Winners Named To-day
 In Democrats Contest

There are ten boys and girls in Waterbury today who are cer- tainly starting the New Year right because they are the winners of the prizes offered for the best colored sketches of the famous Dionne quintuplets.
 The contest, which closed the last day of 1888, was for the best coloring of the wonder children in the Dionnes' picture-sto of "Cinderella," which is appearing every day in The Waterbury Democrat.
 Many and varied were the en- tries in the Dionne-"C Cinderella" contest and the "Cinderella" Editor of The Waterbury Demo- crat found that Waterbury boys and girls are very artistic wien it comes to painting costumes for the famous children who live up in Canada.

 Dies Committee Excerpts
 Washington, Jan S--(UPl-Fol- lowing are excerpts from the Dies committees official summary of its report to the house on un-American activities:
 While it is true that our com- mittee has only scratched the sur- face of the un-American and sub- versive activities of those who are invading America with their alien ideologies, it is also true that we have received abundant evidence to support the following findings with reference to the Communist party: It is an integral part of world revolutionary movement for pole tartan internationalism. It is under the direct control of the Third International which has its headquarters in Moscow. It looks upon Russia as the "fa- therland of the revolutionary work CID dIAu CtsklA1Ob Clduu, ulcIClUICi any degree of loyalty to the Amer ican form of government. Whereas 1t once employed the frank slogan of "the defense of the Soviet Union." it works today to embroil this country in a foreign war by the propagation of the doc- urine of collective security" Overthrow of U. S. It seeks ultimately the overthrow of the American form of govern ment as established by the consti- tuition of the United States. It aims to set up a dictatorshir of the proletariat in this country notwithstanding its present tactical silence on his fundamental tenet ot Communism.
 It rests upon brutal violence de- spite its present dishonest profes- sion of belief in the processes oi democracy.
 It is bound by no ordinary ethical limitations in seeking to advance its program.

Of course, the Dionne uuinthp- lets being girls. it was natural that the girl contendets did somewhat better than the boys. But, then, boys could't be ex- pected to know as much about girls dresses, even in a fairy story presentation like the "Cin. derella" contest.
 The winners will be receiving their tickets right away because they have been mailed. And the contest editor hopes that every winner will enjoy looking at the picture, "Sweethearts," which Is in color, too.
 Here are the winners, each of whom gets a pair of guest tickets to the motion picture, Sweet hearts," starring Jeanette Mac- Donald and Nelson Eddy and ap- bearing this week at the Loew- Poli theater:
