AUNT LEVISA'S MONEY
BIZ WICKES WAMBOLDT

Aunt Levisa's husband died and
left her a fortune. Aunt Levisa
had no children; but she had sew
eral nephews and nieces who
would logically fall heir to what
ever she might leave.
Some of the nephews and nieces
began to think seriously about the
"heir" business, particularly COus-
in Eta.
Eta set out deliberately and
persistently to win Aunt Levisa's
favor; and to inch other prospec-

THE WAGNER BILL

Most significant news of yesterday was President
Roosevelt's signing of the Wagner labor disputes
BILL aimed at eradicating labor strife by giving or
ganized labor the upper hand in all industries 1t
is pretty theory, but of doubtful value 1t is an
other step in the direction of centralized federal
control over American industries.
The Wagner bill is not grounded on constitution
al rights, 1t gives one group of the advantage
over the lives of others, thus curtailing the liberty
of the latter-a condition that is definitely un-
sound
This bill is dangerous legislative implement.
We only hope that the supreme court will not be
long in acting upon this BILL that quick test suit
will be instituted and carried through to the high
est tribunal, where its ability to stand the test is

z HOLDUP MEN
ELUDE POLICE

After a holdup at Sixteenth
and M SITS. N. w., early today,
two young white men escaped
by exchanging cabs and eluded
police in traffic, a stones throw
from police headquarters.
With drawn guns, the robbers
stopped Cecil B. Dickson, 1900
block of Sixteenth st. N. w., and
robbed him of $11 in cash and a
SIS watch. The robbers then
took a taxi and drive to Fiji
tenth and K SITS. N. w., where
they changed to a second cab.
Police trailed the second cab to
Seventh and D SITS. N. w., where
the men got out and escaped in
traffic.

D.C.ZOO BOASTS
BABY LLAMA

Born Wednesday, Alice, the
baby llama, pranced unsteadily
around on her long, slim legs and
shifted inquisitively at the
camera.
Her ears, instead of standing up
straight, curled back over her lit
tie head, to the embarrassment of
Head Keeper William H. Black
burn, who wanted to show off his
"baby to best advantage.
Alice's mother kept grooming
anxiously to her child while the
photographer was taking pictures.
Her gentle brown eyes watched
every move and whenever Alice
got too far away she trotted at.
ter her and gently pushed her
into a corner.
They made a pretty picture.
The baby, it's legs still wobbly,
snuggled up to it's mother in the
way babies do regardless of
whether they are human or ami
NAL, and the mother was always
on the alert to guard her little
one from harm.
The llama is a species of camel
which comes from the mountain
Gus regions of Peru, Bolivia and
Ecuador. It is considered very
valuable, not only because it sup
plies meat, wool and hide, but be-
cause it can transport supplies
over difficult mountain passes.
It's hoofs, similar to those of the
goat, clutch the rocky hillsides
with ease, and it is capable Of
carrying a hundred pounds.
Those fine wool shawls grand
mother wears come from the
llama, and the peasants who dwell
high up the chilly Andes find the
wool invaluable for winter cloth
ing.

IN BOND PROBE

Implication that an attorney
representing minority bond hold
ers in the Wardman and May
flower financial reorganization
litigations acted unethica1ly was
made today by Representative
Francis Culkin (R.) of New York,
as the special House committee
investigating bondholders' commit
tees activities began it's probe in
to Washington transactions.
The attorney so criticized was
Joseph Lowe, who declared he had
become connected with both cases
with a philanthropic purpose, al
though finally he filed an estimate
of claim for $4,000 as a result of
work he had done in the May
flower case.
In the Wardman case, he ex-
plined, he represented another at
torney, Harold Smaller. He said
Mr.. Smaller had purchased several
thousand dollars worth of the
Wardman bonds after the bonds
had become distressed, paying
from IS to 80 cents on the dol
lar.
Committee counsel attempted to
bring out that Mr.. Lowe joined
with the present District Attorney,
Leslie Garnett, and two other law
yers representing Wardman bond
holders to threaten to continue
litigation against the reorganiza-
ton plan of the majority bond
holders unless these minority
bond holders were paid some $780,
900 for the $4,000 worth Of de-
valued securities they held.

MOTHERS AIDED
IN BABY CARE
MARGARET sLOCUM

Somewhere in the city a little
baby looks listlessly at its food
and turns away. Mothers coax
ing fails to win the youngster to
it's meal. Finally baby cries, and
mother spends an anxious day.
She can't afford a doctor.
Then comes a sudden recollec-
ton that Washington has a way
to help in such cases. Shortly
thereafter mother and baby ap-
pear at one of the II stations
of the District Child Hygiene
Service scattered throughout the
city.
There a mother can find out
what is ailing baby.
Miss Edith Aldridge, supervis-
ing nurse of the service, said the
clinics always are we'll attended,
varying from 80 to 40 babies
each week at each station. Not
a single week passes, she said,
without a conference" at each
station.
DR.. Hugh ]. Davis is in charge
of the service.

FEW RESPOND
To CALL FOR
NALkOUT
"Maior Disturbance" Planned
for Local Campuses Today
Proves Flop

With the exception of a hand
full of students from George
Washington University, and How
ard University the threatened
school strike in Washington,
scheduled for today in protest
against war, fizzled out COM
pletely.
Crestfallen radicals, who had
anticipated a major disturbance,
walked mournfully about the
various university and school
campuses here today, utterly de-
feated in their attempts to stir
up interest in their scheme for a
general walkout.
Representative Maury Maverick
3D. of Texas, scheduled to ad-
dress a group of school strikers at
George Washington University,
called off his engagement when
informed school officials would not
permit speeches on the school CON-
mon.
Take 1t as Joke
According to DR.. Cloyd Heck
Marvin, president of the univer-
sity, only $50 students walked out
at the appointed hour. Of this
number, DR.. Marvin said, about
half walked out las a joke"
DR.. William B. West, dean of
men at Howard University, re.
ported that approximately $50 stu
dents walked out of their classes.
They were addressed in the school
gymnasium by Howard C. West
wood, former secretary to Justice
Harlan Stone.
DR.. Marvin said most Of the
students at George Washington
were opposed to war, but they
were equally opposed to the
methods suggested by their radi-
cal leaders in dealing with the
problem.
Little Interest
From various academic institu.
lions trickled reports that little
or no interest" was shown in the
proposed demonstration. stephen
E. Kramer, assistant superinten-
dent of schools stated:
"NOt a single walkOut has
been reported to me today. Con-
ditiOnS are normal"
Counteracting the anti.war
demonstration here was a patri-
otto assembly staged by students
of Roosevelt High School in their
assembly hall this morning.

SEN. GIBSON
ASKS NATIONAL
AIRPORT HERE
Author of Landing Field Bill
Seeks Commissioners Views;
Favors GraveIIy Point

Construction Of a national"
airport, half of the cost to be
borne by the Federal Government,
was advocated today by Senator
Ernest w. Gibson (R.) Of Yer
mont.
Comforting with the District
commissioners, the Senator said
he will make a tour Of available
airport sites with the Commits
sioners next week.
Senator Gibson is the author
Of bill already introduced in
the Senate to this effect. A SINH
lar bill is pending before a sub
committee of the House District
Committee under the guidance
of Representative Howard w.
Smith Cd, of Virginia.
Will Study Question
Senator Gibson said today he
was going to go into the whole
matter with the District Com
missioners to find out just how
they stood on the matter. He de-
cldred:
Il have had several confer.
ences with Senator Harry F.
Byrd on this proposition and to-
day I am comforting with the
District Commissioners.
II want to find what is back
of this whole thing and if I
find out that anyone is push
ing any particular site for mer.
cenary reasons I am going to
see that it is stopped. I'm not
going to permit anyone to put
anything over on the Govern.
ment.
POINT SITE FAVORED
81 have kept an open mind
on this proposition, but so far
I think the Gravelly Point site
is the best. After have had
my conference with the Com
misSiOnerS I will again confer
with Senator Byrd. We will
then map out a plan to go into
each of the sites and find out
who is back of them and why.
I'm the meantime am 60
ing to have a look at all the
sites proposed and see just what
are the advantages and disad.
vantageS of each and which one
will give the Nations Capital
the best airport in the world.
That is the goal at which am
shooting"
SMITH BILL HELD UP
Action on Represe tive
Smiths bill on the House side is
being held up pending the print
ing of the hearings held by the
subcommittee.
When the report on the bill
was submitted recently to the full
committee, Representative Smith
objected to it's consideration I'M
til the record of the hearings had
been furnished the members so
that they would have all the data.
The House subcommittee rec
commended that a commission be
appointed to study the whole sit
uation and in it's report declared
it did not believe Gravelly Point
would make a suitable airport.

FLOODED
WITH LETTERS
IN CONTEST
One Writer Urges Repeal Of
Marriage Clause in Four
StanZaS of Verse

One of the most unusual letters
yet submitted in the marriage
clause" contest sponsored by The
Washington Times was received to-
day from the pen of Liza B. Mon
cure, 1900 block of Hamlin st.
N. E., who advocated repeal of
section 213 of the economy act in
a. missive entirely in verse.
Miss Moncure, who describes
herself as a niece" of Uncle Sam,
composed a four stanZa letter, an
except of which ran as follows:
"Dear Uncle Sammy:
"What have I done? They
told me that two could live
cheaply as one. Two can live,
yes, that doesn't mean four. Not
that we minded a bit being poor.
I wanted a SON and daughter,
too. A daughter for life; sol
dier for yOu."
DEADLINE WEDNESDAY
Miss Concure's epistle is only
one of the numerous letters con-
testants are pouring in each day
as the contest deadline, midnight
of next Wednesday, draws nearer.
A concisely written statement by
"Ebwell," was also re eived today
in which the author de- ,,'ibed both
sides of the marriage question but
generally thought that section 213
is unfair.
Miss Esther Penn, secretary of
the American Federation of Gov
eminent Employees, at whose sug-
gestion the contest was inaugu-
rated, today will give a luncheon
for members of the panel of
judges whom she has invited to
select the winning letters.
Petition to Congress
Members of the panel an
nounced thus far include Miss
Stella Akin, assistant to the At
torney General, Miss Elizabeth
Christman, ecretary Of the
Women's Trade Union League,
Mrs. Margaret Hopkins Worrell,
president of the League of Amer
lean Civil Service, Mrs. Maude
Anderson, secretary of the A. F,
G. E. Internal Revenue Lodge,
and Miss Mary Manningly, presi-
dent of the Sodaity Union, a
well-known Catholic leader.
Following conclusion of the con-
test Miss Penn has suggested that
the letters be gathered into a
memorial, which would be pre-
sented to each of the women
members of Congress. as a form
for repeal or amendment of the
act. Endorsement of Section 213,
however, will not affect a con-
testant's chance for a prize.
Prizes for the winning letters
will consist Of six season tickets to
the spring season of the National
Theater Players, donated through
the courtesy of Stephen E. Coch-
ran, manager of the National
Theater, and in addition the next
best 10 letters will bring their
authors two seats each to the
opening performance April 20, in
which Nancy Sheridan and Roy
Roberts will be starred in accent
on Youth"
Persons intending to compete
for prize tickets are urged to sub
NIT their letters, describing their
thoughts on section 213, as soon as
possible, inasmuch as but five rays
remain before the curtain fails.
The letters, either for or against
the measure, should be brief, and
will be judged for the thought con-
tanned rather than the literary
style.
Letters should be addressed to
Miss Ester Penn, secretary, Ameri-

ton Times, Washington, D. c. A

The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-10-09

Continued from Page 1.) when the stations report @ reduc- ton in the number of cars checked daily.
 Largest Number Saturday
 Last Saturday, MT. Lumpkin said, the total number inspected for the half-day's work was 494,. the larg- est number in any corresponding period since the station was estab- ished. Most of the heavy trafiic at the lane has been on Sat- urday morning, apparently because drivers find 1t more convenient to come on that day.
 While the total number of cars checked here since the opening of the station had passed 16,000 early last week, many of those included in this figure were "re-checks," that is. cars which had been brought back for second inspection after failure to pass.
 Half to Be Inspected
 It is estimated, therefore, that nearly half of the 10000 cars regis tered in the Waterbury area must still be inspected. Drivers are ap- bearing from towns ip the vicinity of the city in response to the sum- monses, but none had been received here up to today.
