DEBATE ON LONG
IN HOUSE DRAW
Sanders Hits Dictatorship
as Fernandez Defends
Senator.
BY the Associated Press.

by JllC hooOSidbcu 400
Charges and denials of dictator
ship" in politically torn Louisiana were
heard in the House today as Senator
Huey Long was assaiied and defended
in speeches by Democratic Repre-
sentatives from his State.
Representative Sanders began 1t,
charging the election machinery
with Long, dictator of the machine
was in control" and declaring no Judge
in the State would dare acquit an op-
ponent of the present regime. Then
Representative Fernandez took the
floor, using scribbled notationS on the
back of big manila envelope where
he had jotted them as Sanders spoke.
alarm Unnecessary"
"My distinguished colleague is un-
necessarily alarmed over conditions in
Louisiana today" Fernandez said,
"just as he was last year when
was candidate for the National
House and he appealed to the Gov
ernment to send Federal troops, If
necessary, to Louisiana, and to the
floor leader (now Speaker Byrns) to
send a special committee down to
watch my election
MY distinguished friend from
louisiana" Fernandez continued,
said that we have dictatorship.
Why, my good friends, We have 100
members in the House and 80 State
Senators, and every man is consulted
just as members of the National House
and Senate are. It's not one man
it's a majority of the House and
Senate"
The debate f1ared in the capitol
as word was received that Ernest j.
Bourgeois, president of the Square
Deal Association of Louisiana, which
is fighting Longs organization, had
been arrested in Baton Rouge.
Election Called Square.
Chuckles swept the House as Fer.
nandez described last Falls election
as the "fairest, squarest and most hon.
est election ever held in Louisiana"
They continued as he remarked
by the grace of God and the help OF
Huey Long was reelected to Con-
gress" Then Representative Kvale
(Farmer-Labor) OF Minnesota sug-
gested:
Perhaps slight amount of his own
ability was involved in the gentleman's
election"
To Representative Blanton Demo
craft of Texas, Fernandez agreed
frankly he could not have been re-
elected if he had been against the $50
called Long machine
He scoffed at Sanders charges that
school teachers, firemen and police OF
every Louisiana community were un-
der the control of dictator.
Making his maiden speech in the
House, Sanders had compared the
present regime in Louisiana to ''Asiatic'
dictatorship and said the troubles
there foreshadow "a conflict that will
soon be fought throughout the United
States"
Democratic institutions and tht
orderly processes of Democratic gov
ernment are rapidly disappearing ir
louisiana" he asserted.
THE American ideal of a Demo
cratic government with all power
lodged in the people with each COM
munity electing its own officials. is
being displaced by the Asiatic con-
ception of government of an all
powerful chief executive who rules the
whole people for the benefit of the
dominant faction or class"
He termed martial law in Baton
Rouge, his home town, a great out
rage" and said the Louisiana State
militia was merely the arm of the
dominant political faction"

TIME conversations between tine
representatives of the French
government, Premier Flandin
L and Foreign Secretary Laval,
and the British government
will not yield any positive results-at
least as far as the question of the
pacification of Europe is concerned.
These conversations had been post
poned twice in order to see whether
the American Senate would vote for
the adherence of the United States to
the World Court.
Now that America has been counted
out, it will be difficult for the British
to agree to give the French security
pact which every French government
has demanded as condition sine qua
non in exchange for disarmament.

Well Rid Of

Decision by city and trolley company
officials to rectify traffic conditions on
Homer street in Waterville will be greeted
with approval by many people, particular
", of course, motorists While it might
seem as if this roadway condition would
affect only one section of the town, being
located as it is in Waterville such is not
the case. Homer street is a very busy
and important thoroughfare. It is the
main route between the north end of
Waterbury and Waterville and as such is
heavily travelled.
!, great many people who reside in
Waterbury work in Waterville and in go
ing and coming pass over Homer street.
1t probably bears as much traffic in the
course of a weekday as does Thomaston
avenue and that's main artery of traffic
and an important link in the Naugatuck
Valley highway system. For well over
a year now the condition of Homer street
has been exceedingly dangerous. 1t. has
been called to the attention of the officials,
but nothing was ever done, save to patch
and repair the street surface occasionally.
When the trolley company was obliged
to stop its runs along Thomaston avenue
while the street was under repair, the
stretch of track between Hanover and
Waterville streets on Homer street was
utilized for switching purposes. The
tracks and roadway were never returned
to their former condition. AS result the
bottle-neck passage just west of Hanover
street and approaching the dangerous in
tersection of Waterville street became
more dangerous than ever with tracks
protruding well above the level of the
roadway. It is welcome to read that all
such conditions will be removed by cooper
alive action of city and company.

Colonial Litchheld

We may be a bit prejudiced in our
opinion, but it always seemed to this
writer that if true colonial style village
was desired, Litchfeld would fit right in
the picture. Of course modern-day civil
zation has made it's mark on Litchfield.
No community in the United States has
successfully resisted the progress of what
we call civilization. But the outward APP
pearance of the town, at least to the Wis.,
itor, is still peaceful, beautiful, and
historic.
During this week Litchfeld will par
ticipate in the states tercentenary with
an appropriate program Only one thing
will be missing. Almost anybody can guess
it, the presence of the late George c. Wood
ruff. During his lifetime the days spent
in Litchfield, no event of historical import
ance could take place without the guiding
genius of George Woodruff. He was in
dispensable for he could supply the nee
essary historical background as we'll as
superintend all plans.
When Litchfield observed her bicenten-
NAL back in 1920, it was George Woodruff
who ran the show and also took care of
the visiting newspapermen who thronged
the village for the occasion. His absence
during the week of tercentenary cele-
brating will be noted by more than one
resident of the town, as we'll as visitor.
Litchfeld did not need to go to any trouble
for this weeks celebration, which she con-
tributes to Connecticut as her share OF
the tercentenary year.
She offers every day in the year to the
passerby many places of historical inter-
est. Visits to these shrines, so we'll
known to many of us, are common
occurrence. A stroll down any of the
magnificent tree-shaded streets of the
village will amply reward the person
seeking for the beautiful in architecture
or the event in history. Whether it be
Tapping Reeves Law School or the VOL
colt House or the Harriet Beecher Stowe
well or any of the many other places of
interest the trip afoot, never by car, will
be well worth while.

government. That program can hardly be
repeated again, whatever the law. It is
forbidden by more decency and better
sense than we had 20 years ago.
There should be legislation, neverthe-
less, along the lines wanted by Senator
Nye, though probably not so extreme. It
is hardly possible under a capitalistic sys-
tenn to take "all the profit" out of war
industries, and might not be advisable if
it were. Human nature being what it is
under the profit system, perhaps there
should be some profit to insure ample pro-
due ion But that profit, whether for in
dustry or agriculture or middle men,
should be in no case more than normal,
and should be as much below normal
profit rates as can be justified by patri-
otism and abnormal volume of orders.

Press Comment
SELLING Inv CoNNECTICUT
(Hartford Times)


Connecticut at last is to have an
official publicity commission. The
purpose is to attract visitors, per-
M nent residents and new business
to the state.
: some years there have been
efforts in tbs direction. They have
been defeated by a typically Con-
necticut conservative feeling that
advertising is not proper func-
ton of government and the proper
use for state funds.
This objection was met in the
g,5lature of 1885 by securing the
appointment ia commission
which will have standing as a
state body but it will work only
with funds contributed by individ-
uals and corporations.
Connection. Is but following the
example of many other common
wealths. We believe all the other
New England states have publicity
bureaus in some form or another.
supported by public funds.
There is undeniably useful
field for such activity. The only
question AS whether it should be
public or civic, financed out of
public funds or out Of funds con-
tributed by those who benefit most
largely AMI most directly.
Connecticut has considerable to
advertise. 1t has not the spectacu-
lar attractions of some of the
northern New England states. 1t
has no WI tie Mountains. no great
Stone Face. Its mountains are not
as high as those of Vermont. It
has no ocean surf bathing.
avsrtheless Connecticut is a
pleasant place. It offers boundless
opportunity for the seeker after
rest and recreation as well as res
idence sites carrying much appeal.
We do not dispute the wisdom of
t.4e legislature in deciding against
the use of public funds. Neverthe-
less we welcome the fact that a
commission has been set up which
will have this work for a definite
and formally l.. ,gnized acticity.
Under the leadership of Willard
b. Rogers, a veteran promoter OF
Connecticut and New England at
fractions, : Thomas C. Perkins,
as exec utive secretary. the commits
sion will be a virile and active
body. 1t may accomplish much.

Condemnation Seems Only Sure Means of

to Be Improved
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR

Nobody likes slums. The fed
eral. circuit court at Cincinnati does
not like slums, even though two
of it's three members have just
ruled that the federal government
has no power to condemn land for
low-cost housing projects. The
court held that the specific act OF
the government in dealing with
slums was unconstitutional; as for
the slums themselves, why, no
doubt they could betaken care of
in some other way.
The difficulty in the situation is
to find the other way.
Langdon w. Post, New York city
housing authority, declares that
you cannot assemble large plots
of land for housing without con-
demnation."
And Judge Florence Allen, who
disagreed with her two colleagues
in this case, remarked in her dis
senting opinion, THE problem Of
slum elimination throughout the
nation lies within the domain
which the individual states cannot

reach, and over which congress
alone has power"
1t would be unwise for any lay
man to commenton the legal as
poets for this decision when there
is every prospect that it will be
carried to the supreme court for
final settlement. But meanwhile it
is possible to discuss certain re-
lated matters. Very likely, for ex-
ample, the federal government has
not exhausted the possibility of
local condemnation proceedings be-
fore engaging in the business it.
self. For example, New York city
has found no trouble in, acquiring
title to the necessary property for
itse $12,00O,000 Williamsburg hous-
ing project, through local con-
demnation proceedings. Perhaps
this opens a way to remove slum s.
Secretary Ickes at any rate says he
will push forward the $249, 900, 600
federal public works program by
this and other means.
Nevertheless, despite this assur-
ance, it seemsfairly obvious that
a serdious obstacle has been thrown
in the way of one more proposal
new deal reform.
There is almost certain to be
some political effect from this lat
est adverse court ruling. The
question seems to be asked increas-
ingly, Is it the irresponsibility of
the new deal itself, or is it the at
tempt to run a modern industrial
state by the charter of an earlier
age, which is bringing the admin
istration its repeated court buff
fets?
Meanwhile, on this specific is
sue of housing, two additional facts
are worth noting: 1t seems to be
fairly well established. in the first
place, that America has Jagged be-
hind other big countries in deal
ing with slums; and, second. that
condemnation procedure in foreign
countries england, for example,
Use so much more drastic than any
thing now found in the United
Statesthat the supreme court
would call the procedure uncon-
stitutional in no time, although
the English people seem to take
the matter very calmly, and have
lived comfortably under it for a
long time.
