A Thought for Today

A fool also is full of words: man cannot tell what shall be; and what shall be after him, who can tell him?-EccIesiastes 1e:14.
 
 A man cannot speak but he judges and re- veals himself With his will, or against his will, he draws his portrait to the eye of others by every word. Every opinion reacts on him who utterS it.-Emerson.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-09-29
After Cross What?

q ' l ! q s H
 But what about the chief execu- tive of the state who may follow Goy Cross2 Will he be motiyated by the highest considerations of the common weal2 Or will he, in the interest of the party which put him in ofhce, play a harmless Dit of politics on the side. What about some of Gov. Cross prede- cessors? Did politics and politi- cal considerations play no part in their appointment of the judges of the higher courts? Were they moved by any other feeling than the commendable desire to see men elevated to the bench who were genuinely fitted for the elevation? trust the Republican governors, B. c. (Before Cross) had nothing but a zeal for even handed application of the law and only a regard for the legal qualifications of the lawyers whom they nominated to the judicial errnine. If that is true a situation worth study exists in the Connecticut higher judiciary.

Adam and Eve

Democrats in the general as- sembly are being branded as traf- fickers in minor court judge ships and accused of being se- ducers of minded republican legislators who, if left unsempted, would never have fallen from grace. Democratic senators have been playing Eve to republican senators. Adam dazzling their eyes and corrupting their civic con- sciences with judicial Rhode Is- land Greetings and prosecutorial Big Pippins. Politics always had a ringer, no say nothing of 8 fist, in judicial appointments to the upper bench III Connecticut. In some instances the appoint ments were characterized by any, thing but the dignity which Gov- ernor Cross insists should accom- pany the selection of administra- LOTS of the high and the middle justice. He may be the sort of governor who would consider first the qualifications of candi- dates for dispensers of the low justice and their party affiliation a bad last.

DEBATE
TOMORROW
IN SENATE
Levying Of New Taxes
to Pay for Measure
Vigorously Opposed
BY VIM. X. HUTCHINSON
international News Service

With a national election just
ahead, President Roosevelt and
Congress appeared headed today
for a clash over the levying OF
new Federal taxes to pay the cost
Of the $2,49l 100000 baby bond
bonus bill.
Ignoring all Administration
warnings of a Sky-rocketing Fed
eral deficit, Congress will enact
the bill, giving the baby bonds
to 3,518,191 American veterans OF
the World War. 1t will resist every
suggestion from the President and
his fiscal advisers for the levying
of new taxes to meet the bonus
cost.
The President undoubtedly will
raise the issue in his anticipated
veto of the bill. 1t was one OF
his major objections to the Pat
man bill, and Administration
spokesman have limited he will
make the same argument against
the new bill.
No New Taxes
There was every indication that
Congress will be consistent in re-
fusing to impose bonus" taxes.
Party leaders declared they would
maintain the same attitude when
Mr.. Roosevelt asks Congress for
q two billion-dollar general relief
fund. as revealed by Secretary of
the Treasury Morgenthau. They
said no new taxes would be levied
to raise that fund.
Again, it was pointed out that
the President in his budget mes
sage proposed a new deficit of ST.
500, 900, 900 in current expenditures
for the next fiscal year. There
was no suggestion from the Presi.
dent in that message for the i'm
position of new taxes to meet the
deficit. On the contrary, Mr..
Roosevelt stated no new taxes were
needed.
Bonus leaders commended the
Government could finance the
bonus deficit just as easily as
other deficits.
Administration officials mean
while hoped the baby bond" bill
would require no such sum as So,
900, 900, 900. They pointed out
that while $2.491 ,000, 900 must be
paid to veterans and their credit
ors eventually. only few hundred
million dollars may be required
within the next year. This hope
was based on the fact that the
bonds bear per cent interest and
the belief that many veterans will
save their bonds to gain the inter,

ASHCRAFT FATE
IN HANDS OF
JURY TODAY
Governments Experts
Dispute Evidence
of AIienist

Fate of David L. Ashcraft, on
trial in District Supreme Court,
charged with the murder Of his
five-year-old son, is expected to be
placed in the hands of an all-male
jury late this afternoon.
Chief Defense Counsel Fred j..
Icenhower rested the defense case
shortly before the noon recess and
the Government presented two
alienists to refute an insanity plea.
Earlier in the day Attorney
Icenhower had placed DR.. Antoine
Schneider, widely-known alienist,
before the jury to testify that the
tubercular paralytic was legally
insane when he held his son before
gas stove with open jets on the
night of September IL until he
died.
AlieniSts Disagree
Ashcraft, one-time copy boy on
a Philadelphia newspaper and
later employed in a pool-hall
where he played for the house
and racked up balls" is afflicted
with a type Of paralysis known
as Freidrich's ataxia, DR.. Schnei-
der said, a form of creeping
paralysis, which begins at the
lower end of the spinal column.
Although Ashcraft knew he was
doing a wrongful act when he
killed his son, he was unable, by
reason of his mental condition,
to refrain from carrying out the
deed. DR.. Schneider said.
DR.. John E. Lind, st. Elizabeth's
Hospital specialist, desc ribed
Freidrich's ataxia as a form of
paralysis which does not affect
the mind. 1t is a progressive type
of paralysis, DR.. Lind said, never
affecting mental processes but
gradually destroying all motor
faculties, or those which enable
a person to move his limbs and
coordinate his physical move
ments.

a world already nervously en-
visioning a naval race. with
Japan out of the London Con-
ference.
When Marshal Mikhan TIL.
chachevSky, deputy defense COM
miSsar, told the Soviet central
executive committee of Russia's
naval plans, he spoke in terms
of naval equality with the Sow.
cts army-which he revealed is
the worlds largest, with 1,300.-
900 men-and an air force, which
is one of the three largest in
the world.
Naval Parity Wanted
Naval parity at least with Japan
and Germany, it was gathered, is
contemplated by the SovietS, for
the acceleration of their defense
measures is in direct opposition
to the "feverish war prepare
tions" of Japan and Germany.
I'VE are creating a powerful
navy" Tuchachevsky said, just
after a record defense budget Of
IA billion roubleS had been de-
cided upon.
1--WE have concentrated our
efforts primarily upon the de.
veIOpment of a submarine fleet,
but in future, along with build
ing the submarine fleet, the sur.

veloped.

doubt, become strong and power
