Attempts to move the Government

Of the Civil Service are precipitating
bitter political opposition from bran
ches Of the Government that have
been filled with political pets dur

tendency throughout many execu-

TILL looking toward
National Art Week
early in November,
two more Milford ar
- fists were interview
ed this week. This time a father
and son, who have and enjoy the
same hobby, as they term their
fine accomplishments, were our
subjects. Harry Humes and
his son, Alphonso E. Humes, do
quite a bit of painting. Some
of their pictures, exhibited at
the annual art show at Reho-
both for the past three years,
will occupy prominent places
during the week of November
1T. They both like oil for its
permanency, but the junior Mr..
Humes also likes water color
for the effect and as an easy
medium. Mr.. ]. Harry Humes
has spent parts Of three sum-
mers Down East in colonies
where art appreciation is ram
pant. Gloucester and Rockport,
Massachusetts,, and Old Lyme,
Connecticut, have lent them
selves as background for pic
lures on maratime life and of
rolling country. These Mr..
Humes has enjoyed. He says he
gets more satisfaction from
copying of other pictures, and
has several fine examples, one
of which Rembrandt at 64," will
be exhibited. AL, as most Mil
ford folks know him, studied at
the Philadelphia School of In
dustrial Art, with a decided lean
ing toward interior decorating,
which he has used with pleasure
and profit in his home and his
business. He enjoys sketching,
and thinks there is a wealth of
background at hand. but regrets
that hills and mountains are
sadly lacking. He win have a
part in the exhibition. More
might be said of both of these
Milfordians, but their modesty
will not permit.

main there until after the holiday
season.
Frank SaIevan is having hard
luck with his horses this fall. A
month ago he lost a valuable horse
by it getting fast in its stall, and on
Thursday morning of this week an
other mare that his son was driving
to a milk wagon in Milford, fell and
died in a few minutes at the corner
of Front and Pear streets. The last
animal was getting old and yet it
served as faithfully as any other
horse would do to the work.
In the history of sweet potato
growing in this part of Delaware,
there has been no season when the
quality of the tubers was better
than it is this year. The yield has
been from fair to excellent, and the
prices have been satisfactory to the
growers who desired to sell from
the fields, but many hundreds of car
loads have been stored in the pota-
to houses of Kent and Sussex coun-
ties for shipment in the winter,
when the prices are usually double
what they are now.
Charles A. Bond, who has pur-
chased the water power, shops and
at the Haven Mills from
the George S. Grier estate, has been
in Milford this week looking after
his property. He will repair both
the shops and the dwellings, COM
mencing work on the shops next
and the other property as
soon as he can get possession. The |
shops will be fitted up for the man
ufacture of mechanical tools. The
water power is one of the best in
lower Delaware.

Lonergan Show-Do1un Due m Next 24 Hours
Cummings Statement Expected Tomorrow on Renonl= ination of Veteran Hartford Legislator
 Fitzgerald May Desert Maloney, Smith

Hartford, Conn, June 30.--(UP) Major developments were expected in the next 24 hours whcih may accentuate the growing realignment in the Connecticut Democratic party between left-wing and right-wing groups.
 It was believed that by nightfall Friday the stand of the New Deal on the renomination of conservative U. s. Sen. Augustine Lonergan may be made known by U. s. Attorney General Homer S. Cummings, who has been canvassing the situation all week.
 In addition, another major pro- nouncement was expected in con- nection with place on the state ticket.
 New Deal Democrats in Connec- ticut were reported extending feel CTS" for possible alignment against the conservative machine headed by U. s. Sen. Francis T. Maloney and State Chairman J. Francis Smith.
 One report said Attorney General Cummings was seeking to lure Ma tional Committeeman David E. FitzGerald away from the Maloney- Smith camp and into the New Deal fold.
 FitzGerald was regarded as friendly to President Roosevelt and Cummings, and reportedly opposed appearance of Chairman Smith at Washington during the hearings on the supreme court reorganization bill. Smith opposed the court bill before the senate judiciary com- mittee.
 Meantime, Washington headquar- ters of the American Federation of Labor bombarded state federation officials with requests for endorse ment of Senator Lonergan. Railway Brotherhood officials did likewise.
 President James Clerkin of the Connecticut Federation told the United Press there would be no endorsement of party candidates
