Ever since the peace treaties, Austria has been torn from her rightful heritage - an economic union in which she played such an important part because of her geographical position and cultural attainments. Vienna and Austria were, in sense. the heart of this economic empire. Victor F. J. Tlach, Austrian

Freight Cars On Highways

A recent decision of the United States Supreme Court regarding regulation of motor trucks is hailed by Texas newspapers as "a victory for good roads" and also "a victory for wei-regulated transportation" The court was dealing with state law which undertook to limit trucks to 1000 pounds capacity. This limitation. truek-owners argued would bar from use thousands of trucks and thus would be destroying prop erty without due process of law. They also argued that the law was unduIy favorable to railroads. The state legislature. in passing ihe law had been concerned for the safety of ib reads which were giving way under the bsttssins of heavy trucks; also for the

According to the Hartford Times of last Saturday Several names are being dicussed as possibilities for the United States senatorial nomination. No candidate has as yet come out of it, although at least two well known democrats are believed to be desirous of the post. One is Representative Augustine Lonergan and the other is Thomas Hewes of Pennington. Some party leaders are sug- gesting former Chief Justice George w. Wheeler of Bridgeport and others are try ing to prevail upon Homer S. Cummings to run. Another group has brought forward for consideration Professor Harry Morgan Ayers of Westport, professor of English at Columbia University. and former state legislator. =" We think that Mir Cum mings and former Chief Justice Wheeler can safely be excluded from too much con- sideration. Mir Cummings is too closely allied with the Roosevelt campaign to be ed to defeat Senator Bingham. And it would be embarrassing to nominate Chief Justice Wheeler with his decidedly dry opinions to run on wet ticket and against dripping wet opponent Representative Lonergan would make a good candidate, unless he wants to return to the lower House. SO would Mir Hewes We don't know whether the democratic ticket should be loaded with university talent. such as the nomination of Professor Ayers would mean. Wed rather rely on Lonergan or Hewes or better still somebody might induce Mayor Hayes to enter the race. He would make an ideal candidate.

The quarters will entirely replace the present issue which has been found far from satis- factory due to its raised surfaces, which fail to stand the test of constant handling. ln- cidentally the new pieces will also be con- strued as government participation in the Bi-centennial observance.

 He worked with incredible speed and energy. And Roose- welt came to the convention with I a substantial majority of dele- gates.
 Farley was still green at na- [ tional politics and sometimes ne blundered. He let others lead him. off on the wrong foot in the proposal to abandon the old two- thirds rule and he allowed certain of the party's loose-mouths, more loud than important, to grab too much limelight at Chicago. But he delegated important work to some good men, such as Bruce Kremer of Montana, Dan Roper and Homer Cummings. veterans who wound up their job by pulling out all the stops on the old Wilson Idealism in the criti- cal drive for the Texas and Cali Efornia delegates.
 The Chicago Strategy
 Farley must have worried frightfully after that third ballot and adjournment. He had held the delegates all night, believing the band wagon rush would start. But the opposition was. intensely bitter and w. C.. McAdoo hated Roosevelt because of his. manage ment of Al Smiths 1924 campaign. While those best qualified went to work on Speaker Garner and McAdoo, Farley was taking Ger mak of Illinois, Tom Pendergast iof Missouri and the Indiana bosses into camp on the representation that Roosevelt would eventually have Gamers delegates. Through all that day Farley outwardly was his smiling. optl- mistic self. And as soon as the
 nomination was over Farley was out among the governors bitter enemies, batting them an the
 back, trying to welcome them into the campaign.

 James A. Farley. the fast-thinking. 1ast-trading Irishman who is

 safely through the elimination
 bouts on his first entry into the larena of national politics.
 1 Now come the finals, with Jim
 managing one of the two contest ants in what may be a presiden- tial battle of the century-Roose- welt. vs Hoover.
 He is sure to do some splendid
 work in his new high post as na- tional chairman and campaign manager of the democrats. He
 may make some tactical blunders
 which will tax his demonstrate. . facility for leaping quickly from
 his own messes, but he is a fel- low with a flare for political sue cess and he is likely to be the
 most popular national chairman anyone will be able to recall.
 "Grand Line of BIarncy"
 Nearly all the most important
 men in the democratic party. along with the shrewd, hard
 boiled. powerful machine bosses ! who usually dictate nominations.
 have just been licked, if not out smarted, by this newcomer on the national scene who planned, organized and supervised the nomi- nation of Franklin D. Roosevelt. Energy, alertness, directness, shooting, quick political sense and d grand line of blarney which makes nearly everyone his friend were the chief qualities which
 enabled Farley to execute, that superb performance.
 More than six feet tall, only A years old, he has the build of a football player; blue eyes. white outlying hair. a boyish complex lion, a boyish smile. and the friend. Hest of manners.
 Neither Drinks Nor Smokes He doesn't drink nor smoke, but he chews gum on any and all occasions - chews it ferocious fly and fconspicuously. even on the platform as ,he brings his candf- date, Roosevelt, forth ro address the convention.

BOSTON MAY CUT ALL EMPLOYES
 OF ITS SCHOOLS
Civic and Commercial Bodies Recommend a Slash in. the Salaries Paid Them No W

Boston, Dec 29--(UP)-Reduc- ton of all Boston school employees saIaries has been recommended by civic and commercial organiza- lions.
 At a special meeting of the school committee yesterday. repre- sentatives of the Chamber of Com. merce, Boston Real Estate Ex- change, Boston Municipal Re- search Bureau, Massachusetts Tax Associa ton, and Natural Economy League advocated drastic cuts in school costs unless methods could be found to raise revenue from sources other than real estate.
 Eliot Wadsworth of tho Boston Chamber of Commerce declared that salaries of school employees constituted moro than 88 per cent of operating costs. Tt is obvious, therefore,,, he, said, "that salary re- ductions present tho most substnn- tial opportunity for atcurtailment of expense to meet the present emergency"
 Chairman William Arthur Reilly of the school committed, expressed the belief that the depression had nearly run its course. and fa- yored voluntary contributions av- eraginR 2 per cent of tho salaries of teachers and other employees to reduce the 1888 budget rather than m arbitrary pay cut.
