 Washington--Senator Huey Long is Just someone you can't laugh off. Lots of people, in Louisiana and Washington, have thought they could laugh Huey of. They know better now.
 once there was Q notion that tho senate, which brides itself on its brand of hazing, would soon tame him. But tho "Kingflsh" has been hazing the senate almost ever since he arrived. And more than ono old- tlmor who has swnpped blows with him has come out of 1t with . few loss tall feathers.
 Flow men have drawn larger crowds to tho senate galleries than Long in his spectacular flllbuster against the Glass banking bill. Tho crowds may have regarded him as q curiosity, but no ono left tho galleries without being i'm. pressed In ono way or another. Nor could anyone laugh off tho fact that he had important aid in his one-man net from other sona. tors or tho fact that ho was tenf- porarily tho spearhead of . rnd- ieal but important movement for farm and unemployment relief. L,ven . few members of tho house camo to tho senate chamber to watch tho show.

The Intent Is Too Obvious

It must have been speedily apparent to sll the legislators in Hartford Wednesday after reading the terms of bill introduced by Representative Estill of Salisbury that this republican member contemplated gerry mandering in our congressional districts, He proposed that the position of congressman at-large be abolished starting with the elec- ton of i934 and that Connecticut be divsd- ed into six districts instead of its present five. The idea. of course. isn't new, but the dis tricts that the Salisbury man proposes are. Redstrieting of the present alignment was first proposed as far back as 1921.
 At that time 1t was thought that perhaps the federal census returns of 1920 would entitle Connecticut to an extra seat in the House of Representatives However, Con. grew adopted dilatory tactics and refused tp apporton itself as So directed in the Con- stituiion. It wasn't until the last few years that self-espeeting eonfrcssmen succeeded in pushing through bill providing for auto- Tnatie reapportionment in the event that the House failed to take action following a fed- eral census. This reapportionment will be performed by the Secretary of Commerce through the Bureau of Census and any changes in state delegations in the House relayed to the various secretaries of state
 Our own Legislature of l93l dueked the problem of redstrieting Connecticut by the simple cxpedient of providing that the extra seat go to a congressman at-large. The Bowers bill of 1921 which created six dis tfcn was considered but discarded as it was obvious that population shifts in ten years made it a uifle antique. There was an occasional attempt to secure a good reaSn- ment of the state into six districts, but noth' ing of any serious consequence. Now we arc presented with the spectacle of as evi- dent an attempt to serrymander as any state legislature ever had presented to it.
 @ Waterbury. for example, is placed in inc new fifth district with all the towns in Litehfcld county, several in New Haven county and for good measure a few in Fair field county. Then the district lines take violent turn so that the new third district includes Naugatuek, Cheshire and Pros' Beet with New Haven and other towns. Merden, now in the third district is casually removed and placed in the new sixth distrle, with New Britain. Bristol, and surrounding towns. The funniest part of this arrange. ncnt is the fact that towns like Ansonia and Derby, contiguous almost to New Haven And it's suburbs arc in the same district as Waterbury, but Nausatuek, whose town lines touch Waterbury's is carefully carved out of this section with one sweep of the pencil. To appreciate this work Of art one must actually see it on paper. We hope some cntcrprisins legislator will have spcei. mems made and distributed to the House and Senate sa that all of us can see the weird de- signs created by the new congressional dis trie.s as proposed by Representative Est'll'

Falls Into A Murder Case

When Spike Traey's car ran out of gas on R lonely road In Ver- mont, and he sought shelter Tor tho night at the nearest farmhouse, he could hardly have guessed what he was letting himself in for.
 Before morning tho head of the household had been murdered,
 suspicion seemed to point equally to tho two attractive daughters and Spike had been sworn Tn as a special deputy sheriff to help look into matters; and before he got through he found himself in- vestigating one of the oddost mur- dor cases anyone could imagine. All of this comes from "Tho
 murder of Sigurd $ sharon" by II.
 Ashbrook Coward -McCann; $2). n competently and ingeniously de-
 viscd mystery that ought to de- light oil doteetive story fans.
 Tho convention that q review must not give away the plot of n murder story makes 1t impossible for mo to say much about thts, ex- cept to romark that it utiliges what ia, as far as I know, an entirely now devico in detective story fc- tlon--and just try and figure 1t out beforo you finish 1t.

MAJOR A. c. YOUNG
SPEAKS T0KIWANS
Veteran Of Siberian Expedition
Tells Of Jap Hostility to
Americans

An extremely hostile" attitude o.
the japanese toward Americans II
contrast to the friendliness shown BY
the Russian peasants was noted By
American soldiers in Siberia from 1915
to 1920, Major A. c. Young told mem.
hers of the Bismarck Kiwanis club
Tuesday noon.
Major Young. now an instructor
Of the North Dakota National Guard
was member Of the American Ex-
oeditlonary Force to Siberia following
the World War.
The speaker also quoted from a
book, American Siberian Adventure, y
written by Major General Graves,
commanding general OF the "A. E. F.
to Siberia, who called attention
throughout his book to aggressiveness
of the Japanese.
Major Young was q captain in the
9th infantry and spent two winters
In Siberia, 19l8-l919 and 19l9-l92O.
Four reasons for sending the A. E.
+. to Siberia were listed by Major
Young as follows:
l. To assist the evacuation OF the
CZecho- Slovakians.
2. To prevent release Of German
prisoners.
3. To guard military supplies
stored along the Trans-Siberian rail-
way.
4. To prevent Japanese exploita-
ton.
The A. E. F.. accomplished its mis-
sion, Major Young said, commenting
that Its work was more diplomatic
than militaristic. He also told the
Kiwanians that the Japs were friend
ly toward the Kolchak government
and assisted imperialists In plots
against the revolutionists.
Carl J. Tullberg of the R-T Grocery
was introduced as a new member Of
the service organization.
A. 2. Lenhart was chairman Of the
day,
