Halfway Station

President Roosevelt has hinted at a trip to Honolulu next summer. He would go on warship. The President likes ships, loves the sea and might combine business and pleasure by visiting this outlying ter ritory There are also hints from Tokio that Premier Makoto Saito will visit Hawaii. He would pay visit to the grave of his brother Shogo, who died there about 40 years ago.
 One excuse is as good as another. And it would be an interesting coincidence If the two governmental heads should arrive in Honolulu at the same time There would be nothing, of course, to prevent their meeting while there. In fact, 1t would be an obvious courtesy on both sides.
 Some things might be cleared up in such meeting, better than through the usual diplomatic processes. There are problems involving America and Japan which need clearing up, if these two proud and energetic nations are to continue llv- ing peacefully and profitably on opposite sides of the same ocean.

How Will They Be Financed

As vet Commissioner of Finance and Control Edward F. Hall has not intimated how the state will finance the three insti- tutional projects which he recommended last week. He probably figured that it. was better to let the idea of spending four or five millions in the two year period, 1935-37, sink in before there was any an- imated discussion of ways and means. It seems to be foregone conclusion that the plans will be approved by the Legislature and the necessary funds appropriated.
 In this connection we were interested in what Commissioner Hall had to say about ways and means of averting such deficits as now confront the state. The amount will be $8,000,000 next January when the Legislature convenes. In addl- , tion to appropriating vast sums for insti- tutional expansion some recognition Of this huge deficit must be taken and means suggested and actually adopted to wipe it out.
 Commissioner Hall links this work with !. that of the Tax Study Commission whose report is due this fall. It is expected that 1. it will bring forward such plans as will permit the complete reconstruction of our : tax structure in Connecticut. Once the 7 new tax system IS lISLdlleu IL VIII Oc c simple matter, so Commissioner Hall de- clares, to raise or lower taxes as the oc- casion demands. During years of pros < perity the taxes would be set at such a figure that would enable the state to keep within its budget and at the same time set up surpluses which would tide us !. over in the lean years.
 Theoretically this idea is sound like so many others, but in practice it doesn't always work out the way you expect it. Take, for example, the biennium, 1935-37. IL will be impossible for the state to estab- : lish surplus in those years for the sim -ple reason that all our resources are going to be taxed to keep within budget, that must be expanded by institutional appro- priations, millions beyond the ordinary figure. We're not sure but what the Leg islature may throw off the traces and resort to short-term borrowing or even bond issues in order to get through the period in which the major institutlona! improvements of the Finance and Control Board are being financed. You couldn't blame it, if such an action was taken.

Models Of Service

Dr. R. A. Millikan, famous scientist, took occasion in a speech at Little Rock, Ark, the other day to pay tribute to the
 men who operate the nations filling sta .tions = and said publicly something that ia great many motorists have already said privately.
 Filling station employees, says the great !. physicist, "have improved the manners sand the courtesy and the consideration of sthe American public more than all the .colleges in the country" It is doubtful if there is motorist in 2 he land who would not endorse that 2 katement.

Doesn't Seem Quite Logical

If every businessman in the nation was
 to follow the example of the federal gov
 ernment he would start forward only to
 meet himself coming back from the place
 for where he had started. We have been
 more than agreeable in our support of the
 MIRA. If it is the reform in our economic
 and social lives that is going to provide us
 with comfortable living, it should be
 supported by every man, woman, boy, and
 girl in the nation. If it proves to be just
 another "ism,'' it should be scrapped.
 There have been strict warnings from
 Washington of recent weeks. Business
 must live up to the MIRA. More men must be put to work. Working hours must be shortened. Wages must oe raised. The solution lies, so we are told, < in a complete acceptance of this by every ]. form of business and industry On the other hand we are confronted with the ]. rather alarming spectacle of seeing gov ernment employees thrown on the market. l. Right here in Waterbury today large !. force of substitute mail carriers are Idle. . They'll be idle. They'll be idle until July 1. or later, depending upon conditions then ]. probably.
 : If our postoffices were overpopulated i've would probably have heard of 1t long before this. We don't read that the ' volume of business is falling off rapidly, :. although the value of it may have to some extent. So far as we can see there'll still .be the necessity of delivering mail to 1OO,- !. 900 people in Waterbury. We don't see ]. how such curtailed staff can cope with { the situation if business is supposed to be . on the upward trend right now. It just : doesn't mesh, that's all. Our reasoning !. may be poor, but if we're to live up to the l. MIRA we can't give enforced vacations; we must hire more men.

Good Work

The report on the first full years activ- ities of the Civilian Conservation Corps makes interesting reading. Upwards ot 6OO,OOO young men have been given jobs, substantial reductions in fire losses on the public domain have been made, some mil lions of young trees have been set out, and other work of direct monetary value to the nation accomplished. All this has cost us just $255, 100000 - fully two-thirds of which, it is estimated, flowed directly into the channels of industry, commerce, and agriculture.
 This makes fine record of achieve ment; and it leads one to wonder anew It this C.C.C. couldn't profitably be made permanent institution. To be sure, $255,- 100000 year is a good deal of money for regular item on the national budget. But there is every reason to believe that it is money well spent - from every angle.

By HARRY w. FRANTZ United Press Staff Correspondent

Washington, (UP) - The civil works administration. now de mo- bilized, left fantastic history of human enterprise in the record of it's effort to find work for 4,00O.- 900 people.
 Perhaps for the first time in human history, a single organiza- tion waged campaign on every economic front, exhausting hu- man ingenuity in it's effort speed ily to find 6 defensible excuse for the vast outpouridng of national funds.
 The final report of Civil Works Administrator Harry l.. Hopkins revealed that the invented jobs ranged through the centuries and around the globe. The study of Russian rainfall, the transcription of ancient Spanish land records, and the excavation of prehistoric Indian mounds were among the unique aspects of the program.
 The sympathy of the c. w. A, to the employment needs of art ists, archeologists and statisti- clans, no less than pick-and- shovel workers, helped to give the program an appeal to the national imagination. The c. w. A.. many observers believe, will go down in history as the most generally pop ular of President Roosevelts va rious campaigns against depres- sion.

A Book a Day by BRUCE CATION
Private Fight? Not If He Could Help It

If you like to read about the TO- mantle adventures of soldiers of fortune, you are practically certain to get g. huge kick out of ''The In- curable Filibuster," by Colonel Ivan Lamb.
 Here is a chap whose experi- ences makes the doings of Richard Harding Davis heroes look like the adventures of children play ing in the back yard. For up-
 wards of a quarter century he has been roaming about the
 world, successfully hunting fights that were not private and taking
 his fun as he found it. and his
 book is an uncommonly enter taining and thrilling account of
 his adventures.
 He worked on the Panama
 canal, drifted into revolution In Colombia, where he blossomed out as a machine gunner. fought on one side or another in revolu- tions in all but one of those tur-
 bulent Central American coun- tries.
 Then he became aviator for the Carranzistas in Mexico and, as
 such, took part in the first of all dcTldl OE-HSAIS d SiiS uAdA " bloodless affair. since the opposi- tion aviator was buddy of his served in the British flying corps during the World War, prospected for gold in French Guiana, helped build a railroad in the Amazonian iungles, took part in really exciting revolu- ton in Brazil and in a really funy one in Paraguay well, that's a partial list. but it gives you an idea.
 His life seems to have had an | memorable economic cycle of
 boom and depression. Most ot these revolutions paid well, and when he was flush Colonel Lamb had much fun.
 But invariably his money van ished before long, and he'd have | to go hunt up another war. All | in all, he seems to have worked | extraordinarily hard for his
 money. But 1t seems to have been worth it.

 hart, this book sells for $2.50.

HISTORY

Another street opened in the early 18O0's was Church street, which was laid out, we read. on May 5, 1906. Twenty-Five years later Leavenworth street was laid
 out, so just what the appearance
 was in that locality between Church and the center, must be left to the imagination. It is
 known that there were buildings lining that side of the Green so
 where Leavenworth was later cut through was no doubt just open land in back of the buildings. Then later came the opening of Pros pect street by c. B. Merriman.
 Leavenworth was laid out by
 Mark Leavenworth.
 After Waterbury graduated from aborough to a city, streets took on more of semblance of streets and improvements were more and more the order of the day. A charter of 1853 gave the
 common council considerable pow
 CT in this respect, and later the
 charter of 1871 declared Water
 bury fo be a highway district"
 This charter made provision for
 repairs, alterations and construc- tion. Local streets were consid-

Washington, April 23 = His Louisiana empire tottering, the Roosevelt administration treat ing him like a smallpox epidemic and his senatorial bloc" in com- plete desertion, Kingfish Huey's ears are ringing with a horrid but unmistakable murmuring:
 "It won't be Long, now"
 True, Huey doesn't come up for reelection to the senate un- til November, 1936. But equally true is the fact that the senate, sharply out of patience with the senator from Louisiana, his de- meanor, and his methods, is cooked and primed to dump him unceremoniously down the cap itol steps at the first opportunity mot waiting for 1886.
 BIG FISH
 Two years ago, Huey was re- garded as potentially one of the greatest powers in the senate. To old guard democrats, of course, he was poison, but among dem- ocratic novices in the senate he gathered notable following. Missouri's corpulent B en n e t Champ Clark lined up behind him; so did newcomer Russell of Georgia and Bob Reynolds of North Carolina. He helped Mrs Caraway in her reelection cam paign in Arkansas, and she played ball with him beautifully.
 Then he succeeded in sup planting the conservative Senator Broussard by his henchmen, Oyerton, and during the early days of the present congress was making heavy inroads upon other new democratic ranks.
 But meanwhile, Hucy's meth- Ods began to irritatc senatorial decOrum. The first person to dump him overheard was Sena- tor Harry Hawes of Missouri even before the New Deal. HAM ACTING
 Huey has a penchant for ef- fleets. and he was playing these at Hawes' expense. He would go over to Hawes' desk in the sen- ate chamber, pull up chair next to him, slap him on the knee, engage in deep and ap- parently plotting conversation. Departing, Huey would nod his head vigorously as if they had agreed on important policy.
 Then Huey would take the floor, deliver a vitriolic diatribe usually against Democratic Floor Leader Joe Robinson. Up- on finishing, he would go back to Hawes, indulge in further con- fidential whispering. The im- pression left with the galleries and the rest of the senate was that he and Hawes were in agreement on the speech.
 Finally Hawes put an end to it. When Huey came up for another confidential chat Hawes stOrmed:
 "Get away from me and stay away! I refuse to have 1t appear that Pm in on these plans of yOurs."
 COLD SHOULDER
 That was the beginning. The habit of the cold shoulder for Huey spread rapidly through the senate. It gained headway when another of his pastimes came in- to the open.
 A democratic member might have some bill in the finance committee, for example, with nine sure votes for 1t, and the necessary tenth vote apparently certain but not signed up. Huey

Professors Edgar Anderson of Harvard and Warren Whitcomb of Massachusetts State College report dismal prospects for the fruit crop in 1884, according to the New York Times. But the damage caused by the long and severe winter will not be confined to merely fruit trees Orna- mental and Towering shrubs and trees also are doomed to show signs of internal decay when the warm days have arrived. The Times says, "These specialists fear that the peach crop may be total loss, and that one-third of the Baldwin apple crop will have to be written off. Pear trees have been hard hit. The prospects of the Cape Cod cranberry crop have sell dom been worse. Frosts have damaged the Connecticut Valley tobacco plants. On the other hand cherry and plum trees came through bravely. =. The warning is given that frs, spruces and Carolina hemlocks may turn brown early in the summer. Professor Whitcomb tells gard eners not to prune plants until the appear ance of growth which may be meagre. He is inclined to believe that rhododendrons, wisteria and climbing roses will not blos- son. It is evident to him that evergreens have been seriously damaged. ..." That's most discouraging, but let us hope that little attention will remedy the injuries.

A powerful drive to oust illicit manu- facture and sales of liquor in the United States is about to be launched. It will be the first one under the Roosevelt adminis- tration. When he assumed office, it was foregone conclusion that repeal of the 18th amendment was just around the corner. In those days immediately pre- ceding it we had 3.2 per cent beer and not too vigorous drive against the bootleg gers. Secretary Henry Morgenthau, Jr, of the Treasury Department, is convinced now that the government is losing too much revenue to permit any further law breaking along these lines to continue. Hence he has ordered a drastic move against the bootlegging rings still active in the nation. That's an aid to the thou sands of legitimate dealers, too. There IS no need for bootlegging right now with prices dropping and supplies increasing.
