Alienism

According to statement made by Sen- ator Nye of North Dakota, the Senate has been seriously considering the problem of organized groups in America flying the flags and wearing the uniforms of for eign countries" He might have added drilling in the fashion of foreign armies" to make the picture complete, but it was probably unnecessary. There can hardly be any question as to the Identification of the groups referred to.
 It is, as the senator observes, "a deli cate matter to handle" but he and many other lawmakers at Washington, and millions of people throughout the coun- try, obviously think something should be done about it. The best way to solve the problem, of course, would be for the of- lending residents, whether citizens or aliens, to see themselves as others see them and stop the offensive practices.

Governor Cross, whose wise and sane statements are appreciated pretty gen. orally, maintains that Connecticut is still "the land of steady habits" And by and large we guess, as they say in these parts, this is so. Following the various pro- cedures in one state and another and in the nation at large the same weaknesses and faults are noted It is safe to say there will never be Utopia in this world. Those that criticize most are apt to rate criticism themselves in the long run, and Connecticut is no exception, nor it's cities in functioning in the generally accepted fashion which is, no matter how you slice it, a political fashion.

Conquering Yellow Fever

For some time after discovery of the cause and the method of transmission of yellow fever, the only successful pre- ventive work consisted of avoiding the bite of the disease-carrying mos, ito. Conditions favoring the disease were con- trolled as far as possible. Many of the breeding places of the mosquito re destroyed. During an epidemic care was taken to prevent yellow fever patients from being bitten. Houses and rooms of victims were thoroughly disinfected and all mosquitoes found there killed. People in infected areas were taught to avoid mosquito bites, indoors or outdoors. A strict quarantine was enforced against ships from ports where yellow fever existed
 All these measures were useful and accomplished remarkable results. Yet without successful preventive inoculation and serum treatment the war was not won. Now, Dr. Raymond B. Fosdick, pres ident of the Rockefeller Foundation, reports the development of new vaccine that has proved effective in South America. The vaccination of more than $500 people in Brazil and 2,000 in Colom- bia "gives every indication that efficient protection of populations exposed to jungle yellow fever is in sight" he says.
 The vaccination of persons previously inoculated with the living virus have seemed to promise great success, too. Over 99 per cent of the vaccinated per- sons showed full or partial immunity. Here is conquest worthy of human intelligence.

A Thought for Today
Watch For Violations

The fact that Judge John F. McGrath found the city's laws are at fault where they apply to the distribution Of handblllS and pamphlets is based primarily on Supreme Court ruling handed down earlier this week. It extends the privilege of freedom of the press to this field ot activity. Supporters have long con- tended that there was restraint ot these liberties when local authorities shack!ed them in street distribution of handbllls and the like. Now it would seem as Ii they are coming into their day. But there's catch in the case.
 While the law and the constitution may protect the individual from prosecution for distribution of handbillS, it does not at the same time confer such widespread rights as are guaranteed citizens under the bill of rights. And in this line Of reasoning may we point out that from now on perhaps it will be even more dlffl- cult for groups, such as Jehovah's Wit nesses, religious sect, to carry on their propaganda work throughout this state and others in which they choose to oper- ate. No one, least of all Catholics, objects to a man practicing the religion he chooses. But Catholics certainly cannot be expected to stand by idly while they and their religious representatives are subjected to the attacks that are cuS- tomary under the Judge Rutherford style of attack.
 Persecution, whether it be physical or mental, has long been the lot of var ious religious and racial groups in this world of ours. Here in the United States we are gradually working to the fuller life In which a mans religious views, as well as his political, are inalienable rights. If one religious group cannot exist without subjecting another to what amounts to scurrilouS attacks, then there is bound to be fight. Catholics do not seek such fight, but they certainly will not and are not walking away from it. We make this statement with the knowledge, or perhaps apprehension, that the interpre- tation of the law to allow distribution of handbills is bound to be interpreted as an excuse for continuation of the abuses, which have caused the enactment of local statutes banning such distribution.

There Is a Way Out

A week or so ago States Attorney Will liam H. Blodgett of Winsted remarked on our judicial system in Connecticut where by fines imposed in city, town, and borough courts go to the state treasury and not to those in the communities where they are imposed. Mr. Blodgett, who is former State Tax Commissioner, thinks that there should be some recom- pense for the town or cities and that they should share in fines, rather than have the money go to the state. The Hartford if this idea was practiced the temptation would be for local justices to levy more fines and remit few of them.
 That's true, no doubt, although it does not speak well for the minor court judi ciary of Connecticut when it is admitted that it is open to such tactics as might not be exactly disinterested and inpar- tial In support of it's claim the Times points to the motor prosecution racket" which is rapped so severely by the press of the state every now and then. Says the Times, Bad enough should not be made worse. -. The fines in automobile cases should go to the State whose public main- tains the highways. Let the fines which have no such implication go to the local treasury. !"
 Would that mean that fines for mo- toristS who might be arrested on city streets and not state highways should also be paid into the state as they are now? If so, then we still maintain, as we have right along, that it is time we had some sort of a working agreement so that cities and towns may get some share in the millions paid by motorists for wearing out not merely million-dollar highways, but also thousand-dollar

way level bridges will be separated by four and half feet from para pets.
 Sixth-Restudy of converging ap- breaches to bridges with view to lengthening the angle of converg- ence in all bridges yet to be built, land in the existing bridges where ever feasible"
 Seventh-Judging from Commis- sioner Bennett's report, greater at- tention will be paid to the estab- lishment of adequate signs, pave ment marking. tree and shrub planting to kill headlight glare, proper policing, adequate lighting, control of speed.
 Eighth-Grand jury investigation into alleged Parkway land frauds must be considered very closely re- lated to the construction contro- versy.
 Surely, on the basis of what has happened since Commissioner Hur- ley made his report to the Cover nor, much has been done to correct matters which needed it.
 MT. Bennett, the Governors ex- pert, did not give an opinion as to whether longer span bridges on overhead bridges, recommended by MT. Hurley, would produce greater safety.
 Chief danger, if any, will be at night. AS traffic lanes converge, headlights of approaching cars will throw their beams directly at each other. That is a great danger of night driving. Lengthening the angle Of conveyance may be help ful, although it might appear that the lights of approaching cars would be thrown toward each other over longer distance.
 It is a highly important point. Nearly two-thirds of all motor ve- hicle fatalities occur at night and the percentage is accelerating tre- mendously. In six years, from 1880 to 1886, night fatalities increased 28 per cent, daytime killings only II per cent. This is important enough that the question of longer overhead bridges, is worth atten- tion it did not receive in the Ben nett report.
 Aside from that it is apparent that the net result of the contro- versy has been to produce much improvement.

breakfast bread, and the White House has a standing order with Taylor's bakery in Washington for the daily delivery of twisted buns. But when the President left the other day, someone for got to cancel the order, and there were Danish buns to spare.
 They are large, flat buns made of long strips of Danish pastry wound and twisted into circular shape and sprinkled with cina- mmon and sugar. Each bun is about four inches across. Price, 40 cents a dozen.
 Another delicacy which the President orders constantly is nut butter crisp. This is a flat candy made by coating a brittle base with chocolate and sprinkling chopped nuts on top and bottom. It is a very rich candy and he buys it for 65 cents 8 pound.
 NOTE-Maker Taylor has a substantial White House trade but doesn't want to be inter- viewed about it. 'It's a matter of principle" he says, mot to talk about what make for the President"
 Harry Hopkins Fortune
 Friends of Relief Administra- tor Harry Hopkins, slated to be- come a member of the Cabinet as head of the new Department of Public Welfare created by the government reorganization bill. are telling this story on him:
 While convalescing from an op- eration in Miami, Hopkins saun- tered into palm readers estab- lishment to have his fortune told. The woman examined his long slender hand with intense interest and told him:
 You have the hand of a man who handles a great deal of money"
 Then she paused for mo- ment, but Hopkins made no comment. "Yes," she resumed, q would say you are profess sional gambler"

An un- usual feature of this record is that most of the youths never had been employed at all before enlisting in the corps "The New Deal League" organized by Southern Administration support CTS last year to back the Presi- dents Supreme Court plan, will hold it's first national conven- tion in Atlantic City in June.

The public is evenly divided, it seems, on the policy of printing the salaries of corporation officials. One of the original purposes of the law permitting the pub lication, it seems, was to benefit stock holders by showing them how much of corporations earnings are paid to off cers." This is all a matter of opinion. But great many are of the opinion that a persons salary like his religion or his politics are his own business. But as the world progresses one finds out that he no longer has any private affairs AS many are also of the opinion that salaries under twenty thousand dollars year not of publication importance, whereas, those soaring from $500,O00 to millions are more or less spectacular and of news value

Governor Cross having announced formally that the controversy over the form of construction on the Merritt Highway is concluded, re- suits of the discussions may be ap- praised.
 First-The system of buying land, which has resulted already in in- dictment and arrest of the States agent, as abandoned.
 Second-Two bridges, in New Ca naan and in Norwalk, will be treated to remove a hazard admit ted by everybody"
 Third-Three bridges to be built to carry the Parkway over other highways, will be 10 feet wider. The traffic separation strip on them will be feet instead of 16 inches wide.
 Presumably this means that of the dozen bridges still to be built, those which carry the Parkway over other highways will be in accord- ance with the new plan rather than as originally laid out. By i'm plication this decision is condem- natory of the narrower bridges which must stand as they are.

In New York
BY GEORGE ROSS

New York, March 31 - To the baseball addicts, football fiends, hockey partisans and fans of all sorts, add the courtroom coterie- those who pass idle hours in trial chambers all over the city, assidu- ously pursuing the legal forensics Of i this pleader or that and rating each like a pack of wolfish dramatic critics.
 They can tell you, at the drop of a query, whether Part or II of General Sessions has a better show this day and expertly direct you to cross ss-eXamination which packs the most dramatic wallop.
 Surely, if professional ethics per- mitted, there would be fan maga- zines printed about legal luminaries that would appear as gaudily idol atrous as those edited for the film colony. What Lawyer Liebowitz Whispered to the Jury" would be as hot headline to courtroom deni- zens as What Garbo Murmured to StokoWski" to the screen-maniacs.
 Anyone presuming that autograph bounding is limited to Broadway might look upon the descent of Q famed attorney from the court building any morning, and watch him being badgered for his sigma ture as if he were Robert Taylor.
 Critical Discernment
 The trial fans, moreover, can tell you about the individual traits of their star performers. They know that when Samuel J. Liebowitz, one of the crack defenders before the bar of justice, wishes to pause ef- fectively between sentences, he lightly brushes his pocket kerchief across his mouth. They can cite the sartorial differences of opinion be- tween courtroom warriors, offering the rapid information that James Murray, who has successfully fought many murder trials, prefers doubc- breasted suits and starched collars, and that David Wilentz, who prose- cuted Bruno Richard Hauptmann, doesn't.
 With a connoisseur's delibera- tion they recite their preferences for courtroom histrionics as if the lawyers were members of Actors Equity Association. They compare Liebowitz to Claude Rains because of the various facets of temper he can turn on and of in direct or cross examination. They speak of Max D. Steuer as they would of Adolphe Menjou, giving him the accolade for suavity before the bench and jury box, nerves unruf- fled and temperament as calm as a still lake. The court followers feel lrather sad about Ferdinand Pecora' $ deserved appointment to the bench, for they long admired his electric performances when he was on the other side of Justices footlights.

Selected Poem
THE APPLE TREE
Gnez Wilcox Dennison in the Poets Column,
 Hartford Courant)

neg Wilcox Dennison in the Poets Column
 Hartford Courant) By the pasture bars it stood
 Crooked in the sun, Branches bent and knotted wood
 Trunk with vines o'er-run; Where the weeds and brambles made Riot,-there it cast its shade. No one even turned to glance
 At the grim old tree, Though the robins found romance
 In it's greenery-; Only one,-in early spring It became wondrous thing. Then,-no queen in proud array
 Wore such loveliness, When the orchard trees in May Donned their flowery dress Cinderella at the ball This old tree out-Shone them all. All it's crooked branches wore
 Wealth of fragile bloom,- Every bent twig held flower
 Filled with sweet perfume; Something quite unreal it seemed,- Something one had only dreamed. Half century has passed Since I saw it there,- Yet my memory holds it fast
 Like vision rare; And when spring draws near I see Filled with bloom the apple tree.
