ing Committee would poll all county

half Of candidates in primary elec-
tions, would fall within the jurisdic-
ton of the Investigating Committee.

MEMORIAL PLAN
CALLED MEDIOCRE
Architectural Expert Asks
Jefferson Monument Be
DELAYED.

Branding the late John Russell
Pope's design for the Thomas Jeffer-
son Memorial as mediocre and unin-
spired, at BEST" Henry 8. Churchill,
chairman Of the National Competitions
Committee for Architecture and the
Allied Arts, today appealed to sena-
tor King, Democrat, Of Utah, to take
steps to force delay in construction of
the memorial until a new design can
be selected.
Mr.. Churchill said an appropriate
design can be found only by competi-
tive methods. A bill which would have
permitted architects throughout the
country to compete in creating new
design failed of passage In the last
Congress.
Since Mr.. Pope is dead, Mr.. Church.
Ill said, there Is no reason why "the
whole thing should not be reopened. !"
Furthermore, he explained, "the objec-
tions that have been made on all sides
to the site are still valid"
The project, Mr.. Churchill declared,
would better be delayed for six months
or a year rather than perpetuate
what the consensus agrees is a mis-
take"
The last deficiency appropriation bill
passed by Congress carries funds to
start construction Of the memorial in
accordance with Mr.. Pope's design on
the fringe Of the Tidal Basin,

POSTERS SHOWN
AT HARLAN TRIAL
Autographs With Captions
in Russian AIIegedIy Seized
From Union.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, KY, June 29.-Federal
Judge H. Church Ford admitted as evi-
dence in the Harlan labor conspiracy
trial today number of Autographs,
bearing Russian and English captions,
the defense said were seized in Offices
Of the United Mine Workers of
America.
Eight posters-one depicting the last
supper with the Christ serving liquor
from a still at the head of the table
were passed among the jurors.
The posters, and one cartoon show
ing gun thugs" and union men firing
upon one another from automobiles,
were introduced, the defense said, to
justify the attitude of Charles s. Guth-
rie, an ator-defendant, who testi-
fed Monday he would hesitate to
sign a contract with the U. M. w. A.
until 1t cleaned house."
Guthrie, general manager of the
defendant Harlan Fuel Co., identified
the posters and cartoon as having
been shown him in the Office of then
Harlan Sheriff John Henry Blair
shortly after the battle of Evarts" in
May, 1881, for which a number of
union men were sent to prison. Three
deputy sheriffs and a miner were killed
in the gunfight.
Guthrie said the nature of the lit
erature contributed to his attitude
toward the union. Despite that at
titude, however; he said, he never
Disseminated against union men or
tried to interfere with the U. M. w. A.
organization efforts. Guthrie and his
company are among 40 individuals
and II corporations on trial charged
with criminal conspiracy to violate
the Wagner Labor Relations Act by
attempting to block unionization of
the Harlan coal field.

1928 KILLED!
Casualties in Connecticut Not China! = 453 Vic times Involved in Automobile Accidents = And
 the Pedestrian Has the Right of Way!


 Out of 1928 deattlS caused by accident in Connecticut last year, 443 of the fatalities or about 35 per cent of the state total, resulted from automobile accidents and more than half of the victims were pedestrians, Will Hams c. Yelling, director of the Bureau of Vital Statistics of the State Department of Health, an- nounced today.
 Almost as dangerous as the streets and highways, however, was the home, for As people or approximately 34 percent of Con- necticut's accidental deaths in 1937 were incurred in the home, while 313 people or about 25 percent were killed in one or another form of public accidents other than motor vehicle crashes.
 The motor vehicle, MT. Yelling pointed out, speaking in the de- partment's weekly broadcast, is the largest factor in accidental deaths. On the average, more than one person day, every day through out the entire year, is killed in motor vehicle accident in Connect icut.
 The motor vehicle, MT. Yelling pointed out, speaking in the de- partment's weekly broadcast, is the largest factor in accidental deaths. On the average, more one person a day, every day throughout the entire year, is killed in motor vehicle accident ill Connecticut.
 During 1887, he reported, De- cember was the worst month with 59 persons killed in auto accidents In February year ago, "A persons died, and even allowing for the short month February would have shown a lower mortality than any other month of the year. The next best monthly records were made
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-02-08

in May and November, when there were 29 deaths in each month. Collisions with other cars and Sfixed objects contributed 98 out of the 443 deaths, approximately g percent.
 Pedestrians constituted the ma jor group of motor vehicle victims with PTS or some 63 percent of the fatalities.
 While the pedestrian has the right of way, it is nevertheless advantageous to observe certain reasonable precautions, such as not to take a hike on the travelled portion of a highway and to walk so that traffic is coming toward you," MT. Yelling said. If you cross street do so the proper crossings and not in the middle of the block. I wonder if there wouldn't be a great reduction in automobile deaths if drivers and pedestrians remember this: If you value the light of day, don't dis pute the right of way"

MINISTER RETURNS FROM CONFERENCE
Rev. Mir. BObilin Meets Ali M. LandOn at Methodist
 Church Session

Bobilin, pastor of First Methodist church, who at tended as an eastern representa- tive, told story of how the Repub- hcan presidential candidate took the part of listener for all sessions of the conference.

Bobilin, become conspicuous when, after a woman speaker had made some re- mark that pleased him, he ap- plauded. only to find himself along in the demonstration. This en- barrassed the former Republican spearhead, according to MT. Bobi- lin.
 The local pastor remarked that 7,oOO persons attended the meetings, held mostly at the Stevens hotel Principal consideration is the unit ing of the three major groups of the Methodist church and this mat ter will come up for action in May with possibility that nine million Methodist will join in one confer ence, he said.
