Doubts About Radio

(New York TimeS)
 Coming back to Roosevelt and the radio who has really demonstrated that if you speak to millions of people over the air you hold the country in the hollow of hand? It only the other day that Americans were supposed to be clay in the hands of Father Coughlin because the good priest spoke to countless millions of people every week. incidentally who counted the countless millions? Father Coughlin today looms much smaller either Power Menace
 We may get much closer home. MT. Fletcher and other gentlemen of the Republican National Commit tee will be the last to deny that President Roosevelt has been slipping badly in the last year To quote MT Fletchers favorite statistics the Roosevelt popularity has slipped from original 66 percent of the people about 40 percent of the people. Yet all this time MT. Roosevelt has had to the radio and has made free of it. and has qualified best radio speaker. Why, then, all these passionate Republican tears?

MUSIC VS.. PROSE
IS SELECTION ISSUE
Pen Women Weigh Merits
of Candidates for League
President.

Music was pitted against literature
today as the National League of Amer
lean Pen Women, in convention here
at the Willard Hotel, nominated ma
tional officers.
Mrs Clyde Robertson, novelist, poet
and short story writer, of Denver and

ton in the history of the league"

noon tomorrow.
Since their credentials were filed
several months ago, Mrs. Robertson
and Mrs Hoyt have been friendly
rivals" and delegates say that opposi-
ton to either candidate is based on
whether the twenty-eighth president
of the league shall be a composer or
writer

that the league will lose its identity

clan is elected" according to Miss

Mrs. Hoyt's supporters, however,
contend that since music is a definite
department of the league there should
be no discrimination in the choice of a
president.
Both Mrs Hoyt and Mrs. Robertson
have been actively identified with the
leagues work during the administra-
ton of Mrs. Victoria Faber Stevenson,
whose two-year term ends with this
convention. Mrs. Hoyt is chairman
of the National Music Committee and
Mrs. Robertson is chairman of the
Books Committee.

 CONNECTICUT AID
Gift of SO Acres in Nor. folk Announced Dock
 May Be Built

Hartford, Jan. 2S.-The acquisi- ton through gift of Wood Creek Pond and approximately 80 acres of adjoining land in the town of Norfolk is announced today by the state board of fisheries and game.
 Deed to the pond and land has been presented to the board by the Doolittle Corporation, of Norfolk, representing owners of lands stiry rounding Doolittle Pond which ad- joins Wood Creek Pond, Ofiicers of the corporation who arranged for the gift were Franklin Starr Jerome of Orange, president; Abel I. Smith, Jr., secretary, and Robbins B. Stoeckef of Norfolk.
 Acquisition of the Norfolk area. according to Oliver B. Ellsworth, of Hartford, chairman of the board, is the result of Q friendly compromise between the board and the corpora ton, entered into in lieu of re- sorting to involved litigation to de- eide the states claim to ownership of all lands below the high water marx at Doolittle' Pond.
 Ways of public access to Doolit- tie Pond have been closed for some time following private acquisition of all surrounding lands" Com- missioner Ellsworth states in 6 bul- letin of the board today. Confer ences between officials of the cor- poration and the board, in which the board proposed the re-establish- ment of public access, brought forth the compromise proposal which has now been accomplished"
 "state ownership of all of Wood Creek Pond and the 50 acres of land at no cost to the state should prove of far more permanent benefit to the public than prolonged litigation to establish claims in an areA ale ready encircled by privately-con- trolled lands particularly so when the larger Wood Creek Pond offers greater opportunities for outdoor recreation to the citizens of the state.r k

Also charged with reckless driving, until details of the crash are cleared up, is Joseph De Rienzo, of 337 Exchange street, New Ha- ven, driver of the truck.
 Turrell, who gave police the ad- dress of the house. in which he stays in Springfield on the other end of his trips, said he did not see the truck until it suddenly loomed in front of him and that the right side of the bus struck the truck in spite of his efforts to avoid it by swerving sharply to the left. He said there were no lights or flares to disclose the presence of the truck. He estimated his speed before the crash at between 40 and 45 miles an hour.
 De Rienzo's Story
 De Rienzo told police that he had turned south from Main street in Middletown into Norfolk street in order to cut short toward the Russell Manufacturing company with his load of coal. He said Noro- folk street was impossible and that he was. preparing to reverse when he heard the bus approaching. He said he couldn't back up in time to get out of the highway.
