First Of His Kind

Speaking in Naugatuck last week Mayor Frank Hayes said among other things, q would not give five cents to be Governor except for the fact that l would be the first Irish Catholic Gov ernor of Connecticut. ." Already this is being regarded in many circles as formal indication of his intentions Of seeking the gubernatorial nomination this fall. We do not believe it was in- tended as such, for the simple reason that Waterbury's mayor has repeatedly stated when questioned that if the party calls him, he will serve.
 It should be recalled right now, per- haps, that two years ago when the demo- crats convened down at Eastern Point, Mayor Hayes was not conducting any sort of campaign for nomination. He was ultimately persuaded to run for lieutenant-governor only after the most powerful of arguments had been used and it had been pointed out that the best interests of the democratic party would best be served by his candidacy for lieutenant-governor We think the same sentiments prevail now as then. Where the best interests of the party are con- cerned, he will serve.
 His statement of last week no more than one made some time ago in, which he stated that if the party asked it of him he would seek the gubernatorial nomination. We feel sure that if the party asks him to run for lieutenant governor again and he feels that he can't very well desert his ticket, he will be very much in the foreground as an active campaigner. If he is called in another direction, we feel sure the same thought will be uppermost. That's known as party loyalty and service, which rank high with Waterbury's mayor.

Community Chest Appeals

Talk of a Community Chest for Wa terbury will not down. It Is quite evident from all we read that the idea is appeal inc to more and more Waterburians, particularly public officials or those who are responsible for the financial. campaigns that the various local relief and charitable groups conduct annual ly. While no really definite action has been taken it is understood that un- officially sentiment on the subject is be- ing sought out and tabulated so that sooner or later some concrete proposal may be offered.
 In the light of what has taken place in Waterbury In the past few years of the depression we should say that the city is ripe for the Community Chest plan. We have seen what could be ac- complished by voluntary contributions to a relief fund that was set up to guar antee an opportunity of earning live lihood to the. unfortunate unemployed. It must be clear to all of us that concert ed action like this is always productive of results. We feel the same thing could be done with our local charities and other organizations, whose conduct de- pends on public donations.
 The Community Chest plan coordi- mates large number of independent drives for public funds. It imposes the necessity of any group placing itself pretty strictly on budget, living up to efficient management. It encourages a wider response in that for six or seven drives, the individual now has substi- tuted one. Where in some cases the size of the individuals contribution to the Community Chest may fall off, this should be made up by additional con- tributors who rebelled when assailed by a series of pleas There's more to 1t thar this, but this is enough for now.

This sounds like WPA project. Work has really begun on canal which will link the Black Sea with the Caspian Sea by way of the Sea of Azov. This will make the Caspian available to ocean shipping. However, from what we read Russia is doing the job and not the WPA of the good old U. S. A. It's part of a system of inland waterways that Russia is building to create cheap transporta- tion. The sea to sea canal is to be 400 miles long, but some portions of 1t will consist of the Manich River, now being Widened and deepened

General Strikes

That general strike In Pekin, H., was another good example of the wrong way to handle a labor dispute and the inevit- able reaction. The American public while generally approving of union labor and collective Bargaining, and sanctioning the strike principle within reasonable limits, as labor's only effective weapon when negotiations fail, insists on strike being kept within its own proper bound aries.
 A general strike overfiows those bound aries. It is directed not merely against the employers in the dispute, but against the public. It aims to win its battle by making life so hard for noncombatants that they in self-defense will put enough pressure on the employers to make the latter yield to the strikers. The unfair ness of punishing unoffending citizens and destroying unoffepding business is 70 obvious that AnericaSs will not stand k 1t. H+
 This fact has been demonstrated over And over again. It is ssiid that no general strike in this country has ever won If the strikers win, they do'so only by ceas-

War Debt Feeler

There may be more than meets the eye in feeler put out by Greece for payment of her American war debt. The new gov ernmerlt under the restored monarch, King George, wants to meet the interest on it's debt to Uncle Sam, and also Sug- gests possible payment of the principal if it could be scaled down to something like 35 per cent.
 In any international action by King Georges government, it is we'll to remem- her his close association with Great Brit ain. His restoration was prompted by the British royal family, with the approval of the British cabinet. Greek royalty and British royalty are intermarried, the posi- tion of Greece in the eastern Mediter- ranean is important to the British Elm pire, and British influence there has long been powerful.
 It might be just be possible that the British government and some of our other war debtors have put Greece up to sounding out this country regarding fractional settlement of war debts. Such an adjustment with Greece would estab- fish precedent Settling at anything like the rate mentioned would be a tremen- dous concession, and perhaps unpopular at first thought. Yet one dollar out of three on those 12 billions of foreign debts would be $4,000, 100000 better than nothing-Which is what we stand to get from the present deadlock

Unless something unforeseen happens President Franklin D. Roosevelt will con- clude four years in office next January without having the privilege of naming new member of the United States Supreme Court. There have been few presidents in recent years who have not nominated justices. Herbert Hoover had the added honor of naming the present Chief Justice, Charles Evans Hughes, who himself holds the honor of having served on this court, resigned to run for the presidency, and finally be renamed to it as Chief Justice. The oldest member on the court now in actual service is Justice Willis Van Devanter, who was appointed in 1911 by the late William Howard Taft. Justice Van Devanter is 77 years old, which makes him three years younger than Justice Louis D. Brandeis, Wood- row Wilson appointee, and the oldest justice on the bench.

 Science Monitor. A lilac ribbon is unbound, A band of gradual rose untied, And To- the glowing book of day Is opened on the mountain side, What care can move what grief can chill? From this SO rich-illumined scroll, For whose peruSal one need pay Only just delight a8 toll Tho brooks clean silver set in stones Is balanced by the silver sheen Of clean-stripped ogs which, In field, Seem floating down river of green, FurZe bears no flowers, but the tones Of sunlight that a bird has sung, And broken purples are the yield Of hoarded twil!ghts, meadow-nung Against heavens faithful blue A fadeless forest lifts It's plnes wgg From shadows deepening to black w A slim and Shadowy road inclineS. Upon the printed air, how true stand lizard, lake, and leaf, page-still; Here in the country of no lack What care can move, what grief can chill?

 A few minutes later Mrs. Roose- welt came in, eyed her young est-born, and perhaps remember ing the debonair Harvard days of his father when she first fell In love with him, she remarked:

 If you are worried about cur- rency imitation during this ses- sion of congress, here are two fairly positive trends to keep in inihd.

 2. Almost any kind of an in- flntionary measure will Do vetoed by the President. His veto will be sustained.
 Therefore, since ono from one still leaves zero-~--even in these topsy-turvy days of the New Deal there will Do no imitation. This does not mean, however, that it will not be debated back and forth perhaps more than any other question.

 Only four more signatures arc necessary. Actually 23b members have signed, but under pr6ssure from Speaker Byrns, nineteen have withdrawn their names.
 If the Fraxler- Lemke bill comes to vote in the House, 1t Is certain to pass. Its fate in tho Senate Is less sure.
 However, 1t Is certain that neither it nor the Patinan propos- al to pay the bonus with groeii- backs can override the Presidents veto.

They wanted Co know from the Nine old Men if taking Q pollce- man, willy.nilly, across the state line Co prevent said policeman from making an arrest came with in the meaning of tho Lindbergh acts language, "held for ransom or reward or otherwise" They also wanted to know if it was an offense ito kldnap and transport Q person In interstate commerce. for the purpose of preventing the arrest of tho kidnapper."

No self respecting pollcc- man rellshes being called an item of interstate commerce. But there is nothing funny in tho unanimous answer given by Mir. Justice Mc- Reynolds oplnionating for the en- tlre Supreme Court bench. Tho language of tho learned justice deserves quotation. ItsgoeS:--
 Evidently Congress intended to prevent transportation in in. terstato or foreign commerce Of persons who were being unlaw- fully restrained in order that the oapt0r might secure some benefit to himself. And this is adequately expressed by tho words of the enactment.
 "Whlle penal statutes arc nar- rowly construed, this does not require rejection of that sense ln the words which best hap-
 mOnlEes with the context and the end ln view.
 "TEoldIng m officer to prevent Che captOFs' arrest is something done with the expectation of benefit to the transgressoF. So also Is kidnapping with purpose to secure money. These benefits, while not the same, gre similar In their general nature and the desire to secure either of them may lead to Kidnapping. if the word reward, as commonly un.
 derstood, ls not Itself broad enough to include benefits OK. pected to follow tho prevention of an arrest, they fall within the

 agree amongst themselves on in- terpretations of the Constitution, how can the skim milk lawyers of the Congress and the Senate Do expected to hit the constitu- tional bulls eye every time they pass legislation. When President Roosevelt some months ago ex- pressed the thought that tho legiS- lative branch of the government should enact laws about whose constituttonailty they were in doubt, ho was made the recipient of the most savage kind of attack from the Republican press and the spokesmen for oil tho forces lined up against him. Yet Mir. Rooso. welt was only repeating what the ordinary citizen Is constantly say- ing to himself. If every lawyer itl the Senate and tho House Of Rep- resentativos forgot their political connections and unanimously passed c law their action would still be gamble because no one could, or can, know what the Sue preme Court will do or how many Justices will approve and how many disapprove of the legisla- ton. The Child Labor law was junked because Ave members of the court said it ran contrary to the commerce clauses of the Con- stltution although four equally learned members said 1t didn't do any such thing. The AAA was scrappod because six Justices do- cided that it belonged on the scrap heap while three thought it belonged on the statute books. It would seem therefore to this de- partment that when MT. Roose- welt suggested to the low makers that they 90 ahoad and take Q chance with the Constitution tho suggestion was both reasonable and Just. No ton fortune tellerB on earth can foretell what the Supreme Court. tho final Inter- preter of tho document, will de- eide about anything. Sometimes they disagree and sometimes they agree. But what justice will diS- agree with what other justice on what measure and what features of that measure not even the jus- tices themselves know. Last week however, there was q complete agreement in c case with tho re- suit that even conservative fi1eiti- bers of the legal fraternity are still gasping.
