Leavenworth IS, Crosby 3.
 The new league got of to very auspicious start with the crowd far exceeding the fondest expectations of the sponsors.
 Right now Leavenworth looks like the "class" of the league, but with two rounds to be played, the other three clubs are certain to give Coach Reiger's lads plenty in the line of trouble.
 A natural" looms on the sched- ule for Monday night with the two winning teams, Wilby and Leaven- worth scheduled for Diamond No. l.
 Sacred Heart high has but four teen boys out for baseball, but nevertheless Rev. John Dial and Coach Johnny Sheehy are making the most of the material and are moulding pretty fair ball club to- gether.
 Although "Rube" Ruffino's hit ting and Mike" Thompson's pitch ing were the highlights of the Leavenworth victory, young Joe Cavanaugh, the smallest man in the league, did some mighty stick work for Crosby getting two out of three. Joe played centerfield for Jack Manherz' charges for five irl- nings, then came in and pitched two, allowing two hits and striking out three. Joe's dad is an insurance man while young Joe himself is well known as a tap dancer.
 Al Sonny" Pronovost. member of the Parochial-Public umpiring staff was assigned to handle the Wilby- Sacred Heart game when Charley Gerace the regular lump" sent word to league director Bill Derwin, that he was laid up with the gripps. Charley will be back in time for Monday nights games and has been assigned to the Crosby Sacred Heart contest.
 The work of Charley Shorty" Gugielmo who did the umpiring of the Crosby-Leavenworth game was the topic of much favorable conn ment. Shorty" handles his job in real big time manner and is one of the best arbiter prospects that have come up in some time. Shorty" will handle the big Wilby-Leavenworth affair Monday night.

Advice To Fathers

When young boys are brought before juvenile courts on various delinquency charges, the judge usually gives them stern lecture on their wayWardneSS and points out where they will end up if they continue along the same path. Recently 40 such youths stood before Judge Frank Bicek in Chicago juvenile court. Some of them were repeaters and all must have expected the usual warning. Instead, Judge Bicek called in their fathers.
 "I find that one of the outstanding causes of juvenile crime is parental ne- glect," said Judge Bicek, himself father. By that mean failure to recognize that children have problems as well as parents These problems must be solved and it is our job as fathers to see to it that these immature minds have help and sym pathetic understanding in solving them.
 "The job of rearing children is not a parttime job. If done right, it is the most important business in the world. It pays the geratest dividends. Let me advise you. Get to know your boy. Live his everyday life with him. Love him and let him know it. Respect his ideas but try to guide him. That is the way, the only way to be father"
 The men shifted their feet, surprised and dismayed at the strange departure from court procedure. It had been many years since any had received lecture. But every father in the land knows that each of those 40 fathers went home that night vowing to follow Judge Bicek's advice.

New London's Project

New London now seems definitely com mitteed to the Ocean Beach project. The city fathers have set price on the fam ous shore resort and date for condem- nation of the properties needed to round out the proposed ocean-front park. Almost 50 acres of land will be acquired by the city at total cost of $1,018,278. August is the deadline for paying own- CTS the price that will be set on their holdings.
 New London will some day take a lot of pride in it's ocean park, probably the only one of it's kind along the Connecticut coast. It will certainly increase the pres tige of the Whaling City. The officials have proceeded rather cautiously in their plans for development of the shore areas that were devastated last fall by the hur- ricane and perhaps their caution will repay them in the long run.
 Certainly it can't be said that the city plunged into this project without giving 1t careful consideration as to where funds might be obtained to finance it or that it's value ten years hence might not be ample recompense for the initial expen- ditureS.

How Much Freedom?

With Fascists and Communists wing with each other in trying to impress the country with the others dangerousness, we are probably in for a flood of restrictive laws against both. How far can a de- mocracy go in defending itself against subversive elements without sacrificing the freedom essential to it's own nature? That question is going to lie at the bot tom of all such efforts.
 No sane person questions the right and the duty of every government to protect itself against forcible and irregular over turn. This is especially an obligation of such a government as our own, which makes adequate provision for orderly change whenever the majority wish it.
 One could go farther and fare worse than to turn to the words of the late justice Holmes in defining his idea of proper limitation of free speech: The question in every case is whether the words used are used in such circum- stances and are of such a nature as to create a clear and present danger that they will bring about the substantive evil that the state has right to prevent. It is a question of proximity and degree"

Legislative Committees

The value of the legislative committee was discussed recently at the 9th annual Institute on Public Administration of the Connecticut League of Women Voters held in New London. It seemed to be the con- census of the speakers that the legislative committee was the best means devised so far for aiding in the work of the General Assembly. The question might be asked what the Legislature would do if it had uo special groups to which it could refer proposed laws for study and public hear ngS before approval or rejection Ill both branches?
 It is necessary that all proposed legisla- sion be grouped and classified. It IS also necessary that the general public be given an opportunity to express its opinion on the merits of any proposed law. Some division of the lawmakers must be made so that this can be done conveniently. And the committee hearing seems to be the solution that is not only logical, but also the very best way we have. Ii we eliminated it we would be forced to change considerably the present set-up of a leg iSlative session.
 However, we do feel, as do great many other people and officials, that the Gen. eral Assembly is put to much trouble and needless expense by working without much of pattern We have tried to rem- edy this in recent years by creation of the Legislative Council but we don't think that the value of this group is as yet appreciated Either that or legislators don't care to have their working schedule mapped out for them and want to pro. ceed independently The advantages of having an agency weed out laws that should be removed from the statute books, conderse others, and propose new ones are obvious We shouldn't ignore them.

Taken For Granted

We wondered if the proposed oath that State Education Commissioner Alonzo Grace recommended for all teachers in Connecticut might not find many people wondering as to it's purpose. It was very fine oath that the commissioner drew up and preached publicly recently. Reading down through it one could not help but marvel at the fine expressions of Ameri- canism and community loyalty that it reflected. But as the Hartford Times so aptly put it." . they may ask you why they should pledge to do something which they reasonably might be expected to do and will do in the normal course of their work and conduct"
 Here in Connecticut the teaching pro- fession has always been extremely loyal to community, state, and nation. There never has been any need, that we know of, to compel the profession to swear allegi- ance to any particular cause. The indi- vidual members are no different than the members of any other profession with respect to their civic duties With the deepest respect for Commissioner Grace's proposed oath and hearty appreciation for its intrinic value, we wonder if it is at all necessary.

PARKWAY TOLLS
(New York Tines)

There appears to be justifiable op- position on the part of Westchester County to the action taken by Con- necticut under which, toll of 10 cents will be imposed on motorists using the pres ent completed portion of the Merritt Parkway. The purpose of the act signed by Governor Baldwin in- stituting this charge is to create a special fund to provide for an exten- sion of the parkway to Hartford. The chairman of the Westchester Board of Supervisors has announced that as a retaliatory measure he will advocate imposition of a 10-cent toll on the Hutchinson River Parkway, which is the connecting link with New York for Merritt Parkway traf- fic. The Westchester County attor- ney holds that this can be done legally under the county's new char ter.
 Whatever is done, the motorist will be the sufferer. Already he pays large share of the total taxes in this and other States, through reg istration fees and gasoline taxes
 much of which goes to uses other
 than road improvement and main- tenance. He has proved that he IS willing to pay tolls for new construc- tions, especially bridges and tunnels which offer manifest new conven- fence, in order to make such prof. ects self-liquidating. It is one thing
 however, to impose a toll at the opening of new bridge or stretch of parkway and quite another tc place a toll charge on one already in
 use as a free road in order to fi- nance an extension.

Connecticut's economical policy for the next biennium is already starting to take it's toll The State Board of Fisher ies and Game is forced to close the Farm ington wildlife sanctuary exhibit for lack of funds to finance it's annual upkeep. Actually loss in revenue through issu- ance of hunting licenses is blamed for the closing It is anticipated that the de- cline this year will reach $8,O00. It costs from $5,000 to $7,500 year to maintain the sanctuary. There are certain ex- penditures which, by law, must come out of license money, so the Pennington ex- hibit, which has attracted much favor able comment and constantly-increasing attendance by the public, was decreed as the service that must be dispensed with. Efforts will be made, of course, to place the birds and animals in suitable homes if they can't be set free in the open. The sanctuary, of course, will remain as such for wild life that inhabits it.

and Chic Johnson. New York well comed Streets of Paris" for the summer time and clapped hands across the sea.
 It's called Streets of Paris" |" but it isn't, really, because the cast is an international conglom- eration. There are two knock about comedians named Abbott and Costello in it whose 1orefath- CTS may have hailed from Bur- gundy, but they themselves are American ex-burlesque men and darned funny, too.
 There's Brazilian miss named Carmen Miranda who is all sex appeal and all-tropical and a Vi- ennese miss named Della Lind who would win hands down in any beauty contest.
 And there's Bobby Clark, who has been nowhere French south of 42nd street and who still wears those painted-on spectacles.
 Where, then, is the Gallic ap- peal? Mainly in Jean Sablon, the crooner from the Champs Elysees who for the past five years or SO, has made Frenchwomen swoon at the sound of his gramophonic voice. He's handsome, girls, even though we'd rather listen to Bing Crosby. And then there are the showgirls and chorineS who would make a rowing males eyes go in their direction in Montmartre, Montparnasse or Columbus Circle. MILLION DOLLAR
 MADNESS
 And the sister show to this Parisian pudding, I mean "Hellza- poppin," continues to be the visit- ing f1reman's delight. The other night, a statistical gent clocked 329 laughs during this lunatic carnival, between curtainrise and curtain-fall. And those maniacal comedians, Olsen and Johnson, still have to be put away in a straitjacket every time they finish a performance, so they won't go out and wreck the town.
 They say that 'Hellzapoppin" will earn a couple of million dol- lars before it's through and at the rate of its current popularity, a couple of millions seems modest. SHE BELONGS

Rhode Island is intent on protecting motorists from themselves Therefore, it has just ordered 25 "jalopies'' off the highways as unfit for use on public thoroughfares. This is the result of in- spections of 1000 cars by police. Some 300 cars were also sent to the repair shops and can't be used again until necessary repairs to mechanical equipment is completed. This is just the same thing that Connecticut was doing up until 1889 when the Republicans decided it was lot of Democratic nonsense. More and more states, though, are endorsing the com pulSory inspection idea.

Naval officials have kept it deep secret, but they have un- covered instances of sabotage on American warships in the past. They also admit that sabotage is relatively easy.
 For instance, one, case of sabo- tage burnt out the fire control room on the USS Colorado sev- eral years ago. Later it was dis covered that someone had ham, mered photograph needles through the cable connecting the fire con- trol room (from which an officer directs the fire of tiie big guns) with the gun turrets.
 These cables contain a score of small wires, and the needles cut the insulation between the wires, causing short circuit.
 After the control room of the Colorado was rebuilt, the navy found ph0nograph needles stuck into the cables once again.
 On a submarine, the disconnect- ing of communications wires or valves could easily, mean disaster. If the three submarines were sunk by sabotage, naval officers believe the strategy was to instill fear into democratic navies just before the Japanese-Germa squeeze play on Britain and Poland.

not agree with the Gentleman's viewpoint" Woodrum said nothing. CZECH REVIVAL PLANS
 Confidential plans have been made by the beleaguered citizens of Czechoslovakia to carry on the same campaign in the United States that led to the formation of the new state at the close of the World War.
 To that end, Eduard Benes, exiled president, will come to Washington June 28, visit key per- sons here, and then sail for Eu- rope on July 12.
 Replacing him as a sort of wan- dering ambassador in the United States will come Jan Masaryk, son of the late Czech president and more recently Czech minister to London. Young Masaryk is 8 bet ter mixer than Benes, speaks bet ter English, and will devote him. self to rallying Czech sentiment in America.
 SUBMARINE SABOTAGE?
 There is no possible way that the question can be settled, but U. s. naval officers, in common with other experts, suspect sabo- tage in the sinking of three sub- marines in rapid succession in the fleets of the United States, France and Great Britain-all democratic countries.

NEW HIGHWAY MARKINGS
(New York Times)

New York State has decided to take another step which should in- crease the effectiveness of its eff forts to prevent highway accidents. This is the new method-f0r this state-of marking traffic lanes for the surer guidance of the driver and his definite instruction as to when he may leave the lane in which he is. Motor Vehicle Commissioner Medley explains that broken line painted on the highway surface and made up of a series of fifteen foot dashes with twenty-five foot space between them merely defines lane which driver may cross with care. Where both such broken line and a single solid line appear, the driver may not cross when the solid mark ing is on his side of the highway, but may cross with caution when the broken line is on his side. Such markings are to be used on hori- zontal and vertical curves and will be governed by the sight distances available.
 Most important of the new mark ings is to be a double solid line, to be used on hills and curves where sight distance is limited to 500 feet or less. These lines, each four inches wide and with a space of four inches between them, definitely prohibit crossing Into another lane. A sirn- liar system of marking has been found of great value in other states. Its meaning is readily grasp ed and almost universally hooded. The institution of the plan in New York should help still further to re- duce the accident toll, which dropped last year to an extent which becomes more gratifying as statistics accumulate. D. L.

China fell to Genghis Khan be- cause the great empire, split in two and worn out by the misrule of a degenerate dynasty. lacked national and military spirit. If China saves herself now 1t will be only through the slow recrudescence of both. The fact that she is still resisting indi- cates that the Chinese peasant has begun to grasp the idea that 1t it is necessary to fight for the ex- istence of his homeland as a na- ton. It is not as strange as it seems, then, that the Chinese gov- ernment is bringing back the ashes of China's most ruthless conqucror to rest in . safe haven away from Japanese exploiters.

D. MilIett, after studying 62 units of 10 great government departments: The average head of government bureau is 58, has served as a chief for 16 years, came up through the ranks of govern ment employees, attended an institution of higher learning, and has made life career of government service.
