When Barthou explained smilingly

country herself. South Africa, Which

stantial sum for the organization

Australia, in spite of the serious de-
preston and the difficult situation of

for the construction of two new cruis-
ers and the fortification of Port Dar-

principal naval and air base.
A very significant change in the
oath of allegiance of the Italian Off

of taking the oath to the King and

officials have taken the oath to the
government and the King alone; the
word Dynasty has been left out.

complete a fiasco as it has
been forecast were greatly encour-
aged when they read the resolution
proclaiming an embargo on arms and

They interpreted the Presidents move
as a sign that this embargo may be
extended to other nations and thus
help the Geneva Conference to con-
tinue and try to achieve at least

c. O.P. MUST SAVE F..
UNION, M|LLSSAYS.
Former Treasury Head Sees
Definite Steps Toward
Control.

BY the Associated Press.
WHITE PLAINS, N. Y, May 1S.-
Declaring that the Republican party
was born to save the Union," Ogden
l.. Mills, former Secretary of the
Treasury, said today that it must
now 60 forth to battle to save the
principles upon which the Union was
founded"
Mills, faying the "new DEAL" said
he saw disguised in it definite steps
IN a major program looking to the
ultimate setting-up of a system OF
economic planning by the Gov
ernment on Nationwide scale,
accompanied by control of industry
and the regimentation of the Amer
ican people"
Addressing the Association of New
York State Young Republican Clubs,
which cheered predictions of a State
and national comeback by the party,
Mills said:
Revolutionary Changes"
"The time has come to present the
issue fairly and squarely to the Amer
ican people, and to let them decide
whether they desire to sanction a
program which inevitably means
revolutionary changes in our Govern
ment, institutions and civilization.
The people are entitled to have the
issue sharply drawn. They are en-
titled to complete candor from both
sides.
"There must be no repetition of
the 1882 campaign when the Demo-
cratic party made certain specific
pledges, practically all of which have
since been repudiated, while the true
purposes of the present adminiStra-
tion were concealed in obscure and
equivocal language
of the new deal must end in the
destruction of individual liberty, for
individual liberty cannot long survive
the death Of economic freedom"
CITES New Deal Record.
Saying he appropriated the Ian
guage of former Gov Alfred E. Smith,
Mills invited his audience to take a
look at the record"
THE surest way to understand the
Government program and all its i'm
plicationS," he said, "is to turn to the
writings Of the man who undoubtedly
furnished its underlying philosophy
Prof. Rexford G. Tugwen.
He said Tugwell, Assistant Secretary
OF Agriculture, advocates complete
Government control.
''The professor foresees that legal
and administrative difficulties are
likely to prove embarrassing, but he
is equal to the task of overcoming
these Obstacles" said Mills.
I'VE must set up, therefore, he says,
devices of sort to which business
men will at first voluntarily agree,
and which at the same time contain
no threat to the public
Fell for Code Device.
THE amazing thing is that by
setting up the bait of the temporary
suspension of the Sherman act, our
business men fell for the code device
Just as he had foreseen. A resource
tul man, Mr.. Tugwell."
Col. Theodore Roosevelt, jr., presi-
dent Of the National Republican Club,
told the clubs that what the party
needed was new blood"
Without new blood a political
party dies of dry rot" he said. This
is what has been happening to the
Republican party.
mo party can hold the younger
men and women unless it gives them
two things: Clear-cut policies based
on common sense and idealisrn and
the opportunity to take an active part
IN party affairs. We need bold ac-
tion. This Is no time for timid eva
sion."

Doctor Doubts Whether He Ever Will Be Brought
 fO Any Trial

Pottsville, Pa, March 2G-UP) Albert Shinsky, who confessed staying Mrs Susan Mummey be- cause she "bewitched" him, was described by Dr Walter G. Bowers today as insane.
 "I doubt whether he'll ever come to trial" the superintendent of the Schuylkill county hospital for the insane said after an examination.
 "A strong belief in the weird doctrines of the hex is a form of insanity and Shinsky was convinc- ed Mrs Mummey had cast spell over him." he said.
 Dr Bowers was instructed to question Shinsky by court author ities who intimate they would not press murder charges against him if alienists certified he was insane.
 Meantime, dark-eyed Selena Bernstel insisted she would marry the hex slayer on Easter Sunday.
 II love him and l am going to marry him just as we had planned" she said. "He has been happy since he killed Susie. The hex has left him and now he can be free,
 Miss Bernstel explained that she didn't exactly believe in the hex" but that she had no doubt that her sweetheart had been bewitched.
 "Why he wouldn't even kiss me when the spell was on him." she said,

 By being a. state, we would not suffer discrimination. as is no" proposed in the pending sugar leg islation, which vitally affects the entire island.''

Harry A. DcVorken, one of the best known advertising men in Waterbury and Connecticut as a whole, will join the staff of The Democrat on Wednesday. He will take up the position of advertising director of the display department, which will be an addition to the present staff. Considered one of the most capable men in the field, MT DeVorken's appointment to The Democrat staff was the source of much favorable comment through out the city to-day.
 Mir DeVorken comes to The Democrat as probably one of the most widely known advertising men in this section of the country. especially New England. He is per- acquainted with men in the line and business men the east and is con- sidered well qualified for the posi- tion which he is about to assume.
 For ten years MT DeVorken was with the advertising de- partment of the American and Re- publican, but left there about five years ago to become associated with his uncle. l.. M. Segal, gen. eral manager of the Poli-New Eng land theaters. His business career has eveE been connected with the business.

RISK POLICIES ON
 THE PRESIDENT
FinanCiers and Brokers Would Lose If He Didn't
 Complete Term

Chicago, Mar 26-CUP)-Risk policies to insure investors against loss in the event President Roose- welt fails to complete his term in office were offered today by Ameri- can representatives of Lloyd's ltd.
 Jens, Murray & Co.,, said they are receiving a dozen or more in- quries a day from financiers and brokers who contend they will suf- fer great losses if the president fails, for any reason, to fill out his term.
 The policies were offered, it was announced, after a member of the Chicago board of trade said it would raise hob" with his affairs if Roosevelt left the White House. No policies actually have been writ ten yet.
 The life insurance rates on the president is $50 per thousand, slightly more than in regular rates for a person of his age, with a min imum policy of $10.00O.
 Although it was first intended to write only life risks on the, presi- dent the underwriters of Lloyd's in London extended the offer to provide payment without showing of actual loss in the event the pres ident fails for any reason to com plete his term.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-03-26

Efforts of the leadership to send the bill to the president provoked bitter debate in which Senator Bronson Cutting, republican, N. M. criticized the whole proceedings as farce
 Cutting attacked the action of the senate conferees in not making greater efforts to adjust differences affecting veteran benefits.
 The conferees should have got together and arrived at some sort of a compromise" Cutting said, adding action on the supply bill in- dicated a change should be made in the handling of conference matt ters.
 Procedure SnarIed
 Senate procedure was snarled when Senator Frederick Steiwer, republican, Ore, offered counter motion to return the bill to con- ference with an amendment which would serve only to wipe out dis crepancies between two sections of the bill and which would cost the government no more.
 The amendment corrects lan- guage of amendments restoring benefits to direct service connected and presumptive benefits.
 Senator James F. Byrnes asked Steiwer not to insist on his amend ment, which would only throw the veterans section wide open again to amendment on the house floor. Byrnes suggested a resolution later be adopted correcting the language.
 The vote to concur in the house amendments was 48 to 39.
 Veterans benefits were reduced in the house after the senate had approved higher figures.
 The independent offices appro- priation bill, to which veterans amendments are attached, now must go back to the house for con- currence.
