 As WATR's first anniversary draws nearer, it seems extremely difficult that it is 12 months since those days of feverish ex- citement when Waterbury's first permanent radio station went on the air x. It was only last spring that we looked on and played u minor part in those all-important tests which preceded WATR's bow as Connecticut's new station The real thrill of the stations first official day on the air is one that time won't dim very easily And TOW. the time is at hand when WATR completes full year of genuinely valuable community ser vice, a year in which 1t has most certainly lived up to its title of "The Voice of Waterbury"

said that the bill now contains lab
sOlutely unworkable" amendments.
Rushing back to the Capitol, Buch-
anan attempted to get the Houses
unanimous consent to reject the 81
amendments and send the bill to an
immediate conference with the Senate
for adjusting differences.
But Representative Johnson, Demo-
crat, Texas, objected, and Buchanan
said further House action before to-
morrow was impossible.
While Byrns and Buchanan were at
the White House, more than 80 House
silver supporters agreed to demand
acceptance of the Senate amendments
so the bill could go directly to the
President, as now written.
Their objective was adoption of the
silver initiation amendment by Sem
ator Thomas, Democrat, Oklahoma
Few members were present when
Buchanan attempted to get unani-
nous consent to consider the matter
at once.
Off the floor, Buchanan described
the bill as amended by the Senate
as "all in conflict a hodgepodge. a.

understand the why's and wherefores
of it, but certainly not the generality

IT'S CONFUSING
Consider the nature of the contro-
versy between Johnson and the Rev.
Charles E. Coughlin and Senator Huey
P. Long-a triangular affair until
Richberg, breaking in, turned it in
to quadrangle.
When General johnson attacked
Father Coughlin and Senator Long in
vitroilic language, it was the con-
sensus in Washington that he was
inspired by the administration to do
So He took the administration part,
anyway.
Now comes Richberg, so prominent
an administration personality that he
frequently is referred to as the "as-
sistant president" with a denuncia-
ton of the dispute as a "shouting,
raging fand coarse vituperation of
passionate politics.
"DEFENDER" CRITICIZED
Had Richberg limited himself to term
ing Father Coughlin's and Senator
Longs utterances raging, coarse and
vituperative' it would have been com
prehensible, whether or not judicious,
for the reverend father and the Louis
lana senator undeniably are opposed
to administration measures, although
Father Coughlin has once more as
serted his support of Presinent Roose-
delt
Even SO, Richberg die not turn on
the administrations critics. He pan

ministrations defender.

terests" against the people
There are senators who assert
rightly or wrongly that they go into
fundamental questions far deeper
than the Rev. Charles E. Coughlin.
There are senators who agree with
Father Coughlin thoroughly on other
matters, but who honestly do not con-
cur with him on all his money views,
although they, too, believe in govern
ment not private control of credit
They say they have a right to follow
their own consciences, that they be-
lieve they are serving the interests of
the people with the highest degree
of fidelity. They would go even fur
ther on social and labor reforms than
Father Coughlin advocates.
Yet there are efforts to gang
these senators along with the remain
der. Although they are good Amer
leans, always alert for the rights of
the people.
