as establishing a, fair balance of power between privileged wealth and economic strength, and the un- derprivileged or average person. He also thinks he can make the capi- talist system work without frequent dangerous breakdownS. At any rate Roosevelt is the one big driving force for change.
 How Power Has Been Used
 Roosevelt sometimes has seemed to abuse certain powers. Other pow- CTS, such as the drastic NRA ncens- ing caluse, he has failed to use. Up to now 1t has been commonly agreed that powers delegated to him by Congress usually have been nec- essary if the laws concerned were to function.
 The degree to which Roosevelt has used his power well and wisely is controversial. It has been sug- gested that another administration with the New Deals funds and powers have taken less political ad- vantage of them. That can't be proved. Obviously the lump sum appropriations, the power to allo- cate money to communities, the ap- peal of money in the form of grants, higher wages or pensions, have been huge political advantage and have been used to some degree as such even while the New Deal was saying they were merely essentials to re- covery. Although none of the big new spending agencies are headed by organization Democrats vide Hopkins, 1ckes, Tugwell, Wallace state and local organizations often are controlled by Democratic poli- ticians.
 No previous administration ever brought as many party hacks into Washington jobs. Or 50 many able, high-grade, experienced public ser- wants.
 Some disgraceful episodes appear in the record such as the income tax cases against Huey Longs henchmen which were dropped when the henchmen promised Jim Farley to be good. Few if any ur- ban, political machines have been

86% OF DEPOSITS
 IN STATE INSURED
Connecticut Banks Af= filiated With FDIC-An-
 nual Report Published
Especial to The Democrat

Washington, July 17.-Connecticut ranks fourth from last on the list of staets in percentage of insured deposits of banks under the FDIC, although 86 per cent of the deposits of the commercial banks in the state are insured. This is according to the annual report of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
 Connecticut's commercial banks reported deposits averaging $460, ,089,- 900 during 1886. Of this 86.3 per- cent was insured under provisions of the FDIC. Four states, Arizona, Utah, Vermont and Wyoming re- ported 100 per cent insured de- posits while the average for the en- tire coun y was 97 per cent. Kan sas, North Dakota and Rhode Island report a smaller per cent of insured deposits than Connecticut.
 The East Hampton Bank & Trust company of East Hampton is one of the A banks suspending opera tions during 1886. This Connecticut bank, not a member of the federal reserve system, had deposits total ing $1,050,371, of which $876,441 was insured, $48,124 subject to off, set, and $125, ,806 uninsured, un- secured, not preferred and not sub- ject to offset. P..yments to the B. 607 depositors of the bank by FDIC and receivers totaled $796,512 with $79,929 yet unpaid.

too rotten to stomach as long as they played ball, although federal agents lately have been smashing at the Pendergast machine in Kansas City. The Democratic National Conl- mittee has been selling lots of sou venir books to corporations at $250 apiece to evade a law against cor- poration contributions.
 No one boasts of the New Deals judicial appointments. Patronage raids swept over some agencies and were blocked In others; many mem- bers of Congress still complain that Roosevelt has done poorly by "de- serving Democrats"
 Power" Today's Big Issue
 But today Roosevelt-his program, his power, his alliance with an ex- banding, aggressive labor movement lis the real issue.
 The years have shown him to be a shrewd timer of punches, stub born, fond of himself and of ap- plause-like other public men, se- renely confident in himself and his public support, daring, ambitious 70 make a shining mark for himself in history and apparently impervi- ous to worry. His huge election vic- tory SO surprised and elated him that he popped his amazing court plan-only to find today that 1t has been used to stymie him and as a signal for all enemies to leap upon him. |.
 The President has declared war to the hilt on the axiom that "That government governs best which governs least"
 Instead, he sems to subscribe to a remark of his friend Felix Frank furter:
 ITO realize that there is a new economic order and to realize It passionately is the central equip ment of modern statesmanship."
 Many wish Roosevelt would realize it less passionately. And many exult. ,r

SPECIAL MEETING
 ON FILM PERMIT
Sympathizers of Span- ish Loyalists to Appear
 Before Police Board

Representatives of the North American Committee to Aid Span ish Democracy will argue the cause of the picture Spain in Flames" before a meeting of the Waterbury police commissioners tomorrow afternoon. The commissioners will be asked to overrule the order of Police Superintendent William J. Roach, who refused to issue permit for the showing of the pie ture, upon two occasions, when 1t was scheduled for presentation at Temple hall.
 Superior court action by the com- mittee failed when they sought to obtain an injunction from Judge Ernest A. Inglis to force Chief Roach to allow the showing of the picture.
 In presenting the cause to the police commissioners, the committee is taking the stand that the com- missioners are capable of rescind- ing any order passed by the super intendent.

of radical and conservative agitators for political power.
 President in All Fights
 Armies of working men, taxpayers, consumers, business men, investors, rent-payers, farmers, home-owners, and just average citizens" all have 8 stake in this fight, either in a group fighting for power or in Q group other which power is to be exercised. Nearly everybody is in both.
 On every one of the fronts you will find the President of the United States.
 President Roosevelt has bid for power for himself and for the pres- idency as has never been done be- fore. The whole conception of the presidency and its powers, and their relationship to other powers, polit- ical and economic, seems to be ct stake.
 Listing Executive Powers Today
 Roosevelt began to accumulate power in 1883, at a time of desper- ate crisis when some were begging for a dictator. Broad discretionary power for tie President or his agents has been part of most New Deal legislation to date.
 The President still has power to change the dollars value, to issue 5000, 100000 in greenbacks, and operate $2,00o,o00.OOo stabilization fund.
 The new neutrality act virtually gives him power to put us into a foreign war or keep us out.
 He can fix the wage rates of 2,000,000 WPA workers, whom he can also dismiss in patches of hun- dreds of thousands.
 His control over stock exchanges is about complete as he wants 10 make it. He car raise or lower tar- ifs by 50 per cent. He has shown that few words from him can send stock or commodity markets up or down.
 Congress has turned over to the President much of its power over the public purse. Roosevelt has bossed the spending or lending of about $15, ,o00, 100000 on relief and recov- cry.
 Seeks Still More Power
 But he has never made a bigger bid for power than in the present session of Congress. Right now he is asking for:
 1-Power to name five justices to the Supreme Court.
 9Power to reorganize the gov- ernment, to control most functions of the independent regulatory com- missions, to hire six administrative assistants, and abolish the comp

giving money to its member agencies
to aid people like those whose tragic
circumstances we have Just heard" "
Herbert L. Willett, jr., director Of the
Chest, told the radio audience In
explaining the Chests position.
But such critics forget two things.
They forget that the Chest received
$244,000 less than it asked for, al
though every cent Of our goal Of ST.
$4,000 was honestly needed. They
forget that private welfare agencies
are no longer expected to collect and
spend money for relief, which Is ac-
cepted as the responsibility of the
government, national. State and local.
"If the Chest had been expected to
provide relief we would have had to
ask for and receive $3,000,000 at the
very least, instead of Of $1,750,00
Legion Office Broke.
Turning to the second hapless fam
lily man, Conover asked:
did you ask the Community Chest
for help?"
II asked the American Legion,
which gets its money from the Chest,
but the Legion Office was broke. There
are too many others like me that need
help. Anyway, it's job want, and
not help. If the government is going
to help anybody it ought to help these
kids whose fathers are out Of work
and who are staying home from school
because they have no clothes to wear
and no food to keep them up during
the day so that they can study. They
need help worse than anybody else"
But you yourself want job?"
Certainly do. A job-any kind
Of job-that will keep me and my
family from being thrown out of our
place tomorrow"

she tells her mother she won't be

doesn't really like to go to school.

Both interviewees emphasized this
note: "All we want is a job" But
jobs they can't get and help they
can't get. One is a painter, the other
a decorator. The Community Chest

arrange a series Of interviews to stir
the general public to aid the 5000

ADVOCATES
new Amendment
Editor of the Nation Would In.
crease the Powers
of Congress-.

Characterizing President Roosevelt,s
plan to change the Supreme Court as
only an emergency" Max Lerner of
New York City, editor Of the Nation,
yesterday favored new amendment
to the Constitution to increase the
powers of Congress.
Speaking to members Of the diplo-
matte corps at American University.
in the fifth Of series of lectures, DR..
Lerner declared:
"The Supreme Court should stick to
particular cases and not settle consti-
tutional questions"
President Roosevelt's proposal Is
legal, constitutional and will meet the
immediate problem" said Lerner. 1T
involves absolutely no dangers of die
tatorship, despite hysteria on this
point. But it will not in itself meet
the permanent problem. While the
Presidents proposal is being pushed
forward, DR.. Lerner recommended that
"at the same time there should be a
move for constitutional amendment
to increase the powers of Congress"
The speaker praised the English sys-
tenn of government, where Parliament
settles constitutional questions, as q
very orderly government"
England" he said, "is not one Of
the violent countries. Parliament does
not overrun itself. I feel that after q
while here in this country both our ex-
citement over this issue and our rev.
erence' for the Supreme Court will die
down and we will deal with these
things In Q commensurate fashion"
