One Mans. Viewpoint

Last week we commented upon the fact that Governor Gross would not seize the opportunity. presented him at the polls last week, to adopt dictatorial attitude with regard to appointments. We note that the Hartford Times believes that the governor will continue to show the same sense of bi- partisan values in l933. as he did through out 1o31 and l932. Of course in his first term the governor necessarily had to de- pend upon the approval of hostile Legis- lature. Next year the Senate will be demo- cratic. the House republican. The advantage. if any. will lie with the democrats.
 As the Times states The practical politician whose political education came out of the wards invariably if put in Governor Cross's place next January would without hesitation proceed to use his power to wreck the enemy's army. But the gover- nor. apparently, has no such purpose in mind. He expects to continue his policy of compromise. recognizing that. though the electorate gave him majority in the senate, they also elected house more predomin- antly republican by twelve votes than it was in 193l. He construes this division of strength as a mandate from the public for the division of governmental responsibility between the two parties"
 More than that Governor Cross has al- ways maintained that each major party is entitled to some showing in the courts. in the state commissions, and boards, etc. That. of course, is the opposite of the republican policy as preached and practiced of recent years. Its idea was to name republicans only to major chairmanships and minor ones; to keep the courts filled with republican appointees; to convince the democrats tha. tfagy had no business in seeking political favors from the dominant party. Rather an autocratc attitude. but hasn't the admins tration of the state under the Rorabaek regime always been like that.
 Governor Cross has proved his popularity in Connecticut. The results of l930 were proved not to be mistake by the returns of last Tuesday when the governor ran up larger majority than he had in his first attempt. He is entitled to the respect that goes to any democrat who can win the governorship for two successive terms in a normally republican state. He certainly will not disappoint his thousands of admirers by such display of partisanship next year as we ordinarily credit and expect from repub- lican executives.

A sUPERFLUoUs RECIPE
(IIartford Courant)

E
 The Boston Transcript in this first decade of November, essays to tell it's feminine readers how to fry parsnips. To make matters worse it released this information on a day in which all readers were interested in the election returns. We chiefly desire to learn who cares to, fry parsnips or who wishes to eat these swedish spin dleshaped roots in November. In March or April they might appeal to a hungry person, but not now.
 Our ancestors. we feel sure, cul- tiyated parsnips in the days before che potato became popular, which was less than a century ago. The tuber was regarded as undesir- able, even poisonous, and 1t was asserted by certain doctors that if one ate potatoes daily he would not live more than seven years after the habit had fastened itself upon. Clearly. the potato was a food to be summed, and farmers were thereby restricted to turnips and parsnips. They acquired an appetite for the latter, especially as those roots not required for immediate consumption .wintered very well in the soil and, in fact, seemed al lthe better for 1t.
 Now parsnips are sown in most Kitchen gardens, the drills require little care if the seeds germinate., The parsnip seems able to care for itself if given fertile soil. It Is vig- orous and less subject to insect pests than are most garden prod ucts, and It's leaves stand like feathers on a war bonnet until a killing frost arrives. Then the average farmer unearths some of the roots for winter consumption. but leaves the greater part of the crop in the earth through the win ter.
 In March or April these are un- earthed with pick Q rbar, and the root Is found all the better for it's prolonged stay in cold storage, and the housewife is able to surfeit the family with the second successive appearance of parsnips. She slices the roots already boiled and fries them with ham or bacon, though the best way of frying parsnips is simply to fry them. They are placed in q frying pa nand Tried, and that is all there Is to It.
 Alas, that there are other ways of cooking this root. Those who, for one reason or another are compelled to haunt restaurants are now accustomed to dredge out of | whitish paste slice of something which in it's better days might have been a section of boiled parsnip. It is as depressing as one l of those objects that Rogue Rid-, erhood once dredged from the Thames and is by no means attrac- | tive. And why should anyone need. 1 information as to how to fry par snips?

There is great activity all at once in the brewing business and this does not mean home brewing, either. The old breweries that survive are being overhauled and made ready for production.

An Early Situation

If Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt ae eepts President Hoover's invitation to par ticipate in conferences at which this nations policies of state in regard to further debt moratoriums will be discussed he should realize at an early date what the next four years hold in store for him. No other president-eleet has ever been asked to engage in such shaping of. national policies. al though history does record that several considered taking this action. President Woodrow Wilson has received much public ity of late weeks because he intended to follow course that would have had similar results in 1916.
 The Wilson story has been related several times in these columns. In brief it was this. Wilson, if he was defeated by Charles Evans Hughes for reelection. would have named President-elect Hughes his secretary of state. first having secured the resignation of the incumbent in that department. Then both he and ce-president Marshall would have resigned. Thus the new president would have assumed office four months ahead of time War conditions demanded such action believed Wilson. However. the plan didn't have to be tried.
 At one other time a president considered 1t vital to call upon his successor to acquaint himself with the arduous duties beforehand. That was Lincoln. But he. like Wilson. didn't have to carry out his purpose. In this present instance it is a moot question whether Roosevelt's presence at Washington in the next few months could accomplish any worth while purpose. In the first place he would have no official position at con ferences that might be called adherence, could voice no ideas or recommendations that might reveal his views on foreign debts and disturbed international economic conditions. And last but not least Mir Roosevelt doubt less has some ideas on these subjects that are at variance with those of the Hoover ad- ministration. His presence. therefore. might only intensity partisan feeling and create situation that would prevent amicable set- clement in the future. If Mir Roosevelt wants to go down to Washington to see how President Hoover and his aides deal with the foreign situation. let him do so. but let his be merely spectator.

Perhaps the greatest engineering feat that is now going on in the United States reached a peak point this week when the waters of the Colorado river were diverted from the course they have hewn out of solid rock through hole in the middle-high canyon walls that hem it in near Boulder City. Nevada. The task of diverting the river through tunnels ehiselled through solid rock cliffs has been in herculean one. Now engineers can proceed to throw mighty breastwork across the river bed to form the Hoover Dam. It will take three years to build this dam. yet it's effects will be felt for many times that number.

EAGLE
 BEATS RUSSELL IN HARTFORD GO

Hartford, June 16--Mickey Rus sell, the fistic pride of East Hart ford. dropped a decision to Charlie Eagle of Waterbury in three rounds at the St Mary's Mems club show in the Hurley Stadium last night. The aggressiveness of the East Side kayo kid was more than offset by well planned defense and flashing left hook displayed by the Waterbury boy, who won each round.
 Steve Carr, the Rockville mid dlewelght 0utpunched Jackie Brown, Hartford negro. in three rounds full of action. The colored fighter carried the battle to Carr continually and despite crashing rights to the head and body con- tinued to walk in and keep punch ing. Both were tired in the final round but Carr had scored the greater number of points with his clean hits.
 Columbus Lowe. Hartford negro welterwcight, gave Chester Buddy. state welterweight champ, a box ing and a punching lesson in three rounds. Chester was on the run. catching 'em as he moved away, nearly every minute.
 The comedy number which usu- ally appears on every card devel- oped in the heavyweight battle be- tween Nick Twerdy. of Williman- tic. and Jery Gerryo. of Collins vile. Gerryo, of aldermanic pro- portions. proved to be nothing more than punch receiver but Twerdx. connecting with both hands to the body and head, failed to bring hls opponent down. Referee Billy Conway tired of the orie-sided con- test and stopped 1t in the third round. giving the Willimantic fight CT the credit O. technical knock out.
 Results follow: Mickey Russell. 158. East Hartford. lost decision to Charlie Eagle. 156.

 BATTLE TONIGHT

West New York. N. J.. June 16. --(UP)-Twelve thousand boxing fans are expected to swarm into the ball park here tonight to wit ness the 10-rounder between Ernie Schaaf, Boston heavyweight, and Stanley Poreda of Jersey City.
