The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-09-18

Indianapolis, Ind.-Education is the best weapon to use in fighting the spread of communism and other subversive movements in the United States, in the opinion of the National Americanism Com mission of the American Legion. The commissions annual report, prepared for the Detroit national convention, September 21 to "A, said it was unwise to openly com- bat communism because of the in- creased interest that is aroused through direct opposition.
 Communists thrive on nega- tive energy expended by patriotic groups or individuals" the report said. "In other words, the move ment is aided every time martyr is made of one of its speakers. 1t is a well-known fact that when the communistic party starts one of it's speakers the itinerary is placed

primarily through the youth of the nation, the report said. They realize that men and women of adult age are not easily led to new and false doctrines, the re- port said, and that youth offers a fertile soil for their activities.
 "One wing of the organization makes a concentrated drive upon our schools and the other wing works upon our churches" the re- port added. They are seeking to implant in youth disrespect for the
 home, for our government and for
 religion. It is hardly conceivable
 but it is a deplorable fact that they are making some headway with their pernicious, sinister teach- ings."

ELYSEE PALACE
 HISTORIC PLACE

Paris, (UP).-There is probably no residence in Paris whose walls have witnessed a more varied as- sortment of sights, or gone through a more weird succession of changes than those of the winter residence of the president of the republic.
 During the chief executives sum- mer sojourn at Rambouillet, the Elysee Palace underwent a com plete repainting of it's masonry.

The response of the Waterbury public to sensation al clearance of Odds and Ends and Floor Samples has surpassed all our widest expectations! We never dreamt the turnout would be great!

MementO of American
STAINED FRAGMENT OF WAR PLANE BROUGHT FROM FRANCE
BY GRETCHEN SMITH.

A small strip of material, which once
covered the rudder OF plane OF the
Lafayette Escadrille, stained with the
blood of an American boy, has been
brought with loving and reverent care
70 washington by the Marquise de
Chambrun who, with the marquis, the
great-great-grandso of Gen Lafayette,
arrived in the United States to attend
the recent celebration at yorktown.
The delivery of the relic to the rel
atives Of the young American. Ronald
Wood Hoskier. formerly Of East Orange,
N. j.. constitutes to the marquise
sacred trust given into her keeping by
French war veteran. who for IA
years has guarded the memento OF the
Americans sacrifice with an almost
plus fidelity.
The French veteran. Henri Bourril-
lon, now mayor of Mende, in the prov.
fnce Of Lozere, brought the fragrant OF
the crashed plane, bearing the trt-colors
of France. to the marquis and the mar
ouise shortly before their departure for
the United States. and requested that
the souvenir be delivered to the rela-
tives of Aviator HoSkier, IL they might
be found. The marquise de Chambrun,
whose husband Is a representative from
the district of Mayor Bourrillon, gladly
accepted the mission requested OF her,
rot only through ner sympathy Will
Mayor Bourrillon's desire. but because
of the fact that she Is OF American
parentage.
Unwrapping the piece of material for
which M. Bourrillons wife had lovingly
made a silk lined velvet covering, the
mayor told his story to the marquise.
Scene Near st. Quentin.
He brought back vivid scenes Of an
afternoon in April, in 1917. when as a
sergeant of French Infantry, he was
intrenched with his regiment near st
Quentin Suddenly, he saw q plane,

FOR NEW U. S. CAR TAX
No Industry Il Harder Hit by De-
preston, Association State
ment Says.

Any plan by the Federal Government
be opposed by the American Automobile
Association.
Reported intention to restore the war
excise tax on motor vehicles as an aid
to balancing the budget drew an asso-
citation protest that mo American in
dustry has been harder hit by the de-
preston" and that Treasury tntima-
tons" automobile taxes are nominal are
based on false assumptions"
The motor vehicle, the association
said, already pays 1873 per cent per
annum of its valuation, bears "a very
large share" Of road costs and has CON
tributed more than n billion dollars in
the form Of excise taxes, which prac-
tically balances the total outlay in Fed
eral highway aid to date"

by three German planes. A fight en-
sued, the French plane crashed, and
fell closely behind the trench where
the Sergeant's regiment had witnessed
the engagement.
Several men. among them Sergt.

plane, and from out the debris brought
Never in my life," Mayor Bourrillon
told the marquise, had I been so
touched as at the sight of that young
American boy, whose blood was rapidly
staining the colors of France, as he

lay close 70 the tri-colored rudder
where he had been placed after his
removal from the plane"
Major Bourrillon also told me-" re-
lated Nine de Chambrun, that In the
plane he found two machine-gun car
tridges, one Of which showed that his
gun had jammed apparently when he
tried to Are. The damned cartridge
explained why he had been brought
down."
After night had fallen Sergt. Bour-
rillon had seen the body Of the young
American carried back of the lines by
French stretcher bearers.
Memory Is Kept.
In death the sergeant had met his
hitherto unknown young American
comrade. and in memory Of their meet
ing he had carefully cut from the
rudder Of the crashed plane q strip of
the tri-colored material. spotted so pro-
fusely with the eloquent stains.
"I should like his relatives to have
the memento," Mayor Bourrillon ex-
planned to the mArquise. The mayor
had soon after the crash obtained the
name and birthplace of Hoskier.
Nine de Chambrun expressed her
hope to locate relatives of Ronald
Hoskier to officials of the State De-
partment. Steps were Immediately
taken to trace the present whereabouts
Of the young mans family, and it was
learned yesterday that a former resi-
dent of East Orange, H. c. Hoskier, the
only person by that name to have re-
sided there, had left the United States
about two years ago and was now re-
siding in Trinity, the Jersey Islands,
part Of the Channel Islands, between
England and France.
It is believed that H. C.. HoSkier is
Ronald Hoskier'S father, and as a con-
sequence the piece Of cloth will once
again be carried across the ocean by
the Marquise de la Chambrun to be
delivered to the father Of the American
boy who gave his life for France.

HOPPE To TAKE
NEEDED REST

Willie Hoppe will withdraw
from billiards for at least two
months and rest on a farm in
California. Hoppe, who suffered
severe attack Of influenza
while giving exhibitions in Iowa,
has not fully recovered and has
been advised by his physician to
recuperate IN the open.
When Hoppe opened an exhibi-
ton against Augie Kieckhefer he
was quite i'll and after each
block returned to his hotel. He
remained in Chicago for two
weeks and defeated Kieckhefer,
600 to 534 in SGT innings, and
then won a triangular tourna-
ment from Welker Cochran and
Kieckhefer, winning seven Of
eight games.
The condition of Hopes
health was made known whe1
the famous billiardist received
challenge from Johny Layton,
10 times holder of the worlds
three-cushion crown, for a special
600-point match. Hoppe refused,
the first time he ever failed to
consider challenge from any bill
liardist.
81 am sorry l cannot engage
in hard match at this time"
Hoppe said. my health has
been poor for some time and
have been advised to go
West and rest. My exhibition
with Cochran will last until the
end of June and will end in
California. When 1 have full
filled my obligations l shall
retire to farm for at least two
months"

FOXX FINALLY
HITTING

Babe Ruth predicted that
Jimmy Foxx would not hit 300
this season and for several weeks
it looked as if the Babe knew
what he was talking about. FoXX
read the opinion and said nothing
The Maryland farmer could not
tell on what basis Ruth had fig
ured he would suffer, possibly be-
cause he thought the new ball
would aid speed pitchers, and
FoxX has his troubles with the
smoke throwers.
Just Began to Hit
Foxx started out as if he would
not hit 200. and it was not until
the present home stay of the
champions was under way that he
began to climb He is still under
the 300 mark, but is bound to
cut through this week.
In the slump FOxx kept plug
g1ng away. He was not diSCOur-
aged because he was unable to
hit the ball safe. His drives had
all his old power back of them,
but they were going straight at
the fielderS.
Now and then he would insert
home run. Of late the circuit
drives are popping off his bat as
they did when the Mackmen we're
hustling for the flag last season.
Foxx is confident that he will
get his hits as he did in 1880, de-
spite the poor start he made this
season. He is now up in the lead
of the home-run hitters of his
circuit and his ambition is to
come home in front of Babe
Ruth this year.
