 MUST TAKE OATH

Boston, Oct. 1-CUP)-Sometime before Nov. 29 more than 50,00O professors, instructors and teachers must swear allegiance to the state and federal constitutions as re- quired by Massachusetts contro- versial new compulsory patriotism law.
 Several hundred teachers who took the oath last month, will be forced to swear allegiance again because of Attorney General Paul A. Dever's ruling that the law did not become effective until today.
 Although the law Carriesno pen alty, state authorities anticipated that teachers would readily comply with its terms. Rumblings from liberal college leaders at the time of it's passage at the last session of the legislature, were not ex- pected to result in active opposi- tion.

BRITAIN BLAMED
 FOR WAR CRISIS
Hugh Dalton Claims Ram- say Macdonald, Sir
 John Simon Faltered

Bright, England, Oct. 1.-UP) --The present British government was to-day accused to-day of be- Ing "criminally responsible" for the Italo- Ethiopian crisis by Hugh Dalton, former parliamentary un- der-secretary to the foregin of- flee. speaking at the annual con- ference of the labor party.
 Dalton urged adoption of the executive committees resolution favorinE application of sanctions to Italy, including force if neces- sary to prevent war against Ethiopia.
 The speaker denounced the role played by former Premier James Ramsey Macdonald and former Foreign Secretary Sir John Simon in negotiations be- tween Italy, France, and England looking towards maintenance of peace.
 'eThe failure of Macdonald and simon to take the wonderful op- portunity at Stresa to speak straight out to Mussolini was one of the greatest diplomatic crimes committed in this century. He drew the political conclu- sion that the labor party alone was fit to provide. a successor to the present government.
 By it's conduct during the Sino- Japanese dispute over Manchuria, Dalton declared, the present na- tional government led Mussolini to think that what was all right TOT Japan was not wrong for him.

MILAN HITS AT
 CITY CRITICISM
Police Chief Claims Vice Not Rampant Here; Po-
 litical Sermons Decried

Limitations of Rev. Dr. James B. Gregg of the First Congregational chcrch in his sermon Sunday morning from his altar that Wa terbury is the center of vice, such as gambling and prostitution, were answered today by Superintendent of Police Joseph H. Mclean. The use of the pulpit for the dissemin- ation of political opinions was de- cried on all sides in Waterbury today.
 "I am somewhat bashful about praising my own department, but it $ certainly news to me that Waterbury is such a vice-hidden city, said Superintendent Mclean today. "In fact, was beginning to believe that ours was a model town. Major crimes in Waterbury have been so rare during the past year that there has been scarcely any business for the criminal end of the superior court" he added.
 Superintendent pointed out that only petty stealing and burglary ha-\ been noted in Waterbury for some years past. The only big stick k-up", he explained, in this area occurred at the Watertown bank. Waterbury police officers and detectives handled the job and the perpetrators of the "stick-up" are now in prison.
 Tt is all well enough for critics to -hout that this and that exists, but the public itself is the best judge of what is going on in Wa terbury." declared Superintendent Mclean. T have 8 very efficient polio, department. The men and the officers work well together and I know that 1t is one of the best in the state. You know that every so often, especially around elec- tion time, there is plenty of talk and the police department has to take its share.
 would say that during the past few years there have been very few complaints made to the police department about anything wrong in this city. I think that everything will be serene again af- ter next Tuesday"

Washington, Oct 1-(U.P0-Re- vised budget figures revealed to-day that the government expects to col- lect nearly $500, 100000 in liquor taxes next year-more than ever before in the history of the coun- try.
 Bureau of internal revenue re- cords showed that gin and brandy production was breaking all pre- prohibition records, while distilla- ton of whiskey was tagging far be- hind its old maximum.
 The new deal budgetary forecast put down the liquor tax income for the fiscal year 1936 at $494,S40,000 The biggest previous liquor tax collection was in 1919, when many citizens wer stocking their cellars in anticipation of prohibition. Col lections that year totaled $483.060,- 854.47, of $11,790,146 less than the treasury hopes to get during the year ending next July. l..
 Officials said the anticipated re- cord income did not mean people were drinking more than before. Taxes now are nearly twice what they were.

|NOISELESS NIGHTS
 COME TO NEW YORK
City to Become So Quiet You'll Almost Hear a
 a Pin Drop

New York, oct. 1-(UP)-New Workers will listen eagerly tonight for less noise. Then starts "the month of noiseless nights" pro- claimed by Mayor F. H. LaGuar- dia through thousands of warn- ing. caJoling radios.
 His threatened drastic action period in a noise abatement cam paign to make New York bet ter place to sleep fn," commenced with a bang. The mayor. well pleased, heard City Hall Plaza turned into a bedlam, as enthusi- astic milkfnen, truck drivers and garbage collectors demonstrated their vehicular talents.
 The milkmen even tossed clanG- ing cans to the street. Pneumatic tires, rubber horse shoes and tip- toeing .truckmen then showed the difference in decibels with equip ment the noise abatement com mittee recommends. Noiseless days will come later, LaGuardia promised. But first, with the aid of arrests if necessary, certain night noises must stop at Il p. m. he said. He mentioned:
 "'The imported custom" of sere- nading under windows, or even on street corners, a by-product of cabarets (which will find patrol- men hostile audiences"
 Automobile horns and radios; above all, the mayor ragged, those out-of-town bus borns that mimic locomotive whistles, and scream outside my own windows in the early hours"
 Yowling of backyard cats which l am fraid won't be sus- ceptible to our publicity" was Q matter for further, specific and exhaustive consideration by tho city health department.
 Already, today, posters adopted by the noise abatement commit tee, fiuttered over the city like gay fall leaves, finding sticker place on automobile windshield and transportation windows. The post- CTS showed triangle-peaked Father Knickerbocker finger on lip.

Boy, Girl Scouts Open
 Busy Winter Program
Registration in Various Troops Reported Largest in
 Years-Five Brownie Units May Be Organized

At the office of the local Girl Scout council, Miss Edna w. We- Der, council director, reported a registration of 1,142, an increase of 110 over last year. Miss Weber explained that the registration in- cluCed not only the troops but also leaders, troop committee members, council members, and Brownie" troops. This latter group cores ponds with the Boy Scout "cub packs" and Is composed of young CT children.
 Five New Troops
 During the past few months we h..ve had applications for the or ganization of five new Brownie troops" Miss Weber said. we hope to do much more with the organization of these junior groups than we have done in the past. The only difficulty is in getting a suf- f. tent number of leaders" Only one Brownie troop is registered at present, although the council counts 40 troops this fall as com pared with only 36 last year.
 Miss Weber attributes the in
 
 crease in registration to the fact that the general public has be- come much more interested in work like scouting during the past few years as result of the de- pl sion. She believes that all or ganizations such as the Girl Scouts have a tendency to grow during de.r ession periods as the realiza- tion of their usefulness as me- diu.n of training is brought home to parents. Several new troops will be organized during the com ing year, she said.
 Peak Reached
 Miss Charlotte Henry, secretary at the Boy Scout council office in th1 Brown building, said registra- tim had reached it's peak August 8 the date set by the ate Arthur D. Marston, council executive. MT. Marston had intended that enroll m mt should pass the thousand mark before September and was working toward this end at the time of his death last spring. Sev- eral new scout troops are expected to be organized in the near fu- ture.

New Social Security Pro= gram Hit at Catholic
 Charities Session

Peoria, H., Oct. 1-UP)- Warned that the new social se- curity program in the United States may lead to fascism, dele gates to the 21st annual national conference of Catholic Charities today debated social and economic implications of social insurance.
 Dr. Goetz Briefs, professor of social economics at Catholic Uni- versity, Washington, D. C., and a member of the bureau which ir- stituted job insurance in Germany in 1924, issued the warning. If you live in a capitalistic so- ciety that depends upon profits," he said, "and take those profits away, you will surely break the social system.
 Germany penalized employers by levying a tax on all employees. Consequently, when the big em- ployers had to cut costs they be- gan by laying off as many workers as possible. The system grew high CT and higher until 1t finally crashed of its own weight"
 Praise for the social security bill came from Mary L. Gibbons, director of the division of families in Catholic charities of the New York archdiocese. She said 1t was constructive first step in what we expect will be an expanding governmental program"
 Arthur J. Altmeyer, member of the national social security board said the act is realistic and in harmony with the traditional American way of meeting our so- cial problems" He stressed the importance of state responsibility under the act.
 The Rev. J. M. Campbell, pres ident of the Catholic rural life conference, Ames, Ia., advocated q land resettlement program as an adjunct to limited public works program.
