 But the important thing was Mus eoiinis speech, his first since the annexation of Ethiopia and the League council meeting ct Geneva.
 MussOlinl Angry
 Bitterly angry over the continu- ance of League penalties against Italy and the Leagues insiStence on recognizing Ethiopia as a sovereign country, Musgolini today had to Orient his policy on new and un- welcome development, the busting of Prince Ernst Won Starhemberg as unofficial dictator of Austria. Star hemberg is the leader of fascism in Austria and he has run admiringly at Mussoiini's chariot wheel as Il Duce rolled on toward imperial power. It was hoped that Schusch- nigg's coup might not materially weaken Italy's position. Even be- fore the change in Austrian leader ship, well informed opinion was that Musgolini would not withdraw at present from the League.
 Austrian Coup
 The Austrian coup was calculated to make Mussolini move more de- liberately in any step he took in continental politics.
 Gtarhemberg was to be here to- morrow to attend football game between Italian and Austrian teams. Reports from Vienna, however, said he would have discussed with Mus solini, as a fellow dictator, not only military cooperation in event of a European war but the possibility that Austria might follow Italy if Italy resigned from the League.

 Less Than 100 Percent
 Tn the case of the three pieces of property on Baldwin street which the city seeks to buy in connection with the new bridge across the Mad river, and offer of $57,500 has been made by the municipality. The assessed valuation of all three pieces of porperty is nearly $30000. There- fore, the city is offering to pay less than 100 per cent over the assessed valuation of the three parcels of land, buildings included, while the United States supreme court upheld a payment for the Mackin property which was approximately 800 per cent greater than the assessed valu- ation.
 Also, by paying the SB7,5o0 to the willing property owners, the city is being saved the delay which was ex- perienced in the Mackin case through condemnation proceedings and appeals to the Connecticut Su- preme court and the United States supreme court.

 Judge Simpson states that allow ing an account secured since the bank was closed to be used as a set- off for @ debt due to the bank would be unfair to depositors who are awaiting dividends from the closed institution. He cites several au- thorities in support of his ruling. Commenting on the fact that such procedure was allowed several years ago in the receivership of the Mer- chants Trust O., Judge Simpson points out that at the time the re- ceivership was in its early stages and that depositors might have ex- pected 100 cents on the dollar. Now, he says, 1t is difficult to ascertain how much depositors-c will receive, and that 1t would be unfair to them to allow the set-of proce- dure.

 800 Percent More
 The city of Waterbury refused to entertain this price and pros ceeded with condemnation proceed ings in the superior court. In 1922 the superior court named commit tee to ascertain the justness of the city's offer. Tho committee shortly afterwards set $l2,600 as tho fair price for the land. This was ap- proximately 800 per cent greater than the assessed valuation of the land.
 City Has Upheld
 Dissatisfied, MT: Mackin appealed to the Connecticut supreme court. The city was upheld. All this time the city was losing time in it's cndeavor to improve the Waterville park. The state supreme court upheld the finding of the superior court. MT. Mackin then appealed to the United States supreme court on the grounds that his constitu- tional rights were being violated by the city stepping in and exercising the power of eminent domain.
 Corporation Counsel Charles S.. O'Connor and Claims Attorney Ed- ward J. Mcdonald appeared for the city before the United States su- preme court. The claim of Mackin was turned down after 6 review. In 1929 the local superior court fin- ally entered a satisfaction of judg-

RY WTLLTs 8. DUNTWAY


 Salem, Oregon, May IA = (UP)-- There will be no doubt about Ore gon's presidential, preferences in the primary election tomorrow.
 President Roosevelt and Vice. President Garner are unopposeo on the democratic ticket. Candi- dates for the lO seats as delegates to the party'S national convention in Philadelphia are pledged to the administration.
 Senator William E. Borah and William s. Bonnet, New York ate torney, are unopposed for presi- dent and vice-president on the republican ballot, and the State's 10 delegates to the convention in Cleveland will 90 instructed to vote for them on at least the first ballot.
 After that, the delegation Is ex- pected to switch to Senator Ffeds erick Steiwer of Oregon, the cone ventions keynote speaker, and sup- port him if he shows any strength as Q dark-horse candidate.
 Williams May Be DepOSed
 Ralph E. Williams, dean of the republican national committee, who spoisored Steiner as keynoter, faces 6 fight for reelection against Q younger republican and Townsend organizer.
 The voting strength of the thou- sands of adherents of the Town send plan is unpredictable. Despite the congressional investigation and dissension among leaders, oregon has remained Q Townsend strong hold and membership is said to Do increasing.
 Five of the l2 republican cons gressional candidates and four of the 12 democrats openly eSpouse the plan. Only one opposes 1t out- right, and even he lists old age pension legislation as one Of his aims.
 Senator Charles L. McNary, minor ity leader, with a record of 20 years continuous service, faces his first real battle for re.nonination.
 Rivals Are T0wnsenditeS
 Sam II. Brown, farmer, and Theodore c. Nelson, realtor, both of McNary's own home county, oppose him for the republican nomination. Both men are Town- sendites. Brown is @ former state senator and unsuccessful candi- date for governor Nelson has never before figured in Oregon politics.
 Candidates for the democratic nomination for senator are John A. Jeffrey, Portland, and Wills .Mahoney, fiery mayor of Klamath Falls, southern oregon city. Both have endorsed the pension plan.
 Representative James W. Mott is unopposed for re-nomination in the states first congressional district. Three men seek democratic ap- proval: Byron c. Carney, D. w. Kirkpatrick and Cortis D. Stringer all members of the state legislature last year for the first time.
 Tn the End district, five men art cumbent, Representative Walter M Pierce of birth control legislation fame, is democrat, opposed by Clinton P. Haight, editor and er1- dorsed Townsendite.
 Representative William A. Ekwall, incumbent, has two republican op- ponents in the third congressional district. Two women and three men are on tho democratic ballot, only one advocating tho Townsend scheme.

It was sent without schuschnigg's knowl- edge, 1t was said; and Schuschnigg and his hard boiled co-leader Reith- CT, Starhcmberg'S open enemy for years, believed 1t unwise. They said 1t was an indirect attack on Great Britain and other nations joining in penalties against Italy.
 6tarhember'S future was uncer- tain. As vice chancellor under Schuschnigg he was the real leadeS, Now Reither is the power, along with Schuschnigg. Starhemberg was busted uncereinoniouSly from office and from power. His sole hope for immediate return to lead- ership was some desperate move.

ON GENERAL PRINCIPLES REP-AM. ARE "AGIN"

Editor Democrat:

Editor Democrat.
 There Is q tale of two IriShmcn who were shipwrecked on a south ern Pacific Island. Finding them selves the only survivors of the tragedy and with no visible signs of habitation in thier immediate vicinity they began speculating upon tho chances of the island being inhabited whe- ther If 50 it had a government and what their attitude toward such government should be. Pat said to his friend Mike: "If there is a government where do you Stand2" Mike promptly answered "On general principles, I'm agin the government"
 The Republican Partys chief spokesmen tho Rep-Am. seem to be obsessed by the same politi- cal philosophy as my friend Mike. They have so long been in a hope less minority that the ideas of a city government not of their dic- tation no matter how laudable in themselves can never change their (r)age-old attitude of being "agin" the administration. In their chagrin they seem to forget that a city administration is not elected, reelected, and re-re-elect ed, on any stronger reason than the people being fools all of the time"
 The latest molehill which has assumed Alpine proportions is the proposed construction of the Bald- win street bridge. Nobody will deny the necessity of this innova- ton. For at least a generation the lower Baldwin street section has been eulogized as the stronghold of democracy in the most consist ent democratic city in New Eng land. Biennially the Democrats have held their final rally there and biennially the district rec sponded with a record democratic majority. Yet it was not until the advent of the present administra- ton that this particular section has come into It's own. The erec- tion of the proposed new bridge is but a belated act of justice. Anybody with an unbiased mind and a casual acquaintance with the topography of the section and the traffic conditions which such a structure will help largely to solve will have to admit it's need.
 Az for the cost acquiring the properties involved, on first read ing, the figures looked more like the result of condemnation pro- ceedings than any wild financial orgy on the part of the city.
 And, believe it or not. Mfr. Ed- itor. am not a resident of the section.

 exoung Republicans" Mfr. 0oodsell declared, "do not have any selfish interest to serve. Their only inter- ct is to protect their heritage, to preserve the government bequeathed ils by our ancestors. Tn this cam paign of 1898, our party Is faced with ono of the hardest battles in It's history. We do not have an army Cf paid workers who may spend time away from their civic duties to pro- mote the interests of the party. Our opponents have such an organiza- ton, an army of paid federal and state employees who, together with huge sums of federal money, may De used at strategic points to in- fluence votes. This gives them a tremendous advantage; but on the other hand, we have right on our side. We are fighting for an ideal and handicapped though we may be, we must make up for the lack of paid workers and Q huge SluSh fund by adding volunteers to our cause.
 we must be willing to give freely as much of our time as we possibly departed from it's ancient principlea and has adopted for itself Q social- istic program"
 Volunteer Army
 Urging that every effort be made to draw into the party every possi- bic prospect, the speaker declared that on election day the entire mem- bership of the Young Republicans should become 8 volunteer "army which will go out, in a systematic way, block leaders and district leareds, organized to get out the vote against the Roosevelt adminiStra- tion."
 In presenting the charters, MT Ooodsell said that they were to the Young Republicans, Q challenge tc work and fight for the party and the principles of Lincoln, Mckinley Roosevelt and Coolidge"

 Of Much Interest
 Q. 6. Attorney General Homer 5. Cummings will lead the battle to have McNoll reelected national committeeman. The battle, being 2 statewide one, is of especial interest to Waterburians here. It iS very Ap- parent that the 6pellacy led forces will fight for the election of Paul Connery of Norwalk to the national committee despite efforts Of Attor- Yey Cummings to have tho NorWnlk man withdraw. It is also likely that if Q battle Is averted tho "old guard" will gain It's point by having Attor. ney General Edward J. Daly oG Connecticut named in the place of either McNeil or Connery.
 State Central Committee
 Town Chairman Crary, Town Clerk Dora A. Egan, Senator Joseph II. Lawior and Mrs. Gertrude Cor- den will attend meeting of the democratic state central committee at the Hotel Taft tomorrow after noon ct 6 o'clock.

 His victorious campaign in the Holy Land set the seal on Allenby's fame in the popular imagination throughout the world. Military ex" pertS have not forgotten, however, that Allenby directed the cavalry pursuit which clinched the allied victory on the Marine in 1914.
 It was Allenby, in command of the British third army, who launched the spring offensive Of 1917 on tho western front, resulting in the capture of Vimy Ridge with 1i,0O0 prisoners and 146 guns after 12 hours of fighting.

For years, rather than months Reither, middle aged, blunt farmer, leader of the national peasant or. ganiEation and the lower Austrian chamber of peasants, governor of lower Austria, has been organizing openly against Starhenlberg. He and schuSchnigg arc leaders of the Catholic storm troopers, militant Roman Catholic ic-rnonarchists, long opposed to starhemberg's fascist Heimwchr.
 Peasants Want Freedom
 Starhemherg in recent speech denounced Austria liberalism. Reith- CT replied, in Q speech May 3 which significantly, President Wilhelm Miklas attended. Ho attacked schuschnigg and starhemberg alike and said: "Tho government is too autocratic. We peasants want freedom" Then Starhemberg made plans to sec Mussolini tomorrow. Yesterday ho sent MusHolini-his model and idol--a telegram of ful- some praise on his conquest of Italy Then schuschnigg and ReithSr struck. Some l2 hours before etar- heinberg was to fly to Rome 6chuschnigg offered the cabinets resignation. Instead of accepting President Miklas Snandated him at once to reconstruct tho government as ho liked.

It was em. phasiSed that etarhemberg left the cabinet without Q difference with Schuschnigg on basic policy.
