The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-06-13
In New York
Bv GEORGE ROSS

New York, June 13-Typical New Workers: They are inclined to dis trust others and believe implicitly in themselves.
 They consider the rest of the country outlying districts.
 Sophisticated as they consider themselves, movie stars personal appearance can throw them way off their mental balance.
 They are the best dressed, the most ill-mannered folk in the land.
 They are inclined to put more Ion the nose" at the race track than on their wives backs.
 Theirs is a small-town gossip amplified by 8 million tongues.
 Their greatest crime is the mur- der of the English language.
 But they're good of heart and charitable to fault.

All Around the Town
 Climb on the sightseeing van and see the New York sights:
 The eternal popping out of heads from hotel and apartment house windows at every clank of auto bumpers in the street below, where Jerome Bonaparte once lived and now a popular place for woung shag dancers. Its close neighbor is Grants Tomb.
 The towns musicians who clutter up the blocks on Broadway at 5tOh street every afternoon.
 The thousands of cubic feet of rock being excavated from under Sixth avenue to make way for an- other of Father Knickerbocker's underground railways.
 The Times Building at the Square, an island entirely surround ed by humanity.
 The baby carriage legion on up- per Broadway, each pram contain ing some mortal who will grow up to curse the carriages which haraSS the pedestrian on the street.

Seeing Television First

Seeing TeleviSiOn First
 We sat before a box-like cabinet, not unlike the radio at home, and saw and heard Gertrude Lawrence enact 8 scene from the Broadway hit show, Susan and God". The man in the next seat whispered, For television, this is 8 historic moment-if 1t works" And it worked.
 It was the first time television had lured an actress of such pres tige as Gertrude Lawrence. It was the initial attempt to initiate the action and scenery of a Broadway play. And it was the first time television had maintained 8 steady flow of movement and dialogue for as long as g minutes, instead of the usual three to five.
 To the novice spectator, it was an awesome exhibit. It opened to the imagination broad vistas of what could happen when television achieves a practical and commer- cial value in broadcasting. 3road- way :. sports events hits movies brought into your ] living room at the flop of dialI

VOTERS TRAIN
300 AbSenteeS Go
Home to Ballot

Some 800 New York, Connecti-
cut and Massachusetts, residents
desirous Of casting absentee bal
lots in the November 8 election
were carried to New York city last
night in a special registration
train arranged for by the Demo
cratic Absentee Voters Bureau.
New YorkerS must register per
sonally by 1890 p. m. tonight in
order to be eligible to cast abSen-
tee votes. A number of MaSSachu-
sets voters, who have until
Wednesday to register personally,
and several Connecticut residents,
who have until October 20, took
advantage of the special train.
Most States closed registration
last Saturday, according to Mrs.
S. Jennings Asbury, director Of the
bureau, located at 1406 G. st. N.
w. There are nearly $1,000 eligi.

wartime on a mass production
scale, without any delay.
The Administration has adopted
a realistic view Of the Munich
peace without honor" The con-
viction is held that war has only
been postponed. German rearma-
ment continues on a war basis,
unabated. Britain and France are
feverishly trying to catch up with
Hitler.
President Roosevelt, in reveal
ing the necessity for a new re-
armament program, said it has
been occasioned by developments
abroad in the past month, and
confidential information that has
come to the White House in the
past year.
ON WAR BASIS
One of these secrets, it was
learned, Is that Germany's entire
industrial fabric is on a wartime
basis, turning out war materials
"a hours a day and that its air
plane factories are turning out
i 1000 fighting ships per month.

Hitler Scores New
Diplomatic Triumph

BERLIN, Oct. IS G.N.S0.
Adopting the role of middle
Europe's arbiter and peacemaker,
Chancellor Adolf Hitler brought
powerful pressure today for a
speedy settlement OF the Czech
Hungarian territorial dispute.
Forging the deStinies of nations
from his Munich FuehrerhauS,
Hitler kept Czech Foreign Min
lister FrantiSek Chvalkovsky and
former Hungarian Premier Kolo-
man Daranyi at Munich last night
for further conferences in which
he sought an agreement on ex-
actly how much of Czechoslovakia
Is to be ceded to the Hungarians.
Another diplomatic triumph for
Hitler, serving as demonstration
that he can settle central Euro
pean quarrels without Premier
Mussolini's aid.

President Plan 81
Record Arms
Program
BY ROBERT G. NIXON
Copyright 1880

NOOpyTlBnI. 1881
ON.S) President Roosevelt
will send to Congress, when it con-
vereS in January, the most mo-
mentous national defense message
since Woodrow Wilson. % years
ago, told the nation it must go
to war.
The Presidents message will be
one Of peace, but Of a peace and
security that, in a world where
nations are armed to the teeth,
he and his advisers are convinced
can be assured only by military
strength.
He will tell Congress and the
American people that billions
must be spent to make the United
States so strong no foreign power,
or combination of powers, would
dare attack it.
WANTS BILLION AND HALF
The President, it was predicted
in authoritative circles, is expected
to ask Congress for a minimum
national defense budget of $780,
100000 for next year. The sum, it
was conceded, might even exceed
this figure, the largest by many
hundreds Of millions Of any ma
tional defense appropriation in
peacetime.
The Presidents defense message
is expected to contain an ominous
warning that this, the worlds
wealthiest nation, can no longer
depend upon its geographical iso-
lation for safety.
The Administration is con-
vinced, it was learned, that the
United States will not be able to
count in a future emergency on
otheE nations, as in the World
War, to hold off an attacker while
it leiSurely turns the nation from
peace-time pursuits to those of
war.
This is one of the startling les
sons learned from the recent Ger.
man Czecho crisis, when it
watched Great Britain and France
pay the price Of unpreparedness
by giving in completely to Ger
many's demands.
BIG GUNS PROGRAM
The greatest armament pro-
gram in the nations history will
be aimed at achieving these i'm
mediate aims:
l. Fully equipping an army of
48O, 1000 regulars, National Guard
and enlisted reserves with the
minimum requirements for taking
the field instantly.
2. Further strengthening of the
Navy, with construction of at least
two more battleships of a size and
fire power hitherto unknown to
world navieS.
3. Doubling the air corps to give
the United States an air fleet
equal to any in the world,
4. Preparing the nations kew in.
dustries to turn out guns, tanks.

force all employees to leave home
anywhere from 10 to 20 minutes
earlier in order to get to work

Although some of the depart
mentS where such changes do not
increase the traffic congestion to
any serious extent are planning
the change only during the win
ter months, being scheduled to re-
turn to the early shift May Is, the
combination of several of these
smaller departments will have the
same effect on traffic as the
change of a single large depart

make the change" Mr.. Van
Duzer said, Then there is moth
ing can do about it. OF course
they should know, from past ex-
perience, that such a change is
going to force them to spend
just that much more time in go
ing to and from work.
I'VE worked on the plan for a
long time before the staggered
shift effected to where traffic
conditions were greatly relieved.
Now, if they go right back to the
old hours, then our efforts have

office made no secret of its atti-

proposal, which has been ad-
vanced at Chancellor Hitler'S
direction through diplomatic
channels as a means Of ushering
an era of peace into western
Europe.
The foreign office made it
emphatically clear that the Ger
man suggestion will be ignored
unless Germany chooses to press
it formally. In that event, it will
be rejected outright.
Today it was plain that British
officials have not yet recovered
from the shock Of the German
proposal,

STUNS LONDON
Permit Germany Lead?
Never, Is Retort
BY KINGSBURY SMITH
Copyright 1880

LONDON, Oct. is Q.N.S0.
British public opinion rose in
wrathful defiance today against
Germany's suggestion that the
Reich should be conceded an air
force vastly superior to Great
Britain's.
Startled even by mere mention
of such an idea, British govern
ment officials and prominent pub
lie figures alike flatly rejected the
proposal.
Britain, they stressed, will never
even consider granting NaI Ger
many aerial supremacy whereby
this nations proud air arm would
be restricted in size to IS per cent
of the Reich'S air force.

Live bombs will be released by at
tacking planes tonight in the final
phase of the aerial maneuvers
that have been held here this
week. The anti-aircraft guns and
machine guns moved out of the
protective zone following maneu-
vers this morning to escape the
danger of the night attack. The
bombing planes will come in and
drop 100-pound bombs on the
dummy flying field that has been
the target during the attacks,
while observers will determine the
accuracy of the bombs.

Fear Naval Challenge

Some authorities fear Hitler
might carry out his implied threat
to denounce the Anglo German
naval agreement, which restricts
the German navy roughly to one
third of Britain's gigantic fleet,
unless he is granted supremacy
in the air.
The possibility that Der Fuehrer
might do this has caused grave
faces to apUear in whitehall,
where concern is felt lest Britain
faces new contest with the Reich.
Nevertheless. on all sides it was
asserted Britain would not grant
Germany aerial supremacy, but
would press forward with her re
armament campaign at Swifter
tempo than evel.

civic center for the Happy Valley
area. The nall is located on a tract
of land given in 1866 for community
