Dr F. Scott Mcbride. as well as other Washington notabes. hailed Governor Cross proposal for Constitutional Convention to repeal the 9th amendment in rather scath-
 ing terms He said it was both "imprac
 tcable and impossible" A bigger man than Mcbride will ever be. though, believed in such procedure. We refer to Abraham Lin coin to whose remarks and thoughts on Constitutional Conventions Governor Cross referred in his inaugural address. Dr Me
 Bride also said. The possibility that a Con- stitutional Convention will ever be called is very remote. The public has very general aversion to tinkerng with the Constitution and an even greater dstaste for Constitution al Conventions. The chief trouble with such convention is that it cannot be linn ited to prohibition or any other one phase.
 Right you are. Doctor Yet you and num- Der of your associates saw fit to tinker with the Constitution and write into it the pres ent 9th amendment. Why haven't those of us who fail to see where the 9th amend ment has produced true temperance In thls

In To-day's Mail Present Art Exhibition at Mattatuck Historical Society is Highly
 Praised

Editor Democrat:
 The Mattatuck Historical associa- tion has opened its annual exhibition of paintings and water colors. and this year the show is by a group of conservative American artists. Through the generosity of the Mac beth gallery of New York, art lov- CTS and patrons have an opportunity to view objective art as executed by many famous American artists. For long period art galleries
 magazines and newspapers have been filtered with so-called examples of "modern art". "Cubism", the geo. metrical monstrosity which was vogue with numerous "art lovers. and which required the hieroglyphi- cal brain and accrobatic body To
 attempt an interpretation of this so-called art painting, has passed. The horizon of nature has drowned on that fad of recent times.
 Modern art that violates true ana tomical and structural relations, that gives false ascriptions of objects to space, that are scenicized by glowing colors, are just "cover-ups." They are the results of mental hallucin- ation or temporary alteration of the mind of some modern artist who gives us, not objective art as it comes from nature. but from a hectic brained artist who will not paint pictures as he sees them. Rather he goes into a trance which nobody else can understand. I wonder if he can: And so 1t is great relief to go to this splendid exhibition of conserva- tive paintings and view the show with ease of mind, much pleasure. and great educational gain to the art lover. There is great diversity of pictures shown. landscapes. sea- scapes, still lifes and portraiture; there are 22 paintings and IA water colors.
 It would be difficult matter for this article to differentiate their
 merits. as that would be to consider art appreciation, the subject. size and hanging place. MT Haddon, the energetic director. has collected an
 unusually fine exhibit for this year, and well worth several visits. The exhibit will continue during Janu- ary. week days from 10 am. to D. m. D. M.

William M. Citron of Middletown will guide the destinies of the democrats in the House of Representatives in the coming ses- ship that the minority party will give good account of itself. He is veteran legislator and can be expected to hold up his side of the coming legislative battle. But from the way Governor Cross speaks and republican leaders respond there may be no legislative battles in 193l. The work of making and unmaking laws is expected to proceed smoothly. Perhaps so. but we'll wager that party lines will be drawn before one week of skirmishng has passed.

Digest of Who's Who and Whats What
 By RODNEY BUTCHER
DAILY WASHINGTON LETTER

!, forces vii be opposed to the ad- ministratiOn and the more likely it appears that the administration n will block the measures in question through its house control. the more Likelihood there is of an extra ses- sion in which the anti-administra- tion 72d congress would so into action.
 Three Big Issues Some of the controversial issues are:
 l. Lame duck legislation. The house has had the Norris resolu- tion-amending the constitution to bring each newly elected congress into session in the January follow ing electionTpigeon-h -holed for more than year. It has been formulat- ing an amendment of it's own, but 1t begins to appear as if the house leaders were unwilling to let even that come to a vote. The senate progressives will demand action one way or the other. probably using the threat of forcing an extra ses- sion.
 2. Unemployment The Wagner bill providing for a federal aid sys- tenn of state employment agencles has been shelved in the house and the Wagner bill providing for ad- vance planning of public construc- l tion ha sbeen passed by the house in an ineffective form. Proges- sives demand passage of both in the form in which they were passed by the senate.
 3. Muscle Shoals. The house also
 has the Norris bill providing for government operation of that proj- ect. It's leaders would like a pri- vate operation bill. such as is fa- vored by President Hoover, although Chairman Bert Shell of the rules
 committee says house majority apparently favors the Norris meas ure.
 About the only way senators can get the house leaders to agree to permit votes on these measures is to use the extra session threat.
 Since Senator Borah declared him. self in favor of an extra session. l the likelihood that the weapon will
 be employed has increased.
 The method would be to block
 the anual supply bills which give
 the government money on which to
 operate. With the emergency relief
 measures out of the way. demo-
 crats and progressives can do that
 without being accused of playing
 politics with human misery" And
 the progressives, especially. have
 now been goaded to the point where lthey are unlikely to hesitate.

Washington.-Those as likes fire works In midwinter and have been disa appointed in their congress dur ing December, are entitled to antici-

 The possibilities have become al- most unlimited, what with the sen- ate progressive stirred to new pin

 Of course, the senate will be by all odds the main attraction be- cause the house is still so thor oughly controlled by the regular republicans.

 "Armisticc" Ended The hell-raisers of the senate were straining at the leash all along. The one thing that has restrained them from leaping upon the administra- | ton and seeking to rend it has been
 the fact that December was devoted to emergency relief legislation which
 no one dared or cared to obstruct. With that type of legislation fin-

 pitious time to give it's enemies a
