Notice the Similarity

How many people noticed any similar ity between the torrential downpour that enveloped Waterbury in sheet of rain Saturday night and last February's bliz- gard. Both came out of the northeast. Peo- pie with weather nose were quick to note this and make notes of comparison That's about the only point of similarity, of, course, save for the damage inflicted by both which was considerable.
 Not in recent years has rainstorm struck Waterbury with t;le fury of that of Saturday night, We have had heavy show ers. probably reaching just as heavy a

The last congress did many things of which there is general approval, many for which it was criticized. How many people are aware that some citizens of this state will benefit by terms of the Wheeler Howard act. It guarantees certain rights and an amount of protection to Indians. But it makes certain definition of an In- dian, so that the 162 claimed for this state may not be eligible for benefits un der the new law. A survey will be made soon to determine those to receive the laws benefit and those beyond it.

Washington, Sept. 11-Mys- tery surrounds the New Deal decision to send Rexford Guy Tugwell abroad.
 So far as can be ascertained no pressing agricultural prob- lens await the studious mind of Professor Tugwell in Europe. Russia is suffering from a drought-offers no laboratory regarding crop reduction. The Swiss goat milk crop is not like ly to be transplanted to the United States. And the question of milking sows-latest pet pro- gram of the AAA-has not yet taken root, in Europe.
 Furthermore, Doctor Tugwell is not in need of vacation. He has just returned from a long junket through the Midwest and from rest from the sagricul- ture departments routine.
 One reasonable conjecture for the European trip is that the administration would like to get Tugwellian theorism out of the public mind for a while. With the congressional camapign ap- preaching it's climax and the att tack on Brain Trust theories becoming more intense, some strategists think 1t would be eX- cellent to have the No. 1 Brain Truster out of the picture.
 Hence the exit.
 MONUMENT CLEANSING
 The government faces loss of weeks and $11,O00 in doing the 'face-lifting" job on the Washington Monument.
 Nine weeks have passed since the original date set for starting, the first bidder having thrown up the job to firm whose fig urc ise $11,O00 higher.
 Cause of the delay is the haz- ards of erecting scaffold against the bare face of the mar ble, foot by foot, to the height of 555 feet. Cost of insuring workmen in this dizzy job proved to be too much for the Archer Iron Works under their bid of $50,000. Now a Cleveland firm, Alexander Howis, Inc, un- uerldheS to uo IL ioi @o1,VVV' The government hopes to pass this increase on to the surety company which guaranteed the original low bid.

Can Talk to Good Whites
I'VE are happy to have these
high-elass, cultured. dignified. ed
ucated and refined white people on
this platform. We are not afraid
to talk to the best white people In
the South. We can tell the whole
truth when we are face to face
with such cultured citizens as we
have here today; It is up to you
to set that thoughtless group Of
your people right along the lines
of common humanity.
No Social Equality
THE colored man does not want
any social equality; he doesn't ev-
en- dream Of it, and If I felt that
in this great crowd of colored peo-
pie who have gathered here today,
if any one of them wanted social
equality, would feel like taking
him across my lap and applying
the cat-o'-nine-tails.
1.-THE colored man does not and
never did want social equality; it's
the other fellow. Why are we sur
rounded by all these mulattoes
here today? You know that II
certainly is not because Of the col
ored man jumping the fence-but
others.
Social Justice
what the colored person does
want is social justice; he wants
equal pay for equal work done. II
I do the same kind of work and
do as well as the other man,
ought to receive the same kind OF
pay the other man receives.
I'm not a Communist. I would
not belong. to any organization
that would undermine and destroy
the constitution of the United
States. The American government
is a sacred institution, and I will
never say or do anything that
would bring shame and disgrace
upon the stars and stripes"
