Waterbury Delegation at Opening of Worlds Fair
 Yesterday

Scores of Waterburians were among those attending the opening of the New York's World Fair yes- terday. By excursion train, bus and private automobiles, the Waterbury group converged on the metropolis.
 Many were in the huge throng which heard President Roosevelt make a stirring plea for interna- tional peace as he officially opened the gigantic fair.
 A number of local residents spent the weekend in New York, joining the thousands from all parts of the country who were in Gotham for the start of the fair. Not all the Wa terburians went to the fair, how ever. Many said they preferred to wait until later in the season, when the work at the grounds has been entirely completed, and when the rush will not be as great it it was yesterday.
 Excursion trains from this city to New York will run four times week. ly during the duration of the fair.

BOARD MAY NAME
 JOHN J. WALSH
Action Expected Today on Appointment of School
 Inspector

The committee on schoolhouses will probably present the name of John J. Walsh, president of the board of education, for appointment to the post of school buildings in- spector at meeting of the board this afternoon.
 Opposition, if any, will probably come from Republican members of the board and possibly from one, of the Independent Democrats. The four Democratic members are ex- pected to vote along regular party Ines, and the other favorable vote may come from the remaining Inde- pendent Democrat.
 MT. Walsh, who is supposed to be the mayors choice for the position, will have to resign from the board, if he is elected. A new chairman of the board will probably be chosen by seniority, and it is expected that either Commissioner Harry c. Post or Commissioner Nathan Freedman will be named.
 A new member to the board would be appointed by the mayor, but this appointment may take several weeks or months.
 The board is also expected to dis cuss the matter of appointing deans of girls at the three high schools to act as advisors to the girls and su- pervise their afternoon activities.

Gandhi's Successor May Be Man Who'll Seek Full Independence From Britain
dia Congress has slipped.

dia Congress has slipped.
 Last year, with his blessing more or less, Bose was elected President of the Congress. But Bose went so far to the Left and so far in his violent opposition to the British that this year Gandhi tried to beat him. He put up as his candidate Patt- habhi Sitaramayya of Madras. Bose beat him by 1875 to 1876.
 At once some of the elders in the Congress, resigned. So did Nehru. although his theology is supposed to be more like that of Bose. In fact, Nehru was. once called an Indian Trotzky with an Oxford accent.
 Bose was born. in 1897 in Bengal. Graduating from Cambridge Uni-, versity in 1921, he was on his way haome to enter the Indian civil serv- ice when he read Gandhi's plea for passive resistance against British rule. He resigned from his prospec- tive job and entered politics.
 He was elected Chief Executive Officer of the big city of Calcutta and later, in 193O, was elected Mayor.
 nIfourten years, he was arrested 10 times and jailed for total of eight years, often without any trial. At one time, as Mayor, he conducted his office in jail. Several times the Brit ish had to release him lest he die of tuberculosis.
 Last year he mocked Chamberlain, asking why, if he was so concerned about self-determination for the Sudeten Germans, he did not grant the same right to nationalists in the British Empire.
 He scorns the constitution the British parliament voted to India. His objective is complete Indian in- dependence, with the Indians mak- ing their own constitution.
 "Then," he says, i've will deter mine our future relations with Bri- tain through a voluntary treaty in which we will meet as equals"

each new cris.s snail be the last before the storm of death and de- Struction sweeps over a continent of even the world itself. How perilous, how futile these dreams of empire even for those who seem at the mo- ment to profit. by success and vic- tory.
 In other centuries there were conquerors who had delusions of grandeur. The common drunkard thinks he owns the whole road. Woe betide him and any he may meet on the road. The conqueror drunk with power dreams of owning the whole world and what ghastly power for death and destruction turns on his perilous decisions. It has been said that thinking in terms of imperialism and conquest we do well to remind ourselves of that say ing of Tacitus, the Roman historian, 'The history on which I am en- tering is that of a period rich in disasters, terrible with battles, torn by civil struggles, horrible even in peace"
 We are reminded that mans true empire is in the realim of the spirit. In that realm mans estate may be enlarged and without bring ing in consequence, disasters, blood- shed, destruction, death and devas- tation. Man may enlarge his en- pire by added knowledge. Modern man has shown passion for scien- tific knowledge. The great advances in mechanical and industrial lines have been made through scientific research. Through all the ages man has reached out for greater know ledge, more light, sounder faith. But it is not only by added knowledge that we enlarge the empire of mans estate.
 Our empire is widened also by appreciation. There is a certain sense in which the minds owns what it appreciates and only what it appreciates. We own in certain sense a fine building, noble cathe- dral, if we appreciate its beauty. We would not take title to the building, we would not purchase the cathe- dral if we had all the wealth of the Indes. It is appreciation, not legal ownership, that fills the heart with content and praise.

Appreciation Widens
 Empire, Ayers P Pastor
True Measure of Success Not Accumulation Says Sec=
 ond Church Pastor in Timely Sermon

"The true measure of success is not accumulation, but appreciation, a business man recently said in an address before local service club" stated Rev. John c. Walker, pastor of the Second Congregational church in his sermon yesterday morning entitled, My Gift of Ap- preciation.'
 Dr. Walker said in part: That business man is not far from the kingdom to use the Biblical phrase. He has the root of the matter of religion. I am not surprised to find that he is an active laymen in a church and useful citizen in a city not many miles away. You might almost say that appreciation is the only success, the only appropria- tion. The finest worK ot art, the noblest music, the greatest literature are of values only to those who have cultivated the gift of artistic or musical or literary appreciation.
 In our day we nave seen the re- surgence of imperialism. There are kingdoms and empires reaching out for larger domains, trampling the liberties of alien peoples into the ground that they may attain, as they suppose power and glory and wealth and well-being. The world watches aghast. We .remble lest
