The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-09-15

In order to achieve this nearly equal number in the seven districts 1t was found necessary to make dis trict lines more irregular than they have been heretofore, but this seems to involve no practical difficulty in operation, as the Registrars Lists are entirely by streets.
 It has been suggested to us that these districts be designated as fol- lows:
 District No. 5-0 ........... 1917
 District No. 5-1 1........... 1909

CLASH ON
COURT
Committeeman in Row
As Green Testifies
For Revision
BY WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON
International News Service

A question as to whether Justice
Louis D. Brandeis had "lost touch
with the common people by a long
sequeStered life on the Supreme
Court" provoked row in the Sen
ate Judiciary Committee today
while William Green, president of
the American Federation of Labor,
was urging approval of President
Roosevelt'S judicial revision pro-
gram.
Senator Burke CD Of Nebraska
asked Green the question, after the
labor leader had declared for the
Presidents plan because it would
inject new blood" into q Court
on which, he said, some members
had lost the common touch" by
their clustered life.
Senator Dieterich CD of Illinois
objected to the question and was
joined by Senators McGill CD of
Kansas and Hatch Cd Of New
Mexico. While they argued, Green
demanded the right to answer the
question. 1t finally was settled
when Burke agreed to withdraw
the question, after declaring it was
the best way to refute Green's
whole argument for the Presidents
plan.
Clash Enlivens Hearing
The clash enlivened an other
wise dull hearing. Green spoke
for an hour, attacking the view
point of the Supreme Court as
now constituted and demanding
new blood" He declared the
Presidents plan proposed a con-
slant changing of faces on the
high court. first by injecting new
blood" now, and later on through
retirements under the newly-en-
acted retirement law. He said
this procedure would keep the Su-
preme Court abreast Of the times

BACK BOWLING

The District Commissioners to-

one bill to permit bowling alleys
in the city to open on Sundays
from 2 to IL p. m, and their op-
position to six other measures af-

In reporting on the bowling
alley bill, sponsored by Represen-
tative Dewey Short (R.) of Mis-

BERLIN, March 16 u.N.SD.
The new attack upon American
Jewry appearing in the Nazi
newspaper Der Angriff, calling
upon President Roosevelt to put
q halt to anti German "inSultS,"
was drppped completely and
without explanation in the Sec
Ond edition of the publication
this afternoon.
BERLIN, March 16 UNS)'
Opening another broadside on
American Jewry, the Nazi news
paper Der Angriff today called
upon President Roosevelt to put
an end to Jewish insults to Ger
many"
Der Angriff's latest onslaught
resulted from the anti-Nazi mass
meeting in Madison Square Gar
den last night, the proceedings OF
which were splashed on the front
pages of most German newspapers
The reports were carried with
headlines such as:
American Jew leaders insult
the German nation"
Such manifestations, Der Angriff
declared, have led to bitter com
plant by the German people over
failure" of the United States
Government to take adequate &C
ton. Der Angriff said:
"The Reich demonstrated by
its protest to washington over
the insults of Mayor La Guardia
of New York to the head of the
German government that 1t Is
not willing to tolerate further in
suits, which are becoming in
creasingly burdenSOme to Ger
man-American relations.
"Thus far, the American Gov
ernment has done nothing effec-
tive against the Jews.
"Since the Jewish assaults are
being renewed-aS shown by
latest dispatches from New York
similar incidents are likely to
occur In the future unless Ameri-
can authorities interfere.

energetic interference by the

New Device TO Measure
Light of Stars Revealed

A tiny instrument so sensitive it
can detect the light of a candle
5000 miles away was announced
by DR., Albert E. Whitford as a
measuring rule for the light of the
stars, writes a California CORE
spondent.
Doctor Whitford said he had used
the instrument, a photo-electric
cell about the size of a small light
bulb, to measure the brightness of
IL nebulae, or star systems. Only
one of the group, he said, is visible
to the naked eye.
In arriving at the apparent
brightness of each nebula, Doctor
Whitford compared it with a star
OF known magnitude. The difficulty
he encountered was to integrate the
light of the diffuse luminous areas
OF a nebula, any of which is so
large light would need 100, 900
years to travel across it.
The light Of a star would appear
as needle point on a Photographic
plate, while the image of nebu!a
might be 212 inches across. Doe
tor Whitford used the photo-electric
cell attached to the 10-inch tele-
scope at Mount Wilson observatory
in order to include the necessary
area in the field of view"
