 Camp Palmer is situated on a high dry knoll, 150 feet above the Housa- tonic river, which gives the camp CTS healthy climate at all times. While the camp is far enough from the river and state highway to pro- vide perfect safety for the campers, 1t is near enough too for their con- venience.

Glass ana Byrd are typical of office holding democrats who have fought the New Deal but prefer not to bolt. The nearest thing to Q bolt by an office holder was the conspicuous manner in which Senator Royal s. Copeland, New Yorks politico-medico, boy. cotted the convention.

 Al Smith Led Big Bolt
 But the big bolt flashed from the Empire building in New York city, where Alfred E. Smith has offices some floors below the eyrie occupied by former Chairman John J. Raskob of the democratic national comniNp tee. Smith signed, with four other nationally known democrats, Q manifesto calling on the Philadel- phia convention to Fepudiate MT. Roosevelt and nominate . genuine democrat. It was gesture, made to mark the position assumed by Smith and his colleagues with re" spect to the New Deal There was no voice in the United States last week capable of stopping the con. vention parade to Roosevelt. But Smith signed with Joseph B. Ely of Massachusetts, James A. Reed or Missouri, Bainbridge Colby of New York and Daniel Cohalan of that state. Ely already has offered 70 campaign for Landon iE1 New Eng. land and the others will vote for the Kansan in November if they cast 2 presidential ballot. The New Deal democratic merger squeezed Hnaitn and men like him out of the party.
 Abrogation of Old Rule
 The other fundamentally import" ant development in Philadelphia was abrogation of the 104-years-old rule which required Q two-thirds majors ity to nominate Q democratic cafl- didate for president or vice presi. dent. Minority coalitions have counted that rule their only asset in vetoing majority candidates.

LITTLE BOY SAW

Continued from Page l.,

James Thompson, who was the woman's first husband, was said to live in Boston. Her second husband was known as Bud" Castle. James said the slayer tried to goothe him by saying, Don't worry, I'll take you to Los Angeles in the morning." The killing bore strong resemblance to the death of Mrs. Lillian Guild, 50, formerly of Attleboro, Mass, in c Loop hotel May 0. Thomas Starr, giant negro, iS serving 100-year term for this crime.

 Cuts Between Both
 The states rights issue cuts squarely between the republican and democratci platforms. Republicans in Cleveland adopted several New Deal objectives as their own, but proposed that administrative author fly be transferred from the federal to state governments. There was notable trend in that direction in the republican relief plank. Larl- don's telegram proposing constitu. tional amendment, if necessary to permit regulation of the labor cone ditions of women and children, sought merely assurance that states coul dexercise such authority.
 In the democratic platform, the endorsement of the New Deal ape proves the development of federal power under the Roosevelt admins. tration. The platform specifics fed- eral interest and some degree of re. sponsibility in the regulation of working conditions and proposes Q constitutional amendment, if neceS- sary, to that end.
 President Went Further
 Mir. Roosevelt carried the idea further in his acceptance speech, emphasizing the political conflict which hes developed between the New Deal and Q numerically and fi- nancially important section of big business. Only federal spending ex- ceeds, in It's ability to arouse big business, the issues of federal en- croachments on the constitution and reguiaratory invasion of industrial fields hitherto closed against gov. ernment. Such elements of big business as remain loyal to the dem. ocratic party were helpless in Phila' delphia to turn the New Deal struggle a single degree from the comparatively radical or progressive course charted by MT. Roosevelt in i:33-34. The adoption of the party platform by the democratic national convention signalized political mer- ger of potentially tremendous con- sequences. The old line democratic party and the New Deal were merged on terms compelling old liners to accept Roosevelt policies, keep quiet or get out.
