Larruping Leo, the guy who pulled
himself up by his boot straps from a
mediocre performer three years ago
to a winner in the big time pro golf
circuit, declared today that if he
makes fair showing in the national
open championship at Detroit and the
p. G.. A. title tourney at Pittsburgh,
he will take a whack at the British
open tournament.

Picks I'm Soft Money,

I go travelled some $4,000 miles be-
tween early November and early
April along the pro golf front, seeking
a share of those elusive purses that
usually fell to the Guldahls, SneadS
Coopers and Smiths. He won around
$500 in cash and the trip cost him
somewhere between 81 200 and $500.
But he broke even or perhaps a little
better, he says.
All of which adds up to another re-
markable thing about the Walper man,
for the boys who make the big swing
usually figure on losing money unless
they happen to grab one of the big
purses. Leo explains that he fell into
lot of soft spots, where monied men
played him for considerable dough
with the expectation of losing. Il

boxer, couple of times" Leo said.

1t is he said, "if you can come any,

low who expects to go anywhere in
golf needs the experience he gets
against first-class opposition on a

hadn't been sick so long" Leo and
his wife both came down with the flu

were i'll for two weeks, keeping the

Sacramento and San Francisco.
How about this report that you

an arrangement like that. AS matter

without any particular change in the

From everything We have learned,
apparently the Japanese will attempt
to break through the lines on each
side of Kiangwan and they also will
endeavor to destroy the Yangtse bar
rier, enabling them to attack Nanking.
Neither of these obiectives is thought
by military experts to be able of
accomplishment without unusually
serious losses Of men and equipment
by them. 1t may take severe toll

Great Leader Passes

The death of J. Henry Roraback at his Harwinton estate yesterday is a distinct shock to Connecticut. While many were aware of the fact that his health had broken in the last few years, they believed that he had through medical care and rest managed to survive the worst. His death at his own hands would seem to confirm the opinion that his own outlook for future life had vanished completely. Thus in one short moment long life and a full one is crumpled J. Henry's race is run; memory alone now can supply the hiatus.
 For many months the state and coun- try will ring with his praises and tales ot his great political leadership. The ma iority of them will be authentic, for J. Henry Roraback was everything that great political "boss" should be. From the moment that he entered politics in this state in the guise of lobbyist in the legislative halls at Hartford he was com pletely successful. His tenure of office as head of the republican party of Connecti- CuL was one VlcLOIy dlIeI dllOGllCl, uAA- broken until Wilbur L. Cross, an unobtru- sive Yale professor broke the Roraback- ian lance on shield of ready wit and shrewd Yankee reasoning.
 As successful as was Mr. Roraback in the political world, so was he in the field of business Head of the Connecticut Light and Power company he saw it's con- trol in the public utilities field grow to tremendous dimensions. His business and political aspirations never clashed. He achieved prominence and success in both. You'll find today men of all walks and all parties joining in praise of MT. Roraback No man could have succeeded as he did and stayed at the top so long without being surrounded by many friends.
 His theory of political control was com plete control and it cannot be denied that he didn't practice it in this state. It was, too, the ultimate cause of the g.op. ma chimes downfall. He was fought on many sides for his stand on many political ls- sues and his insistence on machine pol itics, but we never noticed that he lost favor in the eyes of his partymen by democratic victories of the last few years. In 1886 he was immensely popular both with republicans and democrats. He was without a doubt Connecticut's colorful contribution to the U. s. political history of the early 20th century.

Produce Some Savings

The New Haven Register is still hot on the trail of over-expenditureS in the building program that is under consider ation for the state in the coming biennium. It notes in recent edition that considerable is credited for architects fees, and for engineers and "consultantS. It terms the proposed fees staggering" Many people have misplaced idea that building costs, involving the fees of an architect, engineer or some such profeS- Sional man are just so much money wasted They think that builders are competent to go ahead with plans and ideas they may give them.
 How often this theory has been found to be much more expensive than the fee that will be paid the consultant is too numerous to mention. The same is true of the state. The only suggestion we might offer in conjunction with the Registers obvious intent to save the tax payer additional expense is one advanced some months ago. A state architect or engineer would save in ten years what might be spent on another Sizeable project. It's something that should cer- tainly be part and parcel of state reor- ganization.
 However, that's neither here nor there. The problem now before the state is what to do and what not to do. We are aware of situation that allows just so much lee way. We have certain amount of money to spend now. We are fortunate in that respect. Where it should be spent and how is a delicate problem It demands the best opinions of our best officials. There should be no ducking or sidestepping this issue. Every duly-elected or appointed official has part to play now. His or her best efforts should be given to the prob lem at hand Politics must be laid aside for the time being and the state con- sidered. Concerted action only will bring a solution.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-05-20
Republican Having Weather

This is fine weather for republicans They are making hay down at Washing ton. Never has the democratic party faced greater split in the national capital than it does right now with con- servative democrats slowly but surely receding from the wave of New Deal op- tinism. It's going to be moot question in the next few months whether New Dealers will survive the test or seek a compromise with their less adventurous brothers who prefer a course that differs somewhat from the disciples of President Roosevelt.
 Connecticut legislators will be right in the middle of whatever sort of row or argument takes place. Both our demo- cratic senators are very much opposed to the Presidents court plan and undoubt- edly will swing away from him on other matters that they regard as too radical a departure from true democratic tradi- ton and policy. There are few other issues that disturb democratic legislators who have been accustomed to "play along" with their party leaders in the past, but who have finally come to the realization their independence cannot now be sacrificed for expediency.
 And maybe all this isn't warning the cookies of the hearts of those high in republican circles. Just watch their speeches in recent weeks and those to come Every sort of an overture is being made to the democrats who have broken with Roosevelt on the court plan and who undoubtedly will "buck" him on few other vital questions, such as the budget and loss of States" rights. Our only warn- ing to the democrats who are prepared to fight is to beware of republicans offer Ing party refuge.
 There is no need for any democrat who opposes President Roosevelt or any other Aigh party official to be faced with loss of party membership. It is no crime to

a solution

The Senate finance committee didn't waste much time in disposing of one plan of Governor Wilbur L. Cross to raise state income in the coming bien- nium. The one-cent increase in the gasoline tax was rejected Tuesday. We're glad of that for our present tax of three cents is quite sufficient unto present-day needs. And why should motorists be forced to pay taxes to build state institu- tions or retire deficits? Diversion of funds or special taxes on gasoline to raise funds for purposes entirely divorced from the source of the income is not good good business as years of experience have proved. We spend so much money annu- ally on our state roads that we should not be forced to raise money for outside purposes, too. The rejection of the gaso- line tax raises was in no sense, legis- lative slap at the governor, for he must have known it was doomed when he sug- gested it.

protection of Rebel warships, crossed the waters and proceeded to apply his brand of civilization on a ma jority of the Spaniards who were and are opposed to his Fascist views of a totalitarian state, where one individual is everything, and the rest of the individuals nothing.
 But 1t seems that after nine months of civil war, Gen. Franco has bitten off much more than he can chew. So Reichfuerer Hitler and Il Duce Mussolini & Go. fearing that Franco was threatened with a bad case of Loyalist indigestion, sent something between eighty and one hundred thousand men to help Franco chew up his big bite. They are still chewing at this writing, and find it very tough chewing, which leads this writer to believe that the Loyalists must be a well or ganized majority.
 It doesn't take much imagination or military knowledge to conclude that if the fight had been left to the Spanish Rebels and the Spanish Loyalists, it would have been a very short fight, in which the constitu- tionally- elected Loyalist government would have won, in spite of the be- trayal of all the Pontius Pilates, who have washed their hands clean of their international law obliga- tions, to supply a friendly govern ment with arms with which to hep it defeat a rebellion.
 Father Grimley takes broadside at the Soviet Government for med ding into the Spanish conflict, in face of the fact that it has been im- possible to establish anything be- yond the fact that the U. s. s. R. has sent nothing but ship loads of food and clothing to help the women and children of Spain. It hasn't been so with either Germany or Italy. These two countries are backing up the Rebels with men, ammunition and money. They are at war with Spanish democracy, and their methods are sickening to all decent people. They fight from the skies, from where they can hardly be reached, and up there in their se- curity behind the clouds, they rain death on helpless invalids, old men, women and children.
 The methods of Franco and his allies are clearly anti-C Christian, Father Grimley. Christ said: "Suf- fer these little ones to come unto me for such is the Kingdom of Heaven" Franco, the Defender of the Faith" drops bombs upon them.
 The Rebels are fighting 8 lost cause. Spanish democracy must and will live to the undying credit of a brave people.
