Legislature to limit or restrict the use of advertising.
 The State Dental Association has thrown its support behind bill to forbid the advertising of fees, prices or partial payment plans by den- tists. A statute passed two years ago restricts dentists in the adver- Using they may do. There is also proposal before the present Legis- lature for 8 law which would apply similar restrictions to beauty par- lors. t.
 We believe such legislation to be based upon a principle which is entirely wrong.
 This newspaper did not favor re- peal of the 18th amendment and the return of liquor. When liquor did return it, in common with all other newspapers in the Gannett group, refused to accept liquor ad- vertising.
 Nevertheless The Times opposed the quite strong movement to make it illegal to advertise lquoE for sale in the states where selling itself is legal. The theory about that is that the question of legaliz- ing liquor sales should be settled on its own merits, an diff it is made legal to sell liquor then there is neither sense nor justice in saying that it shall be made illegal to advertise the sale.
 The same reasoning is applied to matters under discussion in the Connecticut Legislature now, The dentists against whom an advertising ban is sought are li- censed by the state. They have 8 right to operate. They are under control of, state commission. Hair dressers likewise. Their proper conduct is one thing, to be dealt with by itself. The honesty or dis honesty of their advertising is an- other thing. to be dealt with solely on the basis of its propriety as ad- vertising and not as means of pre- venting business practices that are not proper.
 If those who object to advertis- ing by dentists and beauty shops will aim their fight, not at adver- Using in general but at advertising which is dishonest, and will devise reasonable and effective laws de- signed to prevent it, this newepa- per will not oppose them but will support them,
 We believe it is wrong to attempt to defeat dishonest advertising by forbidding advertising in general. Any dentist or hairdresser who wishes to cry his services in the market places fundamentally has a right to do so.
 We are opposed to infringements upon the right as long as it is hon. estly and decently exercised. When a profession is not honestly and decently pursued, that becomes a matter for the examining boards and the police. That is the way to get at improper practices-l1ot the indirect method proposed.

News that new baseball diamond and additional tennis courts are to be added to the present facilities at Fulton Park is encouraging to devotees of these sports in Waterbury. There may be some com blaming that such fields are not being developed in other sections of the city, where there are no such recreational spots available. However, the location of the new diamond and courts means that they will be accessible to an entire ly different section of the city than that now served by the present layout along Cooke Street. If they are to be placed adjacent to the present bowling green up on the hill above the pond, it will be right where the old Burnt Hill athletics four ished in the good old days. This is re- storing to it's former place in Waterbury's athletic world an old and time-honored region.

New Triple A

NeW 1EAple "A
 Behind the scenes a rough out line of a new AAA bill is being whipped into shape for submission to Congress, if the Presidents bill goes through.
 Formulation of this program was the real purpose behind last weeks conference of farm leaders in Washington. At g similar cOnfab last winter the only important agricultural re- lief measure decided upon for this session waG a crop insur- aliee program.
 Two reasons are behind this re. vived militancy:
 ONE is the recent reversals by the Supreme Court which, farm leaders feel, indicate that the Court is in the thrDes of pre- found upheaval and that on ala- other test new AAA would stand an excellent chance to get by.
 SECOND is the strong under cover conviction of the farm lead- CTS that the President is going to have his way on the court issue.
 The new Triple A probably will provide for three-year crop con- trol contracts instead of one year, with the money to pay the goy- ernment benefit checks again raised by processing taxes. This time, however, the tax features will be in a separate bill instead of being a part of the farm measure, as they were in the orig ir1al AAA.
 Secretary Henry Wallace is wholeheartedly behind this pro- gram. He considers the present soil conservati ton act intellectual, wants new crop control law plentifully equipped with teeth.

 Preparing to fold up in June. Major George Berry's Council for Industrial Progress has begun lay- ing off personnel. Already half of its executives and clerks have re- ceived dismissal notices. The 81 utility holding companies which have bowed to the Holding Company Act and registered with the Securities 3s Exchange Cor1- mission, represent only about 29 ,er cent of the book value of all U. s. holding companies. Among the hold-outs are three of the biggest-Electric Bond & Share, Associated Gas & Electric, and Standard Gas & Electric. The validity of the holding Company Act will not come before the Su- preme Court until its next term, which begins in October.

Nomination of Rep. John D. Thoms of this city to be Statute Revision Commis- sioner is the first important change in the state government proposed at this session of the Legislature. The office is now held by former legislator, Freder- ick Scott of Plymouth who also served on the original Board of Statute Revision before the conmissionership was created several years ago. Only confirmation ot the Senate is required on this guber- material nomination and it was being freely predicted in legislative circles to- day that the democratic-controlled Sen ate would not withhold this.

In Paris
BY GEORGE ROSS


 Paris, April 29.-If the. ten thou sand or more sidewalk cafes that dot Paris rues are any proof, the French are the most sedentary peo. pie in the world.
 They are content at a table and chair, al fresco, and their sitting stamina is phenomenal. A Parisian for example, can make little derni tasse last for an hour and half and tumbler of diluted Pernod can keep him pinned to the same spot for three hours. He is never molested by the proprietor for taking ur space on the premises.
 To the American, accustomed to a quick highball, brief cocktail and "bottoms up," the Frenchman's patience and perseverance with an apertif are wonderful to watch. Set ting down at one of the poker chir tables in the Cafe de Ia PaiX, he first views the passing show for quarter of an hour, scrutinizing every paSserby of either sex. Then he may call for the waiter and spend another quarter of an hour wait ing for his liquid refreshrnent tc show up.
 When it does, the Gallic boule- vardier would deem it heretical tc raise the cup to his lips straightof The sidewalk cafe sitter first in- spects his glass for imperfections then lights a cigarette, sits back and relaxes while the pedestrian parade passes before him.
 Or he may take a nap, read Figaro from cover to cover, or chat with the fellow sitting alongside him. But give him an hour before he can get around to slipping his Pernod, Dubonnet or Vermouth, Sec. Business Is Pleasure
 It is true not only of Paris but of all France where this transient alighted. The cafe is the focus of social and business activity. A Frenchman belongs to a good club when he is accustomed to sitting on an elite sidewalk, where his world strolls before him, and there is not Frenchman in an apron who would nudge him to get on with his drink and quit stalling.
 The cafe also is the locale of important business conferences. When a salesman wishes to drive home the advantages of his wares to client, he will gently steer him to the outdoor bistro on the corner and lavish mild drink upon him. If two hours are required to close the deal, the waiter may have to exert himself and bring out sec- ond round of the same. And mutter Mon Dieu" under his tray. <
 Hears Taxis' Death Rattle
 An, but boulevardiers are com plaining about the passing of an- other Paris institution. Those old, box-car taxicabs that wound up like internal machines and started and stopped only by the will of the Divine Providence instead of me- chanical genius are fading from the Parisian scene. To take their place, streamlined, turtle-effect chariots, not unlike our own New York IS 6 5's, now scoot up and down the Champs Elysees, making an Ameri- can feel at home and a Frenchman at odds and ends.
 For as one hackman, taking the corner on one wheel in his new fangled machine explained, those ancient, cherry-colored voitures, such as the snorting engines that joined the Paris taxi drive on the Marne during the World War, are now or thr 'unk heap. awaiting dis- memlefncUl for burial. Nowadays, Amer eang yilng through Paris aren't 0ffai9 that they will fail throul ott0m but that they will bt o9pdcl l through the roof.

Mathematics Is Cleared for Layman
 BY BRUCE CAPTION

Maybe you thought that mathe- maticS, the well-known hand- maiden of the sciences, was the one thing on earth that did not and could not have a class angle. That just shows how little you knew about it.
 Lancelot Hogben, eminent Brit- ish mathematician, gives us mathe- matics from the left-wing view point in Mathematics for the Million" (Norton: $3.75), and makes first-rate book out of 1t. Mathematics, says Professor Hogben is a language just as Eng fish and French are languages; the language of measurement. 1t happens that we are now living in world which does more and more of it's work in that lan- guage. Furthermore, it is using that language for its theorizing.
 How, then, he asks, can the or dinary man hope to keep his head above water unless he can talk the language?
 The answer Is obvious: he can't. Mathematics, once locked up as the secret of 6 priestly class, and later turned into a top for intel lectuals, must be opened to the man in the streets. says Professor Hoghen. Only so can he under stand the modern world and de fend his rights in 1t.
 So Professor Hogben tells what mathematics is and how it works, from its lowly beginnings to its incredibly complicated and ab- struce perfection.
 Now 1t happens that your re- viewer is the greatest dunce alive, when 1t comes to mathematics; yet he--even he-read this book, en- joyed it. and was enlightened by 1t, although there is much in it he will never grasp.
