Dude Ranch
Lures Elite

A ranch in Wyoming is a far
cry from a presentation at the
Court of st. James'S entailing
yards and yards of red tape, not
to mention the buying of frockS
and feathers and worrying
about 18-inch trains.
However to Frances Andrews
variety is the spice of life, so al
though she spent last summer in
England with a curtsy, to the
King and Queen as the climax
to her trip, she will spend this
summer on a dude ranch!
With her mother, Mrs. Adol-
phus Andrews, Frances will
board a train tomorrow and they
will disembark at Wolf, Wyo-
ming. Awaiting them at Eaton'S
ranch are Admiral Andrews and
his son, Adolphus, jr. There the
four of them plan to spend the
entire summer.
Mrs. Rose Wilson, of Dallas,
Tex, spent the week end at the
Dodge and was accompanied by
Mrs. George Barham. Of Mid
land, Tex.

Restrictions Required

While property owners may have grievance against the proposal that the city adopt an ordinance limiting the number of new liquor establishments in Waterbury by setting up a 1000 foot restriction line, it is a case of civic better ment versus personal gain. There is no gainsaying the fact that there are today in our midst far more liquor establish ments than the community actually needs. If any person is interested in see- ing the community, the state, and the nation continue legalized manufacture, importation, and sale of liquors, then it must be done with the full cooperation of everyone.
 It is just such abuses as gradually creep in through lack of local ordinances that give impetus to the rise of such groups as brought about prohibition in the United States. Without entering into an argu- ment over prohibition, we do say that now should exercise such control over it that it will not become annoying or trouble some. If the number of liquor establish mentS in our midst is allowed to increase and multiply at will, we have a problem. Restrictions, such as the proposed ordinance impose, are sadly needed.
 There seems to be a unanimity of opin- ion among those presently engaged in the liquor business that for the r-otection of the existing establishments and for their mutual betterment some such law must be applied to them. To argue that the restrictions will injure business prop erty might be an indication that business property can only look ahead to the establishment of more taverns, more restaurants, more liquor stores In the face of facts which show that those now established in the trade must fight for a good weeks pay, we hardly see how the argument is anything but one that in theory is quite right, but in practice is not.

Here Today, Gone Tomorrow!

The latest development in the question of loW-coSt housing for the State or Oon- necticut is that the act as drawn up py the Legislature is ok. and there IS notn- ing to prevent cities or towns sharing III federal grants for housing projects. ms is in direct contradiction, as we look at it. to the letter recently sent to Gov. Will bur l.. Cross by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, stating that Connectlcuts housing laws were not in compliance Wlth federal and would have to be amended.
 Doubtless there is some logical explain ation of this shutting back and forth down in Washington, but until it is forth coming the average Connecticut resident will be inclined to wonder if this state isn't being given what is termed the run around. When housing law was drawn up here it was with the understanding that we were just getting under the wire so that we could share in possible federal benefits. Everyone was led to believe that the Connecticut housing act was III con- pliance with all federal demands.
 It remains now for counsel for the Fed eral Housing Authority to bear out its re- cent statement to the Connecticut Legis- lative Council, of which John D. Thoms of this city is secretary. Possibly only appll- cation to the FILA by Connecticut mu- nicipalities will bear out the truth of the FHA's counsel. If so, then everyone will be at perfect liberty to wonder just what occasioned President Roosevelt'S dis couraging letter to the governor. Incl dentally if the FILA is ever going to be Of any use to Connecticut as depression killer, now is the time to see action. There are plenty of local housing authorities Why not let them get down to the real work of providing low-cost housing pro- jects, starting slum-clearance work, etc?

You have the right to tell mem bers of Congress how you think they should vote on public issues.
 You have the right to urge other people to write to members of con- gress. That, in effect, is circulating a petition, and the right to petition is guaranteed by the Constitution.
 The Senate Lobby Committee is making a serious mistake when 1t attempts to browbeat citizens who have exercised this right in a legi- innate manner. Senator Minton o1 Indiana, the chairman, and Senator Schwellenbach of Washington, the other member, are both supporters of the Administrations Government reorganization bill. But it is not their business to prosecute, or perse- cute, people who oppose the bill.
 The right to lobby can be abused When interests that would get spe- cial benefit from the passage or de- feat of a measure organize cam paign to flood Congress with de- mands for the action they Want' that is wrong. It was to expose such abuses that the Lobby Committee was created.

Razzing Statesmen

David Low, famous British cartoonist, recently paid his respects to his countrys foreign policy with cartoon in the Lon don Evening Standard. He pictured a party at the country estate of Viscount and Lady Astor, held as celebration "to mark our leaders recent successes" Lady Astor, wearing military tunic and dec orated with the German Iron Cross, is shown saluting Hitler as procession of old women march past at the goose-step. Other noted Britishers are in view, in- cluding George Bernard Shaw who is crawling on all fours ahead of the marchers. The editors of two of the Astor newspapers are lifting tankards and singing the Horst Vessel song. Lord Halifax who succeeded Anthony Eden as Foreign Secretary sits on the lawn while some one reads Hitler's "Mein Kampf" aloud to him.
 There are more details, but these give the idea. The cartoon probably will not alter the British governments policy, but neither will the government do anything drastic to the cartoonist. His right to criticise the government in this forceful

A Petulent President

More and more as the public comes to realize that MT. Roosevelt is far from being the miracle man he would like everyone to believe he is, the peeviSh pettiness of the President presents itself more forcible each and every day to its attention.
 The latest and most child-like evidence of the Presidents growing peeve was his rush into print yesterday to declare he has no desire to be dictator after the arbitrary passage of his dictatorial reorganization bill. Evidently his victory was hollow one, even in his estimation, and the narrow squeak by which it won out, too close to be comfortable.
 Also more and more MT. Roosevelt begins to show his ire at anything in the way of disagreement with his course of action good, bad or indifferent. Especially during the first half of the second term nothing has clicked, and he finds himself today not only back at the place from where he started in 1883, but burdened with nineteen (19) extra billion dollars of debt too boot. That's long throw from the "more abundant life" we have been hearing so much about.
 However, notwithstanding the fact that all these things are so, MT. RooSe- velt's remark the other day after the reorganization vote that "the Senate cannot be purchased by organized tele- grams based on direct misrepresentation" is just as dictatorial as he claims he is not. It is not only dictatorial, but boy ish, and small boyish at that. Undoubt- edly the reorganization telegram barrage was only the beginning, and MT. Roose- welt will have to stand plenty before he's finished. The last half of every Presi- dential second term is the real test of mans bigness or smallness. Let us hope that thousands of more telegrams pour into the members of the House of Repre- sentatives where the final fate of the reorganization bill awaits defeat or confirmation within the next twenty-four hours. After that there is no turning back. The die will have been cast.
