TOWN COUNCIL
LOOKS OKAY To
J. HAM LEWIS

Senator James Hamilton Lewis
CD of Illinois, regards the
Senate District Committee as
Washington's town council"
The Senator was named to the
committee yesterday but SO far
has no ideas at all about what
he will try to do for the District
and its residents.
Asked if he would do any.
thing to make the police more
sartorially elegant, the Senatorial
fashion-plate replied:
"WelI, that is an idea, but
I'm afraid / cannot give the
District affairs much attention
just now. You know we are
still trying to break the dead
lock in organizing the Senate"
Senator Lewis chuckled every
time he referred to the CON-
mittee as the "town council"
Senator John H. Bankhead
Cd of Alabama, however, was
not so pleased. He said, when
asked if he had any plans for
District legislation:
81 have not. / did not ask
for the appointment. 1 was
merely asked to serve"

 Rages On Mussolini
 With Bitter Attack
Southern Member of Congress Surpassed All Words Spoken By General Butler and Called Some Hard Names

in git over Italy and who dares to ebrutally run over a child and then say what is one life in the affairs of state?'
 'Where is this proud American spirit which used to be the boast of our country. The people are sick and tired of this toadytng to foreign governments"
 Hefln attacked the Italian govern ment for conferring the title of Count" on Anthony Campagni of New York, leader of the Fascist movement in the United States.
 While word of Mussolini's accept ance of the apology was being re- ceived at the state department and Heflin was attacking Mussolini more bitterly than did Butler, the marine general went ahead with plans for his defense before the court-martial he must face.
 He retained Major Henry Leonard, U. $. M. C., retired, of Washington. D. C., to defend him. It was under stood preliminary plans for the de- fense call for the appearance of Cornelius Vanderbilt Jr, as perhaps the star witness. Vanderbilt is re- portedly the "Amermican friend" of Butler who is said to have motored through Italy with Mussolini and to have witnessed the alleged incident of the striking of the child by Mus solini's automobile which Butler de- scribed. Vanderbilt is now in Tuc- son, Ariz, where he has refused to make any statement.

Most Bitter Arraignment of Any Foreign Power Ever Heard in the Halls of Congress = Calls His Own Government for Making Apology

Washington, Jan 3O.-(UP)-- Premier Mussolini of Italy was de- nounced in the senate to-day by Sem ator Thomas Heflin, dem, Ala, as a mad monarch" and fred handed tyrant" at whose order 137 Italians had been murdered in a single night.
 This denunciation--one of the sharpest ever made in the halls of congress against 8 foreign official followed within an hour after Italian Ambassador De Martino had con veyed to Secretary of State Stimson, Mussolini's acceptance of the Amer ican official apology for Major Gen. eral Smedley Buffers recent remarks about Mussolini.
 Butler stands under arrest await ing of navy court martial whose proceedings may be secret. He had called Mussolini. in effect a "hit- and-run" driver who scoffed at the death of an individual when com pared with affairs of state. Also he had referred to the Italian pre- mier as one of the mad dogs" of Europe.
 Heflin. manifestly taking Buffers statements for positive fact. decried what he called ''kow-towing to a foreign monarch.
 That's the monarch" Heflin shouted, "who is lOrding it over Italy and who dares brutally to run over a ckild and then say What is one life in the affairs of state.'
 "I can't understand why we should apologize to Mussolini,' he said. q would investigate the facts before subjecting this great general to humiliation"
 Referring to press accounts of the apology and Buffers arrest and ci- tation for court martial, Heflin said ::
 This great American general is under arrest and is going to be court -martialed. He must bow down in the dust and apologize to the most red handed tyrant on the face ot the earth"
 Heflin said that three weeks ago he had stood in his place revealing facts. never disputed. of Italians murdered at the instance of Musso- lini."
 The senator alleged that 137 had been killed in one night.
 "I am tired of this kow-towing to the n1onarchs of the old world, Heflin said.
 Why should General Butler he condemned for decrying such a brutal act?
 What are we coming to? This great American general is not all lowed to talk to any of his friends until this great, great matter is set tied What are we coming to?
 "Why don't the people of Itay take up arms and rebel from this hatred government? They haven't got any arms
 That's the monarch who IS lord

WATERVILLE
ROAD IN
 HIGHWAY SYSTEM
ThOnlaStOn Avenue Is Main Artery for NOrth=
 Bound Traffic

Waterville residents are watching with much interest the progress of bill recently submitted to the general assembly. stipulating that Thomas ton avenue, from it's intersection with West Main street to the city line, near Greystone road, be re- stored to the trunk highway list of the state highway department Such action was taken several years ago, but for some reason, so far uncX- plained, it was removed in 1929. Sen ator Joseph H. Lawlor was requested to submit the bill.
 The matter is of unusual interest at the moment because of the poor condition of the highway. The late Edward F. Bradley, as superintend- ent of streets, performed an excel lent piece of temporary relief. when he had the highway repaired last year, putting it in better condition than at any time in several years. This work will, of course. have to be repeated each year under increaS- ingly adverse conditions.
 The move to replace the highway in the trunk-line system is. fankly. an effort on the part of the city to avoid the heavy expense of repair ing this three mile stretch-a job which must be undertaken in the near future. This move is entirely as it should be. since the highway is the only main traffic artery to the north and carries. proportionally much more through traffic than the average city street. For this reason the most permanent-and conse- quently more. costly type of paving must be laid.
 The present road-one of the first concrete highways laid in Connecti- cut-was built in 1915 and has given remarkable service in spite of the tremendously increased strain of modern traffic as compared to condi- tions a decade and a half ago. A new road has now become necessary, of a wider and sturdier type to meet modern conditions.
 Local interest seems high since it is realized that any hope for con- struction of a new highway in the near future lies in the inclusion of the stretch in the trunk-line system. FairmOunt Club Asks Protection for
 Pupils.
 Representative of the Fairmount Community club are planning to re- uest the board of police commis- sioners to provide an officer to do traffic duty near the Huntingdon avenue bridge during the hours when school children are passing to and from school. This action is the direct result of the tragic accident which early this week claimed the life of siX-year old Philip Atherton. who was crushed by a motor truck as he attempted to cross the street on his way hone to lunch from school.
 It is pointed out that there is nearly as much need for a patrol man at the west end of the bridge as on Thomaston avenue where one has done duty opposite the school for several years.
 The lack of sidewalks on Hunt ingdOn avenue from Thomaston ave- nue to Colonial avenue is also held by Community club officials to be largely responsible for the hazardous conditions created by the swarming of children over the highway on their way to and from school. Side walks at this point are included in the program of public improvements for Fairmount in 1881 and are to be sought from the board of works.

BETHLEHEM

II wish I were out in the country where there is enough to eat," said one of Waterbury's unemployed to the correspondent The writer at tempted to explain that conditions out in the country are not as rosy as they appear to city people who do not visualize form life correctly. The Waterbury shopper whose pur- chasing power has not been impaired supplies her table with new cabbage and other vegetables from Calllor- nia, Texas and Florida while farm CTS hereabouts have cellars full of vegetables which they are unable to market. The unemployed can not buy them and those who can give more attention to satisfying their exact ing appetites than to the problem of how local farmers are to market their products.
 And jobs out in the country are not very plentiful. Wood chopping has decreased as coal and oil Durn- CTS increase and ice cutting has di- unfinished with the advent of elec- tric refrigeration. And even snow does not pile up any more on the country roads and supply work for the jobless. A winter saw mill job or two have furnished employment III past years. but the demand for lum- Der and railroad ties is negligible. A local saw mill owner was around yesterday soliciting orders from farmers, expecting to start job in the Nonnewaug district in another week, providing he secures enough orders to warrant setting up his mill.
 A home demonstration meeting under the auspices of the I.itchheld County Farm bureau will be held at the home of Mrs E. B. Osborne Mon- day afternoon at 1:3O o'clock. ln- struction will be given in the making of lamps and shades.
 Mrs Charles Woodward is confined to her home by illness.
 There will be a celebration of the holy communion at Christ church Sunday morning at 9 o'clock.
