Wings Over Washington
By LEN DE CAUX


ed Uncle Sam, if Congress doesn't OBJ
ject, is going to donate to Haiti some
secondhand rifles and some old shacks
as a high official put it. Repeal of
the Plat Amendment, dealing with
United States supervision over Cuba,
is another big-hearted gesture. And
then there's that self-denying ordin-
ance, the EMBRACE on munitions ship
ments to Bolivia and Paraguay. Why
all this sudden generosity - at a time
when European powers are going blue
in the face shouting "Shylock" over the
war debts?
Cuba shall be free was the title of
a popular - or intended to be popu-
lar song at the time of the Spanish
American war. Since Uncle Sam step
ped into the Spanish shoes as tyrant of
Cuba, enthusiasm for freeing" Cuba
has not been famed by anyone in the
United States except radicals - with
one recent exception.
Not long ago, while looking over
some literature about Cuba in a book
shop, the writer was accosted by a
Negro who asked, apparently out of
a clear sky: "Who is fighting to free
Cuba?" He agreed with an answer
about the most oppressed Cuban mass
es being the staunchest fighters for
Cuban freedom, and workers in the
United States being the allies upon
whom they should be able to rely, but
he said There are a lot of people try
ing to tell us hat only Japan is fight
ing for the Cubans."

Wall Streets shining armor. She Knew
her own weak spots in Korea, Manch-

Britain too is as touchy as a prima

Blanks, which the bankers took for

signed on the dotted line.

IT'S A GREAT SYSTEM
The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-08-02
MIDDLE COURSE
 BEST FOR TEETH
Path Between Brushing School and Diet Theory
 Safest

While dental authorities differ widely as to the causes and means of prevention of tooth decay, there is nevertheless a path down the middle which, if followed, will in most cases prevent loss of teeth by decay, according to Dr. c. R. Sal mons, director of the Division of
 Mouth Hygiene of the State de- partment of Health. in the depart ment's weekly broadcast today. To follow this path of greatest safety one must not only keep the teeth clean by frequent brushing but must also see that the proper toothr
 building foods are included in the
 diet, he said.
 Dr. Salmons explained that one
 schol of authorities clings tenaci- ously to the theory that "the clean tooth does not decay" and insists that careful and of repeated brush ing Is essential to taath preserve toin; and that the other school
 maintains that diet is all important and scoffs at the idea that there IS
 any virtue in the removal or fooo
 particles by the toothbrush. It is highly probable that the truth lies somewhere between these two ex- tremes. he said, so the best course
 is to clean the teeth at least twice daily. and be sure to drink milk eat eggs. green vegetables and fresh fruits, so that the tooth-buildine lime, salts and vitamins are in the diet. If the cleaning does not help in preventing tooth decay. it al
 least helps the appearance of the teeth.
 "So be sure to pack your tooth- brush for your vacation trip and
 make it a new one If your present brush Is more than three months
 old" Dr. Salmons urged. He re- commended a brush with short
 moderately stiff bristles. and sald
 that a mixture of common table salt and baking soda in equal parts mirAt be used in lieu of tooth paste or pwder. In using dental floss Ssf6 should be careful not to in- jure the gums as it snaps into the space between the teeth. A gen. tie massage of the gums with the finger tips twice daily Is an excel lent practice. especially for oidei ] people. the director said.

DUGGAN

One of the feature attractions at the Duggan Playground this week will be the boxing bouts on Friday evening. The card has been well received in past weeks and there is little doubt but what a capacity crowd will turn out for the next show. About ten bouts are offered spectators. and these are usually packed with thrills. Leather flys furiously during each round. The boys box at even and catch weights.
 Those of the residents who en- joy this pastime are invited to be at the recreation grounds on Fri day. Some of the greatest ringmen in the game today received their primary tuition in just such battles. Perhaps a future Worlds champion is in the making among the juven- ile glove pushers in the Brooklyn district.
 The sphagetti eating contest that was scheduled last evening has been postponed until a later date Supervisor Cliff McHale announced that the contest will be held pos sibly on Friday evening.

 New York. Aug. 2- (UP) = Traders practically abandoned the stock market today pending new developments abroad. Prices hucl.,, uated narrowly with volume well under the half-million share marx.
 Opening transactions were light and prices moved in a marrow range around the previous close. The market had been amply pre- pared for the death of the German president, Paul von Hindenburg. and hence the normal announce ment was accepted without a quaim. A decline in the afternoon was followed by rally near the close.
 Foreign markets were not af- fected The Berlin Bourse and the Paris Brouse closed as soon as word came of von Hindenburgh's s death, but the London market re- mained open. On the latter Ger man bonds held steady as did gilt edged securities, while Information al issupes rose in response to yes terday's recovery in New York.
 Commodies were less bouyant than yesterday, but majority made gains. Grains rallied late in the day and closed steady. Cotton eased slightly, but gains were noted in sugar, silver, rubber, silk. cop per, lead and hides. Bonds turned dull with prices irregularly higher featured by utility issues.
 On the decline that preceded the late recovery, a few special issues made rather wide losses but the main list held in narrow range Philip Morris, an issue that recent. ly behaved as if it had pool spon sorship, broke to 28 where it wal of 1-2 points. It later recovered part of the loss. Sterling products touched 60 5-S off 1-S points be. fore meeting support Seaboart Oil, which gained IA points yes terday on declaration of the usua extra, dipper 1 3-S to 25 S-S.

NEW AIR GOLIATH
 BREAKS RECORDS
Col Lindbergh Took the Machine Around the
 Course in Fast Time

Bridgeport, Conn, Aug 2. (UP) The new air Goliath Brazilian Clipper, after brushing aside eight world records for transport sea- planes,s poised to-day for an at- tempt to trim two days from the Miami Buenos Aires run of the Pan American airwayS.
 The giant four motored Sikorsky S-42, with Col Charles A. Lind bergh in charge, roared four times around a 3ll-mile course in test flight yesterday.
 Airline Chief Pilot Edwin c, Mu- sick hurtled the heavily loaded air boat 1,242.S miles at an average speed of 157,5 miles an hour. He said he leashed the four Hornet engines, streamlined into the wide silver wing, within 69 per cent of their 5000 horsepower.
 When it scudded lightly to the Sound it had shattered all trans port seaplane records, held by France and Germany. The Clipper broke altitude load record in two previous test flights
 Two sister ships of the Brazilian Clipper also will go Into service between Miami, Fla. and Buenor Aires. They will bring the South American capital within five and a half days of New York.

SHELTON STORY
 TOLD LDTOCORONER
Witnesses Describe How They Tried to Warn
 Victims of Tragedy

Bridgeport, Conn, Aug. 2-kUP} Failure to heed the warnings of train crew and inability of an engineer to brake his train within 60 feet, caused the death of eight children who were playing cards on the Stevenson division tracks at shelton, July 26, it was testi- fled at a coroner's investigation. Engineer John Kane, Harford, whose train struck the group, told Coroner John J. Phelan late yes- terday he saw the children as he rounded a curve but they were so close 1t was impossible to avoid them. A train passing in the oppo- site direction, he said. presumably deadened the sound of a whistle he blew to attract the attention of two boys on the other side of the curve.
 Ernes B. Stuart, Waterbury, and John l.. Roy, Bridgeport, brakemen on the other train, said they squirted water and gesticluated to warn them of the approaching dan ger but the children failed to com prehend their efforts and one of them threw a stone which narrow ly missed striking Stuart on the head.
 Companions of the victims, with whom they had been swimming in nearby Housatonic River shortly before the tragedy, corroborated the testimony of the train crews. An official finding may be issued later this week.

capacity to 27is per cent of capac- ity. while the country's railroads moved only 614.S64 carloads of freight in the latest reported week in July. against 644,572 cars in the final week of June.
 Other major business indices showed corresponding declines, Bituminous coal output fell from 6,275,0 900 tons in the last week of Juen to 5,S90,0O0 tons late in July: electric power output fell from l. 6SS.211,O00 kilowatt hours to l. 663.77l,000 kilowatt hours and bank clearings dropped from $4.- 4S9,06S.000 to $4,274,250,000.
 The distance business has to move to peak prosperity levels is seen by comparing the foregiong with these indices for the final week of July, 1929 when:--
 Automobiles units numbered 123,512; steel output was 96 per cent of capacity; car loudings were l,102.553 cars; bituminous coal out put was 9,655,000 tons; and electric power output 1,723, 3,00O, ,000 kilowatt bours. That was when business was just beginning its long descent.
 Now For Unemployment
 
 Latest figures, of the American Federation of Labor place the number of unemployed at the end of June at 10,S12,000 compai ed with the recent low of 10.10S.0D0 at the end of last September. As workers lost their jobs they receive financial assistance from the feder- al government.
 Al ernment had $6.3S6, ,S64,344 avail- able for relief and promotion of business activity and this money Is expected to flow rapidly into the hands of the public If needed to stimulate actviity in the autumn.
 Included in that huge sum is $1,- S0O,000,00 which can be spent by the Reconstruction Finance Corpo- ration in loans to business and railroads or used for further strengthening of the banking struc- ture. Mere than $2.000,00O.00O can be spent for various public works activities to provide new employ ment on public projects. Elmer gency conservation can take $sb0. 100000; the emergency relief ad- ministration. $275, 5,000,000 and the farm credit administration. $250.- 000,00O. Smaller amounts are available for dozens of other recov- cry purposes.
 Has More To Help
 In addition President Roosevelt has more than $40O,000,0 in un- allotted funds and the public works administration more than $125,- 900. 900 that can be shifted to var lous agencies should need arise.
 As the administration Is holding it's principal recovery plans for the autumn months actual government cash expenditures have again dwindled and ws<e not expected to have exceeded SbO0. 100000 During July. compared with peak oi nearly a billion dollars last Janu. ary.
