COP. HERE AWAIT ( SIGNAL TO ATTACK
Open Break Looms Be- tween Old Guard, Young
 Element in State

Warfare Letween the Old Guard and the New Guard in the state Re- publican organization still rages. The current issue of the Connecti- cut State Journal, COP. organ which is edited by Clarence G. Will lard, secretary of the Republican state central committee, ridicules and attacks members /of the New Guard faction.
 Willard, whose custer from the state central committee has been urged by New Guard Republicans, was censured by the Merritt Park way grand jury and summoned as a witness by the Waterbury grand jury.
 The article in the current Con- necticut is headed "State Republi- can Picture Stil. Blurred" and re- fers bitingly to Senator J. Kenneth Bradley, former president of the National Young Republicans, Lewis Goodsell, former president of the Connecticut Young Republicans,
 and Robert Gilbert, one of their Ilieutenants.
 Bradley, says the article, recently
 had the embarrassment of hearing
 a prominent Young Republican or ganization state that "the party
 should be rid of others who are vir-
 tuous only because they have not
 been discovered, some of whom are
 shouting the loudest for a party purge"
 The article makes sarcastic refer
 ence to Goodsell, without naming
 him. It says he was dropped from a state job and that he served as
 doorkeeper at a session of the state legislature, mot too imposing a title for a state president, but remunera- tive nevertheless"
 Gilbert, says the article, has been
 on party payrolls ever since holding state office.
 The Willard faction plans to fight vigorously any move to place the state central committee in the hands of Bradley, Republican Town Chairman J. Warren Upson of this city and other Young Republican leaders.
 Preliminary attempts at a truce
 made by G. O. P. members who are
 more or less neutral have met with
 failure, and the question of suprem-
 acy will probably wait to be de-
 cided on the floor of the Republican state convention.

on her thousseau that she was criticized severely. It wasn't pleasant for anyone but Paris shopkeepers and dressmakers to know that a girl could and would spend $8O, for street purse-and buy number of them. Barbara's answer was. "Why are people so hostile because one has a little money?"
 The Golden Girl bought her lat est wish. She became a princess Princess Babs. But even her honey moon wasn't happy. Her Prince, dodging subpoena in connection with the trial of his brothers for theft, skipped out of her private train leaving her to continue a much publicized, husband-less honeymoon.
 Marriage Mishap No.
 That was the beginning of the end. In no time at all, the Prin- cess found herself neglected while her husband, who received a hand some dowry from her, spent most of his time with the polo ponies she had bought for him. Soon she took to writing poerty and set about get ting a divorce.
 When the divorce was granted she married the Danish Count Court Haugwitz Reventlow. Again life seemed set for the girl who bought and bought but never seemed able to find what she wanted. When she recovered from serious illness fol- lowing the birth of son, the world was ready to believe that the poor

We feel we just want to crab and scold. We fel we just want to crab and scold. The Fourth went by with many thrill, Fireworks festivities, fit to kill Too many eats have made us groggy, Camping in picnic grounds trife soggy We make resolve to avoid the beer keg, That we have gobbled our last stuffed egg. The thoughts of hot dogs leaves us pale, We stagger at the sight of ginger ale Reaches and boats-you can have your pick, But either one of them makes me sick! Holidays holidays, we love you yet For normal life now we are set. We'll lay off sandwiches for week, Fresh green vegetables instead we seek For all your celebrations we wouldn't give dime, Well, that is perhaps, until the next time.

It's Affairs Are Handled

Congress was criticized for casual

dress yesterday by N. A. Tolles over

Just 8 of the 96 Senators decided
last week how many dollars you will
have to pay In District taxes this next
year" he said In just three min
utes 1t was all over No hearings for
those who will pay the money. no de-
bate. They didn't even read the bill.
You have right to be disguised
with such treatment at the hands of
Congress. You had chance to speak
your mind last Saturday. and you
spoke without hesitation. Ninety-five
thousand District citizens went to the
polls to vote is to for representative
government. You proposed to put an
end to such casual handling of District
affairs. Taxation without representa-
ton is tyranny"
Defending the income tax, which the
House voted and the Senate eliminated
from the District revenue bill, Mr..
Tolles called the substituted business
privilege tax "a wolf in sleeps cloth
ing" adding:
1T Is really sales tax with a very
