Just a Bit Hasty

It may have been just natural exuber- ance or the fact that he's serving his first year as mayor that caused Mayor George Coyle of New Britain last week to deliver an ultimatum to potential dele gates to the state convention of the Dem- ocratic party. What Mayor Coyle said in substance was that if any city workers happened to get on the state delegation, which is elected by the direct primary method, they had better get rid of any notions they were going to Eastern Point to vote for Representative Herman P. Kopplemann as a senatorial candidate. New Britain's mayor is for Senator Au- gustine Lonergan, first, last, and always.
 Such hearty endorsement as this is always welcome, but the method of bring ing 1t home to the public was bit dras- tic Such remarks as this have habit of becoming boomerangs. They often do more harm than good. And this may be one of the instances where harm actually can and will be done. The Connecticut Merit System Association has already taken offense at the statement from New Britain and points out wherein 1t of- fends But that isn't the whole story. WHcH d party lcducl puDllCly HldkcS threat about voting for this or that candi- date, series of retaliatory episodes fol- low.
 We do think that New Britain Demo- crats might have got across the idea that they were for Senator Lonergan and wanted state delegation that would be for him in more diplomatic manner As 1t now stands there's apt to be battle for control of the delegation which may be carried right into the November cleo tion. We're afraid that executive author ity was just bit exceeded when Mayor Coyle proceeded to read the riot act to the as yet unchosen New Britain dele gates to Grotons coming convention.

 All the shouting about Roose- velt's feud with John OConnor in New York has almost obscured the fact that an equally obstruc- tionist member of OConnors Rules Committee recently was "purged" in Arkansas.
 He is William J. Driver, with 17 years of uninterrupted Congres- sional service to his credit. in- cluding the pocketing of the Wage-Hour Bill in the Rules Committee.
 Driver was on the CIO-New Deal. black Hist, but . much more important factor in his defeat was the opposition of powerful newspaper.
 c. "Took" Gathings, who de- feated Driver, comes from Crit tenden County, Arkansas, just across the river from Memphis. There the Curlin- Johnson politi- cal faction is amlost as strong relatively as the Crump regime is on the Tennessee side of the river.
 Four years ago Took audacious- ly announced for the Arkansas State Senate. He was just 30. The Curlin- Johnson group was dem- onstrating an arrogance that was boundless. Arrests were made for fees by deputies on little provoca- tion. So The Memphis Commer- cial Appeal sent 8 reporter over to investigate. He was manhan- dled, given a boot to his posterior and told to get out of Crittenden County.
 Subsequently The Commercial Appeal supported Took, who had declared against the Curlin John son regime. A reporter was as- cionoA fn no,,or H{v ra vro,o top onA 1t was even rumored that he wrote Took's speeches. To the surprise and chagrin of the Cur n-Johnsonites, Took was elected to the Arkansas Senate.
 His four-year term was just about to expire when he decided to run for the Democratic nomi- nation for Congress. His opponent had had few real adversaries in previous races, and apparently didn't consider Took one. For he made only a perfunctory cam paign, speaking once with Sena. tor Hattie Caraway at Blythe vile and once at Helena.
 One of Took's relatives asked Congressman Driver: What about the race, MT. Driver?"
 He replied: "Well, it's mighty nice for the boy to get around the district and meet nice peo- pie"
 But the people Took was visit ing were people in the hinter- lands who had never seen their Congressman. He was telling them, Drivers been in Congress 20 years, drawn $200,000 in sal- aries-and what has he done?"
 The Curlin- Johnson faction re- fused to take Took seriously, but when the votes were counted, Took Gathings gathered 347 more than Congressman Driver.

A Book a Day
She Learned About SuWanee


 The new Rivers of America" series apparently is going to prove one of the best ideas any publisher ever had. The third book in the series is "Suwannee River, by Ce- cile Hulse Matschat (Farrar & Rinehart: $250), and like its pre- decessors 1t Is excellent.
 As Mrs. Matschat says, the Su- wannee is the most romantic of all of Americas rivers. Its name is mu- sic, 1t is forever associated with one Of the loyeliest of American songs and picturesque history has been made along its banks. The Mayas are said to have visited 1t, long be- fore the coming of the white man. Fierce Indian battles were fought by It's shores: later, stately plantati tions were cultivated in its valley, and a wealth of legend grew up about it.
 Most romantic of all is the story or the rivers source. It rises in the great Okefenokee Swamp, which is terra incognita even to naturalists and geographers, and which is peo- pied by an isolated group of folk who speak archaic Elizabethan Eng fish and know nothing whatever of the outside world--which they call, simply, "Ameriky."
 Mrs. Matschat went far into the Okefenokee and lived with these people. The greater part of her book is devoted to them and a fascin- ating story 1t makes. The people are interesting, the swamp itself Is interesting and the author knows how to describe what she has seen. The result Is a book that is uncommonly hard to put down. This series on American rivers offers American history in . new and exceedingly entertaining form. "6uwannee River" will certainly de- serve q place near the head of the whole Beries.

Selected Poem
I LOOKED IN WONDER
Dorothy Hope McCroden in the Christian
 Science Monitor)

Dorothy Hope McCroden in the Christian
 Science Monitor) once, standing on little hill, AZ country maids in summer will, l looked in wonder on the night, And counted seven strange things white. The white sea ran along the land In drifts like driven snownakes, and Light from white star tumbled down lone white steeple in the town. tangled field of daisies stood In moon-struck silence near the wood, And birch trees leafy crest white owl barred its feathered breast. So many white things strange and still saw upon the quiet hill, With shaded eyes fingered long To weave them all into a song: And when turned to leave the place, My hand was white before my face.

A group Of eight water colors BY

at the New York Public library, TO
be open to the public from tomorrow
TO Oct. IS.
The exhibition, loaned to the IL

by Julius Delbos, noted Anglo
American painter.
Four Of Miss Churchill's paintings
are scenes Of Taxco and Oaxaca,
Mexico, from her trip to that coun-
try last winter. The other four are
New England subjects. Miss Church-
ills and Mr.. Delbos' paintings DER
an interesting contrast In style, the
former being an exponent of the

ing, while Mr.. Delbos uses an en-
tirely different approach; his work
Is often almost severely plain, with
out brilliant colors, yet no less eff
fective.
Miss Churchill was born in New

eled extensively and her series of
watercolors of Europe, the Orient,
