Gene Won't Do

According to the New Haven Journal Courier Major James J. Tunncy of Cover nor Gross staff, is not the man for the dcm- ocratie candidacy of congressman t-large. The paper mentions the fact that Fairfield democrats seem to be cnthused over mention of the former heavyweight boxing cham pions name in this connection. We'll it's the first we've heard of it. We thought Gene" was scheduled to run against Sena- tor Hiram A. Bingham of New Haven Not that we think that Mir Tunney himself would scoff at the position of congressman at-large but there is something about the sound of Senator that makes one pause whereas utterance of the term, representa- tive, barely makes head turn.
 The Journal Courier finds no fault with Major Tunney in his person. but does not quite see the connection between hls candi- daey for high office and the fact that he can discuss Shakespeare eharmngly, which information it has on unimpeaehable author ity. However. we recall quite clearly that in his prime MT Tunney possessed few qualifications that might make him the man of the hour in furious House melee. The ability to handle ones dukes when re- quired to do 50 comes in mighty handy and judging by recent House performances strong arm methods may take the place of suave parliamentary procedure.
 However. the Tunney office boom is more or less faneifu as the New Haven paper implies. Major Tunneys partieipa- ton in Connecticut politics is as yet of primary nature. Perhaps under the tutelage of Governor Cross he might progress to the stage where he was ready for public ap- pearance on the platform where no resined canvas may break the fall. We'd like to see Tunney in Connecticut politics but so sudden an appearance as to cast him in the role of senatorial or congressional candidate is abrupt to degree We should think an apprenticeship in the Legislature would fit him for bigger things if he is set on a,publie career.

Suffice it to say that public occupation of the state-owned land on Sherwood Island has been prevented solely by political inter ference. At one time the island was seeessi- ble. to the public by sand bar. This was dredged out. permission for the same being granted on the assumption that it was a breeding place for mosquitoes. Perhaps 1t was but actions like this only intensified the purpose of outraged citizens to secure the state park on Sherwood Island
 The l93l Legislature attempted an ex- pensiye steal which would have resulted in %50000 appropriation for seashore park in Fairfield county at some other place than Sherwood Island An amusement resort was to be sold to the state. since the Legislature had likewise repealed the state law granting immunity to the various games of chance and gambling devices which are the main support of these resorts. Thanks to prompt action by the press of the state such maneuver was squelched and the movement to open Sherwood Island to the public assumed real proportions. We sin ecrely hope that the park will become an aotuality and not a mere promise as it has been for so long.

No Excitement Here

There was little apparent excitement over the report of the counsel for the state board of education following an inspection of local public schools. The report was none too complimentary to the eity's inst- tutions of learning. but close examination of the same and comparison with reports made for schools in other cities would have revealed similar minor violations, for that is what we term most of them. The only item that really eaus.d us some discomfort was that dealing win the comparatively new Woodrow Wilse school.
 As was explained at the meeting of the Board of Education on Monday of this week our schools have the approval of the fire underwriters, so they cannot be the veritable fire-traps that some might imagine after reading the state report. Perhaps the state board recalled the time that enthus- astic Water5ury enumerators made the list of school eilldren in the city swell to an ab- normal tigure in the space of several years. That controversy seems to have subjected the city of unnecessary criticism.
 Of course we may be wrong in stating that. but too often prejudice can uneonsci- ously poke its way into the most unexpected places. We have become accustomed to the sight of locked school gate on the West Main street side of the Russell school. Yet it constitutes a distinct fire hazard in the eyes of the state inspectors. It has been barred because it was seldom used and it prevented mutilation of school property by keeping out hoodlums and vandals. It was just such criticisms that led us to believe that the inspectors were quick to observe everything on their visit to this city bet thst they were perhaps unfamiliar with con- ditions that might temper their criticisms somewhat.
 As we stated above the school officials might investigate further the charge that the Woodrow Wilson school was poorly constructed. That is a serious statement to make. If for nothing more than to secure vindieaton for the contractor and builder there should be something done about the matter. We think that most of the Water bury taxpayers will agree that our schools are in the main well kept and in good con- dition exteriorly. We cannot speak for the interior, since it is years since we were in- side sehoolhouse. but we know that the principals and teachers in our local schools would be quick to report serious defects, or corrections 10 be made in existing e0od;f;one

Cracked Mirrors of Congress

Answering attacks on governmental "ex- travaganees' supposed to justify proposals to cut salaries of federal workers and eurtail expenditures of departments employed in beneficial and constructive work, Secretary Hyde in recent radio address facetiously vealed by our legislators. Not long ago. he related. "a distinguished Senator, his ap- petite keen for economy in all States except his own. leaped greedily upon the efforts of the Department of Agriculture to eradicate white pine rust. a disease which threatens to destroy $420, 100000 worth of white pine timber and to eradicate which the de- partment is spending about one-tenth of per cent of the amount annually.
 "DThe Senator was attempting to explain what whte-pine blister rust is. He said, White pine blister rust is a little insect that first forms on the bark of the white pine tree as little worm, develops into moth or fly. and then flies 10 a currant bush "Whte-pne blister rust is not bug, moth or fly" explained the Secretary. Tt is d fungus disease. Looking into a mirror held by the other fellow is free from any favor able bias and reduces bumptousness said Mr Hyde. "As much as we admire the Senator. however. we in the department sus. pect that the mirror he has held up to us is cracked"
 Sometime ago Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi made a famous speech in which he charged departmental waste in useless publications. citing one which he entitled The Love Life of the Bullfrog,' Secretary Hyde in his address humorously denied that his department has consumed govern mcnt funds by prying into the private life of this amphbian. No bulletin dealing with frogs. their lives. legs. or loves. bas ever been published by the Department of Agriculture. he declared.

How Times Have Changed

The Virgin Islands once the manufactur- ing center of the famous St Croix rum and a mecca for thirsty tourists before prohibition followed the flag to these former Danish isles, are now seeking another drawing card for travellers cruising the Caribbean. In Washington for visit, Governor Paul M. Pearson of the Islands announced that an invitation had been extended to two civic organizations of St Thomas, the capital, to William Hohenzollern, former German kaiser to make his home upon the palm- frnged shores of the Islands
 Reason given by the governor for advo- eating the Virgin Islands as the logical place for Mir Hohenzollern to reeuperate his health was that the climate was noted for its restorative qualities. Recent reports that physicians attending the 73-year old kaiser had advised an indeterminate residence in the West Indies prompted the sending of the invitation
 An invitation to the kaiser from Ameri can citizens urging residence under the Stars and Stripes is as interesting paradox as the thought of the former German war lord moving from d land where he may enjoy his daily wine or beer to country where such refreshments are forbidden. Fifteen years ago, Americans, drinking wine and beer in St Thomas. toasted, Down with the kaisef!'

SHERWOOD ISLAND PARK.
Bridgeport Times star)

There Is every likelihood that fthin a brief period, perhaps q
 eek or two, the State of Conncc- t.cut. through It's Park Commia- ion. mny obtain the acreage neces. sary to insure the opening of Sher. wood Island to the public 'as a state park .
 Negotiations now pending indi. cate this solution of q worrisome problem. that. for many years has he'd the center of n stage In q controversy that many times drop ped down to the low level of bitter personalities.
 Efforts to deprive the people of Fairfield county of the pleas- ures and benefit of this public playground have succeeded until now in delaying m improvement that thousands of tax payers of the county have sought to bring Into being.
 Politics has played It's part in backing the objection to the use of the island for the purpose for which 1t has been intended since its purchase as gtate property. eWalthy land owners in that sec- ton have seen their protests up. held by the employment of politi. cal tactics. They maintained that to open the section to the "hordes' that would be attracted to the playground would lessen the ex- c!usiyeness and value of their holdings.
 Selhsh, as this view Is, 1t had no difficulty in finding support. Rival land agents with other prop. critics to sell have butted In and about, every conceivable scheme has been utilized to block the pro. ject upon which the State Park commission has been working for years.
 Happily. 1t appears now, as though the end. is in sight. Tho Park Commission expects to be able to announce shortly that the land essential to the completion of the propect has been acquired by hte state. As the acreage. in ques' ton contains the main roadway leading to the shoreiand of the park proper, 1t is quito likely that the people of Fairfield county Will soon be enjoying the benehts to be derived from playground 5ec- and to none along the New Eng land shore.
 The commission and those asso- clnted with them in furthering the plan are entitled to the thanks of the public.

End Is In Sight

According to the Bridgeport Times Star the state will shortly acquire sufficient ad- ditional acreage to permit the opening of the Sherwood Island state park to the public. Inasmueh as this land was secured for park purposes away back in 1914 and was our first state park we think it high time that the general public and particularly those taxpayers in Fairfield county did get real opportunity to visit Sherwood Island and enjoy this seashore park. We trust that this summer will find the spot mecca for those who like the shore and salt water bathing.
 We have reviewed the case of Sherwood Island so many times and it has been be- fore the public so much of recent years that t is unnecessary for us to go very deeply into discussion of the same in this article

Huey Long. democratic senator from Louisiana wants his party to nominate Sem ator George W. Norris of Nebraska this June at its national convention. Inasmueh as there are any number of aspiring demo- erats it doesn't look as if the Nebraskan independent had chance. We suppose that Senator Long thinks bis party should reeip- roeatc for Senator Norris action of 1928 when he was stauneh supporter of former Governor Alfred E. Smith for the presi- deney. In his tirade Huey Long gave Sen ator 'Joe' Robinson quite d lambasting. He would, in fact. make Robinson Hoovcr's running mate on the republican ticket this year. We think quite few democrats might agree with him in this matter. as the demo. cratic leader in the Senate has been anything but that during the troublesome days of the present session. But we can't lose sight of the fact that when Senator Long came to Washington to take office not SO long ago he regarded Robinson, Pat Harrison of Mis-.
 sissppi, and Speaker Garner of the House as the outstanding democrats in the race for the presidential nomination. As matter of fact the Louisiana "pepper-pot'' regards himself as the real democrat" of the United States. Modest to 't', our Hueyl

We were glad to see Representative Ed ward W. Goss of this city come to the de- fense of the Hartford port of entry. It is among the number that may be abolished if proposed cuts in the Treasury Depart ment are approved. It is maddening to see real. efficient branches of the government curtailed and others that are doing little or no good in the nation continued We refer specifically to the prohibition bureau, which we think is nothing but needless expense. If the Hartford port is abolished this district will be included in the customs bureau of New York. Representative Goss says Con- necticut is not suburb of New York or Boston and we agree with him.

That isn't fair. It doesn't speak we'll for our legislators at Washing ton. They should realize more quickly than does the average taxpayer that government costs are mounting to staggering total. So high indeed is it that even the highest off, eials are warning their subordinates to call halt on extravaganza.

Having wriMon q really fine bI- ography of Noguchi. Gustav Eek stein now brings out Lives" an includes the biographies of two aries, unnumbereds cats, 6 .decrepit poll parrot and an eccentric Por. tuguese gardener.
 It's . queer book--but, as 1 say, Interesting.
 All of these creatures. except the gardener, seem, at ono time or another, to have occupied quarters in tho authors office or home; and the most devout lover of pets can hardly have lavishcd greater affection on his charges than pr Eckstcin, bestowed on thesc.
 When three turtles, hibernat. the ghost, Dr Eckstein gives his rat goes west he becomes almost fearful. Dickens at tho dcathbcd of Little Nell was hardly more touching than Noguchis blogra- pher at the final couch of fa- vorite cat.
 And yet. somehow, he makes you like 1t. He transmits his own mood to you, and you don't sec anything faintiy ridiculous about 1t until afterwnrd--and even then you don't really moan 1t. You get the impression, too. that Dr Eckstein would be an in- teresting man to know. Wouldn't you enjoy the acquaintance of a man who Jugs Q parrot into q city restaurant. teaches his cnrarleA 10 sing Beethoven and risks hts life on the slippery roof of q col.
