HYPHENATED CLUBS
 ARE CRITIC|zED
Atty. CaSale Objects to Such
 Political Organizations

Hyphonated political clubs were severely scored by Attorney S. Ger ard Casale. member of the board of education, former charity commits sioner and one time member of the board of public works, in an address to the Kiwanis club at the Burritt hotel today.
 Attorney Casale. after a lighte. talk, suddenly launched into an at- tack on clubs which. he said. foster a divided allegiance which brought his hearers up to an enthusiastic ap- plause.
 He told a story of former Lord Russell of England. who said legis- latures were for the greatest good to the greatest number, the greatest number being No. 1. He said the hyphenated political club is gener- ally organized for one purpose, and intimated that the purpose was a selfish one.
 They exert pernicious influence on the life of their members, not a healthy influence at all We attain suffrage on oath that we will be good, upright American citizens, and we need no hyphen to emphasize that status. We don't need a French American political club, we don't need an Italian American Republi- can or Democratic club: we don't need a Polish American political club, or a Swedish American club all we need are American political cluhs." he said.
 Most of these hyphenated clubs are organ nized for one purpose-that of attaining political favors for the people of one racial strain. We don't want the people of one racial group trying to jam something down ouS threats for their own benefit.
 In my veins flows the blood of Italy. and I have been approached with the idea of forming an Italian American political club. I've re- fused to do 1t. am an American cltlzen, porn in this country and sworn 10 uphold the ideals and tra- ditions Of the country. don't be- lfcve in hyphenated clubs. They are an unfortunate condition, and the sooner we realize that the better.
 Intelligent men and women of America cannot be herded into one group and stamped Classified and delivered Let us be concerned with American problems and let us han de them as Americans.
 New citizens will be accepted more freely and In a more friendly manner If they enter into the full ness of American citizenship. The hyphenated club is the wrong way 10 go at 1t. It prolongs a clannish feeling which sooner or later must go. Our children won't care any, thing about the foreign nations. They will be Just plain Americans"
 Next Wednesday the club will elect officers. Among the visitors today was Tom Pardee of Waterbury, lieu tenant governor of Kiwanis clubs, who spoke for a few minutes.

 Weekly steel trade reviews report ed consumption as steady, with gen cral expectation of rising scale of activity next month. Another ad- vance in the price Of export copper helped the non-ferrous metal shares, Nevada and Cerro De Pasco reach- ing new high ground.
