The Intent Is Clear

The intent of the Connecticut Liquor Control Act is perfectly clear, even if the wording is not there. Such in few words was the ruling handed down by the high est court in our state, the Supreme Court of Errors, late Tuesday afternoon. It clarifies a situation that was slightly muddled by the fact that many leading law authorities were declaring that under our liquor statutes a person could seH without securing a permit. This so ob- viously defeats the purpose ot the acC that wholesale abuses would result II IL were countenanced, declared Chief Justice William M. Maltbie in the decision which was written by him.
 There are number of cases pending in various cities throughout the state where liquor dispensers have been held for selling without the necessary permits. The Supreme Court finding now allows the law to proceed with it's prosecution on the grounds that the accused engaged in liuuor traffic without permits. Most of the offenders will be fined since they are first offenses. The maximum penalty Is S2OO fine. As Chief Justice Maltbie points out, if it were possible to sell iiuuor without a permit what would pre- vent the man who applied for permit and was denied one opening up shop and engaging in business regardless of the liuuor board ruling against him.
 There seems to be an opinion that this court ruling will obviate all necessity of a special sesison of the Legislature. That's not taking into consideration the consti- tutional court that sits at Hartford today to decide the merits of claims advanced by package store owners. They object to the fact that druggists are allowed to sell in smaller quantities and at different hours than the package stores. The fed eral district court for Connecticut has helped them by issuing restraining order preventing official interference with package stores selling in small quantities or during hours other than those pre- scribed by their permit
 Today the constitutional court, the third ever assembled in this state, will pass on the liquor control act. From it's rulings may come need to call special legisla- tive session. We sincerely hope not, be- cause we feel as does Governor Cross that a special session at this time would not be of practical value. Should it be neces- sary, though, to make our liquor law con- stitutional, of course, we'd have no re- course but to approve of the special ses- sion. That remains for the constitutional court to decide.

Is It a Defeat?

The overriding of the presidential veto of the independent offices appropriation bill with it's increased benefits for veter- ans is being hailed as the first defeat administered to President Franklin D. Roosevelt by Congress. We really won- der if it is defeat. To our way of think ing the President emerges from this issue a bigger figure than ever. No one can read his inspiring veto message and fail to see the calibre of the man who con- posed it nor comprehend the principles which guided him in framing what he must have known would inspire revolt In the national legislative body.
 From the above it is apparent that we are in sympathy with the President. We are. We don't believe that he has lost much prestige throughout the nation by refusing to restore federal salaries nor to give back to the veterans benefits they formerly received. What does worry us, though, is what Congress is going to do now that it has displayed such magnan- imous spirit. Of course the reason is ap- parent. This is election year and election years are to be feared if you are mem Der of Congress whose term expires Evi- dently there were sufficient members of the Senate who thought well enough ot the appropriations bill as political lever.
 We don't like to think that all our New England, and particularly Connecticut, legislators were for the bonus and restor- ation of federal pay cuts. It is no source of pride, we know, to the republican party that it's members lined up almost unan- imously to oppose the President. Perhaps Congress considers it the thing to do - bring MT Roosevelt up short in hls tor" ward march. It has acquiesced in every. thing he said and did up to now. We pre- sume a halt had to be called at some point. It is rather unfortunate that the presl- dential veto of an eXtravagant bill was the starting point of the revolt.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-03-29

In the end the fight was smeaFcd over the front pages but only after Wallace won.
 Peek departed to become pres idential adviser on foreign trade, the codes he wanted to jam through were tossed back to the MIRA, and the Wallace-Tugwell- Ezekiel theory of boosting farm prices by restricting farm output obtained undisputed sway.
 To what extent this hazardou experiment. will produce real re- suits, only time will tell. Wallace frankly says he does not know. He admits experimentation. Moreover, he candidly warns that the United States must choose between high tariff na- , tionalism and low tariff interna- tiona'.sm
 PERSONALITIES
 A philosopher by nature, shyly hiding a deep poetic strain, Wal lace dislikes the hurly-burly of the political arena. Personal strife is even more distasteful. It was for this reason that the Peek break was so long in developing. Wallace dreads inflicting pain, and has quietly suffered the pres ence of several assistants who are out of step but whom he has not the heart to dismiss.
 That is a weakness, but it does not mean Wallace lacks courage. Behind his shy smile is will of steel. His father, secretary of ag- riculture under Harding, was the one member of .hat cabinet who dared stand up against Her. bert Hoover, and his son can and does fight when there is no other way out. But he would much rather settle. disputes by reason and discussion.
 "Tscx" TugweIl is an original brain truster. Slender romantic ally handsome, he could easily be a social lion. But he Is too busy. A brilliant economist, author of many tonnes on business and in- dustry, Tugwell has no more taste for the puffy inanities of society than for the noisy battle of politics. Because of his forth right opinions, especially his au- thorship of the drastic food and drug bill. Tugwell has been under a barrage of criticism. Big busi- ness has tried to hang the red label on him. Tugwell Is not a communist. not even a socialist. His radicalism ends with belief that every man should have a home and garden.
 "Zeke," as MOrdccai Ezekiel is known to his colleagues, also is shy and interpretive. AL though frail of build. he is tre- mendous worker and a genius at mathematics. By the use of log arithms he has evolved a systen called "hogarithms" on Capitol Hill-of forecasting the output of hogs. Ezekiel had been in govern ment service as agricultural sta- tistician for many years before Wallace took office.

 My Dear Sir: |,

 Month after month the directors have had the discouraging job of providing a plan for adequate care of tho sick and a modest amount of health education for those des- perately in need of 1t, from money provided by civic spirited citizens of Waterbury. Month after month, by shrinking here and cutting there. by squeezing out ideas of improvement and looping off need- ed provisions of already estab- Iished worth they have tried to work within the budget provided by these contributions, and have failed. For two years they have been dipping into a comparatively small fund reserved for emergen- cies. They have not taken great deal. to be, sure, but they have taken some.

BY PAUL HARRISON

New York.-Soul-saving is highly competitive business in liar lem. And there's great fame and wealth to be won by a spiritual leader with just the right, qualities of fervor, mysticism and apprccia- tion of material comforts. E
 In times such as these free dinner of "holy" chicken may win more converts than a thousand prayers.
 There was, for example, the Rev Dr. George Wilson Becton. founder of the Worlds Gospel Feast Party, evangelist extraord1- nary, champion of effeminate men. owner of 75 suits of clothes and four motor cars, employer Of an eight-piece bnad and three pia- nists, "consecrator" (and connsca- tor) of literally millions of dimes. He was slain last May-like any ordinary racketeer.
 Heaven" in Harlem
 And now there's the Rev Dr. "Father" Major J. Divine, whose real name is George Baker and who prepared for the pulpit by conducting a Negro employment bureau. He is less than five feet tall. but has tongue that moves multitudcs. Followers be- lieye he is a naturalization of God; also that by accepting his teachings they become exempt from certain social, biological and economic realities of life. They give up their home life and sur render their possessions to become "angels" in Divine's cosmos, and each assumes a special name, such as Faithful, True Love, Peaceful, Boquet or Celestial.
 Before the "Kingdom of Hcav- en No. r was moved to a large tenement on the edge of Harlem's Spanish quarter, the diminutive leader had been arrested several times for disturbing the peace since the Glory-Be to -Father-Di7 vine meetings. complete with meals, preaching and the tcsti. mony of sinners, sometimes lasted as long as IS hours. He always paid his fines from huge rolls .of currency which he maintains he receives directly from God. His preaching is a rambling sort o1 gibberish, like this:
 saThe turin asbccn birth the Holy Spirit. It is not con- ed out by q materializatIon Of | fined to person, but to the
 sOnsIlip of God. It Is brought
 into expression and manifest
 ed by one, even so Is the fa-

 and many will be happy.
