Only the sturdiness of 6 highway fence saved Fred Ashmore, sr., of 20 Tolles Square, Naugatuck, from serious injury at 8 o'clock this morning on Thomaston avenue. Ashmore's truck, heavily loaded, left the highway and crashed into the fence, the heavy cables preventing the vehicle from tipping over. Motor Patrolman Vincent Begg, after an investigation, arrested Ashmore on charge of reckless driving and notified hi into appear in trafiic court next Monday. .
 The truck was proceeding south on Thoniaston avenue when, ace cording to Ashmore, c car coming in the opposite direction headed di- rectly for the trucks side of the highway. Ashmore swerved and as he did 50 the truck began to skid. He applied his brakes, but this sent the truck on to the soft shoulder of the road, where the right front wheel dug deeply into the ground and sent the truck sway toward c bank over the Golf Lots. Fence posts were loosened in the crash but the cable held and the truck did not tip over. The accident occurred opposite the state motor vehicle dee partment testing lane. Ashmore was not injured.

Black, Not Roosevelt, Fa- thered "New Deal" Backed Wage . Hour Laws Struck at Price.Fixing, MOnOpO- lies.

Washington, Aug. l8- Senator Hugo Black of Alabama is loyal unquestioning follower of the ad- and owes his Supreme Court appointment largely to his subservience to Roosevelt. So goes the batter.
 The facts are something else again.
 And the big outstanding fact of which perhaps Roosevelt himself isn't aware is that in four years the President has swung complete ly around from primary tenets of his original political . economic philosophy to the policies advo- cated in 1883 by Black. Vital poli- cies winch Roosevelt refused to acc cept when Black urged them then are now among the brightest jewels in the New Deal store win- dow.

Urged Wage-Hour Bill

Few are aware that Black firs' voted to knock out the MIRA or codC section of the National Industria Recovery act, then voted for MIRA when 1t carried the Borah anti. monopoly amendment and finally voted against the finished measure as 1t came from conference for req sons which Black explained in 6 long forgotten speech. In that speech made June l3, 1883, you will flno much of what is sometimes called now, "The New New Deal"
 Black urged . flat wage-hour bill in which wage and hour htnadards would declared by Con. gross, and enforced by the gov- ernment and in which there would be no trade practice provisions or sops to industry.
 He predicted collapse of NRA. Today Roosevelt stands behind Blacks bill which strictly con- cerns itself with wages and hours.
 Black argued against an act which would permit price, fixing and restraint of production. Roosevelt approved the measure.
 Today Roosevelt has declared against price-hxing, has taken sev- eral steps toward lowering prices and Is searching for a method of ob- taining the highest possible level of production with the lowest feas- ible level of prices.

A steady hand. . This should be a lesson to the modern generation of bartenders Out in St. Louis Jack Miller has been mixing drinks for good many years, which isn't unusual but the fact that Miller is totally blind rather makes the story interesting, don't you think He never spills bit of liquor in his daily work either He has the various brands of liquor so arranged shelves that he turn to that desired by the customer without hesitation. =.
