However, your honorable board wisely chose to avoid such a wholesale addition to the rolls of the unemployed. with the result that the situation was handled in part by resigna- tions for various causes, and in part by re-assignment of work so as to secure the maximum of teaching efficiency.
 q mention this only as one ex- ample of your wisdom in adher- ing to the policy of keeping our educational cost as low as is con- sistent with proper service
 "I venture to suggest that, under such conditions, the services of a special clerk for your board can well be dispensed with, for the present at least.
 "In accordance with that sug- gestion, and in orde rto avoid any possible question of legality, rec ommend that your honorable board appoint the superintendent of schools as clerk of the board of education, and that he be voted and paid salary of one dollar per year while serving in that ca pacity.
 q am confident that your honor able board will be glad to add this to the many contributions already made by you in the interest of economy and efficiency"

 getting ability. Many workers who has devoted their lives to public service" are expected to seek new jobs when McLevy concludes his renovation work.
 In a brief ceremony at Central high schcool auditorium, attended by more than 5000 men and wom- en, McLevy was sworn into office by the retiring democratic mayor, Edward T. Buckingham.
 McLevy. a roofing contractor who last week won his first election in 25 years of campaigning on the so- cialist ticket, was dressed in a worn blue suit. The soft collar of his white shirt was rumpled, and
 his tie apparently had received nasty, last minute consideration. :. But the thousands who jammed into the auditorium, and the other thousands who could not get in, hadn't come to admire or see sar- torial splendor. Most of them ap- parently knew McLevy personally, and there were frequent thunder ous cheers.
 McLevy and his fellow socialists, who swept the election. arrived be- fore the retiring officers from the city hall. One by one they were sworn in after McLevy had taken the oath.
 In a brief address MeLevy out lined his, hopes for the future of the city. He reiterated his pledges of economy, introduction of civil service, and elimination of unnec- essary offices and bureaus. Prudent planning is imperative" he said. We cannot expect to ef- feet economies unless we plan far into the future
 He pledged himself to work for public ownership of utilities, and asserted the unemployment relief problem is the most serious facing the city nov The hungry must be fed and the needy clothed, he said. "A man of courage. and convic- tions, from whom the city expects much" was the way in which May or Buckingham introduced his suc- cessor.
 Hundreds stormed the forum to shake McLevy's hand when the cer- emonies were completed. Then, as the crowds dispersed, McLevy got into his old car and drove to city ball. prepared to tackle the job he has sought for many years, and hoping to prove the worth of so- cialist municipal government.

CAPITAL BARBER
 TO TELL ALL
Knows All About Washing Having Shaved Many
 Vice=Presidents

Washington, (UP)-Since the real book of Washington never has been written, Dick the Barber is going to try his hand at it. Dick the Barber is R. Thorman, who has shaved every vice presi- dent of the United States since Thomas Marshall, as well as three presidents.
 Hardly a senator has failed to sit in his chair to be shaven and shorn.
 Representatives, he says, don't count.
 Sometimes his customers talked. "Why not write a boek?" he thought. The fuse was lit when a bookstore opened up next door to him. He learned from the propri- etor that all the book trade need ed was a good intimate story on Washington.
 His book will soon be published. As Dick puts it:
 q probably know more about Washington than any man in the barbering business"
 Dick has heard words of wisdom from Woodrow Wilson, Warren Harding and Calvin Coolidge as they rested comfortably in his chair.
 When Coolidge was in the White House, Dick the Barber was often mistaken for the president, they looked so much alike.

seen. Like Senator Bergin, Sena- tor Blaekall has kept pretty well out of active participation in the fights between the "old guard" and "new guard factions. The salary of district attorney pays S6,000 an- nually. The work of the office will be much, lighter with repeal of the 18th amendement on Decem- Der 9th.
 The fourth large federal plum to be handed out in Connecticut is that of United States marshal. The term of the incumbent, Jacob D. Walter, republican, of Cheshire, does not expire until next year and, therefore, there are no definite lines drawn to date on possible candidates.
 As there is no bond required for the district attorney, Senator Der gin will be sworn into office as soon as he receives his official com- mission from Washington. In the meantime he will confer with Gov ernor Cross as to whether or not he will stay on the liquor control board.
 Senator Bergin's Record
 Senator Bergin was born in New Haven, is 46 years of age, was edu- cated at New Haven high school, Exeter academy and Princeton university. He was quarterback on the Princeton football teams in 1908 and 1909 and later became football coach at Princeton He officiated at some of the football games at the Yale Bowl this sea- son. He studied law at Colum- bia and the New York law school and was admitted to the Connecti- cut bar in 1914. He was corpor- ation counsel of New Haven under ex-Mayor David E. Fitzgerald. He was a member of the 1929, 1881 and 1893 sessions of the state sem ate. He was democratic minority leader in 1881 and democratic ma jority leader in 1883. In the 1881 session his name was proposed for a place on the superior court bench but the post was given to Judge P. B. o'Sullivan by Cover nor Cross. Later his name was mentioned for the superior court bench but the vacancy was filled by Governor Cross, who appoint ed Town Chairman John Cornell of Bridgeport.
 In the 1888 session, which end- ed last June, Senator Bergln played a big part in framing and having passed the state liquor con- trol bill. Therefore, his member ship on the state liquor board has been one of value to the state. Senator Bergin Is married and has three daughters and two sons.

PALACE

With Jean Harlow and Lee Tracy as co-stars heading an impressive cast, "Blonde BombshelP' now play ing at Polls provides the heartiest chorus of laughs of all recent film productions.
 Jean Harlow is seen as Lola Burns, a glamOrous film star who has been sensational by the irn- aginative creations of her press agent, Lee Tracy, who has taken advantage of her various interna- tional love affairs. Her life, how ever, is a continual turmoil for her father and brother humiliate her at the most inopportune times, her secretafy throws wild parties in her home, movie fans harass her, and her publicity directors ideas sometimes go haywire. Only recently he has embroiled her in an affair with the Marquis al Binelli di Pisa who was arrested for yio- lating his passport permit.
 Because of the marquis arrest, Lola demands the studio to dis charge Space. The astute news hound, however, manages to extri- cate himself from his complica- tions, only at a cost, however, of embittering the marquis against Lola, causing breach between her and her director, Brogan, and mak- ing himself totally objectionable to the star.
 A series of laugh situations oc- cur throughout the picture, and though Lola Burns had armies of lovers she picked the one who had harmed her most.
 Others in the cast who contrub- ute excellent performances are Franchot Tone, Pat Q'Brien, Ivan Lebtdoff, Isabell Jewell, Louise Beavers, Leonard Carey, Mary Forves and c. Qubrey Smith.
 Continuous performance starting at o'clock.

One of the outstanding dramatic pictures of the year "Only Yester- day." now at the State theater, serves to introduce Margaret Sulla- van, sensational young Broadway star of Dinner at Eight" whose work in this picture proves her headed for screen stardom. So lav- ish has been the praise of press and public of her performance in "Only Yesterday that Universal has signed her to a contract and given her the leading role in their Forthcoming production Little Man, What Now?"
 The cast of "Only Yesterday" in cludes 90 well known Hollywood players headed by John Boles, Billie Burke, Reginald Denny and includ- ing Edna May Oliver, George Meeker, Benita Hume, Barry Nor ton, Berton Churchill, Franklin Pangborn, Marie Provost, Robert McWade and actually scores of others, in addition to more than 4500 extras.
 More than three months were consumed in filming the picture. which abounds in lavish scenes, in- cluding gay New Years eve eel eDrdtlOu dI LIE 0t HeSiS IloICh hi New York, Wall street on the day of the great market crash, the wild frenzy of Armistiee day, the pa- rade of the first contingent of sol- diers up Fifth avenue on their re- turn from Europe, a pretentious ball at Virginia country club and a New York cocktail party in which there are more than 30 speaking parts.
 In spite of his panoramic splen- dor, the story of "Only Yesterday" is continually centered on the trag- ic love affair of Margaret Sullavan and John Boles. A story of heart break and courage unsurpassed in screen history.

| doubt there are many who would | like this uost but 1t appears doubt full that the newly appointed dis trict attorney will resign from the commission. At least, 1t is an as- sured fact that he will not resign until after congress acts on his con- firmation. There is a strong belief current that the naming of Senator Bergin to the post of district attorney means that State Chairman Wilson is to be taken care of quickly Tn some other post. If a compromise has been arranged between Sena- tor Lonergan ana the new guard Bergin packers, it means that there will be no question about the senator being confirmed Withou, opposition in the next session oi congress, Chairman Wilson's name has been mentioned as a possible successor for Senator Bergin on the liquor commission. This is doubt ful at the present time, though according to reports.
 The ''new guard" is in the driv-
 er's seat now, with "three-up" on the "old guard" faction. Dr D. G' Dolan is the state internal revenue chief, Mrs Fannie Dixon Welch or
 Colum bia, national committeewo- man, is collector of ports and cus- toms and Senator Bergin is the selection for district attorney. The latter succeeds Major John Buck ley, republican, who, incidentally IS now chairman of the state liquor control board. He has held over as district attorney pending the ap- pointment of his democratic suc- cessor.

 Hitler, when the final returns | were in, said:
 "German citizens! For 15 years trustingly fought for your future, impelled by an indestructible con- | fidence in the intrinsic worth of our nation. "Today, I thank the millions of German citizens from the bottom of my heart for the unprecedented demonstration of our true love of peace and our determination to up-
 hold our honor and our eternal right to equality with other na- tions
 "Thus strengthened, my collab- orators and I are ready to proceed to fulfill our duties with unbroken
 courage"
 Perhaps many people voted for Nazi candidates in fear that an abstention might by some means be detected and avenged, but the vote was tremendous and the pleb-
 iscite voet left no doubt, if con- eeivably there could have been any, of the nations condemnation of the Versailles treaty which it Is
 Hitler's chief aim to scrap. The vote might even prove em- barrassing to him in requiring him to harden his policy of demanding absolute equality with other na- tions in International consultations and negotiations.
