Quoddy Seems Doomed

Even President Franklin D. Roosevelt seems to have accepted as final the de- cision of Congress not to appropriate any more relief funds for the purpose of put ting the moon to work in real earnest up at Passamaquoddy Bay in northern Maine. The far-famed project that would have harnessed the big tides that make this bay famous seems doomed to die a natural death in the next few months when funds already appropriated are completely expended.
 When this happens Uncle Sam will have on his hands model village, not to mention partially completed tide harnessing job. The village of Quoddy was one of those miracle communities that spring up overnight to accommodate the horde of engineers and technlclans called by the government to put the tides to work producing electrical energy. Other than this there is the disappoint- ment caused in northern Maine con- munities, particularly nearby Passport.
 We may never know now whether the tides of Passamaquoddy Bay could actu- ally have been put to work producing energy. In way it's too bad the experi- ment couldn't have been completed, but there's the millions of dollars involved to be considered. If, as claimed, the prac- tical side of the project has been over looked for the theoretical, there actually is not any complaint about the con- gressional action in holding up funds. There are many more pertinent things needful of federal aid that would relieve distress throughout the entire nation.

A Thought for Today
Let's Do It Right

Every one of the six New England states seems to be in agreement on inter- state compacts to regulate flood control legislation. Only with the six states in this frame of mind can any general and far-reaching plan be put into effect in New England. It is to be hoped that the sessions held to date will be continued with the idea of codifying some real effec- tive means of putting plans into practical usage. It's all right to talk and plan, but action will soon be needed.
 Now that we know that the state will proceed to unify their flood control leg islation, we think it only fair that in- cluded in any such scheme should be consideration for stream pollution evils. If there is real need for preventing soil erosion and property damage through ravages of flooded streams, certainly there is just as much need for attention to the unhealthy condition of the major ity of our fresh waters of New England. We do not think New England should overlook the opportunity of killing two birds with one stone.
 Flood control, soil erosion prevention, pollution elimination, and electric power development all go hand in hand with any plan that embraces harnessing a river Where it is navigable Uncle Sam naturally makes his entrance. Certainly in the case of New England, it is high time, we think, that it was given the con- sideration that other sections, drained by great river systems, have been getting. New England needs to get together on flood control, but more than that it needs to get together on all water control.

Honesty at School

One of the strangest cases recently coming to public attention is that of the Missouri high school boy who won a $5,O00 scholarship offered by Eddie Can tor by copying magazine article word for word and passing it off as his own. His exposure and disgrace are tragedy.
 This 18-year-old boy, high school senior, frankly admitting his deception when it was discovered, said he didn't know what plagiarism" was, and didn't know he had done anything wrong - that he thought he had right to copy that peace article and pass it off as his own, in order to get college education.
 Here is an interesting case for psychol- ogy, and also for education. The mantle of charity may be drawn over the mis- guided youth, but the principle should be driven home. How is it possible that a student should go four years to any high school presumably doing his regu- lar school work, writing essays, reports, themes, examination papers anG so on, without learning the obligation to do his own work and not steal other peoples stuff?
 Here is a question of fundamental in- diligence and integrity. It involves not Ely law and morals, but sportsmanship. Ire the schools driving 1t home to their pupils? They should be doing SO, from the Kindergarten up.

Radio Meters

The latest detective device is one used to find out what radio patrons like. Radio meters" scattered through cities or neighborhoods, and attached to the radio sets, record the time during which a set is used, also the name of the station tuned in, and all station changes. These instruments, distributed in Boston among all social classes in way to make their reports representative, show vari- ous interesting facts, including this: That when news, jazz and melodrama are offered at the same time, people with incomes above $2,500 a year tend to choose the first, people with incomes from $2,500 down to $1,200 choose the second, and people below $1, 200 choose the third.
 A distinguished employer of amateur talent is said to draw equally well from all three-showing, we suppose, that "there is neither East nor West, border nor breed nor birth", where amateurs are concerned. The next step, perhaps, will be to faSten thought-recorders on listen- ers' heads to show what they think of the programs from minute to minute. Scien- tists have been getting excited lately about an electric device recording thought waves. They may fail, though, where radio is concerned. Too many radio programs don't seem to have any thing to do with thought.

Blondes Deferred

Anita Loos, the well known authority on blonds, says that type is out. Gentle men today prefer brunets. And this is no mere shift of fancy or style, but getting back to facts; for brown hair, she nain- tains, is much more fatal than blond hair ever was." Meaning, of course, fatal to men.
 The blond rage apparently belonged with the business boom of the Juveniles There was something about that gold rush era which gave an artificial glow to blonds, even when they, too, were artifi- cial "A pretty blond was pretty blond, and that was all man expected her to be-" It was part of the general light headedness. It didn't pay girl to have intelligence and personality. Men just wanted her to be decorative.
 We'll, Miss Loos says, all that is behind us, and men are settling down to funda- mental verities, and women are coming out with a new color scheme for their hair Miss Loos obviously feels certain pride in this movement, because she her. self is brunei. The brunets, natural or synthetic, doubtless deserve an inning if they were ever really out.

Democrats are unusually active in Connecticut this week. At noon today the Arrangement Committee of the demo- cratic spring convention was slated to pick keynoter. This convention will be held the middle of May in New Haven and delegates will then be selected to go to the national convention in Philadelphia. It is reliably asserted that U. s. Attorney General Homer s. Cummings of Stamford will be the keynote speaker. It is also reliably asserted that President Franklin D. Roosevelt will be renominated in June. And if that isn't enough to keep people talking tomorrow the Young Democrats of the state gather in Waterbury for their annual convention. According to reports going the rounds there will be consider able excitement before the young mem- bers of the party settle down for the dinner dance which will end all festivities tomorrow evening.

One of the cleverest means of publiciz- ing the Bear Mountain Bridge is taken by the corporation which controls this great structure And with few exceptions newspapers are lavish in their space allotted to such self-advertising At regu- lar intervays Auto Editors are supplied with trips to various places, Always such trips will be routed across the Bear Mountain Bridge and through Palisades Interstate Park. However, we'll say this much, there's a minimum of advertising for the bridge and plenty for the park, as we'll as for the state and federal high ways which must be passed over. AS we said above, it's cleverly done.

Amiable and charming, Forbes is the uncle of Mrs. roosevelt; and while in Portland he visited Mrs. David Gray, one of Mrs. Roose- velt's aunts.
 When he returned he had new plan to save Maine for r ,mocracy. Anti-New Dealer
 It happens that Governor Brann has opposed the President publicly on such definitely New Deal meas ures as the Devalutaitno of the Dollar, the Holding Corporation Act, processing taxes, and consti- nationality. He is also closely as- sociated with Guy Gannett, @ Maine republican leader.
 Despite all th'& Forbes MOr- gan's return to Washington brought the announcement that Governor Brann would run for the senate and Harold DubOld for governor. DuboId once re- ceived $1,400 from Sam InsulL While mayor of Waterville, he also sold a gravel pit to the city, later being investigated and forced to return the purchase money.
 With the Brann-Dubold an- nouncement, Edward Carl Moran, only Maine member of congress who has gone down the line for the New Deal, announced his re- tirement. He said he could not campaign on the same platform with these two Democrats. (Copyright, 1886, by United Fea-

They are confident that noth- ing can upset the upward swing of the Presidents political pres- tige, unless it be wholesale ex- posures of WPA and Relief graft. One thing which they don't like is the series of staunch denials issued by Harry Hopkins, WPA administrator, that graft in his outfit is non-eXistent.
 Harry is one of the most fortnight operators in the New Deal. He would not mind telling Queen Mary that her hat was not straight. When he was rum ming EZRA he announced to the world that "Of course there was some graft" in his outfit, but he was kicking out the grafters.
 Now, however, no heads roll in the sand. Publicly Harry exoner- ates. Privately, he does not. Change of Front
 There are two good reasons for Hopkins public change of front.
 l. He did not appoint his state WPA administrators. They were appointed chiefly by the democratic senators, virtually take orders from state bosses, not from Hopkins in Washing ton.
 2. This is election year. To kick out state WPA administra- tors would cause political tumult. WPA has to get votes.
 Maine Row
 The worst case of conflict be- tween attempted WPA efficiency and local politics is in the state of Maine.
 Big Jim Farley needs Maine. More than almost anything else he wants the psychological effect of Maine going for Roosevelt just be- fore the regular elections next fall.
 Despite Big Jim's needs Harry Hopkins, sick of playing politics, called in Jim Abrahamson, his WPA chief in Maine, and told him privately: 'If any of that Farley gang comes around wanting jobs, tell 'em to go to he'll"
 Abrahamson, a young Bowdoin professor, was the 48th state ad- ministrator to be appointed. This time Hopkins, sore at political appointees, picked out his own man.
 No sooner had he taken the oath of office than Abrahamson ran up against political opposition as tough as a Maine winter. Firs intimation came when he assumed his duties. Governor Louis J. Brann, democrat, gave him a brief sermon.
 "T have always fOund," said the governor, in the OleaginOus voice of the campaign orator, "that the people of Maine want their relief administered to them on the highest non-partisan basis, with scrupulOus honesty, and patriotic ferv0r."
 Then, dropping to sotto voce: Give the - some fun" Maine Relief Graft
 Shortly thereafter IA were in- dictcd for graft in the ERA, one of them being Administrator John A. McDonough. Governor Brann denies that he recommended Mo- Donnough's appointment. but WPA files show the opposite.
 The man who unearthed the ERA graft was James E. Connel- Ian, state director of the National Emergency. But Governor Brann protested to Jim Farley and Con. nellan was dismissed.
 Meanwhile the trial of ERA graft continued. One scandal still to be disclosed Is how the ERA placed an order for relief garments with . Boston clothing firm and got . shipment Of dis. carded red spangled evening gowns.
 Meanwhile, Brann brought pressure to 0ust Abrahamson as WPA administrator.
 Meanwhile, also, the democratic national committee continued to support Brann 100 per cent, re- .m.-ta.. A ....h Wu--a... Ra~.su... .a.N~N
