The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-03-23

Waterbury, issuing the seventh largest amount of building permits of any city in Connecticut during February, experienced an increase in construction activities practically five times larger than the figure for February, 1935, statistics issued by the department of sales and traffic development of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad com@ pany disclose. Last month permits involving $35,000 worth of construc- tion were issued by Building Inspcc- tor Patrick J. Carlin. The February, 1885, total was $6,3OO.
 Waterbury's tremendous increase in building activities is especially noticeable in view of the fact that in Connecticut as a whole construc- tion work last month, for the second consecutive month, continued on 8 downward trend. Building permits issued in Connecticut during Febru- ary were 30 per cent less than the total for January.
 New Britain Leads
 New Britain headed the state last month with a total of $198,83o worth of permits as against $14,s01 in February, 1895. Hartford came second with @ total of $120,712, as compared to $322,926 for February of last year. Next came Greenwich with figure of $103,52O as against $19,650 in February of 1895. Fourth place was taken by West Hartford

AUTHOR SPEAKS
 ON''MUN|T|ONS''
Government Is Urged to Make All War Essentials,
 and Abolish Profits

Manufacture of all munitions by the government was advocated last night by H. O. Engelbrecht, author and lecturer, in an address before the Mems club forum at Beth Fl synagogue. The speaker, author of Merchants of Death" decrled the profiteering in the making of muni- tions and armaments.
 American soldies, he declared, have been killed by munitions made in this country; armament makers have often fomented war scares in order to sell huge orders; millions of lives have been lost because of the greed of those in control of va rious phases of the munitions in- dustry.
 Mir. Engelbrecht was introduced by Attorney Perry Graicerstein. The latter declared that the speaker s book, and his other writings and lectures, had done much to make possible the Nye investigation in congress.
 During the war between Bolivia and Paraguay, salesman for Q na- jor munitions firm told him that he had sold arms and ammunition to both countries, the speaker asserted. He said that he had often heard stories that the Moro Castle was set ablaze because 1t was carrying mu- nitions which 1t had been unable to land in Cuba.
 He declared that loopholes in the embargo legislation of this country will prevent real enforcement of its provisions.

FIRE DESTROYS
 FACTORY PLANT
Winsted Scene of Blaze Involving Loss of
 $S,OOO

Winsted, March 23-Damage esti- mated at close to 5000 was done by fire which totally destroyed the tin- used Carter flakes factory on Ster- ling place early Sunday morning. Fire department officials said the blaze. which for @ time threatened houses in the vicinity, was probably caused by the carelessness of some trespasser.
 As the height of the blaze ten hose lines were played on the flames. Bremen were aided greatly by the new aerial ladder truck by means of which they obtained strategic poe sitions from which to fight the fire. The brisk wind sent sparks from the old structure flying to other houses but they were extinguished before damage could be done. The three story wooden dwelling on the oppo- site bank of Mad river which was most in danger from the sparks was kept thoroughly soaked.
 The blaze was viewed by hundreds of spectators, who were prevented by police from venturing close enough to become injured by huge chimney which threatened to col- lapse at any moment.
 The shop was at one time used by the Winsted Yarn company and was later taken over by Carter & flakes, makers of milling machines and builders of the brick section.

Propose Change In
 Green Street Name
Lithuanica Avenue Suggested By Local Organiza-
 tiOns; Rev. Benedict GuarOnskas Here Temporarily
BROOKLYN NEWS

Preparations for an appeal to city officials for changing the name of Gre, street to Lithuanica avenue are underway. The movement has originated within the ranks of the newly organized Lithuanian-A Ameri- can Political club of which Thomas Matas is president.
 The suggested name is similar to that given the aeroplane flown across the Atlantic by Lieutenant Felix Waitkus last September which ended crashing at Ballinrobe, Ireland, in an attempt to reach Kaunis, capital city of Lithuania. Local Lithuanian leaders have as- serted that since this heroic attempt, @ street in Chicago within Lith- uanian district has been given a simila. name. The flight attracted international attention.
 Mir. Matas admits considerable in- terest has arisen in connection with the movement. It has been discuss ed at the Lithuanian Independent Political club which he Is also pres- ident.

BIC ED ADVISES
 M'CIVNEY CIRCLE
Columbian Squires, Dads Hear Ex-Big Leaguer at
 Communion Breakfast

Excellent advice for the aspiring baseball player was given yesterday morning by Big Ed" Walsh, Chi cago White Sox pitching sensation of years ago, in the course of an ad- dress at the annual Father and Son Communion Breakfast of Michael McGivney Circle, No. l24, Colum- bian Squires.

 Chief Squire John F. Lynch acted as toastmaster at the breakfast which was served in the clubrooms immediately after church services Tn addition to MT. Walsh, Senior Counselor Maloney was heard and District Deputy John F. Robinson who discussed the Squires in rela- ton to Columbianism.
 MT. Walsh proved an entertain ing speaker relating many incidents of his colored diamond career that appealed to the boys. He stressed such important things as fighting to win always regardless of friendships
 Emmons J. "Chick" Bowen, we'll known Hillhouse High school ath- letic mentor of New Haven, also pointed out the difference between sportsmanship and sentimentality. He showed how easy 1t is to let what we call sportsmanslfp interfere with true fighting spirit in team and kill the spirit to win that should animate every athletic contestant.
 Rev. Joseph Griffin, diocesan di- rector of the Propagation of the Faith and head of the State Mis- sion Aid Society. gave an interest ing discussion of the unsung heroes of history, such as Father Damien and Bishop Torquetelle of the North Pole. He recommended study of their lives to those who desired spiritual comfort in biography form.

MussOlini Landed

MuSSUuHk AAhuucu
 Prof. Pierre s. zampiere, ad- visor of Connecticut Junior Col lege spoke of Premier Benito Mus solini in words of highest praise at the Second Congregational church forum last night.
 The professor took a great part of his time to describe his experi- ences with the fascist leader when both were boys attending school in Florence, Italy, and in Luzanne, Switzerland. The guest said very little about Hitler, except to deny certain statements about the man.
 The manner in which he praised Italys premier can best be illus trated by the following excerpts from his talk:
 "No man can compare with Ben ito Mussolini. He is statesmanl He has done things for his coun- try that you and I would like to do for our country. If you want to condemn Mussolini, condemn the philosophy of William James, Q great American, whose ideas are embraced by Mussolini," Prof. zampiere declared in pronounced German accent"
