Getting State Aid

New Britain authorities are hopeful that the State Tuberculosis Commissioner is sufficiently interested in it's plan to pro- vide a resting home or waiting station for patients seeking admittance to state tu- berculosis sanatoria that it will take such action to find funds to help the city out in such project. If so, then the commis- sion has changed considerably from the time when it was being urged to do the same thing right here in Waterbury. We doubt, too, if the commissions budget, in view of Gov. Wilbur L. Cross recent call for strict economies in the first quarter of the next fiscal year, would stand any ex- tra strain.
 The idea that motivates the New Brit ain officials is noble one. It's one that might be picked up in other communities, too, for the situation in Connecticut with regard to care of tubercular patients who haven't as yet been able to be admitted to the proper Sanatorium is a grave one. But if we review the situation here in Water bury we must review it all over the state. At this city's isolation hospital a wait ing station was maintained for several years through the cooperation of the city and the Waterbury nti-Tuberculosis As sociation. Funds gave out and the experi- ment was abandoned
 But we sought state aid down here to carry on this good work. It was sought, as we recall it, both from the Legislature and through the Tuberculosis Commis- sion. The latter body naturally encour- aged any such undertaking and en- deavored to do all in it's power to keep it going. But funds simply are not avail able for it when the state has been hard pressed to expand the sanatoria to the point where they could accommodate all needing such care. But we reported through these columns recently that when the present institutional building program is completed the tuberculosis sanatoria will be able to care for ad- ditional patients to the number now in- cluded on all waiting lists. This is the news that might obviate all worthwhile efforts to be of help in combating dread dis ease through local cooperation.

Martyr to Humanity

Another political martyr, humanitar- ian and pacifist, has just died in Germany. He is Carl von Ossietzky, who was awarded the Nobel peace prize in 1886. At that time he had already spent two years in Nazi concentration camp, where he became victim of tuberculosis. His death, attributed to inflammation of the brain, occurred in Berlin sanitorium.
 Ossietzky never enjoyed the $4O,OOO peace prize Most of it was embedded by crooked lawyer and the small balance he was unable to use. Whatever private funds he had seem to have been confiscated.
 So passes another prophet of peace, not without honor except in his own land and among his own people. He had served Germany in the World Wal. Afterward he boldly declared the iniquity of that war and the folly of all war. Naturally a regime that breaches the glory of warfare and lives by war preparation and the gospel of relentless force could not tolerate such a man. But there will be more of his kind, and eventually they will win.

Calm At Sea

Young fellows used to run away to sea, says Robert D. Franklin, head of the American Merchant Marine Library aS- sociation, "because they were social rebels, restless in their environment, eager to see the world" Today many of them take ship to avoid, or to seek change from, the vicissitudes of relief and unemployment ashore"
 There's something to their idea! The old days of cruelty on shipboard are pretty far behind. There is plenty of hard work nowadays, but there is also time to rest, to mediate, or to read And sailors do lot of reading. The Marine Library last year placed more than 250,000 books and 15O, 1000 magazines in 1,250 ships. The subjects ranged from technical works to the great literary classics, from the mere ly entertaining to the seriously educa- tional
 It is a pleasant picture Barring ac- cident or other emergency which would call for extra hard work, the men of the merchant marine enjoy library books, even as you and I. But there is differ ence in their favor. They are not bound to read the current best seller, and they are more or less withdrawn at sea from the "viscisSitudes of relief and unemploy- ment" the stay-at-homes can't dodge

Fighting A Wrong

Although the Senate did not include Senator Francis T. Maloney's amendment to the New Deal recovery bill in its final draft as it was swept through in convinc- ing fashion early last Saturday morning, 60 to 10, there is still much interest being evinced in the proposal he made. It was relative to communities seeking PWA funds with which they would construct electric power plants. The junior senator from Connecticut argued that private utilities should not be forced out of buSl- ness by government competition, but should be given chance to sell out their holdings.
 There were similar efforts to have PWA money going towards such construction slightly restrained. The only assurance now that there won't be wholesale at- tempts made to set up government power plants all over the nation in direct com- petition with existing privately-oWned . ones is the fact that there are still state laws to be hurdled as well as the myriad of obstacles that come before PWA grant is obtained locally Promise also has been given at Washington that there will be no wholesale disruption of the private power industry.
 One point that Senator Maloney ad- vanced in his arguments was that two wrongs seldom make right. He pointed cut that the demand for PWA funds to drought about by real or fancied griev- anceS on the part of city and town of- ficials against the electric utility ser vicing their community. Whether Shis be the rate question as brought lp here in Connecticut on so many occasions or some other objection, everything centered on the idea of forcing the company into line, if not by demands for lower rates then positively by direct competition.
 The Meriden legislator was quite right when he said that even if utilities had offended, the act of setting up rival uti!- ity took toll not merely of the private con- cern itself, but of the hundreds, perhaps thousands, of small investors who had life savings in it. To wipe out these savings by an arbitrary governmental procedure was wrong. There was another way and more human one, which his amendment proposed. Despite this plea it failed of passage. We wonder, though, if the na- tions towns and cities will besiege Wash ington with an avalanche of demands for PWA-built power plans

THE UNOBTRUSIvE MIR. SMITH
 (New York Herald-Tribune)

Who was John Thomas Smith? He was an important man, a man of large affairs and good deeds, and yet it is safe to say that most New York CTS never had heard of him until he became Papal Chamberlain on May 16. The two others who re- ceived this high honor-Mr. John S. Burke and MT. Alfred E. Smith, had long been well known to the public. But not John Thomas Smith. He never sought the spot light. He never was an exhibition ist. He lived in an apartment above a candy store in Greenwich street. He never married. In his lifetime he was, measured by what passes for greatness, all but totally obscure. He ate well. He travelled much. He was worth $3,000.000. But he re- mained the MT. Smith" to whom no one pays any attention. He died five days after having been invested with the robes and sword which go with the layman's office of Papal Chamberlain. He left no will. But an examination of his estate shows that he left no worthless securities. It is all good real estate or sound stocks and bonds-no "cats and dogs" And yet his friends dispute the charge that he was "an eccen- tric." It is no aspersion. He was an eccentric. In his own way he en- riched his city, and he was a credit to his faith. MT. Smith of Green wich Street" was not the whole story.

 No More
 It is unlikely that the Third Circuit Court will again be sub- jected to the cufflng it has just undergone. In the last few weeks three of its five members have resigned.
 They were Joseph Burlington, 8 years old, feeble and hard of hearing, a federal judge since 1892, the longest in U. s. history; J. Whitaker Thompson, 77, a fed eral judge since 1912; also Victor B. Woolley, the "baby" of the trio, being only 71. Appointed by Will son in 1914, Woolley has been in poor health for several years and absent from his office for long periods.
 Still remaining on the court is another veteran, J. Warren Davis, Fl years old. appointed in 1920. The fifth member is Judge John Riggs, Jr., 49, named last year by President Roosevelt under express authority by Congress to increase the size of the court in order to expedite its work, which was 253 undisposed cases in arrears, of which 101 cases had been argued but without decisions.
 Deaf Justice
 Many stories are related about the eccentricities of the retired 3rd Circuit jurists. One is about a government lawyer who was argu- ing case involving the Wagner Labor Disputes Act. Justice Buff ington interrupted to inquire on what clause in the Constitution the law was based.
 Section S." replied the attor- ney, (which gives Congress the power to regulate commerce with foreign nations, between the states and with Indian tribes"
 "1ndians?" asked Burlington; "are there any Indians involved in this case?"

Henry Ford sticks to his previous state ment that i've are going to have the greatest era of prosperity and happiness we have ever known" How come? Tt will come through back-to-the-land movement" Mr. Ford also reiterated a previous statement criticizing financial interests that would like to bring about prosperity by means of another war Back to-the-land certainly sounds the better of the two, and the land is here to work and cultivate, so why not work it and cultivate it! At the same time others are stating that the government does not want recovery, but wants reform. How about little of both?

Selected Poem
SIMPLE ADDITION

(Norah Smaridge in the New York Sum- With condescending smiles men look Upon a woman's pocketbook And wag reproving heads about The junk she will not move without. For man, you cannot help but see, Is an uncluttered entity
 Who merely carries with him, daily, Sundry small change that jingles gayly, Some dollar bills, keys on ring, A kind of patent-lighter thing, A wallet with important papers, Tickets for sweepstakes, games and capers, And. anchored to his inner pocket, A minor stationery stock. It
 Comprises pens in nice variety And pencils sharpened to satiety Snaps of his brood, in artless patches, And cigarettes and books of matches, meek white hanky for his nose And one of noble silk, that shows From his breast pocket. It's terrific. Some memos scrawled in hieroglyphic, Hs watch, his gum, his college key, His tried and trusted remedy For all digestive ills there are, Nail clippers, license for the car Which, when you come to think of 1t, Makes any woman blink bit!

Quinnibiac- 300 Years New Haven Tercentenary Commands Attention Settlement Today Is Quite Different
 From That Planned By
 Founders
NEW YORK TIMES

be said for tercentenaries, such as New Haven has been celebrating this week. A tercentenary makes us see the long procession of years step- ping on each others toes in their haste to be done and get on. It brandishes the immense fact of change in our faces and makes us wonder how much the past still has influence over the present.
 It is not to be supposed that the Rev. John Davenport would recog- nize in New Haven the theocratic colony he helped to found. Long ago the wave of liberalism which he feared washed down from the north, taking over the little white churches as they thrust new spires upward. Connecticut retains its share of God fearing people, but each is free to fear Him in his own way and not after fashion dictated by the Rev. Davenport. But MT. Theophilus Ea- ton and the other merchants who came with the Rev. Davenport would find a good deal of old-fashioned thrift still prevailing and good deal of buying and selling in ways they would soon come to understand. Be- ing shrewd business men, they might think the State had paid a mite too much for some of the land along the new Merritt Parkway. In most in- stances the integrity as well as the acumen of the native-born Connec- ticuter would please them.
 What would surprise them most, no doubt, would be the length to which the Sabbath days journey has been extended, the quantities of invaders from the New Netherlands who spill out over Southwestern Connecticut every Summer week. end, and the fact that what was considered in 1638 a wilderness to be conquered is regarded in 1888 as scenery to be preserved. The very rocks of the New Haven region, and indeed of all Connecticut, are among its chief assets, and as for the rills, what Connecticuter does not know and love them and pray that they shall be kept unspoiled?
 The settlement originally called Quinnipiac did not turn out as plan- ned. Who shall say whether 1t is better or worse than 1t was planned to be? The old churches on the green, some of the buildings of Yale College, affirm the dignity of the past. The factories and the Post Road declare the immense, though hampered, energy of the present. Let us come back in another three cen- turtles and see how 1t has all turned out.

In New York
BY GEORGE ROSS

New York, June 6.-The arrival of Revashanker Pancholi of Bombay, India, at the Waldorf Astoria the other day led to more turmoil and difficulty than the unruffled Oscar bargained for.
 Oscar, the renowned boniface of that hotel, had prepared for the coming of moneyed titan who would demand the best of every thing. A theater magnate of that far-flung part of the British En- pire, Ravashanker Pancholi controls most of the entertainment world throughout that country and his junket to Manhattan is 8 safari to explore the realm of teleyision.
 So Oscar got the rooms ready, elegant ones, too, with settees and lounge chairs enough for quite a company, if the good Ravashanker should have any visitors. And Os- car was poised to outdo himself in matters of a perfect cuisine.
 Then the guest from India phoned down to the bell captain. Due to his Parsee faith, he ex- plained, he would have no use for the furniture or the extreme ly comfortable bed; he would sleep on the rug on the floor as has been his religious custom all his life, Furthermore, he would partake of no meats during his sojourn here, just as he adheres to a certain vegetarian diet in his native coun- try. And, furthermore, he would not have much use for the tele- phone, since he finds 1t difficult for conversation. But the suite was extremely comfortable and he was well satisfied with his quarters.

Sturdy Story
 of Immigrant
BY BRUCE CAPTION

BY BRUCE CATION
 The story Of America is shot through with the sweat and the dreams and the hopes of the immi- grant. Here, in this melting pot, millions have found the way of a new courage and 8 new life. And in turn they have given form to Amer ica.
 Peter Grimsen was one of these. Peter hailed from Denmark to carve new way of living from the stub- born Nebraska sod. He bought first little land, then more, improved it., lived to ride high through the arti- ficial prosperity of the boom years. And then came Peter Grimsen's de- feat in the face of crashing markets and high fixed interest. In a few cataclySmic years he saw the her. itage he had visioned for his chil- dren swept almost entirely away.
 It is a story with an epic note and Sophus Keith Winther tells 1t faithfully in most penetrating nov el of the American middle west, This Passion Never Dies" (Macmil- Ian: ($2.50).
 MT. Winther's story is the third of trilogy tracing Peter Grimsens fight for foothold in America and it is the most bitter, understandably. But there Is this ultimate victory for Peter Grimsen-his children carry on in their individual niches in the American way. True, they do not cling to the farm, but their struggle for 8 place becomes a noble sort of thing.
 The Grimsens, of course, are to be found today across the nation. That is one of the things that makes MT. Winther's story so real, so timely. His characters are finely delineated. The story is . genuine contribution | fn n, ovinopn
