Woodin Leaves The Cabinet

While it has been generally understood that William H. Woodin would not return to his place in the Cabinet as Secretary ot the Treasury, the appointment of sue cessor was not definite until December 31. when the acting secretary Henry Morgenthau, Jr, was named. Ot course, MT Morgenthau was actively formulating the departments policies of recent weeks, during MT Woodin's absence. And 1t was the concensus that even if Morgenthau wasn't the secretary in name he was Tn every other respect. He now merely drops the title acting.
 In a way we feel sorry to see Woodin leave the Cabinet Of course, he wasn't tuned to the Roosevelt tempo. He got out of step quickly, despite his inherent musl- cal talent. Then his health broke. He would have dropped his portfolio over month ago had not President Roosevelt urged him to take vacation With the res ignation held in abeyance. But 1t was apparent even then that the President had plans for his successor. His prompt naming of MT Morthenthau to the post Of Acting Secretary proved this.
 4 It is doubtful if William H. Woodin was Cabinet calibre right in the beginning In the flush of the advent of democratic administration it was quite natural to ac- cept him as part of the new deal as the President or any other member of his ot- ficial family. We are not trying to show that MT Woodin was woefully incompe- tent. Far from it. He simply could not adjust himself to the tacks that Roosevelt has been forced to make to keep the ship of state on even keel. It is better that he step out from under and make the sailing easier.

It's Here Again

Congress assemblies today in Washing ton. The transformation in the city is marvellous. It only requires few short hours for our national Capital to become a city of magic One day it is just an other big city; the next it blossoms forth a buzzing and seething scene Legisla- ton of great import to the nation and world should be decided at this session of Congress, the first to be held in January in a hundred years. Senator George w. Norris's lame-luck amendment makes this meeting at the beginning of the year possible.
 Much excitement prevails in anticipa- ton of the Presidents message. It will contain, no doubt, full measure of what is to transpire in the months to come With the democrats in control of both houses there can be expected hearty as- sent to most of the presidential sugges- tions. There will be differences of opin- ion we know on such controversial mac ters as the monetary question. That is to be expected. But in the main the admin ietration program Is bound to succeed.
 There are Ro many important pieces of ieeislation coming up this year that k X task to enumerale them properly. There gre purely domestic matters, such as tbe establishment Of liquor tax That is

The Plan Is Sound

It's quite some months now since It was proposed to develop the waterfront at Savin Rock. Officials of West Haven have long harbored desire to improve shore front values and also the appear ance of the shore at this particular point by development of seashore park. It would be quite different, however, from the Savin Rock park of former years. Gone would be the carousels and amuse- ments of similar nature, not to mention the great collection of concessions. A great many of these have vanished already what with the anti-gambllng or dinance in effect.
 The project, as now contemplateo' would cost $250,O00. It loomed as preV- tv dream to West Haven until Uncle Sam started to mention casually that ne Woulo lend thousands to cities and towns for nublic works that would speed up employ ment and cause money to circulate freely. The PWA has done some valuable work Ill the states. It will continue to do more, flanked and aided as it now is by similar other emergency groups, whose one pur- nose remains the same West Haven vls- toned a federal loan and now has for warded it's plans of development to Archl- bald McNeil, the Connecticut PWA chairman.
 We sincerely trust that something may come of this venture. It has been said of Connecticut shores that of recent years they have deteriorated greatly. If that claim is correct, here is one answer to 1t, namely, the reclamation of a definite area. Present plans include parkway along the waters edge and a seawall. That does not seem like a tremendous amount of work. But it must be remem- bered to develop just such project much private property will have to be acquired There's the rub. Will PWA regulations permit expenditure of funds for buying up land or sanction loans for this purpose?

lima, He never loses his temper, has sound political judgment, Is unassuming, working, and above all knows how to cooper ate. Although 6 staunch cOnser- yatiye 1t was to Byrnes that the president turned for the real command of the administration program at the special session. THE HOUSE
 over in the house. titular dem- ocratic chieftain is Speaker Hen- ry T. Rainey, veteran of 3l years service, addicted to Jeffer- sonian democracy, Windsor ties, l. and mildly fond of Russian vodka. In his hey-day the New England born midwesterner was a militant dissident. Now, loaded with the high honors of his cov- eted post, he is content to let others do the warning.
 Majority Floor Leader Joe Byrnes, tall, gaunt, Tennessean, like Rainey, is another veteran with 26 years of congressional service. Hard working, earnest, Byrnes is of distinctive conserva- tive bent. Much of the New Deal experim enting he privately dis likes. But he is a regular, and will obey orders.
 Robert l.. (MuIcy) DOughton, a North Carolina lnOuntaincer and cattle raiser, served for 21 years as an incOnspicuOus mem- ber of the house and its ways and means committee. Suddenly "MuIey Bob" was pitchfOrkcd in- to the chairmanship and the cry went up, "WhO Is Dough- tOn?" The answer came when despite nation-w wide agitation and enormous pressure within his own ranks, DOughtOn grimly set his face against a sales-tax. He joined forces with the dynamic republican progressive LaGuar- dia, and together they killed it.
 John McDuffie, of Alabama, youngest and ablest of the demo- cratic leaders, is boxed into the innocous chairmanship of the Insular affairs committee. Me Duffie made the mistake of being Gamers candidate for the speakership, and, after his de- feat, was promptly relegated to the background. However, when 8 really tough job of floor lead ing is to be done, the party turns to him and he produces.
 Bert Shell, of New York, lead CT of the republican minority. has never recovered from his party's smashing debacle in November, 1882. He really be- lieved Hoover would be re- elected.
 NO CORE
 If these fioor-leaders had their way the session opening this noon would be long drawn out and thunderous with oratory. But in parison with other sessions, it will not.
 There will be the usual appro- priatiOn bills, sheared to suit the presidents wishes. There will be tariff bargaining legislation, strengthening of MIRA labor prO- visions, stock market curbs, additional grants for relief and public works, some changes in banking Legislation and possibly in the securities act.
 All of which will be enacted with an obedient eye on the White House. For it's occupant still has his apple in his hand, is munching it with great gusto, and maybe there ain't going to be no core.

HISTORY

Following the formation of the parish of Westbury (Wateftown), the first parish meeting was held, and it was decided to builS meeting house, and later furti'cr details were gone into such as thu site, and it was ordered to widen the highway where the meeting house was to stand. By April G., 1741, the framework of the build ing was built. The meeting house green, says our historian, was bounded north on Eleazer Scott's land or the land set for a burying yard, east on the burying yard, south on the highway or stephen Scott's land, and west on land left for a highway"
 In the autograph deed for sale of first burying yard in Water town, the date of which Is the same as the sale of the meeting house site, it is stated that Eleazer Scott received of the town of Wa terbury six pounds in money, and in same deed 1t was stated that the second society of Waterbury was to be known as the Westbury parish. The date when tho first cemetery was used is not known exactly, but the deeds of both burying ground and meeting house sales coincide. Among the deaths recorded at this time was that of Hanah Richards, wife of Will

A Book a Day by BRUCE CATION
Here's a Fine Book
 for Drink Mixers

would hate to cause any of you to fall into loose mode of living Still. you can stock your cellar nowadays without stepping on the hem of the federal constitution and if you want to learn how to
 mix your drinks properly, 1t seems to be my duty to report that "The Omcial Mixers Manual" by Pat rick Gavin Duffy, is just the book you need.
 MT Duffy is an old-time bartend. CT, and in this book he gives just about every recipe for mixed drinks that anyone ever tried any
 where. He is, however, what you might call fundamentalist.
 He quotes many recipes that
 were devised during prohibition and he shakes his head over them very sadly. He is opposed firmly to mixing any two kinds of strong liquor in one drink, "especially.' he adds, "when they are shaken together with bitters, cream, and raspberry sirup." And he remarks: "Old barkeepers know well that drinking different strong liquors at one session often brings on sud-
 den intoxication and sick head aches afterward." So he has put a star against all recipes that violate this rule. He also gives rules for bartend-
 CTS. Such functionaries, he says
 always should be neatly shaved and have immaculate hands and
 nails. They should wear fresh white linen coats, "and I personal ly fancy a carnation."
 Nor should bartenders be toe
 talkative: "rhe bartender should
 answer civilly and briefly every reasonable question that is put tt
 him, but he should not enter into
 protracted conversation with tho customers"
 But it's the recipes that are i'm. portant, and there are scores upor scores of them here. And if yot feel you need such book. here! your dish.

Washington, Jan. 3-As the gavels fall this noon in the house and senate, two factors feature the seventy-third congress.
 One is the fact that it is be- wildered, docile and ready to eat out of the presidents hand. THOUSANDS OF CHANGES
 The other is the fact that while a thousand and one changes have taken place in the policies and personalities of the administration end. of the government, the rows of seats on the floor of congress hold the, same old faces, clinging, for the most part, to the same old poli- cies which the New Dealer in the White House discarded long ago.
 Usually congress comes back from several months away from Washington loaded for bear and rarin' to go. It cuts out for itself the role of chief check-rein on the president and keeps that role until the last rap of the gavel In the spring.
 This is a system which under our government of checks and balances is not so bad during times of prosperity, but at this session of congress it is going to be pretty well scrapped. The leg. islators may blow off occasional bursts of steam like the trial bombs which Missouri Senator Jim Reed echoed against the aluminium works of the House Of Senator Dave Reed last week, but on the whole they are in q docile frame of mind and ready to listen dutifully to the Great White Father.
 Look over the list of leaders of the 73rd congress and it is easy to see why this is so. Most of them, especially the demo- crats, have only a nebulous 1dea of what the New Deal Is all about. They are out of place with the progressive young men around Roosevelt. While stirring and momentous changes were taking place in the administra- tive side of the New Deal, they have been interested in politics and petty patronage at home. THE SENATE
 Titular boss on the democratic side is bull-voiced, trigger-tem- pered, conservative Joe Robin son, of Arkansas, widely unpop- ular but holding fast to his com mand through weight of tradi- tion. Between Joe and the New Deal there is little in common except the supreme court. Joe is ambitious. And he is giving the president 100 per cent cooper ation until the next supreme court vacancy occurs.
 The "braIns'' of the democratic leadership in the senate is the uarty's wiry, nimble- witted whip Jimmy Byrnes, of South Caro-

promised the first week of legislating. Some legislators are not looking beyond this matter. They consider it the alpha and omega of the term. However, they are the ones who are not interested in the outcome of Uncle Sam's control over the gold of the nation. The monetary pro- gram was cut short when Congress re- cessed last year. It begins anew now with the full weight of the Roosevelt ad- ministration massed to protect national control of gold and remonetization of silver. What follows?

Professor Fred Fairchild of Yale Uni versity for seven years has been studying taxation of forest lands in the United States. He is now convinced that no spe- cial form of taxation can be devised that will remove the burden of taxation from the owner of extensive forest lands. He does recommend, though, in some in- stances improvement of assessment lists. To effect real reform in such taxation it would be necessary, he claims, to de- crease or check expenditures of local and state governments. And isn't this just what we have shouted from our citadel these many weary months. Cut down the cost of your government and your taxes will follow example. Naturally taxes, that are included in the category of prop erty taxes, aren't going to get any lower while the cost of maintaining our govern ment is increasing every month. Once you start in the opposite direction the taxes will take care of themselves.

Recent controversy over awarding of a fee to bank receiver in Bridgeport has revived the ill-feeling that smouldered in state circles throughout recent months. There has long been resentment among bank depositors, especially those of closed banks, over the sums allowed receivers for their conduct Of the business. In the Bridgeport incident the receiver peti- toned for $22,000 and received $7,000 This is at rate of $50 day. We recall that Hartford had similar experience some months ago, when the judge refused to allow the sum asked by the receiver. Opinion seems to be divided evenly on the subject There are lawyers who support the claims of their brother members in demanding heavy fees for their adminis- tration of the affairs of bank or any other business, which is being conducted while going through the process of reor- ganization, bankruptcy, etc. There are others who take the attitude that such fees are Killings. We presume that one of these days a test case will be carried as far as the Supreme Court of Errors and measuring stick set up which will guide all future receiverships with particular regard to estimating fees.

Organizing Peace

It may be literally true, as President Roosevelt believes, that 90 per cent of the people of the world today want peace and are willing to take action to assure it, while only 10 per cent are still inclined to follow the leadership that would lead them into war for territorial expansion. It is probably true, as he argues, that it is old-fashioned statesmen and soldiers, rather than popular desire, that start wars.
 So MT Roosevelt apparently is starting to appeal over the heads of the statesmen, to the people-the common masses every where-somewha as President Wilson did at the end of the World War. And he may get big response. For though peo- pie are not so close now to the horrors and miseries of war as they were in 1919, still they have suffered much ever since from the effects of that war, and there is grow ing inclination to accept peace rather than war as normal, and there are more effec tive means than ever before of reaching popular masses everywhere.
 MT Roosevelt reneWs his triple propo- sal made last summer, for gradual elim!- nation of weapons of offense, retaining only defensive works and weapons; pledges from every nation not to let it's armed forces enter any other country; and this agreement to become effective when all nations have signed it. Most Americans will probably agree with this program. But there is less faith in trea- ties today than there was before Japan ran amuck and Hitler began breathing fire and smoke. Hard-headed Americans will want to know how treaties are going to be enforced, even when signed by everybody. And old-fashioned Americans will probably object, as usual, to our as- suming any obligation of enforcement.

Berlin Letter

Berlin (UP)-Bavaria's famous brewers are literally crying into their bere. It is a most unusual and distressing situation.
 For years the jovial braumeist- CTS of Munich have catered to a clientele measured only by their own ability to produce Hofbraeu, l. W n braeu, Augustinerbraeu, Spatenbraeu and the others. Recently, however, taves and depression have eaten into the profits. With the dawn of 1883 came the promise of a boom. Not only did things look better at home, but America was re-enter- ing the lists.
 When beer was legalized by | congress, Bavaria 1eaped into the breach with all the joy of a re- turning prodigal. A mellow gur- gle filled the holds of express l steamers as they rushed for the new market. In June, more than 27 per cent of Germany's beer exports went to the United States. But the American thirst turned in other directions. Freight, stor- age and prohibitive import duties raised the price of German brew to twic or three times that of domestic, and the Munich flood l westward has slowed to a mere dribble, .76 per cent of the total export. At home as well. the Bavarian product has been hit. People who | find more money in their pockets are using 1t for purchases they
 have been unable to make in the
 past two or three years. Even in
 such temples of tipple as the Hof-
 braeuhaus in Munich, there is a 1 decline.
 Six-liter men are scarcer and l scarcer, and the proverbial eight | or ten-liter man, whose name once
 was legion, is fast becoming a landmark.
 The net result Is decline over
 even the DOT year of 1882, and
 Bavaria's brewers are sad and dis
 illusioned men.
