(SpeciaD-This is a day and
time when everybody gives opin-
ions on something they know
nothing about. So today l dis
cuss opera, grand opera.
The Chicago opera house OPP
ened for the first time in two
years. 1t was never a success
because it was constructed
wrong. 1t was built so every
body could see the stage, but
nobody could see each other.
SO now it IS been remodeled so
you can t see the stage, but you
can see the price mark on every
dress in the house. And it's do
ing fine.
New York opened its season
with an American opera for the
first time in history. American
music has always been consid-
cred by the opera -goers as tit
for nothing but the ears. But
never looked good through a
lorgnette from a box.
That IS about all the opera

Munhall be denied leniency. He
spurned the suggestion of another
officer that Mcdaniel be let off with
a Jail term or else be probated to
his father, Alexander Mcdaniel,
said to be prominent Denver min
ing engineer.
Other factors in the case were
that Mcdaniel, while not having
been arrested previously on felony
times for vagrancy and intoXication.
1t was this factor, Judge Sewell
said, that guided his decision.
"It must be remembered that a
judge considers every case individ-
ually, without reference to coinci-
dence with other cases." he said
I'm the case of Mrs. Munhall, felt
that the lack of any previous rec
ord, her willingness to make resti-
tuition, and her cooperation in
Strengthening out the confusion
caused by her acts, should be weigh
ed"

An inquiry into two assertedly di-
vergent judgments by Harry Sewell,
Los Angeles superior judge, was in
stituted by Governor Rolph today
when he ordered a full report on the
cases of Mrs. Retta Munhall and
John Mcdaniel.
The cases were called to the gov
ernors attention after Mcdaniel
had been sentenced to a term OF
from one to Is years in prison for
| allegedly looting a telephone coin
box of 20 nickels, while Mrs. Mum
hall was granted probation after
| she confessed stealing $27,100 from
her employers.
While the governor refused any
comment on the cases pending q
study of the court records, he indi-
Gated he would favor a pardon for
Mcdaniel if it was shown he was
deserving of executive clemency.

Governor Wilbur l.. Cross, speak ing last night at the Second church forum, urged that the method of controlling liquor distribution in Connecticut, if and when the 18th amendment is repealed, be kept en- tirely apart from political interfer- ence. Governor Cross spoke on Economic Problems of the State" and discussed, aside from the liquor question, the necessity of cutting operating expenses of the common wealth and the balancing of the budget for the next two years. He laid much of the present trouble for the depression to the expan- sion of credit.
 Governor Cross declared that he understands that politicians have not much use for his liquor com mission because he has appointed to it a Protestant clergyman and a Catholic priest. He stated that it is up to those who are church peo- pie to see to it that any small group of politicians does not gain control of liquor distribution if the 18th amendment is repealed. He de- clared himself as being opposed to the return of conditions such as ex- isted before the prohibition law was passed whereby private inter- ests or politicians got rich through issuing liquor 1icenses.t
 The ease with which Liberty bonds and bonds of foreign nations were sold here during the war was the start of the expansion of credit, the governor said. Legislators and promoters saw how easy it was to expand credit and did so with the

result that so much credit after the war was not needed for productive service that it was used for specu- lation, with stocks being split up four to one and one of the new shares soon selling for the price of the old. Next the nations declared economic war against one another through the medium of tariffs. Then we could not collect for loans made because we wouldn't accept goods and we collected gold until we couldn't get any more.
 In those days. the governor said. we were suffering from delusion and now we are suffering from de- pression. During the war, he point ed out, 20 billions dollars worth of property was destroyed. with nothing to show for it and then we thought that we could accom- plish the problem of recreatina capital by expanding credit. The governor also attacked as faulty the attempt to fix prices, as evi
 denced by the farm boards actions He added that embargoes and tar. ifs have always impoverished ed countries that tried them.
 The governor said that the Re construction Finance corporation did some good in that it prevented some banks and railroads from go- ing bankrupt. However. he stated. the result was more debt for the corporations that borrowed. He ad- vocated the separation of the three forms of banking-savings banks, commercial banks and investment houses. He expressed the opinion that because of the present situa- tion We will get a better banking system than ever before.
 The prime requisite of rebuilding the financial structure of the state or country. he explained, is a bal anced budget.

HARTFORD PASTOR
 ON DEPRESSION
Says Those Who Had Knowledge of Facts Kept
 Silent Too Long
SHARP CRITICISM

Now and then somebody states that Father Coughlan, who speaks Sundays on the radio. is rather severe on those who control the money. situation, but 1t is doubtful if he ever carried his criticism far ther in this director than Rev Fletcher Douglas Parker of Im- manuel Congregational, church, Hartford, did in his sermon yester- day.
 The following paragraphs from lengthy sermon by the pastor con veys some idea of how he treated the subject:
 There is the most intimate re- lationship between the disorder in which we find ourselves and the need for the development of fear less character. Bankers now con- demn the affiliation of investment houses. Why didn't they condemn them before they were found to be losing propositions? Nobody speaks well of Insull now. Why didn't those who knew his deals speak out when they were in process? Was it necessary to rob investors of five hundred million dollars to demonstrate that ms method were dishonest? Integrity is not matter of dates. Dishonesty to-day was dishonesty yesterday. Is it necessary now to endure poli- tical trickery until all Connecticut citizens realize they are betrayed? :? There are prominent citizens who know the facts. Why don't they straighten things out at once?
 Let them know that, with the exception of a renegade here and there, religious leadership, Catho- lie. Jewish and Protestant, is be- coming, ever more outspoken. With a God of justice, who knows the heart, evil men will be cor rectly valued. Eventually he will take care of traitors to his will re- gardess of position or popular esteem"
