last year voted to put the extra cop on there after the Rubber company officials requested it.
 Warden Sheridan asked why two men were needed there. Bur- gess Zwick replied that petty thieving was the reason.
 No Report Received
 We have had no report of it at Headquarters if there is," the warden answered. He asked who the officials were whom Burgess Zwick was speaking for but the third ward burgess said he did not wish to disclose their names. They haven't asked me about it. said the warden. They haven't got to; retorted Burgess Zwick. Well, of course don't have to answer you" said the warden.
 Burgess Zwick pointed out that the Rubber company is one of the heaviest taxpayers in the borough. They pay more than you or l." he said and they certainly deserve consideration, he added. What do you know about the rubber company" he asked the warden. Not an awful lot, the warden said. T guess not, Zwick snap ped" Of course, not as much as you do," Sheridan replied sarcas- tically and the large audience at the meeting chuckled.
 You've got no right to take the men off the force like this, Zwick declared. Burgess Victor Burkus pointed out nobody was being talk en off the force. Well, off the beat then, Zwick answered angrily.
 Tn referring to the argument Burgess Zwick used concerning the Rubber company being such a heavy taxpayer here, Warden Sheridan said, you used the argu- ment last year when you wanted the board to buy a new fire truck, you used that argument in adding a paid fireman to the fire depart ment and also in adding extra pa trolmen.

 Release Of Officer
Warden's Action of Dropping Cop on U s. Rubber Co Beat Criticized By Burgess Opposition to North
 Spring Street Sanitary Sewer Voiced
NAUGATUcK
Wm. D Baxter. Cortespondent-Phone Nangatuck e7s.a

Naugatuck, Nov. 9-Two hectic disputes, one on the matter of Warden John J. Sheridan having ordered policeman taken off the beat of guarding the U. s. Rubber company, the other on the matter of the North Spring street sewer, enlivened an interesting meeting of the board of warden and bur yesses last night.
 Oddly enough although the question of the motor patrol, about which much discussion has center ed, came up, there was no acri- monious discussion in regard to it. In answer to a question by Burgess Tracy Noble, republican, as to why the warden ordered the patrol removed, MT Sheridan stated he, did so to increase efficiency and give Sthe people of the town better protection.
 Realeasing two men from tho motor patrol, he said, allowed more sections of the town to get better personal protection, he maintained.
 Neither Burgess Zwick nor Bur- gess Noble who have criticized the warden in public statements con- corning the motor patrol and questioned his authority to do so without the consent of the board, last night brought up the question of whether he had the power to do 50, although they had claimed previously they would probably do so.
 When Warden Sheridan was a. burgess himself, there used to be warm disputes between Burgess Henry Zwick and Burgess Sheri- dan. Last night there was quite a hot exchange between the pair.
 Burgess Zwick asked why one of the two officers guarding the U. S. Rubber company property. here was removed from his beat. He said he was asking in behalf of Rubber company officials who "de- mand Q definite statement about 1t tonight. He said the board

of taxes of the U. s. Rubber com pany to the extent of $4,000."
 He apparently meant that the fire truck and other measures which Zwick supported were con- tributing factors in causing high CT tax rate and therefore because of this higher rate the Rubber company had to pay $4,00O more taxes.
 "The rubber company officials always have cooperated with me-" said the warden. T think they would come to my office if they wanted anything. They have come. in the past" NO they haven't" said Zwick. They have written you letters" "Our busi ness record is clear thus far, said MT Sheridan. Our books are open to all. What is the next order of business" And the discussion of this ended there.
 Motor Patrol Matter
 In regard to the motor patrol matter, Burgess Tracy Noble asked when the motor patrol would be restored and Warden Sheridan said he would rather not say at this time. There are more men available to place in other sections

Senator Walsh. He came out third
In the race.
Undoubtedly there were several fac
tors entering into his defeat, but the
chances are that the chief cause was
that the people did not approve Of
this bartering for public office, when
the one bartering held absolute con-
troll over the situation. It will be re-
called that shortly after Mr.. Erickson
was named, there were one or two
other governors who gave considera-

Is supposed to have led Dillinser into
the trap. They did this over the OBJ
lection Of the federal men, Ut .
time when no conceivable good could
be accomplished by 1t.
All In all, It Is hardly q record to
fill Z Chicasoan with pride.
And before the Dillinger case
lapses into obscurity, It Is worth
while to have 4 final glance at the
verdict Of the coroner's jury which
examined into his death. The verdict
reads as follows:
"John Dillinger came to his death
from the wounds Of bullets fired from
. revolver or revolvers, all in the
hands Of one or more government
agents. The agents are to be highly
commended for their efficient par
ticipation in the occurrence"
In its laconic brevity and salty ex-
pressiveness, this verdict has q tang
not unlike those which used to be
recorded in the wild west Of frontier
days. It tells the whole story in two
sentences. Short and grim, 1t Is a fit
ting epitaph for a gunman.

Farewell to Haiti

Within the next fortnight or so,
the last American marines will be
leaving the island Of Haiti-and
neither the Haitians, the American
public, nor the marines themselves
will feel very badly about it II they
never go back.
The marines have been on the
island for many years. Their great
est strength there was in May, 1921,
when more than 1000 Of all ranks
were concentrated there. This spring
and summer the number had shrunk
to approximately $50; and now. be-
cause Of the new understanding
reached between the American and
Haitian governments, it is shrinking
to nothing at all.
It Is good to see the marines leav-
ing. The islands situation was very
tangled indeed when they first land
ed. and they did lot Of very excel
lent work; but in the end the Hal
tians must work out their own saliva
ton as an independent state, and
they can't do that until the last
American marine has gone home.

No Fear of Famine

The persistence Of q soaring, CROP
burning drouth at a time when the
United States government Is spend
ing millions Of dollars to get farmers
to reduce their crops is almost enough
to make one suspect that the wealth
erman is trying to play joke on
somebody.
II it is q joke, 1t is mean one.
Baking heat, blistering sunlight. and
a sky which remains pitilessly cloud
less for weeks at time, with never
a drop Of rain to lay the dust-these
are. or can be, the makings Of ma
tional calamity, and anyone can be
pardoned II he fails to see anything
very funny in the situation.
When a spell OF weather like this
hits land where the social organi-
zation is primitive, famine results. It
was to guard against Just such disas-
tiers that the ancient agrarian tribes
Of the American southwest developed
such elaborate rites to appease the
rain gods; 1t Is to help mitigate the
effects Of such disasters that the
American public is called on every 20
often to contribute to Chinese famine
relief funds.
Yet the United States today, for all
the damage that the drouth Is caus-
ing, is in no danger of famine. Cattle
are dying for want Of water: grain
is being burnt brown in the fields;
vegetable gardens are being scorched
into aridity-but we are not going to
have q real food shortage this win
ter.
If any people 60 hungry it will be
because our economic machine Is still
out Of gear and not because the ma
tional granary has been stricken.
For the same factors which led the
government to hire the farmers to
produce less than usual also operate
to soften the blow which the ele-
ments have launched at us.
Into the oldest and simplest busi-
ness in the world-the raising Of
foodstuffs on the land-we have In
jected so many complications that
the whole picture has changed.
Bumper crops no longer mean auto
matte prosperity for farmers: In
stead, they tend to glut the markets
and flatten the farmers purse.
On the other hand. natural disas-
tiers which cut the production Of
foodstuffs no longer mean famine
and want.
It Is because Of the intricacy Of our
whole economic organization that We
have to cook up such measures Is the
AAA. But that very intricacy u the
factor that keeps VI from going
hungry when the age-old causes Of
famine are abroad In the land.
