Address To Defend
State Commission


Willard B. Rogers, chairman Of
the Connecticut publicity commits
sion, Of which e. Vincent Maloney,
editor Of The Waterbury Democrat
Is q member, will take TO the air
tomorrow evening In defense Of the
commission and answer the claims
made in the report of the re-organ-
ization commission that the state Is
mot justified In engaging in adver-
Using the attractions Of the state for
recreation or for any other pur-
poses" The talk will be broadcast
from 6:l5 to $3.50 p. m. from VITO,
Hartford.
Appropriation
Efforts are being made by the re-
organization commission TO abolish
the publicity commission, which was
organized by the 1885 legislature,
with an appropriation Of 81. Bills
now before the general assembly
would abolish the present commits
sion, create q different commission,
and appropriate 100000 for the
commission.
A portion Of the reorganization
commissions report claims: indus
trial and trade promotional agencies
are frequently engaged In activities
Of this kind presumably for the
reason that the BENEFITS from such
advertising accrue largely to hotels,
railroads, travel agencies, and other
similar private business enterprises"
Mr.. Rogers points out the income
realized from numerous businesses
by the state, such as railroads, gas
companies, telegraph companies cleo
trio companies and street railways
last year, greatly exceeded that Of
1881 In spite Of the fact the taxes
were considerably lower.
Prominent Names
Large numbers Of new residents
we're brought to Connecticut through
the promotional programs Of the
state publicity commission, the New
England council and q number Of
live chambers Of commerce, accord
ing to Mr.. Rogers.
Among the we'll known people In
this group Of newcomers to Connec-
ticut were Henry r. Luce, president
Of the Time Fortune Magazine cor
poration; Faith Baldwin, author;
Lily Pons, singer; Floyd Odlum,
financier; Hendrix w. Van Loon,
author; Harry Kehoe, president Of
the Ward Baking company; George
Middleton, playwright; DR.. Earl 8.
Bennett, medical director Metropol-
itan Life InsrEnce Company: William
Grace Lines; and G. Chandler Ross,
portrait painter"
Among other achievements Of the
publicity commission since Its crea-
ton, according to Mr. Rogers. have
been the revitalizing Of the marine
industry along the Long Island
frontage: answering Of more than
10000 inquiries with reference to
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-03-09

opportunities in Connecticut: the
endeavor to interest outside industry
in some OF the abandoned factories
in the state; and the interest Of
non residents to Connecticuts hills,
lakes and shores. The potential in
come Of many millions Of dollars
from persons attracted to this state
by promotional advertising Is point
ed out by the head Of the commits
sion. Mr.. Rogers claims that to
abolish the source Of new revenues
is to be incomprehensively incon-
sistent.
Other Appropriations
In so far as the price Of promo
ton Is concerned, Mr.. Rogers asks
that the appropriations Of other
states for such work be considered.
The total amoung spent In state and
community advertising Is nearly
100000, while the estimated reve-
nue. on the so-called recreational
Industry is bringing $500, 200, 900
per year into New England, accord
ing to a conservative view.
Mr.. Rogers comments that the
members Of the commission are men
"who have no time TO waste On ac-
tivities that are not definitely pro-
ductive." III addition to Mr.. Rogers
and Z. Vincent Maloney they are,
Charles E. Smith, vice-president,
New York, New Haven 81 Hartford
railroad company; Allerton r.
Brooks, vice-president and general
manager. Southern New England
Telephone company: Z. Vincent Ma
loney, editor OF The Waterbury
Democrat; Albert Z. Lavery, vice.

 "The motto of the 18th fascist year is peace," shouted Mussolini "There has been much use and abuse of this word by the bleating of the so-called reactionary democ- racies. But when it comes from our lips of those who have fought and who are ready to fight again--this word attains its real, solemn, orig inal, human definition. Because tc obtain durable, lasting peace il is necessary to eliminate bolsheviSm from Europe. It is necessary that some absurd clauses of the treaties of peace be revised.

 Political Bond
 The present of the official Nag, delegation, led by Rudolph Hess, deputy leader of the party, demon- strated "the ever closer political bond uniting the two people," Mus solini said.
 Having talked of peace and its price, Mussolini said that the fascist regime had become completely iden- tiflc with the Italian people during its IS years of power.
 Tt would be extremely perilous, ' he said then, flor anyone to cross arms with this new, powerful na- tion."
 Every city, town, village and ham, let in the Italian peninsula joined in the celebration and heard Mus solini's speech by radio loud speaker It was celebration on the colossal scale possible only to totalitarian countries.
