The realization that Mr. Roose-
welt, although he listens patiently
to their theories, is not going to
play ball with the radicals who
would turn the whole system up
side down without waiting for any
overwhelming demand from the
public, has been a great dissapoint-
n,ent to most of the ultra-radicais
who have had the Presidential ear.
Not the least disappointed man is
Professor Tugwell, Assistant Secre-
rary of Agriculture, who is out
spokenly Socialistic, and who has
staked his career upon the effort to
put a curb on business enterprise
by his so-called "Tugwell Bill
which would cripple the food and
medicine industries and make it
almost impossible for them to adj
yertise at all.
No proposal which has emanated
from Administration circles has met
with such widespread opposition
as this. This opposition is the best
evidence that the nation as a whole
is very far from being ready to go
Socialist. Tugwell's plan would
put two of the largest industries
in the world under the complete
autocratic control Of bureaucrats.

Washington "A good many
members of Congress-, both Houses,
who came back to Washington all
steamed up to say out loud what
they thought about the New Deal,
have been disappointed to discover
that they can get no support from
their colleagues for any open attack
upon President Roosevelt and his
policies. Being politicians, they
don't want to put themselves in an
unpopular position, so they are
keeping their feelings bolted up for
the time being. Before long some
of these safety-valves will begin
to pop, and many things will be
said on the floor of both Houses
which will make shot" headlines;
but the fact will still remain as it
is now, that President Roosevelt is
running the Government of these
more or less United States, and
Congress is still taking orders from
him.
Summing up the news which re-
turning Congressman and Senators
have brought back from their
states and districts, it comes down
to this: There is a general sense of
better times. Recovery is definite
ly on the way almost everywhere.
There is a great deal of popular re-
sentiment, especially among business
men and industriaiists, at what are
termed the pictorial methods of
Washington, but there is a pretty
general agreement that the objec-
sives of the Administration are for
the public welfare. What has.
stirred upmost of the directors is
not the purposes but the methods.

Tragic Anniversaries
 j.: JULYs23, 1914 :-: Austria Gives Little Serbia 4S-HOur Ultimatum Meant To Be Unacceptable
By MORRIS GILBERT NEA Service Stan Writer

In the dog-days of the summer of 1914 diplomats and kings made feverish, irrevocable and futile moves on Europe's crazy chess board, with war as the fatal prize of the game.
 Sweeping eastward from the Bal kans and Russia, the mingled emo tions of fear, hate and nationalistic am bition touched one country after another, until all were confounded.
 One month earlier, on June 2S, testy, corpulent, arrogant Franz. Ferdinand, nephew and heir or Emperor Franz-JJoseph of Aus tria, had been assassinated with his morgantic wife, Countess So7 phie Chotek at Sarajevo in what was then Austrian Bosnia. The assassin was Slav patriot snug gled in from Serbia.
 That set off the grim series of events which led inevitably to the greatest war the world ever has seen. How it all started is to be described in serie of daily word- sketches in The Waterbury Demo- crat, starting to-day.

HIGH FIRE-DVER
 THRILLS THRONG
Captain Oscar La Valley Draws Record Crowd
 to Lakewood Park

One of the largest crowds in the history of Lakewood park turned out Last night to see Captain Oscar LaValley, former local boy, per- form his world famous high fire- dive. Traffic on North Main and also over the new Thomaston ave- niie-Chase avenue route was tied up several times during the eve- ming necessitating extra policing. The Connecticut company reported that business was the best in years on the North Main street line with exara cars running every few min- utes.
 Crowds have been tanning the park every Sunday of late because of the staging of free acts, but last nights crowd was the greatest which has damned the popular municipal amusemef1t. center in years. Long lines of parked cars extended down North Main and along the Lakewood and Chestnut Hill roads. Parking in the park proper was stopped long before CAptain LaValley climbed to his lofty perch. No accidents were re- ported and the Lakewood police staff comprised of Officers Barney Burns, Fred Hickey, Charley Nc Weeney, Gene Doherty and Joseph Lavallo did excellent work in handling the crowd. @
 Captain LaValley, a former North End boy, was introduced by his brother Horace, at both after noon and evening shows. All days long these two were kept busy re- newing old acquaintances, many of whom they had not seen in 20 years. The Lavaliey 0nt is one of the most engaged acts in the show world, at present being tied UT with the Coleman Brothers shows with whom they terminate their contract shortly to do many fair bookfngs.
