The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-10-11

It is not generally realized that the House, unlike the Sem ate, voted on the embargo at the last session and turned down repeal by Al votes. It is true that due to inefficient floor leadership some 50 Democrats were absent - many of them drinking beer and eating sand wiches in the House restaurant while others gossiped with visit ing friends in the galleries.
 Even 50, turning over fl votes on as hot an issue as the embargo is no easy job.
 Administration leaders have just awakened to the fact that while they have been concentrating all their efforts in the Senate, Cough linites, the Bund, pacifist and other pro-embargo forces have been putting tremendous pressure on representatives. Illustrative was the action of Rev. Francis E. Caffery of the Old Mission at San Juan Bautista, Cal. calling on his parishioners to deluge Rep. John Anderson with letters demanding he oppose embargo repeal.
 There Is every indication that this organized pressure is having its effect. Congressmen always are more susceptible to outside heat. They not only come up for election every two years but their constituencies are much smaller than those of senators.

 photographers. And there = was Mary, tinpretentious, and bewil- dered by 1t all.
 Mary just came back from Hol- lywood where she appeared prom inently in picture. It has to do with the life of Victor Herbert, She is a singer. She was made to dance. She is 24 and hardly looks 1t.
 She appeared as a mother of a fairly grown-up daughter in the . movie. Does she mind? Not at all. What fuss they made over her. Even the cinematic geniuses who calmly overlooked her not many months ago behaved with deference.
 MOVIE STUDIOS
 PASSED HER UP
 But that calls for a little his- tory.
 The movies wouldn't have her. So she tried another field. She crashed the best night club out there as a songstress-the Troca- dero where film magnates and stars go.
 There she sang with sparse re. suits. A few celluloidic moguls screen-tested her. Always some thing was wrong. The nose jutted out too far. The mouth was too broad. The eyes were too blue. Anyway, no gol But one night, Laurence Schwab, the Broadway producer who was temporary movie galley slave, saw and heard her. He did not hesitate. He signed her up forthwith and with plenty of foresight. He arranged an appointment with her in Man hattan-the following Fall.
 So, on prearranged date, Mary arrived at Grand Central Termin- al. Schwab was out of town, so he couldn't meet her. No one else in New York knew Mary Martin. She settled down in a desolate East Side hotel.
 MT. Schwab returned few days later and apologized. His plans had gone awry, he said; his show wasn't ready. But he had heard that Producer vinton Freedley could use girl like her in Leave It to Me" And he would gladly give her 8 note of introduction, recommend her to the skies and sponsor her efforts in that direc- ton.
 Producer Freedley took a chance. He put her in Leave It to Me" He gave her 8 number to sing. The number was My Heart Belongs to Daddy" The night after warbling this affectionate refrain, Mary was a celebrity. NEW YORK'S HEART BELONGED TO MARY
 She not only was one of the hits of the show, but she became New York's feminine darling. Movie scouts wired their bosses that they had discovered 8 find" And their bosses-all faithful patrons of the Trocadero Club - wired back, Grab her quickly. Who is she?"
 But by now her initial sponsor, MT. Schwab, has found his cur- rent metier He had got together & musical show, based upon the laugh success of a few years back. Nice Goin!" he calls it and he beckoned Mary back as the fea- tured member of the cast. That's why she is here.
 And if anyone mentions a heart to her and links it up with daddy, she'll scream. And you should hear her scream.

NO HOPE FOR MEDIATION, EVEN BY ROOSEVELT, SEEN
 IN CONFLICT
Editor of The Democrat:

Editor of The Democrat:
 The offer of Herr Hitler to Pres ident Roosevelt to sit as arbitrator in the European war situation while no doubt, an earnest gesture for peace, presents impossibilities which must be considered from an inter- national viewpoint and also from a personal and American viewpoint that Herr Hitler overlooked in his appeal. In the first place it is a practical truth that one who runs may read, that world opinion, whether due to propaganda or not, that at this time, Germany cannot find any medium of irnpartiality that would do, in the Herr's opin- ion, justice to Germany, and would not be accepted by him as final, un- less it met his views. Hence any consideration of his appeal, would, from an American viewpoint, be fu- tile.
 If Germany's ruler was willing to abide by the decision of an impar- tial arbitrator there would be a hope of avoiding the threatened Arr mageddon; for there is no question, if the peace gesture of Herr Hitler is refused, but that Europe is play- ing on deaths doorstep. Death for millions of its manhood, and to use his own worlds" After 1t is all over, there will be nothing but ruins left!"
 And even if such decision did meet the approval of Herr Hitler, it is very probable that it would not be acceptable to Britain or France, which follows the English lead in all matters. It is in fact a vain gesture and no doubt will be so re- garded by President Roosevelt. And again the American President would be i'll fitted for such a task, as he is known to be a bitter critic of the Hitler aims and policies.
 It appears at this hour that there is no way out but war to the bit- ter end. A war which will lay the onus on the British and French. Let the impartial onlooker look at the situation as it exists from log ical and unprejudiced viewpoint. Only those who do not understand the Germans will believe for mo- ment that Herr Hitler'S ambitions soar above the recovery of all that country lost in the World war, or outside of the interests of Germany.
 The Hitler stand is a direct threat to the future dictatorship of Brit ain in world affairs. It is q threat to the foundation of the British em.

THE KEY TO PEACE
(Philadelphia Recordl

VFuHaueIpIlla ttVCUruI
 The key to prosperity is the key to peace.
 If nations cannot keep their peo- pie prosperous in peace, the discon- tent inevitably breeds war. And by insane paradox, the war produces temporarily the very prosperity whose absence drove men to each others throat.
 Unless our statesmen, and the the wisdom. courage and power to staten1en of other lands, can find apply the obvious lessons of war re- covery to peace; unless they yigh' our topsy-turvy system which hold that a quick peace would be disas trous.

j. w. John addressed the
County Commissioners last night
relative to an advertising book
let which he had under prepara-
ton at the present time and pre-
sented a rough copy of the pub
LEGATION which he had prepared,
to the board for examination.
He said that he had been as
sured by the Overseas Road and
Toll Bridge Commission that the
toll takers would be allowed to
present to the traveller over the
bridges copies of the booklet. OF
which were to be printed $4,000
copies.
The probable name of the
booklet will be Oversees to Key

formation, great deal of which
will be illustrated and requested
that the county take at least one
page in the publication at a cost
of 500.
Commissioner Monsalvatge
moved that the county agree to
take the page and pay for the
obligation when presented with
proof of publication.

JOHN ENGLAND

RAISE HIS PAY
SUPERVISOR INFORMED THAT
REQUEST WOULD BE TAX
EN- CARE OF IN COMING
BUDGET

John England, county supervi-
sor of registration, appeared be-
fore the county commissioners
last night and made request
that his emoluments be increased
from $62.50 monthly to 500.
Commissioner Monsalvatge said
that he had been giving the mat
ter some thought and was in
tending to recommend that SIS
be paid Mr.. England and this
figure be placed in the next
budget which would be prepared
next month.
Mr.. England replied that he
was not going to insist on any
stipulated increase, but felt that
the work was worth the figure
asked, but he would necessarily
have to accept whatever was de-
cided by the board.
It was generally agreed that
Mr.. England's work had been ex-
cellent, had given perfect satis-
faction to the officials and the
public, and he was assured that
the question would be given due
consideration before the next
budget became effective.
Commissioner Warren said that
Janitor Thomas Whitmarsh in
tended to ask for a raise in his
salary, but decided to bring the
matter up at a future meeting.

Half Million Persons Greet
King And Queen On Arrival
In National Capital Today
,ny As.eclated Pressl

Thy Associated Freesl
WASHINGTON. June s.-One
half million citizens Of the
United States were on hand to
greet the King and Queen of
England this morning when their
special sireamline train arrived
at the nations capital for the Of
fetal visit on the President and
members of his official family.
AS the train pulled into the
station and just prior TO depar-
ture into special automobiles for
the procession through thorough
fares of the capital. a salute of
twentY-one guns was fired by
the Army. and government
planes in battle formation flying
above dipped wings IN greeting.
President Roosevelt greeted
King George very simply. albeit
enthusiastically with these words
How are you? So glad to
have you with US" the while both
were shaking hands.
A full program of official re-
captions got under way with
luncheon this noon. following
which both the King and Queen
will enter into whirlwind of
activities sponsored by various
departments of this government
and the English embassy.
Last evenings entrance into
the United States at Niagara
Falls was accomplished with no
rnishap. Secretary Hull and
members of the State Depart
ment were on hand to greet the
royal couple in behalf of Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
One incident demonstrated the
democratic characteristics of King
George and Queen Elizabeth
when the streamline train was
held up for a short period in the
Buffalo train yards while switch
ing. The King and Queen step
ped off the train for a short
period to stretch their legs. and
while walking in the yards, chat
ted with yardsmen. In response
to Queen Elizabeth's question
concerning what the tempera-
ture would be in Washington,
one of the workers vouchsafed
that ''it would be plenty warm"
