 Saturday he told William Quinn. local dog warden, for whom he had worked recently, that he was not feeling well. He was seen Monday near his place. It is believed he either died in bed and rolled out of bed after death or had fallen in attempting to get out of bed in an effort to summon help.
 It is reported he at one time lived in Massachusetts but whether or not this is true has not yet been verified.
 The funeral is to be handled by the Gilnack funeral home, Meadow street, Naugatuck.

ical Examiner Dr. William Hill of Naugatuck, Cummings had been dead 36 hours.
 pr. Hill said there is no suspicion attached to his death. It was not a suicide.
 MT. Cummings had lived in a hut on the Gallagher property and had worked as handy man for the past 10 years. Prior to that he had been employed as teamster for the Beacon Falls Rubber Shoe company. He came here 25 years ago but it is. not
 where he came from, not is it yet known whether he leaves any rel- ativeS. He has none locally.
 MT. Cummings had not been seen for some time and wonder over where he was led to the investiga- tion. Dr. Hill could not be reached this morning for a statement.
 MT. Cummings, who had lived | like hermit for some time, was found on the floor of his home, at- tired in his nightclothes. His bed was suspended from the roof of the hut in which he resided, and he ap- parently had rolled out of the bee

Submits WPA Pronosal

Warden John J. Sheridan today took to the New Haven WPA head quarters a proposal for extensive improvements on Aetna street. The street is to be widened to make it a 40 foot road. and four-foot side walks will be built on at least one side. A retaining wall is planned and a rip-rapp wall adjoining the property of the U. s. Rubber Pro- ducts, Inc, there will be constructed. A storm sewer has been built.
 The proposal calls for expendi- lures of $22,0o0 of which the town will furnish, in equipment and ma- terials, about 9 per cent. The war den took the proposal to New Ha- ven himself so that in case any all terations in it are required, he can bring them back and have this done immediately. It usually takes two months before proposals are ap- proved.

Defend What Against Whom?

Defend What Against Whom?
IN OTHER WORDS it's the same old baloney
l. that Baruch dishes out; never explaining what
it is that we are to defend or against whom must
we prepare to defend what.
Baruch talks about defensive war" only.
we should defend, we do not know what kind Of
defense equipment to buy. That we should have
the best burglary insurance is unquestionable.
But Baruch intmates that we, should also take
out burglary insurance for some householder liV'
ing in town 5000 miles away.
Are we to defend the Far East? Are we to
defend" the European democracieS? If so, then
we need one type of equipment. And a great
deal more Of it than we have at present. For
such equipment would have to be offensive" in
type.
On the other hand, are we to defend these
shores and perhaps 1,OO0.mile radius off shore?
If so, then we need different type of defense
equipment to meet different set of Specifica-
tions
All taxpayers are ready and willing to pay to
the last penny for national defense. But they
would like to know what it is upon which they
are being called to spend their money and that
the specifications are not some deceptive, bleary-
eyed theological baloney as propounded by Bar
ney Baruch.
Living. as do, in Philadelphia, see no reason
why should be called upon to pay the fire pro-
lection bill of householders in New Orleans.
But the trouble with the Baruch pronounce
ment is that it does not explain to me that it is
for fire protection Of Philadelphia that I am
asked to pay. or for fire protection Of New Or
leans as well. I am simply told that I'VE need
more fire protection" For what and for whom?

and bad coffee Of actually travelling.
Now you just consider the hunting trips that
we do not take for instance. We get a terrific
belt out Of overhauling all our old hunting tack
and shining up the guns and thinking Of ourSelf
plodding across the fields and through the woods
in the ripe air Of autumn behind the faithful
dogs.
We get all tired out putting on the hunting
clothes and noting that the moths are doing the
fabric no good and aiming the guns at imaginary
targets and muttering bang.bang.
Then in q state of complete fatigue, we go
down to Lindy's and wrestle herring and knock
off pot of goulaSh
If we miss the atmospheric touch Of the hunt
ing dogs sprawled in front of a roaring fireplace,
we can go home and make Yen Cheng, the Peke,
lie down by radiator.
Takes Powerful Imagination
XX1E do not see anything eccentric in our plan
w ming the trips we do not take to, say
California That is one of our favorite trips that
we do not take. We do not go to California at
least two or three times year and we get
lot Of pleasure out Of our mind excursions think
ing of the old pals like Mark Kelly and Blubber
Naughton we will run into and Of the enjoyment
we will get out Of the scenery and the climate
OF course it takes a powerful imagination to
work up the illusion that you are in California
without actually being there, but we do it in
room well-warmed to represent the California
climate and with a basket Of oranges on the
table.
We note in examining our hunting equipment
that we are little short of shotgun shells. We
must go out tomorrow and purchase some. A
fellow never can have too much ammunition for
the hunting trips he does not make.

FEC DECISIO N
ON AIR STATION
WILL HURT COP.
New Dealer Tom Berry
Gains by Move

The long arm Of the Federal
Communications Com m / SSH o n
reached into South Dakota poll
tics yesterday when it O.K.'d the
the transfer of a Yankton, s. D.
radio station to the control Of a
corporation owned largely by the
Des Moines RegiSter-Tribune OF
DeS Moines, Iowa; and inadvert-
emily the commission has put a
good-sized crimp into the chances
OF Chandler Gurney, Republican
candidate for the U. S. Senate to
succeed Senator Hitchcock.
Mr.. Gurney's opponent is a New
Dealer named Tom Berry who
won the Democratic nomination
from Senator Hitchcock. The
story that drifts to Washington
from South Dakota has it that
Gurney is a charming radio per-
sonality; a news commentator,
who is on the air daily, and whose
voice and presentation and daily
stuff has given him great prestige
in his State and was helping him
give his Democratic opponent a
hotter fight than the Democrats
liked to see.
OFF THE AIR
Politics had absolutely nothing
to do with the decision of the
Federal Communications Commits
sion to 0. K. the transfer of the
station to the Des Moines news
papers ownership; but those who
keep their eyes open here at
Washington know that delegations
Of South Dakota Democrats visited
Washington at times, went to the
White House and tried several
other avenues of approach.
It is said by politicians UP in
the Northwest that their visits
here were to hurry up the COM
MISSIONS approval of the transfer
Of the station and thus get Cur
ney off the air.
MANAGING DIRECTOR
And, politically, it is interest
ing to know that the managing
director Of the new corporation
which will run the new company
operating the Yankton station
is Luther Hill, brother of good
Democrat Senator Lister Hill, of
Alabama.
Also it is interesting to recall
that John CowleS and Gardner
Cowles, jr., sons of the head of
the Des Moines Register. Tribune
which is buying the Yankton sta
ton, were in washington a few
days ago. Both gentlemen were
luncheon guests at the White
House, but it is by no means GER
tain that they took up the matter
Of the radio station.
