I1aus-O Oceanic Air Lines
Rosendah Does Not Believe Plan Is Feasible - Naval Commanders Remarks Significant In View Of Durand Committee Survey
NEW LONDON DAY

years, came to the same end. The Los Angeles, on the other hand, was the former German ZR-3, and was operated for years without ac- cident of any consequence. It, has now been decommissioned. The Italian Norge, the English dirig- ibles and the American craft, in other words, have all ended their careers in disaster, while the Ger man builders, following the general ideas of Count von Zeppelin, who struggled for year to obtain back ing for his plans in the early years of the present century, have pro- duced the only successful lighter than-air craft. K. ;. Commander Rosendahl,S chief point concerning the use of dirig- ibles, as compared with. airplaneS, for long ocean flights on a com mercial scale, however, is that the airplanes cannot carry sufficient pay load to make the trips profit able. There is truth in this; the first effort to establish such line on a paying basis, however, should indicate whether passengers and shippers are willing to pay a heavy premium for this mode of trans portation. Certainly the disastrous record of American dirigibles would not encourage many travellers to use that means of travel if 1t were available.

For a good many years the fight has been over the title, Father of the Amer
 ican Navy" Today it has developed a new angle as Marblehead and Beverly, both in Massachusetts, dispute the right to be known as the birthplace of the navy. Representative A. Piatt Andrew, a mem Der of the House Naval Affairs Commit tee, has been asked to settle the dispute or to refer it to some authority who may give ruling on it. The claims are that the ships that were first commissioned \ to do duty in this nations service put out from these ports. However, at one time the Navy Department itself tried to put aside all claims by saying that Phil adelphia was the birthplace, for there on April 30, 1798, the Navy Department was established The U. s. Coast Guard, which antedates the navy, however, com- plicates matters by other claims, so it looks as if we can enjoy some real good arguments for many years to come.

Don't bet on the results of elections in Connecticut. Just about the time that several Connecticut cities were going to the polls this week an enterprising re- porter on the New Haven Register went to the trouble of consulting the statutes on election bets. The laws forbid any wagers with the alternative of jail sentence or fine for violators. Every day that the bet runs, too, constitutes a sep arate offense, so some of the boys who make those freak wagers around election time don't know what trouble they really could get into by their daring.

Call For The Past

The world has treated itself to quite few SpectacleS of human goodness during the last few years, but few of them have been quite as striking as the demonstra- tion put on in Vienna the other day by 1000 war veterans. These veterans gathered to cheer the name of Archduke Otto, pretender to the Austrian throne. Most of them we're wounded veterans; some were on crutcheS, some were arm less, some were blind But all of them got together to whoop it up for restora- tion of the Hapsburg monarchy in Aus tria, and the spectacle is pretty puzzling.
 Austria today is as much a casualty of the war as any of the maimed, disfigured ex-soldiers who paraded in Vienna. The nation has been fighting off slow death for IT years, while being aided by copious blood tranSfuSionS from the League ot Nations. And it is hard to see how the country can blame anyone but its former rulers for it's predicament.
 The Hapsburgs in pre-war Vienna ruled vast domain that was bound to fly apart. The empire had a sound enough economic basis, but politically it was a powder magazine full of flying sparks The pride and StubbornneSs of the mon- archy stood in the way of the adjust ments that would have to be made to pre- vent an explosion; and when the explo- Sion finally came, wrecking most of Europe and leaving Austria as hopelessly crippled as the most horribly mangled of ex-soldiers, large part of the responsi- bility went properly to the Hapsburgs.
 That being the case, you would suppose that the last thing the service men of Austria would want would be a reStora- ton of the, Hapsburg dynasty. This, above everything else, would seem to be the one thing that would stir them to be the one thing that would stir them to frenzy of resistance But instead they pack the streets of Vienna and cheer Justify the crippled, the war-ruined, the blind, the pathetic specters of defeat flor the Hapsburg who wants to re- ascend their throne.
 Perhaps these men stand as symbols for all Europe, and pretty much of the rest of mankind, these days. The simple fact is that mankind is still groggy from the blows of war A large part of it, like this bloc of Austrian ex-soldierS, realizes only that it's present situation is unendur- able. It is still too stunned to work out a new plan of salvation; it can only look back to the old pre-war days and strive blindly to revive that which is dead.
 For if these Austrians are stupid to place their hopes on dynasty that ruined them les sthan generation ago, the rest of the world is no less stupid for placing it's trust in vast armies, ultra-modern fleets, and tangle of jealous and mutu- ally suspicious military alliances. These things, like the Hapsburgs in Vienna, brought disaster the last time they were tried.

Out Of Politics

Some years ago when Governor Wilbur l.. Cross first ran for the public office he now holds one of the bulWarkS of the platform which he dictated for himself to the democratic leaders who were urging his enrolment in political warfare was the removal of minor courts from politics. By that is meant the substitution of some other method of appointment of the judges of our city, town, borough, police, and other minor courts than that which had been followed for so many years, namely, appointment directly by the lower house of the General Assembly.
 We think that each successive time that he has successfully campaigned for his office he has made it a point to reiter- ate his faith in this plank and to voice the hope that the legislative body do something about changing the system. Other than Governor Cross we can only say that the judicial council of the state has publicly urged establishment of system of district courts that would defi- nitely change the present Set-up and once and for all remove the stigma of politics which today clings to the minor courts.
 At one time republican legislators ad- 1aitted without hesitation that they could not support the district court plan be- cause 1t destroyed rich source of patron age. They made no bones about coming right out and saying this. That was when they were in full control of all branches of the state government except the governors office. As the democrats widened their power, we looked for more determined fight to make the cbauee. 50 often proposed. But it is still i6 come. Whether the democrats control F3ss never been sufficient to make such 2 sweeping change or their coming into noWer has given them new ideas, we leave l6 others Co figure out.
 rlit st least Governor Cross now draws
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-11-09

some satisfaction in the fact that this week he named the judge of the New London city court. He appointed dem ocrat to succeed the deceased republican official. He claims that his appointment definitely removes this court from poli- tics. It probably will be administered no. better nor worse than many other courts in the state, Waterbury, for example, where exceptionally fine judges preside, but at least the governor has the lnowl- edge that he remained in office long. enough to do one thing he set out right from the very outset to do.

GleefuIIy They Chant

One more nail in the coffin of the New Deal, so chant the delighted opponents as a federal court rules that Congress exceeded its powers in enacting the law outlawing the holding companies of pub lie utilities. The case will be thrown to the Supreme Court of the United States for final decision. In the meantime any plans that the Securities and Exchange Commission may have for enforcing the law are apt to be cast adrift The decision, given by Judge William c. Coleman, termed the statute grossly arbitrary, lln- reasonable, and capricious". 4
 He also said that if there were any good points in the law, which should be put into effect, they could not be separated from those which he so severely indicated. The judge did not mince matters in his official finding. He was direct and he used words which had but one meaning, and that one easily understandable And this might well be the end of an ambi- tiouS plan or effort on the part of the federal government to do what has long been asked of it, namely, regulate the public utilities of the nation.
 It seemed as if a signal victory had been scored by the government forces when it finally had the regulations placed on the statute books Impetus to the outlawing of the myriad of holding com panies with their interlocdng director ates had been given by the so-called pub lie scandals involving what even had been regarded as the more reputable ones in this group Yet powerful forces body had succumbed to public opinion and was actually going to tread on the, toes of our public utilities. The nation will watch the further course of this invalidation ruling with interest

In New York
BY GEORGE ROSS

New York, Nov. 8-Besides bar- flies, pavement panhandlers (dime fer acuppa coffee, misterD and glib kleptomaniacs, the town is overr,m with moochers of every variety. But my own admiration has always been for the autograph seekers, mooch- ing's most alert practitioners. They know better than men-about- town where celebrities will be on a gala New York evening and their approach to clients is some thing for backward book sales men to see.
 Like wild Indians they surround their prey between acts of a Broadway opening and don't let go until a signature is down on the dotted line. Al Smith is one of their favorite victims because he is always ready to ablige, but they tell me Katherine Hepburn has, thus far, been their toughest customer.
 Autograph hounds, by the way, are divided into two camps; those who sacrifice themselves to the art for arts sake; and those who coi- lect signatures for money. An old hand at the racket can get along on the cash rewards of au- tograph mooching, even though the market on the stuff is always going up and down. For example, Myrna Loy signature, Collector Izzie was telling me, has gone down from quarter to 12 cents since the Oriental-eyed actress last Manhattan visit, while Fred Astaire's scratchy scrawls are go- ing up.
 Drawings on Nerve
 Then, there is the other kind of connoisseur who goes in ex- clusiveiy for panliandling original paintings, drawings and cartoons How? By just dropping around to a celebrated artists studio, saun- tering in and remarking, MT. Arno have admired your work for 8 long time and I will be proud to keep an original sketch of yours as a memento." The artist, not averse to flattery, will generally break down, and give. Repeat this spiel at the shops of James Montgomery Flagg,. John Held, Jr.; Howard Chandler Christy, McClelland Bar Clay, Neysa McMein or Charles Dana Gibson and stuff enough fol 1, a little art gallery is garnered. Oi stuff enough for 8 profitable re- sale.
 Mooching at stagedoors, though is still one of the most popular lines. Every evening, at certain playholses, a queue forms for the handout;; sometimes $5, some times $10 and often, more. ] Many of them are bonafide
 unemployed, down-on-their luck actors who knew the star when . and who at least have a legitimate reason to ask for help.

The appearance of an article in an aeronautical magazine, written by Lieut.. Comdr. Charles E. RoSen- dahl, pointing out the folly" ot trying to develop trans-oceanic air
 lines with heavief-than-air craft arouses much interest and Specula- tion. In the first place the lieuten- ant commander is now in charge Of the Lakehurst naval air station. He is, in other words, still in active service in the navy and holding a very responsible position. While the magazine points out that he ex- presses only his own views, and not those of the navy, it is significant that his article appeared at the time when the Durand committee
 appointed by President Roosevelt to investigate the whole question oi lighter r-than-air craft, should be considering it's recommendations, with the rumor that it will report in favor of, aband doning all further construction of dirigibles.
 The appearance of the article also practically coincides with the opening of the transpacific heav- -than-air line of the Pan- American Airways. Moreover. Com mander Rosendahl is critical of the apathy shown in the United States for dirigibles, and says the success of the Germans with the Graf zep- pelin places that nation years ahead of us in the field. The dir igible is the only form of air. craft that has an "unblemished' record for safe passenger carrying, he observes, evidently referring particularly to the fine record of the Graf Zeppelin, which has been in regular South American service from Germany for five years with out accident of note.
 His comments on the safety o1 dirigible travel, however, must be qualified, for about the only dirig- ibles that have reached a ripe. olc age without serious accident are those of German build. The exper- fences of Great Britain with hel "R" ships were disastrous, Tht only dirigible owned by this coun- try to retire undefeated by tht clements was the Los Angeles anC that was constructed in Germany and obtained by the United State; as part of the war settlements Otherwise American dirigibles have invariably come to 8 tragic end.

Selected Poem
NOVEMBER SEA.

CMildred Boie in the New York Times) How wearily this day the wintered sea Lies on the shore; grown old with the year, and
 gray, It moves with untitled roar, and stonily Throws up no jeweled crests and plumes of spray Widowed of smiling skies, it smiles no more, But hangs the small horizon with thick vels, And spends its foggy breath upon the shore. Where now the same gray granite mood prevails. Yet one who loves the sea in every mood Finds in its quiet gloom some loveliness, And gathers from its strength the fortitude With which to face theswinter, and no less Treasures the gray-waved, sad November sea Than child his mother, strange in misery.

Well, at last the perfect place for old razor blades has been found Ethiopia will take all you send her. It seems Ethi opian soldiers treasure the old blades, for they use them as weapons of war. The blades are fastened to sticks in clusters and make formidable clubs when yielded vigorously Now if somebody will only charter ship on which all the old razor blades can be placed and somebody go up and down the land in motor trucks to get them, many males will cooperate.
