STATE SOLVING
JOB PROBLEMS.
HEWITT SAYS
20 Counties Are Back to
Normal, Work Commit
tee Head Declares.

Twenty Indiana counties have
solved completely their unemploy-
ment problems, DR.. John w. Hewitt,
secretary Of the state committee on
unemployment, reported today.
In thirty additional counties the
unemployment has reached a point
where it is but seasonable. Great
advance has been made in all of
the ninety-two counties. and spring
0ill see the charity burden lifted,
Or Hewitt predicts.
Conditions ere bad now only in
the industrial centers. the coal fields
and the drought stricken counties
Of the state" he asserted
The county committees have
been doing a good job in finding
work for the unemployed, even at
the expense OF making jobs. Con-
ditions have improved TO such an
extent that we can feel assured that
the peak Of the depression is we'll
passed 50 far as Indiana is con-
cerned
Mines Are Given Aid
OF course the coal fields we're a
problem long before the slump. The
only answer there is to reopen the
mines and the only chance to re-
Opea trzrse IS to sell more Indiana
s.4SaI
80 far as the drought regions are
concerned. little but road Jobs can
aid there until a new crop is
harvested"
DR. Hewitt, who also is head Of
the Indiana Coal Bureau, dedicated
TO boosting sales of Indiana mined
coal, pointed out that the recent
cement contracts Of the state high
way department greatly aided the
mines.
Majority awards, 85 per cent
went to firms using Indiana coal.
The total awards was 1,750,000
barrels. one ton of coal is burned
for each four barrels Of cement pro-
duced, Or. Hewitt declared. The
Medusa company burns one ton of
Indiana coal to each barrel of
cement and received an order for
$4,000 barrels he said.
Awards also went to firms on the
state line which employ Hoosier
labor and thus aided in solving the
unemployment problem also he
pointed out.
Specific Directions Given
With this optimistic report from
Dr. Hewitt, announcement was
made from the office of Governor
Harry G. Leslie that the agricul-
tural credit commission of Indiana
hes gotten under way Today in
formation and recommendation
from the committee were sent to
farm leaders and bankers in all
agricultural counties of the state,
according to L. o. Chasey, secretary
to the Governor and also secretary
of the committee. Daniel L. Gloss
brenner is chairman.
Printed pamphlets of Instructions
give specific directions for organ
izing the county to take advantage
of the federal intermediary farm
loans, which is the move being fos-
tered by the state committee.
Need for the loans made by the
federal government is emphasized
by the fact that in eighty-six agri-
cultural counties of the state the
deposits in the banks, serving these
counties, have been reduced $3.50, 1000,
to but 100000 in 1880, Chasey de-
Clared.

Open Season For Scandals

Every session of Congress casts before it shadows of Investigations and exposes, and this year the almost certain control of the House by democrats enhances expectations. It is recalled that hostile House made in- quiries into the Taft administration that doubtless contributed to democratic victory in the next election. and that republican House harrassed Wilson with investigations in 1918.
 Already, the hounds are paying on the trail of the Postoffiee Department. and raey revelations concerning air and ocean mail contracts are promised. An inquiry was authorized by the last Congress, but Repre- sentative Will Wood. republican. has never convened his subcommittee on postoffiee appropriations for the purpose of holding hearings. Complaints of favoritism in the awarding of these contracts have reached such volume. however. that Mir Wood may instigate his investigation in December. Otherwise, the Senate or some other House agency is sure to act.
 Competitive bidding is supposed to pre- cede the awarding of all mail contracts. but it i, charged that contracts for carrying mail over newly created routes have been granted as extensions to companies already holding fat contracts. At least one powerful com pany has won a contract over lower bidders through technical provision disqualifying the smaller. independent enterprises. Worst of all these practices enable the mail car riers to profit at the expense of the governos and therefore of the taxpayer.
 Air and ocean mail contracts involve an annual subsidy of 6.O00,000. Postmaster General Brown. Assistant Postmaster Gen. era Glover. who hes charge of administer ing these funds and members of the Shipping Board are among the prominent officials who will be called to testify in such an investigation.

THE WINE BRICK sHRINKs
(Christian Science Monitor)


 Decision by Fruit Industries, Ltd. to discontinue direct distri- button to homes of it's grape con- centrate, about which so much controversy has centered in recent months, is commendable.
 Col. Amos W. W. Woodcock, prohibition director, consistently bided his time until the courts had clarified this perplexing issue. His moderation has been matched by a quick voluntary response of the wine-grape firm to a court ruling that sale of grape concentrates capable of developing more than one half of 1 per cent alcohol by volume, is a violation of a section of the Volstead Act.
 This action removes one of the most troublesome phases Of the grape concentrate subject. It, Is not a definite settlement of the en- tire question, however, since grape concentrates will still be put on the market in stores without any guarantee against their misuse by the purchasers. The spokesman flor Fruit Industries affirms that their products now will be design ed exclusively for solft drink purposes
 The manner of carrying out this purpose provides the next phase of the picture. One absolute and simple guarantee that has been proposed is the inclusion of pre- servative in the product before Its sale. Would not this voluntary action on the part of wine-grape producers render further court action unnecessary?

indicated that democrats were going to make q mighty effort to capture this district. Whether or not they did the republicans held firm and republican again goes to Wash ington from the late Nicholas Longworth's district.
 It may cause some consternation in dry. ranks to learn that the republican candidate. Mir Hollister. ran on dripping wet ticket. Both candidates did. as a matter of fact. but if there are degrees of wetness then MT Hollister reached the superlative degree in his campaigning The 18th amendment was a vicious piece of legislation to him. He admitted that he broke the liquor laws and even gloried in the fact. The voters of the district could take him as he was. He did not intend to change those sentiments for his fight to the halls of Congress in the in- terest of repeal or modification.
 Despite these protestations of belief in the anti-prohibition cause the president paused long enough to add a word of benediction over the Ohio republican candidate. He did not stop to explain why he wanted Mir Hol- lister elected other than that he was re- publican and. of course, republican Con- gress is essential to the administrators program. Personally we cannot see any other reason than political .expedeney be- hind the presidential action. Seldom is the chief executive called upon to enter an cleo ton contest ir behalf of candidate. Seldom have any of our chief executives carried it off expeditiously.
 We recall that President Coolidge tried to interest Massachusetts in the candidacy of former Senator Butler when the latter was running on his own. The voters repudiated this interference from the White House, if you care to call it that. by a spirited over throw at the polls. Of course President Hoover did nothing more than endorse the candidacy of Representative Hollister and he was elected. The recoil may come later on when congressional forces are lined up for a fight on the prohibition question. In the mean time the republican representative from Ohio may serve the purpose for which he is intended. It may have been good poli- tics for President Hoover to endorse Mir Hollster, but what boomerang it would prove if this same Mir Hollister led success ful fight for the overthrow of the present liquor laws that cause us SO much discomfort.

According to the political news floating our way there will be new lineup of faces in the ranks of New Haven's state senators in 1933. Senators Frank Bergin, Raymond Devlin. and William H. Hackett are reported not to be considering seeking renomination for the positions. There is no question but that all three could be re- nominated and also reelected if they so de- sired. Of course Senator Devlin now holds city court position in the role of proseeu- tor. He was named by Judge Troup last summer. Senator Bergin is being prom inently mentioned for the post of state chairman of the democratic state central committee. Senator Hackett was recently defeated in the democratic mayoralty pri- maries in New Haven but we don't im- asine that this would affect his desire to remain in the state senate. where he has been the leading democratic figure for the past two sessions. Two years ago 1t was his oratory and sound remarks that kept the party in the limelght.

GRIDIRON AND MELTING POT 3..e'

(New York Herald-Tribune)
 Thirty years ago the roster of the average football team still read like the register of voters in Vermont village. The Anglo Saxon complexion of our student bodies had scarcely been broken as yet by names that were alien to the original makeup of our popula- tion. The only exceptions were a sprinkling of Germans, as truly Nordic as the early settlers of New England, and an occasional Irish man. A still more striking excep- ton was the band of American aborlgines who composed the Carl
 isle team. Now 1t is only In the South and in a few of the North- eastern states that the football teams maintain the earlier Ameri- can tradition. ..
 The teams of the Western Con- ference, the Big Ten" that is largely made up of the state uni- versailles of the Middle West. reflect the heavy infiltration of new racial stocks that has been going on dur ing the past few decades. The old- CT Teutonic element is represented by such names as Nusspickel. Hedtke and Schultz on the Illinois team, and German names may usually be found in the Wisconsin line-up. The most revolutionary change is seen in the frequency of Slavic names that are symptomatic of the more recent immigration from eastern Europe. Five Slavs played for Notre Dame in last weeks game. Fordham has a Dan- owslxi, Ohio State O Vuckinick. Michigan a Marcovsky. and our rec cent visitors from Oregon Miku- lak.
 The Mediterranean peoples also
 contribute a goodiy share of ma teriai to the melting rots that are

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER Il, 1ss
Archbishop Murray

Nowhere was there more rejoicing yes fterday, than in this city at the announce ment that the Right Reverend John U. Murray, Bishop of Portland, had been ele- vated to the archbishoprie of St Paul. Min nesota. The city where Archbishop Murray was born and brought up has bad reason 10 be proud of its native son. He has reflected much credit upon it. The Waterbury Democrat feels some little pride that 1t was one of its boys" that has been honored with this high ranking in the Roman Catholic Church in America.
 Greater responsibilities will be Archbishop Murray's in his new See at St Paul. Had not his superiors been convinced of his fit- ness, such as he had displayed while chan cellor and auxiliary bishop of this diocese and then as bishop of Portland, Maine, ne would not be going to the middle west 10 assume more responsible duties. We are confident that the same unassuming power which characterized his diocesan work here and in Maine will speedily enseonee him Tn the good will of his flock in Minnesota.
 It was with considerable regret that Con necticut wished him Godspeed as he departed for Maine after laboring in these helds or ours during the first 25 years of his priest- hood. We felt that though he was separ- ated from us by several states he was st'ii in New England and next door to home. 10 see him go SO far from us now requires more regrets It brings us the knowledge that meetings now will be few and far be- tween However, it is with smile on our lips that we wish Archbishop Murray fare well and from the heart comes our best w;sbe, for him in his new province.

FOR A STABLE EASTER
{ Hartford Tlncs)


 The International Calendar Re- form conference at Geneva has ad- journed after giving much thought and dis cussion to the obpections which had been raised by religious leaders in defense of the present distribution of sacred holidays. The |conference adopted one cOnstruc- tive recommendation which 1t will ask the council of the league of nations to submit to the church authorities for consideration and, If approved. later to urge the var ious nations to accept. It is pro- posed that Easter be observed on Sunday after the second Saturday in April. Since there is so little logical. or even sentimental sup port for the present "shifty" Eas- ter, there is hope that this recom- mendation may receive general approval. This bit of stabilization should be welcome.
 As for the major changes which |the Calendar Reform Associa- tion sponsors. notably the plan to establish thirteen 2s-day months. the proponents are satisfied that sentiment is still greatly divided. Within the organization there has drietu H 8EOuY Wuicu rFtitra tHS world calendar" which divides the present twelve months into ninety one-day quarters.

SMOKY WEATHER
(Hartford Courant)


 The soft, blue-tinted pastels that nature, aided by man and his brush fires, has smudged on her canvas almost compensates for the loss or the giddier colors of early fall. The aviator may scowl ferociously at the blue soup below him. which cuts his visibility to fractions, but the pedestrian need not mind. He can see as clearly as he needs to, and the blue haze in the distance hides the rayages that frost has worked on the fields and trees. The gaunt silhouettes of stripped branches are clothed again in the soft, smoky stuffs of the season, and the sharp outlines of the eternal hills are rounded and soft.
 It Is the lands farewell. Small furry animals are already begin ming to hole up against the cold and snow of winter. Most of the migratory birds have turned southward, although 1t is still not too late to hear the geese honking out of the sky if you live on the line of one of their airways. The ducks are travelling, too, black masses of them. along the shore. The shortened shooting season may seem that sometime soon they may go south again in the fiocks that, according to earlier writers, literal 'y plotted out the sun. But the braver game birds will be with us Fall winter, huddled in brush piles in the woods, The south may be sunny, but their home Is in New England. and they stay with us.
 Natures kind cool hand softens the forebodings of the birds and beasts and men who must bear with the winter of her discontent. She gives one last shrouded dis play of her charms before she turns to blinl us with her snow and freeze US with her cold. She Is a changeable person. as we know her in New England-a cyclo- thyme, psychiatrist might call her human counterpart. But there are times in every season when she is kind.
