Otto Kahn's
Plan


Yet all the time plans are
proposed to get the Govern
ment of the people, by and
for the people in America,
out of the reach of the people
and in the hands of cliques,
and eminent individuals. "
We do not know that such is
the purpose of Otto Kahn's
plan for a high economic
board to determine the eco
nomic destiny of the Ameri-
can people, but such would
be the effect of his scheme.
1t has in it the germs of
sound constructive action,
but for the fact that the
board is to be effectively di-
vorced from the people. The
President is to appoint the
board at first, and thereafter
the board is to continue not
only beyond the reach of the
people but of the President.
1t is to be a self-continuing
body which means that
when one member dies or re-
signs the others choose his
successor. We can readily
imagine the economic outlook
of the board that President
Hoover would appoint; and
if a self-continuing body the
kind of board it would re-
main perpetually; and we
have no stomach for a plan
to turn over the economic
destinies of 100000
people to these eminent in
dividuals" beyond the reach
Of the people whose very
lives, prospects, hopes they
control.

that bankers neither violate

And there is another rea-

policy, it is necessary to

days of war we do suspend
constitutional guarantees but
without any thought of aban-
doning the Constitution; we
suspend for the moment as
an emergency measure.

seem that just now the
American Government would

moving Americans from the
mountains of dynamite tenn
porarily. That would no
more mean the abandonment
of the "open door" than the
suspension of constitutional
guarantees in war days
means the abandonment of
the Constitution.
If the Administration does
not know it, some one should
tell it that the American
people are in no temper or
condition to plunge into an
other war before the last
wars obligations are meas
urably liquidated to main
tain the "open door" which
is not even menaced.
It would be sheer crimi-

people into a war because of
anything that has happened

Senator Glass
Bank Bill
It may be that Senator
Carter Glass bank bill
should be amended some
place or other; but there
is no damnation to his mea-

of the bankers and a good
portion of the press. We re-
member so we'll that the
bankers and the press were
all agreed that Senator
Glass Federal Reserve bill
was unthinkable; that the
bankers convention at Bos-
ton all but mobbed one
banker who sought to speak
for it.
And then we also recall
that during the saturnalia of
gambling with the G. o. P.
bubble on the market when
Senator Glass sounded a
note of warning and called
on the Administration to
moderate the frenzy, he was
pounced upon with denun-

was right in both cases and
they will have to do more
than flippantly dismiss his
bill as "unsound" to con-
vince us that they are right
and he is wrong.
No Bank Failures
In England
During the last year there
have been 1920 bank failures
in America representing as
sets of close to two billion
dollars. The explanation is
that we have had a tragic
economic collapse. But we
have not yet seen the ex-
planation for the fact that
England which has had an
economic collapse, which
politicians in Washington
say is much worse than ours,
has not had a single bank
failure.

It has been stated before that lifting the left heel is not necessary in iron play.
 Yet many players find it diff cult to bring the body around without lift of the heel. They seem to feel cramped in the left knee and, in their effort to keep the left heel on the ground. tighten and fail to complete the backswing.
 To the player who has had diff ficulty in playing a shot in this manner I would advise to stand with the feet a bit closer together and to turn both feet slightly to- ward the ball so they almost point at right angles to the direction line. This will allow the left knee to bend in toward the ball and enable you to complete the backswing.

 IN STATE CIRCLES
Sport Editors Sent Ques= tiOnnaires for COnstruc- tive Criticism and Sug= gestiOnS

Connecticut sport writers were recipients of letter from Boxing Commissioner Tom Donahue this week in the form of a question naire to eleviate boxing and wrest- ling in Connecticut to a higher plane.
 The letter follows: To the Connecticut
 Sports Writers:
 It is my ambition to have. box ing and wrestling on higher plane in Connecticut than in any other state. May I depend upon your cooperation in the form of constructive criticism and sugges- tions as to how we can bring Con- necticut supremacy in the conduct of its ring sports?
 A few questions have been uli- der consideration for some time. am taking the liberty of submitting you forward to me your opinion on each. You may be assured that I will give full consideration to your reply and it may help us in improving boxing and wrestling both for participants and specta- tors. They are:
 1. Has the resumption of draw decision helped or hindered pro- motors? (B) Wrestlers and box CTS? co Pleased the spectators? :? Is the present system better than the compulsory award to one of the participants?
 2. Is the present state rule re- garding the length of time between bouts too drastic? Would you de- crease or increase the intervals :? Should the amateur boxers be forced to perform under the same rules as the professionals in this?
 3. Would a bulletin service, ts- sued weekly from my office, con- >taining suspensions, reinstate- ments, a list of bouts for the week to come and record of bouts and decisions of the week just past provide you with material which you could use to advantage? Would you be interested in excerpts from bulletins of the National Boxing Association? Also from National Wrestling Association?
 4. Have you any suggestions on any other phase of the sport which in your mind would aid this de- partment in achieving our ambi- ton of making Connecticut the model state as far as boxing and wrestling are concerned? If SO will you please explain them in de- tail.
 Your early reply will be appre- ciated.
 Very truly yours,

CELCAUDA AND WEST IN HARB0R
 SWIM TO-DAY

Naugatuck, Sept 3-Naugatuck- ans will focus their attention upon New Haven this afternoon when the annual Register cross-harbor three mile A. A. swim will be con- ducted commencing at D. m.. AL though late in entering his name, Alec (Gimbo) Sullivan, one of the best football players and the pre- mier swimmer ever turned out in Naugatuck, is expected to be at the starting line on schedule. Sul- ly jointly holds the three-mile mems championship with Bob Johnson of Mansfield Grove, the pair having finished in a dead heat a year ago. No little interest is being centered upon thet hree-mile womens swimming championship race also to be held this after noon.
 Miss Margaret Scully. daughter of MT and Mrs Patrick Scully of Prospect street, title holder for the past several years, will seek to re- tain her crown. The popular young student nurse has not been able to do as much training swim ming as she would like to for such a swim, but nevertheless ranks as | the favorite in small field this | year.
 Sullivan holds the record for 1 crossing from Savin Rock to Light house Point in less than 57 min- utes. According to reports re- ceived by his manager and brother, F. Edward Sullivan. who will &C., | I,t r,1- mer from the vicinity of the Elm minutes. Sullivan, who is now a daddy was decisively defeated at | Clear Lake, Branford, last Sunday by Bob Johnson. who has been his closest rival in two and three mile 'swims during the past two years. Many pick Johnson to de- feat the local ace to-day. Others point to Sullivan's two victories in l three races with Johnson this year and are firm in their belief that the modest Beebe street rubber worker will regain sole possession l of the three-mile crown and Regis ter trophy.
 Advices received in the Sullivan camp have,it that competition this afternoon will be more stern than ever before for the champion. In addition to Johnson the we'll known Jackie Harte, Gus Langner and Harold Lathrop are termed serious competitors of Sullivan. While Sul- livan is not as young as he used to be, he has engaged in a stiff sched- ule of races this summer and is ex. pected to be in condition for the long trek across the jellyfish in. fested harbor waters. Any one o1 the several swimmers mentoined may win the race in the opinion of an expert follower of Sullivan who has accompanied the local acc on several of his swims.

M'CARY TO PLAY
 WITH HILLS ELEVEN

The response of the players to the first call of the season issued last night was very gratifying to the Hill management.
 Many new faces were mingled with the old and when Coach Pipp placed the ball in position for sig nal practice one of the strongest semi-pro teams that has ever rep resented this section of the city and the very city itself took the field. Captain Lou Wells was at the cen- ter berth. Lou has many years of semi-pro ball behind him with the West Ends. Eddie Hogan promis- ing heavyweight fighter of Chick Lawson's stable and formerly of the Brooklyn Steamrollers was at right guard. Futile, mainstay of the Hill line last year dug his cleats in at the left guard position. Art Hassingcr former Wilby tackle held down his old position and was flanked on the end by Buckmeyer, star of the Watertown Lumbermen and St Mary's of Oakville. At the other tackle berth was the steady and dependable Harry Borack and Tom Mulcahy, star of the Hill and local lad held forth.
 Captain Cappaletti called the signals for the best backfield ever seen locally. Ohio who ran wild for the Hills in the Plainville game last fall was at right halfback. "Tarzan" MacCary showed at left half and was so enthusiastic about the prospects of the team this year that he begged d ball from Coach Pipp to get in some private prac- tice. The find of the year and a man who is destined to go far in .etate football this year tore through the line repeatedly for long gains -"Dutch" Kiessling, 205 German thunderbolt.,
 Along the sidelines the new men grouped themselves and watched Coach Pipp set forth his new at tack of spinners, delayed bucks and reverse plays. He also explained several forward pass plays that will be tested as soon as the men round into proper condition.
 Voss, Buck Martin. Fibre, Tub Der, Piero and several others were present at the practice. It is ru- mored that Carty and several other South End men will be seen in the Hills lineup this year when they open up their campaign at Hamil- ton park in few weeks against one of the representative teams of the state.
 This years team is one of the strongest and heaviest that the fans of Waterbury will be permit ted to see. The line averages 1SO pounds, and the backfield 17O pounds.
 = Games are being booked with Ansonia, Naugatuck, Torrington Hartford and Plainvile. It is the belief of the Hills management that the fans of Waterbury want nothing but the best teams and that they will willingly contribute to see such teams. They Will bring the strongest teams of the state to Waterbury and for an opening number will most likely present the Pioneer A. c. of Hart ford, who defeated the Hills by two touchdowns last year. The Bristol West Ends and Danbury Trojans who hold decisive victories over the Hills will also be met dur ing the course fo the season as the Hills fear no team and are open to all cnallengers. For games answer through these columns ol write to Manager Pat Travisano al AS East Farm street.
