IN RALEIGH TUESDAY
AL. G. Barnes-Sells Floto Menagerie
Now on the Road Loaded
With Ace Features

The AL G. Barnes and ScllS-F1OtC
Combined Circus will exhibit in Ra-
leigh Tuesday, November 1, with $50
people, five herds of elephants, 837
menagerie animals and hundreds OF
beautiful horses doing their best to
live up to the constellation of stellar

features is Gargantua the Great, giant
gorilla, the largest ever exhibited and

ches and has an arm spread of 9 feet.
The engagement extraordinary OF
Bring En- Back Alive Frank Buck,
hero of the jungle and adventure low
ers in all lands, has been a sensation
al success, and his introduction in the
magnificent new opening spectacle, is
something not soon forgotten. The
pageantry depicts Frank Buck return
ing from the jungle with a caravan
of wild animals for the Big Show, the
largest ever captured, and his mag
nificent reception by the Maharajah
and his brilliant court. Five COM
panies of Bengal lancers in intricate
drills and maneuvers are among the
riding participants in the splendid in
augural feature.
Through Bucks appearances Under
the Barnes Sells-Floto big top thro-
ugh special arrangement with the
Ringling-Barnum & Bailey manage
ment, and the influx of his savage
beasts, the circus has become thor

huge groups of performing African
lions, Royal Bengal tigers, Soudana
tallest giraffe in captivity, African
pygn1y elephants, Lotus worlds only
trained hippopotamus and countless
other outstanding animal features.

Wake Forest, Oct. 27.-Without a
doubt, the climax of the current Big
Five Gridiron campaign is scheduled
for this weekend when North Caro-
lima meets Duke at Chapel Hill and
the Demon Deacons of Wake Forest
entertain Clemson's Tigers here on
Gore Field, Friday night. The Dea-
con-Tiger battle is the homecoming
feature for Wake Forest alumni, ard
should present thrilling exhibition of
football. Many fans have signif!ed
their intention of coming TO Wake
Forest for the contest Friday night,
and staying over in one of the nearby
towns that night for Saturdays game.
This will be a fine program.
Saturday afternoon the spotlight
will certainly be over at the Hill
but this certainly will not be until 1t
has shifted from Gore Field and the
Wake Forest-Clemson game Friday
night. These two clubs have been set
ting a fast pace on the gridlron
throughout the present season, and
their meeting here this week will bear
much interest. The kickoff will be at
o'clock.
Besides the football game and the
Homecoming for Wake Forest Alumni,
word from the Clemson campus has
it that many Tiger grads are plan
ming to be in attendance in body.
and they are hoping to make this
kind of a Homecoming for their alum
nj who reside in this section Of the
country.
Local fraternities have declared
open house to all alumni and friends
of both institutions and college Off
Gals are declaring Friday an official
holiday. During the day, the Phi and
Eu Societies will hold their annual
clatorical event. At six-thirty, an
alumni dinner is scheduled for the
returning Wake Forest alumni, with
Mr.. ]. M Broughton of Raleigh in
the principal speakers role. The
fine football game, which starts at
eight, will cap off the day. Friday
will be red letter day for Wake
Forest.
It is needless to tell about the ex-
ploits of the two rival football teams
this season. The Deacons, loaded
with plenty of sophomore material,
have made fine name for themselves
and have been playing great football.
They have won over Randolph Macon
81 to 6, The Citadel 81 to 0, and South

Burns 'Ena Up

Great excitement and indigna-
ton prevailed in AAA yesterday
morning when it was discovered
that Bob Burns in a syndicated
article had cited a purported case
where an applicant for a job was
asked whether he could stand in
one position for hours, to which
the applicant replied that it would
be a cinch because he had been
working for the Government for
Is months ). A group of workers
sent Burns an indignant telegram
relative to the libel and then pro-
ceeded to contact their friends in
several other agencies who prom.
ised to do likewise.

that Civil Service CommiSh is sur

that the almost forgotten White
House declaration that all Govern
menteers should-if possible-be
annuitized is being pursued .
Odd fact is that WPA reliefers in
Government agencies must turn in
questionnaires also, producing a
wonderment as to whether it is
tacitly understood that the jobs
they hold must eventually be made
permanent,

Radio Wisdom

An official of one of the country's big broadcasting companies who is opposed to any definite program of propaganda for South America says "the best propa- ganda is no propaganda" Our South American neighbors, he adds, are already tired of the European bombardment of propaganda to win their favor. An un- favorably reaction is setting in against the best efforts of the European govern ments. If we started similar radio pro- grams at this point we might suffer much Of the disfavor without any of the desired benefits.
 South Americans, however, like good entertainment as much as anybody Our really good programs will interest audi enceS there and will be of value in devel- oping mutual understanding and good feeling There are no radio programs in the world better than the ones broadcast under this country's commercial set-up, say the broadcasters. They are probably right, although many radio listeners in the United States have begun to "react unfavorably" toward the excessive adver- Using and the general noisiness and aggressiveness of many of the commer- cial features.
 Radio is still young and may learn from it's own mistakes and improve with experi- ence. Its opportunities for presenting first class entertainment and excellent educational features are unlimited. The better job it does, the more listeners it will have, in the United States and in foreign lands

BROTHERLY LOVE, TOLERANCE ARE KEPT FOR SPECIAL
 PURPOSES ONLY
Editor, Waterbury Democrat:

Editor, Waterbury Democrat:
 So the pulpits in some of our Waterbury Protestant churches have become political rostrums! We no longer seem to cherish feelings of brotherly love or the Christian spir- 1t to be charitable. Our ministers no longer preach Love Thy Neigh bor" and be sympathetic with those who fall by the wayside. They preach a gospel of hate. They would revive the old A. P. A. feelings and give encouragement to another K. K. K. regime. ...
 We hear Rev. MT. Walker and Rev. MT. Bobilin in tirades that not only reveal a lack of Christian tol- erance, but a well developed hatred of leaders with emphasis on the present City Hall administration. Being newcomers they do not recall that the last Republican admins tration was no credit to Waterbury, and that some of the Good Govern ment boys prof1ted by it. Whey they attack former Mayor Jimmy Walkers administration, they soft pedal the big show of graft and cor ruption that highlighted the admin istration of President Harding. Just an oversight, I imagine. The preachers seem to have one-track mind. They are apparently bankrupt on Christian ideals!
 Why is that the newcomers to Waterbury show a well-developed yen for personal publicity and men of the cloth, like Rev. Dr. Lewis who knows his Waterbury and his Waterburians, who knows that cor ruption is the exception and not the rule in public service in Waterbury maintains a dignified attitude in the present deplorable situation here, preferring to wait for the judgment of an "UNPREJUDICED'' jury before venturing to comment or censure.
 If there is any uncharitable feel ings current in Waterbury in the near future, MT. Walker, be pre- pared to share some of the respon- sibility. Or perhaps you are pre- pared to read about it from some distant part of your beloved Aus tralia!
 All that remains for the comple- ton of the burlesque is to have the Waterbury Y.M,C.A. stage another Brotherhood Day" when religious leaders will crate about brotherly love and Love Thy Neighbor" judge not lest thy be judged. let he without sin, etc. Some of the mem- bers of the Waterbury ministry will probably speak with their finger; crossed. Politics, apparently, is re- placing religion in our churches God help us!
 A LOYAL WATERBURIAN

Fail To Seize Opportunity

With conditions in Waterbury as they are politically it is a striking commentary on the lack of real leadership in the Republican party that it is unable to capitalize the present situation. Instead of the party taking the initiative in any "good government movements, it re- mains for semi-private groups to do this. And the opposition party finds itself no stronger by the apparent Democratic downfall than it was prior to the report of the extraordinary grand jury.
 There can only be one reason for this and that is the G. O. P is not solidly be- hind it's present leaders nor has it defi- mite program by which it can command the attention of it's party members. All of which, while it does not reflect any discredit on the party, still does not make it deserving of praise or emulation A party that cannot step into a breach, such as now appears to exist in Water bury's body polite is lacking in too many respects to hope to be successful.
 At the same time this apparent lack of leadership, confusion, and initiative should give impetus to other groups. Democratic or Independent which might aspire to political greatness. We think the opportunity for an Independent party, one that is not trammeled by desire for office nor lust for power, is particularly good right now. Unfortunately events like these which have just happened here and which will be prolonged as accused officials get their day in court to vindicate themselves have the habit of turning men away from the field of politics to other endeavors. And naturally they can't be blamed

Memorial Day Echoes

Memorial Day will bring up, among other things recollections of the tragic riot, or misunderstanding to how you happen to look at it with which the holiday was celebrated in South Chicago last year Echoes of that event still rever- berate in the news.
 Here is one of the latest echoes. The other day four more suits were filed, on behalf of four workmen alleged to have been injured wrongfully by police and guards while engaged in what the em- ployes and their friends have always maintained was a peaceful parade. That makes 20 such court actions taken in behalf of dead or wounded victims. Damages claimed by the plaintiffs against the steel company total $800,000. Eight more suits are expected, so that the claims may exceed $1 100000.
 In view of these demands, it seems strange that no such suits have been

Is It Civic or Political?

The Board of Aldermen last night failed to agree on a program to be tol- lowed during the course of events attend ant on charges brought against city officials as result of the Extraordinary Grand Jury's investigation and report: Voting along strict party lines the Board of Aldermen, eight republicans and seven Democrats, ordered an investigation of all city departments. It requires the mayors approval If this is not forth coming the probe to be carried out must be passed by tWo-thirds vote over the mayors veto.
 Republican members of the board may regard themselves now as the guardians of the city's fair name, but there is a suspicion that they regard the present situation, too, as fine one to make polit- ical hay. In other words they intend to capitalize the difficulties in which Dem- ocratic officials find themselves. If they didn't have such plan lurking devil- ishly in the background they certainly would wait until some of the charges that have been preferred against Mayor Frank Hayes and other members of his admin. istration have been proved in court.
 Governor Wilbur L. Cross seems to have taken this attitude with regard to his lieutenant-governOr. He prefers to await 2. fair and just trial of the accused in an Impartial court before subjecting anyone D the ignoniny of resignation. Our aldermanic body might likewise restrain itself, be just a bit less impetuous and await the judgment of the court rather than accept the report of fact-finding body as a declaration of guilt. This just can't be done no matter how serious the frQIOnt danger the situation.
 Democratic aldermen are to be congrat- ulated for standing firmly behind their party and it's representatives in the face of the under-cover campaigning or Re- publican political leaders. We don't think they are any more desirous than the next man of protecting crime or corruption in government if it exists, but they like wise do not intend to stand by and see officials "railroaded' to make way for oppositionites to make grab.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-05-24

Somebody seems to be trying to start boom for Dr. Edward Dolan of South Manchester as the Democratic nominee for U. s. Senator this fall. It's just bit late for aspiring Democrats to be casting their hats into the Senatorial ring Sena- tor Augustine Lonergan has first call on this honor. He has it by virtue of his long and honorable career in Congress, both Houses, and by virtue of the fact that throughout his term as Senator he has had the courage of his convictions to stand up for what he considered were the peoples rights when they apparently differed from those of the administration. Senator Lonergan has been endorsed by practically all of the state Democratic leaders. True this does not give him the nomination, but it speaks well of public confidence in him. To contest his nomina- ton now means but one thing, forces are afoot in Washington trying to block the first Democratic Senator Connecticut has had in half century,
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-05-24

of this man becoming our acting mayor, they are doing all in their power to unseat him, for fear that this city's affairs might possibly be run as they should be.
 This man that I speak of is none other than Patrick Perriello, chair man of the board of aldermen, a more honest and loyal person is hard to find. Speaking of loyalty, why doesn't the Republican party stick by him. as he has to them for the past fifteen or twenty years? Just imagine treating a man in this manner, after running ahead of his ticket for the past two elec- tions, not to mention the fact that he upheld the moral of the party, that's what they call justice, but l call it just plain rotten.
 So all you straight thinking peo- pie of Waterbury, stick by the man who would never let you down, come what may. He at least has a heritage to be proud of, after all the mayor of New York city is of Italian extraction, likewise the mayor of Los Angeles, California, they seem to be doing well by the people of their respective cities.

Other than being rather uncompli- mentary to the Democratic forces in Connecticut such efforts, if they were sponsored by the administration at Washington, would have the effect of disrupting Democratic forces in this state more than they are right now. One thing, though, that the recent discussion of pr. Dolan's chances brought out was the Well-known Manchester Democrats real status in Washington. His official title is Registrar of the Treasury. An appointive post like this would seem more like permanent job to many persons than an elective one like Senatorship.
