Six Sites Proposed
 For Home Building
Members of Waterbury Housing Authority Hold Con=
 ference on Plans; Three Projects Consideration

Conference of members of the Waterbury housing authority, ap- pointed some time ago by Mayor Frank Hayes, resulted yesterday in the suggestion of six sites for the projected low-cost housing which Waterbury will seek under provi- sions of the Wagner-Steagall act. While the state law relating to muni- cipal participation in the program remains a barrier to immediate pro- cural of federal funds from the $250, 100000 allotted by congress, Waterbury's preliminary plans are progressing, committee members re- ported.
 The committee voted to consider development of three housing pro- jects, each to be adjacent to prin- cipal factories and Fred A. Webster architect, submitted drawings of construction figuring $3,200 per family in blocks for four families and more.
 Sites suggested were 40 acres on Chase avenue, near Bucks Hill, which William M. Harris, chairman of the committee, described as fav- orable because of nearby WPA pro- jects which might be turned into a trade proposition to the government, sewer work and drainage to equal the 10 per cent cost required of Wa. terbury by the government. Rev. Dr. John N. Lewis, land committeeman, suggested a tract of 50 acres be- tween Delaware and Grandview avenues.
 Other sites suggested were city land near Brookside home, lower Highland avenue, near Platts Mills, land on Walnut avenue extension, and a tract east of Baldwin street, adjacent to Edgewood avenue, Mad ison and Baldwin streets.
 J. w. McGurk of the Building Trades Council sent communica- tion asking a conference and the authority replied by inviting mem Der of the council to serve on the advisory committee of the group. Frederick c. Smedley reported on legal questions taken up with Wash ington, John J. Driscoll, recording secretary of the Waterbury Brass Workers Union, reported on con- struction topics undertaken with Washington.

STABILITY

Peter Molyneaux editor Of the Texas Weekly,
has been widely quoted in the statement that the
New Deal must GO lock, stock and barrel, II there
is ever to be restoration of stable prosperity and
a resumption of orderly economic progress in this
country" " - 49,.
But before making this assertion, Mr.. MolyneauX
said IN his editorial that the situation with respect
to cotton illustrates the character of the New Deal
"In the case of cotton" he wrote, sits policy has
been to produce less instead of to consume more.
1t has been a policy of limiting production instead
of policy of maintaining and of increasing sales.
How this works out he explained when he stated ::
"The world consumed less American cotton during
the four years ending with 1888 than during the
previous four years. and it consumed less American
cotton during the four years ending with 1887 than
during the four years ending with 1888. And dur
ing the past year ending July 81, 1888, it consumed
nearly two million bales less of American cotton
than during the previous year." ..'. p,
The catastrophe in this situation is greater than
the figures quoted above indicate, for during the
four years ending with 1887, the world consumed
more cotton, as Mr. Molyneaux said in his editorial,
than during any other four years. -tr
During the past twelve months also, in spite of a
decline of consumption in the United States of
more than two million bales, the world consumed q
million bales more of cotton than the annual aver
age world consumption during the five years end
ing with 1929
1.-THE world is consuming fifty per cent more of
foreign cotton today than it was prior to 1929, but
it is consuming less and less of American grown
cotton" Mr. Molyneaux wrote, "and that is where
the policy Of producing less instead of selling
has brought the American cotton growing indus
try" . ..,.'H,
And that it seems to us, is where the same policy
applied to other agricultural production is likely to
bring all American farming.
That is the character of the New Deal which
leads Mr. Molyneaux to declare that the "New Deal
must CO. if there is ever to be restoration of sta

BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON
RY RODNEY BUTCHER

Frank E. Gannett, who has lec
some of the bitterest and mos
successful battles against Roose-
Welt proposals, says he thinks cit.
more certain than ever" thai
Roosevelt will seek reelection IL
1910. Gannett is "inclined TO be.
lieve he will win"
Reports are getting around tha,
Roosevelt has told certain per
sons he won't run again. But somt
of his closest associates are SUI,
they'll be begging him to accer
denomination in 1910 and that l.
will heed their pleas:
DROBABLY no one will eve
l. know, but it's possible ma
jority of the Supreme Court fa-
vored a review of the Tom Mooncy
case despite the Courts formal
refusal to reconsider its pre-; iouS
refusal to grant a writ of Ger
tiorari.
Justices Reed and Black dis
sented from the original refuse
to grant the petition of Attorney
John H. Finerty and George T.
Davis. But it was announced they
took no part in consideration oi
the second application, which
meant six justices made the de,
cision.
They may have been unanimous
or they may have split three to
three, in which case reconsidera-
ton would still have been refused
for lack of a favorable majority
among those voting. The point is.
no one knows.
Some effort will be made for
legislation requiring the court to
grant .certiorari in any case where
at least two justices think a writ
should issue, and requiring the
court to give its reasons for re-
fusal when important constitu-
tional questions are involved. :,
Prospective sponsors of the bill
are none too hopeful.

WTASHINGTON.-So it's a third
" term, is it?
Or isn't it?
Well, thank heaven, that's set
tied. Or, at least, it seemed to be
settled the morning of Nov. 9,
when nearly everyone whose
views appeared in print said the
election results had buried all pos
sibilities Of a Roosevelt third term
or even a third term nomination.
No one in Mr.. Roosevelt's place,
it was said, would be such a fool
as to think of trying for another
denomination after what had lust
happened, and the sooner he re-
nounced the idea publicly, the bet
ter for all.
Secretary Ickes was first to
crawl from under the debris
and announce he could still notice
third term possibilities fiickering
on the far horizon.
Later Governor Murphy of Mich
igan declared the question ought
to be left "open," and Senator
Norris OF Nebraska said he doesn't
hke third terms but could manage
TO stand one for Roosevelt.
That seemed to indicate where

TWO GROUPS FORMING

The civilized world seems grad
ually to be dividing into two
groups: Those who prefer liberty
to security, and those who prefer
security to liberty.
You cannot have liberty with
security unless you personally
own and control your security. II
you work hard, acquire money
and invest it soundly, you can
have liberty with security. But. II
you look to someone else to pro-
vide your security for you, then
you must expect someone else to
dictate to you. You must give
up Souf independence. You must
be like, a child constantly control
led by his parents-with the diff
ference that you would not have
the love and consideration the
child receives from his parents.
Should you surrender your lib
erty to a government in exchange
for security at the hands of that
government, eventually, if not
Immediately, impersonal bureaus
and bureaucrats would dominate
your life. If you are willing to
sacrifice your freedom, you may
get security; and then again you
may not; it would all depend on
how much more successfully the
government could or would con-
duct your affairs than you. Few
persons can be trusted with au-
tocratic powers
The reason there is so much
conflict between parents and
children is that parents insist on
governing their children while
providing for them, and the chill
dren insist on having their own
way. But it is easier for the child
to submit to the dictation of his
