CONSTITUTION
FOR AUSTRIA
IS COMPLETED
Will Provide Strong Fed
eral Council With Gen.
tralized Power
By ROBERT H. BEST
United Press Staff Correspondent

VIENNA, Austria, April 2l.-
(UP).-Austria's new constitu-
ton, designed to convert the re-
public into an Italian-Fascist
state, has been completed and Will
be promulgated shortly, 1t mas
been learned here. The constitu-
ton provides for strong centra',
ization of power in a federal
council, composed Of cultural ecu
nomic and so-called inter1state
councils - the new legislative
bodies chosen from among 'hese
classes of the people. -. eou
The constitution provides 1or +
an electoral college composed Oh
the MAYORS throughout Austria
who are to elect a federal presl-
dent from three candidates select
ed and submitted to the college
bv the federal council.
The president in turn is to ap-
point the state governors, the
United Press was informed, these
to be recommended by he ne
TONS chancellor from candidates
which the state councils are TO
submit to the chancellor.
The details of the constitution
the more far-reaching change
in Austria's government since the
establishment of the republic af-
ter the World war have not been
made public. Further cabinet
meetings under Chancellor Engel-
bert Dollfuss are necessary to de-
eide on how and when it will be
promulgated.
Rumors persisted that Dollfuss
would submit his cabinets resig-
nation this weekend, to permit
reorganization of the government
prior to PRONUNCIATION of the con-
stitution, under consideration for
months.
The state governors during the
new constitution are to be subject
to recall at the presidential pleas
ure, or at the request of the In
,terstate councils.
Subject to the approval of the
chancellor, the state governors
are to appoint a series of district
commissions. And subject to the
approval or possible recall by the
district commissioners, the NUM-
cipal councils will elect their may
ors throughout the land.
1t was also reliably learned that
all these council in turn will be
elected by the various so-calied
"staende," or guild, chambers IN
the major "staende."
Reliable reports said that the
new constitution viii repeal the
anti-Hapsburg family laws-the
monarchial dynasty in Austria
and Hungary for generations-ln
principle, but before a Hapsburg
can return to Austria, the new
federal council must repeal laws
enacted by the parliament under
the republic, and prior to the es.
tablishment of this "staende"
state, in which the various phases
of society are to be supreme.
Rumors have been persistent,
though unconfrmed. lately that
Young Archduke Otto Won Haps-
burg, pretender to the throne, is
planning a coup d'etat in Austria,
aided by his illustrious mother,
the former Empress Zita. They
are now living in exile, in Bel
gium.

Start On Youths

It is a long distance from big city underworld gang to one of the forest camps of the CCC. But a nation that IS plagued by gangs and wonders what on earth it ever is going to do about them could do worse than study the connection between the two. The other day U. 5. army officer, Captain Thomas E. May, finished a six-month tour of duty with the CCC and told of his experiences m that outfit with certain budding gang sters from New York.
 Captain Mays camp had more than it's share of tough young mugs from the New York East Side Sometimes, the captain admits, he felt that the New York welfare organizations that enrolled some of his young foresters must have sent us most of their problem cases" Some of the lads even tried to organize racket in the camp itself, forcing companions to pay them for protection; one youngster wrote proudly to his mother, telling about it.
 But eventually the captain got the boys strengthened out He separated the young racketeers and sent the individuals to other camps, where they could escape from association with their own kind; .and he was amazed to see how quickly these hardboiled young street bullies turned into honest, decent, hard working, and ambitious specimens of healthy young manhood. "They never have had much of chance" he says. "They hardly know anything about civilized living. But T never saw a group more eager to do the right thing or more willing to follow right example,
 Now there Is enough of moral in this little story to fill book. Nothing could show more clearly how the modern under world gang is a product of society as a whole The lads who go into the gang are forced in by environment. Charge the environment, give them a chance to earn 'an honest living in decent surroundings, pat them in an atmosphere where that kind of endeavor is appreciated - and, presto they abruptly cease to be the kind of material gangs are made of.
 If it taught us no more than that, the forest army project would be worth every dime it cost We simply do not need to have gangs. The lads who grow up to be hired killers are not irredeemably vicious. Society can make useful Americans of them if it cares to make the effort and spend the money. Reformers and sociolo- gists have been saying that for years, and we have scoffed and said that was impractical theoriZing. Well - it works. If we have half the sense we think we have, we shall go ahead and make it work some more.

No Sessions Coming

There'll be no special sessions of the Legislature in Connecticut while Governor Cross rules. That fact was established beyond doubt this week when he refused to acceed to the requests of several diff ferent groups. He declared that he could not call a special session to make Home Loan Corporation bonds a legal invest ment nor could he find in the pleas of the hotel owners, restaurantmen or the State Retail Liquor Association sufficient cvl- dence of pressing demand for emer- gency legislation. And that, to our way of thinking, ends it right there.
 We have personally applauded the gov ernor on many an occasion for withstand ing the demands for special sessions We still think he is right in refusing to do as asked. Some two years ago, shortly after Governor Cross went into office, he was asked to call the Legislature back into session to do something for, cities and towns financially embarrassed by unex- pected relief demands. He refused to do so and nothing happened. Even when the 1883 Legislature did assemble we failed to notice any unusual demands from the cities and towns
 We will admit that the plight of the hotels and restaurants of the sate is one to be pitied. In wet state that refused to ratify the 18th amendment it does seem odd that such establishments can sell nothing stronger than beer or wine. So far as we can see the status of hotel under our liquor contro lact is no different than that of tavern. We presume leg islative action would be necessary 10 make the necessary change, hence we ad- init we weakened in our stand against special sessions some weeks ago. We do think that the hotels and restaurants of the state deserve better fate than they received. Other than that we stick to the governor. It's going to cost him pres tige next fall and if nominated for public office a good many votes

that the Coast Guard antedates the Navy by nine full years. It was established, so we learned, upon the recommendation of Alexander Hamilton and it's first commits sion was given by George Washington.
 In no sense of the word IS the Coast Guard a war machine. Its purpose IS solely to protect lives and property and no finer record has been established in any branch of our service than that of the Coast Guard. It is this fine record extending back over so many years that probably has caused even President Roosevelt to pause ere committing the Coast Guard to the jurisdiction of the Navy Department. We are more con- vinced than ever that the move taken solely in the interest of economy we pre-. sume, is not the wisest.
 If it were an established fact that the work of the Coast Guard was at an end then we might suggest it be combined with the Navy, but so far as we can see it is just entering new and bright era. It has just arrived at the point where it's service is being brought up to an efficient standard. Funds have provided new and modern equipment. A Coast Guard Acad- emy, where officers and men will be trained is now in operation. We i'll Connecticut should be justly proud of this $8,500,000 school at New London. We should fight for it's retention solely as a training quarters for prospective Coast Guard men. Such service as the Coast Guard renders the nation certainly should not be buried in the war chest of the Navy.

HISTORY

The early history of adjoining Naugatuck to the south and the old Hop Brook and Middlebury localities was of equal interest. The main road out of Waterbury to Middlcbury was over West Side Hill, named so in a grant made to Samuel Barnes between the years 1730-33. To the right of West Side Hill was Bruant's Hill, and beyond Tamarack Swamp WIS Richards Hill. Three Mile Hill was mentioned as early us 1720. Two and q Half Mile Hill in the vicinity of Cross Gaylord's Brook was the boundary line between Waterbury and Middlebury. Early in our history Middlebury was known as Bedlam.
 The ancient road to Woodbury was mentioned as early as 1887. Hop Swamp was first mentioned in 1887, Ephraim Bissell or Dr James Porter the first settlers there. Dr Porter settled at Hop Swamp in about the year 1725, and his house was at the foot of Bissell hill least of Three Mile HilD, and west of the Hop Swamp schoolhouse. Lat CT, when this house was taken down, q new house was built hy the Boughton brothers. Ephraim Bisselfs house was also on Hop Swamp. The last of the Bissell family to live on the hill was Eu- nice Webb.

A Book a Day by BRUCE CATION
Three New Books For Mystery Fans

A survey of the end-of- the-year mystery stories reveals a handful that might give you some enter tainment.
 The best of them, perhaps, is Henry C. Becks Death by Clue" (Dgtton: $2). It has to do with a gent who is killed in lonely house in New Jersey. Interested in solving the murder are a county detective, a newspaper reporter, and q high-church Episcopalian rector.
 The murder itself is an ingenious affair--a detective story, of all things, is tho lethal weapon!-and the story is worked out logically and with the proper amount of suspense.
 MT Beck can do what few mys- tcry story writers seem able to do present reporters and cops who talk and act the way real report CTS and real cops talk and act. All of which helps to make Death by Clue" entertaining.
 Then there's "The Bowstring Murders" by Carr Dickson (Mor- row: $2), which is of the wild and woozy school. A highly eccentric English nobleman is found stran- gled amid his collection of old armor in his ruinous castle on the English seacoast, charming young gal is suspected, and the guilty party is nabbled by a pri- vate detective who can't work un- less he's full of brandy-which is an idea. at that. The yarn is dig zy. but somehow convincing.
 "Mr Fortune Wonders" by H. C. Bailey (Crime Club: $2), is q series Of short stories about htis delight ful English detective whose favor ite oath is the expression, My only aunt" They are flrst-rate stories, too, and at least couple are splendidly eerie and shuddery. If you like your mysteries in short doses. you ought to go for this in A. big way.

Washington, Jan 5.-The most absorbing issue before the Roose- welt administration as Congress swings into action, is the debate over Recovery and Reconstruc- tion.
 To the casual observer these two might appear synonomous. Actually a bitter internal feud is being staged within the Roose- welt official family as to whether Recovery or Reconstruction shall be the administrations goal. THE DIFFERENCE
 Recovery, according to the language of the Brain Trust, Is the progress of business toward the old days of prosperity under Calvin Coolidge, with the profit system remaining unchanged. Reconstruction, on the other hand, is the reform of the econ omic and social system by the scaling down of profits, the sca1- ing up of wages, and the creation of both government and con- sumer SIS virtual partners in in- duStry.
 There was day, immediately after March 4, when Business was ready, even anxious for such reforms. It welcomed Recon- struction. But with every inch of Recovery made since then, Business has become more adamant against Reconstruction, moro favorable for unadulterafed Recovery.
 PESSIMISTIC OPTIMISM
 During the Christmas holi- days, President Roosebelt had figures submitted to him which brought this difference nearer a head. The figures were not made public, but they showed very material gains in all the consumers industries, with some gains in the heavy industries.
 The report was extremely en- couraging to the Recovery adyo- catcs, but not to the RccOnstruc- ton rOoters. The latter's thesis is that unless Recovery is ac- cOmpanied by very careful ecOn- Omic planning. the cycle of in- dustry eventually will set a whirIwind pace, then come to an abrupt stop, with another har- rowing depression.
 Leaders of the Reconstruc- ton school are Secretary Wal lace, his assistant, Professor Rex Tugwcll, Harry Hopkins, CWA administrator, Jerome Frank, general counsel of the AAA, and Dr Mordicai Ezekiel, agricultural ecopomic adviser.
 FOOD CODE
 Illustrative of their Rconstruc- tion views was their stand on the food industries code. They planned system of food inspec- tion for the protection of the housewife. This was to be run by the Bureau of Standards, which was to be made the pro- tector of the consuming public, instead of the laboratory of in- dustry, as to-day.
 At the head of the group op- posing Reconstruction is Gen. eral Hugh Johnson. He declined to provide for inspection in the food industries code, said this was up to Congress. Johnson also claims he is out to aid In- dustrial Recovery, not Recon- struction. To this end his code authorities have had no repre- sentatives of labor or the con- sumer, but only industry. Even the government representative on the code authority is allowed no vote.
 BATTLE LINES
 This is close to the plan pro- posed by Gerard Swopc of the General Electric company, plan which Johnson vetoed at the time. Reconstructionists vigorously oppose this. They

It was stated that the check tax was being dropped along with other nuisance taxes, such as the gasoline tax. Unfortunately for those of us who make out checks the tax remains with US awhile longer.
