When officers of Sheridan Coun- cil, No. "A, Knights of Columbus, are installed tonight at the Colum- bus club, 136 Grand street, some enviable records will be established. James Colwell will begin his 29th year as chancellor. MT Colwell is known throughout the state for the capable manner in which he has held this chair throughout many years of Knights of Columbus &C., tivities.
 Closely approximating MT Col wells term of service is that of William F. Guilfoile who has been recorder for 26 years. AS custod- ian of the transactions of the coun- cil meetings MT Guilfoile today is in possession of records that are invaluable and constitute a re- markable insight into Waterbury fraternal history.

CROCODILE CLUB
 TO HOLD OUTING
First Bake in 20 Years TO= morrow at COmpOunce;
 Many Guests Expected

Prominent political leaders of both the republican and democra- tic parties will attend the tradi- tional barbecue of the famous Crocodile club at Lake Compounce tomorrow. Among the guests of honor expected by the committee in charge are Governor Wilbur l.. Cross, Mayor Frank Hayes, U. S Senators, Augustine Lonegran and Frederic Walcott, Congressman H m a mn P. Koppleman and Mayor Dutton of Bristol. To- morrow's event will be the first in ten years and statewide interest has been aroused in the revival of the old time gathering of cele- brities.
 A purely social organization, the Crocodile Club was formed in 1876. The previous year Cad Nor ton, one of the proprietors of Lake Compounce, petitioned to have a portion of his property set off from the town of 'Southington to the town of Bristol. This was accom- plished through the efforts of the late Governor Marcus Holcomb and other members of the Legislature An invitation was extended these men and their friends to attend a sheep roast and at that dinner the Crocodile Club became permanent organization. at
 The first barbecue was attended by about 25 members. Officers chosen at that first meeting were Burwell Carter, twice representative from Plainville, president: Samuel l.. Bloss, Representative from Beth lehem and late State Senator vice. president; Captain Julius B. Savage of Southington, a manufacturer in the carriage hardware line, treas urer, Edward E. Newell of Bristol, author of a booklet describing the club and published by the Bristol Press in 1896.
 From the group of 25 the club grew to a membership of several hundred. This year, because of ap- parent interest, the present man. agement of Lake Compounce has decided to revive the organization and have set the date for August 30, for the annual barbecue Was always held the fourth Thursday in that month. Requisites for mem- bership originally included an in- vitation from a member and gen. tlemanly conduct. This year q per sonal invitation is not necessary and the public is invited. The din- ner will be served promptly at p. m.

LIE divulged yesterday that the
Il Il song which won the prize
was written in a few spare mo-

and was his first attempt at muSi-
cal composition.
During his navy service, Mr..
Jones explained, he wrote more
than one hundred compositions,
none of which had been published
but which he wrote lust for the

No great stretch of the imagin-
alton would be required to per-

His musical background he OBJ

said there was no intention Of inter-
fering with freedom Of the press they
spoke truly. They have no such In
tention. But the difference is that
Secretary Wallace has thought the
thing through to its future phases
and the final end. He Is thorough
student with clear and exact mind.
He has seen what is inevitably ahead
and he is warning the country. He
knows that compulsion Of the farmer
through A. A. A. cannot be COM
pletely carried out If there is a per-
fectly free press to give voice to the
minority.
What happens in N. r. A. is that
representatives Of majority Of an
industry write code of rules. So
soon as the code is signed by Presi-
dent Roosevelt, 1t becomes, as Admin
istrator johnson puts 1t, "the law Of
the land" It becomes binding upon
every individual in the industry, ma
jority and minority alike. There
after, any individual who violates
any rule Of the code is subject to
prosecution for crime. Right now. in
the pressing and cleaning industry in
several cities, minorities are under
criminal accusation. Their crime is
that they cleaned suits at lower prices
than were fixed by the majority who
wrote the code Of the industry. In
typical cases, the code fixed a price
adequate for cleaners who call and

deliver by automobile. The dissent
ing minority are those who do busi-
ness on the "cash-and-carry" basis
and wish to charge q lower price.
For this they are subject to criminal
prosecution.
CompuIsions Appear.
While price-fixing appears in only
q few codes, analogous compulsions
put by the majority upon the minority
and upon the individual appear in
substantially all codes.
All this does not prove conclusively
that N. r. A. will lead ultimately to
interference with freedom Of the
press. It does bear out Secretary
Wallace's contention that such COM
pulsions as are inherent in both A. A.
A. and N. r. A. cannot be enforced
except by bringing about "a unani-
nifty Of opinion and disciplined action
even greater than that which we ex-
in the (war) years 19l7-19."
That would mean at least as much
of opinion as we had dur
ing the war, when 1t was q crime to
say anything that might discourage
sale Of Liberty bonds. To build up
this wartime psychology has been
