The Olympic Games

Any devotee Of sport can take in the
Olympic Games to be held this sum-
mer at Los Angeles-provided he has
the price.
The schedule Of fees to be charged
for the various contests has recently
been announced by the committee in
charge and, II one wishes to see the
entire performance, he can prepare to
shell out $83, II he is an adult, and
$4l.50 If he Is under 16 years of age.
The thousands of athletes who will
be on hand for the games will be
spread all over Los Angeles much Of
the time, however, and no person
would have opportunity to see all OF
the events, since competitions in diff
ferent activities will be staged in diff
ferent places at the same time.
The receipts from admissions will
be added to the funds collected by
the committees in charge In an effort
to defray the expenses, but 1t appears
almost certain now that there will be

made, the last shot has been fired and
the swimmers have made their last

YOU, whether you are manu-

No Doped Water

That Hartford will never depend upon reclaimed water for it's domestic eonsump- ton is clearly indicated in recent article in Water Works Engineering. written by Caleb M. Saville. manager and chief engi- neer of the Hartford Water bureau. Mr Saville is unusually outspoken in his at. taeks on the agitation for the use of pol luted waters for domestic use. Of course Mr Saville speaks with all the knowledge necessary upon such a subject. He is well known in his field and has just succeeded in expanding the Hartford water works. 50 that the city is protected for half cen. tury at least.
 The struggle of the metropolitan water district. encompassng Hartford and several surrounding towns, to go up to Bafkhom- stead for its future water supply is well known throughout the state. All of us wit messed the fight in the Legislature in ls31 with much interest as 1t might just as well have been Waterbury. New Haven or Bridgeport seeking these water grants. Roughly, the plan that was ultimately ap- proved by the General Assembly gave the StI Ne PoWet " HmPouHu Wstets H Ae valley of the west branch of the Farming ton river by construction of dam. Natur- ally there was objection to this as eonsd- erable farm land some day will be inun- dated But had the first plan gone through there would be two reservoirs where one is now considered.
 However. that is beside the point. We wonder if every city or town in this coun. try can command such natural resources which Mir Saville prefers to reclaimed wa ter. Perhaps there are few communities that some day may be forced to depend upon polluted waters for their supply. At the rate of present day pollution that isn't unbelievable. In fact we think there are cities today drawing upon polluted sources but purifying the water before placing it in city mains for domestic consumption. We presume these cities have done this simply because they were forced to it. If our na- tural sources of water are to be kept in- violate then we must learn not to empty raw sewage into them or permit factories to deposit their wastes in them.

Of Again, On Again

Judging by recent reports Tn our state papers, Professor Albert Levitt of Redding is starting on his periodical rampage. In his latest tirade against this. that, and the other thing he talks about kicking Harry Mackenzie republican county leader so hard that he won't ever be able to sit down again" Rather an un-Christan attitude, that, isn't it. professor. With all his faults the Fair field county republican leader prob ably doesnt need to be treated in this harsh and ungentlemanly fashion. Why not kick a few of these hypocritcal republicans who blow hot and cold alternately.
 Before the republican convention was as- sembled in Chicago they were shouting for repeal of the 8th amendment. After they learned that President Hoover couldn't af- ford to disappoint his many dry friends by supporting such plank they agreed to the most hopeless compromise that a political party ever wrote And to-day they are shouting loudly once more. It's just what we wanted. they maintain. If it is, why weren't they proposing it months ago. The situation is just the same to-day. as far as the republican party is concerned as it was immediately after the Wiekersham report was submitted Who can deny that ma jority of this commissions members were opposed to prohibition. Yet the president refused to let them come out as body and so state themselves.
 Concerning the taxes that could be raised on legalized sale of liquors. Professor Lev Vt sees merely two cent tax on lZ- ounce bottle of beer. At least that is pref srsble to per cent tax on electrical en- ergy consumed and which the domestic consumers must pay every month. This IS the professors pet province. We can't un-

By the time this is written Billy Burke the Union City lad who stsoksd his way to the national open golf ehampiosship last summer may have been mppIsnted by q new champion. We sincerely hope not. as the past year has been one of the worst that any national champion has had to expsr' fence. By that we mean conditions were 60 bad sll over the nation that the national open champion was not able to realize as heavily upon his title as ordinarily he might. In past years national champions needed just this one year to entfeneh them selves solidly for years to come. It seems too bad that Burke had to suffer thereby.

BY RODNEY BUTCHER NEA Service Writer

Chicago--There is a solid dem ocratic south and c solid republic can south.
 The republican solid south func. tons in June and the democratic south functions in both June and November, which Is to say that the dem ocrats of the south are the ones who win all the elections whereas the republicans of the south get the postoffices and other federal jobs and show up every four years at the republican convention with 250 or 800 delegate votes which invariably give the republican ad- ministration full control.
 The southern delegates, black and' white, vote solidly because their branch of the party subslsts on patronage and they know what will happen to them if they dis obey the men behind the pie coun- ter.
 South's Veto Power
 The south, in both parties, ap- pears to hold something of Q po- tential veto power over the north. Tho democrats can always be sure of getting all the south's electoral votes unless they nominate Al Smith and the republicans can al- ways be sure of not getting any southern electoral votes unless the democrats nominate Al Smith.
 The southern democrats can usually block a candidate for the democratic nomination if they try hard enough, thanks to the two. thirds rule and the southern re- publicans can be used by the dn- ministrntion to block things that are demanded by majority of delegates from the northern Htateu where the party either always wins or always has Q good chance.
 That Repeal Plank
 It is now contended that If It had not been for the southern federul achine's cirtual unanimlty in vot- ing for the administration resub- mission plank, the plank demand. ing repeal would have been passed by the republican national conven- ton. A change of 105 votes would have carried the minority amend'
 Thirteen southern states voted 25s for resubmission and Missls- sippi politicians declared later they had voted for repeal by. mistake. Thirty five states and the territories cast a majority for repeal, even though the administration influ- ence was predominant in many of their delegations.
 It should not be forgotten that the south is dry, but If It's delegates had been told to vote wet they would have done so without cAvti.
 Both parties have heavy conven- ton representation from states where they are n0n-effcctlve--re- pubiicans in the south and demo- crats in northern and western states which haven't voted demo- cratic for decades.
 c. Q. F. "Isealigning"
 The republicans profess to meet in c small way the criticisms that attend their southern delegate system by realigning deiegatcins in a small way. Basically. the states are allotted by each party about two delegates for each electoral vote.
 But the republicans allow two delegates per congressional district only where the republican vote has been O,0OO or more. Any district
