vandy Makes Speedy
Score in Beating
Sewanee, 20.7
BY the Associated Press.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Nov. 1.-THE
high hopes Sewanee's Tigers held
for moving from the Southeastern
Conference football menagerie into
the big top were shattered today by
Vanderbilt's Commodores, long top
billed act, although this year they
have been anything except head
liners.
The score was Vanderbilt IS, Sc
vance Z and meant that Coach Ray
Morrison finally had seen a confer
ence foe fall before his boys this
season and that Sewanee's record
of having never won a Southeastern
Conference contest remained intact.
Finding the men from the noun
tain easy for his first-stringers,
Morrison began his preparations for
the tussle with Tennessee next week
by experimenting with the Commo-
dore lineup.
Vanderbilt counted four times, the
first score coming before the game
was three minutes old.

Down Bridgeport way there's an i'm portant vote coming up before the Board of Police Commissioners next week. On Tuesday evening the board is expected to recommend to the city fathers that parking meters be tried out in the Park City for at least six months At the pres ent time New Haven is experimenting with the meters and inasmuch as we haven't seen a complaint voiced in the press of that city since the first few days we accept such silence as proof that the meters are ok; the motorists like them; they will undoubtedly be continued in- definitely. As in the case of the Elm City Bridgeport will install the meters only on downtown streets where traffic congestion and parking today are seri- ous problems. Several civic clubs have gone on record as in favor of the meters. If New Haven and Bridgeport succumb to the spirit of metering, can Waterbury be very far behind?

NEWS REPORTS BEAR 0UT IM- t. PERIALIsT CHARACTER OF
 WAR, CLAIMS RUSSO

Editor, Waterbury Democrat:
 Another striking evidence of the imperialist character of the useless European war are the news reports of the last few days.
 They show that the fascist im- perialists of Germany and the Brit ish imperialists, led by Chamberlain, are erlergetically engaged in whole sale slaughter of people at home, who are really fighting for freedom and democracy.
 The Hitler gang has unleashed another ruthless campaign of terror
 and murder against the brave Czecho-slovakian people. Hundreds have been-and are being-arrested for their desire for peace and for their fight against the fascist en- slavement which Chamberlain be- trayed theli into. The gory news has been spread all over the capitalist press.
 But there's been hardly a news- paper mention of the equally mon- strous crimes of the pious Chamber lain against the brutally oppressed people of India. One would need a microscope to find the news that the Chamberlain government has just murdered 2l Indians for expos- ing Chamberlain's "war of democra. cy" slogan as a contemptible and bloody sham. One important Indian city has already been put under martial law, following the example of the Nazi butchers who have placed Czech city under martial law. And buried away in the reac- tionary Herald Tribune last Sunday, on Page q, is the following:
 ". Reports indicated that the revolt of native tribes on the North west Frontier of India had assumed serious proportions and that British troops in Waziristan no longer were in control of the situation. Several squadrons of the ROYAL AIR FORCE WERE REPORTED TO HAVE DROPPED MANY BOMBS, but the morale of the rebels was said to be unshaken."
 Bomb the life out of the Indian masses, struggling for freedom from British imperialist tyranny, but it's not important news for the Amer ican press. Above all, does 1t deliber- ately conceal the support of the Ir- dian people behind the Indian Na- tional Congress in it's heroic battle for liberty and peace.
 The reason is clear. The capitalist newspapers act as if they were bought and paid for by the war-in- triguer Chamberlain. They're too

Artur Rodanzky

Artur Bodanzky was an artist whose musical genius drew superlatives from all who wrote about him or talked about him. Conductor of the Metropolitan Opera for twenty-four years he held and merited reputation of the highest. Many said he was the greatest conductor the Metropolitan ever had, especially in the Wagnerian operas. A prolonged arthritiS lead to other complications which ended in his death Thursday at the age of sixty-one. This was distinct shock to the entire musical world and to those who had anticipated his early return to the Metropolitan, although it was known for some time that he would not conduct for a considerable time.
 It would be difficult to recite even few of Artur Bodanzky's accomplish ments. His reading of Wagner score was superb. Olin Downes of the New York Times writes that he was the great est conductor the Metropolitan ever had. For twenty-four years he led orchestra, soloists and ensemble with pronounced success; from the golden days of Caruso and Bori, down through the years to Melchior, Tibbett and Flagstad. His pas sion, no doubt, was Wagner's "Ring' in which the orchestral phrase is as import ant as the vocal presentation, and he actually seemed inspired when conduct ing one of these operas. He was possessed of great energy, was tremendously strict. The late James Gibbons Huneker, noted music critic, is quoted saying of him, that he could whip up his men to a delirious climax" also that he was one who "hovered about his band like bird on the wing, darting at phrase as if it were prey, but carrying all before him on the pinions of imagination"
 The Metropolitan Opera season opens next week. It will have capable con- ductor who will carry on according to the best musical traditions. But, nonethe- less, Bodanzky's loss to the organization is great in the extreme. Others will fill his place when Siegfried scars to great vocal heights, when Brunhilde sings her "Ho-yo-to-ho', or in "The Ride of the Valkyries" music, but in the death of Artur Bodanzky the Metropolitan Opera experiences a distinct loss and the mus ical world loses one of its most import ant opera conductors.
