Templeton, Victim of Own Machine, Beaten at Every Turn in Session
 of Legislature Just Concluded

his legislative schemes came to naught, the open break with the Roraback forces constitutes the outstanding feature of his administration.
 Pleases No One.
 On April IS the governor again made a move which undermined confidence in his administrative actions and alienated both influential members of his own party as we'll as democrats who might have been attracted to him because of his growing opposition to the republican machine. On that date he named How ard P. Dunham of Wethershed, whom he had previously made a colonel on his official staff, as state insurance com missioner in place of Burton R. Mans field, democrat, who has held the office with signal distinction both to himself and to the state.
 Assails Legislators.
 Just two days later the governor ad- dressed the Civitan Club of Hartford at the Hotel Bond and, speaking with out notes let his inner feelings get the better of him and launched a general assault on the legislature which had made his administration such a, hectic one. He likened the assembly members to lot of ants and said that half mile of state road would cause them to sacrifice almost anything. He told of the pressure for patronage that is brought to bear upon a governor and in no uncertain terms made it clear how he felt about the way things were going on capitol hill.
 The reastion was simply to add to the desire of republicans and desocrats alike to balk the governor at every turn. Legislators jokingly referred to the place of their activities as "the ant hill'' and many variations were made of the theme that, though they might be ants, the governor would find that they could sting like wasps.

Nothing of moment occurred during the governors first week in office and 1t was announced that the legislative carers ooked forward to fna adjourn ment not later than the first week in May. House Leader Buckley an- nounced that every effort would be made to speed up legislation with an early ad- journment III mind, and 1t looked as though Connecticut was to see one of the that only a we'll disciplined political or ganization can give. It is curious to note today that 1t is due to the decision of Representative Buckley himself that the assembly has been kept in session day even when there was little or no legis- lation awaiting action, merely to create another, Legislative day" and thus force bills out of the governors hands, either onto the statute books as laws, or back to the assembly with vetoes which the machine could promptly override.
 At this time the so-called Kent Hub bard bill. measure designed to oust E. Kent Hubbard democrat of Middle town, from the state board of finance or from the directing boards of several institutions. had been pushed through the house by Representative Bunkley ot Union and it was known that the gover- nor was opposed to the measure.
 In the midst of a situation that was getting more and more tense each day, long interview with the governor was printed in The Times setting forth his position regarding several important appointments and containing, among other information. this statement" Cover nor Templeton is determined to maintain a position of independence in making the foregoing nominations and to press for the successful passage of the legislatio to which he has committed himself. even if 1t involves an open break between himself and the Roraback forces" The lcovernor did exactly that and. though

Mrs. Oleson's
 Fearful Heroics

PTo-commun1st papers are printing yards of high praise for Mrs. Anna Oleson, Michigan juror who held out to acquit Foster. The trial was long since over, but the songs of praise go on. "I could look away from the courtroom where the trial was on," she is quoted as saying, and see the conflicting forces contending for the mastery of human rights"
 The Fosterites have played the Michigan trials as free speech trials, as trials for human rights, as trials for anything that would arouse sym pathy for the defendants
 The trials were not free speech trials, nor trials for human rights, nor for anything else except the vio- lation of state law.
 It may be that the state law shouldn't have been on the books that isn't the point at issue. The law is on the books and the state charged violation The law isn't an anti free speech law, either It is a law against conspiracy to promote crimi- nal syndicalism as defined in the law
 People who try to spill tears over the issue to becloud it have a reason, of course-and trade uniinists have small excuse for being confused by the tears of their enemies.
 There are some points worth re- 1nembering: The men on trial, headed by Foster, don't believe in free speech ard they admit 1t and are proud of 1t. They don't believe in a free press and they aren't concerned about free assemblage
 If the law were a free speech law, where would these dictatorship of the proletariat" devotees get off at to oppose it? But 1t isn't, and still they yelp.
 Mrs. Oleson is quoted far and wide as means of smothering the issue. Talk about the Foster trial being the reflection of struggle for the mas tery of conflicting forces sounds big, but 1t IS the essence of tommyrot. Mastery of human rights" in the Michigan trials Is about the last thing found in those trials
 Wasting sympathy over the check mating of syndicalist, pro-soviet, anti American, antiAmerican Federation of Labor schemings and chicanery is poor business.
 Unitey under the banner of the American Federation of Labor is the one sure way to progress. Organize, unite, federate, educate and grow strong. Then shall all things good be added unto the wage earners of our country!

The police then started an automatic search for him. To date, 1t has proved fruitless. That the board of education knew little or nothing of Flint's past activ-

 Not even the disclosal of the prin- cipaps escapades stirred the lethargic board. Formal action on the matter was suspiciously postponed There was every indication that the board, realizing it's unmasking, wanted to avoid prosecution of the case and at tendant notor1ety.

At least it is known that assistance was not rendered the police in any conceivable manner. The case has not been brought up at any of the meetings since, and it is safe bet 1t never will be.
 Primarily the board of education was to blame for Flint's nefarious actions The board was the source of the trouble. Flint would never had been hired, if the board had investi-- gated his past, as it should have, and the school system would not have been immersed in the cloud of scandal in which it finds itself today as re- suit of 'the unfortunate case.

 "Ihe report of the committee on pro- posed elimination of the 12-hOur day ap- pointed by the American Iron and Steel Institute shatters the public confidence that was inspired by the creation of the committee year ago that at the request of the President of the United States. It Is a definite rejection of the proposal for the abolition of the long day.

Already the New Haven Trades Council has gone on record as favor ing the election of members of the board of education. The matter was discussed and acted upon at the time the notorious Flint case first came to light.
 For several years, organized labor in New Haven has contended. that the board of education, with its duties of immeasurable importance, should be publicly elected, in preference to its present status, that of a political football. The argument IS advanced ability, but with energy and deter should be designated to guide the destinies of the hundreds of school children in the Elm City.
 The board of education Is not func- tioning properly in New Haven to- day. It Is carrying out its duties methodically, and often carelessly, as was plainly disclosed by the Flint epi- sode.
 If the members of the board were accorded their positions by vote of the people, rather than being hand picked by whichever political party happens to be in power, it Is the gen eral belief that much better results would be obtained Briefly, the prin- cipal objection to the board is that its political phase should be removed.
 Local leaders in organized labor are slowly but surely formulating their plans to transfer the appoint ment of board members from the heading of the administration direct ly to the people. The Flint case, 1t IS said, is to be set forth as an example of the menacing conditions existing today.
 There lis no doubt that the New Haven board of education was shown up" by the escapades of Flint. Local newspapers tried to "cover up" the expose of the members, as brought about by the disappearance of the principal, but it was a weak, half hearted effort. Everybody realized that the board, to a considerable ex- tent, was responsible for the depre- dations of the man.
 Flint robbed almost everyone with whom he came in contact. He stole from school teachers, male friends, duped local business houses; even

SOME OPEN ROAD RULES THAT ADD
 JOY TO TOURING

Don't fail to give the necessary hand signals when slowing, stop ping or turning in order to indi- cate your intention to the driver behind.
 Obey the parking laws. Read the parking signs and keep away from fire hydrants and theaters.
 Drive on the right side of the road; it's just as good as the left.
 Slow down when approaching a ous as a railroad crossing.
 Look out for children. You can never tell what they'll do, and you are always in the wrong If you hit one.
 Be sure that your "dimmers" really dim: it's no joke driving into binding glare, as you prob ably know.
 Read and obey this warning signs: they're not put up as orna- ments.
 If you feel you've got to speed do it where it won't kill anybody but yourself.
 When making minor repairs, stop where your car may be seen from both directions; otherwise you may stop longer than you an- ticipate. Use discretion. The fact tha, you had the right of way won't bring anybody back to life-least Of all youdsef.

M0RWENA BIRD SAYS YES TO ROYAL PRINCE
Cairo Finds New Topic For Gossip
 During Summer

CAIRO, June 23.-(By Associated Press.)-Cairo is gossipins again. The inhabitants had barely recov- cred from the Tutankhamen affair when a scion of the Egyptian royal house secretly married an English girl.
 The bride was Miss Morwena Bird, and the royal bridegroom is Prince Said Halim, second cousin of King Fuad. The minute the regal rela- tives of the prince heard about his love for an English maid of another faith they began making objections, but got nowhere with them. The prince simply took his sweetheart into a Moslem religious court, went through the ceremony and ran away to see Europe in the fashion of hon eymooners.
 Miss Bird since the war has been one of the bright figures of Cairo's bathrooms. Her father was a col onel stationed in Egypt before the war The prince, who is 25, already has the reputation of being good

 His penchant for prophecies was recognized during the war when he consistently wrote to the newspapers that Turkey and Germany were go- ing to fall. As everyone knows, this forecast came about, in man ner. so the prince is now a prophet with some glory in his own land.
