 MT. Torsky played brilliant chess in winning against several of Wa terbLry's most expert players. Harel and Crossley, class B winners, have shown considerable ability for chess and will probably merit a position on the chess clubs inter-city team.

Finders, Keepers, Eh! North Main St. Man Finds Broken Watch, Placed Under Arrest, Loses Job, Gets Discharge
 by Judge .. Who's Lucky, He Asks.

If you find a watch. don't throw 1t away, even if. it's all cracked and broken.
 This appears to be the moral drawn by Anthony Tedesco, 39, of 78 Mill street, arraigned before Judge Theobald E. Conway in city court today on a charge of theft.
 Luck Begins!
 On Saturday night, March Il, Tedesco was buying groceries in a market on North Main street, near East Farms. Clerks asked him if he'd seen the accident across the way. There was blood On the snow, they told him. Te- desco went out to look. He didn't see any blood, but something else caught his eye, a small, dark strap, half-buried in the snow. Closer observation revealed wrist watch, which he picked up.
 Hard Luck
 On March 25, he was arrested by Detective Lieutenant Joseph Bender on a warrant charging theft.
 According to Tedesco in court today, after picking up the watch, he informed Saul Zieman, North Main street storekeeper, of his discovery. Zieman took his name and address. Tedesco went over to his car, drove into East Farms street. and stopped to examine the watch, which immediately fell

NEW SCHOOL FOR
 DIVING HOLSTERS
Noank Fish Hatchery, De- stroyed By Hurricane,
 to Be Re-Established

Hartford, April 12-Connecticut's famed marine fish hatchery al Noank, where young Holsters were taught to dive, will be re-establish- ed following destruction in the September hurricane, the State Board of Fisheries and Game today announced.
 Acquisition and alteration of a mill building near the old hatchery site has been approved as a join! state-WPA project under super vision of the State Department of Public Works.
 Total cost of the project as submitted for federal approval will be $58,6l8.30, of which the States share is s23 900.
 The former hatchery attracted attention of fish culturists through out the country when methods were successfully developed there tt produce fourth or diving stage Holsters in great quantities.
 Experiments by Captain Frank N Banning, in charge of the hatchery showed that artificially-propagat lobster fry floated near the surface when planted and were largely con- stunned by predatory fish.
 Special rearing tanks were per- fected in which diving ability of the young Holsters was developed by swift streams of water.
 When planted in shallow coastal waters the Holsters immediately dove to the bottom. Nearly a half million of the crustanceans have been reared annually since the diving school' was started, the Board reports.

 Trouble Looms

Philip Goldman, of PA Walnut street, injured in the accident, dis covered in the hospital that his watch was missing. He informed relative, who immediately investi- gated. From storekeeper zieman he obtained Tedesco's name and ad- dress. From Tedesco he learned that the watch had been thrown away At police headquarters warrant was issued for Tedesco's arrest.
 The case was continued several times. Meanwhile, Tedesco combed the area on East Farms street where he had thrown the watch, and man. aged to retrieve few parts, after two hours of search. These he pre- scented in a small envelope to the court today.
 Bad Luck
 Prosecutor Frank Healey and Judge Conway failed to find incrim- mating evidence of theft.

Peu0luci6n y Patria

No figurara entire enos Ell propio lider de la c. T. NJ,
seguramente. Porque 81 agitar la opinion es patriotismo,
81 10 es embaucar a los ignorantes con c%onceptos que no
podran ellos entender jamas, o poner ell peigro las re-
laciones internacionales, o enriquecerse a costa del d-
nero del trabajador, ~cuaIquier hombre de bien preferiria
mil veces ser "reaccionario", y antipatrota. En- cambio,
81 patriotismo es ell desinteres con que sc sirve al pueblo,
la intencion de e1eyar su nivel economico e intellectual,
protegerlo contra las Intermediates ensenandole los Sc
cretos de Ia hygiene, y respetar sus creencias, no son viz
tudes esas que p~ractique ell orador de Guadalajara. Nj 81
quiera es revolucionario, porque su interes esta EN- Ell con-
troll de la voluntad popular por una minorfa privilegiada,
algo que choca con los principles de la Democracia, en-
cuyo nombre Sc han organizado todos esos movimientos
sangrientos que han venido aflfgiendo a Mexico desde
hace treinta anos. Orlando contra ell Fascismo, es fas-
cista sin saberlo; habando de la Revolution con TN en-
tusiasmo Y una vehemencia sospechosos, es la antftesis
de la Revolution, que Sc hizo para lbertar y no para SUI
jetar; para que Ell pueblo tuviera ell derecho de elegir sus
mandatarios, Y no para que los lideres vinieran a impo-
merle un criterio vendido al mejor poster, a aquel que
asegure la continuation de una bonanza con Ia cual eilos'
los lfderes, han resuelto definitiyamente ss problemas
economicos y los de sus ~allegados.
Creemos que en- este discurso, ell senior lombardo
Toledano ha lido demasiado lejos, porque como hemos d.
cho va. la REVOLUTION no es Ia Patria, y los hombres que
sirven a la primera no son necesariamente servidores dc
Ia segunda. La REVOLUTION ha sacrifcado en- los campos
de batalla a milares de mexicanos. Y ino es clerto aca-
so que matar a uno solo de enos es va de suyo un dento
de lesa TRACTION a la Patria? jNo 10 es ell contrlDur a i'd
destruction de sus fuentes de riqueza, poner ell pehsro
su prestigio ante ell extranjero, proyocar su rulna econo-
mica? Entonces, ipor que conceder ea exclusive dsl pa
triotismo a los hombres que estan en- ell candelero poln-
co en- la actualidad, y a los que sin reflexionar slquiera
los cubran de alabanzas por bienes que no nan hecho'
cuando menos, con la intencion de hacerlos?
La respuesta a esas preguntas, la tiene el hder pfrn-
cipal de la c.. r. NJ. Pero Sc guardara muy Dlen de lot
mularla, porque para hacerlo tendrfa que arrojar la mas
cara. Y ESQ significaria cegar SUI mas RIGA fuente de In
gresos, algo que 81, acknowledgements, no esta ~dispuesto a
permitir.
La opinión., 1939-09-02

Ante la Federation de Trabajadores de Jalisco, que
sc reunio en- Convention la semana pasada en- Guadala-
iara, el Secretario General de la C. T. NJ. subio a la ti-
buna para vertir algunos conceptos que invitan a la mas
seria meditation. Djo entire otras cosas que "Cardenas
ha sido ell P~residente mas tipicamente anti-imperiaIista y
anti-feudaI'; que Eel pueblo necesita pan y hogares y es-
to es 10 que ell gobierno lie esta dando", para terminar con
una de sus frases habituales. INC es patriota-dijo-aqueI
que no es revolucionario'.
ESQ, desde luego, es insistir en- ell error de antano:
en- confundir a la Revolution, que ha sido IN movimien-
to sectario, con tendencias politicas y sociales, con la
Patria, que es la madre comIn. De acuerdo con csc ci-
terio, un hombre que ofrendara su vida a la Patria, no
seria patricia a menos que su nombre ffgurase en- las
listas del P. r.. M. o que hubiese servido con las armas en-
la mano, a las facciones que sucesivamente sc han apo
dorado de los puestos %pnblcos, va con Carranza, con Obre-
gon, con Gales O con Cardenas. En- Gambia, un genuine
revolucionario, que hubiera miitado a las 6rdenes de Ge-
novevo de la o, de Panfilo Natera, de Amaro o del propio
Cardenas, podrfa Improvements realizar I'm acto de trail
ci6n, sin llevar encima ell sambenito de una falta de pa
triotismo que esta reservado exclusiyamente, para los
hombres de la Reaction. Porque 81 no es patricia aquel
que no es revolucionario, sc sobrentiende que Ell que 10
sea, tiene conquistado por csc solo hecho ell merito que
~distinguio, por ejemplo, a los repubHcanos de 1862, o a
los cadetes heroicos de 1S47.
La Revolution Mexicana, que fue en- I'm principle la
expression pura y sincera del pueblo, anhelante de liber-
tades, no tardo en- copiar justamente los patrones que
POGO antes destruyera. va 10 hemos dicho en- otras oca-
stones: Madero Sc rebel6 ante la imposition de Corral, e
impuso a SUI vz a Pine Suarez; Carranza Sc sublevo con-
ira Huerta, e intento gobernar por medic de don 1gnacio
Bonilas; Gales Sc pronuncio en- Aqua Prieta contra los
procedimientos que mas tarde haria suyos, y traiciono
los principles fundamentals del movimiento que 10 ee-
v6 al poder. Muchos revolucionarios del movimiento orr
ginal, estan ahora en- desgracia, considerandoseles como
reaccionarios", a pesar de sus m6ritos i%nnegables. Otros,
que miItaron bajo los estandartes del general Huerta, no
solamente estan en- ell Ejercito actual, sino desempenan
puestos de alta investidura. iCuales son, entonces, los re-
volucionarios, aquellos que segun ell senior Lombardo tie
men exclusive derecho al dictado de patriotas?
