GRACE BAUM
 PRIMA DONNA
Her Rendition of Classical and Operatic Numbers
 Was Great Success
AT BUCKINGHAM HALL

Grace Baum, prima donna who appeared at Buckingham hall, Sunday night at the second annual concert of the Brass City Band, has returned to New York after being the guest of leaders in the To- cal musical circles. Her appear ance Sunday night and her rendl- ton of many classical and opera tic numbers evoked much praise. The concert as a whole, which was offered under the direction of Pro- lessor A. Ortone, was declared one of the best so far this season.
 Professor Ortone was highly com plimented for the excellent manner in which the program was offered. Lovers of grand opera music in Waterbury expressed themselves as well pleased not only with Miss Baum's singing and the capable di- recting of Professor Ortone, but also with the singing of Sadie Yel- len, well known New York soprano, and the playing of the Brass City band. s. A. White, accompanist for the singers, was also highly complimented. It is understood that later in the month these art ists will appear in Torrington and the news of their success with the Waterbury audience has already served to create much interest in that city,

Curtiss Boom Puts
 GOPPow Wow On Ice
Ticket Although Political IncOngruiN Will Slide Through in Similar Manner to Snel-TsOn Bout

when the sacrosancity of the Shoot Harwley enactment wac a primary tenet of the adminietion and all the faitful were presenting united front to the Dem oortnc attacks on the Grundy measure. Consequently the nomination of Shell as the republican candidate for the speakership, a hopeless, ftf- tile nomination in view of the democratic majority in the House, is regarded as another slap nt President Hoover.
 The Hoover Curtis ticket, now definitely determined on, is q curl ous political incongruity. Hoover never wanted the Kansas senator as running mate. At the Kansas City convention 1t was generally accepted that Hoover's first choice vas Dawes, and his second, Han- ford MacNider, because of the lat ters prominence in the A. F. r. organization. Dawes would not come In and MacNider had little appeal to the delegates who rather sullenly accepted the Hoover can didacy. Nobody was more out bDOhth uBntH5b lhaL CuHuidaCy Charlie Curtis. In a public speech of approximation Curtis told his audience that If Hoover were nom- mated the republican party would be kept apologlzing for him until the polls closed on election day. After that election, the late Sem ator Caraway suggested that Cur tis had been misunderstood; that, whereas it was assumed that he meant election day of 1928, subse- quent events, Caraway stated, indi- cated that he meant that his party would keep on apalogizing for him until the polls closed on election day, 1892. Obviously the republi- can candidate for president could not feel very enthusiastic at having to link arms with politician who entertained so unfattering an opin- ion of him. However, the conven- ton paid no attention to the presi- dents wishes and now 1t is evident that the strange partnership will be continued through the peril of 1892.
 The seasoned old political veter- an-Curtis will be 73 years old when next inauguration day comes around-has enjoyed the highly ornamental job of vice president perhaps more than any other indi- vidual who ever occupied that of- flee. On the surface at least there has been peace between him and the president. True, the vice. president took the Kansas view against that colossal administra- ton blunder, the gambling Farm Board. and on some other matters, but on the whole, Curtis and Hoover have gotten along with about as much harmony as usually exists between the ruler and the heir apparent. Whether that measure of harmony will continue through the coming period of stress and probable disaster re- mains to be seen.

GOVT CONTROL
 OF EDUCATION
 MUCH OPPOSED
Bishop Turner of Buffalo Diocese Says Catholic Schools Would Be En. dangered By Such a Move

Buffalo. N. Y., Dec 8.-UP)-- Bishop William Turner. head of the diocese of the Catholic church, has asked members of his church, to oppose projects for federal control of education. Tn q radio address over station WkBW here last night Bishop Turner satd that "the Cath ollie church Is on the defensive" i" and that federal control of edu- cation would threaten the millions of dollars now invested in our own educational systems"
 For years there has been a move afoot to concentrate educa- tional control In Washintgon," |" Bishop Turner said. "This would, we believe, work detriment to all private and parochial schools. We feel that our educational system Is being threatened. We have mill lions of dollars invested in build- ings and maintenance. The supreme court has given and has upheld us in the right to teach our children as we believe they should be taught. Tt is our duty to do all in our power by propaganda and protest to oppose any action of con- gress to establish a federal de- partment of education"

No Fear of
 Smallpox Here Local Health Officials Not Alarmed By Outbreak
 in Bridgeport

Waterbury health officials are not concerned with the outbreak of smallpox in Bridgeport as the juvenile population of this city Is almost one hundred per cent in- mune. An idea of the progress of vaccination in the public schools Is evident in a check made on one of the largest local schools which showed that only six children in the entire school were not vac- cinated.
 The health report for last week shows that Bridgeport had twenty nine cases of smallpox. This ia considered quite a large number and as the disease is communities ble. strict precautions are being taken,
 Waterbury had a taste of this dread disease in 1929 when there were reported three cases. The strict supervision and excellent preventative work done by the health department under Dr E. J, Godfrey, health officer, in is0lat- ing the cases and keeping them under control prevented the dis- ease from spreading.
 Vaccinations arc conducted an. nualIy in the pre-school clinics and in the basement of the City Hall They are now going on.
 The pre-school clinic serves aI m excellent medium for vaccina. tione and insures youngsters entor' Ing school immunized agains smallpox. A state law makes vac cinationB mandatory

 Menace To Future
National Credit Assn Head Sees Deilation as Only
 Remedy for Fast Mounting Tax Bill

ed," the credit chief observes, be cause 1t consumes large quantities of raw material and any improve ment in that industry is quickly re- flected in the general business situ- ations. Despite the many vacant buildings, there is in process of development at present a real shortage of homes. There is a huddling of families which would not long continue were it possible to maintain an independent home.
 Tt Is estimated very conserva- lively that the building industry serves as a substantial feeder to no less than fifty related industries. The home loan plan, therefore, is a very constructive factor, one that should weigh heavily in develop ing a business turn"
 Tn viewing the general business situation, Mir Heimann states that "the recent increase in the price of wheat and its consequent stimula- tions, particularly in agricultural commodities, emphasizes again the importance of the agricultural sit- uation in relation to general busi- ness conditions and sharply brings to our attention the fact that the slump in most agricultural commo- dities has been out of proportion to the slump experienced in other commodities. From October, 1890 to October, 1931, the general de- crease on wholesale prices amount ed to approximately IT per cent, while that of farm products to- tailed 30 per cent"
 Although prices are depressed, the credit chief points out that 'it Is well to bear in mind that while production Is at low ebb, consumption has not fallen to the same extent. When we consume more than we produce the length of time required for the resump- ton of production is constantly shortened and 1t Is a favorable in- dication that the wheels of indus- try must soon again begin to turn to satisfy consumptive wants.
 We emerge from depressions usually through some outstanding favorable development in certain lines. It was the building industry and automobile production that brought us out of the last depres- sion. Perhaps we shall emerge from this depression under the leadership of a price movement in certain commodities, an unexpected pickup in residential building, and a favorable turn in the automobile industry"

New York, Dev s-With federal, state and local government ex- penditures increasing at tremen- dous rate, the mounting burdens of taxation constitute a serious menace to the future prosperity of business" says Henry H. Heimann, executive manager of the National monthly review of business sent to the association's 25,00O members.
 Tt is estimated these combined expenditures this year may well run to fifteen billion dollars, which would be approximately five times our total expenditures of fifteen years ago." the credit chief ex- plains. "Defiation in government Is difficult thing, yet highly es- sential. Private industry has had to defiate during the depression, and 1t is time that there be an or- ganized effort to bring about a corresponding def1ation in govern ment. It is estimated that one dol- lar out of every nine of the income of the United States goes to the expense of government.
 Nationally we are facing a two billion dollar deficit. The situation calls for heroic action for we can- not go on having mounting de- ficits. The real solution, of course, is drastic curbing of governmental expenditures, but even the best ef- forts along this line will not en- able us to balance our budget on our present income. A temporary increase in taxation seems a neces- sity, despite the fact that business is now suffering under too heavy @ load. To defer the day, however, of settlement, Is merely adding ad- ditional. burdens and likewise de- ferring the day of sound recovery.
 Government is no different than business with respect to balancing It's budget. as Europe has very painfully discovered. We in this nation ought to take a lesson from the experience across the sea, and endeavor to balance our budget, painful as the burden of doing so may be. Perhaps the very balance ing of the budget will bring about a consciousness with respect to the expenditure of the public dollar that has been sadly lacking in the past decade. Above all things, 1t is highly essential that the added burdens should be equitably distri- buted. Politics has no proper place in the determination of taxation policies. Taxes should be scienti- fically and equitably spread"

HUNGER MASSES TO BREAK CAMP
 | DURING THE DAY
They Will Begin the Long and Weary Trek to Their Home Towns and Villages

Washington, Dec S.--(UP)-The oppressed masses of America" to- day planned to break camp in the old Presbyterian church and start the long, weary return trip of the march on Washington.
 The march was Q victory for everyone concerned. For Herbert Benjamin, grand marshal and bear e of the Coxey torch, 1t was 0 sort of verbal "shot heard round the world"
 For Pelham D. Glassford, ami- able and resourceful police super intendent, 1t was @ triumph of mind over matetr, an object 1es- son to his subordinates in the value of self-restraint.
 For the government clerks at lunch hour. 1t was a novel di- version.
 For 24 hours the 1,400--later swelled to 1,800-"hunger march, ers' marched and made speeches and ate soup. They failed to get Q hearing at the senate, at the house of representatives.. or at the White House, but they tried. and thus fulfilled moral obligatoin.

Wahington--Vice President Cur. tis having announced his decision 10 run again for his present office, the last possibility of anything ex- citing or interesting occurring at the next republican National con yention vanishes. There will be some grumbling, of course, by the progressives at the renomination of President Hoover, and 1t may even be that Hiram Johnson will make one of his tremolt speeches in derogation of his feudal foe. But these. things will not affect the conventions actions or stir any ser ious ripples upon the political sea.
 The administration supporters will refer to this condition as an example of the perfect harmony prevailing in the republican ranks. The franker republican factions will describe it as inertia. It is this prospective quietude which explains why there is so little rivalry among the cities to get the republican convention, in contrast for compe- tition for the democratic session, which. if precedent is followed, will be held two weeks later.
 Vice President Curtis's decision to stick to the national ticket ra- ther than risk the uncertainties of a Kansas Senatorial election has been hailed by the rather mourn full group of Hoover cheer leaders as evidencing the confidence of the Kansan tail of the ticket in repub- liccin success next year. In Kan sas apparently, judging by the newspaper comments out there. it js regarded as indicating merely preference to going down with the big ship rather than being swamped in q small boat. It is compared in it's political signifi- canoe to the curious battle between Bertram Shell, of New York, and John c. Tllson, of Connecticut, for the sorry consolation prize of min ority leadership In the house of representatives. where for so long these two. with the late Speaker Nicholas Longworth, resigned and ruled as the unquestioned despots of the lower chamber of Congress. That is, 1t Is simply an effort to salvage whatever Is possible from the wreck of their party.
 Every manifestation nowadays apparently has some bearing on the status of President Hoover in the public esteem. Tilson was Hoov- ar's most complacent litutenant. Whatever the President suggested the republican floor leader tried to bring about regardless of his own views. predilections, or principals. Compared with Tilson, Shell was q rebel. He opposed the president on the later's proposal of n joint com mittee to consider prohibition ques- tions, on the bonus loan extension, and Shell. after Congress had ad- journed. boldly announced in a speech in New York that this coun- Try had "gone the limit" on the tar If and conveyed the broad intima- lion that it had to be lowered. This statement was made at time

Washington, Dec 8--(UP)-Jus- tice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Idol of American liberals and Dean of American jurists, today began his 30th year in the supreme court. The jurist is not likely to take nor permit others to take official recognition of the fact that it was on Dec 8, 1902. that he ascended the bench as an appointee of Presl- dent Roosevelt.
