Score One For Culhane

Senator George T. Culhane is to be congratulated on his victory ill the Sen- ate yesterday. His bill calling for elimlna- tion of all bank receiverships in Connecti- cut won the unanimous vote of the entire Senate. We can't say ofthand now the measure will fare at the hands ot the House, but there is every reason to oe- lieve it will be given as hearty support there as 1t somewhat unexpectedly dld Ill the Senate yesterday.
 The bill serves a good purpose. There has been too much criticism of bank re- ceiyerships of recent months. There IS gradually forming in peoples minds the opinion that receiverships are being pro- longed for the benefit of the receiver. How many times have the various courts ot thls state in the last year or so centered atten- ton on receiverships? No fault has been found with the manner in which thlS trust has been administered. The fault seems to be in the perpetual continuation of the same at the expense of the depositors ot the closed institution.
 Under provisions of the Culhane bill as finally passed by the Senate the closed banks of Connecticut must actually be- come "closed" or else must be reopened. To reopen one of these banks it first must be able to prove to the satisfaction of the State Bank Commissioner that it is SO per cent solvent. In that event the bank through its receiver may apply to the REC for a loan. All other receiverships are dissolved and the State Bank Commis- sioner is authorized to step in and settle accounts.
 This is considered one of the.ranking relief measures of the session. It is cer- tainly major feather in the cap of Sen ator Culhane. He has been meeting with many disappointments in the manner in which some of his worthwhile measures were disposed of in the Legislature. But this victory more than makes up for what he has lost. We feel hopeful that the closed bank bill will sweep through the House and become law and that it will meet with popular approval, if not with that of the special interests that opposed it so violently.

Who Wins This Bout?

Governor Wilbur l.. Cross certainly did not come off second best in the present embroglio over the position of State Agent. Although the Senate, through the coalition of the socialist-republican groups, knocked down the governors nominee, Senator Harvey l.. Thompson, democrat, of Middletown, it was obviously a retaliatory measure against Governor Cross acceptance of the resignation of Raymond L. Gates as State Agent.
 There are a number of angles to this case that bear careful study. In the first place MT Gates resigned his office as State Agent some months back when the vacan- cy at the Soldiers Home, occasioned by the death of Colonel William H. Welch, beckoned as something more permanent than his then occupation, trembling in the balance. He might have served out his term, which expired on July l, 1885, but he chose to resign. Governor Cross, how ever, chose not to accept the resignation.
 It has hung fire for the past few months Mir Gates in the interim occupying himself with State Agent duties and the office of superintendency of Fitch's Home for Sol diers went a-begging, but with the com- mon knowledge that it was being held open for MT Gates. With the pay-cut now HI ellGCL MI GdCSS was uIdWlLS pl,OOU :lS State Agent As superintendent of .Fitch's Home he will draw $7,451, so the money angle doesn't enter into the matter. Per haps the permanency of the latter job does, though
 And if that reasoning is followed it must be taken for granted that republi- cans in the Legislature, with whom MT Gates is on good speaking terms, were prepared to see new State Agent named. That they are not then opposed to Senator Thompson can also be deduced. What they are probably working for is the fur ther embarrassment of the democratic plurality in the Senate or the estrange- ment of Governor Cross and the Senate. The governor seems to have check-mated fhern in this respect. He holds the whip hand. The fight must now be carried to

He Became A Victim Of His Own Legend
By BRUCE CATION

The story of the late Paul von Hindenburg, says Emil Ludwig, is the tragedy of man who be- comes a legend before his death. Hindenburg became lengend be- fore the World War was three months old, and the legend grew with the years; in the end he came to believe 1t himself, and was made helpless by it. and saw his life pass entirely out of his own control.
 Ludwig tells about all this in his most recent biography, Hin denburg."
 He sees the famous German sol- dier as the archetype of the Prus- sian Junker, the embodiment of the German military spirit, the man whose one iode-star was un- swerving devotion to duty, but who was utterly unable to decide just what his duty was when changing times knocked his famil- far world out of its accustomed grooves.
 He tells how Hindenburg was chicd rom fettrement 10 serve @t Tannenberg in 1914, and how that victory-the most complete won by anybody in all the war--made him Gcrmany's idol.
 The government foatered the growth of the legend. until Him. denburg became bigger than Eov- ernment itself. With Ludendorff. he was absolute dictator of osrs many in the last two years of the wer. and the decisions the two took then were fatal because they were typical Junksr decisions.
 HInderbuFg's final years Ludwig finds extremely tragic. He was old, dotInG confused. lied to and tins posed upon, The Nasls used hlIn aS . tool, and ha dImiy realised li but there was nothing be eonld do about C.

It's like reading few pages from early American history to note that colonists are preparing to settle in interior Alaska. A large party of Minnesota people have picked up all their belongings and are now headed for the promised land. They hope to take from the soil of Alaska what Min nesota lands no longer offer them, liv- ing. Men, women, and children comprise the emigrant's caravan. Entire families and parts of families are going into the great Northwest And all of them are happy and optimistic. They believe they can conquer what Mother Nature has in store for them. True American pioneer spirit, that's what it is.

Automobile owners who dodge the property tax levied against them would be denied registration. This is one of the proposals that came before the Legislature this year and there is some merit in it. However, there is sure to be plenty of ob
 lection if any such measure is ever passed. And this suggestion might bear fruit. Towns should be allowed to impose a tax levy on all automobiles, the proceeds from which would go towards the maintenance of streets and highways within the town limits. The state today gets the bulk of the revenue from automo- bile taxation. All the towns receive is the annual grant of $17,5OO and this is pre- scribed for the use of dirt roads. Nothing is ever done about the city streets that are worn out by passage of many cars that never touch state highway, yet the gaso- line taxes, operation of these same cars raise, goes to the state, not to mention registration fees and operators license costs.

A MYSTERY BILL (Hartford Courant)

 The thirteen Connecticut organ izations interested in public health and child care that sent an open letter to Governor Cross protesting against what the designated as "a secret move" to prevent his nam ing the trustees of the proposed new institution for the feeble minded hit upon an obvious weak ness in the substitute bill now in the hands of the appropriations committee. There Is no place in legislation for mystery bills. The Committee on Humane Institutions gave q favorable report upon the original bill; if the Appropriations Committee prefers the substitute, 1t should take full responsibility and the majority of that commit tee should be ready and eager to speak publicly in it's favor.
 No one has yet piped up, and no wonder, for this substitute is pat ently device to keep the spending of a sl,b00,000 fund in the hands of politically minded persons and not to risk its being entrusted to tHV30 WHV 0MNV AtV WtN&H AtttEt 4Mt except to obtain the best possible hospital and training school for the money available.

Paris Letter
By MARY FENTREss

United Press Stan Corrcspondent)
 Paris (UP) No longer does the tall, towering woman have to benh her knees. hunch her shoulders and twist herself in order to dwarf her height when dancing with a man who happens to be shorter than she is. Enzel, the Paris shoe house, who caters to most of the houses of "Haute Couture" has come to her rescue and made equisite evening sandals that are low-heeled, and for day time, shoes that have no heels at all!
 The low heel of the evening sandal loses none of the grace of the spikes we've all been used to-, because it is cut square and grooved. The sole, thicker than is usual for evening wear. is of cork and leather, and because of its thickness takes away the "duck walk" look that low-heeled shoes give so many women.
 Supported By Straps.
 A slender strap supports the heel and the toes slip through q strap which partially covers and supports the side of the foot and is partially open. 4 tie at the inc step keeps the sandal in place. With the toes and heels exposed. it means sheerer stockings and more frequent pedicures.
 For sport and day wear, the tall girl has large variety to choose from. All sorts of brown and white, black and white and brown and beige combinations are being shown. Shoe materials this sea- son include Sport Kid, which has a suede-like Surface; what the French call Veau Tourne; antelope and suede. Veau Tourne Is the other side of calf. the pebbly side which used to so on the inside of shoes and now goes on the outside.
 Instep Practically Free.
 Enzel's new models leave part oi the instep free. This Is more com. fortable in warm weather and shows off one of the prettiost parts of a. woman's foot.

records. is slowly, steadily growing warmer. With more heat comes less rain. Rainfall is caused by the mixing of cold and warm winds, which make the latter drop their moisture. Our temperate zone has been growing warmer ever since the great ice age which covered our northern states 25,000 years ago. As the ice re- treats northward, so does the rain belt, leaving deserts behind. Most of this coun- try. along with large parts of Europe and Asia that are now fertile, will become increasingly arid like parts of New Mexico and Arizona today.
 This will cause great migrations. For time, regions drying up will get along with irrigation, building great reservoirs to conserve the water. We shall ration the water. But eventually through centuries, as the great drouth spreads, we shall have to move farther north, following the re- treating ice and snow, or farther south. Eventually our posterity may live in the Arctic and Torrid Zones and the higher mountain regions, which will still have their rainfall. From the Atlantic to the Pacific, our present country will be an almost continuous desert, with shifting sands like those of the Sahara of the Gobi Deserts.
 And when will this great calamity come? There's no immediate danger. Per- haps 5000 years from now. But the warn- ing gives us practical slant on the pres- ent problem. What has happened in the plains lately is no accident. It is well to take measures for alleviating drouth as much and as long as possible.

 Whether this was true or not. the French listened. to the ex- tent of signing only a milk-and- water treaty with Moscow. SUBMARINE GHOSTS!
 And right on the heels of this, the British found themselves back in the pro-French camp. They were sorer at the Nazis than ever before.
 Reason for this was submar- ines.
 There is nothing that makes the British see red quicker not even Germany's new air force (which is much more dan- gerous).
 Submarines give the average Briton a queer feeling in the pit of his stomach. He remem. bers the war days when his islands had only about three weeks' food supply and German submarines were sending 5000 Allied vessels to the bottom.
 Now the Germans not only have started a submarine pro- gram, but deliberately withheld this from Sir John Simon when he was in Berlin recently.
 One other factor has sent the British further toward the French than ever before. It is the new campaign for organism in Germany-apparen with the blessing of the Nazi govern ment.
 Remember that Ramsay Mac Donald, Stanley Baldwin, most British statesmen, are dcyout, GOd-fearing men. And they are leaders, for the most part, of a religious people.
 No two things could contri- bute more to the alienation of Great Britain than Germany's program for submarines and organism. This, plus the Nazi
