MARCH HONORS BENTNER
The Sailors Holiday
Dedicated to Leader
of u. S. Navy Band

Samuel Leasing, B altim ore
musician, has composed a march
called THE Sailors Holiday" and
dedicated it to Lieut.. Charles
Benter, leader Of the United
States Navy Band.
Yesterday Mr.. Leasing expert
enced the thrill Of hearing his
stirring air played by Uncle
Sans Navy Band with Lieut..
Benter conducting. And when it
was all over, bandmen and audi
ence gave the composer a great
big hand.
The march is a mixture Of pop
ular naval airs, spirited con-
glomeration of Anchors Aweigh,"
$50 Blow the Man Down" THE
Sailors Hornpipe." and other
tunes, calculated to make sailor
lad step high, wide, and hand
some.
Mr.. Leasing is no amateur
musician. Though only 33, he
has played viola with the Balti-
more Symphony Orchestra for
IL years, and violin in most of
the large theaters in Baltimore.
Born and brought up in that
city, he studied law after being
graduated from high school,
However after three years of
Blackstone he decided that music
was his forte.
He has composed several pop
ular numbers, one waltz ballad,

POLITICS IN

undoubtedly rebound to his own
end and to his partyS ultimate
good.
But the little fellows in the
little towns who are to be in
direct charge Of administering
the relief don't seem to realize
that the President knows more
about politics in a minute than
they will ever know. They can't
seem to get it into their heads
that it is sometimes better to
sacrifice a little advantage now
in order to obtain greater ad-
vantage later.
So it can be expected that while
Mr.. williams, backed by President
Roosevelt'S dictum. will be able to
keep his aides from becoming can
didates for local office, the diff
culties of forcing them to avoid
participation in political affairs
are virtually insurmountable.
Peril to New Deal
Unless, however, this is done to
a measurable degree the new deal
will receive a black eye from
which it will never recover.
The public already is greatly
disturbed at the possibility of
blanketing national politics with
a covering of Federal money.
They believe that the President
Is cOnscientiOusly trying to avoid
this, but, with untold millions
being spent by Democratic ap-
pOinteeS, the danger of question
able use of some of the money
is realized to be great.
It was so with the relief funds
and it is so with the drought
funds.
President Roosevelt clearly
recognizes the dangers of the
situation both from the stand
point of the nation and from the
standpoint of his party.
Aides Disregard Danger
While he is striving to minimize
the danger, some of his aides,
however, insist upon neither dis
regarding it or even encouraging it.
The difficulties which lie before
the President in this connection,
it is pointed out. are not confined
to the so-called emergency agencies
Of the Government.
The let-doWn on civil service re-
quirements under the present Ad-
ministration has been terrific.
Here and there an administrator
has stood out for the merit sys-
tenn as against the Spoils system,
but they have been circumvented
pretty generally by the short
sighted politician who can see a
Government job only as a vote
getter.
Secretary of the Treasury Nor
genthau is almost alone in his de-
termination to keep his depart
ment free of politics. In virtually
every other department Post
master General Farley and his
personnel aides hold sway.
It is expected that as the con-
gressional campaign draws to a
close the President will take occa-
sion to repeat his warnings as
given recently to the relief admin
istrator.

Change of German Rulers May Cause Some Crisis
 in Europe

Washington, Aug. 2- CUP) = News of President Paul von Hin denburg's death today was felt keeply in official and diplomatic circles nere.
 Apprehension was felt by some that Ihe passing of the great field marshal might intensity Germany's troubles and spread further un- easiness in Europe. However it was believed in general that as- sumption by Chancellor Adolf Hitler of the powers of the presi- dency indicated further strength ening of the Nazi regime.

 While every development in Ger many was being followed with closest interest, General Peyton c. March, American chief of staff dur ing the World War, paid tribute to Hindenburg.
 His death removes from the great figures of the World War;" said March. "The only man who after the war retained the over whelming support of his country.

Charges that the cells at the Wa terbury police station are in "awfuI' condition, made in city court this morning by Joseph Francis. 35, of Wolcott, are de- nied by Police Superintendent Jo- seph H. Mclean, who claims that the jail here is better than that of most American cities. The criti- cism of sanitary conditions at the jail was made by Francis while he was testifying in his defense against breach of the peace charges.
 I've been in the army and I've slept in barns. but I've never seen anything like them," declared Francis, who then went to claim that he had been unjustly arrested by Motor Patrolman Joseph Lo- vallo and forced into a cell be- fore he had a chance to secure a bondsman. Furthermore, he al- legged, he was told that he must secure a cash bond of $100 before he could be released, rather high bond for an alleged breach of the peace.

TRAFFIC LIGHT
 AT LEAVENWORTH STREET CHANGED
Many Drivers Have Made Complaints I at It
 Could Not Be Seen

Finishing touches were being applied this afternoon to the install lation of a new traffic light at West Main and Leavenworth streets, on the sidewalk alongside the Green. The new signal light will undoubtedly end complaints of drivers that the single light al- ready there, at the southwest cor ner, could not be clearly seen at all times.
 The new light has been install led by the police department and will begin regular service tomor-- row. It will be timed with the light diagonally across from it, at the corner near the Colonial Trust company building.
 Police today also placed new rotary traffic signs at the junction of. Meadow, Canal and Benedict streets. It is in the location up to now occupied by one of the last of1the city's horse troughs, another victim of motor car progress.
 The new traffic light at Leaven- worth and West Main will be clear ly visible from all three directions necessary and should end the pro- tests of motorists that the signal light at the corner is. not enough to be easily followed during heavy traffic or while care are parked near it.
