Reindeer Now Being Trained
 For Christmas

Slaughtering of reindeer of the Ncme-Douglas herd, which has been going on at Fort Davis since last week, was completed, it was learned.
 Also. it was understood that several of the deer are being trained to the sled, and will make their appearance on Front Street at l:15 p.m., Thursday, Dec. B, when Santa Claus will do the driving of his own reindeer.
 City officials have been ap- preached and they are requesting that dog owners pay particular attention to keeping their dogs tied up and off the streets, due to the danger of stampeding the reindeer and, which in the past, has resulted in the death of sev- eral deer. A city ordinance, it is declared, will be rigidly enforced, regarding loose dogs on the streets.

But inflation always seems to be followed by defation, in this country. Now the radio broad casts are ended, and the sizzling newspaper is in other hands, and deep peace reigns over Detroit and its environs.
 And the oint is that this is just sample of the way American life seems to work. Father Cou- ghlin was a symbol; like Dr. Townsend, the Rev.Gerald Smith, Senator Huey Long and the rest of the great tribe of demagogueS, he rode a wave of blind discon- tent to the very crest-and then subSided quietly into the trough again as the wave swept on out from under him.
 Where is Rev. Gerlad, by the way, Gone to join the shadows, somewhere,a mute and inglorious Milton once again. Dr. Townsend, who once marshalled the pathetic bewilderment of some millions of aged folk, is in the shadows, too with none but the most humorous of congressman to quake at his footsteps. Huey Long has met the violent death he courted.
 For the confused social condi- ton which produced these men produced them, in the sense that it provided them with a ready made audience-has changed The best indication that the cour try has passed out of the depres- sion is the fact that the audience has gone home. The country on. ce more is ready to listen intel. lectually, not emotionaly.

 And a third CIO man, over six feet, taller even than Murray, barges out of the door. It is Jos eph Curran, president of the Ma tional Maritime Union. He is young, in his early sos. He looks like the pictures on the covers of adventure magazine-the square shouldered flat-chesiked first mate with a pistol in one hand and a table leg in the other beating off a band of South Sea Islanders try ing to board his ship.
 Soon they will be seeing Lewis, who is sitting in his office on a high floor dozen blocks away. You know him already.

 First of the delegates of the American Federation of Labor to come from the room is George Harrison, president of the railway clerks. All the delegates are well dressed, but Harrison perhaps is more casually careful in dress than the rest. He looks bit like bank vice-president and talks man-t to-man with high railroad officials. President Jeffers of Un- ion Pacific once introduced liar rison as speaker at a banquet, say ing something to this effect: We differ on many questions, but liar rison knows railroad operation.
 Matthew Woll, like Dubinsky, is shoulder high to most men. He wears a wing collar, is dressed as if he had come from a corpora ton directors meeting. Not all labor groups like him, but he is vice-president of the AF'L., vice president of the photo-engravers and president of the Union Labor Life Insurance company. That last sort of makes him corpora ton director
 In turn these men will soon be talking to William Green, presi- dent of the A. F. of L. Like Lew is, you also know him. It was un- der him that labor split. He'd like to patch it up.

 Nothing ever stay put in the United States. Today's big shot, who shins painfully to the top of the flagpole and calls signals for half the nation, is apt 10 be down on the sidewalk tomorrow won dering where he can get nice job shoveling snow.
 This philosophical reflection was provoked by the news that Father Charles E. Coughlin had sold his newspaper. Social Justice. 10 a syndicate headed by a gen. tleman from Toledo, Having re- gently retired from the air with the approval of his ecclesiastical superior, Father Coughlin now retires from the fourth estate like wise-and, presumably. returns to a single minded devotion to the cares of his parish.
 It is not so long since no ap- praisal of public opinion was worth a nickel until Father Cou- ghlin had been heard from. Mill lions of people hung on his words. No great public issue could be settled without his say-so; the President of the United States could not act without drawing either a glittering encomiuln or a stern rebuke from Detroit's radio spellbinder,

Especial To The DemOcratD
 Hartford, Feb. 3-The bill which would give newspapermen of the state immunity from prosecution if they failed to reveal the confiden- tial sources of information made the basis of newspaper articles, intro- duced yesterday in the state senate. was presented in the state house of representatives today by Rep William c. Hungerford of Water town. The bill was entered in the senate yesterday by Senator George Culhane. Both legislators said they introduced the bill at the request of the Waterbury Newspaper Guild.
 No Compulsion
 The measure proposes that no court in the state can force re- porter to reveal confidential sources of information, and stipulates that no action for contempt of court shall be taken against any reporter who refuses to disclose the source of his stories.
 The Waterbury Newspaper Guild informed both legislators that passage of the measure would in no way affect the freedom of the press in this state, nor would 1t in any way run counter to the libel laws of the state.
 The bill is headed: An act con- corning the immunity of newspaper employees from court compulsion to disclose confidential sources of in- formation"
 New Legislation
 The proposed measure follows:
 No editorial or reportorial em- ploye of any daily newspaper published in this state shall be required by any of the courts of the state, or courts of the cities, boroughs or towns of this state, to disclose confidential sources of information on which any articles, stories or editorials appearing in said newspapers, or parts of said articles, stories or editorials, are based. It is also provided that

Trial of the damage suits of Charles Dewey and Fred Sturtevant against Morris and Ike Sovitsky which was expected to open yester- day in the court of common pleas before Judge Edward J.

Pet Dog Gives Alarm For Fire,

 Staff of the Fire Marshal

Stan of the Fire Marshal
 It was a cold and windy morn ing, and perhaps the little pet fox terrier, Duchess by name, owned by Joseph Baron of 33-35 Putnam Street shivered from draft somewhere, at 4:3O o'clock this morning. Then she started to scratch the floor, and pull away from the leash that held her.
 The noise awakened Mrs. Baron who found the bedroom of the first floor full of smoke, and more smoke Ozzing from tse cellar or the basement where the fire was actually located. Mrs. Baron issued a cry of fire, and with her alarm up jumped MT. Baron, his daugh- ters, Edith and Ruth, and the son Milton. The Baron family lives on the first floor.
 On the 2nd floor MT. and Mrs. Sampel Silverman, owners of the property, reside with their chiI- dren, Esther, Louis, Bessie, Irving and Mollie.
 On the 3rd floor live Anthony Chmielewski and his wife, Julius, Helen, stephen and Sophia.
 Tho Barons teIcphOncd the Fire Dept. and shortly afterwards box 152 was pulled, but was not sent out. The alarm brought Acting Deputy Chief Stephen Bloomfield, Engine 1 with Lieut.. Mich. Cava- naugh, Engine 2 with Lieut.. Wal ter Johnson, and Truck Co, No. 2 with Lieut.. John Stevens.
 When the flrcmcn arrived they found the house full of smoke, and the occupants outside shak- ing from the cold. A water line and chemical line were quickly sent into the cellar, in the vicinity of the chimney base, where large balls of burning soot had dropped through to some rubbish nearby and started the fire. The floor jOists, wooden supports and wood- en partitions were badly burned, but at no time did the fire of it- self get beyond the place or origin.
 A had chimney condition was blamed for the fire. The little fox terrier was given credit for mak- ing 1t possible to discover the fire before the flames had progressed more than they did. Attached to the house is wagon shed, rum ming to small barn on the Will iard st. side, where two horses were stabbed during the fire.
