POLICEMEN MUST LOCK
CALL BOXES IN FUTURE

An order yesterday by Police Supt
Ernest w. Brown will make it neces-
sary for many officers to resume fumb-
ling through heavy Winter clothes for
their call-box keys.
A complaint by the Districts super
intendent Of telephones, to the effect
that policemen had been stufing
matches in the locks on call-boxes to
keep them from swapping into place
brought about the order.
At one time. keys were left in the
box locks. but this practice was aban-
doned, largely because Of vandalism.

Neutrality:

call me unpatriotic?" he asked. I'VE
got this business away from foreign
nations into this country, where there
Is need for it."
Dineley declared his company was a
dummy" for several munitions firms,
but added it has no connection with
Cuse.
Pittman forecast the embargo meas
ure would be rushed through both
houses without debate, but there were
evidences he was somewhat too opti-
mistic.
Some Senators were reported to feel
that while the embargo probably was
necessary, it demonstrated the neces-
sity for mandatory neutrality legisla-
ton fixing the rules Of the game ahead
Of the need for action.
They considered making the argu-
ment that action in the present case
was bound to lead to misunderstand-
ing abroad and interpretations that
the United States Government was
unfriendly to the established govern
ment in Spain.
A plan for nationalizing five major
branches OF the munitions industry
was drafted, meanwhile, by four for
mer members Of the Senate Munitions
Investigating Committee, banded in
what they termed an "anti-profiteering
bloc"
The group-including Senators Nye,
Republican, Of North Dakota; Bone,
Democrat, Of Washington: Pope, DEM
ocrat. Of Idaho, and Clark, Democrat,
Of Missouri-announeed 1t also would
introduce its own neutrality bill to
strengthen and expand the present
act" which expires May /.
A 100000, 900 appropriation will be
sought, Nye said. to build or purchase
plants in which the Government can
produce all its own warships. armor
plate, guns. powder and poison gas.
In the Cuse case. the Government
previously had believed that 1t might
be two months before he would make
any shipments. But ofhcials said they
learned that he had put extra crews
to work to get the cargo ready.
The State Department said It had
issued the second license to Dineley
reluctantly on his insistence. Nineteen
export licenses were issued in all to
the San Francisco dealer.
Spain's Mexican Envoy Listed.
Dineley listed as consignee for the
shipment Felix Gordon Ordas, whom
he identified as the Spanish Ambassa-
dor to Mexico. (Ordas is reported en-
route by air to Washington from his
post in Mexico City on an unan-
nounced mission)
The new Dineley shipment was to
be consigned to Ordas ut Valencia,
Spain. seat of the Spanish loyalist
government, according to his applica-
ton for license.
State Department officials declined
to comment on reports that the Span
ish government had established q
large cash deposit in the United
States to finance such shipments.
Pointing out that considerable time
probably would be required for Din
eley to assemble his proposed ship
ment and procure the necessary trans
portation, sources close to the ad-
ministration felt there was little
chance that his cargo could be dis
patched before Congress can act.
1T Is obvious to US and should be
obvious to the Spanish government" I"
State Department spokesman said,
that the chances for shipping under
these (Dineley licenses) are exceed
ingly slight. Congress should have
plenty of time to take the necessary
action to stop them"

Sterilized Nails

A regular product of the steel industry nowadays is sterilized nails. Carpenters, fathers and others working with tacks or nails have developed technique in which the mouth serves as supply box. A fistful of nails is popped into the mouth and Skillfully elected one at 8 time, as needed. Workers demand Steril- ized nails for their own protection.
 The sterilizing process 'tumbles" the nails in revolving sawdust-filled drum, which cleans and polishes them and re- moves adhering oil. Next they are TO- tated in a second drum and heated to temperature of 500 to 500 degrees Fahren- heit, which destroys all bacteria. The heat produces thin film of oxide with blue color. When the proper color has been attained, the nails are cooled ana packed in kegs lined with sterillzed paper.
 The nails are popular for more than their germ proof quality. The color is at- tractive and has strong sales appeal even for people who don't know it's cause ana don't worry about germs, showing that beauty is welcome and profitable wherever it is found.

Desirable Change

The School Boards plan to change the entire Clark-Croft grammar school into the Leavenworth High school is read ilv appreciated by voters of the city. It is high time, indeed, that the technical school came into its own. We only hope that such facilities as the old and more modern buildings on South Elm ana School streets provide will be ample for the present. That the school may event. ually outgrow it's present enlarged quarters and demand new and modern institution is quite possible.
 It was apparent at the beginning of this school year that students of Leavenworth, as we'll as its entire faculty body, would be forced to work under severe handl- caps. With barely two months of the 1937-38 school year elapsed these handicaps have proved insurmount- able. The decision to grant the full use high school was the only solution that high school was the only solution that could be offered on the spur of the mo- ment. We feel sure that it will be appre- ciated by all concerned - teachers and students.
 The growth of trade schools is not con- fined to Waterbury. Everywhere this trend has been noticeable. Certainly ln an industrial center, as Waterbury is, we have wonderful opportunity to create in LeavenWorth High School an 1nstltu- ton that may blaze new path in scholastic endeavors. We sincerely trust that our school fathers will not overlook an opportunity to make it possible for this city to become leader in providing tralr1- ing in the trades, just as it has in the arts and sciences.

We May Be in This

President Franklin D. Roosevelt touched lightly in his congressional mes sage on regional planning But Con- gress at its special session is going to de- bate sooner or later gigantic planning measure which is designed to carve the United States into seven regions similar to and including that over which the IVA rules. The IVA is to be one of the seven regions. Another one is to be created on the Atlantic seaboard and we're won dering if into this region will fall the New England States and their present problem.
 If so then we must be prepared to see present plans for control of flood condl- tions in the Connecticut and Merrimac river valleys go by the boards in favor of more embracing plans, such as Presi- dent Roosevelt has long contemplated In the Senate it will be Senator George w. Norris of Nebraska carrying the pail and probably doing good job of it. HIS IVA is expanding by leaps and bounds, regardless of scattering criticism. In the House 1t will be Representative Joseph Jefferson Mansfield who will lead the way.
 Rodney Butcher had an interesting little article on the why and the where fore of the Presidents regional planning scheme the other night in the Waterbury Democrat. It is clear that vigorous drive for planned development and con- servation of natural resources is under way and its realization is Rooseveltian dream. It includes not merely flood control and soil erosion prevention but reforestation, storing of water for irr1ga- tion purposes, cheap electricity through government operation, management or actual ownership, employment for thous- ands in new projects, new means or hVe- lihood for many, and decentralization of urban population.
 It's a dream that only such men as Roosevelt and Norris could contemplate coming true. But then nobody ever thought Senator Norris would harness the Tennessee River and its tributaries, let alone reclaim Mucle Shoals from the waste to which it was fast returning.

the two great classes of society the priv iledged and unprivileged, the conServa- tive and radical, and compromise their differences, prevent their destroying each other, and thus keep free society going. Without their taking the shocks, and modifying the sincere convictions and aims of opposed classes too sincere to compromise, the Ship of State would go on the rocks. They talk and talk, and talk, and compromise issues without compromising themselves" and so pre- serve democracy.

Value of Politicians

Most people nowadays are inclined to sheer at politicians" The word itself is regarded as term of reproach or dis approval. And it is applied more and more indiscriminately, by superior citi- zens, to men in public office. But Dr. T. V Smith, of the Department of Philos- ophy in the University of Chicago, and member of the Illinois State Senate, feels differently about it. This scholar, gen. tleman and all-round good citizen likes politicians, and on the whole he approves of them. He finds them necessary and useful - so useful in free country that he boldly applies to them the term Saint Politicians" He regards them as the preserver of democracy, and thus the "seculaY saints of civilization"
 They serve this great, necessary pur- pose, he says -- that they stand between

There may be some fine points of law involved in this business of the Board ot Aldermen deciding to investigate high rents in Waterbury. In the first place we should imagine that it will have to be proved first that high rents prevail here. In the second place it will have to be decided just when rent ceases to become a low or moderate one and is rated as high. In the third place it will have to be decided what authority is capable or qual- flied or permitted to set an arbitrary limit on rents. One way, of course, or aiding the rent situation which may have reached the high level point by virtue Of scarcity of desirable rents IS to push tne low-cost housing project here in Water bury. If the efforts of those concerned about high rents could be combined with those desirous of eliminating slum areas and establishing low-housing projects perhaps we might get somewhere locally

Waterburians still continue to show faith in Christmas savings. Nothing IS better proof of the basic principle of sav- ing inculcated in group of people than announcements such as we had this week relative to the amount due Waterbury residents in Christmas Club savings. A total of $635,O0O will be paid out shortly to those who started these accounts ana maintained them during the year. This amount represents an increase over that of last year which in itself is most en- couraging. With money like this being paid out to depositors merchants can be assured of a goodly proportion being spent on holiday trading.

cause of the consolidated school, which, by reason of the many fa- vorable advantages presented by larger teaching staffs and marked economy in administration has be- come increasingly popular in re- cent years. Still, one has only to delve into rural school notes" to be assured that, instead of fading from the pastoral picture, the country school has firmly established itself as rural community center, where All, farm bureau, and "culture'' club" gatherings are held, usually of an evening when educational ac- tivity is at an end.
 Though 1t may present an un- changed appearance to outward view, the country school within has kept pace with progress. The corp ulent cast-iron stove which devour- ed a prodigious ration of wood has been succeeded by 8 modern heat- ing plant, well-f1lled bookcases re- place the few scattered volumes of yesteryear, bleak windows now are bright with gay curtains, comfort able desks have displaced the worn, muchly initialed product of an earlier generation, while the long open sheds which once sheltered buggy and saddle horse now are used to protect the uncomprehending motorcar from the clements.
 Those who have derived their con- cept of the district school from "The Hoosier Schoolmaster," "Glengarry School Days," or other such classics should they visit today's prototype will discover that the "little rec schoolhouse" has not vanished but has simply grown up to a life oi mitllre usefulness.
