Thanks To The CCC

New Hampshire in the years to come should be eternally thankful to the eco. Members of this youth organization are today changing the Daniel Webster High way, which pierces the White Mountain state, from dead-end road to through thoroughfare into Canada. Incidentally when completed the road will provide New Hampshire with its sole port of entry to the dominion. In short the completion of the project is one that is regarded in the state as worthwhile and imperative.
 A year ago legislators passed a bill authorizing various authorities to take steps to take the Daniel Webster highway out of the classification of "dead-end" roads. It was, claimed the legislators, hardly tribute to famous son of the state And it was just as clearly argued that the state ought to have legal port of entry" to Canada. When all the talk ing and arguing died down the state found itself possessed of working idea and needing nothing but an agency to start things going.
 When Director Robert Fechner of the CCC interested himself in the plan, it was really half completed. There were actually only 9 miles of roadway to be built from the end of the Daniel Webster highway to the Canadian border. But these lay through great forests Private lumber and power companies cooperated and made available the necessary land. Now instead of just winding ribbon of road through great stands of spruce and fir, beautiful park will be made accessible. More than half the road is completed. No doubt next summer will find the route open and available to all and giving New Hampshire it's first official "port of en- trv"

Edwardian Dictatorship

Genevieve Zaepffel, famous French seeress who is credited with an astonish- ing string of true predictions in past years, plugged into the infinite the other day and announced that Edward, Duke of Windsor, would return to the British throne as dictator-"and sooner than you think"
 There is more to her vision. She pictures foreign armies pouring into Spain, Bel gium suffering another cruel grief, Italy crashing, the German army moving against Russia, blood flowing in the French parliament, young dictator and hungry people in France, and the "dis- appearance" of both France and England in half century. All this will be as it may. Seeresses are impressive but not conclusive.
 The prophecy about Edward interests Americans more than the others. Many of us would hardly expect Edward from now on, to dictate anything more than sport styles. Yet almost anything could hap pen in Europe. England may not always be "a land of settled government" and her royal playboy might yet surprise the world as much as young King Henry Fourth, boon companion of Jack Falstaff, did 500 years ago.

bers of that former alliance are still very much in the political picture here in Connecticut. By virtue of his high cabi- net post of Attorney General MT. Cum ings is still looked to by state leaders for advice and leadership. Mir. FitzGerald is back on top as national committeeman, a post to which he was elected in as smart political maneuver as democrats ever witnessed before.
 MT. Spellacy is mayor of Hartford and regarded as opposed to the present-day set-up of leaders in the party. Whether or not Mayor Spellacy is unduly alarmed over the situation of being an "anti" ir- stead of "pro" probIematical It's doubt full if he minds very much By the same token it's pretty sure that the new gener- alissimoS are not excited over the fact that the Hartford executive is supposed to be contra-machine. The situation, therefore, is ideal for not merely the Suc- cess of the democratic party, but for it's expansion to the point where Connecticut will become as completely dominated by the democrats as it was by republicans not more than seven years ago.

It's Big Four" Now

Once upon time the political destinies of the democratic party in Connecticut were bound up with the leadership of three men, They were Thomas J. Spell lacy of Hartford, David E. FitzGerald of New Haven, and Homer s. Cummings. Many defeats and victories grace the records of the party since those days; much water has gone over the dam. Lead ership of the party in this state is no longer said to be held by the once-power- full triumvirate. Today they speak of the Big Four" as Moe Berkman of the Hartford Times aptly named the ruling forces last week.
 The Big Four" according to the Hart ford political writer, consists of Governor Wilbur L. Cross, Senator Francis T. Ma loney, National Committeeman David E. FitzGerald, and State Chairman J. Fran cis Smith. Of the latter three says MT. Berkman, Smith, FitzGerald and Ma loney have become triumvirate so confi- dent of control that they already are mak- ing plans for 1888. These plans include renomination of Governor Cross, Senator Lonergan and the rest of the state ticket .." So actually the old triumvirate is replaced by new one.
 Oddly enough it is MT. FitzGerald who has survived the Tigors of past campaigns in which his leadership, as well as that of Mir. Spellacy and Mir. Cummings was .extolled only later on to be criticized and, the leaders ushered from their posts of power and prestige. However, all mem-

It was stated in news item in The Democrat Saturday that if both Governor Wilbur L. Cross and Lieutenant Governor Frank Hayes attended the presidential inauguration on January 20, the acting governor of the state would be State Sena- tor John F. Lynch, republican, of West Haven The acting governor actually would be the new president pro tenn of the State Senate, who is expected to be Senator Joseph H. Lawlor of Waterbury. Senator Lynch will not be member of the incoming Senate as he was not a candidate for election this. past fall, but sought the office of congressman in the third district instead. The Legislature will convene on the Wednesday after the first Monday of January which is the 9th this year. The presidential inaugura- tion does not come until two weeks later, SO there is little danger of the Legislative bodies not being organized by that time.

The news that Yale is the third largest taxpayer in New Haven won't surprise some people, but it will others. It will those people who always lend ready ear to the proposal that more taxes be col lected by the City of New Haven from the university corporation. Of course the city's position is readily enough under stood. Yale University has removed much valuable property from the taxable lists of the city. Yet the mere fact that the college is paying heavy taxes to the city is enough to convince the average man that the bystander should not be too ready to criticize the university off, cials for their stand on taxation.

The election of the able, ad- ministration-supported Texan is now definitely assured. He has 182 pledged votes. IA more than the required majority.
 By January 4, when the 335 house democrats hold their cau- GUS, Rayburn's electoral strength will top 220 and may be as high as 25O. Tammanyite John O'Con- nor, runner-up in the contest, is assured at present of only 60 to 75 votes.
 Foreseeing defeat, emissaries of O'Connor have been feeling out close friends of Rayburn on deal. They propose that if and when Rayburn becomes speaker of the house, he back O'Connor for floor leader. In return O'Connor will support Rayburn in the present contest.
 The proposition has been flatly turned down. The OCOn- nOrites have been informed that Rayburn is making trades with no one, is unconcerned whether O'Connor stays or gets out of the race.
 Rayburn is determined to force a vote to prove the O'Conppr was not a serious contender, and thus forestall any possibility of O'Con- nor, in the future, making claims that without his backing Rayburn could not have been elected.

A Book a Day
Photographers Life Story is Fascinating

"As Remember" by Arnold Genthe (Reynal and Hitchcock, $5), is the autobiography of a famous photographer and raconteur, told
 simply and with considerable charm. It is illustrated with more than 60 pages of his own photographs, rang ing from views of San Francisco be- fore the earthquake and fire, to photographs of stage and political celebrities of both past and pres- ent.
 Arnold Genthe came to America from Germany as a tutor in 1865. He planned to stay only year. He had his Ph. D: in Latin phtlology from the Universally of Jena, and had compiled dictionary of Ger man slang for which he had been
 commended by Bismarck. He had been offered teaching posts at sev- eral German universities.
 But he had always wanted to be an artist. Discovering that he had not sufficient talent to make a name for himself as a painter. he began
 to study photography. Thus began the career of a man who was to be- come one of the finest and most fa- nous photographers in America. The book is studded with fas-
 cinat:ng anecdotes about interest ing people. Genthe has photo graphed Pavlowa, Bernhardt, Duse. Presidents Roosevelt, Taft. and Wil-
 son, Mrs. Fislke, Marlowe and Soth-
 ern, Isadore Duncan, Toscanini. and
 countless other important person.
 ages. It was his photograph of Greto 0arbo which resulted in her first screen contract. The first color
 photographs ever published in an American magazine (this in 1910 and l9l2), were Genthe's. He has taken i pictures all over the world. About
 all these people. events, and places

some weeks a1ter mowers eIeC- ton in 1928, Mrs. Borah attended a Washington tea. The place buzzed with talk about who would be named to the new cabinet. Sev- eral of the guests, in an obvious attempt to draw out Mrs. Borah, asked if her husband had decided to accept the state department portfolio.
 "I can't say what Bill will dO," she replied. He hasn't yet had to make any decision. You see, Bill has been offered the secre- tary of state job by everyone in Washingt0n-except MT. HoOv- er."
 NOTE: Hoover never did make the offer-an omission for which Borah, privately, never forgave him.
 Cummings-LabO Feud
 The ambition of Homer s. Cum lnings to achieve 8 place on the supreme court is not being for warded by his recent attitude to- ward organized labor.
 Labor will have a lot to say about the presidents choice to fill any vacancy that arises. Yet the attorney general is on the verge of a bitter clash with the union- ties.
 CAUSE OF LABOR'S IRE IS CUMMINGS INACTION IN EN- FORCING THE BYRNS ANTI STRIKE BREAKER ACT.
 Fathered by South Carolina's Senator Jimmy Byrns, this meas ure was one of labor's big tri- umphs last session. The law pro- hibits the transportation Of strike breakers across state lines; is de- signed to break up the business of importing non-residents to smash strikes.
 PrOcrastinatiOn
 The act has been on the statute books nearly six months, but to date Cummings has yet to insti- ute a single prosecution. Union- ites are up in arms over this pro- castination for two reasons.
 ONE, of course. is Cummings failure to crack down on alleged violators of the law.
 THE OTHER is that until the law is put to an actual test in the courts, there is no way of knowing whether 1t meets the purpose for which it was enacted or is merely so much waste-paper.
 Cummings cannot plead any lack of complaints on which to proceed. Less than a month af- ter the passage of the law, striking unionists at Camden, N. J., filed charges that it was being violated by . radio man. sIfacturer.
 Also, at hearings just concluded by the National Labor Relations board on the Remington Ranad strike, there was extensive testi- mony charging that strike-break- CTS were imported from another state. One witness, head of a large strike-breaking company, frankly admitted that he had supplied Remington-Rand with imported strike breakers.
 So strong is the unions resent ment against Cummings that a personal appeal to the president is being considered, to ask him to direct the attorney general to snap out of his lethargy.
 NOTE: Head of the criminal division of the justice department which handles such prosecutions, is Brien McMahon, Q fellow-C Con- necticut politician of mediocre ability whom Cummings installed in this important post.
