DR GREGG FAVORS RIGID CENSORSHIP
Talks on Movies, Bur lesque in Subject, ''The
 Church and Theater''

The present movement to clean up motion pictures will only result in a temporary obstruction to im-, moral influences in the theater if more stringent censorship laws are not passed, declared Rev. pr. James E. Gregg, pastor of the First Congregational church, in a sermon yesterday morning. His subject was "The Church and the Theater."
 Dr. Gregg blamed commercial ism and the desire of the produc- CTS to ''give the public what they want" for the situation that caused the church to step in with a check against immortality in the movies. Dr. Gregg said the public usually does not know what 1t wants. He suggested that responsible cen- sorship by persons representing the best in the drama should take the place of the present boards of re- view which were held to be inad- equate by the speaker.
 Dr. Gregg advocated the placing of censorship in the hands of such men as Professor George Pierce Baker, recently retired director of the Yale School of Drama or other such high type persons.
 Dr. Gregg also criticised the bur- lesque show being staged in Wa terbury. He said the advertisement "Burlesque As You Like It" should be resented by every decent citi- zen.

Naugatuck, Oct 22--
 The 18th anniversary of their wedding was celebrated yesterday by MT and Mrs William Karbin of Wod street, The occasion was a < Joyous one and the highly esteem- cd couple received many gifts, one of which was a tremendous bou- quet of chrysanthemums. Friends called throughout the day to ex- press their congratulations.
 A turkey dinner was served and proved delicious. Naugatuck and out-of-town guests were present and fun-making was enjoyed. Songs were rendered including Sweet Old Days" by William Mar butaitis of Union City and one of the novelties of the occasion was the music rendered by Peter and John Ford, old time musicians who often played for the couple at dances in the courting period. A fine tap dance exhibition was rem dered by Joseph Mancini.
 Mir Karbin is part owner of a meat store on South Main street. 1t was his brother who was one of those killed by John Crow sev- eral months ago.
 Those present at the celebra- ton were: MT and Mrs Edward A. Karbin of Waterbury, MT and Mrs Frank Sheronas of New Haven; MT and Mrs John Pri- savage and MT and Mrs August Tear of Waterbury; MT and Mrs William Narbutaitis of Union City; MT and Mrs Charles Erk; MT and Mrs James Grant and daughter Lorraine of Naugatuck; MT and Mrs Robert Lyons and son, Robert of Naugatuck; Joseph Mancini of Union City, Frank Kirby of Union City; Peter and John Ford, Miss Edna Schiethe and MT and Mrs Joseph Sommers of Naugatuck, and MT and Mrs William Karbin.
 Has the warden the power to order the motor patrol dis continued will be the ques- ton asked at the rotest meet ing called tonight by republi- can burgesses in regard to the ac- tion of Warden Sheridan Saturday night in ordering the motor patrol stopped. The meeting is set for 8 o'clock tonight in the borough courtroom.
 Lack of efficiency on the part of the motor patrol is given the req son by Warden Sheridan for his action in ordering it to stop. The borough is quite excited about the action with various factions being formed.
 Warden Sheridan claims / he knows of cases where the patrol members Lave stayed too long in persons houses instead of com pleting their business quickly and continuing on their round. He be- lieves it Is little protection in itself as far as preventing thefts, for he thinks it goes past a house too quickly to cause thief much wor- ".

l tion, Walnut Terrace, and express ing the opinion the patrol was no preventative of crimes in view of the fact it sped by the house too quickly. At that time he asked the warden to assign Q regular police man in that neighborhood. Rumors of other breaks have been reported. It will be recalled that before Warden Sheridan took office he and Chief John Adamson
 of the local police were waging a feud.
 Charged Favoritism
 This was In regard to alleged favoritism on the part of the chief in connection with assignments of certain supernumararies to duty. However, soon after the, warden took office, he apparently came to an agreement on this matter.
 According to the warden, Chief Adamason recently failed to re-, spond to a request of his that he assign U plain clothes man to a sec tion where an apple had been thrown through window. The warden explained his request for a plain clothes man by the statement that policeman in uniform might frighten away the offender and he thinks a non-conspicuous police- man would capture him.
 Chief Adamson instead assigned two uniformed cops, Warden Sher- idan says. This was Thursday night. He did not take any action then but later decided to clamp down on the motor patrol
 Burgesses Opposed
 Now comes the question of whe- ther or not he will have the right to order this discontinued. Repub- lican burgesses claim this is up to the burgesses and the warden and have called the protest meeting for tonight. Henry Zwick. Tracy No ble and Anthony Tangredi are the ones who called the meeting but reports have 1t democratic bur- gesses Victor Burkus and Leo Bro- phy are against the warden's move. If this is so, prospects do not look so bright for the warden. However, Jackie has waged many a battle hitherto and is sure to fight long before giving up.
 Patrolman Anthony Farrar has been shifted to the Spring street section, Walter Lysiewicz has been changed to the Rubber avenue beat and James Cuddy has been assigned to special duty.

The following day the Negro

I proceeded to give him the paper

began to break down. Noticing the
change in him I stopped giving him

action would be. After a short time
he approached me and asked,
Where is the Daily Worker? I

The next day I inserted a leafet
calling upon the food workers to
organize into the Cafeteria Workers
Union. He joined the union, be-
came very active, and brought 3

After the strike he was elected by

Guards in Concord today This
shows to the workers of Concord
that the Cannon Mfg. Co. runs this
city, and the city and county officers
are on the side of the mill owners.
The Governor of North Carolina
said he was for the worker, but the
workers say, just like the G. P.
says: He is a rubber stamp of the
mill-owning class. The G. P. is
learning the workers how to fight
the mill owners and the capitalist
class. Workers of the South have
learned their lessons from the Gas
tonia strike of 1929, that if they get
anything we will have to fight. De-
spite of the top leadership of the
A. F. of L., the workers are putting
up very stiff fight and hope to
close the Kannspois Mill this week,
as this is a very strong hold of the
Cannon Mills.

success. While the check-up is not

used up all their constitutional ben

Shoulder to shoulder, youth and

beginning the march towards U.s.

The Youth Section is a vital Sec

place of our adult comrades in con-
tirfuing to build it. The Youth
Section has pledged to bring 1900
new youth members into our ranks
by January 1st, and to use every
mite of their energy in accomplish
ing this goal.
The youth of today are suffering
from the economic crisis. Some of
them have never had the oppor-
tunity to work for any length of
time. Those who are working are
speeded up and given the lowest
wages. Physically they are weak

need our sick benefits, medical care,

LOW Ell L, Mass.-The Young
Communist League here has done
swell job to bolster up the spirits
Of the strikers. Besides being active
on the picket lines distributing
leaflets, and selling Daily Workers,
they made up a song sheet for the
picket lines and distributed them
Monday morning to the pickets.
The pickets eagerly seized them and
sang our songs all morning and at
their strike meetings.
These song sheets had quite an
effect in breaking down the red
scare campaigns of the reactionary
officials of the textile unions here.
In Lowell there are two unions;
one of them is local of the U. T.
w. which is very small here and
has a small influence due to its
sell-out tactics Of the leaders in the
past. The other union is the Lowell
Textile Workers Protective Union,
which is much larger than the
U.T.W.A. and has a membership Of
5000 and is constantly growing.
This union is controlled by reac-
tionary officials, who are doing
their utmost to split the ranks of
the workers by a red scare" cam
paign. One of these officials, Cote,
the president of the union, admitted
at the strike meeting Tuesday
morning that he had already gone
down to the Police Station twice to
get help from them to stop the &C
tivities of the reds" showing to
