RADIO HAMS
HEROES AGAIN

WEST HARTFORD, Conn.
March IS Q.N.S).-The "emer
gency coordinator" plan Of mo
bilizing the country's amateur
radio operators during q disaster
passed its first critical test with
flying colors when it was put into
effect during the recent Californis
flood, the office of the American
Radio Relay League announced
today.
An article in the current issue
Of QST, national magazine Of the
league, describes in detail the
scores Of heroic exploits Of radio
amateurs in maintaining com
munication for the relief agencies
and the press during the flood.
An estimated 400 hams
worked day and night in trans
mitting urgent messages to and
from the stricken areas. the article
said.
For the first a hours, accord
ing to the article, newspaper
correspondents depended heavily
upon amateur radio operators in
filing their dispatches from the
following cities: San Diego, e
Centro, Riverside, Redlands, San
Bernard1no and fillmore.

Judges Bill
Early Vote for -Four
More Here Predicted

An early vote on the bill provid-
ing for four additional judges here
was seen yesterday after Chair
man Hatton w. Summers Of the
House Judiciary Committee, rein
troduced the measure already IA
vorably reported to the House.
His action was merely to pro
vide O "clean" bill for House &C
tion. The measure has the sup
port of the Department Of Justice,
and calls for one additional Judge
on the Court Of Appeals and three
on the District Court bench.
A similar bill recently approved
by the Senate Judiciary group cut
the number Of District Court
judges to two.

with cosmic processes in puny,
fitful impatience."
There are some in the Norris
group intent on making Chair
man Harcourt Morgan's wait
for cosmic processes in IVA aS
temporary as possible.
Friends Of Norris Cooke, re-
tired head Of the Rural Electrifi-
cation Administration, started
to work on the White House to
get him this iva vacancy even
before 1t was created. Chances
are against him. Although
Cooke was originally o member
Of the Norris clan, like the de-
posed iva chairman, he no
longer carries the Norris union
card.
A LITTLE private mitigating
"A is going on in the New
Deals official financial quarter
here over the plans to finance
small business.
It centers around bill Of
fered by Senator Pepper CD of
Florida which seems to have
been inspired very unofficially
by the new up and coming H.
nancial force in the Administra-
ton, Chairman Douglas, Of SEC.
Upon this and other high adj
vice, Pepper dictated it. hur-
riedly and slapped it into the
Senate bill hopper. While its
terms are nothing but a basis
for argument in the debate
about what should be done, the
bill does disclose the outline Of
what the left-wing crowd Of fl
nancial thinkers are thinking.
It proposes to take from the
Treasury $500 200, 600 to $1,20O,-
100000 for financing 5 to u
regional industrial banks to
make loans with or without
collateral.
THERE is no argument over
l. the adviSability of promising
easier financing for small busi-
ness, but rigllt.wingers, includ-
ing influential Jesse Jones, Of
RFC, have some doubts whether
this is the proper way. Federal
Reserve Chairman EccleS has
been reported both for and
against it, but seems likely to be
more for than against, while
some of his Federal Reserve CO.
horts are determinedly for.
What it all means apparently
is the subject Is being debated
and no one yet knows what will
come out of it, if anything!
MOT in this connection, the
IN National Association Of Man
ufacturers independently has
worked UP some interesting con-
clusions about the cost Of new
financing from official figures
of the Securities Exchange Com
mission.
These indicate that preferred
stock In amounts over $4,000, 900
could be financed for 81 per
cent while issues Of less than
half a million dollars cost the
astounding amount Of 21.7 per
cent. Common stock issues over
$4,000, 900 are costing 12.2 per
cent while those Of less than
half a million cost 17.2 per cent.
This seemed to prove the
point that the financial system
is geared for large issues only.
However, it does not prove
small business viii necessarily
be better off If their financing
Is done by Government politi-
clans instead Of the bankers.

GEORGIA SPEECH.
STRIKES TERROR.
TOPOLITICIANS.
Presidents Charges
True to Form
BY EARL GOODWIN

Georgia politicians, knocked off
their feet by President Roosevelt's
Gainesville speech, say "that man
is going through our State with
no reverse gear on his machine
and his muffler wide open."
Down there the adoring Demo
Gratis have always followed their
own leaders, and masses upon
masses of voters never knew that
lawmakers had anything to do
with hours and wages until this
recent ruckus over the wage-hour
bill, which many . Southern
statesman has most bitterly op-
posed.
To have the President Of the
United States get UP and tell the
upper classes that they are feudal-
lists, fascists and built on the 1898
model has started a tremor of ter
ror among the politicians who
have always played the game with
the industrialists, but depended
on the wage earners' votes.
TRUE TO FORM
washington observers reiterate
today that the President has
played true to form in his Georgia
address. He never misses an op.
portunity to put over some phase
Of his political theories connected
with a generally higher wage
scale; distribution of wealth via
taxes, which sawed off some Of
the tops of the higher piles OF
profit; public power policy which
will bring down electric light rates,
If not universal Government
ownership.
The South was offering him the
hardest opposition to a wages-and'
hours bill which would set Federal
standards for pay and length OF
daily work. Therefore, the Presi-
dent actually "invades" the South
and puts the industrialistS on the
spot.
WHAT COULD HAPPEN
If he were to go to New England
next week, he could be expected
to tell the Democrats in that cor
ner Of the country that their op-
position to the give-and-take trade
treaties being negotiated with va
rious foreign countries was ex-
actly in line with the fascist pol
icy of mo trade with anybody
but ourselves"
All this leads to the general
thought that the President has in
mind more talks to the people;
possibly a few more fire-side chats
to the people, who have been
aware of an active assault on every
item Of the Presidents program
but who have not heard the Head
Mans side Of the case.
HARD FIGHT IN FALL
It is believed that by the time
the congressional election cam
paign gets under way this fall the
President will have put it squarely
up to the people, so that the voters
will know exactly which Demo
Gratis are supporting and which
ones are opposing principal New
Deal measures. Nor are there go
ing to be any punches pulled in
this fight. The President is ex-
tremely anxious to have the re-
organization bill passed, as he
feels it is a long step toward ad-
m n istrative efficiency. Under
standing here Is that votes against
the main ideas of that program
will subject Representatives and
Senators to political Sniping in
the fall campaign.

ly (the President being on their
side), the feeling Is deep there
that the President may have
built the IVA UP to . danger
Gus let-down. The least they are
saying among themselves Is
that the doctor used q knife
where Salve might have been
more successful. And, further
more, they do not believe the
new chairman is the best man
for the job,
THE triumphant uproar which
J. generally follows a bold
stroke has created a din Of en-
thusiaSm for the step among
presidential advisers, but a few
are wondering If it will turn
out the way the President ex'
poets. "
For one thing the defendant
has not been heard yet. The New
Dealers know in q general way
what material he has and do
not fear it greatly. But they
also know he has been ac-
cumulating it privately for two
years in preparation for his day
on the stand, and they have
respect for his ability to make
the most out Of 1t.
Furthermore, the fact that
the discharge Of Arthur lacked
indisputable legal authority may
ieopardize their own case In
the long run, if the courts and
Congress hold otherwise.
They foresee the possibility
therefore that the whole public
power program may become IN"

Mr.. Bing- BOske Carter
ham, who out-Englished the
English, rose to stress the
"hands-acrosS.the-Sea" stuff and
then went on to say that George
washington was a nice old gen.
tleman in his day, and his
theories were fine old theories
in their day-but times had
changed and George Wash
ington's advice was outmoded
today.
President Roosevelt was
obliged to issue q statement IN
washington to the effect that
George Washington's theories
were, on the contrary, most ap-
plicable these days; that the
United States would adhere
strictly to the Founding
Fathers theories and advice. In
other words, Mr.. Bingham re-
ceived o sound, official spank
ing. ..~-
Kennedy's speech mentioned
the "handS-across-the-sea" stuff
but once; warned Europe not to
get the idea that, America would
not fight unless invaded, but
added that America could also
stay neutral, If her people felt
so disposed: asked for better
economic relations and by and
large made q far better show
ing than had been expected Of
him.
THAT DOESN'T mean how
I ever, that Joe didn't in
dulge in flights of fancy. He re-
ferred frequently to the gen
eral fear of another war" If a
general war should come, he pre-
dicted, I'VE should make our
selves strong"
The statesmen of Europe, and
these who have studied foreign
affairs for decades, insist that
q general war" is further away
today than at any time in the
last is years.
What is going on in Europe
today was planned and pre-
pared for years ago. The states
men know what is going to hap
pen three, four and five years
from now.
~ What is happening is that
Europe is returning to a natural
state of existence, after living
on a false and slowly crumbling
basis since 1919. The German
annexation Of Austria has long
been expected. The absorption
Of Hungary may follow, encom-
passing CzechoSlovakia so much
so that autonomy for the three
and a half million Germans in
Czechoslovakia may be conceded
by the hoSlovakian govern
ment.
Read "Mein Kampf," which
Hitler wrote while he was in
prison and you will find how
close he has stuck to his objec-
tiveS as outlined therein. In it
you will find how he says that
the greatest mistake Germany
ever made was trying to main
tain a vast empire-Spread
throughout the world-but hav-
ing no control of the seas to sup
port that empire from attack.
The next major expansionism
OF Hitler will be in the direction
OF the Ukraine. The Soviets
know thus only too well. That is
why the Communists are franti-
cally trying to whip up senti-
menG-in London with parades
and violence, in the United
States with speeches and invita-
tions and loud support of the
Roosevelt arms expansion pro-
gram-to entice the so-called
democratic nations into aggres-
Sive action that will take the
pressure off Russia.
The Communists don't care
on which end the pressure Is
relieved, as long as it's relieved.
They are just as ansxious to
urge on the United States to
tangle with Japan in the Far
East as they are for Britain
to tangle with Hitler in Eu.

A Thought for Today
Battle Lines Forming

Some of the political parties in Con- necticut are getting an early start for the fall campaign. One of these is the re- cently-formed Labor party of Connecti- cut, the result of the schism in Socialist ranks in this state. At the head of the party right now and it's candidate for goV- ernor, as result of state poll and now convention, is Devere Allen of Wilton. Waterbury is represented on the ticket in the person of Philip c. Brainard, who will be an opponent of Senator Augustine Lonergan.
 It's hard to figure out how organized labor will react to the new party and it's state ticket, but obviously certain or ganized groups of labor are behind the movement for their spokesmen or repre- sentatives are among those already run ming for public office. Ii that is the sase then one wonders why there need be any concern among Labor Party leaders over securing sufficient petition signers to warrant an official place on the ballots this fall.
 Also active right now in another direc tion is the Pulaski Federation of Polish Democratic clubs of Connecticut. Feeling that the federation has done yeoman ser vice in the past for the Democratic party and that recognition is now due it's execu- tive board is seeking place on the ticket this fall. There aren't many places on the Democratic ticket going to be thrown open to the public this fall. The aim right now of the federation is the office held by Guy Holt-state treasurer. He holds it by appointment of the governor, having been named when Colonel Thomas HeWes, appointee-SucceSsor to the late John s. AddiS, asked to be relieved of the duties.
 It would seem as if the federation chose this opening for the simple reason that Mr. Holt has not as yet been on the state ticket and hence can't be termed the vote-getter in his own district that other state officials have proved to be since they were first elected back in 1884 and then reelected in 1886. If that isn't the explan- ation, then the Polish clubs might just as well have announced that they wanted some other place on the ticket, one of which the present incumbent seems as- Sured to be renominated. However, you can't criticize the clubs for announcing their plans well in advance. And fur thermore they have some arguments to back up their claims.
 AS for the major parties and Republican-it's the quiet just be- fore the storm, It will take little warm weather to get them started in earnest. We look for a real pitched battle at the polls this fall There are many factors demanding solid party lines; with so many parties represented, as there seem sure to be, almost anything could hap pen, but we're inclined to think that Con- necticut is going to remain rather conser- vative and stick with the "inS".

tion, etc. On this last shoal the mighty IVA may ultimately be wrecked.
 There have been signs of internal dis cord in the IVA for more than year now. Of course the pressure from private enter prise on this great government venture has been constant. But things are rapidly coming to head. The resignation of TWAS chairman, Dr. Arthur E. Morgan has been asked, but he responds with: Il am nearly sixty years old and many years ago deliberately gave up expectation of a public career. did not seek my present position in any way. It would be pleas anter to resign and do some of the many things am anxious to get at Yet, to sur render the chance to make some contri- button to decency and effectiveness in government does not seem to be the right course.
 Under such circumstances and with such fortnight utterance from the head of the Tennessee Valley Authority, it would seem that only a congressional inspired probe of the IVA and it's activi- ties will definitely end all arguments and either continue it as functioning gov- ernment agency or dissolve it for all time.
