CUMMINGS IS HOPEFUL

Attorney General Desires Intensi-
fed Attack on Underworld.
An intensified attack on the under
world is the New Year hope of At
torney General Cummings.
IT am confident that the fine pub
lie support of law enforcement agen-
cies participating in the present sus-
tanned movement to deal with the
challenge of crime will be intensified

Relief Is 1885 Problem.

Another problem we must solve In
1885 is the question of unemployment
and public relief. The 25,000, 900 peo-
pie who will be on relief this Winter
are a constant drain upon the ma
tional income without any return.

Nature Has No Equal

Every so often man begins to boast OF
his prowess and his ability to chain the
forces of nature Up at Passamaquoddy
Bay in northern Maine government engi-
neers are beginning the gigantic task OF
Harvesting the flow of the mighty tides
that sweep in and out of this arm of the
ocean. Over in New York state more en-
gineers are right now concerned with re-
storing order from the havoc that was
wrought when hard transforms caused
waterways to sweep over their banks and
flood the countryside.
It has been years and years since New
York state was visited with such dis
aster as this has been. The memory of
the oldest residents does not go back to
similar incident. And so it goes in many
sections of this nation. Only few years
ago northern New England suffered
when the Connecticut river went on a
rampage Other rivers followed her ex-
ample and Vermont towns met the same
fate as those in New York just recently
encountered.
Right here in the Naugatuck valley we
have escaped all such quirks of nature as
this We seldom, if ever, in winter months
experience more than passing difficulty
from the snowfalls. In the spring or fall
rains do not hamper us to the degree that
loss of life and tremendous property
damage is recorded. Yet who knows when
the day will come that such will be our
fate. New York states peaceful farm dis
tricts did not contemplate any such hap
penings as those of the last few days. And
people were naturally totally unprepared.
All of which indicates that one of the
greatest needs right now in relief work is
flood control and it's accompanying sis
tiers, soil erosion, stream pollution, Uncle
Sam could confer no greater favor on
this nation than by making great plans
for the future so far as control of our
natural waterways is concerned. Moth
ing should be left unturned to meet the
future with a knowledge that prepare
tions have been made for the worst even
If the worst never comes to pass:

Decision of William A. Hendrick of New
Haven, publisher of the Connecticut State
Journal, official organ of the republican
party, to consider himself still a member
of the State Board of Finance and Control
indicates that the board should have a
lively session when it convenes in Hart
ford today. Inasmuch as Governor Cross
presides over the body as chairman and
he has appointed successor to Mr.. Hen
drick in the person of Vincent L. Heating,
democrat, of Bridgeport, there should be
some excitement unless legal procedure
halts everything.
Attorney Heating when informed of his
predecessors plan to retain his commits
sionership stated in Bridgeport that he
would 60 to Hartford prepared to be re-
ceived as new member. Some interest
ing results should follow this clash. 1t is
not clash between personalities, but be-
tween parties for the seating of Attorney
Heating will give the democrats a clean
sweep on the board, the only remaining
n. Hall of New Britain, who has been con-
tinued in office by Governor Cross.
"A recent ruling of the office of the At
torney- General stated that the term of Mr..
Hendrick was definite. He was nominated
for six years and when his term expired
there was no hold-over provision. Repub-
licans claim that failure of the Legislature
10 take action on the governors appoint
ment of Attorney Heating to succeed Mr..
Hendrick automatically retains the latter
IN office until such time as the Legisla-
4ure shall take action on a gubernatorial
appointment Evidently this is a matter
for the courts to decide and not mere
1aymen.

Behind the Battle Lines

One of the greatest services rendered
BY the Department of Justice in the war
on crime is the work done by it's bureau of
Identification. The exploits of its sleuths
are widely known; less publicized but per-
haps even more valuable is the way in
which its files can provide any local police
organization with swift and sure identifi-
cation of an arrested person. An exam
pie is provided in the arrest in New York
Of Merton w. Goodrich, who was wanted
in Detroit far the murder of child.
Goodrich was arrested in New York
for disorderly conduct. The New York
police had no way of knowing that he was
wanted in Detroit Tor an atrocious crime.
IL The ordinary course of events he would
have served week or so in jail and then
gone his way. But New York sent his
Hngerprints to the Department of Justice
end Detroit's long hunt for him was
pYer. Here is service any police or
zheriff's force can use. It Is one Of the
most valuable Of all services In the fight
against crime.

Washington, July 11.-Few
realize it, but Secretary Harold
Ickes' PWA will have a great
deal more money for slum clear
ance and housing than the slim
amount allotted from the Works
Relief fund.
This is how the extra money
will be obtained:
Under the original $3,3O0,000
Public Works Act, PWA UNDER
wrote scores of state, municipal
and other public projects by
making outright grants OF 30
per cent and lending the other
20 per cent. As security for
these 40 per cent loans PWA
took the bonds of the construct
ing agency.
These bonds PwA now pro-
poses to use as a means of rails
ing funds to finance new pro-
jects. 1t is empowered under
the law to sci Them to the
RFC or in the open market.
In the vaults of the PWA are
contracts to purchase total or
500, 100000 0of these 20 per cent
loan bonds. Its actual bond
holdings are considerably less
than this, inasmuch as the Sc
curities are only issued when
the constructing agency calls for
money to meet its expenditures.
There is ready demand for the
bonds which PWA already has
on hand. Some weeks ago
Ickes sold $100,000,000 of them
and on such favorable terms that
he made $1,000,000 profit on
the transaction. Now the RIG
has offered to buy $140,000,000
worth, on a similar profit-mak-
ing basis.
After this sale, Ickes will
have only $55,OOO,OOO worth of
the loan bonds remaining In his
portfolio.
An interesting possibility off
the ingenious arrangement is
that the credit creating possibili-
ties do not end with the sale OF
the bonds. With the money he
obtains by this means, Ickes

Paraguay and Bolivia are to be con-
graduated on having agreed to settle their
quarrel in conference. The representa-
tives of the neutral Spanish American
countries and the United States who
acted as mediators deserve congratula-
ton. This suicidal war, more than most
of the conflicts of recent years, should
have stopped before it started. It took
three years, and 100000 dead men, with
as many seriously wounded, out of COM
bined population of less than 4,000,0 900,
together with impoverishment and debt
that will take many years to overcome, to
bring these fighting cocks to their senses.
Even now there is no assurance that they
will not start shooting again if anything
goes wrong with the negotiations.
The war is evidently worse than draw.
1t seems unlikely that either nation will
ever be as well off as both would have been
if they had let some impartial tribunal
settle the quarrel before they took the
road of bloodshed and bankruptcy. If an
orderly civilization ever develops on this
earth, such folly will no longer be per-
mitted. The human race may decide that
there are blessings even greater than un-
trammeled national sovereignty, just as
civilized society has already decided evexy-
where that there are greater blessings
than limitless individualism.

Paris Letter

Paris (UP)-visitora and foreign
residents in France learn only too
soon o fthe complexities of French
law. The average tourist might
not attempt to dray up win, get

foreigners encounter battling laws
concerning residence, identity cards

7 Finally someone has come to the
resuce of the bewildered foreigner.
Raoul Aghion, a French lawyer
who has been practising here for
the past 10 years, had the happy
thought OF writing a compendium
Of French laws and court decisions
which affect foreigners and foreign
companies in France. The book is
entitled French Law, as Applied
to British Subjects and Compan-
les" but as the author remarks ip
the preface. '.the greater part of
the solutions adopted by the
French courts in regard to the
English are equally applied to the
American"
The question of nationality Is
gone into thoroughly. 1t is inter-
esting to learn that "any person
born of a foreigner in France and
domiciled there shall at the age of
Il years be considered of French
nationally, unless, In the year fol-
lowing his majority, he has repu-

foreign woman who marries q

Senator William Borah, republican, is
warning the republican party not to draw
upon the Supreme Court Of the United
States for its next presidential candidate.
He says it would be a. serious blunder"
for the party to do this. Justices Harlan
F. Stone of New York and Owen j. Roberts
of Philadelphia have been mentioned in
recent dispatches as likely candidates for
the cop. nomination. And the courts
ruling against the New Deal only served
to excite republicans who view 1886 with
considerable anticipation. Perhaps the
senator from Idaho recalls the time that
the now Chief Justice, Charles Evans
Hughes, ran against Woodrow Wilson in
1916. However, the margin of victory
for the democratic candidate was slight
and for time it seemed that he was
beaten.

bergh, a pact to outlaw war be-
tween France and the United
States.
JULY, 1928-Frank B. KEEL
logg was putting the finishing
touches on the pact to outlaw

War, it was declared, was ended.
JULY, 192S-Herbert Hoover.
Calvin Coolidge, Kellogg, Slim

''loath to believe Ethiopia and
Italy would violate the pact.
JULY 5, i935-Mr. Hull stimuli
taneously advised all Americans
