ORGANIZATION To
Unity POPULATION
AmeriCanization Movement
Gains Impetus Throughout State

Hartford. July 22.-Methods Of
Carrying on the Americanization pro
gram OF the Connecticut State Coun-
Gil of Defense, an approximation for
which has just been approved by the
state board of control, were discussed
at the state capitol yesterday at the
first meeting of the committee which
will direct the new work,
Richard NJ. Btssei1, chairman of the
State Council OF Defense, attended
the committee meeting. After saying
that the necessity of unifying the pop
ulation in the state, through a com
mon understanding of American
ideals, had made itself felt more and
more by the defense council until
the present bureau is tbs outcome he
outlined the contemplated scope of
the work Hartford, New Britain,
and several OF the other stable cities
OF the state, he said, already have
Am erica nlzation boards which are en-
gagged in making Connecticut an Eng
lish language state and are carrying
cn other practical aspects of the
work. Such boards should be estab-
lished in all the smaller centers, also.
Mr.. Bissell said.
The appointment of a state director
and directed by the State Council of
Defense is contemplated. Mr.. Bissell
added that he hoped to see this work
SO firmly established by the next ses-
sion OF the general assembly that the
legislature would put the project on
a permanent basis.
Stanley II. Holmes, chairman of
the committee, said, What we want
here is the personal touch. some one
to talk to these foreigners and tell
them that there is great. big heart
waiting for them, that we want to
give them a fair deal and treat them
On the level. First, our own people
must get this feeling and then they
must put it across to the other races"
1t was emphasized that these for
eign elements, so large in the great
industrial centers OF Connecticut, are
held at a distance. Among them may
be found men Of the highest intellect,
who have standing in their own coun-
try, who rank correspondingly high
among their own people, but who are
absolutely ignored by US other Ameri-
cans, lost because of lack of interest.
It is planned that the Americaniza-
ton bureau headquarters at the state
capitol will be opened next week.

ROOSEVELT VS.. ROOSEVELT.
Democrats Look to r.. D. to Oppose
Colonel in New York.

Washington, July 22.-The talk Of
the Democrats Of New York trotting
out Franklin =. Roosevelt Assistant
Secretary of the Navy, to run for
Governor in case Col. Roosevelt should
be the Republican candidate has ex-
cited smiles here
Friends of Franklin .. Rooasve1t,
who Is now absent on an important
mission, insist there is not the slight
est chance of his being open to such
an invitation, first because he has
made up his mind to continue his war
work, believing this to be his patriotic
duty and second because under no
circumstances would he run against
his distinguished uncle.
Assistant Secretary Roosevelt IS
on the most cordial terms with the
Colonel and there is strong family
feeling between them. This reason
alone probably would be sufficient to
keep Mr.. Roosevelt from agreeing to
become the Democratic candidate I'M
der such conditions. But the one
idea that Is controlling with him as
he has plainly indicated in talks with
friends recently is that this is no
time to vacate A post carrying war re-
sponsibi1ities second only to those of
Secretary Daniels.
AS has been stated, New York state
Democrats who are pinning any hopes
on Secretary Lansing, Counsellor
Frank Polk or Assistant Secretary
Roosevelt are doomed to disappoint-
