THIRTY OUT OF GLOUCESTER
(Hartford courant)

Gloucester no longer lives exclu- siveiy by the sea, as she once did, but captains courageous still put out of Gloucester as they did when the city was a mere village sup plying fish for much of New Eng iand. Their ships are different to- day, for Diesel engines trailing soot have largely replaced canvas. but the sea they sail has not altered. nor, in spite of radio. have the periIs they encounter much dintir- ished. Men are still whisked into the depths by heavy seaboots when they fall overheard. Dories still get separated from their ships In the fog. Seas still sweep the decks and, despite the fact that most masts today are mere vestigial re- mains, used mainly for hoisting and unloading and dragging travis, gear stiff falls from aloft on ma riner's head.
 Thirty men out of Gloucester were lost at sea last year, and trib- ute has just been paid to them In that most beautiful of memorial services which the town conducts. Fiowers for each of the thirty were thrown into the harbor at high water. to be washed out into the oceai, as the tide ebbed, and then a scattering Of petals for all the seamen, from the Aborigine who first tumbied of raft down to, the present, who have been lost at sea. Gloucester alone has rnourned eight thousand men who never re- turned from their voyages. Every year she will mourn for others ul- fil iandsmAn no longer eat fish or the sea is tanned.

According to the most authentic reports former Mayor David E. Fitzgerald of New Haven will not seek the nomination for U. S. Senator on the democratic ticket. When interviewed this week on his candidacy he declared emphateally, T am not can ddate for United States senator. hat should end for once and for all the rumors to the effect that he would be given the nom ination. It is claimed that the Fitzgerald boom was started in an effort to soothe the feelings of New Haven democrats who might be disgruntled when they learned that Major James A. Shanley was not going to be en- dorsed by all the third congressional district democrats for the nomination of representa- tive. The democratic candidate in this dis trict stands fine chance of being elected this fall and if so, will participate in the short session of Congress to be held in December. as the present republican incumbent, Colonel John O. Tilson. hopes to retire as soon as the necessary arrangements can be made for somebody to fill his place without special election being called. Whoever is elected in November could hold office in Tilson's unexpired term, as Representative Ned Goss of this city did that very thing when he succeeded the late James P. Glynn of Winsted two years ago. Mayor frank Maloney of Meriden seems to have the ma jority of third district democrats backing him now, although there may be last minute switch to Shaney who made the run two years ago and was the first to announce his candidacy this year.

BY RODNEY BUTCHER NEA Service Writer

statesmen of the administration, men whom President Hoover has appointed to high office in the last three years or so, will carry the bod for the republican ticket as the campaign oratory begins to thickenu.
 The most feverish loyalty to Hoover is to be found right in the cabinet, whose members have been partly responsible for the conduct of the administration and are eager to defend 1t. That's where the most important speeches will come from, except those that may be made by Hoover himself.
 Some of the cabinet members are not regarded as such hot stuff on the platform or over the radio as others and, although probably they all will be functioning before election day, the heavy work will fall to Secretary of the Tersaury ogden Mills, Secretary. of War Patrick J. Hurley and Secretary Q fthe Interior Ray Lyman Wilbur. As for Roosevelt
 Of course there are those who will suggest that this represents a sad fall from the heavy cam paign artillery that Hoover had in 1928, but 1t may be questioned whether the best of the cabinet boys won't compare favorably with the best of the Roosevelt orators.
 Roosevelt himself will make more speeches than Hoover and the chances are that he will put them over better, but unless he can recruit Guch pre-convcntion foes as Al Smith, Governor Ritchie of Maryland and owen D. Young and get them sepaking for him his assistant orators will look no more impressive than Hoover's.
 On the republican side, since Charles Evans Hughes has gone on the supreme court since his ef- fective campaign for Hoover in 1928 and Senator William p. Borah says he won't support any one who runs on that republican platform, the best possibility this year is none other than Calvin Coolidge, who used to be presi. dent.
 The Sanders Angle
 It Is said that the chief req. son Everett Sanders, former Cool idge secretary, was chosen as re- publican national chairman was that 1t was believed he could line Cal up for full and active support of the ticket. one can't think, offhand, of any other especially good reason. Be that as 1t may. Sanders has been tip to see Cool idge at Northampton and 1t does not yet appear that the ex-presi- dent has promised anything.
 A good bet Is that sooner or

later the frugal Cal will come through with single speech.
 Some of the republican sena- tors will lbe on the job, but most of them will be busy in their own states, especially those up for re- election.
 No one seems to expect a great deal of effort from President Charlie Curtis, although he cam paigned strenuously in 1928. Tho chances are that Mrs Dolly Gam. his famous half-sister. will be al- most as effective a drawing card if she campaigns this ycar--as she undoubtedly will.
 Mills and Hurley
 Meanwhile, the efforts of Mills and Hurley are not likely to Do anything to be sncexed at. Wilbur's campaign speeches doubtless will be scrutinized to sec that he doesn't tell any more voters that the de- precision has been fine thing for the children or that this Is q pro- pitious time for the unemployed to take tours through the national parks.
 But Mills, one of the most in- teliigent multimillionaires who ever came into the government, proved himself powerful. force- ful speaker when he defended the administration prwohibition plank at the Chicago convention. Short and chubby, he is never- theless regarded as tower of strength" and already has att. tracted much of the admiration the business world used to bestow on Andy Mellon.
 Hurley has q pleasant, dashing personality and knows no bounds when he goes forth to praise Her. bert Hoover.

Does Golf Pay?

Connecticut Industry. the official organ lzcf the Manufacturers Association of Con- neetieut. dispenses some advice in the cur rent issue that might be taken by our state and local officials But like all advice some of it should be taken merely at its face value. In other words. we can't agree with everything that was offered under the cap- , ton = Macs Philosophy. For example, item two said. "Airports, sewers, sidewalks, streets golf course, construction and main tenance must be drastieally eurtailed.' Item, Nthree read as follows: Don't be mislead on so-ealled self-supporing golf eourses-Up- keep often exceeds the income"
 We'll admit that airports and golf courses hseem like extravaganza when there are more
 domestic needs in our municipalities, but for city to declare moratorium on all civic improvement would, in our estimation. be step in the wrong direction. It would simply mean more men out of work. We don't advocate on the other hand ruthless authorization of expensive projects As for municpal golf courses it has been Connec- tieut's experience that they were good in- vestnents. We don't know any that haven't paid their own way. Of course times are hard now and every golf course can't expect to get by. Some will revert to their origin .---eow pastures - but not all
 In the majority of cases it isn't the golf course itself that constitutes an expense. It is usually the club attached to the course where the exepnse account goes into the red. That's why SO many of our municipal courses are paying their own way. They provide no social phase to the pastime of playing golf. They merely offer temporary ssholter and playing privileges at a small price, Perhaps we are wrong in advocating more public courses but we believe it is one way .ia which golf can be made available to all without cxorbitant club fees and assessments.

Stadium Opera

Possibly grand opera in America IS at the beginning of a development greater than this form of art has yet had anywhere. Opera abroad has usually been on rather small seale--in small theaters. with small com panies, reaching few people at a time. Am ercan handling may make it really grand in it's scope and vast in its appeal.
 Cleveland has been holding an opera sea- son in it's new stadium, attracting audiences of 10000 to l5.000 night after night for Carmen" Aida" and other standard operas. along with great Negro operatic spectacle The crowds are said to be the largest on record for such entertainment. And there is no apparent reason why they should not be much larger
 There are many stadiums in the United States capable of seating 10000 to 3O,OO0 people in such positions that they could see and hear adequately, with the aid of loud speakers as the audiences did in this case. In fact. it may be said that the mierophone and loudspeaker themselves are creating new operatic age. Properly controlled. this device might bring the voice of a great sing CT adequately to 100000 people assembled in one place. The combination of shelt- cred bleaehers and open sky. with great space. permits speetacles in such pieces as Aida splendid beyond anything formerly possible Wagner, Sophocles and Shake speare would have appreciated the posslbll- ities We shall doubtless see much progress along this line in the next few years. Our stadiums may come to be used as much for artistic purposes as for athletics.

they will gain twelve electoral seats in the reslignment of the members of the House of Representatives. This fall is the first
 time since reapportionment that congres- sional elections have been based on the changed House.
