C,ridiron Covered With
Fine Coat OF Green Grass
Billy Peace, Stellar
Back, Not Returning
to School, Enters
G. M. A.

With the opening of school not so
far distant, boys at Henderson high
school are turning their attention to-
ward the gridiron.
No word as to the probable startin :
date has been heard from Bing Miller,
director of athletics at the local school
who has been in Chapel Hill at the
state University during most Of tn :
SUMMER but work is likely to begin
inst before the opening of school.
The gridiron upon which the Bull
dogs will play their home games will
present a far different appearance
this year than last for it is covered
with a fine coat of grass.
Since the field was built two sea-
sons ago, the boys have faced mud on
rainy days, dust on hot days and a
slln-baked fled that was almost as
hard as concrete on others. With the
fine crop of. grass, the field will not
turn out as many injuries as in the
past.
Prospects for the year are about as
GOOD as usual, with graduation hav-
ing made inroads among the star per-
formers.
Peace Is Gone
A big blow to the Bulldogs was
dealt when Billy Peace, ace back ami
leading ground gamer, enrolled in
Georgia Military Academy for the
coming Year. Peace had another year
at the local school, and had been
counted on heavily by Miller to bear
the brunt of ball carrying during the
coming year.
Dick Galloway will be back in the
ball carrying department, and Miller
must find three others to run with
him. A years play should have
taught Galloway a lot of things, and
he can be counted on to turn in fine
year Robert Rideout will be back
at center to head the linesmen re-
turning, and Ed Wrenn, guard, who
played phenomenal ball after a bad
start last year, will be back at a
guard post Lonnie Harris, tackle
and mainstay in the forward wall has
another year.
From his reserves and new mate
rial, Miller will have to put out a
strong team to meet the competition
scheduled for the coming year.

Amendment of Drivers
Act Is Likely

the attention of the Department.
In the entire act of 1885 there is no
specific provision for suspending of
revoking the license of an habitual
drunlzard, though there is a sub-sec-
ton which provides that "The Depart
ment shall not issue an operators or
chauffeur's license to any, person
whom it has determined is an habitual
drunkard or who is addicted to the
use of narcotic drugs"
There has been nothing to indicate,
however, that Evans had ever been
adjudged an "habitual drunkard"
prior to issuance of his drivers Ii
cense, consequently no blame can be
laid to the Department therefor.
AS competent lawyers see it, the on
ly possible section under which the
Evans license could have been sus-
pended prior to the tragedy is to be
found in Section II of the 1885 act,
which provides:
"(a) The Department shall have au-
thority to suspend the license of any
operator or chauffeur without preli-
minary hearing upon a showing by
it's records or other satisfactory evil
QSnC0 CndI the llCGuSOS. IIlcIc
follow eight sections of which only
one could by any possible stretch have
been applicable to the Evans license.
That is the one numbered reading:
'Ts incompetent to drive motor We
hicle.'
To begin with the section is regard
ed dis on the ragged edge of uncon-
stitutionality as vesting judicial pow
ers in an administrative department.
Then. too, in the instant case there
has been no hint that the Depart
ment was in possession of records"
or even of sother satisfactory evil
dence" that Evans was incompetent
to drive a motor vehicle
It has been suggested that repeti-
ton of this case could be prevented
by an amendment which would pro-
vide for automatic suspension of the
drivers license of any person judicial
ly determined to be an habitual drunk
ard, as Evans had been.
At all events, the 1889 legislature
will likely be called on to review and
perhaps revise the Uniform Drivers
License Act.

The "Untouchable"

Pity the poor mayor of Madras, Indian city of a million persons and capital of Madras Presidency on the Bay of Bengal. Although J. SivaShanmugan Pillai is the highest ranking official of the city, many of his clerks won't handle documents he has signed, or pay him ordinary court esies. Many of his fellow officials won't sit with him in conference. Although it is his duty to inspect the city, there are certain streets down which he cannot walk, many wells from which he cannot drink, hum dreds of doors which he cannot enter
 Certain families who associate with him are liable to periods of punishments during which Shopkeepers may not sell them goods, barberS may not shave them, maiImen may not deliver their mail, car riers may not take them water and school teachers must not allow their children within school buildings. Even most of the temples are barred to His Honor, for Mayor Pillai is an untouchable, the first of his wretched class to ever be mayor of an Indian city
 He was elected after a 10-year cam paign by India's great Gandhi, but the wisdom of such campaign and victory is doubted by even GandhiS friends. For in the minds of millions of people of India the very touch of an untouchable is con- Sidered the touch of misfortune for any enterprise. Lepers, thieves and beggarS may use Madras broad Kings Highway, but Mayor Pillai is barred from stepping a foot upon it. He is despised and ostra- cized by the casteS above him and there are no casteS below him.
 Ghandi has fought ceaseless battle to break down the Indian caste system which condemns millions of it's people by the sole accident of birth to an abject poverty and misery each generation. The untouchable cannot leave his caste and cannot rise above it. There he lives, there he dies.
 The election of Mayor Pillai is Gandhi's first wedge into the caste system All the break has done thus far is to bring Scorn upon the head of Madras and acute suf- fering to the mayor, who can never lose consciousness of his own class humility. But Gandhi is not working for today, nor tomorrow. Centuries built up the caste system in India and it won't be torn town in mere years. Gandhi disciples who follow will see the untouchables rise to the level of other humans. Gandhi believes, as he strives for India.

Now You See It, Now You Don't

Talk about prestidigitation, it has nothing on what has been happening Ill Connecticut of recent weeks in our State Highway Department. O11e day it's this; the next it's that. At least to the average man on the sidelineS this is what 1t seems like. So many things have taken place, then been reversed that it's hard to keep track of what's going on and who's who. At least we do know that Commissioner John A. Macdonald still heads his High way Department and Commissioner Robert Hurley heads the Public Works ert Hurley heads the Public works Bureau, which at this writing hasn't control over highways and their appur- tenances.
 But there are more angles to it than this. There's the question of Commls- sioner Hurley's criticism of Commissioner Macdonald's management Of the High way Department Is that to be disputed? We don't know. A few days ago it seemed as if it were, for Commissioner Macdonald announced that there would be several bridges built along the Merritt Highway, according to original plans and not ac- curding to those later advocated by the Works Commissioner. Now we learn that the bridges won't be of the "pinch-neck" type, but will follow more modern lines. Ali of which is confusing.
 And this subject of water-bound macadam roads A month or so ago Commissioner Hurley forced a road con- tractor to replace section of new road because it didn't come up to specified tions. Along about that time it was announced that there'd be no more water bound macadam roads built in this state. Modern highway construction had dropped this type for a more lasting material True the initial cost was higher, but the upkeep was much lower than that of water-bound macadam which requires seasonal care, as anybody who drives over macadam road at this time of the year can see for himself.
 But early this week contracts were called for water-bound macadam road, proving that the Highway Department wasn't going to abandon such construc- tion and further complicating the situa- tion. But Governor Cross in a public statement said that Commissioner Mac donald now has decided to abandon water-bound macadam. Again reversal. All of which proves that you've got to be on your toes these days if you know what our highway policy is going to be.

Dead-Line Approaches

The Mckinley Association Dinner in Waterbury next week may become the dead-line for all aSpirants for state honors in Republican ranks this year. At least If it isn't, then a lot of the boys and writers have been busy drumming up trade prior to this event. At any rate the dinner is scheduled to lift the lid off something or other and it might as well be few candidates. And naturally the ones in which republicans seem to be principally interested right now are the governorship and U. s. Senatorship.
 There have been three manifestations of candidacy for the former in the last week or so. It started with the Hartford Courant bringing, forward William J. Pape of our own city. Not to be outdOne, Fairfield County, which fairly boils over whenever somebody is mentioned for political office in it's anxiety to bring out a candidate, has High Sheriff Edward A. Platt groomed for the gubernatorial nonl- ination. He says, If the Republican party so desires "heIl be the man to head the ticket.
 And if that wasn't enough down in Bridgeport they are suggesting that Mayor Jasper McLevy desert the Socialist cause this year and become the COP. candidate. This, of course, doesn't take into consideration Mayor McLevy's known disposition to remain true to the party which always supported him. True his election to office has been accomplished through the independent votes which were notable by their absence when he ran for governor as the Socialist candidate. It might be for this very reason that ne would prefer this year to run again, if he thinks it worthwhile, on the same ticket.
 States Attorney Hugh M. Alcorn will be very busy with his Waterbury investi- gation for some time now. The attendant publicity might well be the start of another boom for him. States Attorney Arthur Brown of New London County says he is through with politics, so things can certainly happen here in Waterbury next week if enough enthusiasm can be aroused. But the fact remains that Governor Wilbur L. Cross and State Chairman J. Francis Smith are not noticeably worrying over what will hap pen at the end of the coming summer, no matter how busy their potential opponents may be.

glowing harangues on the ques- ton, MT. Hull saw that it was expedient to follow suit, with the result that he returned from the conference hero.
 Value Executive
 When the Secretary of State roars into action on his trade treaties, he is rare sight to be- hold. He knows the principle of what he wants and goes after it. He is adamant against compro- mise.
 But regarding some other foreign policies he fumbIes the ball. When 1t comes to the Far East, probably the most im- portant problem before him, Hull has definite ideas and is eloquent private in expressing them.
 But upon various other prob lenls he is incoherent, vague and inarticulate. He has no capa- city for details, which would not be handicap were it not for the fact that the detailed execution of a foreign policy may make or break it.
 The career diplomats know this weakness and are inclined to push and pull their chief into positions the significance of which he does not realize until it is too late.
 The secretary is also torn be- tween the career diplomats and the Farley political appointees. so that he swings to one side, then to the other, with the result that the general standard of dip- lomatic appointments is worse than under Hoover.

 Senator Vandenberg's speech, in particular, ran true to the archaic political habit of prophesying abun- dant success in the election this year and in 1940. Perhaps some people may remember the equal positive ness with which the election of Governor Landon was forecasted. Perhaps some of the more Sanguine Republican chiefs did for time en- certain the thought that the Cover nor of Kansas would become preSi- dent of the United States two years ago, but certainly neither Senator Vandenberg nor any other of the statesmen who went on the air on the Lincoln Day entertains similar superstition about what will happen next November or November two years hence. Even those funny al- legged surveys which the newspapers are publishing do not even suggest such a possibility. The most recent of these alleged surveys described in headlines the falling off of the ad- ministration's popularity as about one per cent. In other words, If this guess were correct and the election were today, Franklin D. Roosevelt would still be elected by a majority of about 10,000,000 votes.
