NEW YORK, June 81. CUP)-
Leon G.. Turrou, agent of the Fed
eral Bureau of Investigation credit
ed with breaking the German es-
pionage ring, 18 of whose members
were indicted yesterday, announced
today he had mailed his resigna-
ton to J. Edgar Hoover, chief of
the FBI, in Washington.
Turrou, highest paid FBI agent
in the country with the top rank
of "pre-eminent', said he was re-
signing for reasons of health. For
the last three and a half months
he has been working on the spy
case an average of l6l2 hours a
day, and was near exhaustion when
the federal grand jury indictments
were announced yesterday.
The agent said he would go
abroad soon for a much needed
rest and then would devote some
of his time to writing book on the
achievements of the FBI.
He said he believed "all Americans
who have reached maturity should
be made aware Of the details of this
case that they may safeguard them
selves against the danger of any
repetition of the activities that
have been happening since 1885,
Secure in the feeling that was

very sweet music to baseball fans.
All over the land the opening of
the league seasons brings pleasure TO
millions of followers of this game.
These lovers of the sport are found
in every community. They have an
astonishing knowledge of the history
of the game and its individual play
ers. They can tell you the sporting
record of hundreds of these fellows.
and give an estimate of their pow
ers.
When they learn the makeup of
any given team. they can look hack
in their memories. size up the per-
fOrmances of these ball tOssers. and
give a pretty fair estimate of what
they will do in the months to come.
It's a good healthful interest. pro-

PROGRESSIVE MERCHANTS

Retail trade keeps gaining year
after year in a good town like Mil

people who keep their eyes very wide
open. They know what is being done
in the world. they read the trade pa
pers to get the latest ideas about
business. styles. prices, and service
They constantly see the statesmen
who handle the best lines. 1t is an
education i'm business to run such a
store for year
If anyone thinks our stores are
not fully up to the minute on every
modern idea. lie simply doesn't keep
watch of them. They may not carry
all the poor stun that you see in some
places. This is because they know
it does not pay to distribute goods
that will never give satisfaction. If
yOu want real bargains. stick to the
Milford stores.

The United States. it is said. is
probably ahead of all other countries
in the development of fighting air
planes. That is a cheering thought
in day when warlike men are
marching around with chips on their
shoulders. looking for someone Ia
knock them off.
Uncle Sam hopes that great force
of aircraft will never have to be used
for anything more than the mild err
rands of peace. Our people will put
up with a lot of provocative talk if
they can live in peace with the
world. Any war maker contemplating
stepping on Uncle Sans toes might
consider all those fighting planes.
and all the commercial birds of the
air that could be useful in time OF

THE REATTIETL HOME

You do not necessarily need to
have a costly and elegantly built
home in order to have a beautiful
one. There are many tiny little
houses the owners OF which have a
love for beauty, that are among the
most attractive and pleasing in their
home towns.
The first essential of n beautiful
home is neatness and good repair
Tumble down fences and such things
don't fit in with beauty. The beanti-
ful home needs TO be well cared for.
If it looks shabby. there won't be
much beauty. Planting of trees and
shrubbery and flowers is usually an
essential. 1t can turn even a plain
little dwelling into an abode Of beau

PRIMING THE PUMP

Shall the government start in Il
spend more billions to prime thu
pump" as il is called, and give busi
ness new start toward recovery
Here is the great subject on which
the wise men at Washington and
elsewhere will argue very much fol-
some weeks. "That pump is too
deep for me-" say many of our folks
. here in Milford.
The theory of printing the pump
goes back to the country home which
depends upon the good old hand
pump. Anyone who was brought up
in such a home knows that under
some conditions the pump runs
down and won't deliver water, no
matter how much You work the
handle. The housewife knows that
by pouring a certain amount of wa
ter into the pump. its work of sue
tiOn will again begin. and it will pro-
ceed to deliver the fluid and keep on
doing So
The analogy has seemed TO many
people TO suggest the way that busi-
ness could be brought back to nor
NAL. Just ponr a few billions into
the stagnant pump called business,
they say. and it will then keep Oper-
ating the way the rundown pump
does.
AS practical question. it has
not seemed to work so well as it
ought TO in theory. The pump has
been primed again and again during |
the past five years. hut for the past /
months it has run down again. sug-
gesting that some different kind of
treatment may be necessary.
The American people can't allow
the unemployed TO suffer. If our bus
mess system won't support them.
and they are destitute, they must be
cared for. The folks who built up
this country never believed in run
ming up debts with the freedom
which is being done today. They
would say, provide for the destitute.
but pay the bills as yOu go along.
Milford chronicle., 1938-04-22
AMERICAN RIGHTS

Secretary of State Hull recently
said that the United States navy
must be kept free to defend Ameri-
can rights in any part of the world.
The country will probably agree to
that idea, only just what rights is the
country responsible for defending?
If Americans living in some coun-
try torn up by war. claim that our
ships must wait around in the zone
of fire. to see that they are given pro-
lection in their dangerous situation,
that is going pretty far. We all want
to protect Americans, but when the
guns begin to shoot. we don't expect
any of them to sit on the front porch
as If nothing was doing but a ball
game. If they get hit. some excit-
able folks would demand that our
guns begin shooting too.
Milford chronicle., 1938-04-22
PRIMARY ELECTIONS

The, great political hattie Of 1885,
opened some days ago. when Illinois
had its party primaries to make
nominations for the fall elections
other states are following in rapid
succession.
The American people have ,some-
where continuous politics. That. is
one reason why the people neglect
their political duties. II elections
and primaries didn't come so often.
not so many voters would be play
ing truant election day. II govern
ment was run thesway schools are,
the truant officer would he sent after
neglectfnl voters.
How can people expect good gov
ernment, when the great majority of
them never turn up at these primary
elections? II takes the election day
to wake them up. and many of them
are still asleep on that fateful occa-
sion.
In many ways the primaries are
more important than the elections.
AT the primary the fates of state
and nation are largely decided. If
one party makes a good nomination
and the other a poor one. the first
party usually wins. The elements
that control the primaries usually
control the elections. Movements for
better politics soon bog down. be-
cause so many people who, believe
in good government are too tired or
too tender to get out and help make
The nominations.
When the American people finally
get tired of waste. inefficiency. high
axes and extravaganza. they will
that it is extremely i'm
IOrtant to attend each primary and
election. Not so many will merely
walk into the voting booth and vote
or the name that sounds the best.
'ut they will make some inquiries
n advance and learn who are the
eal true blue candidates and who ;
re the ''alsO rams" Then we shall
ee the services of government run
more like ordinary business.
