 MERRY-GO-ROUND
 Calvert Magruder, Harvard Jaw professor recently appointed general counsel of the national labor relations board, began his legal career in 1916 as score .tary to Supreme Court Justice Louis D. Brandeis. Magruder was the first of the long succession of brilliant young Harvard law graduates who have served one years apprenticeship under the liberal jurist. Four of Brandeis' former secretaries are professors of law at Harvard, one at Yale, one at Wisconsin, another at Minnesota. Fingerprinting as crime detector was origin- ated in England in the early ..1890's, but today the bureau of investigation of the justice de- pertinent has the most modern and complete collection of fin- in the world. J. Edgar Hoover began this collection in 1920, with two clerks assigned to the job. Today this work re- quires 315 experts and assistants. The collection contains 4,500.000 sets of prints, with new II coming in at the rate of 2,500 a day. Famed Scotland Yard has only 500,O00 prints.

Recent uprisings in Spain have called much attention to this picturesque coun- try. It has also brought to light few facts. There are comparatively few auto- mobiles in Spain. To-day there aren't as many as there are right here in Connec- ticut. But in the matter of good old OK cart it's quite different story. Despite the governments efforts to modernize the mode of vehicular travel oxcarts increased from 100000 in 1920 to 622,000 in 1881. Which goes to prove that you can possibly buy Spaniard an automobile, but you can't make him ride in it.

SCENIC CONNECTICUT (New Haven Journal-Courier)

Apparently the state planning board has resources of imagination as we'll as of research skill; the two, as is obvious. do not always go to- gether but have here. For under the auspices of the board a survey is just closing of the beauty spots and historical shrines of Connecti- cut. The board, in a word, intends to reintroduce the state to those of It's citizens who do not know 1t. That Connecticut is an ancient state we do all know; as the ter- centenary season hears we shall know 1t still more. But we have to take to the country and the woods to know its scenic beauty.
 Dr Edgar L. Heermance of New Haven IS in charge of the study, the result of which will soon be published in book form. Long as- soeiated with the Connecticut park and forestry association, Dr Heer. nance naturally knows his way about in these matters. "The sur. vey has paid a good deal of attsn. ton to the scenic roads throughout the state." he declares. Connect. cut highways as they pass through the beautiful scenery of our rural areas are one of the states great. eet assets" All that is true. the pity being that 70 few Connecticut folk know it. Their ignorance now VIII Dc Tess exeunabie than ever.

Bank robberies in Connecticut are few and far between an.i there never has been any in mem- ory of the present generation which caused loss or inconvenience to depositors. Until now the rob- bers have been amateurs and pretty rank ones, though armed and plenty daring, which makes the Wallingford hold-up recently strik- ingly different and provocative of thought and fear.
 Big-time criminals invaded the town and worked with such pre- cision and businesslike calmness that many residents knew nothing about the $24,000 robbery until they got their newspaper. Indi- cations are that the crime was studied and planned we'll in ad- vance and each of the five or six men actively engaged in 1t knew just what he was to do. There was a great show of weapons, even to a small but very deadly machine gun, and it is fortunate indeed that there was no, resistance. for no amount of money can be compared to human life.
 The robbers had little to fear in Wallingford itself for they prob- ably outnumnered the day police men and they had fast autos at hand to whisk them far away from the scene. Their troubles are be- ginning. The bank, immediately reimbursed under a blanket insur- ance policy covering burglary and hold-up to the amount of $25,000, will go quietly on its business way while the bandits will be hunted by federal police, Insurance and bank detectives, and state and local agencles. They will be caught, per- haps not until they have done other jobs in order to replenish the ''mob''treasury, but their ulti- mate capture is a certainty.
 If you have and doubts that crime doesn't pay, watch the out come of this case.

Washington, Oct. 9-The pres- .ident pulled a surprise on his labor and industrial advisers in proposing his employer-worker truce.
 Not one of them had heard about it until he launched the plan in his recent "fireside chat" Officials of the labor department, MIRA, and national labor rela- tions board knew no more about it than the millions of listeners in who heard the presidents speech.
 The real inside is that beyond the general idea of a truce, the president had no definite plan as to how it would be put into ef- feet.
 He hopes to work out these details in conferences he is now holding with industrial and labor leaders. If a satisfactory for mula cans be devised, he will then convene formal assembly of the two groups. BACKGROUND
 The background of the origin of the plan is intriguing.
 It was conceived in the fertile mind of Donald R. Richberg, the presidents new chief of staff on economic problems.
 The object is to head off labor uprisings now threatening in three major industries steel, automobiles. and rubber. In each of these, militant rank-and- file labor elements are getting ready to present demands as soon as the expected seasonal upswing materializes.
 While these demands will in. clude wage increases and hour reductions, the real issue will be the question of union recogni- ton.
 In projecting the truce scheme it was Richberg's thought that the trouble-breeding recogni- ton issue could be sidetracked for the winter.
 It was his theory that o n e this is out of the way, employers and workers in these three in- dustries will have little difficulty in getting together on wages and hours. DIFFICULTIES
 The task of formulating a workable plan to put the truce into effect presents several diffi- culties. Of these the knottiest is how to assure that the truce- plan, when formulated, will be
