Tired but happy after the great est accomplishment of their career 52 members and directors of St. Jo- seph's Lithuanian fife and drum corps returned from New York city shortly after 10:30 o'clock last night after parading 55 blocks up 5th ave- nue in the procession arranged as part of the American Legion na- tional convention.
 The unit preceding the Water town chapter and auxiliary and fol- lowing Litchfleld, received great hand as 1t passed before the esti- mated two and one-half million peo- pie who occupied every place where 1t was at all possible to gain a glimpse of the marchers. The Con- necticut delegation which assem- bled on East 23rd street was two hours late in starting due to the great number in the line of march.
 St. Joseph's corps made proud showing as they took their part well in the great procession. Old Glory and the color guard were followed by the Misses Jane Sheehey and Ann Shea, who twirled their batonS competing with masters filling simi- lar roles for more professional units. Directors John w. Stokes and John Stokes marched on either side of Drum Major August KriSavage, fol- lowed by the musical section. They marched to 79th street and turned toward Madison avenue, continuing to End avenue, and returned five blocks to 74th street where instruc- tions were given to fall out.
 AeroplaneS Perform
 After resting and witnessing the maneuvers of s5 aeroplanes which maneuvered in the skyS, the corps was taken to 8 restaurant and per- mitted to order whatever they wanted.
 The supper was followed by a short sightseeing tour after which the youngsters returned to their two busses. Drivers John Cosgrove and William McKeag then drove the group through the more distant sec- tons of the city before turning to- wards the Bronx and homeward.
 The boys left Waterbury shortly after noon Monday and after ar- rival in New York were taken to Battery Park and aboard the Staten Island ferry to the Mt. Manresa Retreat where they were taken in hand by Rev. James Moakley and taken to the dining hall for a hearty supper. After final instructions and making their new blue and white uniforms ready for the following day, they were allowed to roam about the grounds until they decided to re- tire,
 Yesterday morning upon the re- quest of Father Moakley, after mass and breakfast they presented @ drill of fine marching lnaneuvers to the accompaniment of the musical ac- compartment of the troop. A good many of the neighboring people were attracted to the retreat.
 Father Moakley who became at- tached to the youngsters, wished them well in a few final words prior

Dear Boss: Your correspondent looked upon the "shambleS" of Times Square early today and inA- naedlately sent . cablcgram of sympathy to the Mayor of Shang- hai. I could only see confetti. scraps of paper, Q few hats, canes and whatnot after the big parade, but if the Japs dropped bombs on old Shanghai aS the natives dropped paper on the LegiOn- naires, 1t must be some mess over there.
 And what . paradL they staged here. Tell ell the folks it was the greatest thrill the New Workers have had in years. The Legion nalres were thinking about turn the town back to LaGuardia some time today, but am not sure about that. l will check on some of the rumors that the buddies still continue to think they own Broadway. I hope you get my big story all right. could write enough to fill Bronson Library. but will save my notes for . copy righted article "On the Battle of Times Square,. They're still mop ping up here, but there have been no casualties. Regards to ell.

Several false alarm calls were re. ported, none of which could be traced to actual legionnaireS. The fire department officials of the city of New York had protected their alarm boxes by placing one man at each.
 I,egionnaircs given the freedom ol the city had carried on their fun along the well known streets of New York and in the vicinity of their hotels. Gases of where the amusement limit was exceeded were traced to people having no connection with the convention. Tn several cases arrests were made, several of which were given congid- eration in the New York night court, where proper punishment wac dealt out by presiding rnagiS- trates.
 Traffic Tieups
 A special traffic control system was in effect during the parade and although complicated In some dis tricts, was handled efficiently by the police department which lend cd every effort to the success ot the pageant. Policemen {. in every section were kept closely informed as to convention activities, in order that whatever information sought of them could be given accurately They were often handicapped by thc large number of chartered busses, many of which had to be mancuvered about on marrow streets and in most cases held up lUcai traffic to be good hosts to theif visitoEs.

RYAN REFUTES RUMORS OF JOB
Denies Seeking Position of Supt of Parks; Answers
 Mayors Speech

George T. Ryan today denied Mayor Frank Hayes statement last night to the Italian Democratic Wo- mems club that he was claiming he had been promised the post of park superintendent if the FusionistI should win the election. st
 Tn justice to the mayor 1t should be pointed out that he said he did not see how, under the law, Mir Ryan could expect such an appoint ment, since 1t Is given by the park commissioners, non-political body
 MT. Ryan's statement follows:
 In this mornings paper I read with interest the statements of Mayor Hayes at a banquet in the Hotel Elton that I was an aspirant for the Superintendent of Parks position. That statement is an unqualified falsehood, and on a par with the many other false statements enanating from the city hall.
 Mayor Hayes, knows, or should know, that the Supt. of Parks IS appointed by the Park Board, 8 self perpetuating body and the city government has but one member on this board.
 AS chief executive of the City of Waterbury 1t might be well for Mayor Hayes to investigate @ lit- tie more fully stories brought to him by stool pigeons, sidewalk in- Spectors, and members of his poe litical family before making such statements.
 As Tor as the Mayor has seen fit to charge all those who oppose him as political job-seekers, per- haps he might inform us if his followers some of whom have been feeding at the political crib for 16 and IS years are there solely for the benefit. of the citizens of kaS

ed possible, through classroom
teaching, to raise the average age
of pedestrians killed or hurt in
traffic from the school child level
to above the 50-year-old level within
- months time. This feat is mar
red only by the fact that no way
has yet been devised to bring adults
into classrooms for daily safety
lessons
In the engineering field, greater
strides have been made. A few
years ago a red pin on a map was
considered record enough for
traffic mishap Now, thanks largely
to Franklin M Kreml and his pion-
eer work In Evanston, H., Off
eials may preserve the minutest
evidence of an accident. These thor
ough records enable experts to elm
mate street and road hazards, fix
responsibility for the crash, obtain
higher percentage of convictions
and give the .blameless driver a bet
ter deal in court.
Scores of other ideas are beinI
tried. Oyerpass crossings, high level
sidewalks, road Strengthening and
leVeling, better lighting, improve
nients in tires and car equipment
all are worthwhile trends toward
the common goal
But mechanical ingenuity never
will replace personal Judgment, and
the ISSUE of life Or death on the
road always will lie principally in
the hands of the man at the
wheel.
Summer, bringing its glut of cars
on the streets and highways
swings this problem into sharp focus
and emphasizes the responsibility
of individual drivers and pedes-
trians. 1t is a good time to decide
whether we shall restrict the auto
to its proper sphere in transpor-
tation, or allow it to grow on us as
a murderous juggernaut.

Years for PWI

WASHINGTON.-It has to ibe reported that
on the latest of at least dozen conspicuous
occasions Secretary Harold L. Iekes, the New
Deals India rubber man, has bounced back up
again from what seemed to be q position ON
the floor.
His PWA, which was supposed to be dead,
has been granted two more years of life with
funds.
There isn't going to be any new Depart
ment Of Public Works right away which means
that Iekes won't have to make n choice between
being secretary of that and lis present post as
secretary of Interior.
Also if the government reorganization oill
is passed the name OF the Interior Department
will be changed to Department of Conservation,
Ickes desires.
These assurances developed at a time when
1ckes, who hasn't been Well, was in the Naval
hospital here, away 1rom the firing line he
loves.
Few things demonstrate the quality of Ickes
well as his ability to stand above and SEEM
ingly oblivious to the constant bitter intrigue
which goes on within his department and the
PWA.

4 NEW ELEMENT
IN LABOR TROUBLES

Anyone who doubts that the country
is passing through a unique phase of
labor history needs only to look at the
daily newspapers to be convinced.
The country has seen lot of strikes
in recent years. All of them involved
two factions, the laborers who were on
strike and the employers against whom
they were striking. Sometimes the state
or federal governments have interfered
one way or the other but the interfer-
ence has, supposedly, been that of dis
interested third party.
Now, however, almost every one of
the nations industrial strikes includes
not two, but three vitality interested
groups. The striking laborers make up
one group, the employers another. The
third, and new, group is taken from the
ranks of labor itself 1t is exemplified
by the Back to Work" marchers in
the current Ohio trouble 1t is made up
of laborers not in sympathy with the
strike. They want to go back to work.
So far, they have been prevented from
doing SO because the federal government
is decidedly friendly with their striking
felloW-Workers.
The appearance of this "back-to-Work"
movement may be the beginning of the
end for left-wing labor organizers. Many
times in recent months they have sue
ceeded in closing down industrial plants
where the majority of workers did not
wish to strike They succeeded because
there was no organization among the
men who were satisfied with their jobs.
Organization of this latter group, be-
coming more apparent every day, may
mean disaster for the dues-receiying
gentlemen who make money out OF
strikes.
We believe the "back-to-Work" march
is a reflection of genuine public senti-
ment-and as such will triumph in the
end.

Out at Iowa State College, prac-

contribute the information that
color blindness causes even consei-

These interesting items do not
prove that science alone has the
answer to our enormous tra1flc

can ever control a transportation
