washington, May a. How
serious In the fight between auto
mobile workers and automobile
manufacturer has been re.
allied for some time. But that
both hate the MIRA even moro
than they hate each other was
disclosed only this week.
The revealing incident was a
speech scheduled to have boan
made by General johnson In
Detroit tomorrow Thursday.
Young Frank Couzens, mayor
OF tho motor metropolis and son
Of Senator Couzons, conceived the
idea OF having johnson como
out. He thought johnson could
hold a big public mass-meetlng,
get the workers In n better
mood.
They have been threatening
general strike. The Automo-
bile Labor Board, created by
Roosevelt TO keep labor peace In
tho industry has been getting no.
where fast. The workers dis

TROUBLEMAN JOHNSON
So johnson was 10 be tho
troublemnn.
He readily agreed to make the
speech, began working on the
text, when he got n phone call
from Mayor Couzens.
"Thc situation has become
too dangerous, General" he ad.
viscd. I'VE feel u best you do
not come. I've called off the
meeting"
johnson hit the ceiling, re.
fused TO accept Couzens' warn
ing. The mayors father and
johnson are none too friendly,
and the Recovery Administra-
tor Immediately suspected that
tho senator had something TO
do with withdrawing the invita-.
tion.

he told young COuzcBs.
Roy y. Chaplin Is president of
Hudson Motors, was Hoover's
secretary OF commerce. Mayor
Couzens told johnson TO go
ahead and consult the motor
mogul.
johnson did. He got the same
advice.
"Irs too hot MP here" Chaplin
said. "Bettcr stay away"
SO Johnson Is not pouring oil
on Detroit's troubled waters to-
morrow. The speech, still In his
system will be given elsewherde.

Mr. du Parcq touches on some OF

Bridgeport, Fairfield, Trumbull, and
Stratford would be serviced by joint
sewage facilities under a plan recently
advanced in Fairfield county by the Plan
ming Association. It would necessitate
the creation of a sewer district which in
itself requires legislative approval just as
does the creation of fire or water dis
trict, school district, etc Such a district
would then levy its own taxes, depending
upon the amount of money needed annu-
ally to pay off interest, retire a definite
amount of the bonds that would be re-
quired to finance project of this type,
salaries, etc. Such plan is believed the
sole solution of the preservation of the
bathing beaches along the shore. The
statistics show that Fairfield has no sew
age plant; Bridgeport has one that does
not render sewage harmless when ulti-
matey deposited in the Sound or nearby
rivers; Stratford's facilities are taxed to
the utmost. Trumbull is not reported on.
Perhaps it's sewer development has not
yet reached the public development stage.
However, any steps that four such COM
munities would take would be interesting
right here in the Naugatuck valley where
similar deplorable conditions exist. Our
work. however, towards ultimate cleans
ing of the Naugatuck river is progressing
slowly.

words, if you apply for so or 100 eggs,
you'll have to furnish proof in addition
that you have the setting hens to hatch
them and also the proper breeding equip
ment TO care for the young birds. You
further agree that the birds upon reach

CHICAGO, October IA sharply
rising tide Of students flooded colleges
and universities during September
sending enrollments up an average of
10 per cent.
Educators were almost unanimous
in attributing the mounting army of
education-seekers to Federal relief
funds made available this year to COL
lege students.
Higher enrollments range from a
slight increase at Temple University
Philadelphia. to an 80 per cent jumu
in the University of South Dakota S
freshman class.
Western colleges, reporting the
largest gains, believed a scarcity of
jobs was encouraging college attend
ance. Many educators saw the figures
as an indication of better times.
Pacific Coast and other Far Western
colleges were the leaders in the back
,to-school trend.
Most Midwestern universities and
colleges reported increases of around
10 per cent in registration, and the en-.
roilment at Southern enducational
centers was about the same.
