Catholic Transcript Lauds
 Cardozo, Scores Germany

The Catholic Transcript pays high tribute editorially today to the late Justice Benjamin N. Car dozo of the supreme court. The editorial in the weekly diocesan publication takes occasion to att tack the persecution of Jews in Germany.
 The Transcript says:
 "The passing of Justice Ben- jamin N. Cardozo at this precise time carries a significance which should challenge more than pass ing notice. He was Jew. He was a scholar. He labored hard, spent his time and strength, his learning and intellectual gifts in the service of his country. AL though the women were enamored of his gifts and his personality, he did not take time to marry and so divide his attention between home and country. He was citi- zen who gave all to the service of his fellows and who showed him. self worthy of the best that the nation could afford.
 Pass over to Germany at this very hour and you will find that one of the principal reasons for making tragic war against the Jews is that there are so many of them practicing at the bar and

EXIDES VICTORS
 IN AIR TRIUMPH
Batteries Came Through Magnificently for Hughes
 on World Cruise

"The spectacular round world record-breaking flight of Howard Hughes and his crew of four daring sky-riders once more afforded an opportunity for Exide Batteries to demonstrate their capacity to come through even under the most gruelling and severe conditions" :" said George Kaplan, of Kaplan Brothers, local Exide distributors.
 Determined that the flight should be successful" Mr. Kaplan continued, Hughes and his en- gineers spared no effort nor ex- pense in equipping the huge mono- plane with every practical safety device known. Particular attention was paid to the radio equipment. Weather conditions, landing field conditions, and other pertinent in- formation naturally depended en- tirely upon the efficiency of the radio reception facilities. Radio reports to headquarters and observ- CTS and aides throughout the course likewise had to be assured through the adoption of absolute fool-proof and dependable equipment.
 Tt is significant, therefore, and we take great pride in the fact that two Exide Aircraft type bat teries were on board The New York World Fair of 1939." These Exide batteries furnished current for starting, landing lights, navigation lights, and instrument lights. In addition, they furnished the major portion of the current requirements for broadcasting and were in re- serve as emergency power in case of generator failure"
 Further commenting on the elab- crate preparations for the flight, MT. Kaplan said, Emergency bat teries were in readiness at strategic points along the route. These bat teries, for use as replacement in case of some unforeseen misfor- tune, were fully charged and ready for installation in Paris, Moscow and in Fairbanks, Alaska-another example of Exide worldwide service.
 Tt is a source of great satisfac- ton to us, and Ithink to car-own- CTS in this vicinity generally, to know that Exides were selected for this important job. Further, iti is 8 matter of record that not only on this record-breaking flight, but on many other epochal flights, ex- plorations and expeditions, Exides have, almost without exception, been the choice of these discriminating and exacting users."

at the bedside of the sick-too many Jewish lawyers, and too many Jewish doctors. The Ger man professions were open t0 all, but the Jews fitted themselves to carry away the honors and that so successfully that the Gentiles became feloniously jealous of their success.
 It is to be hoped that the Gen. tiles of America will never become so blindly envious that they will make war upon the more indus trious and successful Jews. Jus tice Cardozo had few rivals before the bar in this country. He came as near being an ideal practitioner as could be imagined. His success came as crown to his own gifts and his own labors. If he had few rivals 1t was because few men were so wonderfully gifted and so wisely industrious. The lawyers of the country are unanimous in speaking his praise.
 Germany is wrong, disgracefully wrong, in making war upon the Jews because so many of them master the law, and the other pro- fessions. Let us hope that the day will never come when out rivaled American Gentiles will call for war upon the Jews because they make the best possible use of their gifts and their opportunities. Rather than cry out in envy, let us work as they work and use our gifts as they do theirs. Jealousy is disgraceful weakness, we should make war upon it and that wth the immovable determina- tion to give every man his due. The lawyers extol Justice Cardozo with an unanimity and fervor that hold up the narrowness of the German Gentiles to the con- tempt of the nations of the earth.

Reduction In Rates
 Provokes Comments
Professor Levitt Attorney Hackett Issue Statements
 Claiming Honors for Effecting Saving for Public

Credit for a part in the reduction oS rates by the Connecticut Light 2s Power company, as announced this week by the company, was claimed by several persons today among them Attorney Joseph A. Hackett of Waterbury, and Prof Albert Levitt, of Bedding, former special assistant U. s. attorney gen- eral
 Petitions Sent
 Attorney Hackett called attention to petitions sent to the Public Util- ity Commission seeking elimination of the so-called fixed rate charge eliminated under the new schedule of rates by which the company has announced that $141,000 will be saved to consumers in the Water bury district.
 Prof. Levitt remarked that he had been battling for lower utility rates for the last ten years and hailed the reduction as a "enlight- ened self-interest (by the utility company which will benefit both the company and the people of Connecticut" He added:
 T am deeply graffied that the Connecticut Light and Power Com pany has finally removed the area charge from its base rate: have just seen some of the detailed fig / ures which show what the proposed new rates will be. I believe that they will produce a genuine saving to customers of the Connecticut Light and Power Company"
 Patience Awarded
 Attorney Hackett stated: "As a result of my past efforts for 500 signers of a petition to the P. U. c. for the elimination of the fixed charge and reduction in the elec- trtc light and gas rates in this vicinity, now, 8 substantial reduc- tion of $141,000 has been realized to the benefit of rate payers of the City of Waterbury.

withheld, reductions in rates could be made from time to time. But, however, if the hearing was to go forward at once expensive experts for surveys would necessitate ex- pending many thousands of dol- lars by the company, which would have to be added to the cost of production and prevent reductions in the future.
 Therefore, by this patient atti- tude and cooperation, this reduc- tion has now come as anticipated for the benefit of all users of elec- tricity and gas in Waterbury"

MinorChangets
In Cage Rules
OVERTIME SESSIONS
TO END AFTER TWO
POINTS ARE SCORED

Basketball fans will see a few
changes in the cage game this
year, according to Oswald Oudal,
prep basketball official who in7
terpreted some of the new rulings
at a meeting of coaches in New
Ulm Thursday.
In instances where the game
ends in a tie there will be an in
PERMISSION of two minutes before
play is resumed. Following this
will be three minute overtime
period which, however, will end
automatically when one team
makes two points.
Should the game remain a tie
after the first overtime period,
another period of the same length
will be played until such time as
two points have been scored. If,
however, at the end of any over
time period, any team leads by
one point, the game is over.
Oudal also pointed out that the
space between the free throw line
and the edge of the circle is no
longer a restricted area providing
the man standing within does not
have the ball. Only when he has
possession of the ball in the circle
does the three second law go into
effect. Otherwise a player can
stand in the circle indefinitely.
