STARLINCS LEAVE
 WEST MAIN NESTS
Winged Pests Migrate From City and Every-
 one Is Happy

During the past week a nightly check has been made on the habitat or what used to be the habitat, of the pesky English starlings who used to convene nightly on the trees at the lower end of the north side of the green. Little has been said about the lack of birds, or the lack of evidence of the birds, during this time for fear of their returning. At any rate the birds have disappeared and no one at the park department office knows where they have gone And nobody cares!
 Several suggestions as to the req son for the birds leaving Waterbury were offered. Some suggested the intricate scheme which was planned to make them evacuate, the one which had to do with electrically charged owls, had thoroughly frightened them away. Another offered the opinion they might have simply migrated because of the ap- preaching winter months. This idea was quickly sidetracked by an ex- pert who pointed out they do no such thing. They usually come into the city to live in the winter.
 It was finally decided that the birds, which had become such a public nuisance on the north side of the green, were really sensitive lot at heart and could not bear to see themselves alluded to as pests and winged disturbers of the peace" Or perhaps they just went away somewhere to vote?

First reports on the annual For get-Me-Not drive will be read at the semi-monthly meeting of the Disabled American Veterans to be held at 8 o'clock tonight at Knights of Pythias hall. The drive began yesterday in the public and paro- chial schools of the city, and will continue until Armistice Day.
 The meeting will be followed with a social period during which time the election returns will be brought to the gathering by means of a radio which has been installed in the hall.
 In furthering plans for the drive for the welfare of disabled veterans of this city, the following tribute has ben given in memory:
 "The Forget-Me-Nor I am the little Forget-Me- Not the modest litle flower with sky blue petals-blue because 1t was almost forgotten-blue because 1t does not want others to forget-the flower of remembrance that speaks for others the official flower of the Disabled American Veterans of the World War, on whose behalf I am to be offered for sale during the period from November 2nd to Armistice day.
 speak, not only in honor of the dead, but, in memory and for serv- ice of the living disabled-for the benefit of those, whose silent and suffering, arc inarticulate. I recall to you the pulsating beating of drums. the rhytmic martial with marching feet, the inspiring enthu- siasm of war days, the patriotic spirit of inspired youth willing to sacrifice itself for others.
 remind you of the efforts of those who returned, once more, in spite of physical and enrvous handi- caps, to try and become self-sup- porting. self respecting citizens. I bling to mind their disappointment discouragemcnts their desperate disheartening efforts to rehabilitate themselves, only finally to be com- pelled to ask for help from Uncle Sam, and then to find that, before adequate assistance could be grant, ed, they must first legally prove by technical detailed, factual affidavit evidence, the service origin of their disabilities.

Victor McLaglen, winner of the last Academy Award by his out standing performance in "The 1n- former" comes to Warner Brothers State today in his second smash hit, "The Magnificent Brute"
 The screen story relates the ad- ventures of a great big fellow, at- tractive to women, who IS Q fool for blondes. He Is giant of . man who turns out steel for a living and lets the girl he loves steal away his judgment. Then he reaches the point where he is torn between two blondes. He must choose between comedy widow and 8 gay young cutie with plenty of meaning in her glances. He's a hard guy, but soft on danes. The solution of his dilemma provides an intense climax for the offering.
 Binnie Barnes Is ravishing as the girl who leads him Q merry chase. The glamorous widow IS portrayed by Jean Dixon. Between them both Victor McLaglen Is kept very busy. William Hall, tall and handsome, Is seen as the menace. Henry Armet- ta contributes his humorous inter- pretation to the picture. Others in the cast are Billy Burrud and Ed ward Norris. "The Magnificent Brute" presents situations never before filmed. The tremendous sweep and power of men making steel in settings that glow and flame Is impressed with unusual photog- raphy. Bursting showers of gleam- ing sparks Illuminate many of the scenes with brilliant splendor. "The Magnificent Brute" is e must see" picture-a fascinating revelation of manhandling you can't afford to miss.

AS was to be expected, de Valera was branded as a traitor by the republican extremists, whose leader he once had been. Still, by taking a firm stand on the side of law and order, even when 1t meant alienat- ing some of his own followers, the president is generally regarded as having shown political acumen as well as courage. This was mirrored in the recent by-elections in Gall way and Wexford, where de Valera s Fianna Fail party scored outstand- ing victories. The I. R. A. vote was negligible.
 Opposition Not Effective
 De Valera's strength today lies in the fact that there is no really effective opposition. In Dali Ei- reann, former President William T. Cosgrave's Fine Gael party has 56 seats compared with the gov- ernment's 78. But the opposition's weakness probably is even greater than these figures indicate.
 "The reason we have no effec- tive opposition is that the oppo- sition parties have no policy with which to appeal to the country" said one Irishman closely in touch with the Cosgrave party. "The op- position fought all de Valeras anti British measures. But there is no party in the Free State today that would dare undo any of them. It would be sheer political suicide. De Valera has only to ask the peo- pie, Is 1t Ireland or Britain you are going to vote for?' and they'll troop out to support him again. Any attempt to reverse the past four years legislation would be condemned at once as 'pro-Brit- ish.'"
 Has Rural Support
 That, in short. obviously is the secret of de Valera's present strength. When he engaged in 8 trade war with the commercial might of Great Britain many pre- dicted ruin for the Free State farm CTS and revolt against de Valera. The rural districts felt the pinch, but less than was expected, and they still continue to support the president, as was shown in Wexford and Galway, both mainly rural con- stltuencies.
 If, as is expected, de Valera holds a general election early next year to endorse the new constitu- ton, the president will start hot favorite. The only doubtful factor is his own health. He has had seri- ous trouble with his eyes and re- gently underwent an operation at Zurich. Friends say his sight has improved greatly since the opera tion.

 Complete election returns will be received, on the national, state and local candidates chances, through specially leased wires and other re- liable sources and will be given out

Admittedly, many Irishmen bit- terly oppose his policies. They con- demn what they call "baiting the British"
 One said:
 eff Dev' has his way the logical outcome of 1t all will be to turn us into @ kind Of third-rate republic, living on cheap beef and potatoes and talking bad Gaelic"
 But even the most caustic of his critics agree there is no one tc challenge de Valera as the out standing personality in this coun' try today.
 Power Seems to Be Rising
 De Valera's political power is tremendous and still seems to be on the rise. He has scrapped the old senate which at one. time caused him lot of irritation by putting Q brake on some of his pet legisla- tive measures. The substitute senate he is expected to create under the constitution to be introduced in parliament early in November, 1t is believed, will be an innocuous body shorn of all delaying powers. In Dali Eireann he has comfortable majority of well-drilled supporters who could-and probably would, if he asked them-hustle through any legislative measure in 24 hours.
 Tn fact, Ramon de Valera, the one- time rebel against Great Britain, is often described today as the Brit ish Empires No. 1 dictator" His powers are likely to be increased still further under the new consti- tuition which, 1t is expected, will create a new post of head of state" combining the functions of prime minister and the president of re- public. It is already regarded as vir- tually foregone conclusion that de Valera himself will be the first in- cumbent. In fact, 1t is difficult to see who else could be.
 Position Once Precarious
 A year or so ago few would have predicted with confidence how long de Valera would remain in office. At that time he was assailed from one side by the semi-fascist Blue Shirt organization of General Eoin O'Duffy and from the other by the rising discontent of his own extremist supporters backed by the militant Irish republican army. Politically, he seemed to be a pre- cariously balanced tight-rope walker.
 Then the president sprung one of those surprises for which he is well known. First, he banned the Blue Shirts. Then he flung down the gauntlet to the republican ex- tremists by suppressing the I. R. A. and arresting its chief-of-staff, Maurice Twomey, and a number of prominent republican malcon- tents following series of political murders.

Transaction Complicated.
Under questioning by David Schen-
ker, commission counsel, Milton gave
further details on the transactions,
which formed an extremely compli-
Gated chain.
He testified that Underwriters Equi-
ties. another investment trust which
he controlled, sold blocks of American
Colony Insurance Co. and of Colonial
States Fire Insurance Co. to the In
terstate Equities Corp. another invest
ment trust owned by the Equity Corp,
for 5000, 900.
With the proceeds, Underwriters
Equities, which Milton controlled,
purchased 1.150,000 shares Of Equity
Corp. from Wallace Groves, pioneer in
the investment trust field. This rep
resented control of Equity, masmuch
as only 1,70O, 900 shares Of stock were
outstanding.
In this way, Schenker said, Milton
acquired control of Equity Corp. with
$4,000 and by using Equity Corps
own money. At the same time he re-
tanned control Of the insurance stocks
WHICH Equity Corps subsidiary, Inter-
state Equities, bought from Milton.
Milton acknowledged he had never
added any Of his own money to his
original investment
Milton said Equity Corp. was
formed in December. 1892. and he
became its president about six months
later. He testified that on last De-
cember 81 it controlled, in addition to
its own resources of $4,000, 900, the
General American Life Insurance Co.,
with resources of l20000,000; United
Founders, with resources of $50,000,-
