from the place. Entrance was gained by forcing a window. The burglars drove into an alleyway near the factory. There were po- licemen undoubtedly on duty not more than one hundred yards away. but the automobile was hid- den by row of buildings facing North Main street. The burglary was discovered by Patrolman Joseph Pannone early this morn ing. Edward Morgan, one of the brothers engaged in the business, filed a personal complaint later in the day.
 The pickpocket episode was staged at carnival held in the Town Plot sector. Anthony Mar dona of 236 Alder street com plained that while milling about with the crowd someone lifted his wallet containing $20. A chap by the name of Shannahan residing on South street complained that someone tried to relieve him of his watch, but when he grabbed hold of his time-piece and looked around he was unable to pick out the nervy light-fingered gentleman responsible. The polio checked up on both complaints, but no arrests were made
 Agnes Dohcrty of 150 Bridge street complained to the police that she left her machine parked in front of her residence last eve ming and this morning discovered that someone had removed her markers from the machine. The plate numbers are K-3633.

 Shanghai, China, July 23.-(UP) "A futile daring attempt was made to assassinate T. V. Soong, finance minister and acting presi- dent of China, on his arrival py train from Ranking to-day.
 Soong was unhurt.
 yuloo Tong, an advisor in the finance ministry, was fatally wounded and several persons were injured, including one of Soong bodyguard.
 The attack occurred at North station. terminal of the Shanghai Ranking railroad just outside the international settlement. or foreign area. of Shanghai. The assasslns threv a bomb and opened np with rifle and pistol fire as Soong ana his party stepped off the train rom the capital.
 Minister Soong threw himself 10 the ground, pretending he was hlt. The essailants fled when police ana Soong's bodyguard returned their fire.
 The minister scrambled to his feet and hurried to waiting mo- tor car. He drove to his residence in the French concession, also part of the foreign area or Shah8- hal

 The assailants fled into the nar- row. winding streets and alley ways of the native city, disappear. ing in the chapel section, north Of &ka aforementioned sptt lemeDt.
 Soong, who is 37 years old, Is acting president of the national government in the absence of Gen eral Chiang Kai-Shek, head Of the Ranking regime. Gen. Chiang IS Tn kiangsi province, south -Central China, fighting bandit-communist forces concentrated there.
 Mamoru Shigemitsu, Japanese charge d'affaires, arrived on the same train as Soong. He was out side the north station, entering his automobile when the outbreak oc- cured.
 The incident was attributed 10 the disturbed political situation. Soong is q member Of the cabi- net at Ranking controlled by Gen, Chiang Kai-Shek, head of the gov ernment founded there during the revolution m hpTll, IoG (.
 A bitter feud between the "Chiang -Soong dynasty at Ranking and opposition members of the government has resulted in dis sension and the ablishment of an insurgcnt government at Cam ton.

The unusual report of pick pockets operating in Waterbury featured today's list of complaints at police headquarters and com peted with the story of burglary for first honors. AS far as cash value was concerned the burglars outpointed the dips by 10 to ] margin

Wheat For Industry

Perhaps no one has yet taken a long enough view of the agricultural situation. Most of the relief measures suggested have more weak points than strong ones. Leg islstion hasn't worked, yet. up to now. and there are many thoughtful persons who be- lieve it never can help Urging farmers to curtsl certain crops in which there is over production. doesn't get anywhere. Even if American farmers could somehow figure out exactly who should raise wheat and exactly how much. that wouldn't solve the problem until every wheatgrowing country in the world had done the same thing
 Individual farmers can help themselves somewhat by going back temporarily to the kind of farming that is self-sustaining-a type that has pretty nearly vanished in this mass production era. Such step. however. seems to deny the wisdom of efficient, ma chine helped agriculture. and would be re- garded by many as backward movement It means raising food crops instead of money crops.
 Garet Garrett, writing in recent Satur- day Evening Post. offers more sensible so- lution. which. periodically. calls first for Still greater Ptouuetlon' the su1PiuS 10 pe used by industrial chemistry. Industry needs and can absorb vast amount of such materials more than it uses now. At present, he says. our agricultural surplus, though cheap enough to ruin many farmers. is not cheap enough to convert into earbo- hydrate chemicals in competition with syn thetic chemicals. A little more money spent on research work along this line, and yet more economical production by the farmer. would convert his worthless surpluses into new wealth.

Here, There And Eueryvhere

soughly enjoyed. The plan might work. People travel far to see the roses at Elizabeth Park.
 It was not, however, with the in- tention of increasing custom that twenty-five years ago $5,00O was appro priated to beautify the road way between South Mount Vernon and Mount Vernon. N. Y. There was no historical allusion to prim- rose paths or anything else, as there Is to ancient wars in the bor- der along the highway between York and Lancaster, Penn. There was not even a thought given to roses as an emblem of neetness. They were set as any house-owner might place them on his lawn, for beautys sake. The first planting was on the north side of steep grades where grass would not grow. It soon became apparent to. engineers that the roots held the loose soil in place and so served to check erosion. This discovery went far to spread roses along the steel ways. Now the passenger goes not like a conqueror or king over | path strewn with rose-leaves but between rose bushes, like some hap py person walking in garden or in those rocky pastures of New England where the wild rose four ishes.
 Could not horticulture be even further turned to engineering pur- poses? It would not do probably to use red peoples for danger signals now and again; yet they have the color and the connotation and they too, would check erosion.

EXPRESS HIGHWAY FOR
 CONNECTICUT

Motorists of Connecticut who have sped along the four-way ex- press highway between New York and Philadelphia, feel cramped when they return to Connecticut roads, which is one reason why there is general interest around the state in the coming Merritt Highway in Fairfield county. This is to be an "express" route that will be located somewhere inside of 6 strip running ten miles north from Stratford lighthouse and pro- ceeding due westward to the New York state line.
 Already some towns are getting worried for fear the speedway will cross their populous areas, which would appear foolish because the primary purpose of such a road is to avoid congested centers. The idea Is to build the road in the open and thus permit rapid move | ment of trafIlc with minimum dan gers, along the lines of the New York -Phillie highway.
 The town of Trumbull has acted forehandedly in notifying the high way department that 1t will object | to any layout that would bring the road within the built-up centers.
 Commissioner Macdonald started surveys for the highway with a choice of three routes, which would frustrate plans of any one set of property holders from get ting unreasonable prices for land that the state would have to take.
 The Merritt highway will be a notable piece of highway construc- tion in Connecticut and when 1t is completed there is every reason to expect that the wider, faster road will be extended to the north.

Big Defense Costs

The last fiscal year was a distressing one economically and financially. Yet the na- tions of the world spent $4, 58,000,0O0 for national defense. That sum is more than the amount spent in the preceding year by $l00.000,000 The seventh issue of the armaments year book of the League of Nations gives the figures. The information was gathered from 60 different governments. most of which will participate in the gen eral disarmament conference next February.
 The United States leads the list with ar mament expenditures of more than $700, 100000. The Soviet Union comes next with over $578.O 100000. France is third with S446.980000. and Great Britain fourth with S465,255,0O0 Those are tidy sums. If any considerable portion of them were ntelligenty devoted to constructive uses education, health. the arts, research in the physical and social sciences - it should go far toward lifting the world out of its despondency, insuring peace and pro- noting better distributed prosperity,

Too Much Government

In echong the criticism of democratic legislators Senator Bingham has made the pertinent remark that Uncle Sam will have to stop competing with private enterprise in the future if he IS to keep the good will of his subjects. Of course the urbane Mir Blng- ham did not put it in those words, but the sentiment is much the same. lie did say that the government should keep out Of business By that we presume he means all business. although we don't see how many agencies could mint the coin of the realm any more skillfully or transport mail from one end of the country to the other more expedtiously, However, Senator Bingham was concerned with the slow-as- moasses- winter speed of the government with regard to the new federal buildings in this state.
 The government has S700. 100000 ln- volved in projects in this state, nine in all. Postoffices in various cities Waterbury, Hartford, Bridgeport. New Britain. constl- ute the greater part of the work. We all know the red tape that surrounded the choice of site in this city, not to mention the selection of building for temporary postoffice. Waterburlans probably won believe that they are getting a. new postoffIee until they see the old structure reduced 10 dust and the new one actually growing to- ward the sky. The same holds true for the other Connecticut cities which have labored long and tirelessly for their new buildings.
 Senator Bingham has no fault to find with the Treasury Department, which has charge of the public buildings program. l hat is he doesn't blame any individual official. He claims that bureaucracy IS the real fault. In that view he aligns himself with many prominent democrats. among them Cover nor Ritchie The latter has endeavored to point out that the federal government IS taking over too many states rights. How :ver. it seems to be the spirit of the times The federal government eneroaches upon he state and the state upon the city. he DOT taxpayer gets it in the eye. lie foots ne bill eventually. While we must regret he seemingly endless parleying that preeedes he actual carrying out of the government building program Supposed to aid unem- ,oyment) we don't see where we can do 1uch about it when the men we send down Washington can't themselves. In fact -e often believe they are responsible for the delays in governmental procedure If they didn't engage in so much pickering to pay political debts many. government sgen- cies might not be forced to advance by fits and starts
