Waterbury County

We were interested in that section of Judge Ernest Inglis' official decision, handed down yesterday in the local grand jury cases, which said that Waterbury was a county in itself. Waterbury has often longed to be county seat in name as well as in legal fact. But there's no disposition on the part of the Legislature now to set up a new county in the state. AS a matter of fact it was quite a task to get sessions of the Superior Court in this city as recent item in The Democrat showed
 We have often pointed out that so far as Connecticut and many other eastern states are concerned the county as a governmental subdivision serves few purposes today. There are only the sev- eral county institutions left to be looked after We have only one elective official in the county, that the High Sheriff. County commissioners who actually have control of the county institutions and funds are appointive.
 But in the courts of the county there is much activity and certainly in this respect Waterbury is an entity all by it. self as Judge Inglis declared. It has it's own county courthouse it's own Superior set-up is maintained here in Waterbury just as there is in New Haven, our county seat If by chance counties should ever be eliminated from the governmental scheme of things, Waterbury certainly would be the center of judicial district, just as it is right now

MIR. CUMMINGS MENTIONED

New HaVcE JOurnal-COuricr)
 We note with interest new sug- gestions that MT. Archibald Nc Neil is not now gunnirg for MT. Lonergan himself. Mysteriously per sonages lowering in the background are, by the newest conjecture, using MT. McNeil merely as collector of delegates, who would be thrown in good time to that candidate de- signated by the persons on high at Washington It is even hinted that MT. Cummings oft-suggested re- tirement from the cabinet might allow him to take the nomination himself. Always assuming, of course, that he could get it. Whether he could get it or not might very well remain a question.
 Obviously the selection of MT. Cummings as the New Deal candi- date in Connecticut would have has announced that he won't cut down candidates for renomination when they differ with him on single point of conscience. meaning doubtless, on the court-pack. The Iowa experience unquestionably has something to do with the Presi- dents magnanimity on this point, by proving that he couldn't cut such Senators down whether he wanted to or not. MT. Cummings, however, is said by some to have in- vented the court scheme himself. A battle between him and MT. Loner- gan might thus again move this issue to the center of the debate.

Ford's Farm Boys

Henry Ford, as usual has the courage of his convictions. He thinks Americans today are too far from the land - that the remedy for what ails us is back-to- the-land movement. So he proceeds to start one. Free western land is gone, but there is plenty of idle land in almost every section of the country. Some of it lies right around Detroit and Dearborn, Mich, and is owned by Mr. Ford. So he is going to combine an agricultural prof ect and youth project
 He will begin with 100 boys of IT to 20 years, boys not able to go to college, largely the unemployed sons of Ford fac tory workers. They will be planted on model farms, living in comfortable tents, with warmer lodgings for winter, to raise corn, soy beans and other products a combination of foodstuffs and raw mater ials for the industrial plastics in which Mr. Ford is greatly interested. If the experimental farms succeed, he will start many more.
 It is fine, useful undertaking, supple menting activities that the federal gov- ernment and various states have been trying to do for unemployed youth. Mr. Ford, operating on smaller scale with his model projects, may do an excellent job, with the boys and his farm-industry experiments. But it doesn't seem likely that any general back-to-the-land move ment, such as he is always urging, is pos sible, even if his pioneer efforts for new industrial crops on the farm are success ful. Machinery enables fewer hands to do more work, on the farm as in the fac tory. The industrial problem will remain

Sectional Colors

Psychologists as we'll as stylists should be interested in a study made of color preferences by one of the automobile companies It found that all but two Of the 27 states east of the Mississippi River prefer black cars to any other color. The exceptions are Florida and Alabama where black was respectively second and third choice. Black is preferred also by eight of the ten largest cities. Next to black, the East mostly likes blues and grays.
 West of the Mississippi, preferences are for green in the Rocky Mountain area and tan and red in the Pacific Coast states Perhaps the East, being on the whole more conservative than other re- gions takes naturally to the conservative colors Perhaps the Pacific Coast area takes it's color preferences from the highly colored southwest. Yet that guess would hardly explain the northwestern Coast states. And why should the Rocky Mountain belt prefer green?
 It would be interesting to make a similar canvas of color preference in clothing and other merchandise, and see whether they would fall into the same regional patterns. If so, it would help to simplify some marketing problems. But to the scientific-minded, the psychological

since it may be assumed that swim and stunning together with preceding and succeeding proceed ures is at least a two-hour affair, the rule in effect places the beaches on a id-admission basis. Besides the new admission fee, the rule in creaseS the former camping rate and fixes a charge for formerly free short-term or transient" camping.
 The basis for the rule is given as the governors economy program which, according to the commits sion's announcement, "neceSsitates a cut of 10 per cent in appropriations made by the last General Assembly for the care and maintenance of state parks" That, the statement goes on to say, lis practically i'm possible, If the parks are to be kept open," and the only alternative is to assess the users.
 In an emergency, and with no alternative, users of the state parks, commonly referred to as Connecti- cuts splendid free park system, should not object too much to pay ing reasonable charge for the en- joyment thereof. But if 1t is prac- tically impossible for one agency to reduce its expenses, by doing some economizing throughout and by drastically curtailing or eliminating the n-essentialS so as to release part or all of that money to the essentials, how does it happen that it is not practically impossible on the part of other agencies-Which are unable to assess the public when instructed to cut down themselves?
 It is a matter of only about a week since the state took over as park and flores property, to have and to hold-to develop and to maintain-for 99 years new tract of poor farm land" approximately equal in acreage to the largest sim gle tract hitherto on the state list. It is odd to hear pleas of inability to maintain the present plant cou- pied with announcements that ad- ditional tracts are being acquired.

THE SHOW MUST GO ON
(NeW York TimeS)

(New York Times)
 Canio's heart is breaking-but the show must go on. Leo, the lion, has just mauled his keeper and the love- ly lady ropewalker falls unconscious into the net-but the show must go on. The Wolf at the Door has bit ten the box office-but the white haired widow of former proprietor rides up to the lot in private car to tell the roustabouts the show must go on.
 And then, incredibly, the tradition breaks down. The show will only go on at union rates The animals are willing, the freaks are willing, the performers are willing, even the peanut men are willing, but the union is adamant. Pay cuts are out. So right in the hardest stratum of the hard-coal belt the show folds.
 What pity! Winter quarters in Florida is no place for the circus in summertime. But the union won a famous victory. Are its members happy? No. They, too, are uot Of jobs. The elephants are all white heart alone that is breaking. The elephants now. It is not Canio's calliope is silent and small boys everywhere are sad. Is 1t the begin ming of the end of the Big Top? Not at all. We still have WPA circus

Battle of the Century

At Wimbledon tomorrow the battle of the century, so far as the tennis world IS concerned, will take place. On the famous center court and before packed stands Mrs. Helen Wills Moody will bat tie it out for the championship with Miss Helen Jacobs The outcome is in doubt by virtue of the fine play that both Americans have displayed thus far in this great tennis classic Odds, if any, might 20 on Mrs. Moody by virtue of the come back path she has blazed thus far in 1888. Miss Jacobs hasn't given much indication of physical ailments in the tourney, but she is supposed to be handicapped phy- sically.
 It's three years since the two Helens have battled it out on tennis court. In that last meeting it was Mrs. Moody who wrested a match away from Miss Jacobs after the latter certainly thought she had it well in hand Set apiece and leading 5-1 in the deciding set Miss Jacobs went down to defeat - a glorious one, to be sure, for the former queen of the courts, but a bitter loss to Miss Jacobs. That she will be out to avenge the 1885 defeat tomorrow is positive It may be, too, that she has been pointing towards this day and encounter
 We should say that both American players will have their games at top pitch for the finals They have played in-and- out tennis throughout the tourney. Mrs Moody has brushed aside fine players, ir- cluding some to whom she had lost earlier in the year in minor British journeys It remained for Miss Jacobs, though, to blaze triumphant match through her draw, ending up with startling victories over the Polish star, JedWiga JadraioWska, and her own teammate, Alice Marble, former U s. champion.
 The two Helens should be at peak form tomorrow If so then the battle of the century can be expected. And may the better player be crowned champion.

Fine Biography of Pope of Peace"
BY BRUCE CATION

When kind-eyed, student diplomat Achille Ratti mounted the throne of St. Peter, in Rome, Feb. 6, 1922 there descended upon him from his predecessor, Benedict XIV, not only the power to govern 300000,000 Catholics, but also the task of deal ing wisely and justly with a war scared world.
 How Achille Ratti, the Pope of Peace" and one of the most domi- nant figures ever to occupy the papal throne, has dealt with the forces of Nazism and Communism and their prosecutions of the church is recounted in an excel- lent biographical study, Pope Plus XI and World Peace" Out ton: $3), by the English Lord Clonmore.
 Writing Interestingly anc rev. erently, Lord Clonmore reveals some of the background of the Pope's relentless battle against atheistic Communism, first as Papal Nuncio to Poland when Achille Ratti, himself, faced pos sible death at the hands of the Reds, and subsequently,, as Pope, his dealings with Communistic prosecutions in Russia, Spain and Mexico.
 Clonmore treats at length of the encyclical "Quadragesimo Anno," in which Plus XI outlines rela- tions of labor and capital, and the ultimate goal of living social justice. It is this encyclical, as well as that of Leo XIII, "Rerum Novarum, that has been &C., claimed by many economists as the best program for a well organ fled society.
 All in all you will enjoy the per- sonal picture Clonmore has so ad- mirably drawn of the Pope and his staggering task.-T. H.

Ambassador Kennedy sailing after week spent in this country had quite bit to say about Ava Johnstons article printed in the Saturday Evening Post. Concerning what Johnston had to say of him, Kennedy said, q admit that I am the Ambassador, but I deny that I am the premier Scotch whiskey salesman in the country" And also as regards the article Kennedy says, "this magazine tries to make me out phony, but if all of it is as true as the part l read about myself, It IS complete, unadulterated lie" The article in question concerns James Roose- welt as crack insurance man. It is readable article, but if it is just a lot of hooey it loses any of it's merits as good writing or anything else.

F NAN CIAL BARONS, WHO FIRST SUGGESTED DICTA- TATORSHIP FOR ROOSE- WELT, ARE NOW THE LOUDEST IN CLAIMING

Roseland, N. J.

Roseland, N. J.
 June 29, 1888. Editor of the Democrat:
 Strange as 1t may seem, it was the financial barons who suggest cd that President Roosevelt put on the robe of a dictator. The Presi- dent refused. Now these same barons of finance are up to their old tricks again and are endeavor- ing to make the people believe the President desires to become a dicta- tor.
 Secretary of the Interior Ickes in his address Democracy or What" had this to say: Interestingly enough, those who were willing 10 accept a Fascist government went so far as to suggest one were not of the loWly nor average citizens. They were those who, possessing wealth and economic power and social prestige were willing to sacrifice the liberties of America that they might cling little longer in their wealth and power"
 The New Deal is here to stay. The American people will not be fooled by the financial barons' nonsensical dictator stuff, TOT will the people believe their foolish cry that the President does not compose his own speeches. The President thinking cap has produced and will produce constructive results and he will not be deterred in his purpose to carry out the will of the people.

President, Kennedy reported that the situation of German and Aus trian Jews is extremely hazardous and that unless a plan for their migration is worked out at the Evian conference thousands of them are doomed.
 On top of all the other refugee complications, Kennedy reported that the secret policy of the Nazis is to demand ransoms for the re- lease of these people whom they claim they are anxious to get rid of.
 Ickes' ElOpement
 It now develops that the chief reason the cabinet had a lot of good-natured fun with Acting Secretary of the Interior Burlew the other day over his chiefs. marriage was due to Secretary Morgenthau.
 The Treasury chief Is one of the most thoughtful and kindly members of the Cabinet. And when he saw Ebert Burlew at his first Cabinet meeting he re- membered his own first Cabinet session and how scared he was.
 So he broke the ice and put the Acting Secretary of the In- terior at ease by some friendly questions about Secretary Ickes' elopement.
 NOTE-Burlew, assistant secre- tary of the interior, is one of the few civil service men who has climbed all the way from the job of petty clerk to a near-C Cabinet position.
 Merry-GO-Round
 The report Ambassador Kennedy gave the President on U. s. diplom- acy was something which would burn up the page if printed. He rates them about as high as debutante gossip-gatherers. You may find Roosevelt putting fire cracker under Cordell Hull as a result :. The State Depart ment has been carrying on some confidential correspondence with various European nations, in- cluding even Herr Hitler, regard ing a conference to humanize war; that is, to protect civilians in the event of another world outbreak. It looks as if even Adolf and Benito have condescended at least to discuss the matter What good this will do remains to be seen, as there still are in existence various Red Cross treaties protect ing non -combatants.
