SECOND STORM
 IS COMING EAST
Western Residents Are Still Digging Out of
 First Big Blizzard
(By United Press)

The second heavy snowstorm in three days was moving east from the Rocky Mountains today and midwestern cities and communities, still digging out from one blizzard, were ready for another.
 U. S. Forecaster 0. A. Donnel at Chicago said the weather map in- dicated that the snow would be heavy and would be accompanied by strong winds. He said the storm resulted from e low pressure area which formed over Pueblo, Colo, and which was centered today over northern Nebraska. If the center of the pressure area swerved to the northeast, he said, they may be only 0 one or two inch fall in the Chi- cago area, where l4.9 inches fell Monday.
 He predicted widespread precipi- tation today for all north central states. The heaviest snowfall, he sGid, will occur in some northern and central areas. A light snow was falling intermittently in Chicago early today.
 Temperatures Higher
 Donnel said temperatures would be slightly higher in southeastern areas and lower in the central and southern great plains areas,
 The storm had blanketed Rocky Mountain states with one of the heaviest falls for the area this win- ter. There was i8 inches of snow at Logan, Utah. Sections of Colorado and New Mexico reported from two to eight inches.
 Snow furries were reported along the California coast and San Fran cisco housetops were whitened for the first time in nearly seven years,
 South of the STOW area dust storm was sweeping out of the southwest. It was moving ct high altitude and only traces of 1t were reported in the Kansas City area.
 A storm which had swept the east- ern half of the country and left ct least 5l persons dead, was blowing itself out over New England.
 Passengers Imprisoned
 Thirty passengers were ifnpris- oned for eight hours yesterday on an international ferry from Ogdens- burg, N. Y, on the St. Lawrence river. The boat was finally freed and lowed to Prescott, Can.
 The New York City metropolitan area will have e low temperature | of IS degrees, with rain or snow to- morrow. New York City pavements were slippery and 36 persons were injured in falls.
 Northern New York was blanketed by c IS Inch snow. Six persons were reported dead in that area as 6 di- rect result Of the storm.

among the forces that placed Hit- Ter in power, the two most formid- able were his promise to save his country from the injustlces Of Versailles and his promise to rid the country of Communism. When Stalin sent his apostles of intrigue and his propagandists of hate into Germany there was an immediate rise of nationalism and an im- mediate demand for union. Com munism in Germany was one Of the two great reasons Of Hitler. And not only Hitlerl Practically every dictator in Europe came to power with the promise that he would save his country from the vicious, deadly, relentless seize Of Communism which has Eoney- combed every country in the world with traitors.
 We Catholics need not be re- minded of the sufferings Of the Church in Germany. Yet In spite of its viciousness, the Bishop Of Wuerttenburg tN. 0. W. 0. News Service Nov. 20. 1037) could tell 15,000 pilgrims that the Catholics of Germany were considered by the State as Public Enemy Mum. Der Two"--that though Catholics are hated by the German State, the first great enemy of Germany is Communism. The Church has no sympathy for Nazism and it's philosophy. The Holy Father has condemned 1t as "perverting and
 falsifying the order of things created and commanded by God" And yet h spite of the condemna- ton, in spite of the inhuman and diabolical persecution Of the Church, Plus xI has not broken diplomatic relations with the Third Reich. The Papal Nuncio is still in Berlin, the German Aiil- bassador Is still at the Vatican. Sometimes we wonder why, and we think that perhaps the Pope sees in this tyrant, authorization in person and many times in policy--perhaps the Pope sees in this tyrant, not only an enemy, but perhaps one of the worlds most relentless enemies of Com munism, the greatest scourge in human history. And even seamps may be used for 0 greater case.
 Catholics fin Spain
 As for Spain the position Of Catholics is well known. And in spite of the smoke of propaganda which has been used to hide the real issue of the Spanish tragedy the American people gre gradual ly learning the truth. General Franco broadcasted from Sala- inatca January 10, 1887: "Hidden pacts with Russian Communism, secret agreements with foreign na- tions behind the back of the Con- stitution and the Laws, persecu- ton without truce Of everything representing any spiritual or moral value, or that did not yoke itself to the tuinbril of Muscovitc rcvo- lition--tliat was the Spain Of yesterday" But c new Spain is arising--a Spain which will reflect the glories of old Spain. Tho cause of world Communism has received it's most devastating blow. General Franco has answered that there will be no compromise with C> 1munism. And all this despite . world campaign of falsehood ai 7viljficatjon which Red gold afs. Rcd hatred have tried to cx- tend around the earth.

songs, writes poetry and isn't ashamed to admit any of 1t.
 Kieran is confident of, but unim- pressed by, either his knowledge or his memory.
 He explains his grasp of the worlds fine literature this way: I'm literate. In addition, I grew up with it. My family were all school-teachers My father was a college president. My mother and sisters were teachers. In fact, was teacher" he adds, giving that grin of his.
 Natural history is his first hobby, Art is his second Astronomy his third. Music his fourth.
 He never took a lesson, yet he plays all the masters. T play by ear-mine are big enough" he comments. He taught himself on a player piano. Whenever he came to a hard part he put on @ player roll and observed where the keys drop ped down, then copied. "Im all right as long as there's no real pian- ist around" he says.
 He makes no effort to memorize what he reads and he reads what he likes. When he got out of col- lege he read Blackstone for amuse- ment because enjoyed his com- mentaries."
 When he was working on a con- struction job he read French litera- ture while riding back and forth to work.
 Today, he reads newspapers but few modern books, "It's too much like chewing @ lot of hay before you come to something to eat" he says. T follow old Lafcadio Hearn on the subject of books. Lafcadio

 New York, Feb. l-To the millions of radio fans who gasp, Gosh, how can one guy be so smart?" after listening to John Kieran, the sports writer, on the "Information Please" program Tuesday nights, it can be reported that Kieran CD doesn't think he's so smart, and CD is a personality more amazing than his memory and encyclopedia knowl- edge.
 John Kieran would be a disap- pointment to people who have stud led newspapermen as peresented in the movies.
 He is o short, red-faced blue- eyed, grey-haired, big-eared Irish man with smile like street ur- chin's instead of being strapping, pale face, dark eyed, dark a haired AdoniS with a smile fit to break a maiden's heart. He speaks English, not gutterese, and replies to a uues- ton with an answer instead of a wise-crack. He doesn't wear his hat on the side of his head and his pants are pressed.
 
 When he visits another city he heads for the planetarium or art museum instead of a local gin-mill. When he travels in Pullman cars with some of his friends, he sits in the smoking car swapping poetry in stead of dirty stories, When he rides the subway he reads Tennyson in- stead of smarty magazines, When he has time off he takes walks in the fields or woods to study the flowers, trees and birds. He makes friends with artists and musicians, plays the piano, composes little

New Deal
 Not Sounding Retreat This Year-Still Out To Fight
BY BRUCE CATION Democrat Washington
 CofresDOndent

Washington, Feb, This IS sup. posed to be the big winter Of ap- basement when the New Deal lion ana the business lamb lie down to- gether in sweet friendship. Presi- dent Roosevelt has made pleasant speeches, and the word has gone out that Congress henceforth Is to be It's own boss.
 mut you need look no farther thNn the Presidents recent ap- pointments to see that the New Deal Is as aggressive as ever - ana possibly even less compromising.
 In his last half-dozen nomina- tions to key government positions. President Roosevelt has named ptaunch liberals in most cases, ytalwart New Dealers Far from retreating he is still attacking.
 Here is the current list. Read it, and sec how 1t contradiets 6 wide- spread impression that the New peal is pulling in It's horns;
 
 Attorney general - ex Gov. Frank Murphy of Michigan.
 Secretary of commerce-liarry Hopkins, former WPA administra- tor.
 Supreme Court justice - Felix Frankfurter.
 Labor Relations Board--Donald Wakefield smith.
 Tennessee Valley Authority - sx Senator James E. Pope Of Idaho.
 Interstate Commerce Commis- slon--ex- Congressman Thomas R. AmlIe of Wisconsin. AND THERE'S AMLIE
 Three of these appointments those of Murphy, Hopkins hnd Trankfurter -- have been confirmed by the Senate. The other three have not been acted on yet. Much opposition to the Smith appoint- fnent has developed, leading to rumors that the appointment may be withdrawn. It Is also probable
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-02-01

that there will be fireworks over Amlie's appointment.
 Amlle was one of the most pros nounced left-wingers In Congress. He was q member of the Wiscon- sin Progressive Party, but was commonly looked upon as being considerably to the left Of the La- Policies. He once sponsored . constitutional amendment which would have given Congress power to set up federal agencies author- ixcd to condemn, buy and operate banks and industries. On another occasion he introduced a bill which would have set up "l0 year plan for American business.
 If the business world thought MT. Hopkins e bit of wild man for the commerce job, and looked upon MT. Murphy as somewhat radical for the attorney general ship, It's feelings on seeing MT. Amlic put on the body that han- dles the country's railroad prob- lem may be imagined.
