GRU\DN .AS \ SENATOR

Joseph R. Grundy, president Of the Pennsylvania Manufacturers As sociation. is the poplar choice of his state for senator. At least, Governor John $. Fisher of the Keystone state states that go per cent Of the tcle grams and letters he received re earqing who to appoint in the seat never occupied by William s. Ware suggested that Mr. Grundy be ap- pointed.
 Thus Pennsylvania indicates who it wants in tho Senate and tn august body which would not swal- low Ware will have an opportunity to take on Grundy. X move to oX- cludc the ultra high protectist may bo inaugrateJ but it probably win fail.

COMMUNICATED
WOULD ENCOURAGE, CHILDREN'S BELIEF IN
 SANTA CLAUS
itor New Britain Herald:

Editor New Britain Herald;
 Ii is seldom that I break into the Pro Bono Publico column but cer- tain slanderous statements crop up at this time every year and arouse my righteous indignation (thc word righteous is used advisedly). This year the islander seems so wide spread that appeal is hereby made to that powerful instrument Of pub lie opinion-the Press
 Certain Wcll-meaninG parents Of young children have thought it ad- visable 10 disillusion them as to the reality of Santa Claus. Theirs is not the logic of the Scotchman who went into his backyard the night before Christmas and shot off gun. com- ing in to tell his children that Santa Claus had been shot and therefore there would be no presents on Christmas Some of these people arc seriously concerned because the santa Claus part of Christmas is being featured and considered more than the original purpose of the celc- bration. viz. the birthday of Jesus. There is no question that in most of our homes the gift receiving at Christmas claims much more of our thought an', attention than the joy ous celebration of the birthday of Christ. But is is my observation and belief that the abolition of Santa Claus would not strengthen the faith in Jesus. l am heartily in sym pathy with the movement 10 de- crease the number of Santa Claus on our streets but when il comes to removing him cntircl., that is an other matter.
 There is very strong and. grow ing feeling that the commentaries - ton of all our holy days and na- tional holidays should be checked. II seems 10 many of us that it is nothing short of sacrileGious, for in

The first little thcaters in America were established in 1911-1&l@. Maurice Browne's little theate1 in Chicago. and Mrs. Lyman Gales Toy theatcr in Boston were founded in that soa"on. Both have now ceased fUnctioning.

part of the public which with right thinks that buses or trolleys should bring them 10 the 'center of the city" or ds close thereto as possible For years. or ever since public transportation was established in this city, the hub Of passenger transportation has been at or in the vicinity or Central park. It is doubtful whether the public will have it any other way.
 But that does not mean that the present bus terminals are satisfac- tory. Traffic is seriously aggravated by their presence, and if would be well to have a downtown bus ter mipal within reasonable distance oi the present terminals But it must b. within d reasonable distance. as those making suggestions have found out before this.
 VI III RlIt lIlIIll'I Oll0 SllS . f'Sl IDIl- made, none SO far has oecn adopt cd. The ponc" traffic depart 'eut has Wrcstled with the proplym 10 no avail.
 The ma jority Of buses operated in this city are owned by independ- ent companies. If bus terminal is osta blishod somewhere, would it be for only the independent buses but the Connecticut company? If the latter comes into tue picture the need for facilitating the use or transfers. If. for instance, a bu" terminal really were established al Main and East Main street, and the Connecticut company buses as well as the independents were to use il. q Connecticut bus passenger with q trolley lines would need 10 walk quite a distance to Central park iH order to use the transfer. On thu other hand, If only the lndcr> 1dcn' buses were to be housed q, a ter minal at the points suggested the Connecticut company would hav" complete use of the superior facili- ties around Central park. We ima- zine the independent bus owners would not like that at all; and neither would a large part of the public.
 It is a difficult question, one oi those which gives the impression that the more it is discussed the less hcadway is made toward its solving

DEAD FROM STAMPEDE

The tragic end 10 the filming of a gay night club scene in the Pathc film studio in New York once again brings to public attention the dun- gers Of a stampede in d public place when fire threatens, Most Of the dead. it has been found. were vic- tins Of the crush at CT near thc door.
 Public buildings long ago were forced ao adopt stringent regulations to avoid just that type Of tragedy There must be easy access to the street. easy access to fire escapes. and exits must be plainly marked. But most important of all is th.. need for calmncss in case of an emergency.
 The presence Of automatic fire sprinhlers would have saved life and reduced the extent of the fire ln the New York studio, It turns out that the fire department issued an "order'' for the installation of sGci: sprinklcrs last spring, but as there is no law to enforce such an order, the owners of the old buildins; saved" money by declihins to fol- tow the suggestion. They are en- titled to all the condemnation that comes to them as a result of the tragedy The costs of settling with the kin of the dead will amount to many times more than the cost ol the sprinlilers

JUDGE LINDSEY'S NEWEST IDEA

Judge Lindsey. the famed juvc. nile court jurist of Denver has con , victions and the courage to stat them. He is different from mos men in the latter respect. The ma iority has convictions Of one sort or another. but lacks the courage to stato them because Of criticism by those who arc afraid of convictions
 lis latest run-in with fellow law ycrs of his state has resulted in his lisbarmcnt He is accused of ac- ccpting money from d party to will case. and her lawyer. after the case WAS over. He vas a friend Of the family. The judge contends the money vas not in the raturc of ;t fec The State Supreme court cVi- dently believed otherwise. At this distance it is difficult to obtain a just estimate Of the controversy.
 Being disDarrcd. however. does not seem to worry Judge Lindsey very much. On the heels Of the high courts action comes the in formation that he will proceed to form q commission for the preven- tion Of divorce and the smoothing
 
 out of domestic difficulties. He pro poses to set mp commission con- sisting Of psychiatrist, Q medical specialist and specially trained lawyer. and this legal reform" wit 1 he termed The House Of Human Welfare"
 II is hccauec he had something o' the sort in view that he gained t7' crcmity of certain lawyers h" de glarcs. The dsbarrcd judge evident Iy intends to so right on attond'nt 10 marital woes through this com mission in spite Of the fact that h' is no longer a member Of the Colo redo bar. He you'd merely be 1T the position O. giving advice tt people thinking Of divorce, after hl' commission had made an eXamln aton of aII the difficulties underly ina the marital disasrcemcnts.
 The iaea, like most of those pu forward by the judge during hi long career. sparhles with nc"ness In effect it will be sort of clini for donastic difficulties. It will b. independent Of the courts bccaus it vii! not be usurping their func tions; it will merely give such ad vice calculated 10 be ot benefit L those "thinRing of divorcc.' In al probability it will prevent many divorce from being sought and thu prevent many married coupl from cutting the traces that bind.
 We rather think that this sort C thing will meet with the approval C most people, even those who locke t5l,aucu at the idea about con panionatc marriaso Anything whic s4I>agns the maTiag rc'auo when tn, tendency iS 10 sundcr
