PROTECTION FOR
 POULTRY DEALERS
Senator Lonergan Spon. sOrs Measure in Wash.
 ton to Aid Merchants

Washington, Aug. ll.-Sen. Lon ergan (O Conn. said today that he Is studying Q report from the U s. Tariff Commission on imports Into the United States Of eggs and egg produtcs, to determine whether any relief measures can be under taken at this time for the poultry producers In Connecticut.
 The report, submitted in response to Senate Resolution Is also having attention Of Senator Lodge of MaSs- chusetts an dother New England senators who recently have received protests from the poultry industry regarding the low prices available on their products.
 Since lnvnlidation of the Agricul- tural Adjustment Act, the Agri. culture Department has no control over prices, although the Surplus Commodities Corporation does en. deavor to hold prices within a fair range, going int othe market for prices at various times.
 The entire problem of the poul- try producers was discussed in Washington Senator Lonergan said, during the conference in July, but as yet nothing definite has been done to afford them relief.
 Until he has had more time to consider the report Of the Tariff Commission, and to confer with other New England senators, Sen- ator Lonergan indicated he would have no definite relief proposals m mind. He said the poultrymcn themselves were uncertain just what remedies could be applied.

COPERNICUS, LONG DEAD, LIVE ISSUE
NaSiS and Poles Both Claim Astronomer; ShOyg Proofs He s sPrOduct of their Country
By MILTON BRoNNER

NEA Service Staff Correspondent
 Paris, Aug. ii-Poland and Ger many are waging bloodneSS war here over an issue nearly 400 years old, despite their i0-year peace pact
 So far aS Nazi-land was concerned all was peaceful on the Spree and even on the Seine, where the French are holding their great Paris exposi- ton.
 Then the Poles built for the fair c good-looking pavilion. Inside that pavilion they had c rotunda which they converted Into sort of Polish hall of fame, And one of the most conspicuous of the statues was that of Copernieus astronomical genius Of the Middle Ages,
 That was just too much for Nazi Germany. Might as well ct the Poles claim the invention Of sauerkraut or Frankfurters as claim Copernicus. So immediately the government placed in the German pavilion a nice picture of Coperni. GUS, together with documents which 1t Is claimed prove beyond q ven. ture that Copernicus was not Pole. but c man of pure German blood and good German conscious. ness. Aryan, Of coursel
 When's . Pole . Pole?
 The German papers took it up. One Of them sneed that the Poles had such taking ways" They were not satisfied with taking the Ger man Copernicus and proclaiming him & Pole, but, in their hall Of fame in the Polish Pavilion, they also swiped two more national heroes-Jagellon, founder of 6 dy. mast yof great kings. and Adam Mickiewicz, cracked Up as PolandB greatest poet. jagellon, born 1884 and died l434, headed the dynasty that ruled Poland from i386 to 1872, Rickiewizc, born l798 and died i866, wrote Polands great epilc-"Pan TadeuSz." But--said the scornful German press--both Jagellon and Mickiewiz were Lithuanions, not Poles.
 Nicholas Copernicus, the man about whom oil the fuss started, was born in i472 in c small town In what was then Poland, but later became incorporated in Prussia. Ills family name was really Koppernigk, CopernicuS being It's Latinized form. Son of prosperous merchant, he attended the ancient University Of Cracow. He studied theology, rfied- icine, mathematics and astronomy. Later he went to Italy and studied more medicine in Padua and eccleai. aStical law in Ferrara.
 Greatest Astronomer
 He settled down aS q cannon in the old German town Of Frauenburg in 1912 and there worked out the theories which gave him eternal fame and founded modern astron' omy, The world had believed the sun revolved around the earth. CopernicuS rightly held that the earth revolved around the sun, He also held that the stars were enor- nous distances away from our earth and sun. All these things he set forth in c book he finished in i630, but did not venture to send 1t to c printer until i643 and he died be.

STRONG NORWICH
 |FOOTBALLERS TO OPPOSE CROSBY
Visitors Beat Locals for Past Two Seasons; Me.
 Sherry at Quarter

Norwich Free Academy. will be Crosby's opponent at Hamilton park Saturday afternoon. Last year Nor. wich lost but single game, and that to New Britain high, the team which was awarded the state title, Norwich has seven veterans left from last years great team, and the team from down the state has aspirations of winning the state championship this fall. With the entire backfield and three linemen back, Norwich will undoubtedly be factor in the race this year.
 The game Saturday will be CroS- by's third meeting with Norwich. For the past two seasons Crosby has journeyed to Norwich, each time to lose bitterly fought game by a 60 score. This time Norwich comes to Waterbury and Crosby has hopes of stopping the string of victories. Long and hard practice sessions have been the order of the day all week at Hamilton park, as Coach Scofield has been working feverish- ly to get his squad in condition for the scarlet clad team from down state. The Crosby coach was not sat- isf1eld with the play of his team at Hartford last week and has been putting on the pressure all week, to whip his team into shape.
 The week has seen only one real change. Pete McSherry, end, has been shifted to quarterback and will call the signals tomorrow. This move will put Woods at end in place of McSherry. and should strengthen the team. The rest of the positions will be filled by the same players who started against Bulkeley last Saturday. Norwich always fields a big team, but it will hardly be any bigger than the Bulkeley team, which averaged TIT pounds per man, and outweighed COosby 20 pounds per man.
 CroSby's lineup tomorrow will be: Ends, McNellis and Woods; tackles, Borgilauskas and Nardozzi; guards, Mazzarella and Molluca; center, Cigenas; quarterback, McSherry: left half, Foster; right half, Day: fullback, Bascosi.
