Workers Attack
FaSCism;; Vienna
Forum Is Closed
Rumor Is That Hapsburg
May Be Austrian
President
By Burck

VIENNA, April Is. = The So
callod Peoples Forum conducted by
DR. Karl Winter, deputy-mayor OF
Vienna, in which he publicly de-
bated on the merits of Austrian
fascism, was closed by raid last
night, when is persons were ar
rested. Workers had crowded into
this small hall seating only 500, tc
declare their hatred of fsscisrn. One
worker who spoke against fascism
was arrested as soon as he had
finished speaking.
The workers present sang the In
ternationale, and forced his release
When second worker got up
and also attacked faScism, the police
raided the place and closed it up
That Archduke Eugene, of the
House of Hapsburg, may be made
the next president of Austria is de-
clared very likely in well-informed
circles here today.
1t is known that President Miklas
is to be replaced with the final re-
organization of the Austrian state
apparatus on fascist lines. A Specia,
government decree has been passed
making it possible for Eugene tc
return to Austria, although the laws
exiting the former imperial family
have not yet been annulled.
Entry of a Hapsburg into the
Austrian government would repe-
resent a sharp aggrayation of the
war danger in Central Europe, as
the new countries formed out of the
broken-up Austro- Hungarian en-
pire, and particularly Czecho-
slovakia, are sharply opposed to the
restoration, which would be seizeo
on by monarchists as an instru-
ment to agitate for recreation Of
the old empire.

the workers defended themselves so
we'll that the procession was broken
up and only three of the anti-fas-
cist slogans.
The fascist courts continue to
pass terroristic sentences on Com
munists who are kept in the Italian
concentration camps. Andrioli
Oreste of Rome, and Communist
named Marnocchi, have been con-
demned-the first to eight months
and the second to six months soli-
tary confinement, or having in
suited a fascist guard"

Laying the Blame

Senator John c. Blackall of Hartford, a native of this city, spoke convincingly last week on Connecticuts liquor control act. He warned his audience, the Civi- tan Club that unless we were careful we would "vitiate" the law. And we're afraid he is right. There is too much ado over the real intent of the statute as passed by the 1883 Legislature. We ad- init, as does Senator Blackall, that the present law must undergo changes, but it's vital features must be preserved if we are to have any enforcement.
 We presume the controversy now rag ing within the ranks of the various types of permittees occasiQned Senator Black all's remarks. We are beginning to think ourselves that the less tampering that is done with the law the better off we'll be. Of course we must accede to any rulings laid down by the courts in response to de- mands made for interpretations of the enforcement act. But in the main the law must stand as it is. We agree to that and we are ready to see real control Of liquor and not semblance of one.
 It is becoming apparent evidently to great many people that there may be q fair profit in the establishment of various types of liquor stores. They find out, per haps to their sorrow after establishment, that all that glitters is not gold. The for tune that beckoned to them is still beckon- ing. It's as far away now as it was then. It isn't fair to the legitimate dealers, to the brewers, to the distillers, to the vint- ners that their businesses be ruined by any retailer.
 Repeal of the prohibition amendment did not necessarily throw off the lid on manufacture and sale of liquor. It put the matter of enforcement of such up to the states. Right here in Connecticut we were careful to prepare such a statute as might reasonably permit liquor sales and manufacture and at the same time assure every resident of protection for his lndi- vidual views and tastes. We didn't intend to turn our state over to liquor interests We didn't intend to ostraciZe the manu- ,facturer or the retailer of liquor.
 As Senator Blackall says, Liquor won't destroy the United States, because if it could have done that, it would have accomplished it long ago, when the amount of rum to be given contractor in erecting church was stipulated in the building agreement. But the best inter ests of the people will become impaired by bad combination of legislators with the liquor men standing in the back ground unless the people of the state real ize that a liquor control act must be en- forced. :" Consider that well. En- forcement is vital to any system of liquor control. We can't have that when there is constant fault-fnding.

Know Your Waterbury It's History, Facts and General Information
HISTORY

In writing of Waterbury's indus trial history much will be omitted that is perhaps of much impor- tance in this phase of the city's history. The complete account of this part of our history and achievement would be as subject in itself. We have mentioned briefly some of the larger and smaller con- cerns of early years. The history of the Chase Companies, Inc, a leading brass concern of the coun- try, occupies prominent place through span of years since 1887. A small brochure called "Chase Copper and Brass" outlines this company's history through the years, and which we use for our information. The original plant, 1t is stated was the Waterbury Man. ufacturing company. which was founded In 1897; formerly called Hitchcock's and later the United Button company: in 1876 1t was incorporated under tho name of Tho Waterbury Manufacturing company. and in 1882, 37 men were employed as against several thou sand at the present time.
 In 1900 the company was called the Chase Rolling Mil Co.,, where casting and rolling was engaged in. They were now producers of Chase brass sheet, rod and wire tubing. The Chase Metal Works, located in Wnterville. was built in 1910. IT. 1917 the thrce companies, the Wa terbury Manufacturing the Chase Rolling Mill and the Chase Metal Works companies wore merged into Chase Companies, Inc. The broch- ure goes on to state that ware-

New Declaration Of Aims

The recovery program at Washington has passed through so many crises that It hardly seems worth while to call attention to the existence of new one. Neverthe- less, it is growing plainer each day that the whole administration scheme of things has reached it's most crucial phase to date.
 The fact that MT Roosevelt's program has been having tough sledding on Capi- tol Hill recently would not mean much except for the fact that this opposition reflects rising opposition among the congressmen's constituents. Among the snaQs it has hit may be listed the follow ing: Modification of the stock exchange control bill in the direction sought by Wall Street. The announced decision of legisla. tive leaders to liberalize the securities bill fin the same direction.
 Modification of the Wagner bill to meet the objections of large employers of labor. Drastic changing of the airmall policy in response to widespread objections from the business community. Defeat of the St. Lawrence waterway bill and over rid ing of the veto on the economy bill. Aban- donment by the MIRA of it's plan for blanket order to cut hours and raise wages in industry.
 Other things could be cited, but these are the major points. And review or them leaves one with the feeling that there has been slowing up of the ma chinery which functioned so smoothly q few months ago. The nation is growing restive, and Congress reflects that feel ing.
 All this being the case, what happens next? It is customary to say that MT Roosevelt will presently pull new rabbit out of the hat. Yet no magician's hat IS bottomless and no supply of rabbits IS inexhaustible. In this case what we have to expect is not so much new rabbit as a redefining of the whole program and a reiteration of fundamental policies.
 The first phase of the recovery program is over. A substantial amount of recov- cry has actually been made and more is jn prospect. The task of maintaining the balance between recovery and reform be- scmes more difficult than ever. If our present confusion is to be ended, it can De through only new declaration of aims cad principles from the White House.

A Book a Day hy BRUCE CATION
A Rabalesian Yarn, . Somewhat Dulled

"Magnus Merriman." by Erie Iinklater. is n lusty, robust, and Rabclaisian book which has an odd way Of growing n little hit anemic and hollow-chested every third chapter or so.
 It's n rambling tale about a young Englishman who makes q financial success as q novelist and decides to revisit his old home town in the Orkney Islands.
 En route he stops at Edinburgh. and there n friend gets him mixed up fin Scottish politics. He becomes in fact, n Scottish nationalist. seek Ing tho separation of Scotland from the British empire.
 His adventures thereupon be- come diverse and ludicrous. He runs for parliament. his manager absconds with his funds and he is hopelessly defeated. He meets an American girl. falls mildly in love with her. and then is unable to ex- trIcatc himself from her affections He gets drunk. has arguments gets arrested for quoting Shake spenre in public house. wanders away from Scotland 10 the Ork- ncys. at last. gets all tangled ID with a farmers daughter there and eventually. to his own amaze ment. marrics the girl, shelves his literary aspirations. and becomes 2 farmer.
 Now all this is free-flowing story, ironic and gusty, with some very delightful passages in it: and the chief objection to 1t is that MT Linklater has set himself tone which he doesn't maintain con- sistently.
 The book drags. in spots. the ro- bust humor runs thin, the whole business is overlong. It's Rabe- laisian, true enough a couple oi fingers of Rabclais, and the. rest plain water.

 Berlin (UP).-Thc Hitler Youth organization are expected to reach total membership of more than 6,000,000 before the end of the year, If the Catholic Youth. with approximately 100000 members, is assimilated by that time.
 Assimilation of about one-hnif million Evangelical Youth( incIud- ing the YMCA and YWCA, brought the total to more than 5,00 70. 900 in March.
 The status of the Catholic Youth depends upon agreements to be made before the final ratification of the concordat with the Vatican.
 The Evangelical groups already have begun to do service in the Hitler Youth, under an arrange mcnt which leaves the church or- ganizations two Sundays q month and two days A week free for re- ligious instruction as formerly. Ali other activities. such as sport, hiking, and political instruction are under the Hitler Youth which takes two or three afternoons and sometimes an evening a week, and usually the other two Sundays.
 The b,000,000 boys and girls of the youth movement are about equally divided between the Hitler Youth, proper-boys and girls from I4 to IS. the Young German Boys and Girls associations--from 10 to 14. The girls are trained in house wifcly lore, handicrafts. and receive some political instruction. doing some hiking. and marching sometimes with the boys on pnr. ade. Tho boys training is more strenuous. It includes 'wehr- sport" defensive sports), cross country training, camp lore, map reading and gymnastics..
 An elaborate organization has been evolved since the first group of Hotter Youth was formed at Paulcn, Saxony in 1928. The en- tire youth movement now stands under the Reicb's Youth Leader ship, an administrative and execu- tive organization with the youth leader, Baidur von fschirach as its head.

All Connecticut's members of the House
 were unit in voting for the proposal
 that the Home Owners Loan Corporation
 be removed from politics. Under terms of the measure all positions would be awarded on merit alone. The House, how ever, didn't feel as did our representa- tives. As result the bill was defeated. We don't see how it could work. It's hard to convict any of the present officials or workers in the HOLC of not giving their best efforts even though their appoint ment may not have been strictly on merit. We'll wager check-up would reveal that no better employees could have been ob- tained under any system of appointment employed. The emergency bureau has done some good work. If made perma- nent undoubtedly in time employment i'll it would be strictly on value to the corpo- ration and not the particular party in power.

Washington April 16 - The Wagner labor dispates bill is fini.
 E'iercely opposed by business interests, damned with faint praise by General Johnson, and safely shelved fin committee by secretly hostile floor leaders, the measure. hailed on it's introduc- ton as the Magma Charta for American labor," is all washed up.
 The only yemaining hope is that Senator Bob Wagner, its crusading author, can persuade the president. to put his shoulder to the wheel.
 Wagner publicly says he is confident the president will do so. Privately he is nOt so sure. To date the president has maintain cd tight dipped silence on the measure. More than that, his auto labor peace settlement plan runs counter to the basic tenet of the Wagner blil--ma lOrity- union rule. Nor docs 1t bar com measure would make practically impossible.
 Wagner. fighting desperately to keep his bill above water. says he has prepared amendments that conciliate the presidents plan with the provisions of his own. Unfortunately, 1t sounds as if Senator Bob is just whistling in the dark.
 BRAVE HUEY ESCAPES
 The story of how New Orleans Mayor Walmsley-expert pugilist --bcsieged Kingfish Huey Long in a Washington hotel recently was front page news. But one thing which never hit the news papers was how Huey finally es- capped.
 Walmsley had come to Wash ington for the avowed purpose of pummclling Huey because of some remarks the Kingfish had made; but Inc also was seeking CWA money for New Orleans.
 Huey was nervous. For several days he had been ducking Walmsley, and the evasion was getting more and more difficult. On this particular morning 1t was already Il o'clock, and Huey was still unable to get out of his room to reach the senate. NUMBEI, PLEASE!
 At about 11:15 the phone in Walmsley's room rang, and 6 feminine voice asked:
 "MayOr WaI'Dslcy"
 "Yes?"
 "This is the office of CWA Administrator Harry Hopkins. You wanted an appointment with hiin?"
 "Ycs, I did.'
 Well, Mir Hopkins asked me to call and say he'll sec you if you can get here by 11:3O."
 Waimslcy hurried over to Hopkins office, asked if Mir Hopkins was ready to see him yet. The young lady answered iD surprise:
 "Why, Mir Hopkins went out Of town last night. He won't bc back for several days"
 "Why did you call mc over to sec him at ff:3O, thcn?" de- Innnded the mayor.
 'T didn't call anybody" the girl replied. "WhO are your"
 Back at the hotel, the mayor began checking up. He called the telephone operator.
 You remember that call that I got about aH hour agO?" he began. "Whcrc did 1t come frOm?"
 "Ycs, I rcmSshbcr,' replied the operator. "It came from Senator JODg's apartment" NO SURPRISE

So quickly does one's political sun set 1! Official undertakers have. already pre- pared the body of ex-mayor George A. Quigley of New Britain for interment. His overwhelming defeat by the demo- cratic candidate, Attorney David Dunn, last week has brought about his political death, at least so say the political sooth- savers. And this when the stalwart re- publican was probably in line for posi- tion on the state ticket Two years ago, it may be remembered, ex-mayor Quigley was in the running for the gubernatorial nomination. However, before the conven- tion started, he was evidently persuaded not to run. As result his name did not even get before the convention. He hasn't manifested any such ideas this year to date, but perhaps now that he hasn't any municipal duties to worry him he may devote his sole energy to getting on the state ticket. We don't believe this crush ing defeat of last week will change any of his present policies He'll still be as energetic member of the Munich pal League as ever. He'll still be seeking the sales tax as a means of alleviating municipal worries. One defeat, however disastrous, shouldn't end mans useful ness in the civic life.
