Much Speculation

More than passing interest attaches to the ruling by Judge Alfred c. Baldwin that G. Leroy Kemp may examine min- utes of the Fairfield County grand jury. MT. Kemp at the present time is facing trial on charge of having conspired to defraud the state by splitting land com mission fees with clients. Through coun- sel he has maintained that the progress of the grand jury has been unconstitu- tional in that certain rights were denied him, at the same time being granted the state.
 One cause of complaint was that the prosecutor was allowed in the grand jury room when the accused himself was tes- tifying. We wonder though, if Kemp's counsel achieved it's objective from Judge Baldwin. While he ruled that minutes of the jury's deliberations be made avail able to Kemp, he stipulated that they be minutes of deliberations that concerned him specifically. This would not neceS- sarily throw open to the accused realtor every bit of information that the jury had obtained in it's lengthy hearings at Bridgeport.
 But Judge Baldwin's ruling may be only the beginning. AS It was pointed out when he delivered it, the result might be felt right here in Waterbury, where another grand jury hearing has just been resumed There is no telling where this demand for constitutional rights might be carried. It might even remove the veil of secrecy from the focal sessions, although many claim that this has already been done done, too, without any danger of anyone mourning penalties by going against what was practically an order from the authorities when the jury probe began in this city.
 The main lesson we can derive from the Fairfield County investigation and the current court ruling is that man can be called guilty of many things; terrible allegations can be brought against him; but until proved guilty or pleading his guilt inalienable rights are his. Even the Courts have the utmost respect for them and apparently will continue to entertain such respect.

Balancing The Budget

State officials are endeavoring to report balanced budget when the cur rent fiscal year ends on June 30. Right at the present time they are able to an- nounce that the states general fund showed a slight surplus at the end of an 11-months period. Even State Finance Commissioner Edward F. Hall could not positively state this week that this sur plus would be maintained through the rest of the month and the state find its ledger in perfect balance when income and expenditures were figured out on June 30.
 This much is certain the surplus or the deficit will not run very high. This in itself is most encouraging, we think, in view of conditions and the demands that are now being made on state depart
 ments, particularly those concerned with the relief and welfare problems. These are mounting ones and that the several departments concerned can round out this fiscal year without throwing the entire financial machinery of the state entirely out of gear is creditable indeed.
 While much has not been said about the general deficit of the state, we pre- sune that plans of last winter, calling for it's retirement through sale of bonds, will be followed out It will be recalled that the 1887 Legislature voted $25,- 100000 bond issue, the first the state has approved in many years, it's purpose to be retirement of the states deficit and utilization of money left over for an insti- tutional building program. The amount to be spent in the latter fashion will be determined, more or less, by the size of the deficit at the close of the fiscal year.
 It is safe to assume that the deficit will not be as great as it was when the state legislators were deliberating on the amount of the bond issue. It was close to $15,000,000 then and higher amount was anticipated. But good management and increased tax returns enabled the deficit to be lowered considerably with the corresponding expectation that more millions would thus be made available for our state institutions. We still trust that hopes in this direction won't be blasted.

The antipathy that now exists between most countries seems to affect somewhat ones feeling for participation in festivals abroad, Olympics and whatnot. We find ourselves not too eager to visit certain countries where culture was once to the front, perhaps still is, but in specialized fashion. That is to say, enjoy only what you are told to enjoy; eat what you are told to eat, etc., etc. There are now vary ing opinions about holding the 1940 Olympic games in Japan. The director of athletics at Harvard University feels that there is impropriety in this pro- cedure, and many European countries as we'll as our own disapporve the holding of the games in Japan. It is question if matters would be helped any by any such rebuff to that country We might prefer that they were held in some other country, but does the actual boycott help matters in the long run? It would prob ably be very bad for them and for us as well, much as we might wish Olympics were to be held in some other country. It is rather generally conceded that boy cotting is not very bright or clever pro- ceeding.

Candy Is Food

The state of Ohio put on a sales tax rather early in the depression. Later, it made food exempt Candy was not con- sidered food by the tax authorities. The other day two judges, one in Cuyahoga and one in Summit County, decided that candy was indeed food and was therefore not taxable. This decision gives great joy, naturally, to candy buyers and candy sellers. (The tax collectors are not so happy, but that's another story)
 At just about the same time, chemists in convention in New York were declar- ing that candy is not only food but a useful one. That four o'clock fatigue, so aptly dispelled by the English with their cup of tea, two Jumps, please, their thin bread and butter and their frosted cakes, calls on this side of the water, say the chemists, for two or three pieces of choc- olate candy. And it's not candy that spells the teeth, they say, but rather same deficiency in the diet.
 So little John and his sister Sue may now request their after school sweets with hope of success. Parents may buy them with clear conscience. And in Ohio, if the judicial decisions are allowed to stand, from now on there will be no tax Buying candy is going to be morally and financially easier.

Concerning the Wagner Act the Hart ford Courant states editorlally: "No other piece of New Deal legislation has done more to create unemployment and retard recovery, and whether the Presi- dent would have it or not (the laws modification), nothing is more certain than that this law will be so modified as to conform to the elemental requirements of even-handed justice. And speaking of the improvement of labor conditions in England following the adoption of the British Trades Disputes and Trades Unions Act of 1927, the editorial contin- ues, "these and other requirements have largely put an end to labor racketeering and have made for industrial peace in Great Britain. If similar provisions were written into the Wagner Law similar happy conditions might be expected to prevail here."

Riddle who came to this country, before William Penn, also was born abroad"
 After Riddle was excused, Re- publican Jenkins suggested that no action be taken on the gen- eral counselship that day. Demo. cratic Brown objected to this, contending that more than enough time had been consumed on the matter. Senator Vic Donahey, Democratic chairman of the com mittee, sided with Brown, who then moved that Riddle be ap- pointed.
 Jenkins thereupon placed Sea- bury's name in nomination. But there was no second and Riddle remained the only candidate. The ballot was unanimous-except for Jenkins, who voted mo-, and Davis, who to the startled amaze ment of his colleagues voted present..
 Why the beefy little Pennsyl- vanian reversed himself so abruptly he did not reveal. His only comment was to remark to Brown and other Democratic members of the committee, ''You fellows missed your calling. You should have been actors instead of senator's"
 NOTE-Since then Davis has told friends that he did not vote for Riddle because he did not want to appear to be favoring a man from his home state. He did not explain why, before Biddle's name was proposed, he had recommended another Philadelphia lawyer.
 Hats Off to British
 The British embassy garden party, most famous and sought after social gathering of the spring, was featured this year by one great problem-what to do with a gentleman's hat.
 Being out of doors, most men did not know whether to take their hats off or leave them on. It was warm, no place was provided for checking hats, and most men, faced with this dilemma, looked around nervously at their neigh bors, finally took their hats off and held them in their hands.
 But when they got to the re- freshment tables 1t was awkward. To balance a plate of ice-cream or cup of tea in one hand, with 8 hat in the other, required as much skill as 8 juggler's.
 Only two men solved the prob lem without hesitation. One was Portuguese Minister Bianchi who, being used to garden par- ties, kept his silk topper squarely on his head. The other was bewhiskered Senator J. Ham Lewis of Illinois, who came to the party dressed i'm purple pants, purple coat tails, and to cap the ensemble a Western cowboy hat. The latter he kept on his head, except when he performed . typical Ham Lewis bow over the hand of . lady.
 NOTE-Cakes and waters for the British garden parties are irn- ported from a firm in London, in which the British royal family holds a large block of stock.

compactS as have been entered into by New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts and Connecticut. The federal government simply would step in and undertake the works de- sired.
 It is the theory of the bill that state wherein flood works are to be installed, such as Vermont or New Hampshire, would have no power to veto project if the federal gov- ernment desired to undertake it. It is against this provision that Sena- tor Austin raises the question of constitutionality. This claim would be that, except for purposes of na- tional defense or to improve navi- gation, the federal government has not more rights upon streams wholly within a particular state than 8 private person or corporation would have and is similarly restrict ed by state laws. If such claim is sound it rests upon the federal Con- stitution which cannot be set aside merely by passing law.
 To undertake to say whether the claim is sound and the federal gov- ernment could be estopped from development which the state did not want, opens 8 question to ocompli- cated to attempt to decide.
 In order to build dams and reser- voirs, the federal government, of course, would have to buy or con- demn land. Vermont and New Hampshire may contend that the federal government has no power of eminent domain except as the states grant it through their courts.
 The bill carries out the spirit of the original Mccormack proposal, which would have permitted the secretary of war to go into one state for flood control work, even against its will, upon the petition of another state. That is vicious proposal, whether constitutional or not. Con- stitutional or not. Connecticut would so contend if her authority over her own non-navigable streams were so jeopardized.
 New F''- md will not like the pro-
 he federal power com- ther than the United States army engineers, shall decide what dams shall be built for power as well as for flood control. That puts emphasis on power when flood control is primarily desired. In many instances flood control and power development are incom- patible and the latter may be had only at the expense of the former.
 The flood control bill is gen. eral measure, not concerned merely with New England projects. There may be places in the nation to which provisions objectionable here may be beneficial.
 The final form of the bill is vet to be determined. It will go to con- ference and the house may or may not be willing to accept the senate provisions. It may not be passed before congress adjourns. It may be vetoed if passed, though probably not.
 It is to be viewed therefore as potential rather than actual law. From the New England standpoint its bad features are not offset by the fact that it would relieve this 4area of all expense connected with
 flood control.
