BORAH'S PLAN FOR
C. 0. P. HAS FLAWS
Would Merely Liberalize 1t
Under New Name; FDR
Too Radical
BY CHARLES p. STEWART
Central Press COIumniSt

Washington, May j. Senator
Borah's plan to resuscitate the Repub-
lican party is about like killing suf-
ferer from some incurable disease, in
order to cure him of it anyway, and
then naming some one else to take
over his earthly job, on the theory
that the new incumbent is the same
old Individual.
That is to say, the senator proposes
to change the party's management,
it's principles and it's name and then
go ahead, as just what the G. 0. P.
used to be.
Thus transmogrified it might go
ahead, indeed.
But would it be what it used to be?
DEMOCRATS LEARY
A change in name, to be sure, isn't
altogether an original idea with Sen
ator Borah.
Other Republicans have limited at
it, too.
They would like to scoop in those
old-line Democrats, especially in the
south, who are bitterly dissatisfied
with the New Deal, but they are skep-
teal that these folk, at least in the
south, ever would ally themselves
with anything bearing the Republican
designation.
For that matter, they're none too
sure that it is among the possibilities
to persuade an unreconstructed south
erner ever to be anything but Dem
ocrat while there remains Demo
cratic party for him to cleave to.
If only they could trick the New
Dealers into abandoning their Demo
cratic label!
Then, in all likelihood, lot of old
fashioned Democrats, with nowhere
else to go, might gravitate to party,
of their own preference, with new
name The name (Democratic) is
what holds them, against their other
inclinations; the Republicans are pos
tive of that. And they may be partly
right.
NEW DEALERS HOLD GRIP
However, there is no chance that
the New Dealers will abandon their
Democratic name.
They recognize it as an asset to
them, just as the Republicans are be-
ginning to perceive that theirs has be-
come a liability to them, very very

differently from conditions of olden
days-and not so many years olden,
either.
Accordingly it is up to the Repub-
Leans, if anyone, to rechristen them
selves. If they do not do it nobody else
will
MORE RADICALISM?
But when it comes to reformed po-
licies?
The Republicans, whom Senator
Borah criticizes, have been too conscr-
vative. He wants them to liberaliZe
themselves, gathering the conserva-
tive Democrats into their fold.
Why? Because, says the senator,
New Deal Democracy is too radical.
Yet the senator's program is more
radicalism.
Conservatism overdid itself, in Sen
atOr Borah's opinion.
Now he is disposed to let radical
ism overdo itself.
It is the old homeopathic doctrine
of:
Let like cure like.
But
Can homeopathy be depended on to
hold good?
Anyway, a queer way to get conser-
vative Democrats is to offer them a
Republican Cor ex-Republican) plat
form, of the radical type.
Yet it is characteristic of these
times.

Is, the Golden Text being Matthew SO
Blessed are the peacemakers: for
they shall be called the sons of God.'O
ISAAC, though not as strong
character as Abraham his father, nor
as aggressive as Jacob his son, was,
nevertheless, a great man of faith, of
quiet, contemplative, submissive faith.
His birth was the reward of the faith
of his father Abraham On Mt. Moriah
he shared his fathers faith in his will
ingly yielding himself to the altar and
the knife, for he was no mere youth,
but, as Josephus tells us, a man of II
years. He offered himself to be sac
rificed, believing that God would re-
store his life by resurrection from
the dead.
Isaac and Rebecca.
The choice of Rebecca as Isaac's
wife was a matter of faith. Abraham
wanted no s'mixed marriage" for his
son with a woman of Canaan. Nor did
he want to risk Isaac's return to- his
own people. Not only did Abraham's
servant pray for divine guidance
when sent to select a bride for his
Masters son, but Isaac must have
| shared in these prayers for guidance,
for at the servants return with his
bride Isaac is found in prayer: "And
Isaac went out to mediate LITERALLY
"to bow down') in the field at the

| and saw, and, behold, there were
camels coming. And Rebecca lifted up
her ewes, and when she saw Isaac
she lighted off the camel. :. and she
took her veil and covered herself
The scene is typically oriental But
the place it gives to prayer and faith
in seeking a suitable life companion
may very properly be emulated a
mong us today. The characteristics
of faith. Kindness hospitality, I'M
selfishness and serving love were sci
I'D as a standard for the wife Of
Isaac. And Rebecca, not knowing that
she was being tested by this standard
met all the requirements. Her willing
| ness to 90 forth into strange lane
at the call of God showed that she
was endowed with the same heroic
faith that made Abraham the FRIEND
of God.
Isaac the Peacemalxer.
Isaac's was a quiet pastoral life

digging wells. To him God reaffirmet

7 TITLE lady, it's time to say
IL adieu, so long, good-by to that
f1imsy but faithful friend-your
summer wardrobe. But don't fret,
Milady, Sew-Your-Own is right on
the job with sparkling new fash
ions for you; fashions that will
make you forget the past and be
remembered in the future. So let's
not tarry: let's choose the style
that's got the most sock for our
particular figure and join this
group that's going a-sewing!
Stadium Model.
Picture yourself in the trim
wasted little model at the left, if
you would have an optimistic
viewpoint and a head start on
style this season. There's nothing
younger than this topper with it's
dainty collar and cuffs, it's snappy
row of buttons and fetching pep
lum. The way it takes to the
weightier fall fabrics is news, and
equally intriguing is this fact: it's
easy to sew!
Young m Pretty.
Long slender lines of the prin-
cess variety make this the lucky
number for your first autumn
days. Of course you see it's a
style to cut in at least two fab
RIGS because it boasts utility plus
beauty. If you're going to school
you'll want it in acetate jersey
or lightweight wool. Neat con-
trast is here, too, if you wish, in
the collar, pocket flaps and but
tons. (This is a simple eight-piece
pattern.)
A Lift for You.
There's much ado about bodices
this fall and unless you have a
frock that carries a stylish one
you won't feel right. Sew-Your-
Own caters to this vogue in its
new creation at the right. It is
pencil slim and carefully styled
to give you that chic young sill
houette that distinguishes the lady
Of fashion. Make this handsome
model of silk crepe, sheer wool or

Conceited Beau BrummeII

Beau Brummell (1778-1840), the
master dandy of all time, was so
idolized by the aristocracy of Lon
don as an arbiter of dress and
manners that, eventually, he be-
came unbearably conceited. One
night he even ordered a duchess
out OF his house, during a recep-
ton, because her "dress was cut
too low in the back" The gentle
mans taste was so offended that
he had to cover his eyes while
she hunbly backed out of the
ballroom.-Collier's Weekly.

PASSING OF BILL
 GOOD NEWS HERE
Motor Vehicle Office Mem= bers Now Cannot Be
 Fired Without Reason
By WILLIAM J. MORIARTY Democrat Legislative RepOrter)

State Capitol, Hartford, May S. Many Waterburians now working for the state are frozen in" under the provisions of the merit system bill passed by the house yesterday afternoon in concurrence with the senate. The bill stipulates that persons now employed by the state need not take civil service exam nations but like all those hired in the future cannot be fired except for cause.
 In other words they are frozen in" as a result of yesterdays action by the house. Among those who will benefit are the members of the staff in the Waterbury motor veh- icle office, Marvin Lawlar of the state ta-' department, John F. Rob- inson of the same department, Charles F. Harder of the contrul- ler's staff, Louis Lerz, who is eleva- tor man at the state building and Attorney John D. ThomS, newly named statute revision commission.
 The house reluctantly passed the bill yesterday afternoon. The lower branch of the legislature passed the merit bill about two weeks ago and 1t was then transmitted to the seiate where it was amended so that the governor would have the naming of the personnel director. The original bill automatically named the com- missioner of finance and control who, incidentally, is Edward Hall, a republican. The democratic majority objected to this and amended the bill so that the governor could pick the personnel director.
 The bill, as amended, was then sent back to the house and this branch yesterday adopted 1t but not until after Representative Noah D. Swayne of Darien, g.op. rnapority leader, had flayed the democrats, charging them with injecting poli- tics into the merit system bill. He even included Representative Thoms in his attack. He charged that Gov- ernor Cross rushed Thoms' appoint ment as statute revision commission CT through so that the Waterbury man could be frozen in" with the passage of the bill.
