OF KYLE SCHOOL FOR BOYS
 KILLED HIMSELF
Dr Paul Kyle, 7S, Shot Himself-He Was Fac
 ing Criminal Libel

Irvington-on H udson, N. Y., May S,-tUP).-A few hours before he. was to have appeared in a criminal libel suit in New York city, DrE Paul Kyle, 7S, founder and heads master of the Kyle School for Boys, shot mad killed himself to-s day.
 pr Kyle had been free on $500 bail on the complaint of Mrs Catherine Harris, SS. That he had written her 25 letters requesting her to marry him, and that some of the letters were defamatory.
 Early last month, Metropolitan newspapers received anonymous telephone calls that pr Kyle had disappeared, probably to commit suicide. Later that day, he tele- phoned his school that he was all right, and that he had a suspicion of the identity of the "hoaxer."
 6S Years As Teacher
 The veteran educator would have completed 5s years as aE teacher this fall. Among his for- mer pupils at various institutions were ogden Mills, Cornelius van-l derbilt, Gen Tasker H. Bliss. Adj miral George Converse and Mrs Frederick W. Vanderbilt.
 Mrs Harris was in court when Kyle killed himself. He used q shotgun and stood on the lawn in front of the school.
 Friends of the elderly educator said he had been worried over diminishing attendance at his school. In 1929 the enrolment was SC. This dwindled to less than l 5 this spring and few days ago, it. was said, the last of the pupils transferred to other institutions.
 Dr Kyle came to the United States in 1882 from Sandershausen. Germany.

Cambridge, Mass, May S.-lUPJ-Austn Fish, 37-year-old engineer, is irked by the snick CTS he sometimes hears when he signs his name "A Fish" He has asked the courts permission to drop the "Fish" and use merely his first and middle names, Austin Maxwell But Fish is a fine old name, his mother, Mrs L. J. Fish Edgar ton, maintains, and she is opposing his petition. A better idea, she suggests, would be for him to transpose his middle and surnames, thus signing himself Austin Fish Maxwell.

 Berlin, May UP)-Germany started building military airplanes a year ago after first gearing fac tories to wartime pitch. it was said on reliable authority today.
 General Hermann Goering, min ister of aviation and leader of the new military air force, is credited with the plan under which Ger many has been able to present Europe, as an accomplished fact, with powerful military air force.
 Everything Secret
 The plan was, according to re-. liable informants, to prepare ev- erything secretly in advance. Types of planes were decided upon on the basis of charts and models. Then factories were expanded, or built, with equipment made specially for production of such planes. Air port construction was started, in- cluding hangars.
 At the start of the, actual pro- gram of construction, eit was said, some airplane parts were complete, ready for assembly, but these were believed in we'll informed circles

 Practical politicians rec ognize in Father Charles E. Coughlin's national program the same strategy which enabled the late Wayne B. Wheeler to write prohibition into the United States Con- stitution.
 Whether the Detroit priest will be so successful as Wheeler in corralling congressional votes re- mains to be seen. That will depend on the effectiveness of his organ ization.
 But the strategy is obvious. As stated by Father Coughiin, 1t is to compel every candidate for house or senate to endorse certain poh- cies in exchange for support of the national union for social justice which is to have unit in every state.

Not Fully Understood

We don't believe that Americans fully
understand the blight that is destroying
hundreds of elm trees annually. One OF the
foremost authorities on trees, Charles
Lathrop Pack president of the American
\ Tree Association, states that the disease
can be compared to the one that wiped
the chestnut tree out OF existence. Ihat
certainly should be plainly understood
right here in New England where the
chestnut was once proud monarch IN tne
tree world.
There is only one way to end the Dutch
elm disease. That is by complete eradlca
ton of the affected tree. To date the pest
efforts of science have failed to discover
any remedy for the blight that strikes at
the trees silently yet fatally Ofte n Ine
disease is not discovered for months. bu.
the end is inevitable. The tree is doomed
once the disease so much as touches 1t.
And to battle It the nation has enlisted
puny little band of men.
We know how quickly the chestnuts
vanished from this continent. Should not
that be a lesson to us to redouble our ell
forts to prevent similar fate being, met
ed out to the elms, many OF them Closely
linked with the history and traditions OF
our country. What would the disappear
ance of Waterbury's elms or New haven
ar those Of other towns in this state
mean? If anyone had any feelings of local
pride or sentiment, they would be deeply,
arieved by any such catastrophe And well
might such feelings arise.
We have been warned about the eXtlnc-
lion of various birds and animals OF re-
cent years. just as worthy of attention
from the several governments is TINS
disease threatening our elms. We cannot
afford to wait until the blight has mad
chance to get into every section where
elms grow. We must act now to wipe out
the diseased trees and thus cut down the
chances Of spread. Whatever efforts MADE
10 date are commendatory, but nothing
compared to what the federal and state
governments should actually do.

One of the greatest traffic perils is the
man or woman who sticks an arm out OF
the window, points to the left - and turns
to the right Hundreds of collisions have
been caused by driver behind assuming,
naturally enough, that the signaller meant
it. Too many motorists seem to have a
notion that when they are going to make
any change in their own course or speed,
all they need do is to stick out their LETT
hand and make any old kind of gesture,
expecting drivers behind to read their
minds. 1t is even worse than that.
The head of big automobile club OBJ
serves that, when driver extends his left
arm and does something or other with his
hand, he may be removing the ash from
his cigar, or feeling whether it's raining,
or pointing out the scenery to Aunt Ida,
or merely stretching. Nothing is more
needed in motor traffic than a good, sim
pie sign-language code for drivers. 1t
would help, too, if traffic policemen had a
clear, uniform signal code, and were thor
oughly trained in it. Often accidents &C.
cur or traffic is tied up because drivers
can't understand what the traffic MEN
mean by their motions.

The agreement arrived at by Great
Britain and Germany regarding their
navies is unusual BY this bilateral pact
Germany is to be allowed navy with 80
per cent of the tonnage and strength OF
Britain's, except for submarines In that
class she will have lat least as per cent
of the British strength, with possibility
Of parity if that can be arrived at through
asfriendly understanding" Both govern
ments express the hope that this arrange
ment will lead to general agreement
among the world powers.
It is obviously better if there can be an
all-round treaty, on the lines of the Wash
ington naval pact of the Harding admin
istration, which worked admirably for
decade. Other powers, especially America
and France, will not like the flexibility OF
the present Bfitish-German submarine
pIan. After the experience of the World
War. the sea powers want no more sub
marine menace of the sort.
Whatever is done by other powers, and
whatever new treaties are arranged, the
United States will doubtless hold TO the
general policy Of building and keeping our
navy up 10 the strength of Bsitain's and

could ride all the way to Woodbury.. That
line is gone. So is the Green Line to Mar

still continue in operation. But their
demise can be predicted when so impor-

Governor Well Advised

Governor Wilbur L. Cross probably
d;dn't have to be told that the bill calling
for establishment of three teachers col
leres in this state was an effort to retain
the present normal schools that are
scheduled to go out of existence or TO Pc
come an entirely different type OF instltu-
tion within a year or so. The bill calling
for establishment was vetoed by the gov
ernor last week and he very popularity
suggested that the matter be given the
serious consideration it richly deserves.
There has been plenty OF discussion
since the state made the normal school IN
New Britain a teachers college. There
was open and yelled charges, but never
theless the institution in New Britain Is
proving It's worth and will continue TO 40
40. However, that does not salve the
wounds of those who see in the hailowea
institutions at Danbury, New Haven, ana
Willimantic many more years OF faithtul
training. Dropping them isn't going TO De
as easy as imagined. ~. -,
But Governor Cross is quite right IN
shving from four teachers colleges TOT
this state. That number is not needed un-
less a pretty thorough survey proves the
contrary. And right now there IS conclu-
sive evidence before us that what TINS
state needs more than anything else Is
contraction, not expansion. we say this
with a hearty recognition for the future
of the state from educational STANDPOINT
Governor Cross claims that the bill set
ting up the new colleges also set up
curricula. This is not legislative work.

Secondly, we, as Marxists. know

unemployment due to new machin-

monopolistic tendencies Of the big
