BOOM NEEDED

Nothing IS 90 disheartening as 10 be handicapped in the execution of project by some physical barrier The mute inglorious Miltons" might have rivalled Paradise Lost" had they but known the art of rhyme Some lad might have crossed the Atlantic before Lindbersh if he had only owned a plane, Many men might have accumulated fortunes if they but had the necessary capital to enter some venture al just the right time,
 In New Britain there is one insl- tution which is more hampered oy physical barriers than possibly any other. II s the museum and art gal lery of the New Britain Institute. Nc one can estimate the good it could accomplish if it but had proper facilities. Its most outstanding handicap is 4 lack Of space.
 There is in the museum a credit able collection Of natural history ex- hibits as well as several cases of coins, old books and other curios. Just how many other things tine museum owns but can not exhibit because of cramped quarters is rot known. How many gifts, loans and purchases it could get together if # but had room is problematical, but it is certain that many people re- siding here would gladly give or lend the museum antiques if they were certain that the loans would be ex- hibited advantageously.
 That New Britain appreciates the museum can not be questioned. The number Of visitors who examine it's exhibits every day shows that there is g keen interest in what the insti. tute offers. All that IS needed IS more room.

LON CHANEY

Lon Chaney probably the great est of the motion picture character actors" IS dead. Lon Clancy whose skill in makeup led 10 a succession ot tribute paying jokes which cul- minated in Don't kill that spidtr. Il may be Lon Chaney.' But Chaney's work was no joke to him, nor was II to tho vast American audience which awaited each of his new chsracteri- cations with enthusiastic expectancy.
 Clancy was the master Of make up, it is true, but his arr vas deeper than that, No matter how horrIbly he disguised himself with wigs warts, false teeth, and spinal de formiues, his humanity penetrated these devices and won the sym pathy Of all Uho saw him. For these fear fuI beings whom he portrayed be- came, due 10 his art, no longer hot- rendous monsters but, instead, un- fortunate humans behind whose malformsd exteriors there beat hearts which were warm and genu- inc. That Chaney's humanity shont though these disguises was perhaps the greatest evidence of his ability and true character.
 He vas palnstaking and con- scienuous workman and ? hen, in his first "talliie" and what proved 10 be his last film he was called upon to play a character which called for several voices, he spoke all the parts. even going 10 the extreme, We are told, Of performing real yen- trlioquism when this was call cd for, But NC are also told that this strain contributed to the Hines. that brought his death

CLARENCE SEYMOUR AS 4 CONGRESSIONAL POSSIBILITY

Further com plications in the Con- zressional situation in which New Britain is particularly interested have come about through the an- rounCement that efforts are under way to attempt the nomination of Clarence W. Seymour. of Hartford, for Congress from this district on the Republican ticket E. Hart Penn. Of Wetharsfeld, present incumbent has already announced that he will be candidate for the nomination. In addition it is well known that Mayor George Quigley is eager for an opening in the Congressional ranks. though it IS doubtful that he has the strength to carry on an active pre-convention campaign against Tenn. On the Democratic side of the political fence ex-Mayor Paonessa, of this city, is very anxious for the nomination and is at least the leading contender in the neld at this period.

THE F. R. C. IN THE DARK

In order for the Federal Radio Commission 10 determine tho pub lie attitude toward radio broadcast irs il must hear from the public. Mighty few of the public ever bother about writing to the r. R. (. A dis- gruntled listener occasionally may write to l radio station. but the lat Ter IS not likely to turn over the let ter 10 the F. R. C. Hence the govern ments regulatory commission may be regarded as being pretty well in the dark as 10 the public attitude toward the radio,
 IL is believed in Washington that the attitude of most radio addicts IS that when a program is objection able, they either tune in on another station or turn of the radio, and in the main they do not become sGf1- cicntly aroused 10 make complaint 10 the r. R. C.
 If this is the case then the pub lie is partly 10 blame for whatever conditions it doesn't like. If the F. R. C. were inundated with flood Of letters written by folks who took the time 10 say why they were not getting their moneys worth out Of their investment the entire radio in- dustry in the long run might be benefited. and the programs would take on 2 marked improvement.

 ON HOOVER RECORD
Fess Declares Support Of Presi.
 dent Is Campaign Issue

Washington, Aug. 26 (UP) - The record of President Hoover has been offered as the republican ie- sue in the congressional election campaign, apparently with his own knowledge and consent.
 In d comprehensive radio speech ! last night, Senator Simeon Fess of Ohio, new chairman of the republi- can national committee, made clear that he considered the presidents | leadership, policies and accomplish ments the particular question be- fore the people in the election of the new congress.
 The Ohio senator cited in detail the enactment of the farm relief and tariff laws and the organiza- ton work done by the president to meet the business and drought situations All the accomplishments of the party he laid at the door of the chief executive whom he called "the engineer, the builder, the lead CT" possessing ''transcendental ability as an organizer"
 Indicates Party "Dryness"
 Although he had announced pre- viously he did not consider prohib- ton a campaign issue. Fess praised Mr. Hoovers strong stand" on en- forcemcnt. It was the first mention of ;, +, of the fight for control of congress.
 In this connection, Fess praised the presidents efforts for law en- forcement and the treaties neeoti. ated with Canada to curb rum smuggling.
 The economic depression, Fes. said. is the result of world wide speculation" and not the fault of the administration.
 Tried to Avert Panic"
 The administration made every effort through the federal reserve board" he said, "to warn against the speculation mania. but it's inn petus was beyond all control, and the inevita ble crash came in the collapse of stock exchange prices with losses to thousands of inno. cent persons"
 Mir. Hoover's leadership. he add cd saved the collapse from being much worse. Essential credits were insured through the reserve board and the business of the country was mobilized in White House conference.
 Cites Farm Relief Act
 A sound farm relief law was en- acted. Fess said. The tariff he con- tended, was in the interest Of America and against foreign inter- ests. He said the widely heralded promise Of foreign retaliation has been proved myth. Inland vatT- ways, the London arms treaty and child welfare improvement he also listed among the achievements of the president.
 While he was speaking, the democratic publicity headquarters here announced Senator Connallv, democrat. Texas. would speak over the same radio network next Mon- day night on Spokesman Fess and the Grundy tariff.

SMOkE-EATERS AND SPEEDING

Moments are valuable in getting tC a fire but there are times when i, is doubtful that the time savld makes up for the danger created by speeding fire trucks on their way through the city streets en route 1c the scene of the conflagration, par ticularly when the objective is Tn Berlin and there is no warning that the heavy pieces of apparatus are on their way.
 Sunday morning, as churcha s along the way were disgorging their congregations onto the highway, q fire occurred at the Donnelly Brick yards in Kensington. The New Brit ain department was notified by tele- phone, as it requires special notice from the Berlin authorities 10 call forth the apparatus from this city, and, as a consequence, there was no local alarm and no sounding of the siren to warn autoists and pedes- trians to the curbs, or to call police on the beats onto temporary traffic duty. The response 10 the fire by No. 2 company and the car Of Chief Noble thus brought about situation that was by no means safe as the route lay along South Main street where the Catholic churches were finishing q morning service. past red lights at intersecting streets. and through the usual heavy traffic as well.

It is not possible to be dogmatic about the solution to a problem with which one has only superficial ac- quaintance but it does seem that happy answer to the question would be found in turning over the entire library to the museum. This would provide ample space for it's exhibits and art for some time to come. That the building is unfit for library use is glaringly apparent to anyone.
 The cost involved in building museum would probably prejudice many against such a move but they would doubtless be in hearty accord with building new library. The present building would make an ex- cellent branch library or a fine museum if remodeled but it is not the best thing obtainable to be used as the main library in city the size Of New Britain.
 Readers using the library again and again complain because it does not have the "open shelf" system. This is not the fault of those in charge but is due to the peculiar construction of the library. The books are there and those who have the boldness can get behind the charging desk 10 get a look at them. The timid souls-and that includes q large part Of the human race merely know that there are other Looks somewhere upstairs and down. stairs but content themselves with the fiction which is placed on open shelves easily accessible.
