Title Hopes Out
For Lion Team

CHICAGO, Oct. 26.-The De-
troit Lions won the National Foot
ball League championship last
year. But they're not going to
turn the trick again this season.
Yesterday the Michigan boys
dropped a terrific IL to 10 game
to the Chicago Bears here while
$1,000 fans cheered in the rain.
Fullback Jack Manders proved the
thorn in the teams side by drop
kicking two field goals.
NEW YORK, Oct. 26.-The Chi
cago Cardinals are beginning to
wonder how it feels to win a foot
ball game in the National Football
League. Yesterday the team lost
to the Brooklyn Dodgers here, 9
to 0, for their sixth consecutive
loss.
Ralph Kercheval, formerly of
the University of Kentucky, was
the Dodgers star. He scored two
touchdowns, running SIS yards for
one.
NEW YORK, Oct. 22.-The New
York Giants won over the Phila'
delphia Eagles, 81 to II, here but
players of the latter team showed
their displeasure by attacking
Field Judge George Vergara at
the end Of the game.
Vergara made a ruling on inter
ference on q Giant pass which led
to the winning touchdown. The
Giants trailed, II to IA, before the
incident.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-06-12
When Does It Reopen?

Reorganization of the WPA sewing room project, which up to last Saturday, employed a number of women of this city, should be taking place at this writing. At least we were led to believe that this was taking place, when WPA officials finally decided that there might be something to the claims advanced in the Waterbury Democrat about the "sweatshop" con- ditions at the project. Officially 1t was announced last week that the room would close down and reopen later, ostensibly, in better shape.
 Of course we have no reason to disbe- lieve that reorganization plans are not progressing nicely and that the project will commence shortly with all the old employees back at their former tasks. We just merely wonder, if perhaps by the end of this week some definite information might not be forthcoming from the proper officials on the actual date of reopening. We say this, because we understand that another WPA project in Waterbury is on the rocks or at least wallowing in the shoals.
 From sources we hear that the local traffic survey may collapse due to lack of funds. It seems there is no appropr1- ation for this work in Waterbury. It's rather funny how Waterbury has con- sistently managed to be the butt of many a WPA joke or does 1t go under some other name. The unfortunate part of the whole procedure is that many an honest and hard-working citizen is suffering as a result of this apparent lack of coopera- ton or coordination in WPA circles. Why Waterbury should always get the tarred end of the stick is more than we can un- derstand Just what have we done to deserve 1t?

Couldn't Act Otherwise

The fate of old republican bosses was definitely sealed last night at Cleveland when in a tumultuous gathering of national delegates all, save 10, declared Themselves in favor of the nomination of sGovernor Ali M. Landon of Kansas It was striking tribute to the prairie state Eovernor; 1t was even more so striking 8ribute to the organization which has been moving slowly but steadily toward this goal for more than a year. When Landon was reelected governor of Kansas in the democratic landslide of 1884, there came into existence then the movement that reached it's high point last night.
 Whether or not this movement will go any higher depends upon the outcome of the election next November. There are Ehose who are wise in the ways of politics and politicians who see in this rapid ascension of the Landon star quite evil dent intention on the part of other gop. chieftains not to interfere on the theory that 1886 is not to be their year. If the Drought up short in 1936, 1t would in all Likelihood mean that when 1940 rolls around and republicans once more are Knocking at the door, the way would be opened to somebody else.
 We are not going to attack Governor Landon tonight. Perhaps someone will say he has no vulnerable point where he may be attacked That will be brought out by the coming campaign. There can be no question about the vigor and ability jpf the man. m fact, if we were to choose between ex-President Herbert Hoover and &he present nominee of the republican party we'd take the latter any day. Much Eas made of Hoover's record as Cabinet member and as a postwar worker; Lan- don's claim to fame quite evidently does not hinge on anything in this line of Nndeavor and we are thankful for that. Just how the candidate will divorce Himself from a quite iSent partiality towards features of the New Deal will probably come out in the campaign. Again we await, this time with expectancy. This is one time when we might almost expect mans best friends to prove his worst enemies. There are going to be so many republicans in their enthusiasm placing Governor Landon squarely for or against this and that issue that before they're through the candidate will be rum ming against himself. At any rate new order has been declared for 1886 and the old line republicans must either get aboard the bandwagon whole-heartedly or act as pallbearers at the funeral of the republican party.

News of Interest

Two items caught the writer's atten- .tion as he browsed through papers from other sections of the state this week. One was headlined in such fashion as this Parkway Will Be Completed in 3 Years, Planners Told". Even the uni initiated will know that this can refer to nothing but the Merritt Parkway. The statement, if true, is indeed one that will be received with acclaim everywhere in Connecticut, for long years ago the Mer- ritt Parkway ceased to become merely a Fairfield county project. It's now cer- tainly of the state.
 The claim was advanced by an engineer who is associated evidently with work on the parkway. We sincerely trust that by this time in 1889 we'll be rolling over the parkway amid scenes of beauty and promise for the future development of this auxiliary route to the great Boston Post Road. Let not any thought of the road ever being utilized for military oper- aations between that great munition enter the mind of one motorist proceed ing along the much-heralded and long anticipated road.
 { The other item to which we gave some heed was from nearby Oxford It related Ehat several property owners in the town had recently conveyed to the state options on their land, a total of 1,281 acres being involved in the several realty skransactions. The purpose of such op- tions is, according to current belief, in Oxford to construct on the land a new home for feeble-minded. The state is committed to this good purpose and a commission is in the field to acquire a site and proceed with the task of building the home to amplify the good work now Accomplished at the present similar in- 8titution at Mansfield.
 ! There is $15O,O0O now available for such preliminary work on this institution as buying land and commencing building op- erations. No doubt this work will be com- pleted before the 1887 Legislature con- Benes, SO that report on progress may

About the only reminder we get these days of railroad crossings in Connecticut is an occasional notice from the New Haven road for motorists to exercise more caution in approaching and crossing tracks, particularly those merely pro- tected by mechanical devices. Time was when Connecticut had dozen or more bad crossings which called forth columns of editorial complaints annually. Thanks to the good work of the State Highway Department and railroad cooperation the bad crossings have been eliminated. Let's hope the state will not have one crossing left in another ten year period.

 In the midst of the turmoil of lining Up delegates, flaming the fires of publicity, waging war in the Platform Committee and keep- ing c close rein on the entire convention here, they have also found time for quiet counSeling with the "hoyS from back home" regarding the kind of election campaign they think the Kansas governor should make.
 The problem weighs heavily on tho minds of the tandon man. agers.
 Under Cover
 Although charming and attrac- tive personally and in direct con- versation, Landon Is not Q TI1agne- tic or effective platform figure or radio speaker. During the ilorn- inatoin his handlers were able to keep him in the background, under blankets" so to speak. But the election race means that the candidate has to show himself,
 Landon will have to step forth and stand on his own feet. and his campaign master minds gre ponderlng how to make him ap. pear to best advantage.
 Most of the party old-timers 50 far consulted have advised e modi- fled "front porch" campaign. They oppose an extended tour such as Roosevelt made in 1882.
 For Short Campaign
 Instead, they suggest a half- dozen or 50 carefully staged rallies in strategical centers, such as New York, Boston, or Chicago. Lan- don would spend the rest of the time at his home in Kansas, meeting delegations, holding daily press conferences, and making an occasional address from the front porch.
 Such 6 plan appeals strongly tC the Landon managers. It would also fit in with the desire of the governor to spend several weeks at Chautauqua, N. r., where he has vacationed in the past. From this central point he could meet Eastern state leaders and deliver Q aFAAANh Ar tU,N

 For William Allen White, Elm. poriab famed publisher, this con. vention has been Q trying or- deal.
 One of the most companion- able of men, White loves to mingle with people, exchanging gossip and swapping stories. But that has been strictly taboo for him here. He is the LAndon spokesman on the Platform Committee, and in order to prevent any leaks, has imposed Q VOW of silence on him- self.
 He has adhered rigidIy to this rule. But he admits it has been c terrific hardship.
