The past: On the night Of June
4, 1929, 600 distinguished and we'll
known guests, each of whom had
received an invitation and paid $lo,
attended the opening of the Central
Park Casino, which had been taken
over by the Dieppe corporation.
That corporation had on it's govern
ing board none other than Anthony
]. Drexel Biddle, Jr.; William Rhine
lander Stewart, Jr., and Adolph
Zukor. James Walker, then mayor,
was present and so many nights
thereafter that the Casino in no
time at all became known as "Jim-
my Walkers night club" Society
hocked there and the corporation
prospered. An investigation con-
Quoted some time after that aus
picious opening showed that in four
years it had collected more than 3d.
100000. But as most of that great
gross came from the pockets OF the
rich, there hadn't been much COM
plant. Still, there were those who
thought the city should get more
than $500 year as it's share.
The present: Among those who
cherished that thought was Fiorello
III. LaGuardia, who was making a
campaign for mayor. He charged
that the Dieppe corporation was so
greedy that it even took percent
age of the walters tips. Besides that
| the playground Of the public Cen
trail park was no place for a swanky
eating place. LaGuardia was not
elected that time. He ran again and
was. His choice for park commits
sioner was Robert 81. Moses who
held ideas similar to those of his
boss. So he promptly ordered the
Casino to close up. The matter got
into the courts, the corporation hold
ing that as the contract didn't ex-
pire until 1889, it intended to stay.
| It lost the first decision. Now it has
lost an appeal and the Casino, the
scene Of so many brilliant affairs, Is
to be torn down to make a play.

No compromise: The principal
complaint against the Casino con

Westinghouse has been several
months since the administration
farm relief pro-
memory gram, the agricul-
I;noors On tural adjustment
act, was declared
dead, but like the words OF the song,
"the memory fingers on" And it is
quite apparent that mistakes as
well as memories Of the AAA will
continue through the heat of the
coming Presidential campaign and
probably considerably longer, for 1t
is only necessary to recall that the
stepbrother of the AAA, the federal
farm board Of the Hoover admins
tration, still is the butt Of much
criticism and many pointed para
graphs.
One of the main reasons why the
memories linger on, where those
memories involve AAA, is Michi-
CAMS Republican Senator Arthur FL.
Vandenberg. Senator Vandenberg
never did get enthusiastic about the
merits Of AAA as they were ex-
pounded by Secretary Wallace, Ad-
ministrator Chester Davis and other
New Deal spokesman, and when the
Supreme court Of the United States
threw out the processing taxes upon
which the law was predicated, Sen
ator Vandenberg was in delightful
spot from a political standpoint.
He has not found it necessary to
say II told you so" and has had, l
imagine, a great deal Of personal
fun in simply limiting to or remind
ing others of his previous stand.
But it was not until the Michigan
senator began pulling figures out of
his senatorial hat, showing how ben
eft payments from the AAA had
gone to great and wealthy corpora
lions in sums as high as million
dollars or more, that he held key
to the New Deal skeleton closet.
They know now, however, exactly
what he meant when he announced
in the senate several weeks ago that
no such plan as the AAA could be
administered without vast sums be-
ing distributed in what he termed
unwarranted ayments-unwarran
ed from the standpoint Of help for
the smaller farmers.
Secretary Wallace stalled off
Senator Vandenberg's demand in
the senate for a complete list oil
beneiciaries who received checks
from AAA in excess of one thou
sand dollars for quite while, bu
there were too many senators wht
believed as Senator Vandenberg did
that the truth ought to be known
OF course, as the procedure usual.
goes in Washington, many thing
are done without actual force bein!
used. 1t was thus in the case o
the AAA payments. Democratic sen
ators who foresaw their inability t
prevent senate vote demanding
list Of AAA payments persuaded MI
Wallace to make public the list vo
unfairly and it was done just in &C
vance Of senate action. So, we no,
have for the first time, at least, a
indication of the grotesque result
of the agricultural adjustment al

German Irish Gatherings Re. Called, By Visit Of
 Herman
 Kunkel
BY THE OUT EASTER

Visiting In Waterbury just now is Q native of the city, but who Is and for the past eight years has been an instructor ot music for the government in ono of It's various institutions organized and maintained for the benefit of the Indian.
 He IS Herman A. Kunkel, who was c North Ender in his young days, and whose people still live up that way, and are well known among the older residents of the district. Herman Is now the official Instructor of music in the Indian school of Phoenix, AriE. He left Waterbury in 1928 for Salem, Ore, but was transferred to Phoenix, in io30. There are 600 Indian students and 100 teach- CTS; the students range in ago from l4 to a years.
 Before leaving Waterbury, Mir. Kunkel, like his brother, William, was identified with the American band, and also played with the orchestraS that supplied music at tho Poli theater and tho Jacques theAter. During the war he was Q member of tho 304th infantry at Camp Devens and served as as- sistant band master. He was also the director of the American Legion band, attached to tho Wa terbury organigation,
 William, the brother, is now instructor of music in the State University at Albuquerque, New Mexico. For years he was the recognized piccolo Soloist of the American band, succeeding tho late and talented Johnny Parsons, and later played with Sousa for Q number of years, also as soloist.
 The name of Kunkel has been associated with the life of Wa terbury for Q great many years. Years ago we had Q Kunkel hotel on Scovill street, In the days when the Irish and the Germans com- prised the greater number of resi- dents in and about Scovill street and Q portion of South Elm street. At every affair of any prominence conducted by the German people of the city, representatives of various fine old families bearing the Kunkel name have been present.
 we like the name Kunkel for what 1t recalls to us in the days of the past when we danced in Myers hotel in Scovill street. and where we were all well treated by the German people of the city" declared an old time Irishman to- day. You of the present day have no idea of the close aSsocia- ton of the Irish and the Ger man here fifty and more years ago. Our respect and admira- ton for them still holds, although such great old friends aS Henry Menold, Dan Klefer, Martin He'll mann and others like them have. gone their way. When I mot young Kunkel, right away the name brought back pleasant recollec- tions: sure I like the name, just as love the names of other old time German families of the city: their descendants are dear to me just like the ones who are now dead and gone."
 Mir. Kunkel will stay around Waterbury for a brief time in his visit to old friends and acquain- tancc5.
 We used to think the American band was the greatest band in the land," we said to him.
 And 1t was," he replied.
 Under Jim Fulton as the leader, Mir. Kunkel played the trombone.
