do not mean the geo.
NV graphical conception Of
Europe, but a certain at
titude to life and to society
which has grown up in Europe and
is characteristic of our civilization.
I mean the spirit which was born in
ancient Greece and, more than a
thousand year later, at the time Of
the Renaissance, spread from Italy
the spirit of personal liberty and re-
gard for the individual.
If our knowledge of natural laws
and the technical possibilities for the
advancement of our lives today have
reached a point nearer perfection
than ever was known before in the
history of mankind, we owe this to
the fact that only the individual can
really create what is new and worth
while. Without such freedom there
would have been no Shakespeare. no
Goethe, no Newton, no Faraday, no
Pasteur, no Lister. There would be
no comfortable houses for the mass
of the people, no railways, no wire
less, no protection against epidemics,
no cheap books. no culture and no
enjoyment of art for all. There would
be no machines to relieve the people
from the arduOuS labor needed for
the production of the necessities of
life Modern life is worth while be-
cause the individual is guaranteed
the possibility of free development,
free communication, free religion and,
as far as the well-being of human
society permits, free initiative of ac-
ton.
Foundation in Danger.
Nobody can deny that today this
foundation of worthy existence Is
in considerable danger. Forces are
at work which are attempting to de-
stroy the European inheritance OF
freedom, tolerance and human dig
nifty. The danger is characterized in
our political life by symbols such as
H4tlerism, militarisr and Communism.
While indicating different conditions,
these all lead to the subjugation and
enslavement of the individual by the
state. and bring tolerance and per-
sonal liberty to an end.
1t cannot be my task to judge the
conduct Of a nation from the point
of view of statesmen, or as one who
is immersed in the responsibilities and
the details Of the daily life of politics.
Yet every one who loves the beauty
of the human spirit, and who believes
himself able to diagnose the deeper
causes of the present situation, is duty
bound to raise his voice in warning
For if we do not make energetic
resistance we shall sink back into
way of life which is indistinguish-
able from that of the subjects of the
old Asiatic despots. 1t will be worse

ORGANIZATION OF EUROPE
AT STAKE in NEW CRISIS
Whole Problem Turns Upon Fate of
Austria as Dollfuss' Rule Fails
to Repel Attacks of Nazis.
BY FRANK H. SIMONDS.

n UR1NG the past few weeks 5
events in Central Europe. and
particularly in Austria, have
- been moving at such rapid
pace that even the diplo-
matte mind itself has found 1t difficult
to keep step. On this side Of the
Atlantic the new crisis has attracted
little real attention because the Amer
ican public has become used to re-
ports Of European crises and even a
little bored by them. Yet it is ap-
parent that the next few weeks prom
ise to be among the most critical in
postwar history.
What is at stake is nothing less
than the future organization or dis
organization of the whole of Central
Europe. And over this issue, if no
peaceful compromise can be discov-
cred. war must not only come. but
must come soCn. For. despite all the
outward evidences of confusion in
German policy, Hitler is steadily ap-
preaching the point where he may
hope to abolish the consequences of
the loss Of the World War and, in
addition, lay the foundations for q
German domination of Europe more
complete than that Of France ever
was.
OF course, the whole problem turns
upon the fate of Austria. And Aus
trian destiny is today plainly in the
balance. Despite all his gallant at
tempts, Dollfuss has failed to estab-
lish solid regime in the face of the
double attack of the NaZis from with
out and from within His govern
ment is crumbling and even before
this article is printed he may have
played his final card, which is an
appeal to the League of Nations to
save, his country from the Hitler
attack.

STRAND

Dancing Lady" hailed the screens crowning achievement in the production of elaborate musi- cal extravaganzas, heads the dou- ble feature program at Warmers Strand today and tomorrow. It boasts one of the finest casts ever assembled including Joan Craw- ford, Clark Gable, Franchot Tone, May Robson, Winnie Lightner, Fred Astaire, obert Benchley, Ted Healy and his stooges, and in addi- ton 300 of the worlds most beau- tiful girls. In it are presented some of the most pretentious pro- duction numbers ever staged and of the musical numbers
 The picture gives both Miss unity, for striking acting por- trayals, the one as the burlesque chlorine who IS determined to get Broadway fame at any price, the other as the musical comedy direc- tor who turns out to be one of the girls greatest obstacles. Franchot Tone as the other man in Miss Crawford's life also score in q memorable role.
 The dancing-particularly Miss Crawford's routines with the world famed Fred Astaire - is something to rave about, and the brilliant ensemble work and pres- entation of the musical numbers sets a new high for spectacular. eye-filling and luxurious film en- tertainment.

Civil Engineers To
 Sponsor Exhibition
Conn Group to Observe Half Century of Progress at
 Convention in Yale February 20

New Haven, Como Jan "A half century of progress in civil engineering will be observed with a convention, a pageant and a unique exhibition in Strathcona hall, Yale university, for three days beginning on February 20, by the Connecticut Society of Civil En- gineers. This state, a pioneer in the organization of it's civil en- gineering enterprises, has developed the science through massive and complicated projects which have been accomplished under the aus pices of one of the earliest and best organized societies in the country.
 Many of the brilliant features in the progress of engineering will be depicted in the pageant, which will be presented in connection with the annual banquet. Outstanding engineers from all parts of the state will take the leading parts. Interest already shown in the pro- ject indicates that the pageant will awaken as great and as universal corresponding interest throughout Connecticut as the Century of Progress, held along similar lines at Chicago the past summer, evoked nationally.
 The exhibition will be easily the most extensive of its scope ever held in the state. It is designed to portray engineering progress as related to industry, transportation, public utilities, and to the general arts with which engineers are iden- tified. t..
 As a part of the celebration, a complete history of the activities of the society over the 50-year period will be sent to it's members on January 15, the date of the formation of the society, which took place in the progressive city of Bridgeport in 1884.
 The committee in charge of the anniversary celebration consists of:
 Clarence M. Blair, first vice. president, New Haven; Carol A. Campbell, Hartford; Chauncey H. Clements, New Haven; Forrest H. Hughes, Yale university, New Ha- ven; Benjamin H. Palmer. Jr, di- rector, Norwich; Charles E. Smith, New Haven: Charles A. Wheeler, past president and director, Storrs; Joseph F. WadhamS, past president and director, New Haven; William T.

PALACE

Place q much divorced philan- dress, a young impressionable gir! looking for "experience," a silly, simpering giddy wife, suave con-, tinental lover and a suspicious hus- band together under one roof for a hectic weekend and you have an idea of the hilarious and sophis- ticated situations which make up the plot of Should Ladies Behave, one of the big attractions opening, tomorrow on the big double feature bill of the season.
 In it's juxtaposition of mixed TO- mances, loves, hates and jealousies, the picture is funny enough and with such talented players are Lionel Barrymore, Alice Bradys Conway Tearle, Katharine Alexan- der, Mary Carlisle and William Jenny filling the leading roles, the various amusing incidents are play ed to the fun. Considerable credit must also go to the excellent di-. rection of Harry Beaumont, who only recently proved his skill at this type of high comedy with his clever work on "When Ladies Meet" <
 Everyone loves the wrong per- son in this scintillating plot. Young sophomoric William Jenney loves the equally juvenile Mary Carlisle. But Mary is fascinated by man of the world, Conway Tearle, who is loved in turn and dominated by the catty Katharine Alexander. Alice Brady is Barrymores wife and Mary's mother, a romantic, love- starved dreamer who mistakes Tearle for an old flame and thinks he wants to marry her. The whole melange is set down in Barry more's country home to work out its destiny. It does, in ways that are howlingly funny, sometimes tightly dramatic and occasionally tinged with emotion stirring punches.
 Barrymore as the grabbed, vitri- olic father, interested only in his daughters happiness and absolute ly convinced that all the rest are idiots, gives another of his sharp, penetrating portrayals. As for Miss Brady with her good intentioned blunders, outlandish gestures and gushing superlatives, it Is no longer necessary to report that she is one of the most entertaining come diennes of the screen.

STATE

How would you feel if you were the butler of an Austrian prince, and were entertaining a lady in your masters luxurious apartment during his absence, only to have him suddenly walk into the room, bearing champagne for your en- tertainment and wearing the ser wants coat which you had pre- viously removed in favor of the princes smoking jacket?
 That's exactly how Paul Lukas felt when Nils Asther, his titled employer, returned home unexpect- edly and resolved to lend his as- sistance in his servants tete-a-tett with his newly-found lady-friend. The prince had a sort of a fellow feeling for him, for he was notor- ious philanderer himself.
 Elissa Landi,. the lady in the case, was not at all fiustered, since the rascally servant had led her to think that he himself was the prince-and 1t was a, long time be- fore she learned otherwise.
 This is a part of By Candle light, Universaps gay Continental comedy which heads the double feature program coming to War ners, State tomorrow with Miss Landi and Lukas in starring roles. The companion feature will be "The Sweetheart of Sigma Chr', romantic story of college life and featuring Buster Crabbe and Mary Carlisle. Performances tonight conclude the engagement of Joe E.. Brown in "Son of a Sailor" and Mans Castle" starring Spencer Tracy, Loretta Young, Walter Con- molly and Glenda Farrell.

s. What is the total amount of license money collected by the board to date?. How much. has been spent and how much remains on hand? What is the perdiem compensation of each of the three members of the board?
 In conclusion and going back to your figures of the 40 per cent sur plus, may say that have had a 16 per cent surplus in my own dairy business for the past three months but have absorbed this myself. I paid my farmer pro- ducers the full z 3-4 cents just as I have always paid them the Class 1 price for all the milk delivered to me. Our farm, my father before me, then my brother and now myself have conducted a legitimate dairy business for close to 60 years, delivering good wholesome milk to the people of Waterbury, paying our bills, mad meeting taxes, which have been as high as 42 mills on the dollar. r.
 Based on my business for the last three months. if follow out the plan of the milk control board, I would keep back from our five herds about $500 a month of which approximately $500 would go into the state pool and $200 into my pocket as 8 dealer, at the expense of my farmers. For a year, this would amount to $500 for the pool and $2,400 into my pocket as a dealer. Stop minute, Chairman Morris and think what a gypping the farmers would get.
 Respectfully yours.

 Hollywood.-The inside story of Fthe spectacular, sordid career of Arnold Rithstein, slain topliner Of New Yorks underworld, will be told in the films.
 The Fox studio, early next year, will bring to the screen Now I'll Tell" by Mrs Rothstein. Although Rothstein was a no- tormious figure in Gotham's his- tory, the picture will not be con- fined to his career. The story will cover the years from 1912 to 1882 and deal with every phase of Manhattan activity in that pe- riod, since Rothstein was connect ed in some manner with all of them in devious ways. ]. The film will be gigantic spe- cial, made on the same scale as E"Cavalcade," according to Win field Sheehan.

 And there will be numerous blackouts depicting Roach's ca reer in pictures.
 One of the funniest incidents happened when Roach was start ing out as a cowboy extra. An assistant director suggested him for such a part in "The Squaw Man" But upon learning that Roach's salary would be $5 a day, Cecil 5. DeMille rejected him, as "too expensive"

 The recent ten-inch snow fall and sub zero temperature follow ing did not prove to be serious handicap to the hardy personnel of Camp Roberts as each man had his full allotment of winter cloth ing. During the past month addi- tional leather gloves. woolen nit tens, mackinaws, fur lined caps, leather, topped packs" overshoes, and comforters have been issued to the men. That, with other cloth ing previously issued, leaves the men with nothing more to ask for regarding protection from the win- tery elements. Should the snows pile up so that ordinary modes of travel are not practicable Camp Roberts would still be able to get about it's daily business as a recent shipments of snow shoes is now available to the command.
 The inter-crew bowling league which was organized early in December has greater following each week. The teams are made up of the four best bowlers in each crew and one night each week they depart for the alleys in Thomaston and roll 0 series of three strings to decide the winner of the match. The stnding of the league to date is as follows. c. A. Passmore's crew won one and lost none; W. J. Nale- walks crew won two and lost one j; H. McCracken's crew won none and lost one; and E. W.

GARDEN

The most absorbing love drama shown on our scree nfor many years comes to the New Garden theater to-day and tomorrow.
 This remarkable picture is the Universal production, "Only Yes terday," the crowning achievement of John M. Stahl, that master di- rector of domestic problem plays. Surging emotions bring to the story g. tense quality which is admirably interpreted by a real all star cast of 72 principals, headed by Mar garet Sullivan, John Boles, Billie Burke and Reginald Denny, and also includes Edna Mae Oliver, Franklin Pangborn, Berton Church i'll, Benita Hume, Onslow Stew ems, June Clyde, Barry Norton, Natalie Moorhead, Walter Catlett and Betty Blythe. The story cov- CTS the exciting period between the entrance of America into the World war and the cataclysmic stock market crash of November, 1929. Against this panorama of American life is portrayed a vitally poignant love story which has never been equaleld for sheer emotional quality on the screen. Even StahPs own Back Street" is unimportant beside the romance of Margaret Sullivan playing 8 naive, adorable southern belle and John Boles, the handsome thoughtless officer. Miss Sullavan, making her movie debut straight from |Dinner at Eight" on Broadway, will also make screen history by her brilliant perform ance. You will see @ new star born here.
 Also on the bill is Buck Jones in "The Fighting Code" and a number of good featurettes.
 The added feature tomorrow night will be Auction Circus with Sam Barlow as master of cere- monies. ..l, Devotees of vaudeville are show ing by their steadily increasing attendance that they appreciate Manager HalliwelPs efforts to give them a variety of entertainment so this week the number of acts will be increased and instead of pre- senting four, there will be five standard acts on the bill.
