of the state affairs, tbe governor's order la passed reducing the hospital's budget as In 1938, or making a five per cent cut In appropriations as In the current year, such measures of prudence and economy cannot fairly be said to be trustees' acta."

The report added that fortunate­ly the five per cent cut was not In­sisted upon by Governor Baldwin, and that Former Governor Cross had helped out in 1938 by supple­mental appropriations from a spe­cial emeritency fund.

Not Fault of Trustees In answer to the Barker Com-

mi.ssion'.s criticism that the hos­pital failed to meet minimum re­quirements of The American psy­chiatric Association, the tni.stees asserted that It v-as “not the fault of the tniatees. nor of the auperln- tendent that the requirementa arc not met.

We have repeatedly called the situation to the attention of the General Aaaembly, and our re- questa for needed personnel have been denied."

The board of tnisteea. headed by Frank L. McGuire. New London lawyer, reported that It made a 'minute aiirvey” of the ho.spital

last aummer after Senator Joaeph Downea charged on the Senate floor that eonditlona at the Inati- tutlona “atink to high heaven."

Charge *a7«erly False’**Thnt charge, the trustees as­

serted In their report covering 19 pages, had been shown to be “ut­terly false" by the Barker (Commis­sion Itsttf.

“The commission report ad- mlta,” the trustees aaid, “that the hospital plant Is in good condition, the housekeeping la 'satisfactory,' the patients are and liave lieen well-fed, well-clothed, well cored for and well treated.”

Tbe trusteea pointed out also that both Downea and Dr. WlUtam H. Coon, two membera of the com- mlaaion, were membera of the 1939 General Assembly “to which many of our requests were made.

"They knew or ahould have known of our importunities,” the report eald. "Why didn't they help us? And why now should they blame the hospital management for their own failures.'

Dr. Coon, no longer a member of the Barker Oommlarion. repre­sented Easton In the House.

Tbe trusteea contended that with the exception of Uwoe relat­ing to the trustees and the super­intendent, the commlaskia’s rec- ommendatlona *‘are copied from

•our own efforts ot the past faw yaora.”

Blade by Trueleea Before•rrhere were mode by ua,” the

report said. “long before Downea made hla chargee and before the commission was thought of.”

The report, released tqr the gov­ernor without comment, eontte- ued:

“I f at points In tbU answer to the commisaton's report the true- j tees have seemed rather to rt it > must be noted thsL with the e s - . cepUoD of ite wholcoole and un- . Just criticism of the superintend- - ent and tbe clinical dlrSctor and ] the steward, there Is not one spe- clflc recommendation that Is with- In the power of the trusteea ' to ! raaoody that bos not been under conaldermtion by the board for a considerable time.” I

achs tniitoes malted that ttteJ

were a group of headings like ”South Manchester", “North Man­chester”, “Highland Park" et al. Every little section of the town except Qypayville and Slapgut were given population figures, but Manchester, aa a town, didn't rate.

Was Not Listed Even though It was apparent

that oura Is a town of more than 20,000 people, the tabulations lifnored this fact. For Instance, In the World Almanac for laat year and previously, there waa a Hat of all towns with population of 2,- 500 or more, but Manchester, ac­cording to the book, didn’t have that many. At least it wasn't list­ed. But such burgs as Dowaglac, Michigan, Wahoo, Nebraska, and Pupallup, Washington got In. The Town Clerk decided this waa a hit in the eye. He acted.

and almiuiac publishers, Inform­ing them that Manchester is a big enough place to get lost In. He told them we had the biggest

State Welfare Council In a recent report to tbe governor said that “enforced economy. Insufficient ap- proprtationa and the fact that the appropriations were not subject to the sole control of the superintend­ent and tru.xteea have been potent factors In prohibiting tbe expan­sion of activities."

The trustees, asserting that the commiaaion'a criticlam of Moore seems to be based on hearsay termed aa a “silly comment” the commission's charge that Moore apparently ran the hospital.

“Dr. Waterman under the trus­tees la suprenje,” the report said.

Moore **Competont Blaa.”The trustees said alao Moore

was a "competent man" who de­served "credit for efficient pur­chasing and the Issuance of sup­plies to tbe benefit of the pa­tients."

Of Dr. Ricksber, the report said he was an "able man" and had "made considerable progress In the performance of the work In his position” since he had Joined the hospital staff.

The trustees were aided in their survey by Dr. Samuel W. Hamil­ton, director of the Division of Hospital Service of the National Committee of Mental Hygiene. The report quoted Dr. Hamilton as saying that after Dr. Water­man had become superintendent In 1934 "It was the policy of the board and of the superintendent to proceed gradually In strength­ening the organization until In all phases It would be able to meet the hopes and the demands of the citizens of Connecticut for a very superior standard of care and treatment of Its mentally sick.

“I t may be remarked,” Dr. Hamilton was further quoted as saying, "that thla hospital has come through a difflmilt period and that making marked changes In policies and methods without disrupting the organisation has shown fine strategy and good leadership."

The trusteea said they were "glad to have public attention focused on our needs— tbe things we have been trying so long to ac­complish.'*

Sought Good Bfanagement“Insofar as our hospital Is con­

cerned," the report said, “we have tried to see to It that there be good management for patlentff benefit, which, under the law, seems to be about the only func­tion left to the trusteea. In this respect as In others . . . the re­port (of the Barker Oommisolon) seems partisan and unfair. We have striven to do all that Is hu­manly possible to accomplish that purpose by giving close supervi­sion of the boepital and by making our needs known to the General Assembly and asking for appro­priations therefore."

The trusteea expreas the convic­tion that they and Dr. Waterman would not have been “subjected to the present Indignity" if they bad not been “Insistent that pooitions In the non-competlUve clasalfled service should be filled on tbe basis of fitness alone."

The trusteea expressed resent­ment also at the ‘interference of indtviduala who are concerned only with ‘Jobs’ that can be given to the faithful.’

“Our board membera,” the re­port said, “have not been inter­ested In ‘JohF for anyone, have gladly served without pay, have

5,981 people. Looks like there le a Job waiting for the Greenwich town clerk. According to our In­formation. the Fairflek county town has about 42,876 people In It. Of course th j almanac may be right In Its figure If we count only Ckmnecticut people and leave out the New York Income tax eml- grea.

Groton, according to local fig-' urea, has about 12,000 residents, some three times what the al­manac found there. Maybe they took the count when all hands were out watching the Yale- Harvard‘ regatta farther up the line.

Thla correcting of Informative errors Is a heartbreaking business, and there Isn't much thanlu com­ing to anyone who bears a pen In behalf of exactitnde. Maybe after the taking of the 1940 population census, which begins this April, there will a general overhauling of town totals. We may then come Into our own as an admitted big town.

Los Angclee, Jen. 9—(AA— may take tbe staid old Los Angeles country club a year to recover i from the beating It took from the [ rain, the trooping feet of thousands of golf addict# and Mr. W. Lawson U ttle in the 1940 Loe Angeles Open.

A steady downpour had reduced the club'a already tough north course to the status of a quagmire, or plg-aty. Gallerlea had tromped the carefully manicured fairway# into a pulp. And then came Law- son U ttle to hammer par Into submlaalon and wreck what had looked like a peaceful flniah to the fifteenth annual open and victory for a large young man from Un- vllle. N. C., Clayton Heafner.

HaiMla Par Beating - U ttle, hungry for laurels he hadn't found in nearly five years of professional campaigning, began hla rampage yesterday morning and at the ninth hole elgnalled hla first major tournament triumph since abdicating hla amateur throne when he posted a score of 32. three itrokes under par.

Pushing on, the 29-year-otd U t ­tle, who won the United States and British amateur championahlpa In 1934 and 1935, clipp^ another stroke off par a t tha 12th. and ran down aa 18-foot putt for aaothar OB the 18th.

Tha gallery wboopod and yelled when he sank a difficult chip shot for still another birdie on the 16tb, and groaned when he went one over for the first time all day on the 17th. He steadied for the final effort, however, and flnlohed even with four, a 65 for the round, a 72- bole total of 282, and a one stroke victory over Heaifner.

Coming on behind, the North Carolinian had seen bis original five stroke lead over U ttls dwindle to one a t tha turn, and ha scrambling to .g st a tls going Into the 17th. Hmhad to get par and s birdie. itFuiree-putted the 17tb and blew hla chance. He ralUtd with a spectacular approach on the 28th' and birdlad the hole, but It was too late. His T1 for 283 was oaa too many.

Olin Dutra. Los Angaleo. made e belated rally. He went out In S3 three over, but came beck in 81, four under for the 85-35—70- courec, and 285. Back of him and seven shots bshlnd U ttls were Jimmy Hines of Naw York and Johnny Dawson ot Hollywood, who won the amateur trophy for the second straight year.

The St. Ann# of New Britain found the going a lot tougher agalnat the local Wolverines last night than they did agalnat the Green last Sunday and absorbed a decisive 71-33 lacing oa the Wolverines gava a atellar exhibi­tion of sharp ahooting throughout the encounter. The Green was forced Into an ovsrtime period to nip the same team by 71-63.

Evtry mamber of tha local quin­tal participated in the scorlnf and Joe Hlllnakl staged a dassling dis­play when be tank thirteen nbots iron, tbe floor. 8.

"I love to fight thoae big clowns more then the guys my own alze.A guy who can box around with you always glvea trouble. But never those stuffed pillows. They're all the aame to me."

Thla la undoubtedly a large order for the "fighting harp" from the Smoky city. Juat one year ago yes­terday, he showed up In New York fo. the first time, unknown and weighing a mere 168. Now ha le king of the 175-poundere. After hie final workout for toroorrow'a tue- sle, he weighed an even 175, which probably means he will go Into the ring at 176 or 177.

“At that rate.” ha added, I ahould be 185 or 190 In another year. I'm going to give up the llght-heavywelght title when I can't make the weight any more. That’ll be sometime In the next few monthe. If no title fight la ar­ranged before then, Td Uke to hand the champlonehip over to Qua L«a- nevlch. He deserves It—and maybe he'll buy me a new shirt for It."

Pittsburgh, Jan . 4.—(^ —Bill Kern'a resignation as head foot­ball coach at Carnegie Tech today { completed a wholesale departure' of the city's major sporta figures within leas than a year's time.

Jock Sutherland (he's still re- pt.rted going anywhere) started the turnover last March, stepping down In an athletic upheaval at P itt. John P. (Little a ip p er) Smith within 11 days dupllcsted the set St Duquesne.

T h st wss snough to keep ths hot stove league bolUng for months but the fire brightened In September with Pie Trsynor's wilhdrswsi from msnsgershlp of the PItUburgb baseball club. *rhan Johnny Bloo<l gava up leadership of the Pirate pro gridstera.

Olvee Ne Beoeea Kern’s abrupt action long had

been forecast although hs gsvs no reason for It or hint as to hla dsa- tlnatlon. Ha Insisted any word of bis ntw aUmplBg grounds must come from tha school to which hs Is beaded but declared “every­thing will bs aettlsd before the end of the weak.”

Ths big blond has been linked with ths vaesney a t W est Vlr- g ^ where officiate reported “nothing now" concerning the Job and sold they didn't aspect anything to be done about It this week. Kern admits being Inter­viewed recently by Stanford offi­ciate who have announced a new head oooch to aucceod Tiny Thorn­hill will be nomad Friday.

Within the short span of three yean at Tech, William Franklin Kem scaled .the heights and probed the depths. Ha quit as first assistant to Sutherland a t PtU. hU alma mater, In 1447 to under- take bis first bead eoocblng Job.

The Tartans In 1434 hod oos of the best years In ths achoors his­tory, losing only to Notre Dams la the famous “wrong down” aontosL They went to the Sugar Bowl and Kern wss dsoorated as ths aaat’a oosch of the year.

Lost SanaBut test year was oa poor os the

previous was good. S trirt scholar­ship requirements depleted alsa of the squad, alumni failed to con­tribute generously under or alumnl-aid plan. Kern himself eX' pressed dlasatlsfactlon with con ditlOBS. His team couldn’t seem to get going, losing five and win nlng three.

Dr. Eddie Baker, first lieutenant throughout Kern’s sU y a t Tacb, la regarded as the Ukely successor to the |*teid post

an outstanding baseball player. A son, Edward J : Reilly, Jr ., atarred at Central and Providence college and Is now, following hla fathar's . foouteps, coaching Junior Collage has gotten togsthar a of CkmnecUcuL | for ths first todoor si

Hackney I^ses Record ChanceSprained Wrist Robs

Collegian o f Possible Shot Put Mark.Manhattan, Kaa., Jan. 9—CF) —

Elmer Hackney, four months ago an AII-AmerTca football prospect and potential world shotput record breaker. Is Just another forlorn young man about the campus.

A knee Injury robbed Kansas State's three-sport ace of his chances at gridiron glory. Now a badly sprained right wrist has coat him his highest ambition, a world record In the shot.

As a junior, Hackney pitched the Iron ball to 18 records In 12 meets last year. He claimed a new Aroer' lean mark of 53 feet, 11 Inches In the annual Kansas State-Neb- raska-Kansas get together.

He won the national collegiate championship with 33 feet, 10 3-8 Inches at Los Angeles In June. That left him only one record to toss for this season, Jack Torrance's world mark of 57 feet, 1 Inch.

" I sincerely believe Hackney had a strong chance to net a. new world record this spring,” moans bis coach. Ward Haylett. "He had ex­cellent speed across the circle and flne coordination as well as i wealth of power.”

But there were those football In juries. He sprained hla wrist so severely In the opening game that Coach Haylett doubts his 205- pound athlete can use It for shot putting this year.

He sprained hla knee In the third game and played only a few min iitea the rest of the season. All- Big Six fullback his junior year Hackney was expected to power­house hla way Into All-America consideration.

He also was Big Six heavyweight wrestling king hla sophomore year but haa given up the mat mauling to protect his knee. He Intends to sign a Philadelphia Eagles con tract and play pro football two years, then turn to coaching.

Hackney, determined not to end a once brilliant collegiate career as a bench warmer, clings to 'one slim hope.

"W e may try to develop his thcowlng with his left hand,” Coach Haylett warns Big Six rivals. " I believe he could defeat many of the shot putters In this section left-handed."

U. S. Public Debt Passes 42 Billion

Wn.shington. Jan. 9 (,P) - The Trewury disclosed today that* the public debt passed 142,000.00,000 ^ Jan. 8. coming within 33,000,- ODO.OOO of the statutory limit

President Roosevelt advised Congress lust week that further debt increases wotild be necessary because of deficits next year, but sold then that If Congress voted $460,000,000 o f additional taxes to pay for emergency national de­fense costs, the debt would not reach $48,000,000,000 In the next fiscal year. With the new taxes, he said, the estimated debt on June 30, 1941 would be $44 9M • 577,632.

Since the current fiscal year began on July i, the debt has m- creosed I1JM2.048.037, because of borrowing to finance most of "the $2,113,711,637 deficit Incurred In the same period. The rest of the deficit was paid out of c a ^ on band at tbs beginning of tbe yaar.

Open ForiimCanada's Part In War

Editor, The Evening Herald:There are three reasons which

cause mo to hesitate the question­ing of anything produced by your editorial pen. The first, my very high regard for you as a personal friend. The second, the fact that you are so nearly always right. The third, your pen Is so keen that I dislike making myself a target for even one of Its mildest barbs. But I cannot be true to truth and to my own conscience without a protest against the editorial In your Issue of November 23 which has just come to my attention. You alTIrm that "Canada's predisposi­tion to aloofness from the war It­self Is not so very pvuch less than ours” . And further "Canada Is in the war, to the extent of the Up ot a forefinger. But she Is keeping out of It so far aa her feet and her head and her vitals are concerned” . That these statements are wholly Inaccurate, I am sure the following facts will Indicate.

You baae your conclusions, seem Ingly, upon an editorial which you quote from the Vancouver Sun. Granted that the Sun Is not wholly In sympathy wltb tbe war. which 1 think your quotaUons are a long way from proving, does that Indl cate that Canada, as a whole. Is Indifferent? Hardly. Did every American newspaper support America In the last war? Scarce­ly. But was not America In the war to the Isat ounce of her energy? The Sun declares that a smaller army will be sent to France than In the last war, and that the defense of Canada haa been placed foremost In Canada's respoDBiblllUes. O f course; but not because of lock of sympathy, but because o f these reasons. In tbe last war Japan was an ally. Today she is a potential enemy, making It ImperaUve for tbe Dominlop to guard the entire Paclflo coast. In the last war Canada bad practical* ly no airforce, no navy, and no submarines. Today she haa all of these, and they muat be manned. Ekiemy submarines now have a much longer ciiilslng range so that every part of eastern Canada Is likewise menaced. Thus, of course. In a way not neceaaary In the last war, Canada must look to her own defense. In so doUig she Is greatly helping tbe empire.

Now to aome facts. I f Canada Is In only “ to tbe exteut of the tip of a forefinger,” may 1 ask how you explsln that two large con­tingents of troops alrsady have v - rived In Ehigland? 1 myself saw assembled last September from only two of the fifteen counties ot New Brunswick, one o f the small­est at the ten Provtnoes of ths Dominion, a contingent o f Infantry and artillery Of upwards c f, a thousand men. Did that look Ilka Indifference ?

Or how explain the fact that tha youth of Canada are flooUng to the alr-flelds for training In such numbers that only a fraction can

ba cared to r. Soon aeveral thous­and will bs In training, and alrsady many are aervlng with ths Royal air Force overseas.

Blit the. most significant fact of all Is the patriotic devotion of tbe French Canadians to this war, which la ths more remarkable when It Is rscaUed how aa^on ia- tlc they wera to both the Boer and the World wars In a recent elec­tion In the Province of Quebec, DuplesBs, the Prime Minister was snowed under because o f his Isola­tionist position. Le Devoir, tbe per­sonal organ o f the former nation­alist and Isolationist, Bourassa, now gives Implied support. But.ai. most sensational la an article in L'Action Cathollque. I quote "The enemy la quite simply that power­ful and ferocious Prussian organ­isation of which the Nasi organ­isation Is only tbe symbol. Hitler Is just s number in the series of Williams snd Blsmarcks. If he Is more noisy, more dynamic, more personal even than hla illustrious predecessors he resembles them in his brutality; he surpasses them above sU by tbe shamelessness and the facility with which, at an In­terval of a few hours and under the most futile pretexts, he violates his word and his signature.”

And If thla does not suffice here Is what may be called the voice of Intellectual Quebec in the utter­ance of tbe distinguished political leader and scholar, Louis Athanasc David. Speaking recently at a political rally In Montre^, be de­clared that Canada was only doing her duty In supporting the war. I f Britain and France were defeated, he said, Canada would be the prey of Hitler and Stalin, like Poland and Finland. Clearly then, this time, Quebec Is more unreservedly behind Britain than ever before.

That neither statesmen nor sol­diers anywhere are entering this war with the almost hilarity of the last, all will agree. We have team­ed what ghastly business war is even at Its best. There Is a slow dawning that all nations are more or less responsible for the suspicion and hatred that are world-wide. All have sinned and come abort, and we are included. When we so glibly say o f Europeans, "Let them stew In their own juice"; or "All they are fighting for Is to main­tain their Imperialism” , have we not forgotten fpme of out own hla- tory? Would America fight today to retain what she took from Mexico, by what Corwin, and Abraham Uncoln, both called as unjust a war on a weaker State aa ever was waged? And what of the statement of the American Bishop Baahford. see page 446 of bis great book, “China, An Inter­pretation” , that since 1848 Amer­ica has annexed 1,800,000 square miles, or actually more than Ger­many had taken? We live In a gloss house. We should shun the disease of "Halo-itls.” And we surely should avoid wounding the feelings of our friendly neighbor at the North by misrepresenting, even though entirely unintentional­ly. her patriotic devotion to the mother country In this her hour of need. Those on the scene at the time well remember how a half- humorous, though very lU-tlmed and silly remark by Champ Oark, about the United States In tending to annex Canada anyway, so en­raged the Canadian people over night that the electorate buried the reciprocity program desired quite as much by Washington, as by Ottawa. F ifty years will have elapsed before the animosities en­gendered by Lindbergh's impertin­ent advice to this northern neigh­bor about her own domestic poli­cies. will have subsided. Canada's population may be numerically small. She may be weak and poor as compared with our strength and wealth. But she Is proud. She Is making an amazing contribution to the empire In the present struggle. I regret, more than words can tell, that one of my favorite newapapers should join Champ Clark and Lind­bergh In the pIn-prickIng business, should make such ah inaccurate sUtement as thst Canada Is In the war only “ to the extent qf a fore­finger."

Bonura Keeps Giants in Fix

Q ub Offers 915,000 Salary Bat Doesn't Plan on Using Him.

New York. Jan. 9 . - (4>)—Among the 37 players to whom the Giants announce they have mailed con> tracts for 1940 Is Zeke Bonura, zestful flrstbaseman from old New Orleans.

Now, tbe Giants have got them­selves Into something of a piess about Zeke. They bought him from Washington for $23,000 last wlntSr and paid him the not unhandsome salary of $13,000 for his season's work.

Manager Bill Terry soured on Zeke completely about a month before the close of the race. He took Zeke off first and let him do only an occasional chore of pinch- hlttlng down the stretch. Indica­tions are that Bonura plays no part whatsoever In Terry's plans for 1940.

Yet tbe Giants, perforce, have written the big bwana merchant out another contract calling for $13,000. It is a very peculiar case, and one not calculated to make the Giants' front office happy.

Bopura haa the Giants In a spot. He put them there during the re­cent big league convention, when tbe Giants were on the verge of trading him to the Phillies. The Phillies, being gun-shy, obtained permission from Terry to call Zeke long-distance and see if he would be willing to play for them at a salary considerably less than $15,- 000. .

Zeke, awakened from a sound sleep, said he would be delighted to first-base for the Phillies. He said he would be reasonable about bis salary, too. He said he thought $17,300 would be about right. The Phillies spokesman gasped and bung up.

The news got around, of course, and since then the Giants have been left quietly in possession of Bonura.

Washington wouldn't have mind­ed having him back, for be Is color­ful and popular with Capital City fans. But the clubs that could use Zek,. can't afford to support him In tbe style to which the Giants have let him become accustomed.

The Giants don't want 2Seke to get mad at them and hold out. be­cause their chances of trading or selling him eventually would be re­duced materially. He Is, after all, a fairly valuable baseball property. Frankly, they don't know exactly what to do.

Possibly, they will have to fall back on him as their regular first- baseman in the coming race. Babe Young, a former Fordham star, has the Inside track on the job, with llght-hlttlr.g Johnny McCar­thy In reverse. Neither Is a ball of fire.

Perkins Will Not Relax in Tax Joust

York, Pa.. Jan. 9.—<,v>—Despite the loss of a second round, FTed Perkins hss no Intention of relax­ing his tax joust with the Federal government

The batteiy maker, who went to jail rather than comply with NRA codes, settled another ac­count with Federal agents yester­day by buying two trucks that had been taken from him for m - clal security taxes.

That accomplished, Perkins said with characteristic vehemence; 'Tm not going to pay the next time. Whatever the government geU from me. I i wUI have to oon- fiscate."

He asserted that be had to bor­row on his life Insurance In order to get his trucks aad square 8117.46 tax and penalties.

Meantime, the Pennsylvania De- partmant o f JusUcs prsparad to enter suit Thing Judgment against Perkins for 8233.41 taxes due the Division of Unemployment Compensation.

Refuse to Help Unloading Fish

Boston, Jan. 9—UP)—Ice-coated trawlers carried more than a mil­lion pounds of fish Into Boston to­day but 200 fish-handlers—pro­testing against a new Health De­partment rule barring the use of three-tined forks In unloading— steadfastly refused to help In dis­charging the cargo, bringing about a serious tie-up.

Crew members of vessels which carried 635.000 pounds of fish—an "unusually low” Monday arrival at the fish pier—were forcwl to do all the unloading yesterday and did not finish until almost four hours after the usual quitting time.

West Side Ree LeagueSilbros furnished the fireworks

Charley Kebart led the Hartford Road team with a high single o f 141 and Ekitle Larson's 371 was the lethal wallop that kayoed Gibson’s Garage.

Flick Expects Banner Season

For NationalLeague Prexy Thinks

Game Will Continue Progress; Sees Another Tight Flag Chase.

By Ford Frick National BssebRll League

PresMent

New York, Jan. 9— — One very In^iring outgrowth of centennial celebration Is the f^ ward-looking attitude and acUi of the baseball world which haa manifested Itself this winter In the form of Ideas for further develop­ment of the national game.

Regardleas of whether or not tbe suggested niles-changes, etc., are put into effect, this widespread spirit of advancement proves that baseball, 100 years old, la really young, vigorous and forward-look­ing as It steps Into its second cen­tury.

The National League’s centei nial year pennant race was ogol true to our tradition—a haro_ fought campaign decided In th ? last throes of the September dnvs. Looking forward, there is every Indication at this point that our spring tradlUon wUl bold true again In 1940—an even chance for every contender. Our picture por­trays an array o f good, fast, well- matched ball clubs launching into competition In which the question of eventual supremacy will be fought out on the playing-fields, day by day, with the favorite pennant contenders emerging out of the vicissitudes of keen conflict.

The turnstile vote- of fandom last year attested that baseball world’s liking for the National League style pennant races, prov­ed that tbe national game's funda­mental principis la even competi­tion with a fair chance for all. Every new year In tbe National League opens like a brand new book, with a fascinating story to tell, on unpredictable and exciting story unfolding with each new chapter.

I t ’s a year-round story, too. It will be mid-April before the st bol. Is thrown that makes a mark In the 1940 records, but behind Lie scenes right now—all winter—all efforts ore being devoted to strengthening each club’s lineup. Owners and managers ore engag­ed in marshalling oU avollome power for the training camps In March.

I am very proud that the Na­tional League thus playa the na­tional game in tune with the na­tional splrlL I look forward to the coming season with the some keen anticipation aa do the follow­ers of our respective National' League clubs. Each National League fan knows hla club has a fair chance to figure In the pen­nant at the start and a fighting chance to be In the race right down to the flnjsh.
