The Dies Committee reported that fin spite of the testimony of many witnesses and the voluminous doc- umentary evidence presented to our committee there is still an attempt to deny that the league is Communist front organization" But from the beginning 1t has been dominated by Communists. Not long ago the s'Hoosier Legionnaire" stated that nine professed Communists were on the board of directors of the league.

 Already known to great many Waterburians, by sight Miss Albert has been receiving congratulations on her success, from her many friends and she will be gathered with them at The Elton on Thurs day afternoon, at a cocktail party, before coming to the Loew Polf theater where she will be the guest of honor, at the special premiere.
 Miss Albert besides being talef1t- ed singer is also known for her athletic ability. When queried as to her favorite songs she smilingly stated that of all songs she prefers two "It's a Sin to Tell Lie' ard Beautiful Lady in Blue" On the matter of dancing she is not the "jitterbug" type rather the graceful waltz and tango are her favorites.
 A rigid course of training con- sisting of many exercises, performed on the floor, are her principal means of indoor exercise, while she loves horseback riding and at golf is quite adept.

Johns Episcopal church, by Dr. Ed ward J. Godfrey, and by others in addresses over the radio. Superin- tendent of Police William J. Roach will speak tonight at 5:55 o'clock over Station WATR in behalf of the Wis., iting Nurse associations campaign for funds.
 Mrs. Roger s. Sperry, president of the association, has reported to the directors of the association that unless the goal of $16,000 is attained, at least one of the services of the Visiting Nurse association will have to be abandoned. It will mean the probable cutting of the staff of nurses, now called upon for care of the sick in Waterbury to the limit of their resource and time. This is due to the prevalence of sickness here during this winter which finds the local hospitals filled to capacity, many persons i'll at their homes.
 Coin cards have been sent out to a large number of persons so that everyone in Waterbury may con- tribute to the fund essential to con- tinuance of the many services of the Visiting Nurse association. There are spaces in the cards for coins to the amount of si.04. the actual cost Of every visit Of Visiting Nurse to some home which, unless she Et- tended to this service, would be without necessary care Of the sick, of a mother. or, in many cases, babies,

to the Visiting Nurse Home, 37 Gen. tral avenue, or to The Waterbury Democrat, which is authorized to receive contributions of any amount a person feels they may give to the csuse. These contributions will be acknowledged, so far as possible, in the columns of The Waterbury Democrat.
 The first of the coin cards was returned to the Visiting Nurse Home yesterday and, instead of contain ing $1.04, it held $1.40, the contrib tutor inserting IA dimes instead of 10 dimes and four pennies.
 Success of the campaign will de- pend on the generous response of the community, of those persons who realize that the public health is Waterbury's most important con- cern, 8 prominent member of the Waterbury Medical association re- marked today. He pointed to the many types of service rendered the community by the Visiting Nurse.
 'It is impossible to estimate the true value of the educational serv- ice of the Visiting Nurse in her training of expectant mothers, her training of mothers with newborn babies" he said. "The start of a life of good deeds, or the other side of the picture, depends to large extent on health precautions around the period before and after birth. A good citizen must have a healthy start in life. And one part of the work of the Visiting Nurse is to see that this is the case"
 The Visiting Nurse association, besides caring for expectant mothers and giving practical demonstrations of how to care for their babies, con- ducts regular well-child conference, mothers classes, and attends to the sick in thousands of Waterbury homes, making 12 to 150 calls every day of the year.
 Upson to Speak
 J. Warren Upson, past president of the Visiting Nurse association, will speak in behalf of the campaign over Station WATR at 5:55 o'clock Friday night and various other speakers will tell of the need for support of the association in its seeking of funds to carry on its pro- gram for public health.
 William J. Roach, superintend-
 ent of police, feels very strongly
 that the work of the Visiting
 Nurses association must not be curtailed. His statement issued for publication is as follows: T wish
 to take advantage of this oppor-
 tunity to express the thought that the work being done by your organization to alleviate the suf- ferings of the sick cannot be ex- celled. This statement is not mere words. but is based on actual ex- perience, for in our daily duties as police officers. we have on in-
 numerable occasions tad to go into homes where we have seen
 the work that is being done by
 the Visiting Nurse association. The poor and unfortunate people need you. and are depending up- on your organization. I hope and
 trust that your appeal will be heard, and that you will be able
 to obtain the necessary funds to- carry on your work of mercy"

Finishing AAA
Con1pliances

College Station, Raleigh, Sept. l.
Field compliance surveys have
been completed on "A percent of
the farms in North Carolina. it was
revealed today by a progress re-
port of Triple-A work issued from
the AAA headquarters office ut
State college. OF tie 218,224
farms listed as e-;gible for AAA
participation, compliance super
visors have visited 161,976 of the
farms and obtained data on acreage
planted to various crops.
Lincoln county was the lirst in
the State to complete all field work,
rotometer work, and the filling out
Of all farm plans, showing the par
ticipation in the program. which is
the final step before application for
payment.
The rotometer work is done in
the county AAA office, and con-
sists of checking field measurements
from aerial photographs Of the
farms.
Field and rotometer work also
has been completed in Union, Har-
nett, Cumberland Columbus, john
ston, Hertford, Martin, Bertie and
Chowan counties. The field work
is complete in Cleveland, Castor,
Pitt, Gates, Washington, Camden,
Scotland and Wayne counties.
E. Y. Floyd, AAA executive Off
Ger Of State college, says that more
farmers in the United States are
complying with the Triple-A pro-
gram this year than in any year
previous. Howev!r, North Carolina
has relatively low percentage of
participation because most tobacco
farmers over-planted their acreage
allOtments following the vote
against quotas in the referendum
last fall
He further said that the State
AAA administration has requested
larger appropriations for soil build
ing practices, but the Washington
office pointed out that Tar Heel
farmers are not carrying out enough
practices to earn for them full pay
ments at present.

the reason that cotton matured

The specialist also said that there
