The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-07-23

Starting August l the motor vehicle de- partment will conduct statewide survey of traffic conditions with the view of speeding up where congestion now rei2ns. This sur vey is intended primarily to solve the problem of weekend or holiday traffic which moves jerkily in certain parts of the state. Fourteen stations are being established throughout the state for this purpose and 10 to 5 men will be employed for period of three months in checking up the flow of traffic past these points at all hours of the day and night. The figures obtained should give the author itles fairly accurate reading of the passage of traffic through the state and between cities. It will also show just where there are faulty local traffic rules misplaced traffic lights. and other such means that might inter fere with the smooth flow of traffic during the rush hours. There are no stations in the vicinity of Waterbury. the nearest one being Danbury. People know what it is for traffic to be tied up in this city at the rush hours. We'll. the same thing applies on larger scale to the state when one town or particular road holds up long lanes of holiday
 traffic. To produce an even flow of vehicles all factors must cooperate not conflict.

SHUTDOWN OF .

Oklahoma Governor May Issue
. Order With Drastic Provis-
ions for Its Enforcement

SSSs "tHN ~ OSSS SSNS
ions for Its Enforcement
OKLAHOMA CITY, July %
UN.S).-In a somewhat cryptic
statement, Gov. W. H. Murray
yesterday encouraged the be-
lief that he is on the verge Of
issuing an order for the complete
shutdown of oil wells of the State
with drastic provisions for its en-.
1orcement. He said:
maybe shouldn't wait for
Texas to take action. When 1
issue my order, I'll burn all
my bridges behind me. don't
think Texas will make any head
way with its prOratiOn act"
EIay Call troops
The report gained currency that
Governor Murray might employ
the National Guard if there is any
resistance to the shutdown order
There Is wide speculation in oil
circles here as to the effect a gen
eral closing of wells would have
on companies with contracts to
fill, and on refiners depending on
their own production in the Okla.
homa fields.
Commission Criticized
Governor Murray criticized the
Kansas Public Service Commission
for shooting ahead of time" with
its suggestion for a general shut
down in that State, and also cen.
Sured the Continental Oil Com
pany for posting a higher price
before he had an opportunity to
move to correct the situation.
Regardless of whatever action
the chief executive may take, wells
continued to be shut down by
their owners today. Seventy-five
per cent of the productive area,
equivalent to 80 per cent Of the
production Of the Oklahoma City
field, was brought under the shut,
down program.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-10-09
BY MILES W. VAUGHN

Tokio, Oct 9-(UP)-Bombin ping at Chinchow, dispatch of warships to China and militant warning that China must protect lives and property of Japanese residents in- dicated today that the military had outweighed the peaceful intentions of the foreign office.
 Some political quarters expected the government of Premier Baron Reijiro Wakatsuki to resign in view of its inability to over-rule the warlike activities of the army.
 More than score of vessels will be sent to Shanghai, Hankow, Nan king and other Chinese ports.
 The official warning to China and the Nanking government would be held responsible for fail- ure to suppress the Chinese boy colt against Japanese goods and for failure to protect lives and property of Japanese.
 It appeared that General Honjo, commanding Japanese forces which occupied Mukden and the south Manchurian railway zone in Man. churia, ordered the bombing of Chinchow, provisional Chinese headquarters in Manchuria, at his own discretion. The foreign office previously had instructed the com- mander to do nothing to aggrevate the Manchurian situation.
 s'If the Chinese government will

not take measures for the suppress sion of the boycott movement and if it fails to fulfill the duties of protection of life, property, and benefits of Japanese residents, the Chinese government will be held responsible for all results" the note to the Nanking government said.
 The note said "the recent chal- lenge to Japanese troops" com pelled the nation to resort to means of self-defense. Japan claimed "the greatest forebearance" in dealing with China.
 Bombing of Chinchow brought relations between Japan and China to the most dangerous point since the Tsinan incident of 1928 when Japanese and Chinese soldiers fought in Shantung province with heavy casualties on both sides.
 The foreign office appeared to be throwing the full weight of its in- fiuence for peaceful methods and solution of differences through diplomatic channels, but the army always a strong factor in Jap anese political and social 1ife-ap- peared determined to force some sort of demonstration in Manchu- ria.
 Observers feared the entire peaceful foreign policy of foreign Minister Baron K. Shidehara was endangered.
 The army for months sought in- cidents to support it's contention that "China must be taught les son." The case of Capt Shintaro Makamura, a Japanese army officer on leave reported murdered in Mongolia "by Chinese soldiers" suited the needs of the militarists exactly. Satisfactory details of the captains disappearance were not printed in the Japanese press and the body was recovered, but the newspapers accepted the army's statement of proof that Capt Naka- mura was murdered.
 The press was soon filled with

ROCKNE FILM
 COMES TOSTATE
Spirit of N0tre Dame" Opens at East Main St
 House Saturday
4 HORSEMEN APPEAR

"The Spirit of Notre Dame," sensation of the current year, opens a. four day engagement at War ners' State on Saturday next. The cast is headed by Lew Ayres, Sally Blanc, The Four Horsemen, Frank Carideo, Moon Mullins, Bucky O'Connor and many other famous Notre Dame stars.
 The Spirit of Notre Dame is typical of the new spirit that seems to have crcpt into motion picture making. Knute Rockne, before his tragic death. had dreamed a dream of a great foot ball picture that would carry Q message of high ideals, of sterling sportsmanship, of loyal school spirit and the making of men to lovers of spor everywhere. He was on his way to Hollywood to confer with the executives of Universal about such picture when the plane that was carrying ihni to California, faltered and crashed, bringing him death. The mne of his team, couting him their friendl more than their coach de- termined to go on with the picture as a memorial to him. The Spirit of Notre Dame is the result.
 It is, without question, the great est of the sports pictures to have come to the screen. Dedicated formally to Rockne. it Is the dra- matic story of the character build ing of men. It is the romance of great football as Notre Dame has played 1t with her teams, whose members have made brilliant foot ball history. It is the gripping thrilling school drama, without d leading lady, and with little heart interest. It is also conspicuously lacking in the cheap college clap trap that has marred so many pie lures. This picture strikes a new note of fineness and idealism in screen entertainment. It should be influential in bringing new dig nifty and integrity to intercollegiate sports.

Such powerful journs's as Osaka Mainichf and the Tokio Nichi said the army demanded im- mediate retribution for the Man. churian affair and that If the foreign office cannot bring the Chi-- nese authorities in Manchuria to terms the army suggests that defi- nite action shall be taken to compel the Chinese to show more sincerity than they have so far"
 The press understood that the army was prepared Ito insist on military action in case the Chinese cannot be brought to terms"
