The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-02-06

unearCneQ Dy the senate MI Due to lack of funds, the com mittee may not get the entire story into the record. But here are it's highlights:
 U. s. Army rifles and other weapons ilnwanted by the army must be broken up or sold in parts which cannot be used. However, munitions junk-dealers piece together the llnbroken parts, and to handle them have estab- lished two private arsenals, famous throughout the under world but unknown to the world ct large.
 One is am arsenal near New York. The other, Is in Phila- deIphia, where the proprietor asks his customer to step out on the sidewalk to close a deal, 90 he can swear 1t was not made in his shop.
 These munitions junk-dealers have been linked to almost every recent revolution in Latin Amer lea. Tn some cases also the deals were financed by reputable American business firms.
 Brazilian Revolt
 The Munitions Committee is rounding out earlier evidence showing how the Curtiss- Wright Airplane company diverted to the Sac Paulo revolutionaries in 1882 ten planes 1t was building for the Chilean government. Simultaneously United Aircraft diverted to the Brazilian Federal. government several planes being constructed for the U. s. Navy, with the Navy's consent.
 Lee Wade, ex-lieutenant in the Navy, has been subpoenaed by the committee to testify regard ing another airplane deal which he arranged with Brazil at the same time and which promises startling angles.
 The senate committee also has dug up documents showing how American bootleg arms purchased through an alleged coffee loan, were put on board . Canadian boat and shipped to Brazil
 Equally startling are the committees discoveries about attempted revolutions in Cuba, all promoted through the bootleg munitions ring in the United States.
 Possibility of early revolt in Venezuela is seen in the commit tees tip that a deal for large consignment of arms Is being con- cluded here by Venezuelan revo- lutionaries.
 The Munitions Committees in- vestigation may have been long, drawn out, but it will close with 8 wallop. Mrs. Huey Long
 There Is no room for Mrs. Huey Long on the democratic side of the senate chamber.
 Her late husbands desk is now occupied by Senator Gore of Okla homa. And Senator Gore's place has been taken in the shuttle re- sulting from the death of Sena- tor schall.
 When Democrat Benson was appointed to fill the place of Re- publican Schall, he chose not to sit at the same desk, but to join his fellow democrats on the other side of the aisle.
 The empty Louisiana seat made 1t possible to admit him. But 1t made the room more lop-sided than ever-seventy democrats to twenty-five on the. other side.
 When Mrs. Long comes, it will be seventy -0ne to twenty five. And another desk will have to be moved over from the thin ranks of the republicans. Young Republicans
 The Republican National Com- rnittee finally has awakened to the importance of giving a little attention to it's youngsters.
 For some time Q Young Repub- lican organization has existed in name, but in contrast to the Young Democrats 1t has been pallid, milk-and-water outfit.
 Now, however, 6. o. ?. In0guls hAvc decided to give the Young Republicans . shot in the arm. The meeting of the Young Re- publican steering committee here this week was the result.
 To administer further hypos young J. Kenneth Bradley, state senator from Westport, Conn, will remain at 6. o. p. headquar- ters in Washington. Chairman Fletcher also has hired astute Royce Powell to handle publicity. Finally. the Young Reps will get financial assistance from head quarters when needed.
 Daily List
 Laid on the desk of the Presi- dent each morning is Q neatly typed memorandum with wide margins. Compiled by the Na- tional Emergency Council, 1t Is Q list of legislative proposals fav- ored by government agencies, and 1t is a rare day when the num-. Der is less than Q score. ~NwSva sv,v1W9 sNRNNNM --
