HOMELESS MAN DIES IN HOSPITAL
Sam Stokes Was Another Victim of Squatters'
 Home at Golf Lots

Tragedy struck again last night at "Hollywood',, the Colt Lots squatters colony where homeless, friendless men have gathered to live in rude shacks and eke out a hand- to-mouth existence by picking and selling scrap metal and by pan. handling. The victim this time, was Sam Stokes, 42, who died at Wa terbury hospital of pneumonia which set in as 8 result of expos- ure. Stokes had been at the hos. pital since December 27th, when he was taken from his shack py police, who had been informed by other squatters that he had been i'll, lying unattended for days. At the hospital, 1t was found that Le had stomach ulcers and these were being treated when pneumonia cet in. t
 Eateful Events
 The death of Stokes is but an- other of a series of fateful events that have come to Hollywood, as the colony has been satirically named. An epidemic of poisoning from smoke, cheap, self-man- factured beverage which had rub- bing alcohol and other compounds as its base, struck the colony last year. One man died, others suf- fered partial loss of eyesight, and others stomachs were affected. Two members of the colony have been ground to death beneath the wheels of freight trains which pass close by. Stabbing affrays have brought serious wounds to thers. Stokes body lay unclaimed at Waterbury hospital today. No relatives have been found, and his remains will be buried in c pauper's grave.

 The court today struck down tho New Deals farm recovery program provided for in the AAA by holding the law an unconstitutional attemp, to control production.
 The decision was rendered witf an opinion so sweeping as to make reenactment of any similar measure seem impossible without constitu' tional amendment-a long and difn-

 "Listen, give him one hundred per cent. Give him thousands per cent. Give him all the per cent you got, because whatever you give him 1t won't be enough. He's o white man, and he's smart"
