7 RIP ENJOYED
BYPRES|DENT

ABOARD U. S. s. HOUSTON,
Oct. S G.NSO.-Enjoying ideally
warm weather, President Roose-
velt and his party were pushing
southwark today for another pc
riod of deep-sea fishing around
Cape San Lucas on the tip Of
Lower California.
The President, displaying a
healthy glow as a result of his
constant exposure to the sun,
fished for several hours in Mag
dalena Bay yesterday and had
fair luck.
A Mexican gun boat passed
while Mr.. Roosevelt was fishing
and dipped its flag in salute to
the Houston and its convoy, the
cruiser Portland.
Mr.. Roosevelt has been receiv-
ing constant radio reports on the
Italo- Ethiopian situation and has
been holding conferences on do
mestic problems with Secretary of
the Interior Ickes and WPA Ad-
miniStrator Hopkins.

Premier Baldwin flatly contri
dicted Mussolini's statement, made
in London and Paris newspaper

known Italy's African intentions

PROCLAMATION
DUET0DAY0N
NEUTRALITY
Rules Are Established
For Licensing All
Arms Dealers
international News Service

A Presidential proclamation that
war exists between Italy and Eth
iopia was momentarily expected
here today, and will signal formal
operation Of this Nations new
Neutrality Act placing an embargo
on the shipment of arms and mu-
nitions to the two belligerents.
The proclamation may come
early today, before the League Of
Nations Council meets in Geneva,
or officials may deem it advisable
to await some pronouncement by
the Council.
Reports Sent to President
Secretary of State Hull and
other State Department chiefs
carefully scanned incoming reports
on the conflict, and as carefully
forwarded all reports to President
Roosevelt aboard the cruiser
Houston, in the Pacific.
Regulations to govern the manu-
facturerS, importers and ex-
porters of arms and munitions in
this country during peacetime
were laid down by the State De-
partment. While these rules and
regulations had no direct relation
ship with the expected formal EN-.
barge, their announcement at
this time was considered a signif-
icant step.
Licensing Established
Technically, they embodied the
permanent licensing system con-
templated under section two of
the neutrality act.
The regulations specified that
before November 90, or after that
before engaging in new business,
manufacturers, exporters of i'm
porters of arms, ammunition and
implements of war must register
with the Department. There was
nothing in the rules and regula-
tionS that would permit the Gov
ernment to refuse licenses to any
making formal application. That
is a function provided for when
ever a state of war is proclaimed
by the President, and covered un-
der section one, or the formal en-
barge provisions OF the neutrality
act. --
Imposition of the formal EN-
barge was considered inevitable
here, but whether it will come to
day, or later during the weekend,
was not determined.

We See Daylight

Connecticut seems about to reconcile herself to the fact that daylight saving time is an established fact and not merely fad or fancy of the day. When the sum- mer time schedule was first proposed ln the United States some fourteen years ago the rural representation in our Legls- lature was so strong that it proceeded to place the state on record as blessing the advanced time with one hand while chas- Using it with the other. As result we have been one of .the few states enjoying daylight time, but refusing to recognize il publicly.
 A good many citizens never knew the real reason why all public clocks in Coi- necticut during the daylight saving time period displayed standard time. The law compelled the owners of the timepieces to do this It was illegal to make public display of daylight time. And now the Judiciary committee itself has raised bill repeating the Connecticut statutes on pub- lie display of standard .time And both the House and Senate seem to be as ore in saying the bill will pass.
 Back in 1921 the bill came out of the House, passed very convincingly there and apparently doomed to defeat in the Senate But John N Brooks of Torring- ton proved too persuasive for his fellow senators and the bill much to the surprise of all was passed and duly became part of Connecticut statute law. It has sur vived several attempts to toss it out until this year Now it seems foredoomed to go with the ruralites for the first time m many year showing an inclination to side with the cosmopolitan minority Won ders will never cease

Motorcycles

Motorcycling as sport is reviving, dealers say. The depression seems to have been good for it. In 1928 there were 63 motorcycle clubs with 5000 members. Now the American Motorcycle Association has 40 clubs with $500 members. They have enthusiasm, national magazine and a motion picture library. And speed ! They are having races again. And ordin- ary motorists, who have seen them flash by like meteors when merely going about their ordinary business, can't help wor- dering how fast they go when they're racing.
 Another thing automobilists wonder about, too. That is, why there appears to be no legal speed limit for this class of death defiers, as there is for four wheeled vehicles. No matter what speed the rest of us are making, they always shoot past about twice as fast. And mo- body ever seems to do anything about 1t. Perhaps that's the natural chumminess of motor cyclists; the cycle cop doesn't like to bother his own kind. Or maybe all motorcycles are uncatchable, even by other motorcycles.

supported by buttresses. It would have large vanes at the top to catch the wind and create whirl of air inside, with an upward suction. The principle would ne that of the waterspout, which by rapid whirling creates a partial vacuum inside, and draws water up from the bottom.
 The idea, it will be seen, presupposcs plenty of water below to draw the mols- ture from, and so would only be feasible in an arid region if there were under ground reservoirs. Injected into the up- per air, it would be expected to spread around, cool and produce rainfall over an area of several hundred square miles. Such a project as he described, says MT Dubos, is Gas feasible as the Empire State build- ing" People will believe that when they see it working.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-05-11

Much is being made of the fact that Waterbury seeks to have it specifically stated in it's strong-mayor charter that aldermen shall be recompensed for their services at the rate of $100 year. The Hartford Courant claims that this isn't pay, but merely gift. That's probably true enough. The pay that city should give any legislative body should certainly be commensurate with the work per- formed and we know that $100 never equalled the work of any of our aldermen, whose attendance at meetings alone is sufficient proof of interest in the city and it's welfare. However, in view of the fact that the office is not particularly one to which the person desirous of adding to his income is called we think that the S100 item should be sufficient to cover some personal expenses that any individual $ bound to incur in assuming responsibil- ity of this type.

A Book a Day
Tells How China Met Crisis In The Past
By BRUCE CAPTION

China's amazing capacity for survival is stressed in "The Four Hundred Million by Mary A. Nourse
 This book, subtitled "A short History of the Chinese" tells China's story from the legend wreathed prehistoric past to the present moment; and when you read it you are deeply impressed by the way in which that sprawl ing nation has met crisis after cri. sis and surmounted disaster after disaster
 Is China splitting apart today in. to independent principalities under robber barons? The same thing happened before-'way back in the days before London and Paris had taken shape-and the Chinese found their way out of the mess.
 Is the land being overrun by foreign conquerors? That. too, has happened before. Genghis Khan conquered China and set up his own dynasty, and it sank out of sight. The Manchus conquered China and set up their dynasty and it. too, vanished. Will the Japanese be any different?
 Time seems to fight. for the Chi nese; time and a strange, irresist- tible momentum arising from a tremendous national vitality. Look ing at the present situation in the light of Chinese history, you get the feeling that four or five cen- turies hence this crisis will be recorded as just another incident in a long, long story.
 This book makes very interesting reading. Chinese history is an un- familiar story to most Americans. It's we'll worth study.
 Published by Bobbs-Merrill, the book sells for $3.50.

Rain Tube

Scientists continue, in spite of failures, 10 devise schemes for controlling or pro- ducing rainfall. The old bombing idea, based on the tradition of rain always fol- lowing battles, has been generally aban- <Ioned. So has the scattering of dust by airplanes, which had brief vogue few years ago on the theory that every tiny rain drop forms around dust particle. The latest plan, brought to America by Bernard D. Dubos, a member of the Meteorological Society of France. would use huge tube about 2,000 feet high to force water vapor into the upper air and produce rainfall over large sreas.
 This tube would be about 4b0 feet wide aI the top and narrower at the bottom, having tle general shape of telescope,

A Thought for Today
Score One For Culhane

Termed the greatest one-man legisla- tive victory in recent years, passage ot the Culhane bill wiping out all bank receiverships in this state, is surely a feather in the cap of the local legislator serving his first term in the Senate. Aud there is merit to the measure, so much so, that it has won popular support Ill every part of the state. It is a move in the direction pointed out by some of the abest jurists of Connecticut months ago in their dealings with various bank receiverships.
 Waterbury should be proud of the fight that Senator Culhane made to keep his bill before the Legislature. It seemed doomed to be defeated after it came out of con- mittee, but thanks to the inspired leader ship of it's sponsor was saved. Even last minute .effort to sidetrack it was made III the House yesterday when it was proposed that the bill apply only to those banks that might close in the future That would have entirely killed the effectiveness of the Culhane bill, which is aimed at re- ceiverships now in existence.
 Into the hands of the State Bank Con- missioner is now entrusted the care of all closed banks. A goodly proportion of them will probably be closed up as soon as complete liquidation can be completed, That is one of the purposes of the meas ure. It was proposed to put an end to re- ceiverships from which individuals and corporations were deriving sums of vari- GUS sizes as fees for maintaining the leceivership. All this naturally is at the expense of the depositor, who is assured in some instances that the longer the re- ceivership, the better the chance of get ting back 100 per cent on his deposit.
 We have no personal criticism of any bank receivership but we do think that the figures that Senator Culhane has pre- sented to show the cost of maintaining them right here in Connecticut is sutii- cient evidence of the need of turning them over to the State Bank Commissioner who may speedily terminate them or cause the closed institutions to be immediately re- opened as he sees fit. We feel sure that Waterbury is going to rejoice with Sen ator Culhane in his notable legislative ac- complishment

It was with regret that we read yester- day of the injury to Vincent Richards that may end his tennis career. Shortly after the rise of Mclaughlin and John- ston, Richards began to be heard of as a boy prodigy on the courts. Tilden was in the background at the time, slowly gath ering his forces until he was to become the supreme master of them all. Rich ards flashed like the comet" from Call fornia that Mclaughlin was. There IS no doubt but what he could have become the greatest tennis player of all time, had he put the determination and effort into the game as did Tilden.
