Pacific Tidal Wave
Created by Quake
BY the Associsted Press.

BY the Associated Press.
HONOLULU, Nov. 11-A severe
earthquake, apparently centered
yesterday in the Pacific Ocean be-
tween the Aleutian and Hawaiian
Islands, sent tremors through Alas
kan communities and a small tidal
wave against Hawaiian Island
shores. There were no reports of
damage.
The tidal wave, estimated by 1t.
Comdr j. H. Peters of the United
States Coast and Geodetic Survey to
have travelled at q speed of $50 miles
an hour, caused maximum rise and
fall of 8 inches in Honolulu Har-
bor's water level, starting at pm.
$3.50 pm, E. S. T), more than 4
hours after the first shock was re-
corded. The wave movement, i'm
perceptible to persons scanning the
harbor, reached peak about 4:30
pm. and then began subsiding.
Father Frederick w. Sohon of
Georgetown University was eagerly
awaiting today reports from other
stations to learn the extent of the
worst earthquake ever recorded on
his seismograph.
He explained that he can't deter
mine the effect of the quake, which
he said was $500 miles from WASH
ington, until he has compared read
ings. His own seismograph read
ings, he said, made him certain it
was q severe shock.

Gloucesters to the hotel.

former King Edward VIII abdicated
nearly two years ago, shook hands
and smiled with extreme warmth
and affection" spokesman said
The two Duchesses were very
gracious to each other" the spokes-
man reported, chatting together
while the brothers talked for per-
haps 20 minutes. Later the four
lunched together.

scribed as tired out" from her trip

afternoon. Plans for the evening de-
pended on how she felt later.

the royal family to visit Edward

lily were anxious to bring about a
reconciliation before King George
vi and Queen Elizabeth 70 to
Canada and the United States next
spring or summer.

Washington's army of volunteer
Community Chest workers continued
without an armistice today their

BERLIN, Nov. 1l-Propaganda
Minister Paul Joseph Goebbels today
warned Jews outside of Germany
that their behavior as well as that
of German Jews would determine
future treatment of Jews in the
Reich.
He said that new restrictive laws
and DEGREES were being prepared
and would be issued during the

Speaking for As m nutes to the
foreign press, Goebbels said yester-
days anti-Jewish outburst, which
vented itself in the burning and
dynamiting of synagogues and de-
struction of Jewish shops, was spon-
taneous.
Denies There Was Looting.
F"Whenever any unsavory elements
even made a move to seize goods
there were always reasonable people
about to prevent it," Goebbels said.
He insisted there was no looting.
Trustworthy eyewitnesses yester-
day said they had seen shops in the
Arcade between Friedrichstrasse and
Under Den Linden and in other
parts of the city looted.
Goebbels, referring to such ac-
counts, said he did not doubt the
good faith of the eyewitnesses, but
observed that in law courts it is often
established that three different
eyeWitnesses, all honorable charac-
tiers. report the same event differ
emily.
Goebbels argued that the very fact
that the demonstrations occurred in
different cities and took the same
form showed that they were not or
ganized, but represented the primi-
tive ractions of the common people.

Don't Muff the Chance

The Democrats of Connecticut are be-
ing subjected to a crosS-fire by Repuoll-
cans who think they scent a victory IN
the distant November days. The radio
booms each night as the speakers dissect
the party officers, their records, ther
promises, and what the future noloS 1or
the state under continued Democratic
rule. There are innovations IN the form
of inquiring reporters who tlnd OUT tnaC
the people of Connecticut don't want the
brand of government they've been get
ting in this state for the past Jew years:
They want the new and as yet unnamed
brand that the Republicans would pro-
vide. AS yet we haven't heard exactly
what recipe the Republicans plan to use
to bake their governmental cake OF To-
morrow.
In such situation it would be natural
for the Democrats to become eventually
Just a bit touched by the aspersions cast
and the illusions made. Anybody would
under similar circumstances. But being
good officials we trust to the level-headed-
ness of the Democrats to carry them
safely through this period without sub
jecting the state to an orgy OF campaign
Ing. Not that we expect our Democratic
candidates to let up in their efforts to be
returned to office We hope they'll con-
tinue to impress the public with their
worth. But there are ways and ways.
One certainly Is by tending to their
Jobs right now. The state has met with
disaster such as we have not witnessed
in this generation. It Is slowly struggling
to right itself from the effects OF ter
rYhle hurricane and destructive floods.
Work of rehabilitation Is well under way
with federal, state, and local officials
cooperating to speed them up and to
restore to destitute and dazed house
holders and others their sense of security.
Farmers saw their entire subsistence
wiped out. We could mention many more
instances, but most of us know what has
happened and what must be done.
On the shoulders of the Democratic
officials of Connecticut rests the burden
Of putting the state to rights and assur-
ing our residents that they will not spend
the remainder of their days In dire pow
erty. 1t is big task, but it is one that,
already off to good start, can be fin
ished with such a splendid disregard for
political results that when election day
rolls around the party will need not
greater endorsement than the cleaned
up communities, the disappearance OF
broken tree stumps, removal Of debris and
rubbish, mute testimony TO job done
well in an emergency.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-10-06

There are three good reasons why
farmers should plant trees on their farms,
particularly on their idle acres, says the
chief of the Illinois state forestry division.
Two Of these reasons are familiar. They
are the protection of watersheds and the
prevention of soil erosion. The third
reason is that trees are good business
proposition for the farmer, Illinois, says
this official, is a heavy consumer OF wood
products and possible market for more
wood raised locally. The argument holds
true for other states
There are other reasons, OF course, such
as the human need for the beauty, the
shade and the fruit of trees, the last
including nuts as well as fruits. Another
Is the provision for bird life, so essential
to man In his constant warfare against
insect pests.
City people, perhaps, have less incen-
tive to plant trees in their yards than
have farmers whose children may stay on
the home farm when they have grown
no and married. Yet even city dwellers
can find considerable satisfaction In
watching the growth of tree or two
they have set out themselves
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-10-06

Fred Blakeley an Australian explorer
and writer, returning from an expedition
into the almost unknown interior Of the
continent, announces remarkable dis
covery. He has found tribe of light
skinned aborgines, he says, hitherto
unknown, the women beautiful and the
men of magnificent physique. They
would make a sensation, he thinks, If
they appeared in Europe or America.
He suggests, rather naively, that those
natives are "the purest descendants OF
the earth's original inhabitants" and as
such he wants to preserve them in their
purity for scientists to study. He adds a
comment that should interest modern
civilization: II would keep this reserve
free from missionaries, prospectors and
mounted police"
People can and will argue about that.
And IL there is such tribe, white men
will doubtless go there and infect it with
their diseases and vices, and the natives,
lacking the resistance their visitors have
built up, will be weakened and corrupted,
as the South Sea islanders and many
another inferior race" has been.

James H. Macdonald unquestion-
ably was active In politics. He was
an important cog In the Republican

to question that he did build roads
for political as well as engineering
reasons. The highway department
needed, beyond any question, to be
taken out Of politics In 1911.
All that may be considered with
out dinming the fact that Mr.. Mac
