RING BRUISERS
TO SHOW AGAIN
FRIDAY NIGHT
Four-Bout Wrestling Card
Slated for Mat Go
at Elks' Hall

The pretzel fraternity goes to the
mat again Friday night in the Elks'
Hall with four bouts of "rasslin'."
Promoter Woody Woodring has
been keeping pealed eye on ID
muscle bending artists at the Jul
neau Athletic Club gymnasium and
out of the welter of toe holds and
body scissors has come a card of
four performers who Woodring rates
as three-star matmen.
Main event will be Bill Walthers
at 1913 pounds and Walter CASTOR,
172 pounds. Walthers, of Juneau,
and Castor, of Old Mexico, fought
to a draw in December, getting a
fall apiece in a 45 minute bout.
The semi-final will show Doc
Webb, 1877 pounds, against Bill Don
ovan, 1875 pounds. Webb Doity-
Doity Webb is local talent. Dono-
van is a protege of the late Farmer
Burns and according to reports,
knows the ring science well.
Preliminary finds Red Davis, IT'S
pounds, fighting with Gordon Mu-
ma, 1865 Red is a cowpuncher from
Texas and Muma halls from Hood
River, oregon Davis has the edge
in weight, but he will not get the
crowd behind him that Muma will,
for Muma, who refereed the last
card here, made real hit
with the crowd.
The groan specialists got too rough
and insisted on dragging Referee
Muma into the fight-which Muma
rather vigorously entered The crowd
liked it. The crowd will enjoy see
ing Muma actually in the contest.

CLAUSE LEGAL,
COURT DECIDES

ALBANY, N. Y. Jan. 49, - New
York'S Court of Appeals today up
held the legality of the CLOSED
shop" clause in an agreement be-
tween a labor union and employ
ers.
The Court refused to uphold the
contentious of six non-union New
York City Rapid Transit workers
that the agreement between the
Transport Workers Union of Amer
lea and the New York Rapid Transit
Corporation and other companies
was "monopolistic." In their COM
plant the workers charged that the
agreement would not permit en-
ployment of persons not affiliated
with the union.

Average score. Did not bowl.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-07-02
Put Up Or {.

The anticipated statement of Attorney General Homer s. Cummings on the sta tus of Senator Augustine Lonergan in the New Deal scheme of things failed to materialize. Mr. Cummings cOntented himself with saying that he wasn't candidate and didn't intend to be one; he likes his presnt job and evidently hopes to retain it for the remainder of the Roosevelt administration. As to his choice for the senatorial nomination, well, he just isn't making one right now
 All of which is enough for the average Democrat of Connecticut to exclaim that it's high time there was any doubt ln the party about the senatorial nomination. It should 20 where it is deserved. There is no need to replace Senator Lonergan He has performed his duties at Washington in such fashion that he deserves to be returned there. He has not deserted the Democratic party nor has he proved traitor to the New Deal or President Roosevelt. He may have voted against the administration on occasions, but that's his right and privilege and were it to be denied him, we would compel every member of Congress to be rubber-stamp for blind political purposes
 We are not surprised that MT. Cum- mings failed to propose candidate to oppose Senator Lonergan. It would have been the height of folly for him to have done so. It would have been termed ad ministration interference and might have met with the same sort of treatment that has so far greeted all New Deal efforts to chastize those whom it considers to have stepped beyond party lines. Further than that any proclamation by the At torney-General would have probably cemented good many differences in this state existing over the senatorship.
 We doubt very much if Washington is going to interfere in the Connecticut sen- atorial fight. We make this statement in view of the fact that Senator Lonergan is not an avowed enemy of the New Deal and is good Democratic legislator to be returned to office. Dispute over his right to renomination might go long ways towards upsetting the entire Democratic ticket this fall.
 We don't question the right of any Democrat to oppose Senator Lonergan for the nomination. But we do think that the situation today demands his renom- 1nation. Time, we feel sure, is going to show that in this opinion we are sup ported by countless others throughout Connecticut.

Olympic Question Mark

Should we participate in the next Olympiad, as planned? The theory that the Olympic Games promote interna- tional good feeling was pretty well ex- ploded in Germany in 1936 It is true that the German government put it's best foot forward, so that many Olympic spec tators came away with general impress sion of beautiful and orderly country. They saw no concentration camps and no untoward racial incidents on the public streets.
 It is equally true that good sportsman ship was not part of the German well come to all foreign athletes. Jewish com petitors were barred, and Hitler, who greeted and congratulated all white vic- tors, refused to greet the colored winners on the American team.
 When the great festival of sport was over, international feeling was just where it had been before. The Nazis continue to despiSe the weaking democracies. The democracies continue to distrust and actively dislike the Nazi government. The confusion of the civil war in Spain, with it's curious lineup of foreign interests taking part in the conflict, was not checked by the Olympic Games. The terrible war in China has developed since then, and in the face of Japan's preparations for the 1940 Games.
 There is much to be said for the view of the New York Times, expressed in a recent serious editorial, that there are more reasons for staying out of the Toklo Olympaid than for going in.

The weekend exodus has started In fact, it started yesterday. A long week. end furnished opportunity to do a little more than rush away Saturday, returning Sunday night. It is reported that train travel is very heavy, and bus centers and air lines will have capacity reservations Special campers trains are also carrying boys and girls to New York state, New Hampshire, Maine and Canada Those who have not planned trips will make the most of practically three days vacation with picnics, dining out and whatnot. Thus busy holiday weekend gets under way and traffic cops at our local busy corners endeavor to keep their tempers in keeping the hectic traffic moving in the right direction.

Farm Revolution

The story is told of gentleman-farmer primarily stock broker - who at a dinner party in happier days announced to his guests that he was about to serve them the most expensive beverage in the world. Then the servants poured into crystal goblets pitchers of milk from his private dairy farm. The guests saw the point. He said it cost him $10 glass. They tell of New York business man, too, with farm in Vermont, who would ask his guests whether they preferred milk or champagne, adding that they cost him the same.
 That sort of thing is less common than it used to be. The depression and reces- sion have wiped out so many gentlemen's farms that farm products are getting down to market prices, while elaborate stables and orchards are turned into philanthropic institutions. And the city farmers nowadays are mostly small busi- ness men, white collar workers and fac- tory employees who commute in flvvers and till an acre or two for family provisions.

Costs of Grand Jury Probes to Date, Estimated Future Expenses Show Why Entire State

bills so far incurred in the investi- gation total $40,577. Furthermore, it is suggested that before the case IS concluded the expense may run up to $100.000.
 The grand jury's findings indicat- ed that individuals from 8 number of communities in the state fled" on the waste and corruption alleged to have existed in Waterbury. The figures 50 far disclosed, represent mig only one and perhaps the small Ter portion of the Investigating ex- perse, show how citizens in all the communities must stand the bill for the uncovering of the situation and the proper punishment of the guilty, how the situation feeds on all the state.
 At the time state accounts are being charged $40,000 (and perhaps $100 ,000) for due legal procedure as to Waterbury mismanagement, and $l3,000 for similar procedure in Fairfield County, to say nothing of the many times greater sum lost there in land purchase transactions, state fiscal conditions are such as to compel curtailment of numerous activities and dismissal of some en- ployes. Certainly the irony of that coincidence will not be missed.
 Honest, efficient management everywhere is everybodys business. The peoples concern does not end at their city limits, nor for that matter of their state boundaries. Those who did not realize 1t before, ought to now. And those who did, must appreciate it more strongly.

Selected Poem
SOLICITUDE

Billy B. Cooper in the New York Times) This year when redbud boomed, he planned to walk Along the country ways, to sec again The clustered thicket of his boyhood days. But Spring was backward, and the chill rains fell Running in riverlets down the rural lanes Young Jim and Cora would not let him go Out in such weather, not at his ripe age He'd catch his death of cold, they prophesied; They sought to appease him with dozen sprigs or cultured redbud from neighbors lawn. He sat beside the hearth and heard the drip Drip, drip of rain upon the roof while gusts or wind tapped bleakly on the window pane. Embraced with furnace heat and easy chair And burdensome soicitude, he thought Back to the time he'd worked all day in rain Flowing and planting in the early Spring Taking his coat, he opened wide the door, But Coras anxious voice defeated him. "Grandfather!" |. He turned back into the room And planned anew for days when rosebriars bloomi
