 Collector

Berlin (UP).-Radically differ ent in temperament, sometimes differing in points of view, Chan cellor Adolf Hitler and Prussfan Premier Hermann Goering also have divergent tastes in hobbies.
 Goering collects lions. Hitler, on the other hand, collects plants.
 About a year ago, Goering re- ceived a lion cub from the Leipzig Zoo, Caesar, as 1t was called, was as amiab1e as 1t was hungry; it accompanied its master every whede and behaved excellently. Later, however, Caesar became more and nor unsatisfactory as pet. He grew disquietingly. and his gentle purr gave way to sinis- ter grows.

 Shameless For Crash
Public Utilities Commission Holds Collision Unavoid=
 able-Eeven Persons Injured in Mishap

was passing through the Willow West Main street intersection just as the car operated by Sullivan came to that corner.
 Sunday Morning Crash
 The accident took place on the morning of February 4. A trolley car with Sullivan as motorman was coming down Willow street. It went out of control shortly below Hillside avenue and despite all ef- forts to stop it kept speeding down the hill. Sullivan applied emer- gency brakes and even put the car into reverse but to no avail.
 At a speed of about 30 miles an hour the car swung into the intersection, there striking a car eastbound on West Main street. Op- orator William Froe of the sec ond car tried to avoid the acci- dent but the Willow street car was too near for him to avoid it. The two cars were badly damaged and eleven persons were injured.
 Commissions Report
 A portion of MT Wadham's re- port follows:
 The brakes on car No. 3136 were in good condition before the accident. The air brake pipes were broken in the collision and brakes were found set after the accident. The controller handle was in an "off" position, the re- verse handle was forward and the air brake handle in neutral position when inspected after the accident. Due to consider able damage, caused by the col- lision, it was impossible to de- termine. however, the. position of these handles just before and at the time of accident. The in- spection of the wheels at the car flat spots on the wheels which car sliding on account of locked wheels just before the collision.
 Slippery Rails
 About 10:52 a. m. the day Of the accident the starter, sta- toned at Exchange Place in Wa terbury, had received com plaint of slippery track condt- tions on Willow street and had ordered the sand car up Willow street about II a. m. This car had reached a point part way up the hill when the operator of tho sand car saw Sullivan's car pass southerly on Willow street, travel ing at a speed which he thought somewhat fast for Sullivan. He did not, at the time, however feel sufficiently concerned as to the speed of the car to watch its movements down the hill but later, after hearing of the acci- dent, stated that he thought the car was travelling at faster than usual speed. However, the track on which Sullivan's car was be- ing operated had not been sanded previous to the accident.
 In my opinion, this accident was due to a combination of circumstances, no one of which. by itself, would probably have caused the accident; the slip pery rails; the locked wheels; and the fact that the westbound car was crossing at the exact time that the Willow street car reached the intersection were. in my opinion, all factors con- tributing to the accident, mak- ing 1t practically unavoidable.
 Careful Operation
 The operating conditions on Willow street hill are we'll known to the company and the fact that numerous trips are made up and down the grade daily without accident attest to the arrangements careful operation of the company's plant and equipment and I have no sug- gestions to make.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-03-16

A combination of circumstances was responsible for the Willow street trolley crash of February which gave injuries to several per- sons and no blame can be at- tached to the operators involved or to the Connecticut company, ac- cording to the public utility com missions official finding.
 In his report to the commission, transportation engineer Joseph Wadhams praised the courage of Operator Thomas Sullivan in at- tempting to stop the accident and in remaining at his post all dur ing the dangerous slide down the Willow street grade. MT Wad- hams placed the responsibility for the accident on the slippery rails, iced wheels and the fact that a car

FACTS ON PWA
ARE DISTORTED,
CHARGES ICKES
Indiana Will Benefit More
Than Figures Reveal,
SAYS Director.

Distortion of the real picture of
PWA activity in Indiana has been
presented to the public, Harold l..
Ickes, public works administrator,
declared today in a letter to Albert
H. Flnkle, state engineer.
Indiana will benefit from the PWA
program far more than previous
figures reveal, Mr.. Ickes said.
Although details of the non-fed
eral allotments have been presented
to the public, a great deal more of
the S3,300,000,000 PWA fund has
been allotted to this state than in
dicated by the local PWA office, the
administrator asserted.
Through total federal and nom
federal allotments, the state directly
will benefit to the extent of S20,-
100000. In addition, Indiana will
share in the fund of slips 100000
established for special projects, he
said.
Among the non-federal allotments
awarded the state, Mr. Ickes cited
S13,125,O0O fund, part of which
went for highway construction.
Loans to railroad companies bene-
fit Indiana directly to the extent of
S11 ,518,000 he said.
Other governmental agencies have
poured money into the state in
directly, he declared. This money
has aided in putting people back to
work and in increasing purchasing
power, he said.

letters and petitions signed by

legislation provides. When the
vote is taken, Representative
Boehne also will administer a swift
kick to this organized minority.
He believes, as does President
Roosevelt, that the federal gov
eminent must regulate the stock
market.
MORE than any other Hoosler

Boehne enjoys the personal
friendship of President Roosevelt.

After the last bonus vote, Mr..
Boehne was sick at heart because
of what he considered the DO

that their own reelection is more

He contended that the NRA is
unconstitutional because the delega-

labor board, he argued the act did
not delegate to the President the
right to create a body with such
powers.

Upon every subsequent vote. up

voted against the drys. He was
pleased and little surprised at the
overwhelming Endorsement that his
constituents gave to his stand.
Another test came in the summer
of 1882, on the Patman-Thomas
veterans bonus bill The threaten
ing bonus army" was in Washing
ton. The Republicans were IN
power. The bonus was something
for them to worry about. Represen-
tative Boehne and the other Dem
ocrats had a good chance to play
politics.
Most of the Hoosier Democratic
took advantage of it.
But Bill Boehne voted against the
bonus. Thus he was able to be con-
sistent when he voted against the
bonus again. a few weeks ago, back
ing up a Democratic President.
II REPRESENTATIVE BOEHNE

that marked the beginning Of the
Roosevelt administration, and he
is the only Indiana congressman
who has not since voted for any

he doesn't seem to care. He is

two years in the army in the

he been in Washington, Mr..

tain the President, and would have

later to Bill Boehne by Harry
Garfield, then the senior Hoo
sier Democratic congressman.
1t is advice that Bill Boehne
has needed. He has yet to make
his first speech from the house
floor.
Thirty mine years old and now
serving his second term, Repre-
sentative Boehne is in point of
years and in point of service the
youngest member of the ways and
means committee, the most pow
erful committee in the house, the
committee which originates all
tax and tariff legislation.
In the handling of this years
revenue bill, Representative
Boehne crossed with another Or
gained minority-the farm lobby
which succeeded in placing in the
bill an excise tax on cocoanut oil.
Mr.. Boehne voting against it.
It's a tariff against the Phil
ippines, and has nc place in a
revenue bill" said Representative
Boehne. That same position was
taken later by President Roose-
welt.
CHORT, chubby, with boyish
~ face and square horn-rimmed
spectacles, Bill Boehne spends
his mornings at his office dictat-
ing answers to letters from his
constituents. In the afternoons,
If there is legislation to be at
tended to and particularly if a
party measure is before the house,
Representative Boehne can be
found in the house chamber. But
if the day is given over to mere
speechmaking, he finds other
things to do.
Mr.. Boehne is inherently con-
sentative. But he can get just
as indignant at the ggeed of spe-
cial interests as he can at the
terrorism OF mass pressure. De-
votedly regular, he is slated for
rapid promotion in the house
party organization.
Two opponents contest his re-
nomination. He is not worried.
He plans only two primary
speeches. The voters can take
him or leave him.
