BOrah Would Race LandOn

Unwillingness of Governor Lan- don to enter preferential primaries against Borah has been attributed to the Kansan's desire not to antag- onize the senator and his friends, but Borah is understood to be bit- ter because he can't meet Landon on the battlefield of ballots.
 Build-up of the B0rah candI- daey in the primaries fits In nice Iy with the theme argument Of his followers that he is the only Re- publican candidate who is experi- enced ln national affairs, has a large national following. and can meet Roosevelt ln Che election campaign on equal terms.
 The popular vote the Senator receives tn primaries will indicate inc importance of q possible Borah bolt from the party ticket. Fhh0ueh enti-Rnrah naliatieiana

 Tn many states they have ar- ranged primaries so that they can send uninstructed or favoritc son delegations and this year. for in- stance, 1t is practically certain that unpledged delegations will control the republican conven- ton.

 Over 1900 refugees were inocu- lated against typhoid fever yester- day, and today 15o more relief work | CTS as well as 8 sanitation unit of 60 men will also be treated with the serum.
 No Epidemic
 New Haven, Conn, March 24.- (UP)-An epidemic of disease in the flood areas of the state is highly improbable, Dr. Monroe Tanner, prominent Yale physician said today upon his return here after aiding in the care of flood refugees in Hartford.
 "The situation is well in hand" Dr. Tanner said, "the organization of volunteers aiding the regular staffs of the municipal government of the city are doing splendidly. After observing the work being done in sanitatoin and preventive meas ures, I doubt if there will be any epidemic of disease due to the flood" NH Towns Improve
 Norwich, Conn, March 24.-(UP) Mill towns here and to the north were resuming operations today, as health officials continued their war against disease outbreak and welfare agencies toiled to rehabilitate resi- dential and business areas laid waste by flood waters. Electric lines furnmishing power to the big Ponemah Nils at Taftville were re- established, putting all four plants of the company into operation. Part of the power was supplied by the Connecticut Light &, Power com- pany and part by the mill com pany, which generated electricity by steam. Clothing, shoes, blankets and food were received here at all fire stations, and Red Cross head quarters, and were trucked to Hart ford by a circuitous route.
 200 Seeking Food
 Flood conditions at Central Vil- !. lage were slightly improved. Fire apparatus pumped water from hous- ses. More than 200 persons sought food and clothing at the town hall. Only a part of them could be &C., commodated. Thousands of tons of rock were dumped into wash cut at the sluiceway near the Oc- cum dam. Only vehicles weighing less than 5000 pounds were allowed to traverse the weakened bridge here. Heavy wooden supports are being placed beneath it to strength en the foundation. Watchmen were on guard. Persons at Goodyear were being inoculated against ty- phoid. Putnam established typhoid clinics today. The Quinebaug river had dropped five feet from high wa ter mark but more than three feet of water flowed over Dyker dam. The Assawaga river rushed repairs slowly. WPA workers rushed repairs in the flooded sections of Jewett City where gulleys four feet deep were made in highways and side ] walks were uprooted.

said barges had been sent to pump them out.
 Walcott and Governor Will bur L. Cross returned after confer ences with WPA Administrator Harry L. Hopkins and Admiral Carey T. Grayson, chairman of the Red Cross.
 "If we run out of money, there IS more where that came from" Wal colt added. "Everything is in good shape"
 Hopkins sent three men to sur- yey the state, where property dam- age is estimated at $25, 5,000,000. Enforcing Curfew
 National Guardsmen continued to enforce 9 D. m. curfew here and prevented refugees from returning to their houses until they have been declared safe. Each building flood- cd by the Connecticut, which still covered some low areas, was posted with this notice: This building is declared unfit for occupancy by the health officer. It is not to be reoccupied without permission of the health officer" State Health Commissioner Stan ley H. Osborn hoped that inocula- tion of 30,000 to 50,000 persons would prevent any serious outbreak of dis ease, but said 1t would take a week to ascertain the true state of health conditions.
 There is no evidence of an out break of typhoid at present." he said, "and we do not expect any cases to show for at least week." Survey of 21 Towns
 Osborn released report of survey in 21 towns, relating extent of flood damage. He made no estimate of homes vacated and flooded in Hart ford. Tt was too big job to clean up immediately" said Osborn. The survey of other communities fol- lows:
 East Hartford, 500 houses vacated, 200 houses flooded, 100 wells pol luted.

that they are over-supplied with clothes for the present and at this time they are not in a position to accept more shipments.
 Under these circumstances, we feel we should advise our friends of this condition and feel that we should not accept any more cloth- ing at this time as our own depots are filled to overfiowing.
 We wish to thank the people of Waterbury for their wonderful spirit and generosity which has made it necessary to call off the collection of clothing for the time being.
 Money is still needed and there ls still a call for canned goods.
 The Waterbury chapter of the American Red Cross wishes to thank their friends in Waterbury and the branches for their generosity. JOHN M. BURIAL, ( Chairman. ] Could Use More Money
 The local chairman is particular ~ anxious to impress the people of Waterbury, that while the financial drive has been a success, more money can be used and all intended donations should not be cancelled because the quota set at $5,000 has been realized. The present need is for food and for financial support. It is believed that with many of the larger local societies now banding together to collect contributions, the final amount realized will be far fin excess of first expectations. But no matter how large an amount is received, as pointed out at head quarters this morning, all of it can be most appropriately used for the benefit of the thousands of Hart ford persons who are in dire need of relief

Lowell Thomas Airs
 Exploits Of Acosta
Former Naugatuck Resident Featured in Aerial Article
 in Cosmopolitan Magazine of News Commentator
Especial to the Denocrat)

Naugatuck, Feb. 0--Bert Ac0gta, famous flyer and former Naugatuck resident, is one of the aviatcrs whose exploits are discussed in an article by Lowell Thomas, news commentator and author in the March issue of Cosmopolitan n1aga- zine.
 High praise of Acosta's flying abil- ity is given in the article, which in view of the local connection 1s of interest here. Mir. Thomas writes in part: Almost everybody seems aered that the most brilliant living example of the old-school aviator is Bert Acosta-though far different type from Pangborn, Lindberg, Ball. chen and others who are scientists as well as flyers. A superb ii1struc- tive flyer, he can take any kind of plane and make 1t do anything he wants. His sheer virtuosity was his undoing. It was for taking ship under the narrow arch of bridge that the Department of Commerce grounded him. (Ed. Note-The bridge referred to is the Memorial bridge in Naugatuck where Acosta tried to fly under the arches but lingering remnants of caution pre- vents this almost certainly suicidal Stunt.)
 The article continues: On another occasion Bert was "way out on Long Island when somebody wanted to know the time. No watches were

Weekly Sunday School Lesson Jesus Insists On Righteousness

1 out of the good treasure of the
 heart that . man brings forth
 good living. A man cannot be
 evil inside and good outside. There is no hypocrisy greater than
 that of acknowledging the purity
 and beauty of great and high things
 and yet ignoring them In one'i practice. "Why call ye me Lord Lord" said Jesus to His disciples
 land do not the things which ] say7"
 All this Jesus enforced very strongly by the parable of two men building their houses. The one mar built his house upon the earth without a sure foundation. It lock- ed secure enough in favorable weather, but when the stream over- flowed It's banks and the torrents struck the house, 1t gave way and went down in ruin, because it was without 0 sure foundation. But the man who needed the words of Jesus built hi shouse by digging deeply and going down to the sure foundation upon. the rock When the food came and the stream overdowed, the house stood against the torrent like tho rock to which it was inoored.
 Rock-iike righteousness is the foundation of ell good living, and It's if,sistent demand is not at al out of harmony with the grace and love that are full of kindli- ness toward the sinner while they would seek to lift hi mfrom hii sin.

 The Golden Text is from I Corin. thians 2:io: "rhe spiprit searcheth oil things, yes, the deep things of Cod"
 Bible readings include the fol- lowing from Galatians 6: i6-1e: "This I say then, Walk In the spir- 1t, and yey shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary the one to the other; 90 that ye caiis not do the things that we would. But # ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law"
 Correlative readings from the Christian Science textbook, "ecis ence and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy. include the following: "The flesh lusteth against the Spirit The flesh end Spirit can no more unite in action than good con coincide with evil. It is not wise to take c halting and half.way position or to expect to work equally with Spirit and matter, Truth and ers ror.' The suppositional war; fare between truth and error as only ythe mental conflict between the evidence of the gpifltual senses and the testimony of the material senses, and this warfare between tho Spirit end flesh will settle ell questions through faith in and the understanding of divine Love" (p. i67:20-24. D. 2o0:3).

 MT. Thomas relates an instance where Acosta contended with Jap" Pearson, one of the aces of the British Royal Air Force, that the standard of skill among civilian pilots was far higher than that of army flyers. He said T could shoot any army fighter out of the cir with Q handful of oranges"
 Bert borrowed Q Nieuport plane and Pearson toolk'a two-seater Avro. AcoSta started the game by soaring up and diving straight down on the Avro. Pearson had to get out Of the way or both ships would have come crashing and flaming to. the ground. He had no chance to re- taliate and eventually was forced to the ground smashing the planes landing gear. Acosta dived into 6 snowbank, Mir.

 Jesus came to proclaim . gospel of love and grace. His message cen- tered in the teaching concerning the Fatherhood of God, that the loving Father was not uSaInindful of His wayward children, and that even those who had wandered far away might return with the assurance of acceptance and forgiveness.
 This was tho teaching of the parable of the prodigal son, and 1t was enforced by many other parables. The gospel of Jesus was bound not with sternness, but with love and kindlineSs.
 Nevertheless, this gospel of the forgiveness of sin was associated with deep hatred of sin. The one inslstent not in all the teaching of Jesus was that love and truth were established In righteousness.
 God loved men because os His goodness, and His power to save them from their sin was because of His love and righteousness, There was no such thing as sale vation without restoration o9 health and rishtness of living.
 Jesus was insistent throughout His ministry that those who pro- tossed dlscipleship should Dc first of ell sincere and earnest. He he'd come in humility and with the 70. nouncement of all worldly tempta- tons to teach and practice the pur. fly of the good life, and with great definiteness He set forth that the disciple Is not above his master or teacher.
 The way toward the good life for a man I not through considering the faults of his r1eighbor, but through disoiplining himself. It is easy for c man to behold the mote thss is in his brothers eye while he forgets the beam that is In his own eye. That attitude is essentially hypocrisy. of salvation, he must Do changed in heart as well as in deed. It s
