Only three states, according to a UP check-up, give the ordinary citizen a chance to get No. 1 on his automobile license plate. They are Oregon, South Carolina and Iowa. In those states the "early bird" gets the choice number. But isn't that equally true in this state where you can get low numbers or special ones or special letter combinations by making proper application? It can't be said that Connecticut actually denies the average driver the chance to get the plate num- berS he wants

The office of solicitor general of the United states is one of high im- portance. The department of justice can get along fairly we'll with an attorney-general who is not prime lawyer, but it is in for trouble when ever an attorney of mediocre ability is holding down the office of solicitor general. Attorneys-general can de- eide on administrative policies with out having to do the drudgery of attending to their defense in the courts. Solicitor-general on the oth- CT hand, must be capable of going to bat at any time, in pleadings or at bar against the ablest lawyers.

In New York
By GEORGE ROSS

New York, Feb. 28-When Garbo was last in New York, it remained for an unemployed chorus girl and her boy friend to cash in on the publicized fact that she stopped at St. Moritz. The girl, who looked enough like Garbo to pass for her double at a distance, arranged her hair like the Swedish siren, dressed herself accordingly, and checked in at the hotel.
 Then her partner set up a tele- scope in the park across the street and focused it on her room. When he got the desired range, he tack ed a sign on the instrument with large letters reading: AWAY WITH MARS, VENUS AND SATURN! SEE CARED, the GREATEST STAR OF THEM ALL IN PERSON AT THE ST. NORTH.
 The fair creature then proceeded to do her stuff. She paraded un- concernedly up and down the room, stepped to the window every minute on the minute, tried on hats, and every once in a while treated the boys to 8 thrill by removing bit of raiment. The boy friend, mean while, did a rushing business, at 50 cents a peek, untl a cop chased him.

LOOKING FORWARD
By FRANKLIN MAILMAN
Publicity Director, Republican National Committee

So callous to political morality have
the New Dealers become that they no
longer bother even to go through the
motions of trying to defend or justify
their politics and actions. Instead of
facing the conditions confronting
them, they are relying on their appar-
ent belief that the entire country has
been sufficiently Tammanyized to per-
nit them to check their defeat solely
by the lavish use of government
funds.
Sitting on the lid of the New Deal
er's Box and saying as little as pos
sible seems to be the 1888 New Deal
strategy. Admit nothing; answer moth
ing. That is the technique. Evidence
Of the use of relief funds for political
purposes accumulates; grand juries in.

the Federal Corrupt Act is being vio-
