Capitals hidden shames!
When President Roosevelt recently
subscribed his signature to the alley
closing law, he signed the death war
rant Of the inhabited alleys of the
District of Columbia When he pre-
sented the pen thus used to Mrs.
Archibald Hopkins, that indefatigable
worker for alley elimination. the pc
riod of agitation against the inhabited
alleys was ended. and the era of plan
ming and conversion was begun.
The new law comprehends the es-
tablishment by presidential authority
Of an agency to administer the clear
ance Of the inhabited alleys by acqui-
sition of alley buildings and land and
conversion of this property to uses
other than residential. An initial fund
Of $500.000. to be provided by the
Public Works Administration, is made
available to begin the project. The
agency will be guided In its work by
the District Commissioners and the
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission. The powers granted the
new agency are sufficiently broad to
permit hexibility of operations in the
interests of efficiency and economy.
BY this means. the -sought-for
object of social-minded Washingto-
mans approaches a happy realization.

SATURDAY. JULY z, 1884
MT Gormley Speaks Up

Attorney Martin E. Gormley of Nau- gatuck, unsuccessful candidate for con- gressional honors in the fifth district at the last two elections, has finally made definite statement on his ambitions this fall with regards to the democratic nomi- nee. He will support the candidacy of William Dyer of Norfolk, judging by what he had to say in Ansonia Thursday night. From rumors here and there in the dis trict of recent weeks this merely substan- tiates the fact that democrats from Litch- field county with whom MT Gormley Is more friendly than with those in the south end of the district are opposed to any Waterbury democrat getting the nomina- tion.
 The avowal of candidacy by Major J. Joseph Smith of this city some time ago was a signal for instant opposition from Litchtield county, at least from certain democratic elements in it. It is question whether those who oppose Major Smith and who seek to nominate somebody else actually constitute the majority group that they declare themselves to be. It is too early to predict the outcome of the con- vention. It would be foolish to say that the only candidates when the convention rolls around would be MT Dyer and Major Smith
 A week or so ago Ansonia democrats started boom for Judge Frederick Me- Carthy, probably figuring that in the vent of deadlock between the Smith and Dyer forces good compromise candidate in the shape of Judge Mccarthy would stand a fine show of being nominated. There is no desire on the part of Waterbury to hog the fifth congressional district nomina- tlon but there is sincere belief among Influential democrats that unless the den1- ocratic vote in Waterbury can be secured the candidate of the party does not stand much of chance of being elected. 7 There is good reasoning in the plan to bring forward as the candidate man who will make heavy inroads into the custom ary vote accorded the present incumbent, Representative Edward w. Goss, in his own home town. If there is to be test ot strength at the convention nothing will prove more conclusively the drawing power of the candidates than their success in lining up delegates. Judge Gormleys espousal of the Dyer candidacy now allows the fight to become really test ot strength between Major Smith and Chair man Dyer of Norfolk Waterbury looks to the local candidate to be returned the nominee.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-07-07
No Favors Granted

We like the stand that our city officials are taking with regard to leniency In col 1ecting fines for violations of parking ' ordinances. From the mayor down all are resolved that no more favors shall be granted. Anyone in the future who re- ceiyes tag for some traffic violation must promptly pay the $1 which is the tax as- sessed at the present time. In view ot the fact that traffic conditions in the city just at the present are slightly jumbled, it is the only attitude to adopt.
 Z We sincerely trust that such an adamant stand will not be for few days or merely a month. It should continue indefinitely. Only by such means will the lesson be brought home to motorists that they can not evade certain rules by virtue ot thelr political connections, relationships, etc. There are many pretexts adopted by drivers to get out of paying the Sl that the customary tag placed on the steering wheel of the car calls for. All go into the discard now. Nice work!
 Hartford adopted the same tactics some months ago and at the same time made the fine $1, whereas formerly it had been S2. Waterbury dropped the tax to $l without making an effort to tighten up on the number of those who were having their tickets taken care of by various ln- dividuals who knew the open sesame Tn the police department. No more will those magic words spell the difference between paying and not paying. It's high time the change came and we trust that Waterbury's driving public will hold with the officials in their campaign.

PROSINGS GRAMMATICAL
 By Percival Prim

You have heard, of course of Percival Prim. You haven't? Then, know this is her, not him, Percy Prim, who never yet made a mis- take, but would like to, just once, for variety's sake. He says "This is l." insists Ut was we." Here's your chance. You may soon be as perfect as he.
 The New Deal, they say, thinks of making a law to punish with death all who say T have saw" Then, life sentence isn't too heavy, I ween, for the double-dyed william who tell us T seen." Still, give them a chance, see-saw-seen do make known. Teach them seen needs a helper, but saw stands alone.
 It was foolish, perhaps, but my heart really sank, to hear Uncle Jim say The stuff I have drank!" The parts of the verb, drink, drank, drunk, I have shown, told him drunk needs a helper, but drank stands alone. He says: You're a grammar wiz, Percy, Tits true Drunk does need Q helper. I've seen 'em need two." When they talk like that, now, what can one do? You may have more sense. I'll explain it to you. Say T drank,' II have drunk" I insist it's well known drunk does need a helper, drank does stand alone, but that uncle of mine who calls grammar "the bunc" may just help himself drunk needs helper, but drank

Bacterial War Planned

A lot of the things that have happened in the world in the last few years are almost enough to give thoughtful person the feeling that the human race has gone quite mad. Nothing points quite so strongly in that direction as the things that get printed when that "next war" is Sup for discussion.
 Glance, for example, at the article re- gently published in England by Wickham E Steed, veteran journalist. MT Steed says that disease germs and poison gas will be used against civilian populations in the next war. Elaborate plans for infecting municipal water and air supplies with bacteria have been made, he says. and

"Cosmecology" New Study For Science
By BRUCE CAPTION

The latest branch of science de- vised for those who peer into
 the unknown realms of the uni- verse is 'caosmecology." This
 word is coined by Prof Harlan T.. Stetson, who gives it to the world in his new book, Earth, Radio, and the Stars"
 In simple terms, cosmecology
 might be defined as the study of
 the relation ship the earth has to the structure of the universe-the
 "cosmic scheme" as he calls it. And in this book, Dr Stetson tries to sum up this relationship as based upon the many years of study he has made both as direc- tor of the Perkins Observatory and professor Of astronomy at Ohio Wesleyan university, and now as research associate in geophysics at
 Harvard university. Dr Stetson has made particu-
 larly intensive studies into the ef- fects of radio upon the earth, as attributed to the sun and the sun and moon, by means of the still practically invisible thread of radio.
 To Dr Stetson this book is mere ly the beginning, or merely the suggestion, of study that he calls
 "cosmecology."
 The book is published by Mo-
 Graw-Hill at $3.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-07-07

Washington, July 7- One of Roosevelt's great grandfathers was a prosperous Dutchman who sent his ships back and forth be- tween the Island of Manhattan and the Virgin Islands carrying rum and sugar. At one time he controlled most of the rum trade of St Croix, then producing the most famous rum in the world. That perhaps is one reason his descendant is so interested in the islands he is visiting today. But there is another, much more important reason. Roose- welt was assistant secretary of the navy when we bought the Virgin Islands in 1917 as a naval base. Denmark didn't want to give them up. Finally the Amer ican minister threatened that we would take them if we could not buy them. The price was $25,00O, 1000.
 VIRGIN ISLANDS
 Since then the Virgin Islands have been the most neglected of all our possessions. Hoover was not tactful, but correct when he called them an effective poorhouse." Reason was that the Danes invested $4,000,000 in them; American investments after our purchase totaled not more than $20,000. Roose- welt, realizing this, put up $l,- 000,000 of PWA money to revive the ancient rum industry. The plan Is to revive the former rep utation of St Croix rum, preserve standards, give back a profit to the people of the islands. Home stealing land also will be distrib- uted to farmers.
 JOB SEEKERS
 The granting of an additional billion dollars to the Home Own CTS Loan Corporation by the re- cent congress has enormously increased applications by job seekers. Last week they totaled 4,9S0. A special staff has been organized to handle them. Kansas Representative Mrs Kathryn O'Loughlin Mo- Carthy writes Washington News Letter" during sessions of congress which she distributes free to 93 weekly papers in her district. A. F. of l.. moguls are greatly concerned over the disintegration of it's young auto mobile union. This Is be- cause A. F. of L. failure to stop the growth of the employers company unions. To cambat this the A. F. of L. is quietly dis
 carding it's traditional craft union policy and In this industry
