DEMAND WILL BE MADE
FOR CUSTER OF WALKER
Charges to Be Filed Soon
Against Mayor With
Governor Roosevelt.

By United Press
NEW YORK, June 2.-Removal
of James J. Walker from office viii
be sought soon.
The United Press learned today
that the Hofstadter committee is
prepared to submit its data on the
mayor and his income, as gathered
by the committees investigation.
The committee and its counsel
Judge Samuel Seabury, may moi
make the removal demand, but VIII
submit evidence, based chiefly on
the claim of an alleged violation OF
a law against public officials hold
ing securities of concerns interested
in city contracts.
This evidence also will contain
data for possible action on the
claim that Walker failed satisfac-
tcrily to account for income he re-
ceived aside from salary.
Whitman Precedent Stands
Once the data is submitted-and
this probably will be before the
Democratic national convention, in
which Governor Franklin Roosevelt
will stand as a presidential nomi-
nee candidate-some citizen or civic
organization will be in a position to
submit a removal demand.
II appears likely now that this
will be the procedure. rather than
to have a direct demand from the
committee.
In connection with the city con-
tract phase, the Governor is likely
to be given a precedent which arose
in the regime Of former Governor
Whitman. AS to the question Of
accounting satisfactorily for income,
Roosevelt himself has said that the
proper standard for public officers
is that they be able to provide such
accounting.
Whitman removed a public serv-
ice commissioner for holding secur-
tiles of a public utility. While this
man turned over the bond to his
wife. Whitman held that, despite
technical nonownership by the Of
fetal, the spirit Of the law had been
infringed.
Walker contends that bond OF
a company given him was turned
over to his wife.
May Bother Roosevelt
The Walker issue may prove en-
barrassing to Roosevelt from a po-
litical standpoint at this time. Re-
moval of the mayor conceivably
might ALLEVIATE the Tammany dele
CATION at Chicago. with its heavy
votes, while retention of him might
be used possibly by political adyer-
saries claiming he was fearful OF
Tammany.

that New York politicians and their
associates have banked approx

The Return of Music

Music is coming back. Real music, that is to say, which people make for themselves, instead of noises made for them over the radio. The musical instrument people are selling pianos and little organs and violins and clarinets and flutes as well as the jazz instruments They are not getting the same wild prices as of yore, but they are meeting expenses and getting by.
 Music teachers who had begun to think they would never have work again in their own profession find old students coming back one by one Parents are making eau tious inquiries as to the price of lessons. They have begun to tire little of hearing Jane and Bobby pick out Good Night, Sweetheart and "Springtime in the Rock ies'' with one finger. They are inclined to think that even scales and Czerny exercises played under expert supervision might be easier on the family.
 Open-air concerts are finding favor. Peo- pie who have not money enough for ex- pensive weekend trips. lads who cannot dine and dance their Iasses with the freedom of fat pay envelopes find it pretty good fun to take the picnic supper and listen to the band or the orchestra playing light and jolly music.
 Groups of people who used to play lit- tie are stringing up the old fiddles and tun- ing the pianos and feeling things out bit. To find all over again that Mozart is su- preme1y lovely, even in modern world. is joyful experience. The trend is significant of deeper return. Whatsoever things are lovely instead of seeking novelty for its own sake no matter how far into shriek- ing ugliness it may lead - people are now beginning to be willing to think on these things"

safety of other motor traffi-; and to some extent at least for square deal for the rail roads which are obliged to build and main tain their own roadways and pay taxes on them.
 The Supreme Court. holding the law valid. made these clarifying statements. which should be of interest in all other states: The State has a vital interest in the appropriate utilization of the railroads which serve it's people. as well as in the proper maintenance of its highways as safe and convenient facilities. It cannot be said that the State is powerless to protect its highways from being subject to excessive burdens when other means of transportation are available.
 The use of highways for truck trans portation has its manifest convenience, but we perceive no constitutional ground for denying to the State the right to foster a fair distribution of traffic to the end that all necessary facilities should be maintained. and that the public should not be ineonvenenced by inordinate uses of its highways for pur- poses of gain

Panama Canal Losses

Railroad people resent the competition of- fered by canals, particularly government pro- jects such as the Panama Canal Figures for the fiscal year ending June 30. l932, how ever, show that the Panama Canal at least has not been prospering while the railroads suffered. Transits and tolls both dropped to the lowest level since 1923. There was an operating deficit of S657,163, not allowing for amortization or for treaty payments to Colombia.
 A few years ago the Canal was doing so we'll that it seemed in fair way to pay for itself. with prospect of lower tolls as we'll as profits. Now. the governor points out, there is no occasion to consider reduction of tolls Not even the railroads should gloat over this situation. It should be salu- tary for them to realize that theil transporta- tion rivals have troubles too in depressed times.

AN APOSTOLIC HAUL.
(Hartford Conrant)

Boston papers of Saturday carry a Gloucester item which will appeal to all who at one time or another have lived near the shore. for it tells of a phenomenal catch or mackerel made on Friday by Lewis Tarr. Tarr har trap set off Kettle Island S o u n d fishermen once termed trap a "pound"-but not often in their day did they make such a catch.
 Tarr with helper visited the trap in the morning and took lO,- 00O pounds of mackerel which he brought into port and sold at , cents pound. He returned to the trop in the afternoon and brought in 5000 pounds additional but his phenomenal catch of the morning had depressed the market so that he was paid only 1-2 cents pound for the second catch. At that his days work brought him S1.O95 of which he gave a third to his helper whose wages for the day were fairly good.
 One who enjoys, salt water nsn- ing is moved to wonder at the tale. A fisherman goes in Long Island Sound for day's sport and II ne returns with ten or fiftten pounds of fish he suffers from delusions of grandeur for the rest of the sum. mer. but two men chugging out of Gloucester bring in 13.0O0 pounds of Inackerel in one day, and are able to sell them! Why are there SO many fish off Gloucester and so few off Saybrook and points west There is something unjust in this,

WHY DRAG IN GERMS

The audacity of the charlatan is astound- ing He poses as health authority ana ne practices as a physician. He holds hlmseil out as Doctor Wood U. Believit. and as ms warranty for that he boldly announces that he has degree which no medical scnoo! or recognized educational institution grants. The charlatan no doubt invented his own degree. He knows his public.
 Here is his explanation or definition for tuberculosis: "A continuous splitting up of the waste prod ucts of bacterial decompostion."
 Please keep Tn mind particularly the char latan's acknowledgement that the waste proo- ucts are of bacterial origin. In other Woros something produced by germs. If your mino ! is capable of retaining that impression long l enough you will enjoy the sentence that lol- lows The charlatan goes on to say:
 ''The germ is merely an accident. The soil must be there first. It doesn't mat ter whether a tuberculosis germ is pres ent or one that produces pus There is second tacit and no doubt mad yertent admission that germs have something to do with pus-that germs produce pus Stick around. This fellow is humorous In another paragraph in the same harangue "a direct appeal to prospective customers- the charlatan says: the tonsils are loaded with pus and other products of putrescence.
 Again an unconscious admission that germs cause putrescence, for the juggler has aiready
 admits pus is a product of putrescence. It IS
 inesca pable, therefore that germs are con-
 cerned in putrefaction when puterfaction oc- CUTS in the tissues. , The. charlatan plainly implies, without putt ting the idea into honest words, that the toxins which he deems it necessary to throw off or eliminate" in any and all illnesses. are the products of germs, and that is the nearest he comes to the truth.
 The charlatan betrays his ignorance by re- ferring to chiropractcr thus Dr John Doe, D. C." whereas any eighth brade schoolboy knows it should be either pr John Doe or John Doe, D. c. if that is the mans degree, but never both. Just as it should be Wm. Brady M. D.. or Dr Wm Brady, but never Dr Wm Brady M. D. Again the charlatan be- trays his ignorance by referring repeatedly to toxic poison." Now poison is poison whether you think so in Anglo Saxon or in Creek and you can't make it any worse by calling 1t poisonous poison in both languages If you are just airing your deep erudition for an au-
 dience of yokels. why, maybe you can win the confidence of some of them by characterizing all poisons you deal with poisonous or toxic.
 But how any hnest individual or organization
 can foist you on the public as competent health authority is hard to understand, though
 not so hard it is to understand how the
 public can stomach you at all. Perhaps the
 organization that foists you feels that its share
 of the plunder you take from the gullible pub
 lie is sufficient to warrant the business. But
 for the life of me can't see how the intelh-
 gent portion of the public con support the
 racket with it's patronage

TUESDAY, JULY IF, 1882
Opposition For Cross?

According to Kenneth Wynne. executive secretary to Governor Wilbur L. Cross. re- cent criticism of the governors action at Chicago in seeonding the nomination of John Nance Garner for vice president on the democratic ticket was oceasoned by desire upon the part of former Mayor Alfred N. Phillips. Jr.. of Stamford to secure the gubernatorial nomination for himself. If he is desirous of busting Governor Cross :. from his position as leader of the democratic party in Connecticut, Mir Phillips is doing it in such way that will not make him popu lar with the rest of the party. No matter what Governor Cross did at Chicago. or how he may conduct himself with regard to old or new guard difference 1t must be remembered that he broke the reign of Rorabackism in Connecticut.
 We can't overlook this, come what may. When the democrats decided to nominate Dean Cross in 1930 he demanded that he be given free rein to pick and choose his campaign managers and advisers This was willingly granted him and as result the democratic party of Connecticut experienced its first gubernatorial victory in considerably over decade We thiLk that under the continued leadership of Governo- Cross the party could gain even more widespread vle- tory this fall than it did in 1930. But it must be remembered that since the governors personality and independence of spirit played an important part in. his victory at the polls it stands to reason that they must again be to Lo,r ftic fall
 We don t think that the democratic party can go out and nominate anybody this year and expect to see him elected. While most political writers are agreed that ths IS democratic year and that President Hoover will be defeated by Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt, this doesn't necessarily mean that the republican leaders of Connecticut are go- ing to submit to defeat without putting up fight. Chairman Rorabaek and his cohorts will be making strenuous efforts In another month or so to regain the ground they lost in lo30. And if the democrats permit them to do this by senseless display of factlonal- ism, they certainly deserve to be defeated However, we feel sure that Governor Cross won't submit to an withdrawal plans in- yolving his name without putting up good fight.s He deserves renomnation which we know will result in his reelection. The people of the state have learned to respect their governor for his strength of character and independence of political organizations.

RED CROSS FLOUR
tNew Haven Journal-c0u


 Although, as recently stated. the next Red Cross distribution of flour will be localized in Ansonia, further New Haven shipments to be announced at some later time, the appeal of Captain Neils I. Poulson to all agencies and societies. as we'll as to individuals to cooperate with him in flour distribution is generally applicable. Captain Poul- son is chairman of the flour com- mittee -. of the home service sec ton of the American Red Cross for this area. He asks all citizens to report at once to him and .ap- parent discrepancies in the flour distribution. Inasmuch as new shipment of flour is to reach An sonia the first of next week through National Red Cross headquarters. Captain Poulsen is anxious that those who are actually In need shall receive help.
 s Ina situation such as the present crisis. there always appear indi- viduals who try to better fherrI- selves by appearing needy when they are not. Whenever these un- principied people receive aid, some one who actually is in want must go without. Captain Poulsen makes a timely appeal It is the duty of every citizen to see to 1t that food goes where it is needed. It Is the patriotic thing to do to report any person or persons thought to be receiving aid when they are not in actual want. &t4cts

Our New Shore Park

The Rocky Neck State Park, which was opened this year to the public. bids fair to surpass the records made at Hammonassett Beach in the years of its existence. While the new seashore park IS nowhere as large as that at Hammonassett, 1t has many nat ural attractions, which will readily find favor with the public. In the two months of its use this summer it has been freely patronized. As more people become aware of its existence. we presume its popularity will increase At present it is nothing to see we'll over 1000 automobiles pass through the entrance on fair Sunday.
 Waterburians should be interested in the new shore resort inasmuch as Representative Daniel Mahaney was member of the legis- lative committee that made 1t possible. he lo3l Legislature appropriated the necessary money and voted for its acquisition and Tn the summer of 193l the neeess7~y land was bought. It comprises some 450 acres in which are woods. fields, bluffs, and one7half mile of beautiful sandy beach. It is located in the town of Old Lyme and is accessible to all parts of the state by good motor routes. Its natural advantages are such as to appeal to all.
 Connecticut now possesses three seashore state parks. two of which are available to the public. One is east of the Connecticut river, that at Rocky Neck. Hammonassett Beach lies between the Connecticut river and New Haven. The third beach, yet to be developed for public use, is in Fairfield county. It is on Sherwood Island and will soon be open to the general public. A recent lease of property on the island has made this possible Incidentally thi, state park IS the oldest one, although not developed. It was first acquired in 1914 and has been l8 years in the making. However, with these three shore parks available, Connecticut residents will be provided with some expanse of Long Island Sound that they can enjoy un- molested.

Cressida Gets More Than She
 Bargained For

The formula which John Frs kline used in his tales of Helen of Troy, Galahad and Adam and Eve was a pretty good one; and it, or something like it, pops to the surface again in "Cressida's First Lover," by Jack Lindsay, 8 sprgihtly offering of the current season.
 Cressida was the daughter of an ancient Trojan mathematician. and nothing much ever happened to her; so when her father went to a seaside town on business and took her along, Cressida decided to get busy and make some ex- citement.
 She started by vamping stoid sentry at her hosts seaside cas- tie, and it wasn't her iault that a band of pirates took advantage of the sentry's absence from his duty to pull off raid, of which sCressida herself was one of the prizes. Going to sea with the pirates, Cressida found all the excitement she had missed crammed into few short weeks of hectic living.
 What with escaping from the pirates and falling in with an ultra bashlul prince, becoming engaged to a dyspeptic king. yamping his prime minister and raising a furore that finally got her sold as slave, Cressida had a gay tale to tell when she at last got back home: and MT Lindsay makes out of it all yarn that will give you a great number of laughs.
 His story isn't another Helen of Troy" MT Erskine always puts a serious undercurrent into his stories; this novel is purf froth. But it's pretty fair froth.
 "Cressida.s First Lover" is pub lished by Ray Long and Rich ard R. Smith, and sells for$12.
