Curtain for Hauptmann

The most convincing thing in all the recent messing with the Hauptmann kid naping case has been the conduct of Samuel S. Leibowitz. This New York criminal lawyer, whose business is plead ing for criminals, who has had remark able success in his line, and who presunn- ably would have championed the cause of Hauptmann now if he saw any hope of success, held lengthy conferences with the prisoner alone and in the presence of witnesses, and then withdrew from the case.
 In doing so he made this remarkable statement: T think Hauptmann is as guilty as hell, but he had accomplices. l cannot see how can serve the purpose k of justice by any further participation" :" Hauptmann, he added, told him an incredible story, admitted he had lied, and refused to name his accomplices "EIis admissions, and his attitude, to- getIer with the evidence at his trial, was as good as complete confession to me-" said Leibowitz.
 A highly successful criminal trial law yer, familiar with all the tricks of the profession and the psychology of crimin- als, should be as good judge of such case as anybody. Leibowitz's testimony seems sincere. He is giving up case that doubtless promised good fee and profit able publicity. It seems in order now to draw the curtain for the last time on the Hauptmann case.

The New League Palace

The League of Nations has begun moving into it's beautiful new palace outside the city of Geneva on the slopes of Lake Leman. The building is not en- tirely finished. The great assembly cham Der will not be ready for the meeting of the League Assembly next September. The library, to which John D. Rockefeller, Jr., donated $2,000,000 will not be opened for six weeks.
 The Leagues home was started on March 1, 1881. In the five years since that date many things have happened which make cynics wonder whether there is really any need for League of Nations Palace and whether an impregnable fortress would not have been more appropriate. If the League cannot func- tion as a peace-keeper among nations, as it was supposed to do, what difference does it make how it is housed?
 The lovely new building may be only monument to a noble idea. But the League is not dead yet. And if, as some one has said, the time had come when civilization required some such organiza- tion for it's own further progress, the League won't die.

What Lies Ahead?

Governor Wilbur L. Cross sudden deci- sion to call special session of the Legls- lature to deal with the problems of social security is an abrupt shift from his former stand on such assemblies. Ever since he was first inaugurated into office in 1881 the governor has literally been besieped with demands for special Ses- sions. He never proved willing, though, to summon such an assembly until this week when his announcement that one would be called in December was made public.
 No doubt the reason for calling old legislators together one month before new Assembly will gather in Hartford IS due to the fact that phases of the fed- eral social security act go into effect on January 1, 1937 which might impose some restrictions or hardships upon this state if 1t did not have the necessary laws to correspond. All of which would indicate that previous efforts to have the state prepare for this event were not so far of.
 We still admit to feeling that special sessions aren't all they are cracked up to be. And we think that before our Con- necticut solons go into their huddle, 1t should be made clear that the session IS called for but one real purpose. If the situation is made clear and the call IS definite perhaps we can wiggle through the special session without committing the state to some policy that the incom- ing Legislature will promptly undo
 Some may argue that the special ses- sion might well be called now so that it would be out of the way before nom- nations and elections. The delay is ad- visable so that the governors special commission on unemployment insurance may make a report next fall It may contribute to the facts needed to guide the legislators in framing laws for Con- necticut participation in federal and state benefits. We sincerely hope the special session will do what it sets out to do and no more than that.

Conscripting Emigrants

England once stirred up heap of trouble in this country, and invited en- during entity against herself, by insisting on the principle of "once an Englishman, always an Englishman." Now Germany is trying 1t, and as result will soon be fin worse" with the world including the United States, than she is already.
 A new order of the Nazi government requires all Germans, no matter where they live, to register for state labor and military service. The rule applies not only to German citizens living at home and abroad, but to Germans who have become citizens of other countries There are many such in the United States and other countries, including Germany's neighbors.
 The Nazi government cannot enter other countries and drag their natural ized citizens of German birth back to Germany for this cQnscript service. But it can hold the order over tkeir heads, and "crack down on them" if they ever re- turn to the Fatherland. for any purpose.

An Eminent Career

It was with some regret that we noticed that a new headmaster had been named at Taft School in Watertown. This means, of course, the retirement of the well-knoWn and highly-respected Horace D. Taft from this position which he has held for close to half century or ever since he founded the school that bears his name back in 1890. However, we were glad to learn that although MT. Taft retires as headmaster at the close of his academic year he will remain as head of the Board of Trustees.
 From small beginnings Taft School has grown to an important place in the preparatory schools of the nation. A study of it's roster of students shows them hailing from many sections of the coun- try. The same holds true of the alumni directory. And prominent names stud the list from top to bottom. The school was originally maintained solely by MT. Taft himself, but as its reputation spread it became non-profit making institution controlled by board of trustees.
 The beautiful buildings and grounds have long been show spot in nearby Watertown. Judging by the good things that are said about Paul F. Cruikshank, the youthful headmaster who will suc- ceed Dr. Taft he is well qualified to carry on the work so well begun. He is at present headmaster of Romford School in Washington, Conn, which he founded in 1881. His schooling has been consider able since he graduated from Yale in 1920 He brings to his task of following in the footsteps of an illustrious scholar youth and experience. He should succeed.

The Massachusetts legislative com nittee on highways and motor vehicles was asked last week to take some action of the proposed widening of the well-known Southwest Cutoff near Worcester. So many accidents have occurred on this straightaway which allows traffic ap- preaching Worcester from the south and heading towards Boston to avoid the city entirely that efforts are being made to change its contour. It seems only few days ago that this road was being held up to Connecticut as the most modern only goes to prove that it isn't the widest or the smoothest roads that insure safety. It's the driver nine times out of ten. Massachusetts would widen. it's grand cutoff even though it's so wide now eight or ten cars could pass. Whats the answer?

Something Really TnasSNWfanG

If the Headers" in the teaching world want something really ina- portant about which to get excited they might better skip the loyalty oath and turn their angry eyes on the issue of avoirdupois among school teachers. Four years ago Q girl in New York City was denied Q license to teach biology because she tipped the beam ct hundred and eighty-two pounds. The sight of SO much poundage was thought by the board Of examiners to be q distraction for the young idea learning to shoot 60 tho girl was given six months to get down to one hundred and fifty pounds. She could not make the weight m the allotted time and when she asked for an extension to knock of the odd four pounds the old saeanies would not give it to her. There were thirty days during which the Aesh.shedder could have appealed from the examiil- ers' ruling but whkt with going
 without cream in her cone, pota- toes. and candy, the biology lass lost track of the time. When she appealed 1t was too late. Now it will take Q unanimous opinion cf the United States.

through greenbacks. This is one of the chief legislative proposals advocated by the Detroit priest.
 But administration leaders promptly shunted the bill to the House Rules Committee, headed by O'Connor.
 Ordinarily, a bill endorsed by so important a body as the Agricul- ture Committee is quickly given the right of way for floor consid- eration. But O'Connor and the other Administration leaders are determinedly opposed to Frazier Lemke imitation. So, despite much heat and clamor, the bill has languished over since in a Rules Committee pigeon -hole.
 O'Connor was hotly denounced for suppressing the measure, hit back with @ counter charge i'm pugning the sincerity of the Agri-' culture Committees action. Buck Passing
 He claims that the committee was merely passing a hot potato" to his group, and that Chairman Marvin Jones and the other demo- cratic members of the Agriculture Committee privately intimated to him that they wanted no action on the bill.
 O'Connor's accusation of buck passing" is given considerable color by the wide variance of accounts within the agriculture committee of its vote on the enlbattled Frazier-Lemke bill.
 Its packers claim that the count for . favorable report was IS to 5. This was stated over the air by Coughlin. Foes of the bill contend the tally was 13 to 12. A record of the proceedings shows 8 committee members ab- sent, 15 voting for and 5 against. Incurable
 On the last day of the Senate Munitions Committee hearings, two gun dealers stepped outside the committee room and held a private conversation in the hall.
 One was J. Cuneil de Figuerola, Spanish born American, who has supplied guns and ammunition for many a revolution. The other was Jacob Paley, who had turned from the millinery trade to sal- vaging machine guns junked by the U. S. army.

 Monroe Doctrine
 The Monroe Doctrine is dead
 Probably no one in the State Department would admit this, but 1t is the report quietly being made by Latin American diplo- mats to their governments.
 What they say killed the Monroe Doctrine in . provision in the amended Neutrality Bill recently passed by the House and Senate. The bill specifics that i'm case of war between Q Latin American country and . European enemy, the United States may sell arms to the American country but not to the European.
 This, according to Latin- American diplomats, presupposes that the United States would per- init a European country to invade an American country and, aside from selling arms, would do nothing about 1t.
 The Monroe Doctrine general ly is interpreted as meaning the opposite. In fact, when it was ira- voked by President Cleveland against Great Britain and Ger many to protect Venezuela. he made 1t clear that the United States would 90 to war to uphold the inviobility of the Western Hemisphere.
 Now, according to the implica- ton of the new Neutrality Bill, we will only sell arms. The Latin American nations will have to do ' their own fighting.

Selected Poem
IF IN FEBRUARY

(Edyth Sage Armstrong in the Christian Science
 Monitor) If, in February, Spring comes home, As come she does in sunny cline and warm, Her treasures burst in many lovely form: Acacia feathering out in golden foam, Rose quince, first hamburger of shrub and flowers Of Orient faintly breathing. And violets Forgetting cold and winters sad regrets, Proclaim the joy of sun and sudden showers. For pussy-wilow counts 1t not too strange To burst her buds along Q tumbling stream And fragrant daphne chooses as her range A hillside. But sweet dafiodil with nodding beam Publishes truth long known: none would exchange For other seasons joys, Springs precious dream.

It may be months before the magnifi- cent Rockwell mansion in Bristol is razed and its priceless woodwork, decorations, etc., removed to New Britain. Many of the doors in the mansion are handcarved and almost priceless. The panel work is also declared to be something that could not be duplicated today. The home, long one of the show places of Bristol, was bought by an Italian church in New Britain mainly for the materials in the structure, which certainly proves some thing or other about building with an eye to the artistic as well as permanency.

Why the Oath?

The obligation on the part of teachers of swearing allegiance to the government was imposed by several state legislators because disloyalty was actually being taught by men and women who were drawing salaries from the commonwealth. Legislators were deaiing with Q fact and not en- gagged in witch hunting. It is noi1- sense to judge the country ct large by conditions in Waterbury.
