Looking Forward

Aside from any political implications that might be suggested the address of for mer State Senator Albert E. Lavery to the State Hotel association last week should be widely published. He asked the mem- bers to boost the state. Coming as it does one year in advance of our tercentenary celebration it is most timely. Connecticut will be very much in the limelight next year. Her 300th anniversary is about as big an occasion as could happen in New England.
 MT Lavery said among other things that Connecticut is known throughout the world and its people are respected. Its name has been carried to all parts of the globe through development of it's manufactured products; but the surface has just been scratched ." By that we presume MT Lavery means our re- creational development. There is where big possibilities lie ahead of us.
 We can be thankful that considerable work has been done under the guise of state parks and forests It is unfortun- ate that bad times .intervened just as our greatest expansion in this field was about to take place. It has curtailed work, but it has not ended it. Our development has been slow in the recreational field, but it has been sure. We can't expect to make any startling changes in one year, but at least we can sell our wares in stock to the nation. We are entitled to some return on the investment Next year looms as dividend year. Sell your state, but not short.

Federal House Repairs

The Federal Housing Administration has issued it's regulations governing loans for property improvement. Any property owner, individual, partnership or corpora tion with regular income may apply for such a loan. Application is made at any national bank, state bank or trust con- pany, savings bank, building and loan association or finance company approved by the housing administration. The in- stitution hands out the money or the credit and the borrower gives his note for it. Loans from $100 to $2,000 may be applied for, depending upon the applicants in- come, which must be five times the annual payments arranged for. The improve ments planned must be sound and the property must be worth improving
 An adequate regular income and good credit record are the security required. Interest will be not more than 5 per cent. Fees are low and limited to a certain per centage of the total amount. Payments may be arranged on a monthly basis OF seasonable basis (after the sale of crops. for farmers). Notes may run from one to 36 months, or may be paid in full before maturity if that is possible. Some cri- tics of the plan say that the loans are % hedged about with securities that the special arrangement is not necessary that banks could make such loans with out government backing. Others fear the plan merely means running lot more people into debt. If these criticisms arc valid the Housing Administration will not be very busy. Yet it looks like an experi- ment worth trying.

spending of new Forty-niners. Population figures, counting both the staff workers in Knoxville and the dam workers at Norris, twenty miles away, have spurted up 3,750.
 Shtewd political candidates, sensing growing IVA popularity, find it a convenient band-wagon. Though cast Tennessee is "a re- publican oasis in a democratic desert," the recent primaries were favored with slogans such as "Vote for Neal, the Man Who Made IVA Possible"
 Popularity of the project is due to the fact that Dr A. E. Morgan is more than 8 college president. He is an idealist of the two-fisted variety. While in- spring his staff with talk about social evoluti m" and "a broader life," he inspires the val ley populace by presenting them with a spectacle in the concrete. DEATH TO RED TAPE
 They are impressed that IVA is ahead of schedule. It under took to do the job in less time and on less money than had been planned by army engineers-and is doing it.
 Officials can account for IVA efficiency in that they are not bound by red tape. If 1t comes, they cut it.
 Take the matter of cables the same cables that carried Mrs Roosevelt on her sky-ride across the canyon in the "man-cage" last month. These cables were not acquired i'm the regular way. The regular way is to take the work of the lowest bidder. But the lowest bidders specifications covered cables which IVA engi- neers. feared would not last, might cause catastrophe. The job went to a higher bidder.
 The tow bidder protested to Comptroller General McCari in Washington. McCarl asked for an explanation. An investigation followed, ending finally in an O. K. to buy cables which al- ready had been in use for six weeks.
 Tn the case of the sand wash CTS, however, IVA officials deferred to proper government procedure, and against their own judgment. took the lowest bid, with saving of $2,500. The ma chimes proved to be only fifty per cent adequate, another type had to be ordered. Meanwhile IVA suffers a months delay on a thirty-four million dollar job. NEW PHILOSOPHY
 An engineer before he was a college president. Dr Morgan says:
 "On job like this, every day is worth thousands of dollars. We can't take the time to work on the old-line assumption that every man is dishonest, and so hedge him in with checks and rechecks. We pick good men and give them free rein. Perhaps we are building not only a dam at

Something's Afoot

Two weeks ago it appeared almost cer- tain that Rep Francis T. Maloney would be the nominee of the democratic party for the senatorship. To-day with the pub lie announcement of the candidacy of Pro- lessor Harry Morgan Ayres of Westport it would seem as if there was to be op- position to the popular Meriden congress man. And State Labor Commissioner Joseph M. Tone of New Haven is yet to be heard from The indications are for a three-cornered race for the nomination. We wonder if this is correct.
 The situation needs some analysing. Congressman Maloney was first in the field so far as public announcements are concerned He made his some weeks ago and was actually contender for the non1- ination many weeks previous to that. His campaign is pretty we'll mapped out now. His headquarters are we'll established His support is rapidly crystallizing. He is not inimical to any particular group of the party that might be set apart prior to nominations In short then how can he fail to get the nomination?
 There are several things that must be considered. One is the Tone candidacy. That the labor commissioner is seriously interested cannot be doubted. His fail ure to announce himself publicly does not mean a thing. If he is to be given the backing of Governor Cross then he must be definitely considered in the race. But We aren't convinced this year that even # Governor Cross approves or rejects candidate prior to convention time thls will be the last word. It would have been so in 1882 and in 1880, but not in 1884.
 Professor Ayres now comes to the front through the medium of letter seeking support from various democratic leaders. It. announces the intention of group of Fairfield county delegates (as yet no dele gates to the state convention have been chosen) to support Professor Ayres. In view of the fact that he was seeking the senatorial nomination in 1882, but lost It to Senator Lonergan there may be consld- erable sympathetic support extended, but actual votes must be pretty well lined up now. one month before the GrOton gather ing.
 Much will depend on the position Sena- ror oLnergan takes. As a last resort he may not support any of the three men, sioned elgibles in this item. If he is casting about for state leadership it probably would be to his advantage to forget about the contestants until two of them have been eliminated. And isn't it pretty we'll es- tablished that goodly portion of the sup port that carried Senaor Lonergan to vic tory in 1882 is now moving towards Rep Maloney? We may be mistaken in this re- spect, but we're inclined to the opinion that it's true, nevertheless. And admin istration support seems in the offing for the Maloney candidacy in the endorsement of National Committeeman Archibald Me Neil A convention fight would add to the prestige of the eventual winner of the senatorial nomination.

SUMMER DAZE
By R. I. Noble

Hot weather blazes down upon us. Like being in an oven. Only you never get done enough to serve. Or be showed in the ice-box to cool.
 Yet you stew until hard boiled. Or at least half-baked. Cracked like the shell of an egg. And no doubt you are the egg that must shell out.
 You look for a shady nook in which to lie. But these have been taken by shady crooks laying for you. Or lying about you.
 Seeking shelter from the swell ter, :,u try beaches, but the peaches" strollihg up and down their reaches make you hotter as you totter toward the water where you oughter find it cool. But you hesitate to plunge lest you miss some miss with something missing miss some sights in misses tights. ....
 well-at last you plunge-be- come a plunger. or something be- longing in plumbers kit. A nut, maybe. (Not a bolt) Feel like you've been hitting the pipe. Or been hit with lead pipe. Then, when everything is getting dark and .cool--a life-guard drags you out. And you start to boil all over again.

Norris, but also a new philos- ophy of government"
 Meantime the cOmptroller-gen- eral goes on gunning for graft. He has threatened personal pros. ecutiOn against indiyiduals whose purchase methods for IVA are irregular.
 Most recent effect of McCarl's threats is shown in the plans for purchase of a dozen mules last week. Fearful clerks making specifications, scurried around getting exact measurements of belly girth and length of ears.
 But the dam rises and the city grows. The name of Senator George w. Norris, pioneer ex- ponent of federal power-plant operation, has been given not only to the dam on the Clinch river but also to the town of homes for directors and workers two miles below, a town whose Number One Citizen is A. E. Morgan.
 From a small white clapboard house tucked away in the trees, Dr Morgan has radiated energy. idealism and a passion for red tape cutting. Even a carpenter working on the construction of Morgan's house was infected. Delayed in hanging a door be- cause the hinges had not been delivered, the carpenter finally ca mo f0 tba hicr hoSS
 It's all done, Doctor" he said proudly. Il got the hinges. 1 went to town and bought 'em myself at the Five-and-Ten."

 MERRY.GO.ROUND
 Big Jim Farley's outer office always is thronged with callers but during this recent sojourn in Yellowstone National Park the tables were turned and he did the waiting. Accompanied by a number of. western demo- cratic leaders, Jim visited the parks famous Old Faithful gey- : ser, and as the time approa ched for one of its regular eruptions the group was arranged for Q picture. But nothing hap pened. Ten, fifteen minutes went by and Old Faithful refused to spout. Finally, after the party had dispersed it swung into ac- tion with particularly heavy upheaval. Senator Elmer Thomas went to unusual lengths to get wide publicity for his in- f1ation speech last Monday at Chicago's Century of Progress fair. Days before its delivery cor respondents and newspaper offices received copies of the speech printed in large type on a huge sheet of gloss paper. Who paid for the expensive printing is unknown, but Uncle Sam stood for the postage. Certain Wall street brokers, still peeved over the enactment of the stock market control act, are circulat- ing a leaflet entitled "Epitaph of Stock Exc hange Members" {" containing bitter ridicule of New Deal policies. The litera- ture is privately printed and distributed, in no way connected with the stock exchange. :. Utah democrats have notified the democratic national com ,mittee that they are preparing to oust National Committeeman Orman W. Ewing and elect a successor to his place.

Although Bridgeport's new postoffice was part of the federal building program authorized by Congress in May, 1928, the structure itself will not be formally opened until September. And that has enabled the ruling powers at Washington to make a few changes that prove quite conclusively that after all most of us, high or low, are bit jealous of what posterity may say or think. The cornerstone of the Bridgeport edifice at one time had in- scribed on it the names of Ogden L. Mills as Secretary of the Treasury and James A. Wetmore as supervising architect. These have just been removed to make way for the names of Henry Morgenthau, Jr, Louis A. Simon, and also that of Pos.- master General Farley. It seems that in the course of construction the limestone front showed streaks It required much grinding to remove them. The corner stone inscription vanished with the streaks So when new names were pro- posed it was natural that the democrat in- cumbents came first

Norris, Tenn, Aug. 14 - By next April Tom Banes will be- lieve that there is really a dam at a place called Norris ten miles down, the river. For, by next April, the waters of the mar row Clinch will begin to broaden until they creep up and over the site of his shack and his COW barn.
 But at present he refuses to believe it.
 You ain't a-goin' to get me to leave this home. A dam? Yes, I've heard tell about this dam ever since the war. But l don't believe they'll ever get around to buildin' it."
 It is only ten miles from the home of Doubling Thomas Banes to the scene where thousands of his more progressive valley kin and neighbors flock on Sundays to stand on the brink of the can- yOn and stare down at the con- crete masses that represent Norris dam one-third completed.
 It is more of a miracle than Niagara Falls because less than a year ago there were no crush CTS and trucks and cable towers and coffer dams, no great scars in the rock of the canyon walls where soon the concrete will grip the stone - nothing but quite, timber-covered hills with the muddy Clinch flowing through, on it's way to the Ten nessee.
 MORGAN OF ANTIOCH
 So the people turn out-the younger people mostly, bringing the babies and signing the guest book and listening to the guides, who explain how the dam will back up the waters of the little Clinch to make a lake with an 8OO-mile shore line and store water for power plant 400 miles below.
 There have been doubters other than Tom Banes, many skeptics, many critics, people who heard that the Tennessee valley authority planned to amuse itself reviving those, quaint folk-QanceS. people WHo resented the intrusion of direc- tors who were in one case a college president from Ohio Arthur E. Morgan of Antioch, and in another a young lawyer from Harvard-David E. Lilien- thai.
 But when the pouring began the pouring of money and the pouring of concrete, skepticism paled. Knoxville, headquarters Of the IVA, is flush with the

Rome Letter
By JOSEPH H. BAIRD

United Press Stan Correspondent.
 Moscow (UP)-New York has its Stock Exchange, Chicago it's Grain Exchange, New Orleans it's Cotton Exchange, but Moscow has the strangest exchange of all.
 It is a Room Exchange, the pe- culiar product of Socialist system which eliminates such capitalistic mediums of transfer as real estate offices but neglects to supply an efficient substitute.
 Although unofficially = perhaps illegal-Moscow's Room Exchange. composed of group of shrewd gentlemen who lounge around the exterior of the State Bureau for Exchange of Rooms, does fiour- ishing business.
 Rooms Registered
 Perhaps the reader might ask why the State Bureau itself does not transact the business which goes to the loungers. That bureau exists only for the dignified pur pose of registering exchanges of rooms, while the profit of the loaf CTS comes from actually locating quarters for customers.
 The housing situation in Moscow is entirely different from that in a capitalistic city. When the rev. olution turned life topsy-turvy IF years ago, well-to-do families were elected from their houses and large apartments and these were taken over by the proletariat which in the years following 1917 swarmed into the new capital by the millions.
 Home of 9 Families
 Nine-room apartments which had been the home of one family became the home of nine families. To have a room alone here is com fort To have two is luxury. And to have three or more is to enter the top social strata of Communist economy. Therefore space is at a premium.
 Nevertheless, constant ex- change of rooms goes on. For in- stance, a married couple having a spacious chamber may decide to separate and so want to exchange it for two small rooms. Or, having saved some money, a person with small room may wish to ex- change 1t for a large one, probably paying a premium of 1000 roubles or so in the bargain.
