The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-06-17
Rep. Koppleman
 Urges Wet Vote
Congressman From First District in Connecticut
 Sends Home Earnest Appeal to Voters

to repeal the discreditd 13h I amendment.
 | ''It is a pleasant commentary on ] the cool, calculating and deliberate 1 judgment of the state of Connecti- cut, that 1t Is one of the two states in the union which refused to rat-l ify this amendment.
 Dcath.Knc!l Sounded
 "Tonight we stand on hilltop and see q panoramic picture of state after state dealing crushing blows to the tottering amendment, --an amendment whose death knell was sounded in its very in-0 ception by Its inherent weaknesses and vices.
 "Our state. in which the seecs' of American liberty were planted. again is to have an opportunity to- speak out in support of a princip'e not unlike that which summoned the stalwarts from these hills to- arms in the Colonial days. We, of Connecticut. must heed the call next Tuesday to uphold our hal- lowed traditions.
 Failure Apparent
 "The failure of national prohi- bition must be apparent to every observer of current affairs Out of 5000 prohibition agents more thnn 25 per cent of them were discharty-3 ed for corruption in the first eight years of so-called prohibition. While I dislike to single out one city. 1t is nevertheless known fact that there have been more mur- ders in the city of Chicago in single year. under the 18th amends ment than there have been in Great Britain in 10 vars. The ap- palling criminal record in Connec- ticut during the past IS years brings no pride to loyal citizens If our state.
 13 Foolish Years
 "The delegates, pledged to re- peal, who come before you next Tuesday, ask for your vote in an- swer to 13 years of foolish attempt to legislate morality by federal decree. Linked with the remedial legislation which has been adopt- ed by the congress this year. know of nothing that can do more to clear the deck for .an intelligenf attack upon the desperate econom- ic problem confronting our coun- try.
 T am hopeful that every dis ciple of true temperance will eag- erly go to the polls Tuesday and throw support behind this drive to uproot the chief source of our national social and economic iils."

D. Thoms of. this city were mem bers, it was pointed out that q Negro, refused equal rights in 9 Hartford theater, sued and receiv- ed nominal damages of $1. It cost him more to sue than he received.
 Local and other Negroes throughout the state then sought to place teeth in the law" which they succeeded in doing during the last session of the legislature. The new law provides that anyone re- fusing equal rights to 8 colored person will be subject, not only to suit, but also to arrest with an en- suing fine and Jail sentence.
 With the opening of many beer parlors the question of handling colored persons is growing more acute, as shown in cases already accruing in Hartford and Middle town. The courts, in those two towns, however, were unable to take criminal action because the provisions of the state law provid- ing for such action do not go into effect until July 1st.

Silence or Mighty Hindenburg BaMes
 Enemies or Hitler
Of All the Enignlas of Triumphant Hiterism the Most Puzzling Mystery Is the Silence of Germany's Great War Idol

was enveloped, during the opening days of the new regime, in silence. Little was heard of him--a strik- ing contrast to those days only few months before when he was putting his finger into every polit- ical pie and making himself the idol and rallying-point of Germans of all parties, the strongest bull wark of the German republic.
 What had become Of him? Where was the antipathy shown by him for so long against Hitler? Where was the firmness which had sent the Nazi chieftain to the right-about last summer when he had demanded to be installed as Germany's Mussolini? Where Was the obstinacy against which two other chancellors-Bruning and Schleicher-had come to griel within the short space of year Was the old soldier. senile? "One yarn, banded about al cafe tables, was to the effect that Hindenburg, after having appoint ed Hitler chancellor. said to his secretary, in puzzled tones: But thought Pruning wore glasses!
 Another asserted that the aged warrior, winner of the great Ger man campaign against Russia in the summer of 1914, after having stood stiffly for hours at the win dow of his palace while thousands of Hitler's Brown Shirts paraded past him, and turned. mystified, to his son and aide-de-camp, Colonel Oskar von Hindenberg. and re- marked: But, Oskar. had no idea that. we had captured so many Russians!' ,4
 And then there was the cruel est of all, circulated when linden burg was issuing decree after de. cree. each making Hitler's position stronger. @ @
 "An official (so ran the story) having been summoned to an audi ence with the president, was kept waiting so long that he got hun gry. took from his pocket a sand- wich (which. German fashion. he had with him), unwrapped it from the piece of paper in which he had brought it, and proceeded to munch at 1t. While he was munch- ing away, one of Hindonburg' s secretaries entered the room and was greatly shocked at seeing the piece of paper in which the sand. wich had been wrapped, lying on a nearby table.
 You mustn't leave that there!' he exclaimed. @
 ".Why not?'
 Because President won Him denburg is likely to come in here any minute. and-he might sign it!"
 Even while the retailing of such disrespectful tittle-tattle was at its height, a goodly number of Ger mans still unhypnotized by Hitler refused to believe that the Grand old Man of Germany had let him. self be tossed into the discard. They still dreamed that linden burg would suddenly awaken, and stride forth, in majestic wrath. to administer another lesson to that sergeant.s
 "They had visions of the sold field marshal dominating the crisis of 1888 as he had dominated the crises of earlier years. But these people. if you can get them to talk. will acknowledge (after that quick glance over the shoulder) that Hitlers opponents have no time to lose. |
 eff they don't act soon,' one of them admitted to me, 1t will be too late.. You can see for yourself that Hitler isn't letting the grass grow under his feet"

New York, June 17-In all the enigmas of triumphant Hitlerism in Germany, the most puzzling mystery to foreign observers is the silence of the mighty Hindenburg. In an effort to clear up this mys- tery, Golfers" sent T. R. Ybarra to Germany a few weeks ago. His report, published to-day, puts into type a number of rumors and re- ports which heretofore have been merely whispers.
 "Cruel stories concerning Hin- denburg are going the rounds in Berlin," writes MT Ybarra. "The president, Germany's Grand Old Man, well along in his 86th year,

attributed the slackening to seasonal
