lILIENTHAL LABELS
7. V. A. FOES TORIES
Says New York and Chicago
Crowd Opposes Fight for
Average Man.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, October 90
David E. Lilienthal, Tennessee Valley
Authority power director, told a West
tennessee audience here tonight that
the T. V. A. is proud" to count
among its leading enemies "the whole
Tory crowd concentrated in New York
and Chicago that always fights every
move toward giving the average man
and woman better chance"
"The interests of this crew of re-
dictionaries and your interests" he
said. "are diametrically opposed.
There is conflict there that cannot
be reconciled. Either T. v. A. has
to be for you or it has to be for
this other crowd. When that crowd
begins to sing the praises of T. v. A.
it is time for you to throw us out"
Lilienthal was invited to Memphis
by civic and official leaders to ex-
plain T. v. A. The city will vote
November on whether to issue bonds
for municipal system to distribute
T. v. A. power.
Saying that the T. v. A. has cap
tured the imagination of people all
over the country with its program, he
added, but the worshippers1 of the
ghost of Herbert Hoover say that We
ordinary folks can't have all these
things"

1t is difficult to know when and
how TO sympathize with foreigners
over the death of their leading states
men.
A few days ago a distinguished
foreigner was in Washington for a
few hours. At reception given in
his honor an American-to be polite
expressed his sorrow at Poincare's S
death. The foreigner looked blank
and said, Yes, it is very sad thing
that he died-so late."
The assassination of King Alex
ander was a bitter lesson to reporters
who write their stories ahead of time
in order 70 catch the last edition with
full story.
The star reporter Of one of the
leading Partisan newspapers which is
published at noon telegraphed from
Marseille the story of Alexander's
arrival while the King and Barthou
were still in the harbor. He de-
scribeo not only the arrival of the
Yugoslav monarch. but also the "radi-
ant and triumphar visit of the King
to the town hall.
He took advantage of the occasion
to throw few bouquets to the chief
of the Marseille secret police, who ac-
quilted himself so brilliantly of the
dlfficult task of safeguarding the life
OF the monarch in city full of dan
gerous characters. There was a gentle
hint in the story that the French
government owes promotion to that
able policeman.
The paper was on the streets when
the news of the assassination of the
hng reached Paris. And wasn't the
reporters face red.

a modest beginning, the investment
has grown to more than $4,000. The
enrolment has increased to 470 pu-
pills, ranging from to "a years old.
Trains for Rural Life.
The institution is different from
most rural schools, in that it attempts
to fit it's students for rural life in
stead of offering the same courses
given in urban schools.
It now is classed as an accredited
Junior high school. and its admins
traitors hope to make it an accredited
high school by the end of next year.

Should the Yugoslav people be will
ing to play the game with the other
Balkan states, it is likely that Hungary
will be made the scapegoat for Alex
ander's murder. There are definite
proofs that the aSsassins had been
trained on Hungarian territory. The
principal political reason, however,
why Hungary should be made the
scapegoat is that that country is not
nearly as strong as Italy, and drastic
demands made to the Budapest gov
ernment by all the states of the en-
tente will be met without difficulty.
A note of similar character demand
ing assurances" and guarantees for
the future" from Rome is likely to
find it's way in Mussolini's waste
paper basket.

OF the two remaining Balkan sover-
eigns, King Carol of Rumania seems

Although Boris has been for

ter OF the ItGltGn monarch, ILdLy

Boris is the target of fierce attacks
at the present moment. Pamphlets
are distributed throughout Bulgaria
denouncing him of being of foreign
blood-which is true-showing him up
as a man without strength of char
acter, lacking resolution, and putting
the safety of his throne ahead of the
interests of the Bulgarian people.
1t is true that since the last coup
d'etat, the Macedonian party has been
weakened, but Macedonian revolu-
tionarieS are still alive and still expert
in handling submachine guns and

PICKETS HALT TRANSFER
OF BELOVED PRIEST
Church Officials Hold Conference
to End Demonstration Against
Reported Order.
Ry the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
KENOSHA, Wis, october 90
While Rev. o. G. Krusing watched
members of his devoted Italian flock
"picket" outside his parsonage, high
Catholic Church officials met in Mil
waukee today to devise some way OF
ending the demonstration.
When a report that Father Krus-
ing was to be transferred reached the
parishioners, a mass protest started.
The pastor was kept virtual prisoner
in his house near Our Lady of Mount
Carmel Church.
Father Krusing's knowledge of the
language and customs of the Italian
people has won him high esteem.
Stoically the priest endeavored to re-
main silent on the subject, despite
his eagerness as well as his fock's to
know whether the reported transfer
was definite.

The foreign ministers of the Little
Entente-YugoSlavia, Rumania and
Czechoslovakia-and those of the Bal
kan Entente-Yugoslavi Rumania.
Turkey and Greece-are putting their
heads together to obtain satisfaction
for the assassination of King Alex
ander through their own efforts
rather than through the paternalism
of France. They appear to have signed
a declaration of independence" from
the great Western powers, feeling that
their interests will be in better hands
by direct action of their own than
by the intervention of the other
powers. incidentally, they think that
a war will be thus easier averted.

The selectmen ordered all men available on the roads Tuesday in- cluding the S5 CWA men who will not be used on the work after this evening when the dead-line will be reached for these men to be paid by the government. The strong winds that swept over Thomaston Tuesday caused many of the roads which had been cleared of snow to be blocked again and the men worked all day opening them up. The town workers under the di- rection of the selectmen have done good job and deserve lot of credit for the fine condition of most of the streets in town which have been plowed and traffic has been able to function almost as if conditions were normal. On March End the CWA employees will take up the work at the Mount Tobe airport and will be continued on the payroll until that field is put in shape as an airport.

 The MIRA critics he invited to Washington arrived and immedi- ately began to criticize.
 Meyer Parodneck even told Johnson to his face that he needed shaking up.
 Mrs John Boyle. Jr. informed Deputy Administrator A. D. White side that she didn't trust deputy administrators.
 Charles r. Bloom denounced the MIRA so whole -heatedly that he set himself on flre--with cigar.
 Benjamin c. Marsh announced fiatly that the MIRA was u failure.
 These complaints are mere sam ples, indicating the kind of battle- royal being waged ln five meetings over the most spectacular of Presl- dent Roosevelt's new deal agencies.
 General Johnson was smoking q cigarette at the Washington hotel when the oilve-skinned Porodneck. representing the emergency cons ference of consumers orRanlzn- tions. strode to the loudspeaker. He said NRA ehieftains were too con- BeFvative.
 "YOu are casting personal asper. slonB." shouted Gen Johnson. Por0dneck Glared at Johnson and shouted back;

Sub-zero temperatures this morn- ing, hitting as low as 10 below zero in some of the more exposed places in Waterville, marked the close of the worst February in many years. With an all-time rec ord for snowfall and extremely cold weather local residents feel little regret at the passing of the current month. The snow and cold weather have seriously hampered the work on the Thomaston ave- nue sewer project and have held up entirely the starting of work on the paving project, this delaying by many weeks the return of normal traffic conditions in Watervilles principal thoroughfare.
