Bunker Hill Air
 Marking Sign
Put in Shade By One Con-
 structed in NewtOwn

Newtown Boy Scouts have con structed an air marking sign, one quarter larger than the recent one built by the Waterbury Boy Scout Aeronautic club off Bunker Hill avenue which was recently dedi- cated and acclaimed by Deputy Commissioner Jack Lenox ot Hartford as tho largest in Connec- ticut and as far as he knew the largest in tho world.
 The local club constructed theirs according to plans of the state de- pertinent of aeronautics and ls the model standard sign. Whether the Newtown sign is in confirmn ton with the state departments is another question, but Scout Ex. ecutive Arthur D. Marston In m in- terview this morning stated that 1t was all well and good for the New town council to construct such Il sign, but ns far as affording tho local council opposition in such nature, was a different matter. for 1t is not tho custom of Boy Scout councils to be uncthical In their activities.
 Tho Bunker Hill sign measures 100 feet in length with each let ter being 15 feet by 10 while tho Newtown sign measures 120 feet in length and its letters 20 feet high.

Novel Writer Gives His Opinions Upon
 Present Depression
John Dos Passes Has Always Been Little Rebelious Against Existing Govt - Advises Hoover and Congress to GO Home and Look for Jobs

"so, you see, at present the cri- tic, revolutionist, liberal or re- formist can't do anything except formulate what type of socicty he'd like to see take the place of this one when this one gets sufficiently rotten to collapse, or Is pushed over from underneath. And the critic can only go that far in the hope perhaps that others may get the same idea. l..
 1T think that the hope of an ar- rangement of society that will free men and women from some of the crime and misery that has made history long nightmare Is a great hope, and that its substitution for religion would be an enormously important forward step in human development"
 Dos Passes hold that western Industrial society has reached n point where nothing but socialism can save 1t from bloody wars and destruction. And by socialism. he doesn't moan the socialist party. nor the third international. 1T mean an attitude of mind mostly" he ex- l plnined.
 "There is no alternative" he con tinued. That is rigid dictatorship by the industrial owning class n sort of new fuedalism. But In spite of tho present current tow ards fascism. don't think the ruling class has the nerve to put 1t over. There arc too many Kreug- CTS.
 Tn America where the growth of the capitalist indlvidualism has been completely unhampered by the feudai restraints of Europe, the owners of industry have sa cked tho richest continent in the world, sold gold brick after gold brick to the producers (the work CTS and farmers). whom they need. cd to grow the wheat and the hogs, to drill tho oil wells and run the adding machines and buy the F'ords and tho stocks. Right now these same owners are strangling in the ticker tape of their own roulette wheel--Wall street. But I don't think for q moment that this is tho curtin for capitalism"

 New York, May 24.--John Dos Passes, whose novels reflect Q definite spirit of rebellion against the existing order of things in tho western world, is confident this de- pression will end just as, he says, all other depressions have ended, leaving the lower middle class and the working class ruined, and the big interests more powerful and more consolidated than ever."
 What would 1 do about it?" fe answ CTS unhesitatingly. "I'd try 10, get the industrial worker and the white collar worker and the farmer-the underdog who gets his face pushed down into the pave. ment every day--to understand that tho only man who's going to help him is himself.
