gan. Your advice Is requester con- cerning the preparation of the monthly publication, which will carry our bulletin title The Con- necticut Democrat registration of which is now being sought to pro- tect the name for party use. Ad- vertising in the monthly magazine will be sought only in such amount as will defray the actual publica- ton expenses. No leaf will be talk en from the republican party's &C., tivities of 1884 in publishing a monthly magazine for profit. neither will any undue influence be used on commercial houses to se- cure their advertising"
 :. Commenting for general publica- tion MT Greene said that the weekly mimeographed bulletin had been received with so much favor by individual members of the party that State Chairman J. Francis Smith felt an official monthly party organ, sponsored by the democratic state central committee, would be even better received and appre- ciated. Sanction of the state cen- tral committee will be sought by the state chairman before the initial publication of the contem- plated monthly magazine. The im- mediate circulation of the paper is expected to reach 2,000 and be augmented as additional party members seek to subscribe. Ac- cording to the plans for it the Connecticut Democrat will be frankly a party paper and not seek general public acceptance as an in- dependent publication.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-01-24

In view of the official records that the city of Waterbury Is pay ing the expense of some 300 resi- dents of state institutions involved directly or indirectly in con- troversy in legislative circles. local city officials are watching with in- terest anticipated developments. Dr Roy l.. Leak, superintendent or the Connecticut State hospital at Middletown appeared before the appropriations committee of the general assembly in Hartford yes- terday afternoon in support of his recommendation for $20.000 with which to purchase medical equip ment and furnishings for the Fair field State hospital at Newtown. Dr Leak Is temporarily in charge of this new unit of the states hos- pital system for the insane. At present 500 patients are in the Newtown hospital. The city of Waterbury has six residing there at its expense.
 300 City Patients
 Waterbury has 137 patients at Middletown, 12O at the Norwich State hospital and 50 on It's list at Mansfield. There are many other Waterbury patients In these insti- tutions, but the expense Is being borne by relatives.
 Of local interest also Is the state ment that the Griffenhagen asso- ciates over the protest of Dr Leak recommended two years ago Q re- duction in budgets for the state hospitals Dr Leak openly resented their claims at that particular time. The Griffenhagen associates con- ducted the survey here at the time of the revision of the city charter. There was plenty of resentment To- cally over the recommendation made.
 Large Deficit Expected
 Dr Leak asked for a deficiency of $1S0,000 for the Middletown hospital, stating that tho amount was due almost en- tirely to the drastic cut made two years ago. He has found it impossi- ble to meet the institution's payroll.
 No appropriation at all was given him for a laboratory, he said. but the laboratory has continued to operate. In a recent epidemic of dfphtheria, he said. 'T don't AHVW what WV WVts1 AAaVC 0OAS without It."
 The hospitals largest deficiency is in supplies and materials, due again, the doctor said, to the att tempt to have him operate a hos pital on a standard absolutely im- possible to exist on." The budget was laid out on per capita basis of $4.9S a week. he said, when his own Absolutely honest and straightforward" estimate of the amount needed was $6.25 week.
 At Norwich

I1emocrats will be kept well in- formed of the party's doings be- tween row and the 1886 campaign according to the plans of the state chairman, J. Francis Smith. A statement issued over the sigma tuie of William M. Greene, secre- tary of the democratic state cen- tral committee, yesterday in the form of a notice to state central committee members states that @ monthly publication Is planned to start In February. Weekly bulle- tins will also be issued in between publication dates of the monthly issue which will be known as "The Connecticut Democrat" Applica- tion has been made for official reg istration of the magazine title to safeguard its use for the official or- gan of the party.
 MT Greene's statement to the members of the democratic state central committee is as follows: '"rhe sate chairman, J. Francis Smith, has instructed me to advise you that Q monthly publication, in magazine form, will be issued starting next month. The exact publication date has not yet been determined but 1t will probably be around the 18th of each month. This official party organ will ac- quaint you with the activities of the party throughout the state and act as a directing voice in ad- vancing statewide organization of the town and district units of the party in preparation for national election in 1936.

 After the hearing Dr Leak said the trouble at Newtown was large ly due to misunderstanding of the state bookkeeping by the clerk who was handling the accounts. All the money was spent for the hospital, he said, but some accounts were overdrawn and the money for equipment went into construction instead. There are now 497 pa- tients at Newtown, all able bodied younger persons transferred from other hospitals, Dr Leak said, and not in distress because of the shortage of furniture. What arc needed, he said. are chairs to go beside the beds, tables on which cards and other games can be play cd. and easy chairs.

sume the costs of operation, includ- ing the payment of teachers.
 Included also in the state report is reference to the patriotism of both teachers and pupils in Con- necticut schools. Regarded as a reply by the state department to the proposed legislation sponsored by the Veterans of Foreign Wars making compulsory the oath of al- legiance in all Connecticut schools. the section is headed "Patriotism by Statute;" and reads as follows:
 That pupils In our public schools are enrolled in communis- tic organizations, interested in se- ditious activities, or banded to- gether for the acceptance and pro- mitigation of radical doctrines of belief and behavior simply is not true.
 Where the opposite is charged we should call for the evidence and then ascertain whether the basis of the complaint is in 8 public or private school; is in Connecticut or some distant city,"
 Loyalty UnqucstiOncd In reference to teachers 1t states: Individual teachers may be lack ing in good judgment and a nice sense of the proprieties or they may make personal or professional freedom fetish or they may be prone to seek public attention by extravaganza of statements, but that there Is anywhere in Connec- ticut public schools a group which is disloyal to the state or nation, hostile to the principles of Ameri- can democracy, opposed to the generally accepted principles of private or public morality, may be denied with authority"

BURGLARS ACTIVE
 HERE LAST NIGHT
Series of Breaks" Re- ported to Police Early
 To-day

Three burglaries took place in the city last night, one of them re- sulting in failure, one taking the form of a ransacking, and minor theft. and the other the theft of merchandise in shipment.
 Forcing a front door at the Ash born Transportation co. garage in the rear of 19 Brown street, burg lars escaped with 10 cases of choc- olate. The total value of the loot is unknown, since 1t was being ship ped by the truck company and was to be delivered to store in Hart ford today. The stolen candy weighed more than 400 pounds.
 Breaking into the Sheet Metal Works offices on Jackson street last night, thieves ransacked the place thoroughly and then left with a wall clock as their only stolen goods, as far as could be learned today. Papers and records were strewn all over the floors, drawers ripped out and desks moved.
 A window was broken at a tav- ern at the corner of Bank and South Leonard streets last night, but no entrance into the place was made.

SPANKING HARMS
 GIRLS IS BELIEF

London UP) - Gaming of girls in public elementary schools should be prohibited, according to Dr R. l.. Kitching. former house surgeon of St Bartholomew Hos- pital, London.
 A recommendation to this effect Is contained in letter from Dr Kitching to the Board of Educa- tion. The letter was printed in the British Medical Journal after the Board of Education had agreed that the subject was one upon which medical advice might be sought.
 In his letter Dr Kitching points out that in certain cases caning is form of punishment which in- wolves serious risk. 'In the case of boys" he declares, "the risks must be accepted. The point l would submit to the medical de- partment Is that the risks are so much greater in the case of girls that this method of punishment can no longer be justified.

Bonus Fight Disgusts
Ex-SoIdier

To the Editor Of The Times:
This constant wrangle over
the bonus disgusts me. The
former soldier has had a good
deal from the Government and
has no legal or moral right to
keep on making demands.
1 did not wait to be drafted
in the Army, but enlisted in
1917. I have never asked for
a bonus nor do I intend to
ask for one.
The country called for its
men, and I ans ,5ered, and no
payment of money could recon-
pense me for my experiences.
This professional lobby seek
ing more and more for the
men, many of whom never saw
active service, is nothing but
a racket, and I hope the Presi-
dent will be governed by COM
mon sense and not plunge the
country into debt to pay the
bonus, EX-SOLDIER.

PARKPROTEST

Members Of the Washington
Chapter, Sons Of the American
Revolution, have Joined with the
Montgomery County Chapter,
Daughters Of the American Revo-
luton, in a protest against pro-
posed abandonment of a park sur
rounding one Of the District Line
markers. 1t is said to be one OF
the original ones placed there by
George Washington in 1791,1792.
The boundary stone and park
are located at Western Avenue,
River Road and Park Place. The
marker is protected by an iron
fence placed there by the District
Of Columbia Chapter Of the D. A.

Questions Wisdom
OF Some Teachers

To the Editor of The Times:
Over and above the necessary
fight for increased appropri-
ations to build bigger and better
schools for Washington, there
is obviously a crying need for
revision Of the standards Of
teaching in this city.
DR.. Frank w. Ballou, super
intendent of schools, is said to be
a super-fine educator, but there
have been blatant examples OF
some of the worst kind of teach
ing imaginable in the schools
under his Jurisdiction.
There has recently come to
my attention the case Of a
Washington school teacher who
has deliberately given low grades
to one of her brightest pupils
80 he wouldn't think he was
getting on too well in the class"
This may be all we'll and good
in the mind Of teacher who
doesn't want to fill a pupil with
a conceit over his own accom-
plishmentS. But does it? It
seems rather to stunt the child's

Men Forget Work
While Drinking

To the Editor Of The Times:
Here is the real reason for the
business depression.
During prohibition days, men
sat around speakeasies drinking
and not doing their work.
Now that repeal is here, they
sit around "cafeS" and drink, let
ting business go to the bow-wows.
The real solution will be to
have a prohibition law that is
really enforced.
Then men will have to stop
drinking and go to work!
Try that system out and
watch for national recovery.

This war scare shouldn't be al.

We learned our lesson during the
last war. We lost men and money.
In the next war, and it seems
to be pretty close, we will keep our
