Sending Measure Back

The House
WESTERN SENATORS
AFTER PROTECTION

Coasts at Same Time Is
Sought In House

Washington, Feb. 11-(AP)-The
Senate defeated today move to delay
action on the administration farm pro-
gram. It voted down 48 to 81 re-
quest to send the compromise farm
legislation back to conference with
the House, which already has approx
ed the bill.
Western senators asked the bill be
sent back to a Senate-House confer
ence because changes were made in
provision intended to protect dairy
and livestock producers from competi-
ton by farmers who reduce their plant
ings of cotton, wheat, corn, tobacco
and rice.
Senators from dairy and livestock
areas argued the revision by the con-
ference committee eliminated protec-
ton for them and violated rules of the
Senate.
After victory on the controversial
move, administration leaders were con
fident they had enough votes to pass
the measure, which would set up con-
troll over production and marketing of
the five major crops.
Thus far, Senate debate had been
limited to this single provision of the
complicated measure.
Meantime, Chairman Vinson, Demo
crat, Georgia, told the House Naval
Committee he would try to amend the

The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-03-14
Second Week Here

Grand jury investigation Of financial and political matters in Waterbury enter the second week tomorrow. The first week has produced nothing startling in the nature of witnesses appearing before the jury. What information may have been volunteered or what conclusions the jury might have drawn from queS- tioning those who were summoned Is, ot course, known only to the participants. Conjecture can cause many comments, for and against, pro and con, remote and near, related and distant.
 As the jury starts the second week of it's inquisition one paramount fact is uppermost. Will at some time during the proceedings witness refuse to testify along certain lines? Down in Bridgeport last week G. Leroy Kemp, Darien real estate dealer and purchasing agent for the State Highway Department, would not answer question put to him by the grand jury on the ground that lit might tend to incriminate and degrade me-. His right to do so was upheld by Judge Carl Foster of the Superior Court.
 It's barely possible that such a course of action having been taken in the Mer- ritt Highway probe, similar attempts might be made by local witnesses Of course that would depend, to a consider able extent, on the manner of question ing the witness might be undergoing and his own personal feelings in the entire matter. There undoubtedly exists among most of the witnesses called to date complete freedom from any desire to withhold from the jury such information as it might seek.
 But one thing is very apparent the grand jury cannot expect any man to Judge Ernest L. Inglis' charge of last week we learned that this was a fact-finding jury and not group of men holding court on an accused prisoner.

Antiseptic Light

Apollo, the ancient sun-god, was life giver and also destroyer. Modern physi- clans find in sunlight the same attributes. Natural sunlight promotes health and kills disease germs. And artificial sum- light, produced and controlled in ultra violet lamps, is found to be very good destroyer of germs. Some rays of the ultraviolet band are better for this pur- pose than others. Two doctors who have been working for several years in New Jersey laboratory discovered the wave length that serves this purpose best. They have developed a lamp using mercury and other gases, enclosed in glass tube of special type which allows only the desired wave-length to pass through.
 With this apparatus, they say, they are able to kill bacteria in hospitals and sur- gical operating rooms, sterilizing the air, instruments, and so on. They also sug- gest the use of such means for sterilizing foods supplies, killing germs in places of public assembly, and so on. It amounts to bringing intensified, selected rays of sunlight indoors under scientific control. Any good mercury vapor lamp, or even a carbon arc lamp, experts say, may serve the same germ-killing purposes, but not so effectively.

Hitler Marches On

Hitler and time seem to be moving in the same direction. And no one has made better use of his time than the dictator of German realms. His latest coup, if you care to dignify the smash of the Austrian Empire as such, is one that focuses the spotlight on Germany and it's head, Herr Adolf Hitler Austria is just the begin ming. Hitler's paths are ever onward. From Austria he branches out into CzechoSlovakia. This is ripe territory for war; the Balkans have always provided ready material for the war-god, Mars.
 And while Herr Hitler continues his ruthless march over countrysides Euro pean nations like Great Britain, France, Italy will sit back and do nothing. AS a matter of fact there's nothing they actu- ally can do unless they want to declare war. And right now none of them seems anxious to cross bayonets with the new German army and navy. But in his trek Herr Hitler is bound to be bit careless or become too brash. That's the moment to look to for then will come the storm and the battle-lineS will form.
 War seems to be the ultimate end of this Nazi drive. Hitler is not going to be satisfied with recovering what Ger many may have lost as result of it's World War failure. He's more ambitious than the Kaiser and his war-lords He sees Central Europe in which the Ger man Empire will be the dominating force and influence. German ideals will pre- dominate in many nations; German puppets will be injected in strategic posi- tions in puppet kingdoms
 It looks like new map for Europe in the next five years. It is doubtful, too, if America can escape the results of the Nazi purge. We may not be drawn into European war, but we'll be drawn into something, unless our stern position of isolation can be fortified with what all dictators' fear-guns.
