SHELTERS FOR REPORTERS

Those members Of the newspaper

as to have to sit through the Yale

Thus falls another tradition at

Ever since the erection of the
huge Bowl In New Haven the univer.

refusal. That such q roof would mar

This year a step forward was made
when roof was erected to care for
the radio announcer and his micro
phone but the main press stand re-
manned uncovered. The protests of
the reporters has finally been needed
and the work will be started las
soon as finances warrant it,
There seems to be no question of
finances as the university announc-
cd recently that football has become
million dollar business in New
Haven. The University of Illinois,
which has one of the most beauti-
full stadiums in the country, not only
has n sheltered press stand but one
which is enclosed in glass. heated by
steam and equipped with windows
which slide open for games played
in warm weather.
1t is therefore not an impossible
thing for Yale to do. The announce

who have suffered that the public

Police Powers OF Mayor
And Election bay Incident

Inquiry into the election day In
cdent In which . supernumerary
policeman was withdrawn from duty
at the sixth ward polling place after
he had "bawIed out" Mayor Paon.
essa and ordered the mayor out OF
the Elihu Burritt school building. has
brought ont interesting information
with reference to the mayors d.
ties and powers.
Perusal OF the city charter plain.
ily shows that the mayor not only
has all the powers Of Il policeman,
but also that he is required to ex-
ercise them. particularly with re-
spect to assemblies In buildings.
And to protect the mayor in the
exercise of those powers, the char
ter Of the city goes a step further
and provides that anyone who shall
abuse the mayor while he IA 20 do
ing Is liable to fine of 800 and q
Jail sentence OF six months.
In point. is Section 1. Chapter s.
OF the charter, which directs: 1.-The
mayor Of said city shall be the chief
executive magistrate thereof, and 1t
shall be his duty to be vigilant in
causing the laws thereof to be en-
forced He shall have tho
power TO enter any house. building
or place in which he may suspect

ana may call out the regular
or supernumerary police force Of
the city whenever he may deem II
necessary and may exert all the
force necessary to enable him to
execute the laws within said city,"
Section Of the same chapter
provides the penalty for abusing the
mayor.

A DEMOCRAT IN THE CABINET

A DEMOCRAT IN THE CABINET
Rumors are already prevalent that
Hoover az President will have q mind
OF his own and not be guided en-
tirely by party dictation. Responsible
observers in Washington are already
bold enough to prophecy that he
will appoint = Democrat into the
cabinet.
II politics in this country were run
upon : high plane Of efficiency there
should be room in every presidential
cabinet for the defeated presidential
candidate Of the opposing party. A
candidate for President, regardless
OF party, always is 4 man of out
standing governmental qualifica-
lions. No party in the history OF the
government has deliberately nomi-
mated a nincompoop as its standard
bearer. The mere tact that one of
the candidates is defeated does not
mean he Immediately Is entirely be-
reft Of ability and value to the gov
eminent. In parliamentary govern
ments such q defeated candidate
automatically becomes tho leader Of
the opposition; in our country we
leave him to 90 into business or, II
a lawyer, make his living by practice
ing at the bar. Thus We lose valuable
talent for governmental purposes.
or course, American politics being
what they are, 1t 10 nearly idealistic
to expect Al Smith to be placed in
the cabinet OF Herbert Hoover, de-
sirabie from every standpoint as It
may be. There are too many quite
ordinary party individuals who hank.
er for such recognition" to permit
this desideratum in our development.
But If ever there ia to be a change
for the better In our conception OF
such things II will come under an
Independent thinker like Herbert
Hoover. Our guess ia. that il 1t 10
really likely that Hoover will wish
Democrat in his cabinet, it will be

Dawes plan and an Acknowledged

POlNCARE RETURNS AFTER
TEMPORARY UPSET

Off agin'. On agin'. Gone agin'.-
these snappy lines from the famed
poem of a generation ago aptly de-
scribe the Poincaresque political
turmoil In France. After his unhors-
ing the other day. when the entire
French cabinet as usual fell in the
ditch with the premier. the leader
looked about for a few days, noted
that there seemed to be no one else
on hand to remount the mare, and
decided 'in principle" to take an
other chance with the animal. He is
no Prince of Wales. either. merely
being a tribune of the people who
never knows when optimism is due
to give way to pessimism.
The former Poincare cabinet
functioned from July 49,. 1925. No
one knows how long the revived
Poincare cabinet will function after
it again gets under way, but it 10
safe to assume there will be no ups
set for quite a time. A review of the
old cabinet, and its achievements
is apropos. forming good back
ground for consideration of the new.
The recent Poincare cabinet
was the third longest in the history
of the republic and to Poincare must
go need of credit for being able
to maintain it so long and under
such unfavorable circumstances. n
was born during the trying days
whcn.the franc was trying to 60 the
way of the mark of former day,
when the nations attention was con-
centrated upon maintaining its
money on a parity that would not
spell disaster to the people. The fl
nal outcome was the Sterilization
that was based upon large increase
in taNes5-itself a feat to perform
and then the fixing Of franc value
at one-fith its preWar status. This
meant huge loss TO the holders Of
money. hut the French were
philosophical and accepted it as the
lesser horn of the dilemma. But It
was limited from that time on that
there would be a change in the gov
eminent If everything did not run
smoothly. AS it turned out. the rift
WAS caused by the opposition of
CaillauX and his Radical Socialists
against Poincare's policies.
Only last April France went to the
polls and gave a tribute to the Poin-
care fiscal policies by returning 46
the so Union party men to office.
1t was considered heavy blow to
the Communists. Yet today. half q
year later. the government has failed
to maintain the support of one I'M
portant branch of its radical sup
porters.
The Alsatlan mudde has been a
deeprooted difficulty in recent
French politics. From the time Of
the autonomy trial last June, when
two deputies from Aisace were Jail
ed. until the present there has been
widespread h~po.ifjon to criticize
the government for its Alsatian
policy against self-rule. DR.. Ricklin,
one of the imprisoned Asatian
deputies at the time, maintained
that bi-lingualism must remain in
Alsace and that the government must
respect the religious and legal trad-
tons OF Alsace. Poineare did not

that France is centralized govern.

leaving your parking space and ind

Bowl. but at least the police will let
you get there. Coming back. It 10
something else again. for 1t every
third cross street you are turned OF
your intended road and sent cropping
down roads which you have never
seen before and which may lead
anywhere for all you know.
1t 10 really quite bad. You look
the ground over on the way out and
figure just how you can be smart
and sneak back without getting into
the press OF bumper-to-bumper au-
tomobilea. SO, after the game, you
start back along this proposed route
and for about six blocks you whirl
along with no other cars around you.
but Just an you are beginning to feel
gleeful the dark form Of an officer
looms ahead.
He stops you and. In spite OF your
pleas. he makes you do 4 right turn
and go down totally strange street.
You think you can fool him by turn
ing at the next intersection and
coming back onto your original route
a block or two further along. But
at the next corner II another police
man. and he makes you keep
straight on.
After few repetitions Of this you
decide to turn back toward the Bowl
and get on another street where
possibly you can come in without
interference, So you do few moro
turns and finally discover a beauti-
full, wide street with no traffic what
soever upon it. Down this you whir.
but suddenly you encounter one OF
the same cops who stopped you be-
fore, and he again diverts you to
the right and leaves you just where
you We're Is minutes before. This
in spite Of the fact that the thor
oughfare you wanted to use was
completely bare of traffic.
BY this time you are without your
grip on your temper. and any ladies
in the car are shocked at your lam
guage, 1t is also beginning to rain
and grow dark, and driving is just
about enough to rip your nerves
clean to shreds. You park. give It
up altogether for few minutes and
park by the roadside to recover your
composure.
Then you 60 on again and finally
manage TO get back to your or
ieinal route and dash past the Of
ficer before he can play tricks with
you. Yet. a street or two further
along. you are sure to find another
one who will send you feeling your
way along the highway to the left.
After an hour or so of this you
finally get through New Haven ana
on the road home again. but you will
never be able to tell anyone just how
you did it. And you will come to
the conclusion that there are Just
about three ways to come back from
the Bowl to the center In quick time:
I. Seat a Yale player or bands
man, in uniform on the hood of your
car and go smoothly past all traffic
cops.
>. BE injured and have the am
bulance lug you back.
3. start fight and come In i'm
