I saw a ripple of joy
Pass over the ripe wheat.
And | heard a sweet bird

Oh. why am l sad

So went on my way rejoicing,
Like the bird in his greenhouse,
And the wheat and the wind.

Insiders Think New Deal May Start Spending Again to Cure Depres- sion Fight Expected on Firearms A ct Changes.

Washington, Dec. 10.--Some of the most important members of the administrations inside group are now convinced that only an increase in government spending will snap the nation out of depression. They are sure the New Deal will "start spending again" in the near future.
 The prediction comes from men who usually know in advance what President Roosevelt is going to propose, although 1t is not yet being whispered that the president himself actually has concluded that there's no hop for resump- tlon of recovery except through spending.
 The drive for a private house. building boom and such co-opera- ton and concessions as the admin istration is offering to business arc expected to help. But there is no indication that private enterprise IS going to be able to check the ecor- om!c spiral and that means, accord- ing to insiders, that the job can be done only by pumping more govern ment funds into the economic sys- tenn.
 Government spending machinery has been kept well oiled with that possible eventuality, which seems increasingly probable, in view.
 If those who now predict 0 new spending program are as accurate

WATCHMAN IS FATALLY HURT
Marcus P. Cole Found Un- conscious By Son; Dies
 in Local Hospital

Authorities today were investigat- ing circumstances surrounding the injuries which caused the death of Marcus Palmer Cole of Willow street, West Cheshire, who died last night at Waterbury hospital. Death was caused by Q fractured skull, suffered a week ago.
 Cole, o watchman at the Ball 6 Socket Go. in Cheshire was found lying. unconscious on a couch at his home by his son. He was taken to Waterbury hospital, where x-rayS revealed the skull fracture.
 Possibility that Cole may have been assaulted is being considered. A pool of blood was found beneath @ bench at the factory, and the mans watchman's clock showed he had not completed his rounds. How ever, authorities leaned to the be- lief that an accidental fall against the bench caused the fatal injury,
 MT. Cole was born at Harrington, Me-, May s, 1865. He had been g resident of Cheshire for years, and served for Q long period as an en- gineer.
 Surviving are three son, Raymond of pittsburg, Harold of New Lon- don and Clifford of West Cheshire one grandchild; and Q sister, Mrs A. Fisher of New London.

At Nanking, Japan Strikes
 Heart Of Chinese Republic
OIden s hrines and Medernized City
 Face Oblivion
Hv NEA gervIce

Walls that were 100 years old when Columbus set sail from Palos for America, walls that were 20 miles long and 30 feet thick at the base are of little help il the last-ditch fight to bar Japanese from Nanking.
 True, those walls had largely been demolished in former wars, and even had they been intact they would have been no defense against mod ern artillery. But they guard the political shrine of the 25-year-old Chinese Republic.
 Here Sun Yat Sen came to an- nounce to the spirit of the departed Ming emperors the birth of the new republic.
 Here also a magnificent mauso. leum on the slope of Purple Noun tain commentaries Sun Vat Sen and his services to the republic that Is now almost prostrate before Japan. Japanese infantry have tramped through the small conl- pound which was sacred to the memory of the Father of His Coun- try, Sun Vat Sen. Here they are rec ported to have set up heavy artil- lery which would command the city, seven miles away.
 Literary Center Also
 Ranking was a city at least 600 years before Christ was born. It was Chinas capital under the early Ming emperors, who abandoned it in the l4th century for new capital at Peking as better protection against the Mongols. But the city itself remained impregnable, and wlthstood many sieges.
 Here came the New England clip- pers to trade for "nankeen," the cot- ton cloth which was Q staple article of trade in New England. But Man. king was not entirely city of trade. It was the literary center Of China as well.
 In 1850, however, the city was tak- en during the Taiping revolt, ana held by those religious zealotS TOT a long time until Premier u Hung Chang, aided by the American Gem eral Ward and the British Gordon was able to recapture 1t. Much of It's ancient glory disappeared at that time, including all but Q remnant of the famous Porcelain Pagoda Of which Longfellow sang in his poem "Keramos."
 Remade Capital in 1927
 Nanking, many Of It's ancient glorles vanished, and even the ven- erable Ming tombs, approached by long avenues fringed with great stone figures of animals, had a shab. by look. Much of the space enclosed by the ancient walls had become vacant, with lovely old marble bridges standing In the midst Of
