The report contained in The Wa terbury Democrat some weeks ago that, second place on the demo- cratic ticket might go to State Senator John c. Blackall of Hart ford, a native of this city, has reached the point where it is com mon talk in state political circles. 1t is now claimed that the former Waterbury newspaperman is fa- vored by Governor Cross for the nomination.
 A recent check-up by a promi- nent republican periodical, the Connecticut State Journal, revealed that MT Blackall was the concensus in democratic ranks as the candi- date for lieutenant-governor. This merely substantiated what The Waterbury Democrat claimed some weeks ago.
 Conspicuous Senate Figure
 Attorney Blackall, who has prac- ticed law for many years in Hart ford and is now associated with his brother, Attorney Charles Blackall, also former Waterbur- ian, served his first term in the senate in 1888. He narrowly missed being elected president pro tenn of the senate. He was a conspicuous member throughout the entire session, standing firmly for dem ocratic principles and the right of the party to dictate its own ap- pointments.
 It is a question whether state leaders will recognize the Waterb- ury complex in this situation. The city can still claim some interest in Attorney Blackall provided he should win the nomination for lieutenant-governo which was de-

tional issues would have consider ation, the president proposed, and the congress established, the Ten nessee Valley Authority.
 The Tennessee Valley Authority Act is a matter that is very close to the president. It is not a devel- opment of a day or month. It is not primarily a dam building job, a fertilizer job, or power transmits sion job.
 Improving Conditions
 The president is interested in fertilizer and in power, but he Is primarily interested in impr owing social and economic conditions as a whole. He is interested in dis placing planlessness with intelli- gent planning. He knows that we cannot build permanent prosperity on government appropriation These may be tonic and stim- ulant to stir normal functions into action, but they must be supple. mented by other productive activ- ity. America cannot live long by the process of consuming it's own reserves. The president strongly hopes that as normal life returns
  cess of over-building, over-eXpan- sian and collapse. He hopes that we may not continue to have the enrichment of some areas and some classes at the expense of the mpoverishment of others. He hopes we may overcome the habit of destroying future we'll being for present gain. He wants to see thrift and common sense for today con- bined with foresight, imagination and social responsibility in plan ming for the future.
 Great Wastes
 He observes certain great wastes in our social and economic life, which destroy wealth and take away from millions of men a fair opportunity for the fulfilment of their reasonable and normal de- sires. He hopes to see some of those wastes eliminated. He hopes to see the average man have a fair chance for the fulfillment of his reasonable aspirations. He hopes to see the present take reasonab ble precautions for the future. What ever will best bring about the elimination of economic waste and the release of the creative energies of men. that is the very essence of social and conomic planning.

BY DIR ARTHUR F. MORGAN Chairman of the Tcnnesse Valley
 Authority

(Written for the United Prcss)
 Knoxville, Tenn, July 1O-(UP) When President Roosevelt pro- posed the organization of the Ten nessee Valley Authority his action was not in response to a happy thought without relation to his program as whole. Rather. he saw it as a normal and integral part of that program He viewed it as a means for displacing haph- 2zard unplanned and unintegrated social and industrial development by introducing increasing elements of order, design and forethousht. In the large, the problems of the Tennessee Valley Authority are the problems of America.
 National Scale
 AS part of the presidents pro- gram must of necessity be on a na- tional scale. Tariff policy. banking policy, the National Recovery ad- ministration, those and other is- sues must be dealt with by the na- tion as a whole. But in the effort to bring social and economic de- sign into our national life, there are many issues which can be worked out best on a limited scale before they are given national ap- plication. Many of our problems have regional variations, and can be solved best through regional in- depreciation. To provide a limited area in which some of these na-

 Hollywood, July 1O.-Doctors. nurses, and hospitals seemed to oc- cupy the attention of movie-mak- CTS during the last year as never before.
 And the profession came out so distinctly second best in most of them that there was a marked pub lie reaction against such pictures. Many of the audience felt that there. ought to be enough drama about the grim routine of a hos pital to make a picture, without shooting it full of intrigue.
 Registered Nurse" was a typ ical example of how the movie- makers could see no better chances for drama in hospital than in a., series of intrigues be- tween doctors and nurses. This film made out Lyle Talbot, a young doctor, as a man who re- gards constant procession of women as necessary to his happi- ness, and who discards one as young doctor, as a man who re- gards a constant procession of women as necessary to his happi ness, and who discards one as fas as he becomes infatuated with another.
 Bebe Daniels, as the nurse, finally falls in love with him, only to discover that she is just one of a mob, and that the doc tor hasn't sincere note in his VULGARITY TOSSED IN
 This theme, while not very edifying in itself, was further embroidered by touches of vul- garity by Vince Barnett, which proved highly objectionable to most people, and which seemed to me to have no hearing what ever on the story.
 Men in White" was another hospital picture which received rather wide condemnation despite many obvious merits and direc- tion and performance which were in man ways skillful Clark Gable and Myrna Loy were the stars.
 The entire action in this play takes place within hospital. And here again there is an affair between Gable and nurse. It's rather easy, you see. Hospital. Doctor. Nurse. Man. Woman. Love. No particular ingenuity is required to make plot out of that.
 ANOTHER MESSY ONE
 In Men In White" Galbe, who is engaged to Myrna Loy, be- friends a young nurse, portrayed by Elizabeth Allen. The nurse comes to his room one night to borrow a notebook. They chat for a few moments. Then Gable tells her she had better leave, and goes out himself.
 Miss Allen starts to leave, changes her mind, and lies down on Gabels bed instead. And the next time she comes into the story, she is brought into the hos

North Dakota and LANCER
(Dickey County LEADER

North Dakota, which once recalled
a man duly elected governor and then
sent him to represent it in Washing
ton, last week made another fantastic
exhibition of itself by according q
staggering vote to governor who
stood convicted of a felony. Small
wonder that the nation looks upon
us as a people slightly sub-normal
mentally: nor can those who opposed
the action find much comfort from
that fact. In the eyes Of our critics
we all are equally guilty Of q most
erratic behavior, to put it kindly.
How we North Dakotans look to the
outside world was expressed editori-
ally last week by the ST. Paul Pioneer
Press, which said:
Although the voters Of North Da-
kota thought so little Of Governor
Langer's crime against the United
States that they gave him the en-
dorsement Of an overwhelming VIC
tory in the Republican primary cleo
ton this week, federal court has
thought seriously enough of it to give
him the stiff sentence Of eighteen
months in prison and fine Of $10,-
600. Unless his appeal succeeds, Gov
ernor LANCER will have the bitter ex-
perience Of enjoying his political vim
dication in Leavenworth or some
other federal prison.
North Dakota IS thus twice
shamed: First for the conviction Of
its governor for a felony; and second,
and more seriously, for renominating
him after his conviction in federal
court OF q felony. Had Governor
LANCER been convicted by an inqpisi-
torial government while standing in
defense Of some great principle or
human right, the action Of the voters
Of North Dakota in giving him vindi-
cation would have been worthy. But
Governor LANCER, despite his croco-
die tears. could be called q victim Of
oppression by no stretch Of magma
ton. He was caught in q shabby
piece Of political jobbery while trying
to turn public money to his own per-
sonal advantage.
THE severity Of the courts SEN
tence is also Q judgment Of the court
against the political morality OF rank
and file citizens who were able to
close their eyes to Governor Langer's
conduct and conviction, and who were
prepared to nominate for the chief
office OF the state q man found guilty
Of felony against the United States
Governor hangers crime was bad
enough; for the voters not to care Il
Wor1e.
I'm : democracy the people gen.
orally get the kind Of government
.they. want and deserve. In view ct
hangers denomination, can 1t be
surprising Il the level Of government
competence and integrity = 90 often
low? Inefficiency, incompetence and
corruption are the price the public
