NOBLEST ROMAN
 OF THEM ALI
Hartford Times

All Connecticut, and more. is in- terested fin the news that Colonel Norris G. Osborn of New Haven, and Mrs Osborn, have attained fif- ty years of married life and on Sunday celebrated the golden an- niversary of their wedding. It is not enough to say merely that Colonel Osborn is the dean of the journalistic profession in Connec- ticut. He is far more than that. Able, brilliant and courageous, his fame is more than that gained simply by long years of service. Connecticut has been livelier place these last fifty years for his participation in It's affairs. We think 1t could be demonstrated that 1t is q better place, for his steadfast adherence to the principle recog- nized here as fundamental cannot but have been influential.
 Not only Is Colonel Osborn not able as Q newspaper man. He Is equally, or more notable as Q Yale man, revered and beloved every where that Yale men are. In his long term as member and chair man of the state prison board he has given faithful and valued pub lie service. He might have been governor or United States senator 'ere this had he but said the word. A gallant and gracious gentleman he richly merits the affection in which he is held, Q regard which extends to his consort of these five decades. May they live much longer and prosper much more, their shadows never grow less.

KEEP AN EYE ON THIS
(Hartford Tlmes)

The Hartford finance board finds that 1t will be necessary to borrow $2,O00,000 to finance municipal op- erations until the end of the cur- rent fiscal year which ends on March 31. Of this sum $75O,000 is due to overdrawals for welfare work. The remaining million and a quarter represents in the main q deficit due to estimated receipts which have not been received. Much of this uncollected income is considered still receivable and may come in during the next fiscal year. To that extent the deficit is a tenn porary one and may be in part or perhaps completely wiped out.
 But the situation contains an ele- ment of warning. When expendi- lures continue on the basis of esti- mated receipts which fail to turn into cash in the city's coffers, the municipality is headed in a danger ous direction should hard times continue. Fall River did precisely as there are large tax receipts in sight a large city can borrow size able sums in anticipation of taxes. But as this process enlarges and the uncollected taxes mount. that borrowing privilege automatically dries up and soon such a city finds itself with its credit used up, in- cludmg it's short-term borrowing power. its books loaded with uncol- lectable taxes and facing a dispro- portionately heavy interest charge out of which 1t gets nothing for current needs.
 The finance board has assigned this problem to its banker mem- bers who will undoubtedly serve it with conservative advice. They will be justified in advocating eau- ti0us policy in regard to borrowing and spending money for which only doubtful tax Income is Co sight.

 A good democrat will have to be found among the numerous applicants for that fat Sl,500 fee. There must be great many democratic painters in this state. Perhaps some of them were aspirants for political office in their younger days. but gave up in disgust and turned to more profitable fields of endeavor. There's the type of painter that the governor should commission - one who knows the political game thor oughly and at the same time can wield brush and colors So as to secure the best from his subject.

TERROR IN BOSTON

(NeW York Herald-Tribune)
 With what aggrieved amaze ment must the good burghers of Common wealth avenue and the Fenway have turned to Frank Buxton's editorial page in a recent issue of "The Boston Herald" to find there 8 communication from retired sea captain to the effect that no perils encountered in lifetime of defiance of the elements could paralle, the dangers of the streets of Back Bay from Boyl- ston street to the river at night" No hurricanes or typhoons, not even the grim fogs of the Mersey Atlantic, asserted the venerable salt, could SO effectively strike ter TOT to the heart as the whisking vehicles of Beacon street, the con. fusion of after-dark traffic in front of Pierce, the grocer's, in Copley square.
 Patiently, things are coming to a pretty pass in Boston. Can it be that the black violet horse cab of the genus growler has run away from it's stand in Exeter street to harry elderly sea captains cruising the gas-lit reaches of Boston's best residential section? Or has the old lady who, still arrayed in motor ing veil and dustcoat, pilots an an- cient, brass trimmed Winton of the pre- windshield era installed a su- percharger in this early Ordovician conveyance Or, horrid thought. have the city fathers evoked the ordinance requiring fire apparatus to obey the speed regulations?

Richard V. Oulahan, widely known as the Washington correspondent of the New York Times, is dead Mir Oulahan was &C., tive right up until Congress recessed for the Christmas holidays He was unusually active in covering final action on the war debt moratorium. We doubt if any corre- spondent was as well versed in affairs at Washington or had more thorough knowl- edge of the working of our government than did Mir Oulahan. In addition to this he was able to express himself in writing in commanding fashion. Perhaps this earned him the respect of men of high standing. It is with regret that the newspaper world re- cords his death. He will be missed for many years 10 come.

 Washington--Only 6 few short months elapsed between the time President Hoover called for the one-year debt moratorium and the day Congressman McF'adden of Pennsylvania directed those sensa- tional charges which implied that the president had "sold out' the country.
 McFadden is generally regarded with cold disapproval, but the torium in congress demonstrated again that often we get over-ex- cited or that things do change.
 Who doesn't remember the worlds hosannas last June. Did one hear the faintest note of protest amid the common assurance that the world had been saved and that the depression was as good as over :? What seems especially odd in retro spect was the very definite feeling am ong both republicans and dem- ocrats that the bold, statesmanlike step had virtually insured Hoover's reelection.
 The recent picture could hardly be more different, especially con- sidering the fact that Hoover last summer obtained advance assuran- ces of support from large majorities in both branches of congress.
 In both house and senate mem bers have actually asserted that the moratorium not only did no good, but that it's results appeared to have been more harmful than beneficial. The congress which was expected to pass the moratorium promptly and as a matter Of rou- tine embarrassed the administrae ton by refusing to act until after the debt payments were actually due, meanwhile beginning investi- gations of the moratorium along with other matters of international finance.
 It is true that Jack Garner, who was to become speaker of the house, had addressed Hoover heat edly and not without profanity when the president telephoned him long distance in June to obtain his support. Garner told Hoover he had better stand on his own feet and not those of congress. No one knew the story at the time and there was no discord in the peans which were only exceeded in their Joyousness by their unanimity. But 1t was the same MT Garner who served notice that the house wouldn't get to vot- ing on the moratorium by Dec 15, as everyone had anticipated.
 Congress has been looking 50 much askane at the moratorium because it is opposed to extending 1t or to doing anything else likely to lead eventually to debt cancel lation of further reduction. but there Is also a group now boid enough to describe the moratorium as a flop in answer to the admin. istration contention that 1t saved Germany from bankruptcy.
 "It was a perfect failure as far as aiding Germany was concerned. . says Senator Kenneth Mckellar or Tennessee.
 Ut did help Germany" says Senator Henrick Shipstead Of Min- nesota. "In fact, it increased a run on her banks. I do not know of any valid reason for the legislation now. All lines of German credit were very much decreased by the an nouncement of the moratorium. My information is that it drove Ger many much nearer to collapse than she would have been If there had been no moratorium. Her banks did not close until a long time after the moratorium was procialmeo.

Senator Couzens. republican, of Michigan had better join forces with Senator Borah, rrecoicilable Idaho legislator, in this ques- ton of cutting the salaries of federal em- ployes. A week or ten days ago Borah pro- posed a ten per cent wage cut. Now Sem ator Couzens thinks that all senators, repre- sentatives, and cabinet members could stand 25 per cent pay slash. This would not be hardship, as the senator's and repre- sentatives have from six to nine months free time annually" Senator Couzens declared. Of course there is such thing as carrying this salary slashing too far. Perhaps good many people think it has gone too far al- ready Industries and businesses have been forced to cut salaries in order to make both ends meet The federal government might follow this example. To speak very plainly we think that federal employees, especially those who have private incomes should have been the first to. get decreases.

 After a slump that shot 40 points away from his batting av- craze in a weeks time, Mowry came back with another batting blast, collecting 12 hits in two double-headers. He's been hitting close to 400 all spring.
 Only 21 and just year out of the University of Iowa, Mowry moved into Double-A company this year after spending the latter part of last season with Nashville in the Southern Association. His manager, Donie Bush, con- siders the youngster one of the greatest prospects he had even handled. The bidding for his ser vices is reported to be little short of frenzied.
