New Deal Eulogized
 By Judge Mascolo
Radio Address Last Evening Evoked Statewide Inter
 est-DemOcrats Praised for PrOgressiveness

Declaring that the words New Deal constitute such a striking and appealing phrase because they are expressive of an aspiration deep in the hearts of the people, Judge Ed- ward Mascolo of this city last night delivered a radio address from Hartford over WTIC in which he praised the achievements of Pres ident Roosevelt and urged support of the democratic candidates seek ing eleGtion to efflce on Tuesday. The words New Deal, he said, "de- note faith, hope and charity. They mean encouragement to those who are in despair and spell an equal opportunity to men and women ground beneath the cruel heel of a relentless social system which has raised up few to great wealth and power at the expense of the many"
 Judge Mascolo reviewed the economic history of the country back beyond the 1929 crash and told his radio audience the steps taken since then to bring the coun- try back on a firm footing. He also explained the objectives of the New Deal pointing out that bettered employment conditions, elimination of elum areas are among the ob- jectlves of the presidents plan.
 Nothing Radical
 Where Is nothing alarming or radical in the program" declared JUdge Mascolo. Every student of s0elal science shows that there is hardly a country in Europe of the first rank that has not been adopt- ing advanced social legislation for the past two or three generations while in this country we have been principally busy trying to make
 The . .ew Deal represents the ideals and aims of the democratic party alone, was another point stressed by Judge Mascolo. "1n all fairness 1t should be given & req sonable time within which to at tain it's goal" he asserted. After all, two years hardly constitute suf- to demonstrate the soundness and practicality of the methods it is using to perform its enormous tasks" He added that the New Deal aims of the democratic party are not confined to the federal government alone. Therefore, he urged the voters of Connecticut to
 
 give 'our illustrious governor the backing of a democratic house and senate"
 Fearless Governor
 "It is equally important to elect Mayor Frank Hayes because by doing so we and the governor will have the benefit of having in the important post of presiding over the state senate a man who Is cap- able, fearless, energetic and pro- gressive."
 Congressman Francis T. Maloney of Meriden, democratic candidate for U. s. senator. also spoke oyer WT1C last night. A restoration of jobs and substantial honest wages to honest able-bodied willing men can overcome the backward steps of the past few years and preserve the future rugged individualism of the country. he asserted.
