WPA TROUPE IN
 BROADWAY HIT
Federal Players Outstand-
 ing Success in Comedy, "Fancy That"

Previous attendance records at the wPA Lincoln theater in New Haven are due to suffer untold agonies when final curtain is sound- cd for the currency run of Fancy That" Authcred by Poster Furco- lowe, c local playwright who has gained for himself an enviable rep- litation in his field, this hilarious comedy has literally packed 'em in" since it's opening on May T. This past week saw several New York scouts in the audience and 1t is this writer's opinion that Broad- way will have an opportunity to view Fancy That next season.
 Just picture, if you can, Q mild hammered Englishman who travels to America and impersonates his ze-fighting brother, the side- splitting complications which are born out of this impersonation and you have the main theme of Fancy That" Charles Furcolowe, brother to the author, plays the part Of the Britain assisted by George Pet rie as Flash Perkins, Q publicity mad press agent, and J. Burleign Morton, as Dopey, 6 rather dull fight trainer. Besides those already mentioned a cast consisting of Mary Hone, Peter Cusanelli, Kay Norman, Eleanor Vishno Evans, Jack Carlson, Mary Coy and 6 host of others make this play one of the best comedies ever shown in these parts.
 Randolph Carter is responsible for the plays direction and the Set- tings were designed by Joseph Mara.
 Tn connection with the type of play presented Henry Busse and the Federal Symphony have arranged 6 musical program which has re- ceived encore after encore from an enthusiastic audience.
 The final dates for Fancy That" are June 3, {, s and 6.

FRENCH STRIKE . IN 200 PLANTS

Paris, June 3.--(Ur)-A strike epidemic spread to more than 200 plants in the Pairs region and the provinces today. A score of indus tries, and workers on farms, were affected. In the Paris district alone there were 00,000 strikers. Tn most instances the strikers adopted the new "siege" tactics and remained in occupation of factories. Thirty-five executives of the Huntley Palmer Biscuit factory in the Paris area, inc cluding i7 Britong, were held as prisoners by striking workers last night, but were released at 2 Q. m.
 Ludoyic Frossard, minister of la- bor, conferred with factory owners and workers, seeking c formula that would end the strikes, but the Ilove- ment was spreading The workers demand higher wages, Q shorter working week, and 0 permanent cor1- tract in which the right to collec- tive bargaining will be recognized
 From the government viewpoint the strikes are made more serious be- caus heavy industry factories work. ing on vitally important armament contracts are involved. The "giege strike" movement started in the metal industry last week, and hal spread from industry to industry.

cope with economic emergencies. There It's answer has been but little more favorable to the law. making branches of t..s government than where the question of federal power is concerned. To those who, three years ago, predicted the court would follow the election returns it's recent actions have been 6 sur. prise. To those who have followed the courts deliberations for years and know the outlook of its mem. berS, the surprise has been soE1e- what less.
 Lawyers Even Amazed
 That the court would outlaw tho AAA as emphatically and sweeping ly as 1t did amazed even lawyers of conservative tendencies. Its broad endorsement of hydro-electric pow. CT development came aS . surprise to some who thought the court was proceeding on the theory of "knock the new New Deal" Its de- cision in the 0uffey coal control act test case was more Sweepingly condemnatory than had been an. ticipated. But these decisions have only been the highlightS of ses- sion which must have been tense within the court itself. The Vehe- ment differences of opinion arising within the court have been empha- sized by Q series of dissenting opin1 ions which, for their condemnation of the majority, have seldom been equalled.
 First Reflected in lOS2
 The depression and the flood of legal questions 1t was to precipitate first reflected itself in the spring of 1882 in the court. Franklin De- lano Roosevelt was only mention- cd as c possible presidential candi- date ct that time and the phrase New Deap was yet to be coined. The occasion was the decision of the Oklahoma ice case where the court held that the state could not subject the right of persons to deal in the ice business to Q question of the need for the new business. Jus tice Sutherland wrote the opinion - to which Justice Louis D. Brandeis strongly disSented - in words that now seem prophetic.
 Two Answers
 Tt Is plain that unreasonable or arbitrary interference or restric- tions cannot be saved from the cons demnation of that amendment (the fourteenth) by calling them experimental" Sutherland said.
 And Brandeis answered.:
 There must be power in the states and the nation to remould, through experimentation, our econ. omic practices and institutions to meet changing social and economic needs"
 It was almost year later, short. ly after the banking holiday and the inauguration of the New Deal, that the court again ruled on im- portant state legislation.

lights of base ball history. But he was c Waterbury product, and 50, we followed him on the field, just the same as we follow Johnny Moore in his every move. nent these days. We are anxious for the success of the WAterville boy; we pray diligently for him, and scan the pages of the news papers the day following each game to see what our favorite son has done with the bat. And why shouldn't we; we are inter- ested: we have home pride and sentiment for all of the Moores in general; we like the name we like the people and we feel just as much elated at the batting activi' ties of the younger Moore as do his own flesh and blood.
 Moore is the sole representative of Waterbury in the big leagues. There was a time however when we had Joe Connor, Rogers younger brother, playing with Cleveland and also with the New York Americans. And what 6 ball player Joe was; ask anyone who watched him on the field. A clever backStop, but better at third base, we think. How he could snap them up, and line them over to first; sprint Joe had Q slide that got him the base by @ narrow margin upon numerous occasions.
 And we must not forget Candy Lachance, and Fred Klobedanz. Poor Candy is dead, but we re. member him just the same. A big strapping fellow, who started his baseball career with Klobedanz pitching to him. They came from Brandy Hill, and in the old days, could bc seen hanging about the old Waterbury grounds, when they were located in the rear of the car barns in the West End. Klobedanz is now in town, hard ly recognized. But he had an arm in his day that famed many a player who stood before him when he was the leading pitcher of the Boston Americans.
 Another who has passed along is Frank L. Donahue, one of the funniest men who was ever seen in base ball. Red, the ball players calle dhim. He was brought out by Roger Connor, and pitched great ball for St. Louis, New York and Philadelphia. His young days were spent up in St. Mary's school lot, where he displayed a nice new white uni- form, with New York printed on the shirt the gift of his good friend, Roger. Reds" real base ball career started with the Brass Citys, an out east team that com- prised Cuddy German, Paul Me- Allenney, Pete Fox, Charley Mc- Mahon, Mattie Phelan, and others whose names we have forgotten. They beat the Acmes one day during the Nineties, when every ''kid" from this section was colm- manded to join the gang that went down to root for the East Enders.
 Tn the days we speak of sun- day ball was played in Long Hill, Coss's lots. and also in the Rye lots. in South Waterbury.

BY THE OUT EAsTER)

The fine work of Johnny Moore of the Philadelphia Nationals is most pleasing to us of Old Out East, and to many others in the city, for 1t revives memories of the great days of the past when we all gloried in the achievements of the now deceased Roger Connor, during his reign with the famous New York Giants when the nnem- bership was 50 that the name of Giants" could be well applied to such an aggregation of big bali players. Dear old Roger" is what the town called him, and he was truly most dear to all of us. To us, Johnny Moore Is just as dear, although we have never had the pleasure of seeing him in action, or meeting him. But we know his fine father, Billy Moore, and that Is enough; we of old St. Joseph's Temperance so- cietyy of the latter part of the Nineties will never forget the friendship and kindness of Billy Moore.

 If by the statement that what the constitution meant ct the time of its adoption 1t means today, 1t is intended to say that the great clauses of the constitution must be confined to the interpretation which the farmers, with the con- ditions and outlook of their time, would have placed upon them, the statement carries It's own refuta. tion."
