Sari Martha in
Paramount Feature

Although she's been a resident OF
the United States for more than a
year, Sari Martha can't get used to
the fact that Americans keep their
rooms too hot and their drinking wa
ter too cold.
Miss Martha, beauteous golden
haired English screen player, who
has the leading feminine role in eve
nlngs for Sale" smart Viennese mu-
steal romance currently on display at
the Paramount Theater, has seen q
good deal Of the world, but there are
a number Of typically American phe-
nomena to which, she says, she Just
hasn't managed to get accustomed.
The hot rooms and the cold water
are among them. She also wonders at
the size OF newspaper headlines and
the bulk of Sunday newspapers. Gum
chewing still puzzles her. The speed
at which people drive automobiles
through city traffic, particularly when
they're not going anywhere In partic-
ular, amazes her.
Most Of all, she's impressed by the
youth Of Americans. I've met q doz-
en- young men who looked like high
school sophomores, ana turned out Il
have graduated from college several
years before" she explains.
Miss Martha, who was born Of an
English father and Viennese mother
in Tientsin, China, and was educated Il
France, Germany. England and Switx
erland, made her screen debut IN
Hungarian picture, was brought K
England to play IN British films, an,
there attracted the attention Of Amer.

ten by an American, has been trans
ferred to the screen in Tiffanys Pro-

The touching and tender narrative
of q young girl, born under the stigma

heart Of several generations of Amer

quantities that make "best sellers"

The vitality Of the story, and the
place that It occupies as a staple Of

The Waterbury Democrat., 1932-12-19
The Military Dole

Congress supposedly balanced the gov- crnmcnt budget last spring. Yet the prospect
 is that by the end of the present fiscal year there will be deficit of somewhere between Sl.00O,O00,00O and $2,000, 100000. So Congress must tackle the problem again. Ev- cry possible source of additional income or curtalment of expense is being examined.
 In this search by statesmen, business men and economists, it is inevitable that atten- ton is drawn to the Veterans Administra- ton, which is now costing more than any other department of government. Attention is eentered especially on the pension rolls covering disability NOT connected with war service. The law providing for such pay ments, enacted only two years ago, IS al ready applied to more than 380,0 900 World War veterans, with the number growing at the rate of 15,000 month These service pensions alone, not counting the liberal pen sions for actual war disabilities. of which there is much less criticism, have already passed $100, 000,0 year. Atsthe present rate, there will soon be 100000 service men drawing such non-service payments.
 The United States Chamber of Commerce demands total reduction of $400.000,000 in the present Veterans Administration ,ex- pendtures of more than $1000, 900, ,000 a year. pointing out many abuses of public generosity. The National Economy League asks for a cut of $452,000,000. There is growing demand that any cut of the sort should at least wipe out the payments fo: disabilities unconnected with war service. whatever may be done about the others.
 There is no inclination to be stingy with veterans who were actually incapacitated by their war service. or with the families of such veterans. As for those now entitled by an ver-generous law to draw pensions which most of them never asked for, but which they naturally take advantage of as long as the law is on the statute books they are merely benefttng by a special military dole. It seems only fair to say that there should be no such dole unless it is available to other citizens, too, when they become disabled.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1932-12-19
Advice To Technocrats

There has been endless discussion since the 'Technoerats" a group of engineers in New York, began giving the results of their 10 years study of industry. Mechanical pro- gress. they insist. has gone so far that 1t is possible for us to get along working four hours day. four days week. 10 months in the year. and only between the ages of 25 and 45 years. and on that basis to have 10 times as much of everything as we have now.
 They hold that we have got into our present economic jam by using bad sys- tem. They talk of abandoning the "priee system" and adopting a unit of mechanical energy as the unit of general values. They hint that industry, commerce, finance and the social scheme in general must be recognized
 or there will soon be general smash-up of civilization. but do not presume to tell how. And that is just as well. For if the whole economic and political system, has to be rsvamped. thai is job for the experts in
