CIVIC HEAD HITS
d ROAD PLAN

Challenging proponents of the
Byrd Plan of State Road Control
on Arlington County, Va, to pro-
duce evidence to show the State
would pay prevailing county
wages for road labor, William C.
Hull. chairman of the Civic fed
Grafton committee opposing the
plan last night, declared labor
might be paid Is cents an hour
if the plan was approved by
voters.
Hull claims kilograms ex,
changed with H. G. Shirley, State
Commissioner of Highways in
dicate an evasive attitude by the
State on the labor question. Hull
believes if the plan is carried the
hours of work would not be re-
stricted nor would the wages be
up to standard.
Evasion was also charged on
the question of convict labor use.
Highway officials do not con-
template the use of prison work
erS.
A special election will be held
Tuesday in the county to decide
whether the plan, similar to one
now operating in North Carolina,
would be retained or whether the
county would control their own
roads.

to man." he said. It has the power to lift the life of man higher than any of us have yet dared to dream about. When man has achieved control of that power. the mir aeles of the present age will seem insignifi- cant in comparison. and man may at last achieve an existence akin to that of the Olympian gods"
 Working electrical miracles. however, is not everything. There is flaw in human progress which Dr Pupin points out little sadly. He regrets the tragic lack of de- velopment of human love- the continued existence of hatreds. ignorance, petty jealous ies and prejudiees. Those things he believes, cause both wars and business depressions They also handicap material progress "As long as mans spiritual being is retarded in its growth, we will be unable to enjoy to the fullest the fruits of material progress. Spiritual being is retarded in its growth. we will be unable to enjoy to the fullest the fruits of material progress" Spiritual de- velopment is of as great importance to the materialist as to the ideaist, but 1t seems a lot harder to achieve than physical develop ment.

Mustn't Say the Naughty Words

On the same day that the Marine Corps announced the sending of one of its most decorated heroes to Paris. France, for study in the Ecole de Guerre (School of War) Dr Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Colum- bia University, in radio address advocated the abolition of our War Department. He would substitute for it Department of National Defense. There is a War College in Washington, too. We have often written screeds about tariffs. export debentures and other things discussed in Washington, pointing out the power of names and titles. If tariff, for instance, were called a con- sumers' tax. which, of course, it is is, it would have harder climbing.
 Now Dr Butler was speaking in response to an address by W. de Munthe Morgen- stierne. Norwegian Consul General. an nouncing the joint award to Dr Butler and Miss Jane Addams of Hull House. Chicago. of the Nobel Peace Prize for 193l. and he gave nine practical suggestions for outgrow- ing the war habit. War between nations" he sad is as much out of date as the tor- ture chamber or the scalping knife" He suggested that the word war in the titles of government departments is not compat ible with the Pact of Paris renouncing war as a national policy. This Kellogg -Briand Pact, he predicted, will be looked upon as the supreme act of our age.'
 Each of the 49,000,000 persons gain fully employed in the United States pays almost fifteen dollars year as his share of the S727,745,593 spent by our federal government for national defense. (This figure does not include non-military ex- penditures, such as national cemeteries, parks, homes for disabled soldiers, etc., We agree with Dr Butler. We would pay our fifteen dollars more willingly to support Department of National Defense than one labeled with the name of an outlawed poll icy. And while we are ruling out words that enslave us, let's delete the word "depression.

Hartford Gets Trolley Share

Away back in the Nineties the city of Waterbury entered into an agreement, whereby it thought the street railway com pany of the city would always pay two per cent of its gross annual receipts into the city treasury, but in trial of the issue some 25 years ago. the trolley company won by divided decision of the supreme court. The agreement was entered into for the privilege of using the public highways of the city.
 This of the past is brought to our atten- ton this week by the announcement that the city of Hartford will receive about S32.000 as its share of the trolley company's gross receipts, under the so-called Tucker grant entered into about the same time Waterbury dickered with the trolley interests. This amount does not include bus fares. But poor old Waterbury never got cent for the great street privilege granted at the time.

Need New Amendment

Although it may be of little benefit to him now Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt last week reiterated the stand that he adopted towards prohibition a year and half ago. Of recent months much has been made of the governors silence anent the prohibition question. However, his statement of last week was plain enough for anybody. He is today as opposed to the present form of prohibition as he declared himself to be ln a letter to U. S. Senator Robert F. Wagner in September l93O. At that time Roose to remove the force of the eighteenth and to permit state control of liquor.
 Mayor James M. Curley of Boston. who has taken it upon himself to become the New York governors champion in New England stated before sailing for the West Indies last week that Governor Roosevelt would shortly call for national referendum on the prohibition question, It is said in political circles that the governors refer ence to bis letter of l930 was his reply to Mayor Curey and that there will be no further declarations on the subject until Governor Roosevelt is nominated or until 1t becomes absolutely necessary for him to do SO.
 Anybody, though. who has followed Governor Roosevelt's career should know that he is far too progressive to ally himself with the cause of prohibition. We don't doubt but what he is eager to support any temperance movement in this country as are most public-spirted citizens. but he recog nlZes that constitutional amendment to force temperance upon all peoples was not the proper procedure. Doubtless as far as he is able he will work to correct the state of affairs now existing in the United States He has done as much as he could with the New York legislature along these lines. What more can be asked of him.
 But Mir Roosevelts wet stand may not even be of any avail to his presidential chances now that Ex Governor Smith has placed himself in the line of receptive can didates There are plenty of admirers of both men who will support Smith in pref erence to Roosevelt. Had Smith remained silent on bis presidential aspirations or even ventured one little word in behalf of Roose- welt. we don't doubt but what the New York governor would have been swept into the nomination on the very first ballot As it is now he must take bis chances with half a dozen other candidates who stand equally as good chance of being nominated

LAW AND LIQUOR PRESCRIPTIONS
(New Britain Herald


 A dean at the University Of Chi cago enunciated the observation that most prescriptions for liquor are illegal, and that therefore doc tors add to the breaking of the dry law when they issue such prescrip- tions. He especially cited the situa- tion in Connecticut, where all doc tors appear to have liquor pre- scription blanks.
 This is not a new complaint. It is open to qualifications. however. Because a physician has liquor blanks does not mean he fails to exercise care in issuing such pre- scriptions. He Is circumscribed by a law which doe not permit him to be reckless.
 There are some states, the dean mite cite, where the majority of doctors do not have liquor pre-. scription blanks, so that it can be assumed they do not prescribe le- quor for colds or similar diseases Investigation usually determines however, that in such states there is deal of moonshining and that the average person requiring H. quor for a cold does not need to bother a physician for a prescr1p- tion.
 In many of the southern states for instance, the physicians cannot remotely compete with the moon sinners and their traffic. In sucr states it is possible to obtain good corn whiskey without prescrip- tions. In Connecticut the record oi liquor prescriptions in the hands of the doctors would indicate that a large proportion of their custom. CTS are inclined to be more law abiding.
 This is not to be taken as idle palaver without point. It is reason able to believe, for instance, as the people in the state are more law abiding in all other matters-nevel engaging in lynching parties ol such violences, for instance-w, also can be regarded as being more law-abiding in connection with thu use of liquor obtained through physicians.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1932-02-09

And yet one more senator has publicly allied himself with the forces working to change our present liquor laws. Senator w.. Warren Barbour of New Jersey is following in the footsteps of his predecessor, the late Dwight w. Morrow. Last week he an- nounced that he would work for ineorpora- ton of wet plank in the platform of the republican party at the national convention in June. He believes that the experience of the last decade and a half has shown conclusively that the prohibition law as now framed is impossible of enforcement and that the evils that have sprung up as a result are far worse than the good 1t was claimed could be accomplished. l strongly favor therefore, courageous stand by the republican party in its platform. for l be- lieve that prohibition is second in import ance only to the economic situation and unemployment ...'

Boy Scout Week

The Boy Scouts of America. which IS this week celebrating its twenty second birthday in Boy Scout Week, is move ment rather than an organization, especially in that it aims to supplement existing or ganiZations such as the home. church and school by engaging the leisure energies of the boys in outdoor games and activities of cultural and practical values. The aim of the scout movement IS to lnculcate char acter, which is essential to success in life, but being largely a matter of environment, is too generally left to chance, often with deplorabe results. The scout movement en- deavors to supply the required environment of ambition through games and outdoor activities, which lead boy to become better man, good citizen. From the first and without waiverlng in its purpose the Boy Scouts of America has emphasized at every point those two objectives charac- ter buJding and citizenship training.
 The process of making real men out of real boys by real program that works has been described as the essence of the boy scout plan The Boy Scouts of America, part of a great world organization of youth now numDer1nS, W1tn US ledOelS HoIe lildH 100000 active members in g countries, IS once again emphasizing the principles underlying the movement
 Scouting is outdoor life, and so health. strength happiness and practical education. By combining wholesome. attractive. out door activities with the influence of the Scout Oath and Law, the movement de- velops character. It develops far in inlta- tive and resourcefulness. It helps boys. It insures good citizenship. The boy scout movement healthfully and sanely offsets the disadvantages which civilization has caused.
 One of the most remarkable demonstra- tions of recent years has been the service rendered by boy scouts in relief projects Boy Scouts have collected hundreds of tons of clothing, shoes and food for the cold and hungry; have canvassed homes and busi- nsss houses by the thousands, to find open jobs for men needing them, and have dis tributed millions of dodgers and circulars urging public cooperation in relief endeav- ors And now the boy scouts are celebrating in Scout Week. their 22nd anniversary. Let's show our appreciation of this fine and unsel- fish service.

MELLON AND MILLS
(New Haven Journal-Courie.

(New Haven Journal-COuries)
 After nearly eleven years as sec- retary of the United States treas ury, Andrew w. Mellon has in- formed President Hoover that he will accept the appointment as ambassador to Great Britain suc- ceeding Charles G. Dawes whose resignation was announced last month. MT Hoover has said that he felt MT Mellon has the expe- rience and the ability to fill the position especially during the cur rent economic period. MT Mellon
 is acquainted with finance, and, with this understanding of eco- homie affairs he should be capable of dealing with international prob-
 lems.
 The confirmation of MT Mellon's appointment will terminate the longest tenure of a secretary of the treasury in more than a century The post has gone to Ogden L. Mills who has been under secre- tary of the treasry. and for some years has borne the real burdens of the department. He is well fit- ted for the position, having the confidence, not only of government leaders, but of business men as | well.
 Both men are before the public as leaders in whom rest the hopes of millions. MT Mellon at the court of St James will be in position to definitely contribute to tht | peaceful relations of the two coun' tries. He will also be in a position | to aid in the adjustment of inter | national affairs. MT Mills, as sec.
 retary of the United States treas.
 ury, will occupy an important | place in the restoration of norma times in this country. The eyes ol the world will rest upon these two men as they go to their new posts

The famed Hindoo trick of tossing a rope into the air and having boy climb it only to vanish in midair still mystifies those who profess to have seen it accomplished. However, we have never yet read or heard of an actual demonstration of the same ex cept under conditions most suspicious for the magician. Oddly enough it is never in- cluded in the pack of tricks that the magi- clans who appear in our local theaters perform It still remains colorful because is is surrounded with all the mysticism of the Far East We never believed it could be done nor can be convinced until it is actually performed. And naturally being trick actual performance of the same is impossible.

According to the Hartford Times of last Saturday, John Buckley, United States district attorney, figures prominently in po- ltical discussions among republican leaders who express uncertainty over the party's state ticket for the forthcoming elections. In recent years Major Buckley has been in- active politically after career in politics which made him d power in his party. His chief political activity since he left the legls- latve halls has been to maintain republican supremacy and solidarity in his native Tol- land county and he is recognized as repub- lcan leader of that section of the state. Lately. however. friends have been urging him to expand his political interests. These friends. who include men active in the state organization. frankly admit that they would like to see him oppose Governor Cross for the governorship this fall, They even go further in their endorsement of the ma jor by expressing the wish that he would lend himself to movement which eventually might put him into the position of success sor to Mir Roraback when the latter chooses to retire from active leadership of the party. ...."
