Some American Ideals" He said,
What is our own United States?
We have countless physical advan-
tages and rich natural resources. We
have vast systems of transportation,
and a great industrial organization.
Yet the real wealth of the United
States lies not in these things, but its
aims and ideals.
while our concern is with the fu-
ture, we must consider our ideals
which come to US from the past. New
England Puritans brought to these
shores respect for law, a standard
of purity of life and regard for such
spiritual Institutions as Sunday and
the Bible. The writer and signers of
the Declaration of independence in
sisted on equal rights and opportuni-
ties for each and all. The constitution
gives us the ideal of trusting to the
people the determination of their des-
tiny. Daniel Webster restated this be-
lief that government was answerable
to the people, Abraham Lincoln gave
US the ideal of committing ourselves
to the task of promoting peace Theo-
dore Roosevelt gave US the ideal Of
the square deal for every American.
Woodrow Wilson gave the ideal that
this nation should make it difficult for
nations to go to war, without recourse
to other means of settling their dis
putes.
SO we are committed as Americans
20 these ideals, opportunities for all,
greater and ruler IN the future than
n the past.
I'VE forgot some Of these ideals

o those ideals of justice, liberty, OPP
'ortunity and freedom for all. Wei
iced to give our loyalty to the fun
amentals, not the secondary things"

FIRST HOME LOAN MORTGAGE FILED TO-DAY
PRESIDENT WAS KEPT VERY BUSY ALL YESTERDAY
Orders Given on Oil Indus- try-Used Strategy in His Talk With British Financier
By FREDERICK A. STORM (United Press Staff Correspondent

N~--1~--
 Hyde Park, N. r., Aug 2s-(UP) appointment of a planning and co-ordinating com mittee for the oil industry was an- ticipated today as President Roose- welt gave final instructions for . general speeding up of the na- tional recovery and public works program.
 The chief executive gave his or- ders to Secretary of Interior Ickes, who is preparing to return to Washington.
 The oil group which will have charge of price-f fixing must be named by September 2. MT Roose- welt will select from about 50 names submitted by Ickes.
 The president conferred during the forenoon today with Postmas- ter-General Farley on patronage problems.
 Political observers commented on the administrators strategy in side-stepping the complex stabil- ization question upon the visit to Hyde Park of Montagu Norman, governor of the Bank of England. Norman was brought here by George Harrison, head of the fed eral reserve district of New York.
 Mir Roosevelt defeated whatever intentions Norman might have had of discussing stabilization by turn ing the meeting into tea party and keeping it as such.
 ''Stabilization was not even men, toned" Stephen T. Early, White House secretary, declared.
 Meanwhile the president awaited a more detailed report on a plan to permit bankers, supported by the Reconstruction Finance Cor poration, to offer temporary credit facilities and financial relief to businessmen cooperating in the national recovery, drive. The plan was presented to MT Roosevelt yes terday by Jesse Jones, chairman of the R. F. c. and he was told to take it up with the treasury de- pertinent and work out more con- crete proposals.

WASHINGTON PARK. VOLLEY BALL TEAM
Finished Successful Sea- son and Won Title of
 the "IrOn Girls"
BANQUET TONIGHT

The Washington Park girls vol ley ball team, for the second suc- cessive season, finished it's sched- ule without suffering a defeat. Last nights victory over Chase by the scores of IS to and 15 to 6, marked the 34th straight victory the girls from the hill had chalked up, and 47 out of the 48 in the three years fight to gain perman- ent possession of the playground trophy. The team has been re- markedly strong on the defense, as only two teams have been able to score ten points in any one game against them. The same girls who formed the nucleus of the squad in 1891, when Washing ton park started its for the play ground cup, have remained to- gether for the past three seasons. and they may well be called the 'iron girls".
 Tonight the victors will be giv- en a banquet and sweaters. The following girls make up the team: Loretta Creaven, Margie Malley, Eileen Mulvaney, Doris Braun, Gcnevieve Phelan, Peggy Danaher. Helen Dunn, Loretta Pelletier.

Power Companies Caution Against
 Climbing TouDers
Join in Warning at Suggestion of P. U. Commission
 Engineer, to Heed Danger Signs Near Wires

Oficials of light and power com panies throughout Connecticut at the suggestion of Joseph P. Wad- hams, transportation engineer Of the Connecticut public utilities commission, joined today in issuing a warning to the general public and especially to young boys to avoid trespassing on public utility properties which are definitely marked with signs as being dan gerous and to keep away from all utility companies wires.
 During the spring and summer at least two deaths and possibly unreported injuries of varying severity have resulted to people who have violated such warning signs as those prohibiting bathing in reservoirs, trespassing on rail- road property and climbing electric transmission line towers.
 Other sources of accidents in- volving high voltage electric lines are kite flying and stringing an- tenae wires for radio. Each year the electric companies endeavor to educate the youth of the state not to fly kites where there is any danger of the kite, tail or string becoming entangled with the wires, but each year the accidents con- tinue, to occur. A recent one re- suited when small boys kite string which had a tinsel strand crossed electric wires. The metal of the tinsel passed the current into the boys body and he was badly burned. Even without tin sel, if the string contains any mois- ture, it will transmit electricity,
 The most recent fatality caused by a violation of a warning sign came when a seventeen-year-old youth elected to climb to the top of a transmission tower which was carrying a 66,000 volt electric line. |The youth had gone into the woods
The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-08-29

with two others to cut small. dead. chestnut poles for firewood. They were using the transmission tower as brace while saving the wood into usable pieces. Leaving the others, the boy began to climb the tower. As he neared the top, there was a blinding flash and his scar ed body came crashing to the ground. Death followed.
 Investigation for the public utilities commission by MT Wad- hams showed that the company which owned the transmission line was in no way at fault, that 1t had equipped nearby towers with large, legible signs, reading, Danger. High Voltage; that the boys had trespassed on the company's right of way and that they had disre- garded the signs.
 In the investigation, 1t was brought out that the deceased boy few days before the accident had told his friends that the top wire was the only one on the structure which could electrocute anybody. This emphasizes the fact that in order to avoid misunderstanding all wires should be considered dangerous.

NEW PRESIDENT OF CUBA FACING
 CABINET BREAK
Demands Have Been Made on Chief Executive to Call an Election of the Assembly
By LAWRENCE s. HAAS

United Press Stan Correspondent
 Havana, Aug 29.@(UP)-Presi- dent Carlos Manuel De Cespedes faced a serious cabinet crisis to- day over demands that he calls an election for a constituent assembly to enact constitutional reforms and arrange for immediate general elections.
 De Cespedes' two most powerful cabinet ministers, secretary or State Carlos Saladrigas and Secre- tary of Treasury Joaquin Martinez Saenz, dined with him at the presi- dential palace. A third guest was Juan Guiteras.
 All three are members of the directing cell of the secret revolu- tionary society ABC, and it was re- ported reliably that they told the president the ABC members would leave the cabinet and cease all par ticipaiton in his regime unless he called constituent assembly elec- tions before the general election he has proclaimed for next Feb ruary.
 In addition, Carlos Mendieta and Mario Menocal, both political lead CTS of great prestige, have intimat- ed that they believe De Cespedes to be mistaken in his aim of continu- ing the present government until February.
 The official palace version of the dinner was that it was held flor the purpose of exchanging views regarding a constituent assembly," The demand of the ABC for a constituent assembly united the revolutionary group with the stu dent directory, whose members have made vehement representa- tions to the government.
 One group of students, accom- panied by Secretary of Public In- struction Guillermo Belt, visited the president yesterday and, while expressing friendly sentiments, said their organization felt a constitu- ent assembly was necessary. They declared for complete new deal, and said the assembly was the only means of insuring 1t.
 Another deputation of the direc- tory was to visit De Cespedes to- day.
 The government, believing the best course is to continue with the present congress until the sched- uled February election, so far has clung to it's plan of naming g. con- sultative commission to be a sub stitute for the assembly.

 The amount granted MT LaLi- berte $3,926.5s. The mortgage deed filed this morning was larger than the usual deeds placed on re- cord. It embodied several pages and contained the various clauses of the home loan act passed in Washington, D. c. by congress dur ing the last session.

THE SCHOOL HOUSE
 COMMITTEE MEETING


 The school house committee held a meeting last night and had an- other long talk about bids for put ting a new roof on Crosby high school. The Waterbury Roofing company filed a communication stating that to do the work as per specifications it would have to add a couple of thousand dollars to its proposal and asked permission to withdraw its bid.. This makes the Pelletier proposition the lowest. MT Pelletier was present and the mat ter was gone into very thoroughly, but no action was taken. The com mittee expects to have something to recommend to the board at the meeting next week. Judging by what was said last night the con- tract will go to MT Pelletier.
