If Joan Crawford decided that she
wanted to fly to Mars she'd prob
ably succeed. Time after time she
has set her heart on doing thing,
and then worked determinedly until
she accomplished it. Now it's sing
Ing that keeps her busy when she
is not acting before the screen; she
wants to sing in opera, SO probably
she will. Never has anyone had
more determination than that girl
possesses! She went to New York
recently, and her admirers prompt
ly gathered about the carriage en-
trance of her hotel. They proved,
when she last visited New York,
that they were as determined as
she. Morning, noon and night some
of them were there, and she, unlike
some movie stars, admitted that she
was delighted. Furthermore, she let
them know it.

ter Scott which someone had picked
up in port. Everyone was COM
fortably listening when Nolan
reached the passage, "Breathes
there a man with soul so dead, who
never to himself hath said, This is
my own, my native land" Nolan
threw the book into the sea and
rushed to his stateroom. He did
not reappear for two months.
Acts as Interpreter.
During the long years of inactivi-
ty, Nolan mapped out daily rou-
tine for himself He followed a pro-
gram of regular study and became
proficient in many subjects, includ-
ing foreign languages. One day the
American ship came across slave
ship that had mutinied and was
drifting. The slaves were freed of
their chains, but they could not
talk with the Americans to COM
municate their desires. Nolan was
asked to interpret. The slaves spoke
dialect of Portuguese and they
went wild with JOY when they heard
ineligible words. When the Ameri-
can officer stated that he would take
them to specific point of land and
leave them, they set up a wall No.
No. Take us home! And they began
to cry out the names of the mem
bers of their families that they
wanted to see. Nolan was inter-
preting each side to the other. His
voice became huskier and huskier.
In desperation to end the painful
scene, the American officer cried
out, "All right, tell them that will
take them home!"
Nolan was more than 70 years
old when he died. One night he
sent for one of his friends to come
to his stateroom. When the friend
entered the stateroom and looked
around, he saw what appeared to be
a shrine to America. The American
eagle had been drawn on the cell
ing. On the wall was picture of
Washington, draped in an American
flag. On the foot of the bed was
a map of America. All of which
Nolan had drawn from memory.

HALE'S VARIED CAREER

Edward Everett Hale, whose
life was from 1922 to 1909. was
one of the most voluminOus writ
ers of America; his works would
fill ten large volumes. Although
he used every type of writing
except poetry. his permanent
reputation rests on the two short
stories, my Double and How He
Undid Me-" and THE Man With

Hale followed many kinds of
work; he was a preacher, a writ
err, lecturer, and an active par
ticipant in public affairs. Toward
the end of his life, he was chap

Reorganization Ahead

Indications are plentiful this week that conditions in the Democratic party of Waterbury are slowly but surely reaching the point where complete harmony is to be restored. That is a goal towards which all Democrats, whatever faction they may be aligned with, should work. Now is the time when the party can either be kept in control of the situation here in Waterbury or else it can be allowed to drift off into political oblivion from which there is no return.
 It must be admitted by all Democrats that change is due in administration of what is termed the working organiza- tion of the party. It is not up to us to say who shall assume control; that's up to the individual members of the party. But we would be dere1ict in our duty to the Democratic party if we did not advise at this time reorganization that takes into account not only the past of the party but its future.
 Two movements, perhaps more, are underway in the city to bring about har- mony within the ranks. With common end it is impossible for any objective to be missed by these groups, if all are really sincere in their efforts. We are not speaking for any particular group, but to all groups we address plea for com plete sincerity in an attempt at reorgan- ization of the Democratic party. An hon. est difference of opinion can always be settled; but when hatchets are unsheathed and blood is the cry, the result is far from satisfactory.
 Democrats need only to hew to one line this fall to continue to remain supreme. The good of the party means the good of the city.

A Ship to Sail On

The British have just launched new Mauretania amid the cheers of nearly 100000 enthusiastic watchers. It is a namesake, of course, of the earlier Maure- tania, recently retired and broken up, which was long England's most popular ship in the United States. She was the greatest record holder from 1907 to 1929, when the liner Bremen crowded her out first place.
 -ne new Mauretania is a 34,000-ton ship, designed especially to cater to the lower-priced transatlantic trade. She is the largest ever built in England - both the Queen Mary and the Queen Elizabeth were built in Scotland She will be able to carry 1,250 passengers in three classes, cabin, tourist and third. In acordance with the current trend in ships, accom- modations for the third-class passengers will be spacious with motion picture theater and all the other usual public spaces
 The official staff has not yet been announced to the public, but it is said that her master will be an experienced seagoing gentleman named Guy Dolphin The new Mauretania is expected to be faster than her sister ships but will not compete with the contenders for cross- ing records. The nations are wise to build such ships, rather than continue indefinitely the race for bigger and speedier vessels in the luxury liner class.

Fairer Income Tax

The public knows what it wants with respect to the income tax The latest Gallup poll on this subject dealt specif- ically with three proposals now being studied by the Treasury The majority of people do not want general broaden ing of the income tax through lowering exemptions They oppose payment of any income tax for married men earn ing less than $2,50O year and for single persons earning less than $1, 1000 a year.
 On the other hand, they are more than willing to have the income tax extended to take in people who derive their income from hitherto tax-free federal, state and municipal securities. And they favor re- quiring employees of state and local gov- ernments to pay the federal income tax.
 The income tax is, in theory, one of the faireSt taxes, although it has not been so in practice. There have been too many exemptions and too many loopholes for escaping payment. It should not be an impossible task for Congress to correct the situation.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-08-03
Goody! Goody!

It's almost too good to be true, but, nevertheless, an effort will be made next wear, when the General Assembly con- venes, to give the 169 towns in the state real break This will be done by present. ing bills to have certain expenses now footed by the town taken over by the state. It will also be accomplished by allowing the various towns to retain fines imposed for violation of motor vehicle laws. Such monies now are turned over to the state and are used for highway purposes, all of which are exemplary, but never to our way of thinking quite fair.
 We are particularly concerned with this effort on the part of the Connecticut Legis- 1ative Council which is to present the pro- posed reforms. For number of years we have spoken against the present setup ot motor law fines. Where arrests are made for violations of laws that occur on city streets, we always maintained that the city was entitled to whatever fine might be imposed. It is only in recent years that maintenance of any city streets has been taken over by the state, through the highway department, and this after lengthy objections.
 Municipalities are compelled to main- tain almost as elaborate system of high ways as the state. Money for construc- don and upkeep, including such services as watering, oiling, sanding, and clean ing comes from property taxes with a small contribution realized in the prop erty taxes on automobiles. Automobile taxes go to the state. We realize that without them the state couldn't build great highways and maintain them. But we do think that some recompense should go to the local community. If it is to be the motor vehicle law violation fine, all well and good. Let's have it.
 There are other savings, too, for towns if the Legislative Councils program in toto is adopted. Town paupers would be- come virtual state wards; the widows aid bill would be state-maintained; children under the Bureau of Child Welfare guardianship would be completely sup ported by the state All such items mean a saving of $3,0OO,000 annually to the towns, which in turn can be translated into lower tax rates.

In New York
BY GEORGE ROSS

New York,-Notes on recent ex- cursion to Hollywood:
 Kneib's Kanine Kitchen on Pico Boulevard-a restaurant for dogs and mainly for the poodles of the exclusive star colony.
 Sid Grauman's roller skating rink on the site of the old Vita phone Studios, patronized by flickerville's younger set and a nightly rendezvous now for the Crime School" kids.
 The Bowling Club on Vine Street which is popular haunt for the picture folk. Bowling is regarded as an equal with tennis hereabouts as competitive sport
 Simone Simon, flaxen haired and sunkist, swinging mean racquet at the Beverly Hills Club (Vines 6, Perry, proprietors) and Sid Sil- vers, the erstwhile stooge and now an ace .MGM scriptist, incoming nearby about his anxiety to escape to New York.
 The Goose Girl at the Hollywood Rack Track, lackadaisically rowing after her cackling wards in the la- goon.
 The Hamburgers, Nutburgers, Meatburgers, Drive-Ins, Car-Cafes etc.
 Jack Warner and Harold Lloyd's adjoining 9-hole golf courses, which would make perfect l8-hole course if their respective owners ever got together.
 The murderous tariffs on the taxi meters-and we were always led to believe that the most bankrupting cab rides were those in Paris. Funniest Entertainer The deadliest drinks in Hollywood "zoombies," served at superb neo- Oriental restaurant, Don the Beach, comber's
 Hollywood & Vine, the Times Square of the film belt, but not half as lively or colorful as the Man. hattan crossroads.
 Hollywood night life's funniest entertainer. the midget-sized Jerry Bergen who is now clowning at Phi Selznich's and who used to serve as foil for the zany Jack White at the old, lamented "Ha-Ha" Club in the New York Fifties. Zeppo Marx, the missing fourth of the Freres Marx, frolicking or the Beverly Hills Tennis Courts.

An ex. pensive present it is, too.

Two facts were brought to our attention by recent news item. One was that the famous flagship of Commodore O. H. Perry on whose deck he wrote the lines, we have met the enemy and they are ours," is still in existence. Its existence, however, is somewhat precarious. So much so is it that Pennsylvania authori- ties recently refused to allow the boat, the Niagara" to be lowed from port to port on Lake Erie in commemoration of Perry's victory over the English 125 years ago. Ohio wanted to have the boat put in commission and given another tri- umphal tour of Lake Erie as she enjoyed in 1913, the centennial of the battle, but the boat, it seems is now resting in water contingent to Pennsylvania territory so there's nothing doing. The two facts thus brought home to us are that the vessel is still present; secondly, that Pennsyl- vania has frontage on Lake Erie. Our geography is certainly going back on us.

study British and Swedish labor laws. Confidential word is that certain industrial members of the commission have been seeing the wrong people" and unionites are preparing to kick up 8 rumpus about the whole affair.
 Miss Perkins conferred with the Commission in London, but she is gushy over what she learned.
 "What do you think will be the result of the commissions study?" a newsman asked.
 "A report" was Madame Sec retary's bland reply.
 Well, won't that be 8 surprise! Of course you wouldn't by any chance know what will be in this report"
 "No."
 "Do you know by any chance" inquired another newsman, 'that British labor leaders told mem- bers of the Commission that there had never been any labor spies in England until American owned firms introduced them there?"
 "Yes," admitted Miss Perkins. "I heard that they had received such information"
 And did you hear that they also gave the names of these firms?"
 "No, I didn't" snapped Miss Perkins, land even if l had, I wouldn't tell you"
 German Censorship
 One of the odd facts about the dictatorships of Europe is that Germany and Italy are now get ting news coverage about France from the United States.
 German and Italian newspapers gave only meagre coverage to the recent visit to Paris of King George and Queen Elizabeth. Rea- son was that they wanted to minimize the British -Frenche en- tente and rivalry with Hitler's visit to Rome.
 But the National Broadcast ing company, which devotes four and a half hours daily to foreign language broadcasts, sent this story by short wave in both Ger man and Italian.
 They gave news elements and editorial comments from leading U. s. dailies.
 In Germany there is nothing to prevent the owner of a short wave radio from hearing a foreign news broadcast. He can listen in his home, with none present be- yond his own family, but is dis allowed by law from inviting friends to listen.
 Following this broadcast, N. B. c. received many letters from the other side, expressing thanks for the news. In preparing their programs, N. B. c. collaborates with the State Department.

And being nautically inclined right at the moment how about inclining our at- tention towards Rhode Island. Governor Robert E.

Northeastern United States isn't getting sufficient naval protection, says Governor Quinn. There ought to be more concentration of sea forces in North Atlantic coastal waters and Narragan- sett Bay looms as strategic site The governor is making efforts to have it the center of a naval defense area so that ample protection would be provided in case of attack.
