business has spread far and wide and
consequently Danbury has become q

bury does not want to spend its

the families that have been flowing in
for weeks only to find no jobs. During
the past month he says fourteen such
families dropped in on us right out
of the blue" Danbury has to take
care of these people or pass them on.
The new prosperity has been badly
needed In Danbury, for toward the end
of last Winter many of the residents
then out of work and in need Of assist
ance had to. be cared for from public
charity. Now they are thriving with
the revival of trade, but the dilution
of the labor market by the attraction

A Problem for Congress.

-Four years ago the Park and Plan
ming Commission recommended to the
Treasury that the buildings to be
erected in connection with the Govern
ments great housing program be self
contained as to garage facilities for
! the employees, but for reasons best
known to the Treasury experts that
plan Was abandoned, in so far as the
buildings now planned or under con-
struction are concerned The Treasury
officials, however, received from out
side sources an appraisal of the garage
problem that is said to AL volume,
and, it is understood, the results OF
this study will be placed before Cons
gress.
In the meantime, it is interesting to
note that Col. u. S. Grant, Sd, at a
meeting of the Federal Bar ASsocia-
ton last night, added his Endorsement
to the plan of William A. Roberts. as
Sistant corporation counsel, for the Gre
alton of a municipal corporation to go
into the garage business. Col. Grant
feels that such a plan is economically
feasible and deplores. with all Wash
ingtonians, the problem that has de-
veloped through the lack Of adequate
garage and transportation facilities for
the city.
The outcome Of the discussions now
going forward may be that the whole
problem win be dumped into the lap
of Congress. AS a matter Of fact, Con-
gress, with its exclusive jurisdiction, is
about the only agency that can hope
to solve Washington's parking riddles
with any chance OF success. There are
so many independent agencies now con-
cerned with it that they have been
stumbling over each others heels for
the last decade without getting any
where. 1t would be q wise step on the
part Of Congress to order or to under
take a study Of the public garage and
transportation question with a view to
accepting the best solution and pro-
ceeding to carry it through.

AS to the present state Of actual dis-

Capital comments: even If the armed
and aggressive powers ANONYMOUSLY
failed in their disarmament plans, the
remaining 40-odd governments of the
world, it Is possible to say, would not
consent to live under the shadow of
mihtarism imposed upon them by 8
great states. They have been neg
hgible in the peace movement, yet need
not be. Unarmed for any threatening
purpose themselves, they are forever,
while militarism by the powers lasts, in
danger of being drawn into the vortex
OF war. or if they avoid being actually
engaged, yet are threatened with eco
nomic ruS1 in the event of war among
the militant powers. Militarism among
the six armed powers therefore is not
q menace or o question involving them
only, but ore that takes in the scope Of
the entire planet. The independent un-
armed states in the final resort by
their united protests and demands for
disarmament can become q factor far
from negligible, and their Interest in
the question is manifest. They have
the right and power to organize not
with military force, but with moral and
economic force to compel the same dis
armament which they themselves prac-
tice."

New Style Booms Danburv.

Economists who are searching for
remedies for the prevailing depression
In business and the high percentage of
unemployment in this country have
apparently neglected to consider the In
nuence of fashion as O factor for revival
Of trade. 1t may be that they have not
adequately gagged the effect Of change
OF styles. particularly in women's wear,
in the stimulation of manufacture.
Certainly the advent Of the new mode of
wornen's headgear has not been thus
far given its due award Of credit for q
stimulation Of industry. This new hat,
known as the Eugene, from the French
Empress who made the mode popular
over sixty years ago, now worn literally
by millions In this country, has revived
the derby business at DanbuTy, Conn,
which for years has been known as the
Nations headgear center, to- q point
where that town, hard hit by the busi-
ness slump, Is new booming There
are thirty hat factories in Danbury
capable Of turning out fully eighty five
per cent of the head wear used in
America. They are now running at full
time. The total pay roll of last month
has been estimated at nearly $500, 900,
its skilled workers making from SIS
to SIS a week.
But Danbury's new prosperity due to
the change in styles Of women's hats

The Facts Should Be Known.

It is most desirable that the Com
miSsioners, on receipt of the letter from
the Board of Education, make some
convincing reply that will explain to the
taxpayers why the purchase Of school
site in the Fort Reno section Of Chevy
Chase is still being delayed despite the
fact that money for that purpose was
made available by q sympathetic Con-
gress as early as last February. This is q
matter that affects the public interest
and there has been too much mystery
about it already.
As early as October 10 the Board of
Educations Committee on Buildings,
Grounds and Equipment called on the
Commissioners to appeal for action in
purchasing the land. The need for
the school has been recognized. II the
land has not been bought by the time
Congress meets again, there will be diff
ficulty in securing the appropriation for
beginning construction. There has al
ready been a delay of nine months in
purchase of the land and there have
been intimations that the Commits
sioners, for some unknown reason, are
planning to let the matter rest where it
is and go back to Congress for some
authority that may now be lacking.
What is the real reason for this
delay? Is it true, as stated, that one
or more Senators, residents of the COM
munity have persuaded the Engineer
Com missioner, now absent on sick leave,
to favor some site other than the ore
desired by the school officials and the
Park and Planning Commission? II
the Senators have a good reason for
exerting their influence, what is that
reason? Is the cost of the desired land
prohibitive? Is there some fundamental
objection to the location, by the Com
missioners, that leads them to favor a
site far removed from the general area
specified by Congress?
Whatever the reasons are, they
should be known. 1t Is unfortunate
but none the less true, that the ele-
ment most emphasized in recent dis
cuSSions Of the school building program
has been the delay.

Hiring of Cripples
Held Up as Exemplary

From the New York Herald Tribune
The decision Of the Western Electric
Co. TO hire crippleS or vocationally
handicapped persons to work at the
same rates OF pay as other workers in
all its plants is an example which may
well be followed by Cther industrial con-
Germs wherever such a policy Is feasible
The Western Electric'S decision follows
q year OF experiments, according to J.
W. Dietz, superintendent of the com
pany'S industrial relations at Kearny,
N. j.. and cripples will not be hired be-
cause they are handicapped, but be-
cause they are especially adapted to
the performance of some particular
duty.
A comparison OF the incomes of
handicapped persons during the Kearny
experiments showed an increase of 40
per cent, against an even per cent on
the part OF non-handicapped empoyeS
during the year, while only IA per cent
Of handicapped persons assigned to DO
SltlonS In the works were removed as
not being suited to their duties. Acct
dents were more than 5 per cent more
frequent among on-handicapped work.
erS than among those of impaired abil-
tiles selected for the trials.
THESE figures and the decision which
tney have produced are principally
notable because they are based on cold
statistical findings quite uninnuenced
by sympathy or sentimentality. They
are the findings Of q realistic minded
industrial concern In q field which usu-
ally Is dominated by other instincts
than those engendered by hard facts.
II vocationally handicapped persons are
such competent workers that they can
prove themselves of more value than
unimpaired employees a whole field of
possibilities for useful labor Is opened
TO them. 1t is a good thing to have
discovered that the crippled laborer is
worthy of his hire.

tenants of the properties to pay In
higher rents. And thus is explained part
of the large fortune earned by Mr..
Olvany during the period of his Tam
many leadership. OF course, there is no
testimony of record to show that the
coming law concessions could not have
been obtained through the employment
of counsel other than the firm headed

Legal Expenses in New York.

Despite the reluctance Of George w.
Clvany, former leader of Tammany Hall,
to disclose the sources of a remarkably
large income received by him during his
1ncurbency in that unsalaried position,
the New York Legislative Committee
which is inquiring into metropolitan
matters. under the counselship Of for
mer Judge Seabury, is getting some in
teresting facts. 1t has been brought out
that the promoter of large real estate
development at the foot of Forty-second
street involving a very heavy expendi-
ture was during the term OF Mr. Olvany's
leadership enabled through the employ
ment of his law firm to obtain valuable
concessions in the way of changes in
the coming rules which permitted the
addition OF six stories to the proposed
construction. According to testimony
drawn from the somewhat reluctant
witness who acted rs intermediary at
torney between the builder and the
Olvany firm. the total fee paid by the
former TO the latter was $4,000, Of
which the witness retained $4,000 as his
commission. On other constructions for
which similar coming law notifications
were sought fees were paid to the
amount of $3l, 500, Of which the inter-
mediary received $4,000. In all. the
builder paid to the olvany firm $780,
500, with q net Of 500. 800 to the firm
and a commission of 5000 to the at

Four States Contest
Rural and City Votes

From the New York Times.
New York is one Of four States IN
which controversy Is in progress over
the apportionnnent of seats in Congress.
The others are Illinois, Minnesota and
Missouri Circumstances vary, but the
fundamental issue is the same. Rural
and urban districts disagree over the
number of votes which each shall have
In the House of Representatives.
The issue has been raised by the
Federal reapportionment act of 1929,
distributing seats among the States IN
accordance with their population as
revealed by last years census. Certain
States have gained representation, 9TH
ers have lost. Where change has
been made in either direction it Is
necessary to define new districts with
in the State itself. At this point the
question arises: Shall the rural dis
tricts retain the privilege of overrepre-
sentatioh which they have enjoyed for
many years, or shall q new and more
equitable basis be provided?
How large an advantage the rural
districts now command Is not COM
monty realized though this arrange
ment is basic factor in the Ameri-
can system of government determining
in large measure the attitude of Con-
gresS on such important questions as
taxation, farm relief and prohibition,
III NcW 1OIks each member Oh the pres
ent House from New York City repre-
sents an average Of $4,000 people:
each member from a district outside
the city represents an average Of 1885,
600. In Illinois the figures are 312,0
for Chicago and 100000 fCr the re-
mainder Of the State: In Pennsylvania,
261 900 for Philadelphia and $4,000 for
the other districts; In Ohio, $4,000 for
Cleveland and $4,000 elsewhere. In
each case it will be noted that Q con.
siderably larger number Of city voters
than Of rural voters Is required In order
to obtain the same amount Of repre-
sentation III the House. In certain
States the disproportion is particularly
impressive. In Los Angeles 469 900
people now have the same amount Of
representation in the House as 209, 200
throughout the rest of California. In
Michigan it takes two voters In Detroit
to equal one outside.
The advantage thus enjoyed by rural
districts rests, in turn, upon q similarly
one-sided system of representation In
the State Legislatures which apportion
seats in Congress. It is an advantage
which they have naturally been exc
tremely reluctant to surreudexs
