The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-04-26

N~@@N~~@ --~~~-~ Rico.
 What happened was that Mrs. Roosevelt some time ago became acquainted with Luis Munoz Marin, young Puerto Rican politi- cal leader, introduced to her by a newspaper correspondent. As time passed, Marin became one of the chief fomenters of anti USA agi- tation in the island.
 This agitation has become more and more heated, eliminating in the shooting of a parade of Puerto Rican insurrectionists not long ago.
 Repeat Order
 About this time, Luis Munoz Marin asked for another inter- view with Mrs. Roosevelt, and thanks to the pressure of the newspaper correspondent, who is a close friend of Mrs. Roosevelt, it was granted.
 Result was that next day, Puerto Rican papers featured the news that Mrs. Roosevelt had re- ceived one of the leaders of the anti-American movement. The in- ference was that she favored this leader and opposed Dr. Ernest Gruening, her husbands director of insular affairs.
 Word has now been passed to the First Lady to be more
 careful about the people she interviews.
 NOTE-Impartial observers who have studied the Puerto Rican situation believe Dr. Gruening and Governor Winship are doing a good job in a trying situation. Most people don't realize 1t, but Puerto Rican agitators are often as fully armed as Hitler,s Brown Shirts. The recent shooting oc- cured when demonstrators ap- peared carrying rifles. Permission had been given them to parade without rifles, but they showed up with them.

 CCC Education
 The question of who shall de- termine what the CCC boys are taught in their spare hours has stirred up 8 hot rumpus in inner administration circles.
 Chief battlers are the war de- partment, eco Director Robert Fechner, and Dr. John w. Stude- baker, commissioner of education. They have been wrangling over 1t ever since the eco was created but the presidents bill trans forming the eco into a perma- nent institution has poured fresh oil on the flames.
 The bill is silent on the very controversial point of education. It provides that eco enrollees shall receive schooling, but the moot question of who shall boss
 this job is left entirely up in
 the air. Implication is that the
 president will decide.
 The three contenders, however, want control designated specifi- cally in the bill-and each is after the prize.
 Under the existing set-up the army. in practical operation, holds the whip hand over eco school ing. The ofiice of education, of the interior department selects the instructors, but the Army passes on all textbooks and other reading matter. Also, as 1t controls the camps, it is easy for the Army to oust teachers it con- siders Undesirable"
 Censorship
 Military bans on various liberal publications and instructors have resulted in number of sharp protests being lodged with the White House by educators and others. In several instances these complaints have been so vigorous that the president has intervened and overruled the Army, forcing it to restore outlawed matter to the eco shelves.
 Dr. Studebaker wants complete control over the educational work of the eco. He is also demanding that more time be allotted for schooling purposes. The Army is fighting him on the ground that 1t cannot share camp responsibil- itv and that fhe CsCC is nnt an
