The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-04-10

Tonight for the first time in
nearly two decades, lights will
blaze in every room of the old
embassy, a long line of motors
will unload jeweled women and
top-hatted diplomats at the door.
Far different from the select and
secret gatherings of the pre-
recognition days, tonight's
house-warmnfng will rival the
grandeur of the Car.
For the Russians have job
to do-make friends in coun-
try where for years they have
had few friends. So they are
capitalizing the capitalists in
the lavishness of their enter
tainment.

court bench, knows that IL is not
DE RIGUEUR to inquire of
judges what their decisions are
going to be. But he just couldn't

think the milk decision will be
handed down? And what dc
you think 1t will be like?"

talking about an entirely differ
