SHIRLEY TEMPLES
 PONY WITH CIRCUS
Famous Pet to Appear Here in Junior League
 Indoor Attraction

There's one circus in the United States that doesn't hole up for the winter soon after school-bells begin to ring. It never stops travelling around from place to place with its merry clowns and menagerie of ami mals, keeping alive all year the tra- ditional gaiety of spring when the circus comes to town.
 Visiting Waterbury for the first time, this wayward straggler from the circus fold will arrive here on Friday, November 18th, by arrange ment with Junior League of Water bury, Inc. and Waterbury Womans Club who have undertaken to spon- sor Q performance for local children at the Waterbury Woman's Club. Known as the Gangler Circus, the show carries the banner of Junior Programs, Inc, non-commerclal or ganjzation devoted to the presenta- ton of selected entertainment for young people.
 Proud of it's newest acquisition, the Gangler Circus boasts of Shirley Temples own pony, the one movie goers will recognize as having played with its young mistress in the motion picture, "Curley-Top". According to the circus press agent, he is, of course, the most intelligent pony m the world. He knows the right an- swers to practically anything, shakes his head violently whenever he's told something is wrong, mods en- Enthusiastically when it's right, and uses his feet not only for graceful dancing, but also for mathematics. Famed for having attended college in California, the pony will paw five scrapes when given two and three to add.
 But the Gangler Circus educated pony comprises only one feature of the show. There are performing bears, goats, monkeys, chickens, roosters, cats, and round dozen of acrobatic dogs capable of unbeliev- able feats of danger and skill. All these besides the wild animals - a spotted leopard from the jungles of Malaya. fiercest killer of the tropics; a baboon from the forests of Africa, one of the largest animals in the monkey tribe; comical squealing pig.
 And best of all, the clowns, bevy of three whose antics have wiped the frowns from many face.
 Managing to combine in compact unit the full flavor of circus excite nnent, the Gangler show opens with a performance by it's twelve acrobat1c 1 dogs. Each sitting under his own parasol grouped in a semi-circle facing the audience, the dogs re- spond, one by one, as their names are called, and turn Somersaults, leap amazing distances, balance pre- cariously on practically every DOT tion of their anatomies but the tips of their tails, and otherwise amaze spectators with their dexterity and intelligence.
 There are performances by every animal in the menagerie, even to the squealing pig, the hens and the rooster, all interspersed with the jolly merrymaking of the clowns.
 Not the biggest circus ill the world, but certainly the best of its size, the Gangler show promises local young sters a refreshing respite from the routine of classroom duties. Rain or shine, the show goes on at two o'clock.

While Judy stood there, staring ct them, her heart was beating thunderously. Her throat was bathed in color. How dared they! In Mar vel's eyes was glinting amusement, wicked triumph, that she had added this crowning insult to all the others. Maid of honor at the wed- ding which would marry the man she loved to this red-haired, green eyed heiress.
 For a moment Judy wanted to let the words that crowded to her lips fay them and scorch them She wanted to beat against the SmugneSS of their complacency; she wanted to tell them the bitter things that stirred in her heart.
 But of course, she couldn't. She knew that in second. No matter what she said, she'd have to be polite. So, to gain a few minutes in which to get back her self-control,

. STORIES
 IN STAMPS
Quit Politics, but Pierce Become President

HANDSOME, genial Franklin
 A Pierce first tasted the thrill ol politics as a rising young lawyer of 25, serving in the New Hamp. shire legislature. By 1882 he hao become speaker of that body, and the following year he entered the United States House of Represen. tatives.
 So, he assumed, his political ca. reer was cast. A friend of Presi. dent Jackson, he supported ad- ministration measures, and in 1897 he stepped up to the Senate. But there his disillusionment began.
 For, once in the upper house, Pierce, being it's youngest mem- Der, found himself sadly over- shadowed by a galaxy of older and wiser heads, such as Benton and Clay and Webster. Before long Pierce saw he could make no great headway, and resigned his seat to return to the practice of law at Concord, N. H., where he became federal district attorney.
 In 1845 he was offered the nom. ination for governor of his state, also an appointment to fill an un- expired term in the U. S. Senate, and the next year the position of attorney general in Folks cabinet. But he rejected them all. Pierce was determined to stay out of poli- tics.
 Yet six years later the turn of events found him drafted as a Clark horse" candidate for the presidency on the Democratic ticket and he was swept into of fee. He is shown here on a stamp of the new U. s. regular series, enlarged. c

DUCE'S SUGGESTION
Over the weekend, Mussolini
had suggested to Franco that he
cease bombing British ships. At
the same time, Franco rejected a
peace proposal put forward by
Francisco Largo Caballero, former
premier of Spain and ex-leader of
the Spanish socialists.
Franco turned down the sugges.
ton on the grounds that Italian
Premier MuSsolini had promised tc
see him through to complete vic
tory when he started the Spanish
revolt. Franco now feels he is SC
near his goal that he is unwilling
to consider a compromise truce
BRITAIN ADDS PRESSURE
Great Britain is now urging
Mussolini to put pressure or
Franco to reconsider the idea.
One surprising development
over the weekend tended to show
however, that II Duce has less in
fluence over Generalissimo Franco
than generally supposed.

Platters of ham and eggs In the
Interior Department restaurant
this morning received the full
brunt of pent-up militancy which
more than 400 Workers Alliance
delegates brought here from New
York to direct against Harry
Hopkins and James Roosevelt.
The delegates had planned a
protest against a WPA order
limiting wage and material ex.

But before the delegates could
begin to march they received word
that the order had been rescinded.
Under a new order, professional
and technical WPA workers in
New York will receive $98.70 a
month. In other Northern and
Western cities the rates will be
$94 a month.
When the Alliance delegates as
sembled at the Interior Depart
ment they began clamoring for
the guards to open the doors so
they could eat. After an hours de-
lay the restaurant was opened to
them. The delegates decided to
meet later in the day to decide
how well satisfied they are with
the new order.
